Hi
I dont have ActiveSync on my laptop.
I want to use WM6 Internet Sharing with USB cable,
but when I connect my EXEC with my laptop,
Windows XP derects PocketPC USB Sync device
and can'r find any driver for it...
What do I need to use Internet Sharing? ActiveSync?
Thx

You have to install Activesync and will be done. Driver is installed with ActiveSync.

Try this version of AS...

Internet sharing from your Universal to an XP PC
I had looked for a solution for this for some time, I then tried the following option, which required my computer to be connected to the internet initially, I hope it works for you.
Enable Internet Sharing in your Universal, plug it into your internet enabled XP computer with the normal USB cable (Active Sync if installed should disable and lose it's green colour) your computer at this time should be looking for new hardware drivers, if you enable the option for it to look for drivers on the Microsoft site automatically (this takes some time for your computer to search the microsoft site and find the driver), then it sholud find it.
After the hardware driver successfully installs (forgive me I don't remember the name, it had 'idvendor & modem' somewhere in it) then you should be able to unplug your ethernet cable, USB internet connection, disable your wireless which every it is you use, and as long as you computer is set up correctly (I think automatically acquire DNS and IP , the default or standard settings found in networking should be fine) then you should be able to go through the whole process again and this time your computer has the right drivers and will be able to utilise internet connection sharing through your Universal channeling it through to all programs on you computer
It worked well for me, I had my work station on this internet sharing connection through my Universal and unlimited T-Mobile web&walk for 2 weeks, because when we moved our ISP could not initiate ADSL for that period, everyone in the office would use it and it was constantly logged in to remote exchange server, several instant messaging protocol
and surfed the net easily

Could you please tell me, how do I Enable Internet Sharing on my Universal, i have looked for a way to do it but I cannot find any setting or something similar.

Internet Connection Sharing .cab on XDA Developers

Hi, you'll need to find Internet Connection Sharing cab or installer, it is very likely linked to on XDA Developers if you want to do a search, it might even be down loadable from Microsoft's site!
If any one finds one could they post a link?

activesync and wm6

I have just flashed my wizard with a TNT wm6 and now I can't get activesync to regonize my device. I am using activesync 4.5. I uninstalled activesync and relaoded it. I have rebooted both my wizard and my laptop. I have checked the coms and let activesync look for my wizard and it tells me that my device has npot been detected. My wizard is showing the plugged in icon and is taking a charge from my laptop but its not allowing me to share info. is there anything I am missing....?
thanks!

I got the same problem! Cant sync with 2nd PC after upgrade to TNT5.0. I reinstalled Active Sync but it wont work. Now I only can sync with the PC which used to flash ROM. Is there any bar in OS that just allow sync to 1 computer?

Nopes !!!
There's no bar of any sort in any OS as not establish connectivity through Activesync.Which Windows are you using,Active Sync will only work on WinXP and not on WinVista.
1.Disable any Firewall or Anti virus program,check connectivity now.
2.disconnect phone from usb cable,delete partneship from pc and phone.
3.Uninstall Activesync,reboot pc.
4.Get phone into bootloaders mode (multicolor screen),Hook up the phone with pc via usb cable,check if usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders in the phone,if it's there than,it's establishing connection with phone,if not then,there's a problem either in anyone one of these :-
a) USB cable , b) mini usb port of the phone c) Usb port of the PC.
Dig out the problem and rectify accordingly
Cheers !

Yep... All checked!
Before upgrade, normally I've using all 2 PC (and some others PC) to sync with. I upgraded on PC1, is OK. Plug in PC2, it still recornized, connecting but couldnt connected. Batt charging normal. I've deleted all partnership., reinstall ActiveSync, disable Kapersky AV... but still get error. Oh my God, do I have to reinstall Windows??? It's too tired and take long time....

DiCham, have you had any development on this or has anyone else had this problem? I downloaded the same verison from Nov07 and have not been able to connect since.

when it set to advanced networking it should give up a network device
in the network connections folder
rightclick this network device and choose properties and in there
uncheck the kaspersky protocol (not uninstall)
you can also try to uncheck the advanced network setting on the wizard

Sadly, I have no development upto now because I have no time to reinstall Windows in 2nd PC! I hope it will help... thinking about USB driver/controller reinstall first, it will take less time than whole WindowsXP...
japsfinest: do follow da_jojo, it worked!
da_jojo: thanks very much! It work but unfortunately, i'm right on reinstalling Windows! hehehe....

Strange problem with USB connectivity

I have a strange problem with a HTC Touch PRO. Here is my problem:
- I insert the USB cable and the phone asks if I want to use mass storage or activesync
-the phone shows a connection on the screen
-The PC is not sensing anything, the activesync is not connected.
I think this problem appeared after I used a wrong usb cable...
Anyone knows anything what to try? or this is a hardware problem?

Did you select ACTIVESYNC?
There are 2 modes this phone can do..
1) Standard ActiveSYNC or
2) AS a MASS STORAGE DEVICE -like a flash drive...
You have to select ActiveSYNC to actually SYNC software/calendar, else it will show up as just another drive to drag/drop files..

Yes i did it in every way and the computer is not sensing the connection with the phone.
Anyone know what kinf of hardware is responsible for the connection with the pc?

The problem is likely with your operating system on your pc.
You can try things like, un-installing the HTC usb driver in device manager.

Check your firewall.
- allow activesync for trusted
- I know for ZoneAlarm you have to go to the adapters section and set the ipaddress (a new one is created when your phone is hooked up via USB) to be trusted.
If that doesn't fix issue perhaps its a corrupt install of ActiveSync. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I've had this happen to me. I've got so many USB to mini-USB cables and they are not all alike.
Sometimes, it would work and sometimes activesync would not recognize it.
CHANGE YOUR CABLE to another. Hopefully, you've labeled the original cable that came with the phone..
(also, look at the mini cable where it plugs into your phone. Make sure there are no loose pins and/or verify that the 'plug' is level.

Try a different USB port

Try unchecking "use advanced network configuration" in Async settings on the phone. Some computers (for various reasons) have a hard time communicating with the phone when it's configured as a network device - unchecking this will often allow Async to find and connect to the phone, at the expense of some other functionality.

coincendentally i am having the same exact issue, it started last night.
i have tried 3 different cords, on all 3 usb ports on my computer. same thing the phone asks what kind of connection i want whether i select disk drive ofr active sync noting happens. whats weird is that the phone is charging when its connected however the computer is not seeing it at all.
i have tried all the recommendations in this thread but nothing is working. anymore help would be greatly apprciated!

Me too I have tryed everything but none is working.
I think that this a hardware problem, and the problem started to happen after i used a non HTC cable, bad quality. I think some kind of controller is dead. So i started to live with that

When I connteced to the PC via USB, my TP also asked me how to connect (AS or as disc). But suddenly it doesn't ask anymore. I had to deactivate "advanced network configuration" to conntect to AS.
The checkbox "ask each time USB connects" is activated.
What can I do that the phone asks again when I connect it?
Thx.

I have the same thing going on... suddenly a few days ago my fuze only charges when I plug it in the desktop with a usb cable... I re-flashed and it worked about halfway through a sync and then started again... I've tried different cables... uninstalled all of the usb drivers, and reinstalled then updated them... Disconnected the power supply... tried every setting on my phone, and in windows.... I've even uninstalled the last batch of windows updates that came out last week... nothing seems to work...

really simple solution.
decheck advanced network config. plug in cable wait till you see usb connected. a small box. after that choose for example activesync

internet share
This happened to me last night and I figured out that after you toggle your internet sharing you can sync up again. Idk why it works out like that but it worked for me.

This sound reasonable, because the last thing I did before was selecting the "internet sharing" option in the menu when you connect to USB.
But what do you mean with "toggle your internet sharing"? Can you please describe it.
Thx.

try this
okay - first see if you're getting an active connection with your pc , not from the network connections window, but by running mymobiler. I was getting a connection through mymobiler, but active sync wasn't recognizing the device. If mymobiler works, Call your phone. it will drop your connection with mymobiler when you answer the call. then hang up the phone call. (all the while leaving your cable plugged into your phone. When the call has been disconnected your activesync will recognize the connection and sync up again. I don't know why this works, but I've been able to duplicate the results several times.

Same htc ****+ wm. Bought an iphone 3g. Everything must be tuned in windows mobile! It doesn't work how it should!

None of this seems to be working... I've even flashed new roms and it stops working halfway through the sync... it doesn't even appear as though windows recognizes the device... it makes no noise or pop-up when I connect it...
Still charges though... Don't know what is going on...

Reinstall Mobile Device Manager!

I've experienced this issue multiple times, as I use my TP to sync with many stations. The solution is way more simple than you think and it has nothing to do with cables!.
You probably use Win Vista so all you need is to uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center", restart the PC and install a fresh copy from MS site.

If you're on XP, do the same with the Active sync solution for XP.
Good luck!

yeah this happens to me every now and then. the advanced network configuration option really helps, but sometimes i just need to plugin/unplug the usb cable from teh phone/cable or cable/computer a couple more timesbefore it picks it up...
goodluck!

LG Incite CT810 - Problem with USB

So I got my shiny new LG Incite at Best Buy yesterday. I knew I was getting it a while ago, so I downloaded a bunch of games and apps to load it up with as soon as possible. I get home from the store, play around with it and let it charge for a while, then I try to connect it to my computer (After installing ActiveSync 4.5 from the included disk, as well as both of the USB drivers on the disk). Windows comes up with that "found new hardware" stuff and asks where to look for the driver to install. I tell it to look on the CD, as well as the directories where the USB drivers from the disk were installed. It looks like it's working at first, but then I get this error:
(Error: "The data is invalid.")
Then it gives me the message balloon about how there was an error during installation and my new hardware may not work properly, etc. Now when I go to Device Manager, a number of things showed up with that little yellow exclamation point that I'm pretty sure were not there before, but I could be wrong:
- IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers: VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
- Network Adapters: Unknown device, WAN miniport (L2TP), WAN miniport (Network Monitor), and Windows Mobile-based Device
- Ports (COM & LPT): Communications Port (COM1)
So I tried reinstalling the drivers from a link I found in a thread on these boards (after clicking uninstall for "Windows Mobile-based Device" and having it tell me that the device is necessary to boot up the computer), but the same thing keeps happening. I also tried having ActiveSync scan for devices, but it never finds anything (Just says that USB is "available").
Please help, I really want to start putting pictures, music, and all that good stuff on my brand new phone
(btw, I'm pretty sure the problem is with the software/drivers on the computer, because when I plug in the USB cable the phone starts to charge. Other than that, nothing happens on the phone.)

If at all possible, I would try using the phone with another computer. For quite some time I was only able to sync data with my laptop and not my desktop, so I knew it was a software issue and not the phone itself.

would say it's down to
dead activesync install and no uninstalling it is not enough one have
to remove all traces of it in registry too
and it could also be an issue with usb drviers for the motherboard

Well, I'm not going to have another computer until September at least, so I really want to get it working on this computer, but I guess I could test it out on a friend's pc to see if my computer is the problem.

Know of any links or tutorials that would tell me all of the registry entries I'd have to remove?

(Sorry for the double post, but no one was replying...)
So I found my bluetooth adapter for my PC, and after I installed the proper software I could connect to my phone no problem. After that, I just used the bluetooth adapter's software to transfer files to my phone via FTP. (ActiveSync still just sat there, even when I set my phone to sync with bluetooth instead of USB, and I allowed wireless connections in ActiveSync)
So I'm glad I can finally transfer files, but I still want to get USB working. No one has any ideas at all?

(Triple post... sorry)
Ok, something happened to the bluetooth drivers and software now. I turned my computer off for the night after using bluetooth to transfer files to my phone, but when I turned on my pc today and clicked the shortcut to start the bluetooth software, I got a message saying that the program the shortcut was linking to no longer existed. Sure enough, the folder was gone from my Program Files directory. Now, every time I try to reinstall it, I get an error 183 that installation was interrupted.
So now I'm back to having no means of transferring files to my phone.
Please, any suggestions at all will be helpful to me at this point. I'm at my wits end!

Any progress on this?
I have a similar problem. I think usb sync worked on my laptop at one point, but hasn't for at least a week.
I was able to fix the problem at least temporarily by disconnecting the device, deleting it from ActiveSync and reconnecting. ActiveSync happily added it back and resynced everything. Now I can install the new Xcite ROM.

Still nothing...
Now my computer doesn't do anything at all when I plug my phone in, not even make a noise or ask about drivers. My phone, however, still recognizes that it's plugged in.
At least I got bluetooth working again, but still, USB would be nice.
It's hard to believe that out of every member on this forum, no one has even the slightest idea of where to start...

Menu - settings - connections - USB to PC.
Uncheck Enable advanced ...
OK TO ALL AND READY

Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter Driver ERROR

Hi All,
I'm running Windows 7
1. Suddenly my Windows Mobile Device Center Failed to recognize my phone and connect to sync. After some troubleshooting I realized the "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter Driver" Failed to work correctly Saying "This device cannot Start (Code 10).
I uninstalled the driver in the Device Manager and attempted to Search for the Driver again after a Restart, my phone was again found while attempting to Sync but once again during Driver installation it failed and gave the Exclamation Mark stating an issue and sure enough it is the Code 10 error again.
2. This exact same issue happens when attempting to Tether to use the Phone as an Internet Modem. The Network Adapter driver to Tether is "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" and it also doesn't install fine anymore. So no Tethering for me via USB.
Now, all the above happened suddenly while using the Internet Tethering with no issues. It simply disconnected and then that was the end of that.
Let me tell you to what Extent I went to try to get this to work. I re-formated my hard drive and re-installed Windows 7. And NOPE it didn't work. Windows Mobile Device Center is properly installed and that is when all the drivers are provided, during the WMDC installation. Once WMDC was installed, my phone was found, the Activsync feature and the Internet Modem feature, and the driver installation attempt happened, The correct drivers were found, but they just weren't Installed successfully as explained above. I'm currently browsing the internet using the Bluetooth PAN Internet Sharing, which works wonderfully with no issues.
But I really need to get the above two items working again, otherwise I can no longer connect my phone via activesync or better said WMDC for Windows 7 to Flash a New ROM.
Now so that nobody thinks it's a problem with my phone, I have three other computers where I can connect via WMDC and Tether via USB with no issues. But I'm having trouble with my Dell Inspiron 9300 which gave me no issues for Months until now.
I considered myself very computer savvy but at this point I'm really stuck!
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Raudel

The Windows Mobile Device Center that gets Installed is the one with Windows Update. So it must be the correct one with the Win 7 Drivers.
Thank you for your reply.
Any other ideas would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

i have the same problem with win7 and HTC touch2
i cannot solve the problem with HTC touch GSM everything is OK
any Help !!!!

I'm also getting this problem. It just began after a hardware upgrade. Microsoft remote adaptor cannot start. I have tried re-installing device centre numerous times and i cannot get device center to recognise my phone.
It works fine in disk drive mode however.
Edited to add that my device is recognised fine on other machines. So it is an issue with my PC. Interestingly my wireless usb adaptor won't work either.

I had a similar problem, found a solution online. There were some issues with Intel P55 chipset, it sync up immediately after BIOS update and reboot.
Hope this makes your day, best of luck.
