Hello.
I asked the forum search about it, but cant find really an helpful answer.
I do have strong problem with Active Sync. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes, I got to install Active Sync new or drop out the device and add it new to get it done.
Button for fast data connection at the Touch Pro is enabled. Working with 4.5.0 and XP.
Can someone please get me a tip?
Hardware Problem?
I had the same problem with my TyTN II which is the reason I switched to Touch Pro.
The problem I could not synch was because of the MiniUSB connector. I had to change the main board twice. So now my wife owns the TyTN II
i solved that problem by changing another usb slot (it didn't work with USB from my monitor...)
Thank you.
I tried all 6 USB Ports and nothing helped.
Also, I tried to disconnect all other USB devices, also enabled and disabled the "Charging while connected to the PC" button.
Any other suggestions?
I also had thrown out the second device I had in Active Sync.

Have you disabled "advanced network functionality" in Settings>Connections>USB to PC ?
also try reinstalling active sync again...
@Wonkotehsame:
Yes, I disabled this function.
@ yahu:
So I did. Not just one time, many times. Always after reinstalling, it workes. Some time later, I am loosing connection.
Also, if I try to copy larger files like GPS software with appr. 1,4 Gb the transfer to the Memory card stoppes with the failure message: no such file found.
Can this be something along with the Active Sync problem?
I too have problems with this. ActiveSync says phone is set up to sync with a different computer, but it's not.
Still nobody any hint for this problem?
My problem is a little bit diferent...
My vista won't sync with my Artemis, but it syncs with my Glofiish M700..
If i change the PC (OS XP x64), the artemis syncs.....
So, my Vista Notebook is angry with my Artemis... neither USB/BT sync can be done...
Nice to hear that a lot of people have similar probs ;-)
What I have done now, deleted all of my connetions features/partnerships and made all new.
For now (maybe until Monday...) it works, but now I dont get a folder on the desktop of my mobile device. Is this an optional setting? Can someone tell my how to do?
I dont believe that NOBODY has an help for this problem.
As of today, no Active Sync in any ways is possible with my phone. Even not if I make a new installation.
Also; I made sure that all Anti Virus and Firewalls do allow all 3 Active Sync Files.
What can I do else???
Another try for the specialists:
I have copied now my Outlook.pst to a different Desktop, installed there the Active Sync. I worked w/o prob. That means, the problem got to be with the Desktop.
Last try: Who can help?

Looks like you are on your way to finding the root cause. I would try the same computer but a different user to see if it is related to the user setting.
This is what I have done last night. 2nd user, installed OL new and also Active Sync.
Nothing. Same problems.
I restarted the Desktop AND the device several times.
Nothing.
But, when I came this morning, it worked the first time.
The second it failed. I will go and purchase a new Desktop for the thanks of Mr. Microsoft!
has anyone found a real solution for this problem?? mmy computer recognizes the phone a a disk drive bt active sync does nothing. any help would be greatly apprecated
I'm getting this too. Sometimes ActiveSync works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what causes it to work and not work...
Theres only two possible solutions I know of from all I've ever heard of the problem:
1. Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC. Also, I know the prompt asking you if you would like to use as a disk drive comes up if you've set your phone to be read as an sd card reader. If the pop up annoys you, try removing the SD card and trying again.
2. Hard reset.
Sorry if it doesn't seem favorable to you guys.
It works, though not made for the Captivate. Here's how to get it:
First, you will need to get .NET 4 Framework from Microsoft and install that. You will need to restart your computer after installing, so be prepared.
Go to samsungapps.com or it should be the first search link when searching for Samsung Kies using Google.
It will tell you that it's not available for the US.
Click the "Applications" tab in the upper right part of the screen.
Click "See all Countries"
Click on "Europe" then select "United Kingdom" (I did this just to make sure that whatever follows would be in English, but it may not matter)
At the bottom-center there will be a link "Download Kies" Save or Run the .exe
During installation, it will ask you what language you want. You can choose US at that point.
Phone wouldn't connect at first. I closed the program, disconnected the USB cable, then reconnected the USB cable and Windows started installing drivers. After that, I reopened Kies, selected Samsung Kies on the phone when prompted for USB connection type, and it started establishing connection with the phone. It will then show the phone's model number and your wireless phone number.
If you're having trouble after the drivers are installed, just make sure that the "MTP Application" with USB connector symbol is displayed on the phones screen. It Kies should recognize the phone and connect automatically after that.
It has a few useful features, but isn't the best phone assisting software I've used.
Thanks for this. I just wish I had it before I spent so much time getting my Outlook contacts on my phone.
I installed and ran the program before connecting my phone. When I did connect, it recognized it right away.
What kind of system did you do this on? I tried it a couple of days ago, but my 64 bit Win 7 system had no love for the Samsung MTP USB drivers.
XP, sp3
Someone posted on another topic that they had to update the .NET framework and some other stuff to get it to work on 7.

I tried doing it on xp sp3 as well and it always says connecting device and it won't ever connect. Tried to re-install and all that updated everything and still wont work
Why do I need Kies? (innocent tone) All I've needed is mass storage option..
After installing Kies I kept having problems with Win7 64 bit until I plugged the USB cable directly into one of the motherboard ports. Once I did that things started working correctly.
I'm using Windows 7 Starter on my netbook. It's true, you have to get .NET 4 Framework, and I'll add that to the original post.
No one NEEDS Kies, but it is nice to have if you want to back up your contacts and convert videos to play on the phone.

I've found this only connects if you're using the TouchWiz launcher.

Tried that too. The Kies Recovery Mode attempts to install the drivers and the Samsung Android USB Composite Device does install but the CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) driver fails.
Any idea what that "other stuff" is that might be needed?
Tnx
this is great... but for whatever reason, when transfering music, i can't get playlists to transfer, nor some album art...
oh and i'm using it on win 7 pro x64... you do need the .net 4 framework and it will only connect while using TouchWiz :-\

I'm on Win 7 64 bit , amazing guy , you're the best
Wow thnx a lot! finally its working for me and i have a windows 7 x64.
Can't connect.
My phone is rooted and all drivers installed fine except the MTP driver won't install.
I can choose mass storage and mount but when I choose Kies option on the phone it just goes crazy and keeps flashing MTP on the phone.
Someone posted somewhere that you need to do a factory reset but I really don't want to do that cause it will wipe all my apps and stuff.
Any other ideas?
You need to connect the usb cable with it already set to the Kies option.
My phone connects to Win7 x86 when it is in development mode and Kies registers that fact but complains that it cannot be in that mode. So I switch the mode off in the phone but now when I plug the phone in it does not even get recognized. Nothing, not even trying to install driver or a new USB device found.
What am I doing wrong?
Net 4 is installed and so are the Sammy usb drivers.
What's the point of Kies?
Hi,
I have HTC Tilt 2 and I have contacts with photos on that. Also all the photos are in sync with outlook. When I used Kies to sync my contacts it did not bring any photo? What should I do? I have more than 300 contacts..
Samsung, this is pathetic!
Wasted 2 hours of my life dealing with your stupidity.
heres the solution (problem was launcher pro):
1. grab the homeswitcher from market
2. set touchwiz crap as default.
3. reboot phone.
from then on, kies acts normally, phone gets detected normally etc etc etc.
thanks for wasting my time samsung.
edit: even after this i had probs, seems i need to reboot phone everytime i need to connect it. on first connect after fresh reboot it seems to work. goodluck. (very very very poor software as expected from samsung)
edit2: this is a bug fest! who coded this samsung? some student? jesus this soft is so bad it kills all the experience. what a piece of junk. barely works. flaky. buggy. samsung, fire your software team asap. they suck. only a true amateur can output this kind of garbage. this is below badly coded visualbasic garbage.
Seems to me you need to take your unhappy self and learn how to code. Then apply for a Job at Samsung claiming you can put their programmers to shame. IF you aren't gonna do anything about it, other than complain, you need to just STFU or get another phone.

I may have found one more thing you could try...
After trying EVERYTHING I could find here on XDA, as well as across the web, I still couldn't get my S3 to connect to my computer. While trying to get mine to work, I discovered that my husband's S3 connected just fine, nixing the thought that it was computer related. I exchanged mine for a new phone, got it home, and it still didn't connect.
Several hours of troubleshooting later, I had it narrowed down that it worked immediately after a factory reset (while still connected to the computer), but BEFORE the setup wizard got to the Backup Assistant (where it was no longer visible in My Computer). SO, I reset it again, skipped out of the setup wizard as soon as I could, and bada-bing! It works! I discovered after the fact that my husband (whose connected so beautifully from the get go) had backed out of his setup wizard during initial setup, so it definitely could be more than just a one phone fix.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a total newb to pretty much everything in this forum, so there may be a more knowledgeable person who could be able to pinpoint exactly why the setup wizard would prevent the MTP driver from working properly. At this point, I'm just happy it works, and wanted to put this out there in case there may be anyone else at their wits end.
I had to install kies before it worked properly for me and now i still have to plug in phone then unplug and plug back in before pc see's my phone.

Yeah, installing, uninstalling and re-installing Kies did nothing for my phones (first or second). I tried it all -- different usb ports on the computer, battery pull, reboot the phone, reboot the computer, install the drivers, uninstall the drivers, try it with usb debugging checked, try it all again with usb debugging unchecked, with an sd card, without one, with a sim card, without one, factory reset not connected and then factory reset connected. Even tried it all again on a separate computer running Windows 7 vs Vista. Finally, in the middle of a factory reset, I saw the magic words "Installed Successfully", but then it stopped working after I finished the setup wizard. Again, I have NO idea why the setup wizard would cause it not to work, but that was what I had narrowed it down to. I'm just glad to have it working!

Well, after reading about a dozen posts and so-called fixes. It all boiled down to uninstalling the Samsung Driver & Kies (if you installed separately). This def works for Verizon SCH-I535 Galaxy S3 16MB with 4.0.4 load.
1. Uninstall Kies, Uninstall Samsung Driver, reboot. Reboot your phone just to be safe.
2. On your S3 select Settings-->Developer-->Enable USB Debugging (hit ok at the prompt). Don't tweak anything else here. You MUST have the Debugging turned on for phone to connect to PC.
3. Plug-in the Samsung USB cable to PC (there was some discussion on which USBs work and which don't ... so you can try different USB ports if #4 fails to work below)
4. Windows will then install whatever driver(s) it needs and whala, you can now access your S3 via Explorer...it will show up as a phone, not an actual drive.
Hope this helps and saves you the time and frustration I experienced. I never saw the little USB icon on the S3 until I wiped all the Samsung and Kies drivers from my Win 7 system & enabled debugging on phone. So the issue lies with Samsung and their crappy Kies tool...their driver does not work for S3 (i.e., the standalone download that Version posts on their site). Go with the Windows Update driver (which is auto) and you should now be able to connect via USB to your S3. Again, this works for Win 7 32bit with Android 4.0.4.
-Cheers!
I have an old pc running xp. Nothing worked until I installed kies on both the phone and the pc. YMMV.

Hello, sorry to but this here in the Q/A area. I have been searching for answers for a few weeks now dealing with using adb on my htc inspire. I have found files for doing it and all but nothing saying it will work with my htc inspire. I down loaded the latest htc sync from htc web site, plug my phone in and it dose not detect my phone. I have read that I need drivers for my phone on computer but, nothing I have tried works. Could some one either point me to the files that will work with my inspire, sorry to ask to be spoon feed this and all but nothing I try has worked. thanks a bunch.

The drivers should come with installing HTC Sync. Are you merely downloading it or also installing it?
umm installing it i guess, i downloaded the sync installer and it installed sync. i just uninstalled every thing and going to try it again.
I had the the same problem have to you tried connecting to another pc or say a car stereo for disk drive?

ok i can connect the phone to computer as a hard drive and such, but i plug it in to use sync and i get drivers can not be started in device manager?
when ever i select htc sync on phone i get that driver error. almost like the drivers I have on computer are not the right ones. but I look for the drivers and can not find any other then what came with the htc sync i got off htc web site.
You installed Sync with the phone unplugged, right?
yea i did, its almost like the drivers are wrong or corrupted or something. every time i plug phone in and click on phone htc sync the drivers do not load right.
Windows 7 or 8?

Oh. Er, I have no idea then...
k thanks for the reply though, I know the phone works. I have hooked it up before long time ago when I rooted the phone. Prob being is i have since reformated the computer erasing everything on computer. I am missing something, just not sure as too what I need to i guess go back and get my old ace hack kit out and see what all i needed to have installed on computer to get it to work. Go from their, I am at a loss for now.
OK, I might be able to assist you because I've heard of similar situations before..so explain in a nutshell of what's really going on..

k, cool here it is. I plug my phone into my laptop, the meassage pop up down at the bottom right corner saying installing drivers. then it said needed to restart computer to finish with the install. I did that, and plug phone back in and the android drivers on laptop fail to start. I can give you the exact error i get when I go into device manager, and click on the android driver, but i cant right now I am at work. i have tried this with severial custom roms, even custom roms that are stock. Right now though i am running my original rom that came with phone, wich its not updated. Its the rom my phone came with what two years ago. I was able to connect phone to computer back then thought i would try that but no joy.
my fire wall is turned off and defender is turned off, i have turned off the setting asking me if i want to run a progrme or not, i forget what it was called and also i have not tried that yet. found it under security settings disabled it and turned off computer was going to try it tonight when i get home.
xZeroMancerx, you have any info on this that can help bud?
just thought I would add some more info. tonight I tried to install HTC sync again to see if I could get it to work. would not install windows something 11 prog also when it asked me to restart computer I waited for a min and it gave me the blue screen of death.

ok well i finally got it to work. turns out their was a major issue with my computer. was stuck on down loading sp1 from Microsoft even. I had to down load some files to fix vista, and re-download sp1 manually and install it. but sync is now working like a charm.
Moderator if you wish you can close this thread or even delete it if it would help to clean the threads up.
As the title says, I use a mac and I have been unable to use both my M7 (After 4.4 Update) and my M8 on my mac. To be specific, android file transfer never sees the phone. Occasionally when booting my phone up when connected the manager pops up with a phone could not connect message, but it has never worked. This is isolated to just HTC phones for me, I verified my setup is fine with a Note 10.1 2014 (running 4.4.2), Nexus 5 (4.4.2), and a S4 (4.2). All of those connect fine.
I know there were some threads about HTC breaking something but I haven't seen a fix yet. Is there one?
If you're rooted, try DriveDroid. Let it acquire root, skip the setup, then tap on the Settings icon on the bottom bar. Then tap USB Settings and select Manually Change Permanent USB Mount. Select Media Transfer Protocol Android Debugging. Now connect your device. You should be good to go.

I hope not. I Loathe HTC Sync. Damn thing never quits right, doesn't run particularly well, and I just don't want another service running if I don't really need it. When I'm done with finals though I will try that. I have a bad feeling your right though...
If you restart the computer with the phone still plugged in, Android File transfer will work.
