No USB connectivity

Hi all,
Something bad has happened to my Magician. I had a hard reset a few days ago and now when I try to connect it to my PC using USB, it connects to ActiveSync for a second or two and then immediately disconnects. I have so much stuff on my phone to transfer and sync but its impossible now.
I've tried re-installing activesync and my PPC several times but it doesn't help. It doesn't ask me to establish a new partnership, but instead, establishes the connection for a few seconds as guest.
I tried connecting my PPC to another computer and there it works perfetly fine.
Please help!
Have you tried updating your active sync s/ware?
Lest version is 4.1 available here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3f-79d5-4012-8793-d2d180a42dfa&DisplayLang=en
Possible it has been corrupted so upgrade may sort it

PLEASE HELP - NO GPRS OR ACTIVE SYNC!

Hi
A good few weeks back I had a problem with my wifi card. I own the O2 XDA Mini and the card is an SD one. It had been working fine, then all of a sudden it just stopped working. When I plugged it in, the screen came on but the LED on the card did not light, meaning it is not working.
Anyway, when the card is plugged in, everything freezes. I have been trying to get this sorted with the manufacturer who said hard reset and reinstall with a new driver.
Now, I was going to update my ROM so thought would do it all at the same time. The one thing I also had a problem with was all of a sudden my GPRS as well as my active sync comp connection did not work. Could not connect for unknown reason with GPRS and
"cannot start communications with the desktop computer. remote networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 608).
Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer" comes up when I try to connect to comp.
Anyway, after the hard reset and ROM update, it worked, GPRS and activesync. Then I tried the new drivers for my wireless card and plugged it in. The same thing happened - screen froze and I lost my GPRS and active sync again!!
Now I have tried everything I know. I have been in contact with XDA but they have not replied yet.
Can anyone please help me as I dont want to do a hard reset again!
PS - I have tried uninstalling WLAN software, but it part fails due to one of the files being in use. I deleted that file manually but still no luck. I thought maybe comms is being taken up by the WLAN card and thats y i have other connection probs???
Thanks

USB connection problem

After upgrading to ATT WM6, I am receiving a USB device not recognized more often than not when I try to sync via Activesync. I tried resetting, restarting the phone and/or computer. Advanced network option on phone USB to PC connection is off. Any ideas? Thanks.
WM6 & Firewall
When I upgraded - my firewall was not happy anymore. Try killing your firewall, deleting any previous settings in your sync center for the device, than reconnect it.
Still problems with USB, Activesync 4.5 and WIN XP
I reinstalled usb drivers, activesync, and reset the phone but no dice getting the computer to recognize the phone. It will briefly but activesync never gets rolling before it drops.
Im currently having an issue where I plug my phone into USB on its cradle, and it connects ok, but after about 30-60 seconds it disconnects and reconnects. Very annoying.
However, BEFORE I got to THIS point, when I plugged my phone into USB from a hard reset (actually a replacement phone) it would just say a USB device has malfunctioned and has not been recognised, or something like that. I finally got round it by disabling the advanced usb networking functionality as you said you tried - but I noted that it only actually worked after a hard reBOOT. i.e. after switching OFF advanced networking, the effect of doing so didn't become apparent until I had rebooted the phone - at this point it recognised it, installed the drivers and Vista Windows Update went and upgraded all the drivers.
Now I just cant get it to stay connected for more than 30 seconds or so :/
Hard reset did the trick.
Thanks for that pearl.

Firstly, what operating system are you using on your PC?
Secondly, have you tried deleting the sync partnership on both your phone and the PC and recreating it?
Thirdly, try and connect your phone directly to the USB root hub on your PC and not via a hub.
The fact that the HD2 is identifying the physical connection suggest the problem may lie at the PC end. Recreating the sync partnership is probably all that's needed.
Hello
If you are using Vista or Win7 you need to download Microsoft Mobile Device Manager to get a successful connection. Once you download this and install all will be good.
There is an option (can´t remember where) where you can disable fast link for ActiveSync.
This fast option has created me a lot of problem.
i'm using win7, i reinstalled the mobile device.
If i disable enable faster data sync then I can sync the phone with the computer but if I enable faster data sync then the 3G band auto enables...
I have just in the last weekend somehow lost the ability to connect to any computer. I have an activesync connection with work and a connection via hsdpa to the server too, and then one via wmdc on my vista home computer.
All has been going swimmingly until the weekend when I noticed that it had stopped synching new appointments.
The computers (both) now no longer even detect the phone, although it does charge via the usb cables.
The settings are still set to sync on the phone (as opposed to say disk drive).
I've tried a bunch of things, and now annoyingly, have hard reset the phone, but no joy!! Now I have the joy of setting everything back up again... But still no synchronising with the computer.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Did you reboot the PC? I occassionaly have problems with activesync stopping working suddenly. It doesn't really like being unplugged sometimes and get's a bit ansy about it. I've found that sometimes a soft reset of the phone does it, but sometimes I need to reboot the PC.
I hope you did try rebooting the PC before you did a hard reset. At least you wouldn't have wasted your time with having to set up your phone again!
Yes did indeed! Restarted both. But the fact that it's affecting 2 computers suggests to me that it's something wrong with the phone, and not computers themselves.
HTC haven't been any help as yet - just haven't responded to my requests.

The fact that it still doesn't work after a hard reset leaves me at a loss!
You're telling me!
Before anyone asks also, I've tried different cables and different usb ports on both computers too.
Any other thoughts out there? I'm starting to think now it's something inside the phone - i.e. the usb port?
Fixed for me!
After having sent off the phone to HTC, it was repaired in 8 days and that was sending it to and from Sweden to the UK!
Turns out the usb connector in the phone itself was not working. 10/10 for HTC repair service!
If you use the XPP OS.
You must select ‘To enable faster data synchronization’ (i dont konw how to translated that, sorry my English.) under the ActiveSyuc.
If you use the Vista OS.
You dont select this option otherwise you cannt connect you phone to computer.
me too,..i can't connect with my pc... my computer show me found new hardware & need 2 install driver,...tell me what kind of driver need...? thank!!!

I had the same problem and 'solved' it by trying every other USB port, and (of course) the last one did it correctly.

To make Active Sync work
Turn off Setup\other\USB to PC\ActiveSync Enable Faster Data Synchronization
The all will be ok
SOLVED!! Joy, joy, happiness glow... . I removed AVG 9.0, restarted, reinstalled WMDC and the driver (all of which installed automatically when I plugged my HD2 in to the USB port), and reinstalled AVG 9.0 and… Voila, MAGIC! I had AVG configuered correctly to allow WMDC to make connections and pass through the antivirus, but I still had to uninstall it to get the driver to install. Sometimes antiviruses are stubborn!
hi i had the same problem try this go to settings on your phone all settings connections usb to pc and uncheck the fast sync box if that dont work theirs an option that is somewhere on your pc where you can choose the pc to search for an update driver for that device

I tried BOTH of those options prior to uninstalling AVG and no joy. Bytheway, I've switched to Microsoft Security Essentials and still have to uninstall MSE everytime I flash my HD2! UGH!

ActiveSync not working (all of a sudden)

Hi All
I searched the Forum but couldn't find a solution to this problem.
1. Came back form holiday yesterday - synced up my HD" with Outlook no problem
2. Tried to do it this morning. By the normal 'connect PC' option didn't come up and activsync icon didn'tr light up on PC
3. Rebooted HD2 and PC..no change
4. Tried to repair/reinstall activ sync, but towards the end of the repair it says 'there was a network error reading from file 'setup/msi'. Guessing that the file may be corrupt, I downloaded it again..same problem..so I can't repair or reinstall
5. There is definitely a connection of some sort as the HD2 begins to charge when connected
Bottom line is that the HD2 is not syncing - and I can't figure out why not.
Any advice appreciated...
Thanks
Do you have a Norton (Symantec) firewall installed? I’ve found that the Norton product can interfere with ActiveSync.
Active Sync not working
Good point..but no. I have AVG installed (and everything was working OK yesterday)
Spooky thing is, I have managed to uninstal, reinstal and reboot..and it still won't show that it's connected with AS even though there is a connection of some kind, cos the device is charging.
Steve
ActiveSync is just a bit crap. It'll do this occassionaly, so if you use it a lot then get used to it.
A restart of the phone, whilst the USB cable is not plugged in, usually does the trick. Only plug it in again when it's fully started.
Also, try setting the AS connection to not allow USB connections, unplugging and plugging back in, and then setting it to once again allow USB connections.
Just messing with it like that usually works for me. Like I said, it's just a bit crap.
Activ Sync
Yeah, I seem to recall I had this problem a while back - I'll faff around with the settings and see if it makes a difference

Well if johncmolyneux's suggestions don't work then try disconnecting your phone from the PC, restarting both, disconnecting the PC from the network, disabling the firewall element of AVG (if it has one) and then connecting the phone to the PC again.
If that doesn't work I can only suggest removing ActiveSync, totally shutting down your PC, starting up, then re-installing ActiveSync.
I had a similar problem but I was able to narrow it down to Norton in the end but it's a real pain when you don't know why it won't work.
Good luck with this.
I also occasionally was not able to connect with Active Sync, but rebooting the HD2 always fixes that issue. You said that this did not helped you, so try messing with the settings on Active Sync, like johncmolyneux said, also try when plug the usb cable into the device by default it asks you what kind of connection you're establishing (Active sync, data transfer and internet sharing) - try using data transfer, if it connects, unplug and connect it again, this time use active sync.
Reinstall activsync and Try to disable faster data Synchonization on HD2
Active Sync not working (solved)
That'll teach me to not check the obvious! - It turned out that the cable had developed a fault. I changed the cable and it's now OK.
Case closed.
Steve
