Hey! Got a HTC touch diamond.
Yesterday i plugged in my phone for the first time to my computer running windows 7. It started syncing and stuff automatically. Once completed, all my contacts were gone from the phone, and there are none on the computer (its *****ing about that i dont have any software for the contacts, so it cant back them up or sth, coz i dont have outlook installed)..
The thing is, in my pim.vol file, i can see the contacts.. but they aren't on the phone. What to do?
Cheers
Hi All
Just moved from an HD2 to the rather sensational Sensation - am enjoying its functionality enormously!
What I'm struggling with is pretty fundamental - HTC Sync
I installed the latest version on my WinXP PC. When I connected the Sensation, nothing happened. I tried launching HTCSync manually, and sometimes I would get the splash screen and sometimes nothing. Basically, I can't even begin to sync the phone.
I tried installing HTCSync on another PC (A windows 7 laptop). This time, I got the splash screen and then it froze. Then when I rebooted, not even the splash screen.
When connected the Sensation tries to find HTC Sync, but eventually gives up saying: ' 'Can't find HTC Sync blah, blah'
I've installed and uninstalled many times now on both the XP and Win7 machine, but this hasan't made any difference.
On a positive note, if I opt for treating the Sensation as a drive using HTC Sync (when the window pops up on my phone to choose), I can 'see' the phone that way.
So it's not a complete disaster.
I'm pretty competent with WinMo phones, but my newness to Android, is making reluctant to tinker with anything!
Is there anyone out there who could point me in the direction of a solution?
Thanks
The way I do it is have HTC Sync open and then put the device in the HTC Sync mode. Have you tried that?
Sinking with Syncing
Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that I have tried to use 'sync' mode
Hmm, did you try a hard reset on your phone?
Sinking with Syncing
Yeah, that too! - no change!
HTC Sync kinda sucks. Try this. You'll need to get the desktop client as well & it syncs perfectly.

Also see if you have a Firewall enabled, it gave me problems on Vista just because I had Windows firewall enabled (and never asking me if I wanted to use this app or to block it, really strange).
I don't use HTC sync now but I remember reading somewhere that you need to install adb driver in your phone. There should be a htc sync folder in your Sd card. I ever had the same problem as you. I didn't know about the adb drivers and I gave up on htc sync. I then tried android-sync which installed adb drivers in my previous android phone during the set up. After the installation, htc sync worked! So I did not use android-sync and was happy to use htc sync. Now, I sync my sensation with gmail. Hope my information on adb drivers will point you in the right direction.
HTC Sync
Well, I've given up on HTC Sync. The workaround for me was that I only needed it to sync calendar, tasks and contacts. Google does that over the network with Events and People, so I just needed to set up a ToodleDo account and data is synced.
Strange though, couldn't get HTC Sync to work on ANY PC here.
Never mind....

Hi
I've just come over from an HD2 also, and I had the same problem.
I tried to sync my Sensation with my laptop and it did the same as yours
I tried to sync an old Hero with my laptop and this would not work
I then tried to sync my daughters Desire HD with my laptop and it worked
I tried to sync a Desire with my laptop and it didn't work first time but on the third attempt it worked.
So I kept trying the Sensation until it worked.
It now connects first time.
Syncing feeling
Yeah, it's all a bit bizarre, I got a mate round with a Desire and his connected first time, then when I tired to connec tmine, it also connected.
Strange!
Hi my laptop died on me, so ive just bought a new one, I have the problem now of having no files on my laptop whatsoever, and a phone full of music, photos videos contacts etc that was synced with my old laptop.
Can i sync my phone now so that all the data on my phone goes on to my laptop, so it can just be updated via HTC Sync, because as soon as i sync it now, i shall lose everything of my phone then i shall be well and truly stuck!
Thanks
If you change the setup from htc sync, you can choose that only the files from your phone get synced to the computer.
Or you can choose disk drive and do it manually.
Why not attaching the device as a disk drive and copy the data to your laptop using windows(?) explorer?
Contacts are synced with your gmail account, which in it's turn can sync with pretty much any other CM software.
Hi thanks for the help, all sorted now. Wasnt sure how to change sync settings in order to sync from phone to pc though?
I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
