I've searched this forum and haven't found anything that answers this question, so I'll ask it.
I've recently reset my HTC TP2. It had some software on it that I had tried to load that wouldn't work but which I couldn't remove so I went back to factory settings and reloaded the stuff I did want. I also loaded Schap's 'Advanced Config' available on this site, but have only tweaked a few of the settings.
I am also not using HTC Sense or the WM6.5 default skins in favor of the older style of WM interface, the one that looks more like 5.0, that I am used to.
My problem is, now that I've done these things, my phone will continues to sync just fine, but it will no longer charge while it is hooked up to an aftermarket USB docking station or cable. It will charge when connected directly to it's power cable.
It used to power and sync off the same docking station just fine, even after I'd reset to factory settings, but something changed after I did two things; I went into Advanced Config and changed the "User Interface" setting of 'Use long delay for gestures:' from No to Yes and I plugged the phone into my aftermarket car charger.
I've changed the setting in Advanced Config back, but I'm still not charging while syncing. The car charger was the one I used for my Mogul (VX6800), so it's not strictly designed for this phone, but it's worked in the past and not caused me trouble before this.
Does this sound like the phone is broken or is there some tweak I may have made while playing around in Advanced Config that caused it to no longer charge while syncing? I'd appreciate your advice.

I don't know if you have already tried this but under settings/system/battery there's an option to disable charging through usb while the phone is on, if it is enable then just uncheck it and it'll be fine, if that's not the problem then I'd try a hard reset or another rom just to make sure the problem isn't config/software related. good luck
LOL!!!
You, sir, are a genius...
Yep, that was exactly it! I was fiddling around with lots of settings and I must have accidentally clicked on that check box. Thank you SO much for thinking of this! I was at a complete loss.

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..
For no apparent reason, Activesync (4.5 5096) of Outlook on my TC (standard ROM see below) has stopped working. Outlook email/contacts/diary not getting synced.
After plugging USB in a message says 'Sync cannot be connected succesfully...try again... and run troubleshooting..'. But Activesync/Help/Troubleshooting/Reporting says there is nothing wrong! Indeed, I can still explore TC and card, sync other software (e.g. Media Player, TomTom Home, eWallet etc).
But I can't get in to the ActiveSync/Options menu to check out the relationship. Have soft reset TC, turned off PC firewalls etc, but nothing helps. Little puzzled because it all worked fine for the past 2 months and I wasn't even playing around when it decided not to work!
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
CI

had the same problem some time ago. changed the cable and everything was fine.you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling activesync.
Jackster
Thanks. Cable was OK, but uninstall/reinstall of activesync worked. indeed speeded up activesync and fixed a lot of other minor secondary problems while it was at it would recommend it for all every now and then. strikes me that activesync is one of the those bolt-on bits of MS obeseware that needs regular maintenance?
USB Device not recognized
To mark the anniversary of me posting my original message, all of a suddden and for no apparent reason, Activesync has stopped working again. Bizarre
This time its a little different, I don't get anything except a pop message on PC saying 'USB device not recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance click on this message'. Which of course I di and it didn't help!
So, I've tried
- un-installing/re-installing Activesync 4.5
- rebooting PC and TC umpteen times
- changed USB port/cable
- tick/untick Settings/Connections/USB-to-PC/Enable Advanced network functionality
- putting the kettle on
Nothing is working (Although the cup of tea was nice
Would really appreciate some help please
Thanks

Help! Really desperate on this one. I have been trying to think why this should suddenly happen. Two things possible:
- During my last succesful sync I received and answered a call. Would this damage registers or something?
- I accidently pulled the mini-USB headphone cable a bit while listening toi music. But the sound is still perfectly OK, and I receive power charge via USB even though it won't connect/sync. And like I said, I've swapped cables/ports.
I've Googled this a lot and most people fix by fiddling with stuff I have already done and praying!
Please. Anyone got any ideas before I too start praying!
Thanks
1. No, it should not. Never heard it did.
2. AFAIK, not reason as long as it charges trough USB port.
Try to delete device from Active Sync while device is not connected. You might need to restart PC.
You'll have to set options again when device is recognised.
This is what I have to do often.
Also, check device name on device itself, it tends to change from time to time for no apparent reason (at least to me). If it changes, it causes following problems to me:
1. Active Sync troubles
2. BT connection to car audio stops working.
Hope some of this will help...
BTW... you have WM 6.0 on it? If so, don't upgrade to WM 6.1... IMHO, WM 6.0 is faster than 6.1 and has less problems with Active Sync...
Bodisson,
Thanks for suggestions. Alas, none work
It looks like I am going to have to hard reset and/or burn new ROM. For those of us who don't do this regularly, this can be a nerve racking experience. However, I was perhaps sweating too much about it for a couple of reasons:
- it seems very few people have anything good to say about WM6.1. Until now I have been pretty happy with WM6.0 and have had 14 months of virtually trouble-free use, so maybe I'll just stick with that. I'm not a power-user, so the vast array of cooked ROMs is rather bewildering. Unless one is rock solid and aimed at non-power end-users?
- I thought installing a new ROM without Activesync was impossible, but I see someone has worked a way to do it via the SDHC card. Well done XDA
So, unless anyone has some further ideas I will just hard reset to WM6.0 and hope for the best. I have this terrible feeling though that my mini-USB port is damaged and I'll get the same bubble of doom even after hard reset.
Thanks
Either do a hard reset back to factory (and hope you can re sync all your stuff with the PC),
OR
Re flash the rom to C Shekar's "b" rom. It really is very good, and transforms the phone. In fact, it is so good that I have finally stopped fiddling with my phone! (and I'm a born fiddler!)
It is very good, and works immediately, but you might need to spend time tweaking it - the must is to install the correct radio.
I've done quite a lot of rom upgrading, so am quite comfortable now with the process. If you want to do it and need a hand, let me know.
Have you tried to verify your firewall? Last time I had some Sync problems was just after updating my firewall that changed settings to default, blocking the Polaris-PC communication.
Have tried disabling all firewalls with no luck.
I've hit a brick wall on this one, but am fearful it will be hard to get device back to working order again if I do hard-reset and still can't sync
Suggestions very welcome
Thanks

OK, I feel for you on this one!
If you don't want to flash to a new rom (or, re flash to your old one), there is a solution but it involves removing and renaming your Outlook.pst file ... the procedure (which is on this site somewhere) seemed fraught with danger, to me, so i preferred to re flash when i had a similar problem.
Before re flashing, if you decide to, you backup your data using PIMBackup - only your contacts and maybe phone call list, not anything specific to the phone's operating system or software.
Re flash, then restore the data.
Then, Active Sync will see the phone as a completely new system.
Hi guys!
Was poking around online, and found this page: http://www.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/blog/part-1-guide-to-windows-mobile.aspx . It lists a few great programs (many of which have been developed by you folx here at xda). There are two phenomenal ones that work quite well on my TP2.
The first is the SD card tuneup. I don't know why, but it seems to make my WHOLE PHONE go faster. I love it.
The second is the advanced configuration utility. A great way to access tons of settings to better tweak your phone.
Hope it helps you guys as much as it does me.
Warning for verizon users
Be very careful here and learn from my mistake. I did the reg edit from the linked page for increasing the threaded sms space. I copied the file over to my PC, made the edit, pasted back and reset. When I went into text messages and clicked "all messages" it wouldn't open. I hit reply and it wouldn't open. They only way I could send a text was either from favorites or contacts. I still had the original file so I pasted it back reset but but still f'ed up. I finally had to hard reset to fix it.
Another Warning
I would recommend not using the Advanced Configuration program on CDMA phones. Apparently some settings are just different enough to cause weird problems, one of which is being unable to answer an incoming call. (had that happen on my mogul), still see threads warning about using it on CDMA TP2, so be ready to hard reset if you do decide to try it out.
Advanced Config Tool on Sprint TP2
Thank you last poster on the issue with CDMA and Advanced Configuration Utility. I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why I'm having so much trouble answering the phone. Sometimes I can answer, sometimes not. I've also noticed a few other strange behaviors like not getting the pop up "snooze" message I used to get when using the phones built in alarm.
Looks like my only way of not only removing the ACU but also fixing these problems is a hard reset? That seriously sucks, but at least I have a potential for getting these functions working again.

Hi Guys,
I have a very unique problem. Couple of days back while charging my phone near a lot of dew waters was found in my TP. It happened due to heater being on and the windows getting a lot condensed dew and hence water was found in my TP.
Even though i have used a hair dry to it an the phone seems to be working now, there seems a problem with the htc usb jack. Whenever i plug in the cable my phone works normally however once the cable is removed it goes into tv out mode and making my phone speaker to be not working. I have tried disabling the tv out settings in the registry however still whenever i remove the cable it shows me that tv out settings.
Could someone please inform me how to remove the tv out settings completely from the phone including control panel as i never it use it so that my phone can start working again. I dont have this problem when using the Eclair android however the battery life there is not good at the moment.
TIA.
self bump hope some one can help me.
HELP!!!
i have this problem as well. TV-out is taking over my phone. it rotates and and doesnt go back unless i reset. if anyone can help us out ill be happy to donate!!!
I also have this problem from a faulty USB cable. (grounded I think)
If someone can help to remove TV/Video Out it would be awesome.
Try this in your registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TVOUT]
"Flags"=dword:4
To remove the icon you need to find out which mycpl entry it uses.
Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl] and look at each number till you find the one that points to tvoutsetting.exe (it is 15 on my phone). Once you find it, go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\xx] (where xx is the number) and set "Hide"=dword:1
Can anyone help me remove TV Out and Video Out completely? ):
Wondering if someone might be able to help me out. When i switch ROMs i loose the ability to choose the connection type i want when i plug into a USB (ie. charge, disc, sync, etc.). My phone starts charging right away, but i don't have the option to choose.
USB debugging is checked, Ask Me in Connect to PC is checked but i don't see the option to choose anywhere and it doesn't pop up when i connect via USB.
Strange thing is, when i revert to a Coredroid back-up, the option is there, but when i flash any other ROM that option is no longer there.
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Non-sense (hehe) roms will not give you those options (ie cm7,miui) Coredroid, android revolution etc are sense based and give you those extra abilities. The reason for this is it calls out the HTC drivers on both the phone and the pc. non-sense roms wont be able to.
Thanks for the quick reply Darunion. The new ROM i flashed is Bindroid (a sense ROM), so it should recognize, shouldn't it?
So it doesnt show up in your notifications when you pull the menu down that its "usb charging" if it does you should be able to click that to force the menu choices up. Ive been away from sense for a while so im a bit rusty :/

No notifications are there...at least no "charging" notification allowing me to choose. And nothing pops up when i connect via usb.
while its plugged in have you tried toggling usb debugging off and then back on again. sometimes this will fix the issue.
Yep...i have. Even gone so far as removing all HTC from my PC & reloaded. Still nothing. Strange thing is that this has happened when trying to flash (2) different Sense ROMs. BUT...if i restore the CD Rom...it's there again.
were the other roms you loaded all running sense 3.0 or 3.5? Ive seen some issues with 3.5 and usb cords and connection options not appearing. Just trying to find the common denominator in this.
Sense 3.5. Yeah, i've read some of those too in my "google search". People using non-inspire usb cords, etc. I'm using the inspire usb.
ive never actually used sense 3.5 so i have no idea where to start on that. sorry i wasnt able to help. hope someone has some helpful info
Think i may have figured it out...at least it's got to be a couple things. Download a latest "WIPE tool"...and tried w/o restoring anything and it connects.
So...it's either using the latest Wipe Tool...or something in my restore settings thats causing the issue. At least i know that it's working.
Thanks for your assistance anyway Darunion! Merry Xmas!

Word to the wise. Don't restore any system settings. Never a good idea. After flashing change all your custom settings one by one. Don't use anything to restore them

I had the same issue, and it was in the rom. I have used every rom out here, and some have the options and some dont.
