Hello, I purchased a used sprint tp without the start up cd. I know not so smart. But the price was good. So now is there a way i can get the information without the cd, so i can sync to my computer? Or do i have to buy the CD?
you just have to download the latest active sync software from microsoft (if your using vista) and away you go

You go GOOGIE Search PPC sync 4.5, installed on the PC, reset the PC, OK solved the problem yet?
Windows Mobile Device Center if you are on Vista or Windows 7 is all you need:

ActiveSync if you are on XP or below:

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.

If you have the new office on your computer, you can install it from there. Other than that, no way that I know of that you can get it legally

Yes I have Office 2oo7 installer on my PC. But how can I install it in my windows mobile
Have onenote on your PC running, and when you connect your phone using activesync, a box should pop up asking if you want to install onenote to your phone. I did this 2 min ago to check if it works, and it did.

Tried but it failed to install One Note 2007 in my windows mobile 6.0 pro mobile. Shall I try Office One Note 2003 version? Currently installed version of mobile office in my wm is 6.1
the cab file should be in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\<some nr>
SOLVED: I uninstalled it in the computer's Device Manager, removed the device, reinstalled it, scanned for hardware changes, and it now works. Sorry for the bother to all of you. This might be helpful to the 'simpler' website members [Like ME! ] so I am leaving it here.
I have a Sprint TouchPro 2 with OEM 6.1 os. I have two laptops. Both are running Windows 7. One version is 'professional' the other is 'ultimate'. Both are 32 bit systems. Both have synchronized with this phone as recently as 2 weeks ago with no problems.
My phone syncronizes fine on the Windows 7 Professional computer through WMDC. HOWEVER, I then plug it into my Windows 7 Ultimate computer and WMDC can't find the device. It searches forever and then says [in red] ERROR where it said 'Searching' or 'Connected' before. I have run all the same updates on the computers from Microsoft. the only difference in software I can think of is that I used the Ultimate computer to install the .NET 3.5 compact program onto the phone, and now it doesn't work.
I'll try to remove the .NET from the Windows 7 Ultimate computer, but do I need it installed on THIS computer to keep it installed on my phone?
Can anyone think of any other possible problems?
I don't think it's the phone, as it works on the Professional computer, just not on the Ultimate one. The settings are the same [all checked and allowing connections in bluetooth in both: the settings are all the same].
I just can't get the Ultimate to recognize that the phone is plugged in.
UPDATE:
When I checked in the device manager, it stated that: "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"
Does anyone have any suggestions on where specifically to look? Thanks!
same problem here.
I have windows 7 ultimate 64bit and WMDC 6.1.6965.0

make sure you let windows update find the appropriate drivers for the phone... after that you should be in business
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.

Αnd in addition to that dont use XP ...
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.
Hi All
Phone Model: HTC Touch Pro T7272
A friend of mine recently updated from Windows Vista to Windows 8.
And hey presto no more Active Sync, windows 8 will not even reconigse the phone.
I have been looking around and seen no solution to getting Active Sync to work with Windows 8.
So now the other option is change the phone. However that requires resources which are very limited.
Would changing to Android on the HTC Touch Pro T7272 be any good? Are all the features working? Is it possible to roll back to previous windows os, if it not suitable? or does anyone know a way to get Active Sync to work with Windows 8?
Any kind of advice or help will be much appropriated.
I believe Android syncs with a Google account. This port does not require a flash so once you restart your device, its back to WinMo, you go. Additionally, you should be able to backup your contacts with another program that should be included, called PIM Backup. OR are you just looking for a way to sync your device to your computer? If not, what exactly? Also, I do hope you have changed the USB mode from Disk Drive to ActiveSync. On a final note, there should be a check box for "faster data synchronization", you should un-check it if ActiveSync does not recognize your device.

You could install via windows 8 or 7 "Virtual PC" then -> windows xp sp3 then -> activesync+ other old apps quite complicated to setup at first
