HD2 Sync - General Questions and Answers

I've d/l 4.5 into my PC but I can't sync into my HD2. OK in my house I can only wi-fi data , I have to go outside to make phone calls on network. When I go to active-sync it sends me to MS like I'm on the PC & it gives me the interpretation to d/l 4.5 into the HD2. What the heck am I missing? Help!
Pls. Someone point me in the right direction,so I can sync my HD2 to my PC ,pls. Thanks ahead of time.

Okay, try uninstalling activsync. Re-download and re-install Activsync (remember for XP only, Vista and Seven get WM Device Center) then go through the setup. Plug in your HD2 via USB it should connect. Then, press the syn button at the top right corner I believe. It's been a while since I've used it since i'm now using Android but I believe it should still be the same!

Sorry for being late (sleep) Thank You that worked. It's been awhile & I thought I thought I overlooked something but it's good to know windows still works the same. If I didn't get this phone for a penny I'd be working with something else. Again Thank You.

Syncing Prolbems Please Helpp!!!

ok so I have a cingular 8125 which i CID unlocked and SIM unlocked. I have the T-mobil 2.26 as a ROM base and was running black dimond 1.0 touch ROM with no syncing prolbems. This past weekend my phone froze and i wasnt able to reset it, so i re flashed my base rom. I then tried to Flash the new dimond 2.0 touch rom and it flashed fine, but when i went to sync it up all it did was say it was syncing. I let it run over night and it was in the same state (saying it was syncing) that i left it in. I tried flashing another custom rom but ended up with the same result. I tried deleting active sync 4.5 and re-installing, and even tried a beta version of 4.5 but nothing has worked. PLease any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
could be outlook...outlook sometimes acts finicky...
recommendation would be to save your pim information...it's usually in some sort of personal folder, and then reinstall outlook. Move your pim information back and resync.
I had this same problem, but i fixed it.
I had this same problem using Diamond 1.1, so i thought it was the rom, but....Then, I used Octavoi, and I had the same problem, so i figured it was Windows Vista's Device Center (replaces ActiveSync), but... Then I found out that it stilled synced fine on my XP laptop (ActivSync 4.5), so.... i woke up one night and suddenly decided to remove my USB hub that my phone was connected through, and then I directly connected my phone to my computer (which actually gives it a direct undivided power source, it seems). After this, it synced in 4 minutes, and i finally got all my contacts back. Could this possibly be your case as well? That's all i can offer.
nope im this isnt my prolbem. and i cant find that folder that you were talking about on out look either. i tried flashing a bunch of diff roms but all it does is say its syncing and then my comp sends nothing? any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Use PIMBackup, it saves and restores that information and more (which you can choose from)... i think it's free, it came with my ROM (Octavaoi 4.5), so u might search for it.
i would uninstall some stuff with your phone unplugged and reboot it then reconnect it and make sure that the usb cord or jack is working
Betcha I had it worse...
I'm a total newb to this stuff. I'm totally blown away by the level you folks are discussing thing at.
I just replaced my Audiovox 6600 with a Cingular 8125 w/WM6. I had to upgrade to Activesync 4.5 and it was going exactly what you describe.
I SPENT OVER 8 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE MICROSOFT "HELP" if you can call it that.
The rapimgr.exe file was getting caught in a loop and hogging all the CPU. The answer was in:
Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC -->: Uncheck the "Enable advanced network funcionality" box
BTW - after the marathon "help" session, I was the one that figured it out.

Ok...props to you. First post and it's to help someone else with a well described solution. I hope this solves the person's problem and I'll have to remember to suggest this to folks having activesync issues... so much for "advanced network functionality" huh?
thanks alot... tried to fix this for 2 days. big props to you..

TyTN II does not sync anymore.

When I plug my TyTN II to my laptop or pc, The active sync icon starts to lookup, but after 1/2 minits i get screen that it was failed to connect. I have this problem since trying WM5Storage. Does someone know how to fix it?? Cause I want to upgrade to dutty's newest rom.
Ps. It does sync with my exchange server but not local with a pc or laptop.
You should check if WM5 Storage is activate (left soft key in the program screen), if yes you should deactivate before connecting with ActiveSync.
I don't know if you have to restart the device, probably yes...
Ciao.
Ensure that usb advance connection tab is unchecked in connection settings,
also you can sync when using wm5torage so you have to disable probably have to restart both computer and device.
If it doesnt work un-install mobile device centre and re-install again, ensure you back up your pims first.
See if it works.
It seems wm5torage mess something up in your connections
let me know if those works
Dear Sir
This is the fastest rom I have ever had in Kasier, whilst the Xt9 did not work but I have deleted it. I noted no issues from the functions I used to use.
Good work!!

I too am having problems sync'ing my Tilt. When I go to uncheck the "advanced network functionalilty" in USB to PC, I get "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial"
Please help!
I found an answer after googling "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial", where someone mentions a bluetooth COM entry they found and deleted that solved it.
So, I look, find a COM entry from when I was playing with my (old) bluetooth GPS, deleted it, and now I'm able to uncheck the setting.
Now to see if I can finially sync with my PC...

I am also having trouble with Vista...But I am able to have my Tilt Sync on Windows XP. I think I might have an issue just with Vista but it appears that yours may be phone related. Have you tried a hardreset on your device?

Did you find a fix yet?
Nope, I realy don't want to do a hard reset, but might friggin have to.
I was hoping to find another soloution.
I will say this, last time I was able to sync anything, it was my 8525 before I flashed a WM6 ROM, but I know it's not a WM6 - XP compatability issue, others here have no problems. I know Vista has issues, so I'm not even worried about that right now. My Tilt still has the factory ROM, and still others have the same setup with no problems. I can't tell you how mad I'll be if I do a hard reset and it still doesn't work!
Would be nice to be able to copy the pim.vol to/from the memory card and have Outlook be able to import the databases from it.
im having same issue with wm6 ever since flash but wing and mda still sync running wm5 think its some sort of hardware issue havent been able to find anything on it though if you figure it out please post..... by the way i tried hard reset didnt work

Unable to sync using USB...
When I sync using Bluetooth, all is fine & dandy. BUT. When I plug my Tytn II (MDA Vario III) into my USB port, it starts installing a new "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" (I run Vista, with Vista SP1, BTW). This fails, with a message "The required registry key is missing"? I have tried removing any trace of Windows Mobile Device Center, reinstalling that, installed the MS driver update, no joy. Obviously,Vista being a Microsoft OS, it doesn't tell me WHAT THAT bloody registry key is/is suposed to be!!! Help?

Fuze & ActiveSync 4.5

I just bought an AT&T Fuze today. I'm ready to take it back to the AT&T store, throw it at them, and buy a Tilt. I've used an 8525 for the last two years, and it works well. However, the Fuze looked like a great improvement. . .until I tried to sync. Here's my system:
XP Professional
Fuze
Lotus Notes email client
Small consulting shop: two workstations, one server
I'm just trying to get AS 4.5 working so I can load some third-party software (Commontime's mNotes5), sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc., and be done. The first time I tethered the Fuze to my workstation, ActiveSync kicked right up and ran Connecting for > 30 minutes before I gave up, turned it off, downloaded ActiveSync again from the Macroshaft website, and reinstalled it (because I thought the version I had might be out of date - it wasn't - it was EXACTLY the same Build [5096] as what I had before).
Well now, my workstation thinks the Fuze is a USB Storage Device, responds accordingly, and NEVER launches ActiveSync. When I launch it, it just sits there showing Not Connected.
Folks, I'm no technogenius. I'm just a self-employed financial guy trying to get a piece of new equipment to work. I have no idea why this thing isn't working, but I'm about at my wits' end.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Again, I'm no tech guy, so please assume I know nothing (you'd be right) and try to lead me accordingly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Go to Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC.
What's selected there? If you want the option between ActiveSync and Mass Storage every time you connect, check the box on the bottom. Otherwise, make sure ActiveSync is selected. Also, try turning off Advanced Network Functionality if you are having problems with it turned on.
I'm assuming the Fuze is set up the same way in this area as the Sprint Touch Pro, I apologize if it isn't. When I had my Mogul, it would never connect through ActiveSync for me if I had the advanced network functionality turned on.
Banzaiwolfe, all I can say is thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, a million times over. You're an absolute genius. I did exactly as you suggested, and my Fuze is now synching my Notes emails, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. I can't thank you enough. But I will definitely make a donation to this Forum immediately, and if there's a place where I can mention you, you can be sure that I will.
I'm so grateful. So grateful. Thanks a million.

Grrr...Activesync doesn't work on my new Fuze!

I got my fuze last night and for the life of me I couldn't get it to connect to my Vista PC, even though my wizard connects fine. I figured "eh, freaking Vista" and brought it to work with me so I could try it on my XP box, which also always worked with my Wizard...and no dice. WTF?! I went into the connection properties and disabled the advanced connection but still no love. Hard resets, soft resets...nothing helps!
Any ideas?
I had to install that included Mobile Sync center cd that come in the box to get my Vista laptop to sync. Just my guess.
Jeff
Yeah I tried that as well, but no love. I'm going to rebuild my PC tonight with a new Mobo & CPU anyway, so perhaps it'll be better under a fresh install.
On another note, I *hate* the built in IM client. Of all the IM softwares they could have included, this one sucks the most!
Worked on my Vista laptop, but, LOL, not on my home XP box.
I get the "device cannot connect code 10" garbage. No biggie...ever since
I installed a new Nvidia video card driver, I've been fighting the BSOD problem.
IF, I start Firefox3 FIRST, before I open any other app, computer runs fine,
but if I start, say my tv tuner, then firefox BOOM! BSOD!
Oh well...been over a year since I did a wipe/install anyway. Something to do when it is rainy on a weekend.

Windows 7

Hi
anyone installed windows 7 and synced their phone as i was thinking of doing so but need to have the sync avaliable, so question is does it work and whats it like?
cheers
I'm using Windows 7 on my desktop sand sync works fine.
what program are you using to sync? active sync? wmdc? I just loaded Windows 7 and it doesn't seem to sync.

WMDC keeps returning an error
I installed W7 last night, and WMDC is really the only thing that I haven't got working yet. Each time I plug in my Tilt, I get the spinning circle, and then a message the WMDC has stopped working. I've rebooted twice. I'm going to do some more checking after work, but I was dissappointed when it didn't work. Beta is beta, I guess. I sent the reports.
maybe it depends on the built
i'm using 7000 and it works great.

Turn your computer on with your device already connected. When I didn't do that, sometimes my computer gave that message you mentioned or my laptop froze all together.
Uninsatalled WMDC, and then reinstalled
Now it's good to go. I hope WMDC is more reliable under 7 than it was under Vista. It only recognized my phone about half of the time.
Just remove WMDC6.1 and reinstall it.
Windows 7 is MUCH better than Vista. there isn't even a basis for comparison.
i thought that 7 was using device stage to handle all of the stuff for peripheral syncing?? or is WMDC still going to be the only way?
Windows update
Manually run Windows Update when the phone is connected via a USB Cable.
Might work, it did for me under Vista, the only thing that got WMDC 6.1 working properly, even over BT.
Cheers

Hi I am setting up Windows 7, can someone please confirm that you still need WMDC 6.1 and not the 'add device / printer'?
Many thanks, Windows 7 is rocking at the moment!

It's worked for me with a Wizard + Elf(in) (Touch and O2XDA Mini S)
I have a G1 now and it's only ever worked on an older build of 7. Microsoft must hate it being linux and all
I can get it to work with my Diamond without any problems at all.
But, it will not connect to my Sammy i200, I have narrowed it down to not showing as a WM device in Device Manager as far, all deleting Temp files, checking Outlook etc. still trying...
I had to un-install and re-instal WMDC (I downloaded again from MS).
I also had problems running RUU on W7 but updating the driver (to the older one!) fixed that.
W7 does seem better than Vista in just about every way - and it's a Beta!
Love it
Its now driving me mad. Why after all these years is WMDC such a pile of crap?
It won't recognise either i200 or the Diamond now. Drivers seem OK, but I get 'Error'. Unistalled again, installed again, now it hangs on 'Please wait while WMDC starts'.
Plug devices in my PC with Vista, both phones start straight away!
On windows 7, when I plug in My mobiler fires up no probs, Tomtom Homes fires up, recognises and updates no probs. Try to sync with microsoft useless!
Edit:OMG, how simple was that!
Unticked 'Enable advanced Network' in Connections USB to PC, and voila job done, sync both phones no problem at all!
happy chappy.....
