Some how I must have clicked on the "Don Not Ask Me Again" box on the USB connection screen. Now I have to manually go to the "settings" - "connections"- "USB to PC" in order to change from active sync to disk drive. I have the Ask me first box checked but no luck.
Any ideas?
BTW, I did try the search function and I am running the new HTC Fuze stock Rom.
Many thanks to all!
reset the phone , if that doesn't work hard reset the phone . with something like this unless you know the registry (which would take quite awhile to find) you can't fix it unless you reset the phone.
Yeah, usually all you have to do is check mark that in the settings. It happened to me once too, and I couldn't change it. So I had to hard reset.
I have the same problem. Someone must have figured it out already!
I would try changing it in the registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC]
"DisablePopUpUI"=dword:00000000
You want it to be 0.
resetting activesync default start up choice
Thank you Farmer Ted! Been struggling years with this type of problem, including doing hard resets... Your simple registry solution does the trick.

i need some serious help. i installed the program Device Application Locker (DAL) and it seemed to not work. after an uninstall of the trial and a restart of my cingular 8525, i get all sorts of errors. whenever i try to open programs on the phone such as file explorer, camera, games, messages...literally everything; i get an error reading the file "file name" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file. i tried a hard reset and i get the same message with file name ' ctlpnl'. i need help, i just got this phone and it was a lot of money. how can i fix my phone? how can this even be possible if i cant access file explorer as well? PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.
EDIT:im really freaking out now. i cannot connect my 8525 with active sync through the USB... when i attempt to connect it says on my device, NOTIFICATION ERROR cannot execute repllog.exe, is there an alternate way to connect and try to reinstall the program to try and reverse this mess or is there a way i can reinstall wm5 to factory settings?
yes but
i would love to hard reset the phone but i cannot access any of my apps. i can view them and once i click on them such as clear storage for a hard reset i get this message , ctlpnl.exe this file 'ctlpnl' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. you might need to reinstall or restore this file. how can i possibly do so if i canot connect active sync with usb oraccess file explorer. theres got to be an alternate way.
search on how to do a hard reset. theres like 3 ways of doing. i think like holding the camera button and the green button and press the soft reset button and hold it. something like that. just search and you'll find the answer . so no need to freak out. you'll be fine.
WOOOhoo
LoL, i am loving you guys more and more, not only is this a fantastic website, the people are great here too. the alternate hard reset is holding the 2 soft buttons and entering the stylus into the reset hole. thank you so much i need to set up my device now. let you know how it goes. thanks again!!!!
it all went smoothly, i feel like i just won a prize or something. this definitly made my week, i was trying to figure out when was a good time to drop another 500$. thank you all so much for the help
no problem, will do. and the SPB programs are of my choice too. i like them.
Ok, I know I gotta PM mods here but I thought I'd make another topic about it since there might be more ppl out there knowing how to fix my problem. Feel free to delete it, or tell me to remove the topic and I'll pm any of you one by one, as you desire.
My Windows Mobile went crazy. Its a known bug but I just can't seem to fix it.
Already made another topic about it, since it occurs to a lot of ppl using the HTC Touch Diamond, but it might be a common Windows error, and not just to ppl using the listed device.
The symptoms:
- Access is denied error message when trying to copy files to the phone using ActiveSync.
- Access is denied error message when trying to delete any files or copy files between folders and/or the storage card on the phone.
- You do not have permission to download that type of file in Internet Explorer when trying to download any files.
- No programs show up in Remove Programs.
- Installation Unsuccessful error messages when trying to install any applications.
- ActiveSync will fail with an error message that you should start the troubleshooter.
And the solution:
Code:
- Please follow the exact steps listed below.
- Soft Reset is done with the stylus, if you press it in the little round hole that is next to the USB port of HTC touch (the other oval hole at the other side of the USB port is the microphone. Do not stick your stylus in that hole)
- Power off is done when you keep the power button (on the top) pressed and you see a message from windows, asking if you want to power off your device.
The procedure to fix and recover from this amazing bug.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Now you can find this anywhere on the map, with a lil bit of google skills, however .. its just not working for me. I did the exact things listed, and even changed some small parts of it during the 10 times I tried. And yet my problems aren't solved. I'm wondering, quite desperately, if theres anyone out there that might actual know what could have caused it or fixes it. I'm sooo not looking into a format/reinstall.
Thanks in advance
is active sync giving you an error code (a number)
Thank you for your fast response. Sync isn't giving an error code or number. Baiscally what the error messages tells me is, free translated:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync help on your desktop computer"
but in Dutch. All it leaves me to do is press OK and start a sync checkup, which doesn't find anything but the usual Outlook "problem" (I don't have it installed, nor do I wan't to sync email with it).
joel got an idea ?
Waited half a day, plox joel, if you got any idea help me out. I'm afraid I gotta hard-reset, but I wanna avoid it. Any help is welcome ...
No clue?
I'd like to bump this once more, since theres been some interest in it but now it's just forgotten
honestly, the best way to solve these types of problems is a hard reset.
the time you spend in here / searching in google / trying stuff is much longer than what you'd spend hard reseting and installing stuff.
i also suggest you get a system backup app so you won't have to reinstall and copy and sync every time you need to hard reset.
I know thats the easy solution, and I will hard reset my device, but only ONCE I got my photos contacts and texts off it. Especially the photo's are quite important to me.
Hey
I've got this ASUS smartphone I'm giving away (its got a cracked screen) - and because its ASUS I cant flash it.
Is there a way to wipe the Messages, Contacts and email settings through activesync, I can see program files windows dirs etc...?
Thanksn
you can hard reset it. just search for the combination of how to hard reset your asus and you'll be ok.
The only way for this phone is through the phone interface of which I cannot access (http://www.hardreset.eu/asus_p750_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html)
Doesn't make sense. there's always a way to hard reset using the Hardware buttons only since a Hardreset is supposed to solve the issue of having problems using your touchscreen or the Interface in general. find it .. and you're ok
Are you saying theres nothing I can do with remote filesystem access through activesync.
if you go to active sync and uncheck the sync options for contacts, callender and emails, doesnt this wipe them off the device?
The other option in to rename the pim file on the device to something else, soft reset, then you can delete the pim file. worked for me when i lent out my prophet to a mate for a while (although i didnt delete the file, just hid it out of prying eyes
yup, these are good options as well.
when you sync with nothing it erases everything. messages and call history won't be wiped.. for messages you can rename cemail.vol and pim.vol and then delete them.
tho if your screen is cracked.. i see no reason why not to save yourself the trouble and just hard reset
yh thats true
there should be a way to hard reset using clear storage in software, unless the screen is dead dead and cant be used... (or is that just wm6? its been a while since i used wm5 lol)
you can hard reset using software in WM5 to my knowledge.. but he can't since his screen can't be used (as far as i understand).
if he can still sync, might be able to use my mobiler to access the functions on the device whilst synced via the computer, goto clear stoarge and activate it... should work... long winded yes lol, but short of knowing how to hardware reset i dont know.
Guys,
I use AT&T Tilt. Since 1/09/09, my device has seized to sync with my computer. The sync failure support code is: 0x8503001f. I am pretty good with computers and such, but I have not been able to find any solutions.
So far I have done the following:
1: uninstall/reinstall active sync 4.5
2: Soft reset on the phone.(I have not ben able to do hard reset. The instructions suggest to press two buttons simultaneously but fails to tell which ones. Additionally I have tried reset button at the bottom of the device but it only results in soft reset no matter how long you hold.)
Please instruct how to can I clear the cause for 0x8503001f and be able to synchronize my machine again.
Thank you advance,
additional info
3- I have deleted the onld activesync partnership but the when I reconnect the PPC, XP does not show a wizard instead tries to sync until failure message.
4- I have also tried to play with instructions on source: http://social.technet.microsoft.com...y/thread/ca9b53aa-7f89-4b08-82a1-88bb9330efc9
Thanks...
5- Deleted and recreated Outlook 2003 profile. No success.....
Please help...!!!!
6- Finally I was able to fix the issue on my machine. The problem was not with my laptop or with the Outlook. Instead, there was something wrong with the active sync on PPC. I backed-up the data and then did a hard reset (ATT Tilt: A hard reset is when you go into settings and click on clear storage). After doing that, I was able to sunc my machine.
Disclaimer:
I am not a developer and cannot explain why I got the error in the first place. Also, what exactly hardreset does to fix sync trouble other than reinitializing all registries. My logs here are only as a reference. Please feel free to use my tips at your own risk.

I am trying to change the "Phone as modem" value to "Sprint" found in hklm-comm-internetsharing-settings
I tried phm regedit, and resco explorer registry editor on the phone, then I tried mobile registry editor 1.1 on the desktop pc that remotely edits the phones registry, I also tried CERegeditor that is on the Desktop to remotely edit, and another one that allows you to "unlock" the registry like CE before editing (But none of them work. I tried all of the below with every single editor). I am using soft reset 1.1 and or the soft reset button.
I read that you have to wait a minute with wm5 and wm6 for it to save properly then soft reset and it will save.
I have made the edit, exit the program and reset, reverts to old setting. I tried to make the change and stay in the program for several minutes, then reset, reverts to old setting.
I tried deleting the key, waiting each way resetting, bam the old key pops back up.
I have tried every combination for every length of time up to including waiting several hours before the reset with the program open and then with it closed, and still after the reset, bam the original is back.
I even tried hard resetting the phone thinking maybe something installed keeping me from editing the registry, but nope.
I also tired the cab tethering fix files I have found....nope, still shows "Phone as Modem" in the key value
I even just tried reloading the rom from HTC to see if thats why I could not edit, maybe my version was messed up some how.
Nope, still cannot get it to save the "Sprint" value.
Please help, any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or has this been the case for anyone else?
