Activesync won't recognize Raphael,...

hello everyone,
I cannot get Activesync to recognize my htc touch pro no matter what i do,... i've uninstalled and reinstalled shut everything off then on, followed all of MS's advice, and nothing works,...
Any suggestions,...? No problems connecting my tytn II and my hermes,...
thanks,

Are you running any firewall software? If so, this is relevant to you.

start>>settings>>connections>>usbtopc>> un check the "enable advanced network functionality"

sorry attnoob, was trying for your quick fix, but it didn't work,... thanks anyway,... now will go to the firewall issues noted above, but i already opened the ports as per ms's recommendations in help,...
will try other suggestions and get back to you,...

ok, so allenh, read all the info at the link you sent me, and actually did all these things yesterday, but it didn't work,... also, something strange happens when i hook the device to the PC in that, the device immediately goes to the 'internet sharing' program you use when tethering, it establishes a connection with the internet, and there is a comments saying 'check usb cable connection' and this never happened with the tytn II,...
your help is appreciated,...

Check the USB cable
It seems the USB cable the Tilt uses and the one the Raphael/Fuze use are different, If i use the cable that i usued with my tilt the computer would not recognize the Fuze it will charge it though, only if i use the usb cable that came with the Fuze it works fine.

Are you using the stock ROM or a cooked ROM. Some of the new cooked ROMS are having this problem.

Also, are you using Vista or XP. The problems seem to be with XP.

my fuze seems to also be having this issue... i can hear my laptop do the little noise saying something is attached but my phone never pops up with the screen anymore asking what i would like to do. sometimes i get lucky and it will randomly connect to active sync but would not give me any warning whether it was going to work or not.

btw, it didnt start doing this until i flashed NATF's v2.1 and also loaded a custom theme and toolbars and such.... it worked after i loaded NATF's rom, just randomly stopped at some point after that.

if you are putting on a new rom then put the phone in bootloader mode it worked for me

My Fuze is doing this too, excep every single time. I can't get Activesync to work through USB. And I'm running the stock ROM. Internet Sharing automatically connects.

Okay, I set Internet Sharing to Bluetooth PAN (instead of USB), which kept it from automatically starting when I plugged in the USB. This let ActiveSync and the 'choose a connection type' startup on my Fuze and everything has been fine.

Try your PC Network settings
Hi,
I have the same problem recently. My AS does not want to recognize my Raphael. What I did was go to the network setting of the PC (Network Connections) and disable the 1394 adapter. Then my AS now can recognize my Raphael. The next unsolved thing is how to make the connection stable enough to make happen the syncing.

Hi, I had similar problem. Once upon a time the connection between my Touch Pro (WM6.5.3) and PC stopped working. Activesync did nothing and after a minute gave error message with troubleshoot guide. So I opened control panel ---> device manager (with mobile connected via USB), where I found "Windows mobile based device" between network adapters. I opened it and under it's advanced settings I found "network address" which was set to "unavailable". So I changed it to 192.168.2.2 and now it works again ;-)
Hope it helps someone ;-)

Blackjack 2 hung during upgrade

I was recently upgrading my Blackjack 2 to WM 6.1 and a power interruption occurred soon after the process begun. Now I cant get the phone to restart the process. It just goes into a count down from 4 and always disconnects after the countdown finishes. This is the what I get now at the end of the countdown while I in Bootloader mode.
USB Initial: OK
PC Connection: Fail
[Phone] Active OFF
[PDA] USB Cable Power OFF
I am using a windows Vista computer. Can anyone tell me how to get the upgrade process restarted or how to get the phone back to wm6. I already formatted the phone's hard drive after the failure during the upgrade process.

Thank You The fix worked.
Do you have any idea how to keep the internet connection between my Blackjack 2 and vista pc active. I get the my vista pc to use the blackjack 2 as a modem via the usb cable for about about an hour then it disconnects and I have hell trying to get the connection re-established.
I dont have this problem with bluetooth which is much slower than the usb cable connection

Run Internet Explorer --> Menu --> Tools --> Options --> Connection --> check Automatically detect setting. Done.

problem still exist
no the problem still exist. It has something to do with NDIS or DHCP lease obtain and lease expire. The usb ICS works fine when I connect before the lease expires. After the lease expires the physical and IP addresses do not immediately renew as is the case with bluetooth. This causes me to not be able to use the Blackjack ICS via the usb cable for some time. Then it renews after several computer and phone restarts. I dont know if the problem is with Activesync. But my bluetooth does not use Activesync and it has its own software which is stable. I am always able to use ICS via bluetooth but not the usb which uses Activesync. Are there any tweaks or connection managers for ICS via USB?
Mark

Thank you SO MUCH
nhathoa, I would just like to thank you for the link you provided. I was stuck for about two hours trying to figure this out, and Samsung was telling me that I had to send my phone in, and seeing as how it's the only phone I have, I would have been without one for a while.
But the link you gave fixed the problem perfectly. I can't thank you enough.

I just have to say a million thanks to NhatHoa!
had the same concern as described above. As BlackJack2 is not an European model, my local Samsung workshop couldn´t help me. Also other unofficial workshops couldn´t do it. And I´ve found these instructions here and I thought, what the heck! There´s nothinh to lose anymore. And my BJ works now! Followed exactly the instructions and it took like some 15 minutes to complete the whole process.

Hate to bump old threads
I hate to bump a old thread but I just had the same problem with my blackjack 2, While updating to 6.1 it somehow just quit and left the phone bricked. I can put the phone in usb downloader mode but when I connect it to my computer it does nothing.
Can someone please send me the file that was posted on a earlier post? I tried to download it and it was gone.
I dont have any warranty left and would really like to get my phone working again
Thanks

Exactly how to use ICS (WM6.1) with a laptop?

So I thought this would be easy. I _finally_ got my XV6800 flashed and up and running with a DCD ROM.
My main reason was to use ICS with any laptop in an easy fashion the way it was intended to be used.
So I'm all excited, get my USB cable, plug it into the laptop and I'm not sure what is supposed to exactly happen.
On my phone I have:
PC Connection: USB
Network Connection: Data Connection (my only and active data network connection)
When I connect it and click on 'Connect' it says 'Check USB cable connection'. I should also mentioned though that before I do any of this, when I connect the phone to the laptop it doesn't quite recognize the device yet (this is an XP laptop) and launches the new hardware wizard for Generic RNDIS.
So do I first have to pair the two somehow? I read somewhere that essentially the laptop will use the phone as another network card of sorts. If that is the case, do I need to set all that up on the laptop first?
I tried Googling ICS how-to or ICS guide or ICS (insert-keyword-here) and amazingly, I can't find a simple guide on how this works.
Any help would be appreciated! (I searched threads here and can't find anything either)

Well, here is what I figured out so far. You HAVE to have MS Activesync on the target laptop it seems from all I could find, so the downside to this approach vs. some other methods is you can't connect it to any laptop at random unless they have AS installed.
The wierd part is it still doesn't fully work.
I noticed that when I connect now, it works and says 'Connected' and also observe the following:
1) Under my Network Apapters of device manager, my adapter changes from Windows Mobile-based Device to Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device
2) I see the little PC traffic/connection icon in the system tray just like I would expect it
But when I refresh my browser, there is still no activity :/
The Status tab says:
Status: Acquiring network address...and then changed to...Connected
Speed: 10.0 Mbps
Packets sent goes up about 1 every 2-4 seconds but received only stays very low usually, about 5-9...
Note: I made sure a data connection was first established on my phone before I turned on ICS

Unable to get tethering or internet sharing working on VZW TP2

It's easier if I just post a link to the thread over at smartappsworld so I'm not stuck re-writing it all. http://smartappsworld.com/thread-t...-getting-error-692-hardware-failure-in-modem
I still have not been able to resolve these issues. Tethering worked without problems on my Q9M, but on the TP2 it gives me error 692 -There was a hardware failure in the modem - . Internet sharing isnt cooperating either. New hardware wizard in XP pops up for Generic RNDIS device. When I tried to feed it some drivers for Internet Sharing (pulled by another xda member in another thread here somewhere), XP gives me some bogus error about a missing entry in one of the .inf files that I pointed it towards. It doesnt specify which file, then it closes and there is a big yellow ( ! ) over Internet Sharing device in network devices (Driver not installed).
Thats a quick run through of the issues I'm dealing with. I really need this working as this is my only way to connect my PC to the internet. I live in boonie land where cable is nowhere in my neighborhood and dsl is too far to connect.
Yes I searched. I spent a great deal of time going through xda forums and Google... before I decided to post here. Thanks for anyones help in advance.
T.C.

I have not had a problem tethering my tp2 with verizon using Win XP Pro x64, or XP home x86.
The way that works for me is:
Run the internet sharing program, Not the VZW access manager crap.
Tell it to connect
After it connects, then plug in usb from pc to phone
The pc recognizes it as another network connection
It gets its IPs and all no problems.
Open up your choice of browser and off you go.
I have never had to install drivers to do any of this, and also it doesnt use active sync when doing it this way.
hope this helps.

I pulled the internet sharing program out of the Windows folder (made a shortcut ). The problem is when I connect to the PC. The install new hardware wizard comes up for Generic RNDIS device. This is after I clicked "Connect" in IS. I have clicked cancel , then it says install failed, your new hardware may not work properly. IS disconnects and Activesync starts syncing. I tried it the first way , letting AS sync once then turning IS on, same problem.
I dont use VZ Access Manager. I was forced to uninstall that and Activesync when suddenly the PC wouldnt recognize anything while the phone was plugged in. After that, the phones internet wouldn't work either so I then had to restore the phone to factory defaults via a hard reset. After resetting, I found that 228 wouldn't program the phone. The next day I nearly took it in to VZW. tried 228 again and it worked finally. Got my phone internet back and I'm back to trying to get IS working. I didn't install VZAM, but I do have the USB driver installed.
Are there certain files that are needed on XP for this? I am still running 32bit XP Pro if that makes any difference. Service packs maybe? I'm up to the point where I'm about to go out and buy a WiFi card and try connecting it that way. Something Has to work here.

The generic RNDIS ( Remote Network Driver Interface Specification ) drivers are part of the ActiveSync install and are needed for TCP/IP between the PC and the phone.
Install ActiveSync.
Plug in the phone.
Don't cancel the New Hardware Found - let it install the drivers.
Set up a sync relationship with the PC if you like - not needed.
When you tell ICS to connect, it should drop any other connection to the PC (Hard Drive, Active Sync) and make the Windows connect sound. Then you should see the network negotiation icon in the System Tray as it sets up the internet sharing.

When I dont cancel New Hardware wizard, it doesn't find any drivers to install. This is if I let it search for drivers automatically, and after Activesync is installed. See what the problem is here? What should normally work, doesn't. Are there key files missing in the copy of Activesync that is included on the CD from VZW? What am I missing here? When I turn Internet sharing on, on the phone, it always says something like ''Check USB cable connection'' and it never changes. The hardware wizard never finds the drivers, and when I try to point it towards driver files, it says theres an entry missing and wont install.
Grr..if you read through the other thread link above, you know how long i have been trying to get it to work. Frustrating!!

I myself use WalkingHotSpots http://www.walkinghotspot.com/. It is 24.99 for a lifetime license and currently they allow you to use the license over and over when you upgrade your phone. I used it first when I had the Touch Pro and now I am using it with my TP2. It is a program that allows me to add up to 5 connections and use my TP2 as a Hotspot. Now of course it would requre you to have your TP2 connected and charging via wall outlet. But basically it will allow me to connect 3G using my WiFi. I just used it Tuesday night while at church to connect back to my business server and resolve some databases issues. My laptop was running at an excellent speed and I was online over 2 hours with no drop connections. The walking hotspot website says that it will not work with Verizon but I can personally say that it does. I do not have the Internet connection software installed on my TP2 so I am going all WiFi for my connection. I added a password and name for my Walking HotSpot so no random joe could just drive by and conect lol and I was up and running in about 10 minutes. They don't offer a free tiral but you can try it for 1 month for 6.99 and if it doesn't work you will not have wasted 25.00. Just choose to use it for a Touch Pro and you should be able to get the download. I have had it over a year now and it has come in very handy especially when I go home to visit Mom as she has no internet and walking hot spots runs my husband's laptop and mine without any issues. So whatever you ultimately do I hope you get it worked out

WMWifiRouter
I use WMWifiRouter on my phone for internet sharing. It works great. This may be an alternative for you.
http://www.wmwifirouter.com/
(the site appears to be down at the moment)

I just loaded a program called PdaNet and was really amazed at how easy it was to install. Hooked up on Verizon @ 2.4mbps - actually faster than my DSL!!!
I've only tried it a couple times but I recommend going to here http://www.junefabrics.com/pdanet/index.php and download a trial version.

WMWiFiRouter
I second the vote for WMWiFiRouter. I used it on my Mogul and now on my TP2 (both with Sprint) -- no issues whatsoever -- more importantly, no tethering fees.

For me now, when i use USB or Bluetooth over ICS, my browser has to go to 3g.vzwdun.com. It didn't use to do that before. How can I keep the device from reporting that I'm tethering...

Pdanet ver.5 issues

Let me 1st of apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this. I seldom do this.
I'm a paid user of pdanet tool & really haven't had any problems using ver.4 but when it updated to the latest ver.5.10.3 I have been having nothing but problems staying connected. At present I'm using via Bluetooth which was disconnecting too but seems ok at this time. I have always used either USB tethering or more recently WI-fi direct. My reason for switching to WI-fi direct is because my new phone, a asus zenfone zoom(zx551ml) instructions say not to charge with anything other than the charger-USB cable that came with it & when connecting in the past with my other phone the usb debug screen would list "use as USB charging only" so I'm a little concerned what might happen if I plug it in to the laptop.
Having said all that I find when I connect via WI-fi direct if it disconnects for any reason(which it does often) the phone WiFi connection fails & I also get a message on the PC saying "the network is busy try again later". I have reinstalled the software on the PC-forced closed it on the phone-nothing seems to work unless I restart the pc & phone. I'm not sure where to go or what to do.....any & all suggestions are GREATLY APPRECIATED.
