Has anyone figured out how to get these two to talk together so they sync?
I can't get Media Player 10 to recognise the Exec. I can sync Ok with outlook but just can't get past the Setup bit of Media Player.
I get as far as the "Setup must be completed" then goes on about setting up a partnership with MP10 on pc, i say yes and the loop starts again
its fairly easy.
1. connect usb to pc
2. open wmp10 on pc
3. select sync tab
4. add video, pics and music
5. press start sync on wmp10 and voila.
note it must be synced to a storage card
ive just seen the storage card bit in the help file
Install Version 10 of Windows Media Player before media can be synchronized.
Connect your mobile device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device is also connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.
Insert a 32 MB or larger storage card in your mobile device.
Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and Windows Media Player.
my SD is already in the phone so it didnt trigger the sync.

Norton Antivirus. I'll try disabling it when I get home tonight.
ok, my home machine, no AV no Firewall setup, dosent work
work machine, AV running Firewall Running, works fine
both XP SP2 with WMP10 using AS4.1
now im puzzeled
Did you install WMP10 on your PC after installing AS4? If yes then thats the problem. AS4 installs some files for WMP10, so if you install WMP10 after AS4 then they will be overwritten. So you need to install WMP10 first, then AS4.
I read this on the MS site somewhere.
Nop AS4 was installed on both as the last thing on them.
Same here - had WMP10 on for a while now and only installed AS4.1 recently
WM10 AS4
Same here,..WM10 doesn't recordnise my MDA pro. Tried olmoast everything but still no synchronisation. In Active Sync is says to complete the Sync klick here,..and then QM10 starts up. but no way of enabling the synchronisation....
anyone had some advice?
best regards
Arjan
open wmp10 on pda, try selecting library from storage card,
can you see this, if so with wmp10 open on pda now open wmp10 on pc.
on as4 have you ticked to sync windows media box
nope,..didn't solved the problem. Libary is set on storrage card, still no sign of an portable media player...
Anyone can help?
Best Regards
arjan
Same here - I have tried disabling anti-virus but that dosn't help. WMP10 just cannot see the Exec.

Try completely uninstalling all antivrius, firewall, reboot and see what happens.
For that are having problems with AS4/4.1 - I have found uninstalling the COM ports can help as the USB drivers can become corrupted. Also I think you need to make sure that AS is working; do a sync before you try to connect to WM10 on this PC. I have found that my AS does not always start when I connect my JJ to may laptop.
Edit: I am not using USB2 connectors, not sure why but I remember reading I should only use USB1 ports for AS...

I cannot copy a file ( movie, MP3, text file etc) directly from my PC to the SD card in the MDA. In Active Sync I should do this using the Explore button, but when I press it I get the following error: "Critical Communications Services have failed to start. Try resetting your Mobile Device and connect it again". Well, resetting and reconnecting doesn't work, reinstalling active sync doesn't work and opening the Mobile Device icon in my Windows Explorer on my pc gives the same error.
So now I have to copy each file into RAM first and then to my storage card, but since most avi files are too big for the RAM, this is not good enough. Does anyone know what causes the error and how I can fix it?
You didn't mentioned if the issue is related to a single SD or not.
If yes, perhaps a card format (eventually from Windows Mobile) may help...
Bye,
@ngel
do you have a firewall installed? did you set the right permissions for ActiveSync processes?
SD Card Locked?
Hello there
Have you set your SD card to 'Lock'? I have tried transferrring to and from the JAM without any issues so far using both Bluetooth and USB activesync.
Moreover you did mention that you are able to sync, so its not likely to be an activesync problem either. Finally, if you have a desktop firewall you should probably check the settings on that as well - you may have inadvertently (or knowingly) disabled filetransfers of certain types.
Cheers
Sands
It was the firewall...
Ok, I feel sooooo stupid right now!
Your remarks about the firewall triggered my memory, I use the Zonealarm firewall, and altough I had enabled internet access I had not enabled file transfer... After enabling that, I can now see the SD card in Explore. Thanks for your advice!
Cool
Good to hear that you've sorted it out. Funny I didnt have the issue with Zone Alarm or NIS, though...must check it out!
Cheers
Sands
The problem was related to the fact that I had not allowed Windows Explorer to access the internet. After I adjusted that, file transfer through Explorer is working fine. thanks for the advice!
Somebody has trouble with WM 2005, ActiveSync 4.0 (in PC) is working not stable or hanging all the time and me too- Magneto with WinXP SP2, office 2003 SP1.
In my experience some solution can be improved as following:
1. ActiveSync via IR - very sample but too slow
2. ActiveSync via Bluetooth - sample and fast
3. ActiveSync via USB, we need to do some steps
+ Turn off firewall of OS windows
+ Open network cards on your Himalaya:: Settings/ Connections/ Network cards
+ Click "Remote NDIS host" and you can see: Marked " Use specific IP addres"
+ Click " Use server-assigned IP address"
+ Click OK
+ Connect your device to PC, ActiveSync must be working at least in my case

You can try remove activesync 4.0 and reinstall again, reset PC, turn off firewall and reconnect.
the problem i have is with outlook and activesync. whenever i try and use activesync, it pops up with some dialog about outlook not being configured correctly. which is true, seeing as I DONT USE OUTLOOK FOR ANYTHING! so why is this happening? it's not even set to sync email as i dont use outlook!

I noticed the same problem with AS 4 - it would only synchronise Favourites and Files.
Read the error messages carefully and you will find one telling you to use the 'Detect & repair' option on Outlook. I did so and it synced properly.
It was when I went back to Outlook Express that I realised that my OE wasnt the default email client anymore - Outlook had taken over that function. I made OE the default client again and AS stopped synchronising - went back to the same old error.
From the above I can only conclude that AS4 will only synchronise with Outlook and not any other PIM programmes. It also requires Outlook to be your default email client if you want to sync - slimy lil microsoft trick.
If you have a firewall, you will also notice that ActiveSync tries to send out email messages - this is both annoying and scary. Who are these messages intended for - Microsoft? I have blocked AS4 from sending emails on my firewall, but I still have to do a 'detect and repair' which sets Outlook as the default email client everytime I want to sync...
Problemas with the activesync
I don´t know what happen with the activesync and w2005. I cannot synconize because a hardware happen in the device manager.

I got the same problem with my Win2003Server box.
If you are running XP then you need to apply Service Pack 2
If you are running 2003 then you need to apply Service Pack 1
Seems that these packs have files "netrndis.inf" and "Usb_Rndis.ndi" that fix our problem
If you will find these files could you pls send them here? I dont' have SP1 installed and cant find these anywhere ((
I can confirm this.
On my office notebook I don't have SP2 on XP and Activesync does not work via USB (Bluetooth works).
On my home PC I have SP2 on XP and Activesync works via USB.
I guess I have to try to get these files somehow.
Patric
Update: OK, I got netrndis, but I don't have usb_rndis...
Hi Patric,
Thanx for the file!!!
Can you also post: rndismpx.sys AND usb8023x.sys ?
So, hope we will find a solution for non-SPed WinXPs and maybe for non-SPed Win2003
Thx!
OK, the files are attached. Does this help? I'm still missing the USB_rndis.ndi file.
Cheers Patric

Thank you very much for the files! No need for the "usb_rndis.ndi"
It seems to be working on XP but not on my w2k3 box :-(((
Here what to do with files on XP:
1) Open "Drivers" subfolder in your ActiveSync folder (i.e., c:\program files\microsoft activesync\drivers)
2) Copy all three files there: netrndis.inf, rndismpx.sys & usb8023x.sys
3) Put your I-Mate to the cradle
4) When device installation wizard will ask you to proceed with Automatic or Manual installation you need to Choose "Manual". Then open your activesync's Drivers folder. Choose "Windows Mobile-based device" and wait until installation is finishes...
Good Luck!

Have no exact idea cause didn't have such, but try to:
1) Disable ALL possible firewalls
2) Make sure your current ActiveSync Partnership is not "Microsoft Exchange" and if it is, just delete current partnership and create a new one
3) Remove "Email" from your sync list?!
4) Remove "Favorites" from your sync list?!
thx..
but..I have no firewall turned on (i had only microsoft firewall, it's off)
I have never connected to an exchange server, my partnership in activesync is only with my pc.
I have reinstalled activesync, not useful
removing items could help.. i'll give it a try
i'm going to sleep for now, thanks..
I *think* longhorn is very nice, but i'll stay with xp
I copied everything and did the procedure... now I get the error message 'Device can not start (10)'...
Not successful yet...

No Progress what so ever!!
ActiveSycn 4.0 Works after all!!!
I fixed my ActiveSync USB problem...
I downloaded ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's web site and instlaled over current AS4.0.
When I placed my MDA2 on the cradle, the same problem persisted, so with the PDA still in the cradle I unplugged the USB connector and then connected it again but to another port. Now the system detected a "new" device and installed properly this time so now it works 100%.
I hope this procedure helps you too!
By the way, I'm on Win XP (no SP2) and USB 1.1
Best regards,
Rayan
Does the activesync 4 can sync WM2003SE? cuz i got problem saying that version incompatible..
Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?
You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..
I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?
Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.
I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.
i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

I using the Vista RTM and Office 2007 now, But I cann't sync the Contact and Calendar with my Dopod 838Pro. Because in the Sync Centre I only can sync with media in the setup.
May I know the Windows Mobile Device Center can support Outlook 2007?
Problem Fixed!!
After install the Beta 3 of Windows Mobile Device Center instead of the RTM, everything work and sync fine!
Are you able to now Sync media to the device (or, more specifically, the Storage Card in the device) via WMP? I was able to do this w/ AS 4.2 and WMP11, but seem to have lost that functionality in Vista w/ WMDC b3.
-Lee
Yes, I can do this with the Beta 3.
I have racked my brains trying to sync my media to the storage card.
I have Vista Business (volume license msdn subscription) and I sync everything fine with exchange etc, but I havent found any option to sync music to the storage card, only phone memory.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ronny
i have this problem too on two vista machines with my 8125. i can't figure out what is the problem. its really making me mad!!!
In regards to WMDC, the official release WMDC 6 is out now for download.
Also, in regards to syncing music to the sd card, you have disable advanced network functionality in your pda USB option to see you Sd card via media player on your pc (problem is, without the advanced checked on, transfer rates are as slow as a floppy drive)
My 8525 has a Schaps ROM on it, and it will not sync with ActiveSync.
The phone will charge from USB, but when plugged in I get no error, no event or anything that the PC has noticed a device has been connected.
I have tried multiple USB cables, mulitple USB ports, multiple PCs, uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync 4.5.
I also have the settings for Advanced Network Features in the USB to PC settings unchecked.
Any ideas?
Did you check you connection settings in AS 4.5 as per attached, specifically ALLOW USB CONNECTIONS? Also, Windows Firewall or your AV may block the TCP ports used by AS4.5 (if using the advanced network stuff - RNDIS).
On the phone side, if your partnership with the PC was already created, Did you try sync via Bluetooth? Does it work? You can also try WM5Storage or Cardexport just to test the USB port is working.
I havent tried those programs you were referring to, are the free?
From Windows Firewall I manually set all of the UDP and TCP ports to be allowed as well as all of the executables needed for ActiveSync.
I have also tried using all of the COM settings from the connection settings within ActiveSync and it is still a no go.
Aside from this I am thinking it may be a hardware issue...
Are you using XP or Vista? There are extra things you need to do to sync properly with vista. do a search on the forum.

Also with vista after syncing you will not notice contacts or address book being copied from your device. It only syncs any files. Please correct me if i am wrong.
When i was using xp, after a sync all my contacts will be copied inside the contacts in my outlook in the pc but now in vista, even after it informs a successful sync I dont see any contacts getting copied into the outlook. Then in some forums and google I have seen people mention that the new mobile device center for vista doesnt support the contacts and calendar sync...tell me i am correct pls
Sorry sany, Can't tell what I don't know. I use XP (microsoft would have to pay me to use Vista). I just read about all the problems syncing with vista. I believe theres a fix floating around the forum but don't know anymore than that.
Cheers...
Hi Vasichko,
I'm assuming you are working with XP or lower (not Vista). Try this:
goto:"File>Connection Settings" in Activsync and make sure "Allow USB Connection is set. Then reconnect your device. If that doesn't work:
goto "Settings>Connection>USB to PC>Extended Network Functions Activated" on you Hermes and uncheck the box. Perform a soft reset and try to sync. if that doesn't work try:
http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe This program makes sure your device knows what to do when the USB is connected.
If that doesn't work I'm out of guesses.
Cheers

That's correct. If it says true, then it worked. If that hasn't solved the problem and you've done the rest above then I would try re-installing the OS via SD. Check the wiki for instructions.

Ok so I have reinstalled with a new ROM from the SD card and it still will not notice that I have plugged the 8525 into my PCs.
I can use the OEM headseat without issues and it charges fine.
Anyone know what's going on?
Hello Vasichko:
1. Did you try running the Astu.exe program in the ActiveSync folder? What was the result?
2. Did you manage to transfer files to/from the PC with Cardexport or WM5Storage? If so, then your hardware is OK.
3. Could you find and attach the following file from your PC:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME OR PROFILE NAME\Local Settings\Temp\WCESCOMM.LOG Let's look at that and go from there.
4. It could be an IP address issue...but you did uncheck the Advanced Network Functionality in the settings menu...right?
PS,
Are you using the original USB Cable? Can you try another cable?
With ASTU.exe it tells me that I must connect the device to troubleshoot and it doesnt find any other issues.
In the WCESCOMM.LOG it has the following:

Slightly off-topic but I think it can sync and exchange with Outlook but I think it needs to be Outlook 2007 or later. As to getting Sync with Vista I had no trouble at all on Vista HP x64.
To the OP it sounds like something simple as others have already suggested and is most likely just a matter of correcting USB settings.
I have turned off the advanced functionality in USB to PC settings.
I have tried 4 different USB cables and uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync on 2 different laptops that it used to sync with.
Look in the Device Manager with phone connected and see if it has the HTC USB Hub at the end, like mine. If it's not there... then:
1. Disconnect any other USB device in the computer and reboot the PC.
2. Check your CMOS setup (when rebooting) to see if they are enabled. Some CMOS chips have an option for disabling COM / USB ports.
3. Make sure Activesync is running on the phone.
4. Look into \Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\Drivers. It should like like my folder - pic attached.
You haven't said if WM5Storage or Cardexport work (i.e. Windows detects a mass storage device).
What is WM5Storage or Cardexport? Do these run on the 8525?
I dont see a HTC USB Hub when connecting the HTC.
