Seems like you are lazy more than you've expected. You don't even read forum title - it's WP7, not WM forum
I'm not even sure what app or what OS you're referring to - do you mean ToucnXpereince on WP7? That's *supposed* to open automatically when you start WPDM on the PC.
Windows Mobile Device Center is a "big" Windows (desktop/laptop) app, not a phone app... are you saying you want it to launch on the PC when you connect your phone?
Sorry guys, I haven't been clear enough I meant the Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER look at this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521763
It's an app that has to be launched on a fully unlocked phone every time you connect it to the computer. In this way your device can be explored as a sort of plug&play usb mass storage. You can directly copy on it doc files, or anything else you want. Even xap files on my HD7 with deepshining, if I install a File Browser too, I'm able to install XAPs directly from my phone without any other software installed on my pc or on my phone. I think it's a great thing, even for doc files because before of this program the only method to transfer them from PC to the phone ad vice versa was to send'em to myself via mail, or use skydrive. Not much convenient for me. This new method simplyfied my life
So my question was: can this XAP be directly integrated in Windows Phone 7 so when I connect my device to the computer I don't have to open every time this app on my phone?
Now *that* is actually an interesting question. It's certainly possible to have a PC app start a phone app; that's how WPDM launches TouchXperience or Visual Studio launches a debug app. To launch fully automaticlaly, though... that would probably require that the app either have some background service (possible on a fully-unlocked ROM) that monitors for a PC connection, or that the app be registered in some way as "do this when you connect" although I'm not sure how I'd go about the latter.
Yeah, now it's much clear and as GoodDayToDie said is much more interesting I'm already thought about implementation (but I need to run WPConnect.exe automatically, not a Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER). I'll try to find time for the development of this app (this one - finding time - is really hard ), so stay tuned!
Here we are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24820620
Hey, gigsaw, did you tried WP7 auto launcher? I don't have full unlock so I can't test with WMDC Launcher.
So sorry if it seems that I disappeared but someone stole my HD7 some days ago D: D: D: D: I'm so sad........I was very interested in windows phone 7, I thought it could be the best mobile OS with a bit of developing..but now I can't do anything more. So sorry guys ='(

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.

i am very very new to Android development, i was wondering if it is possible to create an application (ill be using a HTC Hero running 2.1) that when connected to a windows PC via cable i could press a button within the app that starts a windows application located on the phones memory card(e.g. netstat.exe), that will gather information about the windows computer and store it on the phone?
cheers for any help,
L.
i suppose u will need software on that pc that will wait for your hero to connect and send those informations. otherwise, the app must be apple to start applications on the windows pc, what shouldnt be possible.

Hi while you might be familiar with iTunes, the Zune software is intuitive and user friendly once you understand the ins and out of using the software. You'll soon come to realize, it is more visually and logically easier than itunes.
Step 1. Uninstall iTunes
Step 2. If you want zune to run as fast as possible with little graphical animations go into settings, display and slide the slider to the lowest setting then restart zune.
Step 3. Visit the Zune learning center: http://www.zune.net/en-us/products/learningcenter/default.htm
Lots of tips, tutorials and info on how to use your phone with zune.
Hope this helps.
To answer your question: No, there is no available way to sync a windows phone with iTunes unless you own a mac, then you can use the mac connector to interface with itunes.
Hi,
as a complete noob with smartphones in general and WP specifically. Nevertheless I somehow managed to install HSPL and then the HD2O Dynamics Custom ROM on my HTC Radar.
I configurated my device after installation and it works smoothly. However, all I did so far is connecting my Windows Live Account. It receives E-Mails when I am on the way and via Wifi connection when at home. This is great...
Now I want to do the next necessary steps in "usability". I guess that would be
connect device via USB to PC (Windows 7) and transfer files like Contacts (People), Pictures, Clips in either direction
use the device as storage (like an USB-stick)
I am not familiar with establishing connection or how "syncing" works with WP and W7. What I read is that "ZUNE" is the main syncing tool for that. The problem is, that I think in the last couple of weeks, Microsoft may have abandoned the idea of using Zune for this. Can someone confirm this? If yes, what is it now?
If I connect the Device via USB this is what Windows 7 shows me in the "Devices and Printers" Screen (see attch).
A click on the symbol just opens driver information but not a folder like a removable medium like an USB-Stick in Windows.
Also, I read since I use a Custom ROM, I shouldn't update via Zune (or its successor). Is this true? Would establishing connection with an official syncing tool "kill" my Custom ROM? (In other words: if I connect my Custom ROM device to the official sync tool, would it automatically start an update or only if I explicitly start the update process?)
I'd really appreciate any hints and tips.
Thx in advance!
Edit: after installing WMDC 6.1 and Zune, I now have a solid connection. Still, there's the question how far I can go there without automatically updating to Stock ROM (and therefor damaging my Custom ROM) via offical MS channels.
I mean when I am completely offline (like android phones). Or at least using reverse tethering. Is reverse tethering possible to lumia 1020?
P.s. My question is specific. I know about wifi or bluetooth, which I don't trust. Using my pc I feel more safe.
Thanks
:cyclops:
You can deploy XAP files using a PC using USB cable. On Win 10 Mobile, you can install APPX using file explorer just like APK on Android or you can also use Device Portal (similar to reverse tethering).
Thank you

I did loads of research and I never stumbled upon Device Portal. Obviously you are ... (somebody) and thank you...
Unfortunately my phone runs Windows 8.1 and my laptop Windows XP. Is there something out there for me, to marry my two devices offline? I also want to downgrade to Windows 8 but probably there is not a user friedly and safe way (fa fu bee ga ).

You're very welcome.
You can deploy apps from XAP files on WP8.1 but unfortunately not for XP. I understand that the deployment tools is from Visual Studio 2015 which requires Win 7 or higher. I've seen some sites extracts the deployment tool as a standalone app so you don't have to install visual studio. You can attempt to deploy XAP file this way. But I have no idea if it will work.
