I just had my HTC Touch HD T8282 with MW version 1.14.403.3(22273) WWE. I have several questions and hope to find answers here.
1. Google maps were not already installed, I installed it by myself from mobile.google.com. The program works fine but it does not find any satellite. Is it normal ? I am living in Turkey.
2. Should I upgrade my OS to 1.19... by using the OliNex ? I mean are there any big differences between those two versions ? I don't see any lag on my device currently. Are there so many new properties coming with the new version ? I am using my pda mainly for business.
3. This is my biggest problem. From Start>Programs>Messenger I open Windows Live Messenger. I choose sign in as Busy, Online or Away, etc. Then I click sign in and proceed to mail&password screen. But at that screen I cannot write my e-mail !! I can write my password thus I cannot click the sign in button because the mail is not written. Its the 2 of the 5 steps. What should I do? If the upgrade will fix this issue I will do it immediately. Messenger is a must for me in pda.
4. What is the best source for downloading .cab game files.
Thanks.
Has anyone found a way to sync the phone on Windows 7? I´ve tried everything possible and "nada"... Anyone?
why just not use a beta OS?
xgm... thats the stupidest response ever. how does a product get tested if people dont test it?
now we know that activesync doesn't work properly and a bug report can be submitted.
Glad I found someone testing windows 7 on XDA! I'm having the same problem, but I hope for you it isn't as bad as it is for me. NONE of my USB ports are working. Have you tried using any other device? My zune won't sync either. I'm hoping that someone with computing intelligence greater than I will be able to tell us why, but for now I'm stuck with no zune and flashing from SD.
Are you guys all in the TAP program? The beta hasn't been released to us lowly testers yet.. If it's anything like the vista beta, don't expect to be able to sync until the equivilant of WMDC comes out.. although I would have thought that would work on winders 7..
It's an extremely interesting problem... when I plug in my zune or phone, it shows up in the safely remove hardware menu, so the computer is recognizing that it is plugged in. However, it isn't charging and it's never recognized in my computer. Another interesting thing is that the first time that I plugged both in after installing the new beta, it installed the new drivers. I just can't figure it out. It's like it wanted to recognize it and it's trying to but it just won't lol. The phone i can deal with since I can just keep popping my SD in the card reader but I really need to update my zune...
For me it's good
Im testing Windows 7 on my laptop (a Macbook), I installed the Windows Mobile Device Center from the CD that came with my Touch Pro and it's working perfectly!
Same here
I cant sync my HD in windows 7. I emailed Paul Thurott in hopes he may know what to do.
Window Mobile Device install but doesn´t detect Touch Pro
Update 3: removed Office 2007 Ultimate installed Enterprise... installing SP1 now to see if it does any justice to the sync..
Update 2: Sync work for Outlook but not for the calender or appointments.
Update: after rebooting... a third time, it worked. I have yet to test snyc with Outlook but the rest seems to work... will drop a note here as soon as I give it a go.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I decided to give the Vistas Mobile Device a go on Windows 7 but no go. It installed but no sync to Touch Pro (Rafael)
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
windows 7
I was able to flash my rom in widows 7 but still no sync!
My Fuze is syncing fine for me in Windows 7 after installing mobile device center.

Ok I understand windows 7 needs to be tested but you said we know that activesync doesnt work properly, but is xda a windows 7 bug report collector? No. Im sure microsoft is aware that if there are problems with activesync.
When i read the post i figured the guy wants to sync his phone to his PC and the easiest way to not screw anything up is to use a tested working OS?
But yeah youre right, i guess my response was the stupidest ever right?
Windows 7
Is anyone able to get the Touch Pro working with Windows 7? In Device Stage and Windows Mobile Device Center it just won't recognize the phone, says it's unable to get drivers for it.
Anyone got it to work or is it just not Windows 7 compatible yet?
If you're running the 64 bit build, it doesn't come with WMDC. Download it from microsoft's site, install it, and it'll work a treat
No I'm running the 32bit build, but WMDC just won't recognize the phone. If I connect with USB it doesn't recognize it at all and if I connect to it with bluetooth then it wil recognize it as a phone but I can't interact with it because it doesn't know what type of phone it is.
Can't say I have that issue here. Have you filed a bug about it? MS has already responded to several of the bugs I filed yesterday, I wonder if it's a known issue. My fuze works fine in x64 WMDC..
Tried it again after a WMDC reinstall and now it shows, guess it works afterall.
Thanks!
no issues here, yet
The first thing I did after installing Office 2007 on my Win 7 beta was get my phone setup. I'm running 32-bit build, and so far haven't had any issues.
I don't do much software installation via activesync, so haven't tried that, but I am using my computer as a stereo headset, microphone for calls, etc. all through bluetooth.
My phone works in vista sp1 but not 7000 version of win7...oh well, it's a beta ya know
I spent 10 hours configuring it with everything I need for work & I'm going to try it this week. If it bombs, it's just a matter of popping out the HD and popping in my Vista drive. I'm paranoid...got win7 on one HD with all my work stuff, Vista on another drive, and XP on another. Can't afford to be down for a day w/o my lappy.
If I get some time, I'll fool around with the TP/win7 issue on my end.
It connects...I get the connection sound, but that is about it. Also I get the
disconnect tone, but the windows connection program sync thingy won't "see"
the TP.
I have been unable to flash my phone since I upgraded to Windows 7. I've been battling with it for a while now. I've found a post somewhere saying to download the latest Mobile Device Center 6.1 from Microsoft. Even the setup was failing.
Well I finally found the solution:
Run Command Prompt as Administrator and enter this:
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
Now Mobile Device Center should run and all should be well.
nice this was one of the things holding me back from installing my beta, might do it this weekend.
Flashing your phones in Windows 7 SHOULDN'T be a problem. Mobile Device Center works for MOST people. I don't know why my installation boinked... but I couldn't find a solution online anywhere.
Perhaps because I upgraded my copy of Vista to Windows 7 (always better to do a fresh install).
Anyway, you shouldn't have any problems flashing with Windows 7... but I have googled some cases where people were having my exact problems with no solution. I posted it here for the record and web presence.
I duno if you're an official tester or a public one, but if you're official, be sure and file a bug on that.. upgrade scenarios are the current major area of focus for the beta team.. im sure they would appreciate knowing about that one.. and vista users would appreciate it working when they upgrade
I already sent a "bug" report in when it didn't work, thanks to the tip about installing the Vista version of the mobile device software it works perfectly now.
I also sent a bug report about fixing it.

Thought it wasn't possible to upgrade with Win 7 beta from vista?
Yea you can upgrade Vista to Windows 7. I know because I did. It took like 4.5 hours though (thank you xbox).
Da_G... I did submit it.
Also about flashing... I couldn't get Mobile Device Center to install the proper driver to flash at first. The driver came up but was an "unknown device".
With the phone disconnected, I put my Fuze in bootloader mode then connected the USB cable. Only then did the wheels start churnin' and Mobile Device Center install the needed drivers to flash my phone.
But all is well now.
try out build 7022...no WMDC issue now...works great
I have no issues with Windows 7 and my phone at all.
How you guys like windows 7 so far? Im hearing good things about it..

Never been happier with anything microsoft has ever made to be honest.
I had this EXACT same problem, remember Da_G. I posted the resolution here in the forums... in the Raphael forums. Do a search for "Player911 Windows 7"
[Updated] I searched for you... it was the first listing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3215132
I'd like to now if anybody knows if it's possible to use the Activesync or in Vista, the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) over wifi? I'm asking that because my BT is apparently dead and my USB connection is highly unstable it works only when it wants to.
I've already search the forums and all I found is that until ActiveSync 4.0 it was possible but that option had been disable from Microsoft in the following versions.
I was thinking on a 3rd party application or some workaround to solve this problem.
Tks in advance for any response, best regards!
Hi Igoulart,
ActiveSync until version 3.7 (as far as I know) supported Sync over TCP/IP.
I know that this still works - but I don't know if it runs on Vista.
But.. by that time, ActiveSync had many serious problems in establishing sync connection - it was by far not as fail safe as AS' today.
But.. try it out - I read that many ppl. still use it today - just BECAUSE of this feature (TCP/IP).
You'll find it if you google it.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph21x
hi i'm new to this forum and i wish to get some help to get my mobile in good working condition again.

after two days of hard research i got to this forum and discovered an abi film that i used and suddenly my mobile has windows 6.5 instead of windows 6 not that i'm not happy but now the mobile has some flaws. first, the camera when i switch it to recording videos it dosent work the mobile just freeze and i have to resert it every time. gprs dosent switch if i tab on it or use gprs settings and the gps is not working.
i installed an abi file from this forum
i simply used the installation instructions, i have no idea of this stuff, its all new to me but it should be a solution, i know someone here has one or at least i hope
