Can no longer Explore PPC through Active Synch

Not sure what I did or what I installed but I can no longer click the Explore button on the Active Synch toolbar and explore the files within the phone/storage card from my desktop PC...any ideas on what brings back that functionality?

If you've got any software firewalls installed on your PC, including the builtin windows one, then try temporarily disabling it and see if you can Explore you PDA then.

Tried turning off the firewall and no luck...anyone else have an idea?

Try reinstall activesync on your pc.
Last time I have this problem with activesync v4.1. I install activesync v4.2 beta, and problem solved.

Any one successed to syncing with Vista RTM??

Although it was working with RC2, strangely, it doesn't with RTM, the driver is installed but only the file transfere is working. I can see an icon of my JJ in computer (ex. my computer) and when click on it, i can browse the JJ ram and the storage card only, but there is no any syncing capabilities. Any one has an idea about that problem. May i am going to try the old RC1 trick:

Still there is no respoonse after 26 viewers, does this mean that there is no one has installed the new vista RTM release or I am asking a selly question?

Yes, I synced my HERMES with http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6a-a72d-4aef-9663-31ce2fefbada&DisplayLang=en this tool, but sometimes don't, lot of crashes...

Just have a try:
disable any Anti-Virus and Firewall softwares.

I tried downloading the sync tools beta, but fiind it hangs outlook (2007).
I'm going to give it a try just running wirelessly and see how I get on.

The same don't know why it's not working...

I tried it, it worked, thanks. The difference is that i followed the trick mentioned above also, i added the registery key WHOS, then installed the WMDC beta program, so, will try to use the WMDC program only without the registery in another installation.

Now I sync 95% of times, I just unchecked in settings-> connections->USB to PC-> use enhanced USB

I have managed to get it working after having reflashed the rom on my phone (probably not required) and re-installing the Windows Mobile Device Centre beta 3.
I think the trick is to make sure your phone can connect to Vista OK before you install the WMDC software and then install the software with the phone connected.
Good luck

Are you also able to flash / upgrade the phone using Vista RTM and MDC beta 3? I'm not

Cant connect to AS 4.5

First of all i really want to thank all the Helmi_c and all the developers; My BA is most updated running wm6.
Well much better than wm5 but I have some issues:
1. cant sync it with my PC in anyways (BT, usb etc), USB drivers are not working correctly.
2. sometimes when i pick or dial a call, i cant hear nething.
and last but not relevant to this, guys how do i stop my BA slider from falling down when I use keyboard.

1. Try delete the actual partnership in AS, sync again; if not reinstall AS on PC
2. No problem here with the sound.

same problem here
I upgraded my XDA2s, customized it,backedup, then upgraded my brothers XDA2s and used my customized backup on his XDA2s.
Now my XDA connects fine, but his doesn't !!!
Both our XDa2s's are identical in everyway.
tried a hard reset and restore from another backup and still no luck!
we were trying to save time re-installing the same softwares.
tried deleting partnerships, no luck. tried spb backup and clone, no luck.
any ideas!

Do you get any error messages on AS? Can you browse the internet from device?

usb drivers
can anybody post usb drivers i think this is the problem cause my device isnt installed properly it says problem with inf file.
whoever is able to connect his device to xp desktop via active sync usb connection, please copy the drivers folder contents from program files in active sync folder.
thanks, hope this works

Is your windows firewall enabled? Since WM6 activesync makes use of a LAN connection to sync with the PC, you must allow activesync trough the windows XP firewall, or disable the windows XP firewall completely...
no sound problems with me...
did you try to install WM6_SoundFix_.cab ?

welcom to the VISTA world

I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.

If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.

you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.
Cheers

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's

Try:
1. disable advanced usb (or enable)
2. soft reset/hard reset
3. uninstall previous PC drivers

I've tried but nothing change. on the p3600 I read error 608.
Thanks

I had a problem where the phone would connect to active sync, but would generate an error on the PC and would not sync.
After a good google, I found that this is a common problem with no specific cause (mine was caused by some SPB software).
I think you will waste a lot of time removing software, changing settings etc (like I did) so best thing to do is back up any important stuff and do a hard reset.
