Trinity vs Vista

My Vista PC cant find HTC P3600 (or Qtek S200).
Had XP on the same PC, no problem.
Other USB items connects fine.
Any tips?

Sync problems in Vista
The reason for your problem is that the RTM version of Vista don't have Windows Mobile Device Center included because it was still in beta. To get the latest beta available download it from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I have no problem to sync my P3600 on Vista with the beta software.

In addition to sync/exchange files, which worked even without the above mentioned software, as it will see the Trinity as just another USB memory (drive letter) device, you'll need this beta software to install/add any non-cab file based programs on the Trinity.

So you guys can Sync files and outlook in Vista?
I have the Mobile Device Centre Beta 3 installed for use with my 6828 and all I get is Sync my media files.
Anyone else experienced problems with not being able to sync outlook data or being able to install programs?

Yes, I had a lot of problems getting the partnership with P3600 working. I was trying to pair it via Bluetooth, but that didn't work either. I then tried installing some Toshiba bluetooth drivers for my Dell TrueMobile BT, that installation failed but somehow Vista recovered by reinstalling its own BT-drivers and after that I got a perfect ActiveSync connection over Bluetooth.
Every now and then I get some sync errors, and most of the time these are solved by closing Outlook 2007 and then resyncing (which starts Outlook in a hidden thread). Rebooting the notebook helps also of course.

I've Vista too and my trinity was recognized automatically. The only problem is that i can't install application by Mobile Device Center because every program ask me to install Active Sync 4.2 but Vista not permit to install any release of active sync.

WMDC and 8125

I cannot seem to get my 8125 to sync with windows mobile device center in Vista. I have tried both bluetooth and usb cable, and I have turned off Windows Firewall.
When I connected it via the cable, the only thing that installed and appeared my device manager was a Smartphone USB Sync under mobile devices. I have read other people are getting a windows mobile device under portable devices, among other things.
When I try connecting via bluetooth, Activesync just does not show up when I pair my phone and my computer as a service.
Are there drivers I can get from somewhere, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!

You have to update the WMDC in vista inorder to sync. Had the same problem me self.. kinda crazy if u ask me eh...

I know it has been a long time but I have wmdc 6.1 and an 8125 with the most recent HTC cingular rom. How do I get bluetooth sync working? My activesync on my phone says that the service is not installed and I am kind of stuck there.
A ton of google searches have illicited no help. I figurd I would try here...
I am paired properly with the laptop as I am able to use the modem as DUN and get internet working with no problems. I cant seem to get the device center to recognize the phone for syncing my outlook with bluetooth.

Same boat
I am right there with you man. I have tried everything and still no joy. I am going to try and up date my bluetooth software and try it out. I'll let you know if it works for me.

I did it!!
Ok the key is to use the same Comm port in WMDC that the wizard uses. For example try to set up a bluetooth partnership with your PC via your wizard. When you see a popup on your desktop that you wizard is trying to connect make a not on which Comm port it is trying to use. (for me it was COM4.) from there go into your setting in WMDC and check the second box to allow the wizard to use differant ports. Select your port and click ok. You should be good to go. Let me know if that did or didn't work for you. Best of luck!

help me. I can't hotsync my htc tytn with my windows xp

I have a new htc tytn that I'm trying to hotsync with my notebook vaio, with a windows xp, but I don't get it. The computer dont recognize the device (it shows "not connected", despite the connection by a USB cable. I did all the recomendations of the guide book, but it did'nt work. Anyone have any idea?

find the usb to pc icon
find the usb to pc icon
it is either in settings/connections or in settings/system in most of the roms I have seen.
open it up and see if the box is check for advanced network functionality. If so, uncheck it. That has had to be changed for all Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 devices I have had, then activesync started working.

try active synch 4.5
You can also download ActiveSynch 4.5 if you have WM6/6.1.

hotsync is for palm based devices....

Hermes unable to sync and run out of idea

I know this may sounds like the usual not unchecking the advanced network tick box but I promise I've tried everything to get my hermes to sync and it won't
situation is I've upgraded to a 6.1 ROM and WMDC (Vista Ultimate 32) says connecting (the device is installed on first connection) and then as it gets to the point where it would normally ask you to set up the partnership, it goes back to not connected. The phone has the two arrows still there like it is connected.
I've ruled out most things and have been trawling around the forums but I've just reached a dead end.
I don't think it's the USB as it does the same thing with bluetooth.
I don't think it's the computer because I recently changed my machine (same OS though)
I don't think it's the phone because it's actually a replacement after my screen broke on my original
I even don't think it's the ROM because no one else has this trouble in the thread ([20755] [OPTIMIZED Manilla2d IS HERE!][09/29](AlmostNak3d)(V8))
I've also tried uninstalling WMDC as much as is possbile on Vista and I've tried disabling the windows firewall
It's so frustrating, as I seem to have 6.0 working no probs but that ROM is just so good I have to have it (but with some contacts would be best)
The only thing that I can think of is that I flash the ROMS through an XP machine. This can't be causing the issue can it?
Any help gratefully received. I determined that this phone stays with me until the HD comes out and it really doesn't have long to go now

no one have any suggestions
(or did i post this in the wrong forum)?

Have you tried deleting all partnerships on the phone and computer and then tried to sync it. I have the same rom as you and device and i have problems only when i try to sync via bluetooth. Check the com port for the bluetooth is not conflicting with the WMDC. You could even try disabling the bluetooth comport and see if that makes a difference
If it syncs with an xp machine, why dont you try, exporting the contacts as comma seperated values(windows) and then import them on to the xp machine, at least that way you will have your contacts on the phone.
Also why do you flash with the xp machine and not vista, have you installed all updates in vista?

thanks for the reply SM. Sorry for the delay in my response but I've been sunning in the maldives! I got things going before leaving (so i had some contacts) by doing pretty similar to what you suggested. I sync the xp machine with the vista machine and then sync the phone with the xp machine. I've tried deleting the partnerships on both sides (i've even tried reinstalling vista) but I'll give the removing of the bt com ports a go i think.
my flashing from xp was just a historic thing. i think there may have been an issue with vista once as i was staying away from it for some reason but after my previous post i actually think i did then flash from vista

Upgrade with vista?
Upgrade with vista? its posible I think it has issues...
I can recomend to you...
1.- download again the usb drivers for your Motherboard on XP machine...
2.- Even if you have Windows Vista you can aquire a XP emulator for Win vista and do these things.
3.- If you dont ant to install again the drivers for USB ports so....
restart your PC and your PPC witout unplug your PPC let it boots togheter... it fix my trouble with the same ROM you have...

[Q] ActiveSync 4.5 not starting

Hi Gents,
Just bought HTC HD mini (WM 6.5). Tried to connect to my laptop (running WinXP SP3) via ActiveSync 4.5 but nothing happened.
Firewall is opened for ActiveSync and all other possible rechecks which found on other forums were done.
Nothing...
Any ideas?

In Settings-More-Connections-USB to PC disable Fast data sync.

Done.
Nothing changes...

Make a soft reset and deactivate any firewall or/and antivirus from your pc.

Still nothing, but on HTC Task Manager ActiveSync is shown as Mem 932k CPU 0%.

Have you tried all the USB sockets on the PC? Mine will only connect to a Dell PC at work on the sockets at the rear of the PC, not the front mounted ones.
I think it is a power issue, IE not enough power is available from the front sockets. Though I could be wrong...

In ActiveSync you'd enable the USB-port And, when your device is connected into USB, you'd select "ActiveSync Sync with outlook" on your device. To be able to select that option you have to unlock your device. Good luck

Udated ROM to 1.36.479.1 then successfully synchronized at home where I have Win7. After connecting at work with WinXP SP3 via ActiveSync 4.5 all runned well.
But now my HTC HD mini can't find bluetooth headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205 which before ROM update work well. Other bluetooth devices are shown but not bluetooth headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS205.

Clear now... Just was necessary to reset headset.
