Hello All,
I recently bought my first smartphone here in Beijing. It's a dopod D805; I hope to upload media to it from my Vista-loaded PC.
The problem is Vista doesn't seem to recognize the device. I downloaded Windows Mobile Center (sorry if I've got the name wrong) but it doesn't seem to do anything. The CD that came with the device doesn't work (it keeps telling me to install Flash 8.0, which seems to imply the software on the disc was designed for pre-Vista systems).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Update:
The phone seems simply not to work on Vista. I am now dual-booting XP alongside Vista, and have had much more success using XP and Activesync.
A new newbie question:
I cannot copy files (music, PDFs) from my PC's HDD to the phone's drive. Each time I try I am told there is not enough free space on the drive. This is absurd, as there is nothing on the drive other than what came on it, and the files I'm trying to copy are quite small. What gives?

Welcome to the forum
Have a look in the Wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Love
Hope it helps,
Thanks for the response.
I checked that page before posting, but it doesn't seem to have much beyond the specs for my model.
All I want to do is install Pleco, and upload some MP3s/PDFs. When I plug the device in, I get the "bing bong" sound, but no new HD appears in My Computer. Since I'm running Vista, I can't use the bundled Activesync software.
Help?
i dont know if this will help but i cant sync my phone with xp unless i set my firewall to allow all.
if you go to my computer and look at your drives, does it not show you phone there as F: or whatever?
Right, it doesn't show a new drive. Note that I'm running Vista, not XP. I'm in the process of getting a dual-boot setup going, but I'm not there yet. Very frustrating.

Hi guys,
I don't have a card reader, so I would like to know if I can copy files from my PC and paste them into my mini-SD, because I can't do that with ActiveSync !!
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Search for a program called WM5 Storage and install that on your device. It makes the computer think it's interfacing with a SD reader so that you can copy back and forth like you can with activesync

Thank you so much Urthwhyte !!!! Cheers to you !
AM I right in assuming that the program worked for you? Good luck with copying over with whatever it was you needed to, and a belated welcome to the forums!

Yes! But a large file ( aprox. 900MB ) gave me a redundance error. I'll try again today.
By the way, I think that this software came already bundled in the latest Ax3l ROM !!! eventhough, thanks for your kindness words and support !

Well... my previous comment refered working in windows XP. Unfortunately, I'm getting to even a more solid conclusion that Windows Vista is really a pain. There's a lot complicated things ( or I'm a really hass *ole ); specially in recognizing my miniSD card of P3600, the P3600 itself. I had problems installing Windows Mobile Device Center in vista too. GRRR. Even my brand new external hard drive Lacie 500GB USB 2.0 is asked to install drivers. Even if install them... every time I logon into Vista it asks for drivers... !! I'm starting being tired of Vista issues. I will make a dual boot and that's the end of story.
Sorry about this last comment. But I needed to ...
Hey guys.
How do I install 6.5 on my i780? Guide, anyone?
Few other questions:
-Is it stable enough to use?
-What will happens to my files and programmes?
-Is it fully supported by my phone?
Thanks
You can find how to flash on this forum in i780's threads, basically you need an xp pc, mirage, modem drivers and activesync.
-It's stable except for a mouse bug (when you move the cursor a little square appears on the screen)
-Flashing the device you'll lose everything (except for the files stored in the micosd card) but you can backup sms, calls, contacts etc (no files and no installed programs) with a software called pimbackup
-Yeah but it has the mouse bug (for me it's terrible, but maybe you can live with it)
Ah I see. I'll go look for the stuff and give it a try.
Also.. I heard something about bricking your device? Does this occur often?
Mouse bug shouldn't annoy me that much, since I use the D-pad function.
Thanks for the info
EDIT: I'm using Windows 7, but I can also switch to XP. I have the Activesync program for Windows 7, so would it work?
thanks too
The flashing program (mirage) only works under xp (there are some ways to use it on vista but i suggest you to use xp, i flash from a virtual machine under win7 x64 without problems).
Bricking the device is possible, someone bricked his device and some others people didn't. I hope you're not in the 1st group. This doesn't happens really often but the risk of bricking exists.
i m using samsung i750 How do I install 6.5 on my i750? Guide, anyone?

Hi, so I just got an HTC Fuze. I'm usually pretty tech savvy but apparently not with this. I can't get my phone synced with my computer so I got an SD card reader to transfer files. However I've got no idea how to install half of the apps I've downloaded. The single .cab files I understand. Just copy them over and run them on the phone. Even the .exe I got a .cab converter for but most of them come zipped with at least like 10 or way more files with one of the XML document setup things. Could someone please tell me what I do with these? The file types are always numbers and I just don't get it.
Also, if someone might be able to let me know why my computer won't recognize my phone that would be greatly helpful. It's a 32 bit Vista. I've got Windows Mobile Device Center on but the computer calls my phone an unknown device. I feel like I've tried a hundred different things but it just won't work. My phone is running TAEL ROM does this have anything to do with it?
Thank you!
Hi everyone! I recently switched from a Pre 2 to an HTC Trophy. I love WP7 but I have a few problems. Before I tell you about them I will tell you I have installed the Mango beta onto my device. (BTW I'm on Verizon) Now onto my issues.
* I am running Ubuntu. I have Zune installed in a Windows XP emulator. For some reason the entire computer (Ubuntu and Windows XP) don't recognize the phone when connected via USB. The device just charges.
* I am a big music buff and I NEED MUSIC ON MY DEVICE. As I have said, I run Ubuntu, how am I supposed to do this?
* I would love to use all those fun programs to edit the registry on the device to change the color schemes (because I hate the colors that come pre installed) but I run Ubuntu. I'm sure I could do it via emulator but how come my phone is not recognized?
* Please tell me why my phone isn't recognized.
Thankyou for all help in advance and I am really really really happy to be a part of this community. I used to be a member on XDA back in my Android days and I'm psyched to be back. Please help me with my problems

You could try to setup Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 in a virtual machine on your system. That should work.

Thanks for the reply, however, I already stated I'm running Windows XP in VirtualBox. When I run lsusb in Linux terminal one of the USB devices is Microsoft and when I unplug the device and run the command again it disappears. So it seems Ubuntu knows its there but since it has no mass storage capabilities it does not display it on the desktop. This still doesn't explain why Windows XP cannot see it because I have USB connections settings checked in VirtualBox.
I think it is a Windows XP problème... Windows 7 does a better job in recognizing devices.
XP is Just to old

You stated that you use an emulator. I really recommend using VM Ware. I never had any issues with USB devices or anything else on it. Since I never used VirtualBox I can't explicitly help you with it though, sorry.

Use Windows 7 or Vista ...XP its not working for me....
Ok so now Windows XP sees the device as "Windows Phone 7" but Zune still won't detect it no matter what I do. Any ideas?

XP is going to continue to be a bad choice... What version of ZUNE are you running?
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
if you using Zune 4.7 try updating to Zune 4.8 and check if your mobile is getting detected.
I've tried installing various versions of Android adb/mtp/usb drivers and still can't get my fresh install of XP SP3 to recognize my OnePlus One. I read another post on this subreddit about a guy was able to get it working after a long fight. Well I've been at it for hours now.. is there anyone transferring files between your XP machine and your OnePlus? Care to share how you got it to work?
Windows XP ended consumer support in 2009, therefor it is missing some updates for MTD devices to work properly. Download and install http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v1.0-WinXP.exe I would suggest updating your OS to avoid future problems.
Thank you very, very much! This combined with installing the latest windows media player did the trick! Now my only problem is that I get an error message saying 'not enough storage space' only when transferring large 1gb+ files while I have 200+gb free on my PC's hard drive and 10+ on my OnePlus One. Any ideas on how to fix this problem now?
