hello all,
After the installation of ActiveSync, i insert the usb cable to laptop and put the Xda II on cradle, the ActiveSync in computer couldn't find any device (Xda II) and i can't setup the partnership, however, my Xda II display the "connected" only for 2 seconds and then interrupt for ever, i have installed the ActiveSync many times and hardreset the XdaII, but it is still not connected, what's wrong with this? :?: :?: :?:
When the xda 2 is first plugged into usb you should get a message on your laptop screen saying device found htc etc, once this is done activesync should see it. Which version of activesync are you using?
I tried the ActiveSync 3.7 and ActiveSync 3.8, the results are same. The laptop can find the USB, but the ActiveSync can't find the XdaII.
Idea
I am assuming Active Sync works on other computers?
If you are using XP,
Make sure the device is plugged in.
Open up task manager, (Ctr + Alt + Del), go to processes and end task on WCESMgr.exe and or wcescomm.exe.
Right click on My Computer, select Manage. Expand Device manager, Windows CE USB Devices, right click on PocketPC USB Sync and Uninstall, click Yes.
If you see any devices with an explanation point or marked Red, Uninstall them too.
Unplug your device.
Open up Active Sync, under the settings, make sure USB is checked.
Plug in your device.
I have seen this happen if windows did not configure the device properly at first.
As a thank you for my time, send me naked photos of your wife!!! KIDDING!!!! :shock:
Thanks for your help, i have done this by following what you said, but it is still not connected. When the laptop find the Device USB first time, the XDAII just display the "connected" for 1&2 seconds. I click the "Error" on XDAII, which is Synchronize with Server, then it displays:
The connection failed due to mising server information or user credentials. Tap Options, and then the Server tab to verify that your server name is correct. Then, tap'Optaions..." to verrify that your user credentials are correct and try again.
I haven't changed ther Server Synchronization in "Option", and my laptop doesn't need any user name and password to logon.
What's wrong with this? How to set up the "Option" in XDAII?
DUDE!!!
It is hella confusing.. BUT... You do not use the Server setting.
I use the Server setting but I have my own Exchange server 2003 and using Exchange Server 2003 Mobile Services, I have my Contacts, Calendar and Inbox always up to date via the Internet, (I have unlimited Internet through T-Mobile for $19 a month).
You need only to use the PC synchronization. Open Active sync, Tools, Options, Options again and check to make sure it is checked and USB is selected, OK, make sure the other two are "Ticked" as well, OK.. Then try.
This Time I only want naked photos of your DOG!!! :lol: :shock:
There should be some problems with laptop, because everthing is ok when i connect my XDA with other PCs. I can't find what problem is with my laptop. It is running Windows XP professional edition.
Darge, this isnt going to sound very logical, but if you have more than one usb port, please try the other port, I have had similar problems with activesync whic have been resolved by doing this, dont ask me why because i dont know.
May be should try othe type of connection other than USB. Try using either bluetooth or wifi. May be you should search in the forum regarding connection using bluetooth or wifi.
My Xda and laptop are connected and working very well after i reinstalled the Windows XP for my laptop. It was the stupid and only way what i could do, because i have tried all kinds of solutions which were not useful.
Thanks a lot for your advice and help anyway. 8)
Hi!
I just got a mda compact (my first ppc) and tried to get it run with activesync. but my pc just wont find the ppc. i deactivated all firewalls, etc. but that didnt help. i also did some resets on both pc and ppc, but it didnt help either. what am i doing wrong?? do i have to run activesync on my mdac when trying to connect?
it is bizarre, but the ppc-led is turning orange when plugging the usb-cable... is it possible, that activesync needs a special network-link to the ppc? my one and only network connection is the one to my internet router...
i also tried older activesync versions, but that doesnt help....
has anyone an idea?? i would warmly welcome one....... need help!
greetings

I'd try the 4.5 beta I find this better than the current release. Install the SW with the phone disconnected and connect when prompted.
Soft reset the phone before you start.
When the phone is first connected windows should detect it as new hardware and install drivers
I prefer to avoid beta versions. Check under Connection Settings and make sure that Allow USB connections is checked.
where do i find the connection settings? i'm using win mobile 2003se...
in my settings->connections tab, i dont find any sort of "allow usb connections"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its on the properties/settings of your activesync on your computer...
hope this helps...
Hi,
I can't sync with my computer (using USB cradle) anymore. When I put my smartphone into the cradle, my computer detects it (USB connecting sound) and the MDA opens a window "Connect to" (Status: Connecting to host) which disappears. Then nothing happens. ActiveSync on computer (v4.5) says No connection.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
SOLUTION:
- Activate "USB To PC" in Settings, Connections
(- install Active Sync 4.5 on PC; check firewall settings)
Still nothing
Tried all that. Still doesn't work.
Using Virtual PC with XP on a Powerbook. Will sync fine with Missing Sync on the Mac, but WinDoze won't go. Keep getting an error 10: "device cannot start".
What does this mean"

Thank you, I've been trying for ages to get this working, I was convinced it was my firewall, but seems I had my phone set up wrong all along
hello friends
i am using WM5 (AKA 3.3 by jiggs custom ROM) on my XDA ATOM
i am not able to use my phone for internet sharing via USB but can use it via BT PAN. if gives a error "cannot connect for unknown reason"
i have disabled the activesync.
also whenever i connect my PDA to system it takes it on LAN of 10Mbps so i disabled the advanced connectivity. after this is asks for the windows CE drives but is not able to find it on net also after searching.
i have tried using HTC usb modem drivers but it gives a error that the inf file does not contain any info about the device.
please help me what to do??
i also want to know that can i increase the speed of the connection B/w pda and PC from 10Mbps to 100 Mbps as this is very slow for transferring large data.
thanks in advance
Check usb cable connection solution!!!!!!
I have been having this same problem for weeks. When I first startted using the Internet Sharing App on my kaiser, it worked great. But one day it just stopped. The status just always saud "Check Usb Cable Connection" even though it synced up fine with active sync. Well after weeks of lookinf for a solution, I found it!!!!!!
I am running windows XP pro SP2 and WM 6.1 HTC official. After you have active sync turned off and you connect the cable, make sure you are using USB and Media Net and hit connect and it still keeps saying "Check USB....".
With it still plugged in, on your PC RIGHT CLICK on my computer >> properties >> Hardware Tab >> Device Manager. Expand Network Adapters. You should see Windows Mobile-based Device with a red X on it. Double click it. The device usage box at the bottom was set to "Do not use this device (disable)". Change it to "Use this device (enable) and click ok.
And your status on your phone should change from "Check usb cable connection" to "Connected" and ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO!!!
I did not disable this option I do not know how it got disabled since this is on my pc at work, but it work as it did before.
Hello,
I'm trying to connect my htc tytn (official htc wm6 rom) to my pc (vista ultimate sp1, wmdc 6.1, all fully updated), but fail to get the usb connection to work.
In the device manager, a device called "Windows mobile remote adapter" is added, but it carries an exclamation mark. The message is that the driver failed to load for this device (so wmdc never even gets to see the device).
Following what I found on the forum, I tried to disable the "advanced network" in the "usb to pc" section of the communications settings of the tytn. I can uncheck the box, but when I click OK it just reports: "failed to unload rndis to use serial connection"; next time is it checked again.
A bluetooth connection to synchronize with my vista works flawless.
How can I get the usb to work?
(I've tried everything apart from hard resetting the phone, but that is my last resort as it takes some time to configure it completely)
Thanks!
