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

I have had no success syncing my Dopod D810 with my Vista Home Premium computer. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling WMDC, changing the USB-PC connection option, USB points of connection ~ all to no avail. Although my Dopod is recognised as a HTC USB Sync in device manager, WMDC will not show it connected (though the 'more connections' option reveals device connected)and i cannot see it in explorer etc.
One thing I have noticed is that on the Dopod an advice page occasionly (generally after installing WMDC and reconnecting) appears from ActiveSync saying that i need to install activesync on the computer to sync this device. Then occasionly ActiveSync remains active after i have disconnected the device.
Could someone please assist me with this problem
I had a similiar problem, not sure if this will help but I had to manually disable ActiveSync and make sure it was disabled when I plugged in my phone.
If it's detecting as HTC USB Sync in device manager, I think it might be connecting in the wrong mode. You sure you have the "allow advanced connections" box ticked in the usb / pc section in settings?
RaindancerAU, thx for the reply,
Tried the 'Enable advanced network functionality' check box, but no better, no connected icon on Dopod, and no recognition of connection from computer. Uncheck box, and HTC USB sync starts, but WMDC not connected. Dopod also shows error that 'to connect you must install Activesync 4.1 or higher on the desktop computer.
As an aside, I have been able to sync this Dopod perfectly with a Windows XP machine elsewhere in the house.
Frustrates the h*ll out of me!
Did this tip helps

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!
Jörg
Does anyone know why in Windows 7 it will not recognize my phone through usb, and cannot send files to it through bluetooth. but the phone can send to the pc.
Any suggestions?
Much appreciated

For the ActiveSync problem :
[IN PC]Start WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center)
Move your mouse to "Mobile Device Settings"
Click "Connection Settings"
Check "Allow USB connections"
Check "Allow automatic device authentication"
Check "Allow data connection on device when connected to PC.
OK
[IN HERMES]
Try enabling or disabling "Advanced network functionality"(Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC), don't forget to tap OK, to apply the new setting.
NOTE : Do that when the Hermes NOT connected to the PC!
For bluetooth problem :
Make sure your PC is in "discoverable mode"
I hope I can help you, thanks..

Patrick: I wonder how these options could have become disabled on a clean WMDC install?
thc2010: You say your phone is not being recognized over USB. Have you installed WMDC manually?
BTW Bluetooth connectivity has nothing to do with WMDC, inability to send files from PC to phone is most likely related to Bluetooth security settings (try to enable phone discovery via Bluetooth - but make sure to disable it when you're done with transferring files!)
I'm trying to use the factory installed Internet Sharing (not the new HTC Wifi Router, not WMWifirouter, just the regular factory installed Internet Sharing) to get internet access on my PC via USB (not Bluetooth).
I've spent hours and hours reading and trying different things but it still does not work. Can someone please explain the settings they used to get this to work?
Settings for Active Sync?
Settings for Network Connections on PC?
Settings on phone?
I have tried all possible combinations of settings and am absolutely STUMPED. I'd appreciate ANY help.
FYI: My PC's running XP
EDIT:
So, I got the Internet Sharing to work and just wanted to share what I learned in case it helps someone else. I'm using the HD with stock WM 6.1 and a PC running XP with Active Sync 4.5.
My problem was that even after applying all the correct settings, Internet Sharing was never able to establish a connection (it kept saying "check USB connection"). I noticed in my PC under My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager that there was an exclamation point beside the phone network adapter, so I updated/uninstalled/reinstalled the driver with no success. This driver is normally automatically installed when you first install Active Sync and create a partnership with your phone, so then I decided to uninstall and reinstall Active Sync and then created a new partnership with my phone (I didn't have to worry about losing any of my synced contacts, notes, calender, texts, etc because I also sync with Microsoft MyPhone, which I highly recommend). Afterwards, I disconnected my phone from the PC and closed Active Sync. Then I used the following settings/steps and Internet Sharing worked flawlessly.
Here are the settings I used:
-in Active Sync: unchecked "allow usb connection", unchecked "allow connections to one of the following", "this computer is connected to" set to automatic, checked "open active sync when my device connects", checked "allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
-in PC: disable Windows Firewall and all other 3rd party firewalls
-in PC internet explorer: set LAN settings to "automatically detect settings" (in Firefox under Tools>Options>Advanced>Network>Settings set to "auto detect")
-in phone: under Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC checked "Active Sync", unchecked "enable faster data synchronization", checked "ask me first about UBS connection type when I connect the device to the PC"
With these settings:
-connect your phone to PC (on phone, dialog box should appear showing Active Sync checked, USB unchecked, Internet Sharing unchecked)
-nothing should happen at this point
-then in phone, launch Internet Sharing, set PC Connection to "USB", set Network Connection to whatever data network your phone uses, then press "connect" (the status will change from "disconnected" to "check USB connection"); wait about 15-20 seconds while your PC reacts (it takes this long only the first time you connect because the PC is installing the appropriate drivers)
-the Internet Sharing status should change to "connected" and now you can use the internet on your PC through the data connection on your phone. So simple if everything works properly.
FYI:
-if you go back to PC under My Computer>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager you will see your phone network adapter (no longer with an exclamation point) called "Windows Mobile-based Internet Sharing Device"
-f you go to PC Network Connections you will see your new phone LAN connection
-if your phone falls asleep while connected, the internet connection does NOT get interrupted; I also received a text while it was connected with no problem
To Disconnect Internet Sharing:
-close all browsers, press disconnect on your phone, then unplug your phone from the PC
-you can now turn active sync back on by checking "allow usb connection" and turn your PC firewalls back on
Wow, sorry so long, hope it helps someone.

If your trying to do this at work, there is most likely a firewall setup so this wouldn't be possible unless your knew access codes etc for firewall
If this is with your home pc, when connecting pc to HD using usb you should automatically be presented with a synchronization screen from activesync for setting up a connection. Ensure you select 'allow wireless data connections on your device while it is connected to your computer' before finishing
And also :-
On the Touch HD
Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC
Check Activesync and uncheck "enable faster data synchronisation"
Spent a couple of hours trying to connect before I did this.
Hope this works for you.

Thanks guys for your responses.
I've already tried each one of those things. I'm at home with firewall disabled, have the correct boxes checked in Active Sync, have the correct connection settings on the phone, etc. I've tried all possible combinations.
When I go to My Computer/Properties/Hardware/Device Manager I even see the phone Network Adapter but it has an exclamation point beside it. So I try to update/uninstall/reinstall the driver and it still doesn't work. Do I need to manually install different USD Modem drivers?? This doesn't seem right because these drivers should automatically be installed when I installed Active Sync.
I'm gonna try to update everything e.g. xp service pack and uninstall/reinstall Active Sync, etc. Hopefully after all of that it will work.
