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.
Putting this in the development thread as I read a lot on these forums about people trying to get one click roots/flashers to work and kept getting a lot of device not found errors, or partially working attempts that ended up failing even though they had the right drivers installed etc.
I never had a problem with this until yesterday and figured out what is going on.
Back story: I normally flashed at home on my main PC and never was an issue but yesterday I got my replacement Epic while at work and had to use my laptop to root, flash clockwork etc. About an hour of errors, unplugging and plugging and devices not found I finally got two to take. It still bugged me what was causing this.
Solution: Check your antivirus suite. I personally use Avast. What was happening was Avast On-Access protection was blocking data transfer between my Epic and PC. The device would install fine, appear to be seen by windows but countless attempts to flash, or using the android SDK would result in a blocked transfer within 20 seconds of plugging in the USB making it appear to be dead and "offline" (in the android SDK). It was "there" but data was being blocked.
If you're an avast user and always have these issues try this.
Plug in your Epic.. Right click the blue Avast circle in the Task Tray and click program settings. Next click "exclusions" and then click "browse". Check the empty box for the drive that your Epic appeared as. Mine was "E:". Then click OK out of avast to save it.
Now try flashing, or using the Android SDK. It should work flawlessly now without any out of no where device no found, offline errors.
Other AV users: Disable the entire thing during one click flashers
After spending my entire Saturday trying in vain to get my win 7 laptop to recognize my captivate I've decided I need to reach out for some help.
Right when I gore my phone, without too much hassle I did the superoneclick root via my pc with great success. Did the lagfix after that and all was well. Go me right?
I used my phone for a little bit and decided that it was time to but sonera music and pictures on it. This is where it all went wrong.
For background, I have done up to this Point: tried both driver sets that are floating around (and exe and the version most often linked to in help threads with a simple setup file), Ive tried kies, I've tried going into device manager to manually locate the divers. Nada.
At this point the drivers with the setup file will no longer install because the install of the exe screwed up at some point. Windows is only showing the device as us composite hub or as a unknown device. I can sometimes get it to say Samsung android usbb device but it shows that it is in error and it still wot see the phone. Someone else asked me if I had used the mount option when I comes up in my notifications bar which I haven't because it never gives me the option. I've tried disabling launcherpro, undoing the root, undoing the lagfix, formatting and wiping user data on the phone, still nada. I've tried all usb modes. Nada.
First things first, can someone explain to me exactly what I should do in device manager to get the drivers in order? I'm pretty sure this is the root of my problem. Any idea on how to get rid of the erroneous drivers that are causing the driver setup to fail?
Any help would be great :S
Need to try and manually remove three old drivers, then try and re install. Id suggest using the ones design gears posted on his one click back to stock post

I snipped this from one of my old posts in the Vibrant section...
For those of you having a problem with Windows 7 recognizing your Vibrant ... here is how I fixed it on my system.
*Note: You do not need to load any special USB drivers for your phone to be recognized in Mass Storage mode in Windows 7.
*Warning: You follow these instructions at your own risk ... no screaming at me if you try it and something gets screwed up!
1) Navigate your way into the Device Manager / Universal Serial Bus Controller
2) Uninstall the device(s) "USB Root Hub" (My system had 2 listed)
3) You will lose mouse and keyboard control (because you just removed the USB Hubs)
4) Reset your PC and allow Windows to boot normally.
5) Go back to the device manager and wait for all of the "!" marks to go away as windows re-installs the USB Hubs and reinitializes all of your devices.
6) Make sure your Vibrant is in mass storage mode and has USB debugging OFF
7) Plug in your Vibrant via the USB cable and be amazed as windows recognizes your device and assigns the drive letters. After you select the mount option on your phone you will have normal access via windows explorer.
Hope this helps some of you out there !!!

thanks for the good responses guys but both of those have failed. Odin cant even see my phone, same issue with superoneclick root. I even just tried on an enitrely different PC and got the same "device could not start" message.

kies or mass storage?
for kies debugging in settings>aplications must be disabled. i dont remember what works better ask on connection or to have connection type preset in settings>applications>usbsettings. im on froyo which works a million times better, kies on jf6 was like a 90% fail rate. it just didn't work for me.
for mass storage you need to mount the phone from a message in the notification bar, even if it asks the connection type and you tick mass storage it will not be mounted, you still need to mount from the notification bar.
you can also mount the sdcards from the notification bar in debugging mode which bypasses the connection type setting in settings>applications>usbsettings.
i tend to leave debugging on in case i need adb to fix my phone, i only turn it off to use kies which is useful to fix my contacts when i have multiples (it's alot easier to fix 200+ contacts on a computer screen using a mouse and keyboard), or install an update if i choose to run the phone stock.
tried in every combination of modes, cant get it connect any possible way. I also dont get the option to mount it from the notification bar so perhaps I have a hardware issue.
Are you using the stock usb cable? I've had problems with some but not all generic cables.

may not be what you want to hear
I actually had a similar problem, though not the same. My phone charges and I can use mass storage without issue, but I could not get Odin One Click updaters to ever "see" my phone. I tried every USB port on my box, tried several different driver sets (including the ones DG recommends). Eventually, I tried on a different computer. Odin saw it fine, updated no problems, first time out of the gate.
I know, I know, not everyone has access to two computers, and furthermore there "should" be no reason it can't work on a particular one, but for me, short of formatting my PC and reinstalling OS, I tried everything else I could think of.
Good luck, either way!
post moved to new thread
I don't think there should be a logical reason as to why this would ever work, but Windows (and computers in general sometimes) has a tendency to surprise me like that... but what if you try removing the drivers by whatever automatic means you are provided with, and then check and remove them manually (if necessary), and finally run CCleaner or some other program with registry cleaning capabilities to give your PC that last little enema.
Then use DG's drivers and install them in whatever way he recommends (been a while since I installed the drivers). That's really all I can think of on the PC side... maybe putting a cheap little USB hub between your phone and your PC if you have one laying around as another mostly futile attempt.
Fair warning, it is possible for CCleaner to mess up your PC... any program that messes with the registry can potentially do so. I've never seen the program cause harm, but it is possible.
I've had the same problem with my Crappy from day one. I still somehow got SuperOneClick to Root my phone through multiple attempts. But if all you need to do is transfer files from your phone to PC, and vice versa. I would recommend Android Sync Manager. It can read most of the file systems in the phone, and transfers at a decent speed.
same here
One of my PCs recognizes Cappy with the same cable, OS, drivers. Other one doesn't.
So I ended up using "ADB Wireless" from Market. It works pretty good, slower than USB, but works.
Also - if you are willing to make your PC work - try fresh reinstall of Windows 7SP1 and disable driver update from Internet.
Since your just trying to put music and pictures on the phone, try Kies Air from the market. Install it on your phone then you can transfer files wirelessly with the browser from your computer.

Definitely check the USB cable. I had this exact issue before. I checked drivers, did a bunch of un-installing and manual installing of drivers. Finally I tried my stock USB cable and all worked perfectly!
Anyone having issues with AFT and the GS7? When I plug in the GS7, AFT launches but I get an error that the device is locked, even though it isn't (screen is on and it's unlocked). I've tried removing security just to eliminate that, doesn't help.
Other Android 6.0 devices work fine with AFT so it's clearly GS7 related.
Particularly annoying because you can't yet write directly to the External SD card

When you connect S7 to the MAC, it says cannot connected, but a popup appears on your phone. Allow it, and don't disconnect the USB cabel. Once again, start Android File Transfer App. This is how it works. Each time when you plug S7 in, you have to allow the connection on the phone, after that it works until you disconnect S7.
When I plug mine in and change the setting to media transfer on the phone AFT pops up and says "try reconnecting or restarting your device" then closes. Every time

Yes, that's true. I couldn't get it to connect no matter what, without uninstalling Kies. That was my OP.

OK, I found a real solution: install Samsung Smart Switch and update it. When phone is connected (don't have to allow) there is a small arrow on the right side of the name of your device, expand it, and a small folder icon opens a file manager like AFT. By the way it has also a backup/restore/update/syncMAC function without root.
If you have been getting a response when plugging in a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge, do the following:
Go the the Kies website and download Kies for Mac.
Next, openKiesMacSetup.dmg which you've just downloaded.
Click Uninstall. Your Mac will ask you to open the app, so you'll need to open it.
Once it's done uninstalling Kies you probably had on your computer from a while back and no longer use, once you plug in your new GS7 or GS7 edge, and open the AFT application on your Mac, it should still give you a weird response, but on your phone, this time it'll ask you if you're ready to connect your phone and open it up to see files on your computer. Select that you do, and it'll work.
A Finder window opens, and the model number will appear in the center of the Finder window with the requisite files.
Actually, unless I missed it, nobody touched on the solution, which is incredibly simple. I found it on accident. The default setting for the GS7 is to CHARGE when plugged into a Mac (maybe PC too?). Swipe the top notification area, tap "charging" and switch it to file transfer, or photo, or whatever else you want. Good luck!!!
Fixed it for me just now
I was having all of the above issues. What worked for me was completely removing all traces of Android File Transfer (including other mobile sync applications) with AppDelete. Then I reinstalled Android file transfer, plugged my phone in, tapped "Allow", and it worked!

I struggled with this, as well. I even uninstalled all KIES drivers form my Mac and AFT still didn't work with my S7 until I did the following:
(1) Plug the S7 USB into the Mac.
(2) Down swipe the status bar at the top and you should see a "USB Charging" status.
(3) Tap on the "USB Charging" status and a menu with radio buttons should pop up.
(4) Choose the "File Transfer" option.
After doing that, AFT worked properly and it didn't even require me to click "Allow" or anything else. It just worked.
mickliq's solution worked for me as well (hadn't been able to connect an s7 or s6 to a mac air osx 10.11.4 until downloading and uninstalling Kies). Thanks!

Hello, I have a Samsung A51 through T-Mobile. Recently my phone has only been charging and won't do any data transfer or bring up the menu to select what to do with the connection. After trying many different things I found out it will connect with data transfer only when I restart the phone while it's plugged in. Once I unplug the phone and plug it back in nothing. But if I leave it plugged in and restart it again it shows up.
Any ideas? All help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked around and cannot find anything regarding my issue.
Thank you
Try a known good cable.
Make sure the phone pop up enabling the data connection is enabled. Without permission each time access will be denied... at least on my Samsung.
Access the drive directly in Device Management; hit scan for new devices.
Check Event Viewer for errors logged.
Reload the drivers on the PC.

I can do all that. But only after restarting my phone while it's plugged in. It's not a cable issue or a USB port issue. Ive tried multiple cables and ports. And also tried same cable with different phone. The port on my phone is fine. If I plug it in, restart my phone it shows up as it should. Once I disconnect the phone and plug it back in, nothing. It's very odd. I think it may be an update issue from t mobile. But figured I'd check here.
Thank you for your response
Also, the pop up to allow access only shows up when phone is plugged in and I restart it. I unplug it and plug it back in. And it will only show thats charging and there isn't a prompt or selection of what to do with usb (transfer files, images, MTP, tethering etc.

Try this troubleshooting steps https://www.wikihow.com/Clear-the-Record-of-USB-Plug-in-Equipment and that https://www.partitionwizard.com/disk-recovery/the-last-usb-device-malfunctioned-windows-10.html from time to time my Samsung devices have some kind of issues with Windows 10.
Also you should try with adb commands pairing both and allow the access always when the prompt appears, it could be some kind of permission denied or malfunctioning that either Samsung is not asking correctly to PC or the permission from PC is not coming properly to device, this should happen due to some old logs or a filled directory in the USB hub in Windows that needs some cleaning.

Check Developer options>USB default configuration
Try clearing system cache on the phone.
Try a hard reboot on the phone.
If you unplug the phone from the PC you need to reauthorize it via the phone pop up after you reconnect it... each time.
If you always leave the PC on, reboot it.

Like I've said. There is no prompt unless I restart my phone while plugged in. This isn't my first phone. I understand how it "should" be working. And it only acts as it should when I plug it in and restart the phone. Once I unplug it and plug it back in its as if I'm using a charg only cable.

Meh then play with it... you know the drill.
Goggle it and look at other models/OS's that had the same issue as well. A lot of the same issues keep reoccurring so this tactic is helpful with newer models too.
Either it's settings, the load got screwed up or it's hardware maybe the port. Worse case... a mobo failure.
Try it in safe mode.
I probably do a factory reset* especially if it's an old load. If that fixes it but the issue returns latter, it's a setting or 3rd party app causing it.
*if it persists after a factory reset it's possible the firmware version is the problem or the firmware got corrupted during the flash. Reflash firmware.

Thank you. I'll start with safe mode and go from there. I appreciate your response.
It's frustrating. Find a usable work around for the time being if you can.
Most times the solution is staring you in the face, step back and rethink it. When did it start? What was done before it started?
Try clearing the data in the Android Setup apk (Android Setup com.google.android.setupwizard Android).
Use a 3rd party app like Package Disabler PD MDM to clear it as doing it in Settings leaves a Null* (presumably) and can't fix it sometimes. I know this particular app (PD MDM) works because I had it happen to me with a USB popup issue a while back.
Clearing Android Setup apk data completely resolved it. If you see Android Setup as a cache app it is the culprit; normally it never runs except during initial setup.
*when data is reported as zero, Nulls are apperantly not reported but still there screwing things up.
