ActiveSync on Dopod D810

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

No ActiveSync (USB) after WM6 update

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

X1 and Internet Sharing on laptop - no drivers!

Hi,
I'm looking to use my X1 as an internet sharing device for my laptop on the go. However, I can't seem to get it to do it WITHOUT installing activesync.
So I've just plugged in my phone into my PC and it asks for a "Generic RNDIS". Do I have to install activesync to get my phone to interact with the laptop??
I just want to use it for internet sharing. I've read a lot about using bluetooth and stuff, but no solution for using just a plain USB.
Any help greatly appreciated!
THANKS

You will find internet sharing in programs folder. I does not require installation of anything (on Windows Vista).

have you tried wmwifirouter, its a great app

I use XP - and whenever I plug my phone in, it asks for the "generic RNDIS" driver
So 1) even if I switch on the Net Sharing on the phone, it does nothing.
2) Does wmwifirouter work even though it keeps asking me for the RNDIS???
No way to just import some essential drivers and then connect the phone the usual way??

I believe you could import the drivers. If you know which drivers
At what time does the mentioned message show up? When you open internet sharing? Or already when you connect the phone?
WMWifirouter is very nice, but you have to buy it. It provides USB support. And it SHOULD not require an additional driver. However, I think a "generic RNDIS" driver is not something very exotic. I think the problem is your computer. Have you tried on another one?

if xp doesnt load the needed drivers automatically then i do believe you need to install activesync. is there a reason why you dont want to install activesync?

@Firefall: This "generic RNDIS" message comes up whenever I plug in my phone and it happens to every PC i have (3 different ones).
@c_legaspi: The reason is that I dont use activesync for anything on my laptop. Additionally, activesync allows my phone only 2 PC's to attach to. Otherwise it'll ask me to "delete" a connection with a previous PC, if you see what I mean.
BTW, anyone experience the problem where one needs activesync installed before USB-charging works?? Its the case for me strangely...

i dont know about charging with only activesync but i do know there is a setting that you can choose on whether to or not to charge when connected to the pc.

yeah, i know that setting. It definitely charges when its connected to activesync. But connected to just any PC, it wont do a thing.
In contrast, my previous S710 (vox) charged even if you connected it up to a carrot

this is offtopic a bit since you're using XP but on vista or Windows7 with the supported bluetooth profile for bluetooth PAN, i would just set the phone for internet connection sharing through 3G and then set my laptop to connect through bluetooth PAN and they work fine together. no other software needed. however you're limited to using the 3G/EDGE feature only, no wifi.
wmwifirouter is a better solution if you need to connect through wifi.
if your bluetooth on your laptop can connect through Dial-up Networking (DUN), then you'll need to find out the username, password, and phone number of your carrier (it goes something like wapuser1, wap, *99***1# for Rogers Canada) and set it up with your laptop. i've been doing this on my previous phones but it seems the X1 can only connect through bluetooth PAN which is easier to set up imo but it cannot automatically connect to the internet unlike DUN.

I think the point is that you need to start the internet sharing app and choose connect before you connect the USB cable. If you connect the cable at that time, the phone installs the right drivers (the computer recognises it as a different kind of device at this point).
I have not tried this on XP, only on Vista.

I'm not sure if this help any of you, but at the moment I'm using my phone to connect to internet. I follow the instruction on Xi manual http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/522/265/1224514276/X1__UG_1215_1000_2_EN.pdf page 31 "Using your phone as a Bluetooth™ modem".
I'm using window vista to connect my phone to pc via usb go to program internet sharing and the pc search for the driver installed and done I'm surfing

I am also trying to use the X1 as a modem without installing ActiveSync.
You can extract the RNDIS-Driver for XP from the ActiveSync-Setup:
1. uncompress setup.msi with 7zip, you get ActiveSync.cab and some other stuff
2. uncompress ActiveSync.cab with 7zip
3. now copy the files
- WceRndis.inf
- WceRndis.cat
- WceIS.inf
- wceis.cat
- usb8023Y.sys
- RNDISMPY.sys for later use
When prompted for NDIS-Driver go for the WceRndis.inf. On my XP it installed fine and gave me an additional network interface. After setting IP-Adresses for PC and phone i have a network-connection.
If you activate Internet Sharing on the phone then Windows asks again for an RNDIS-driver. This time, use the WceIS.inf. It installes the same files, i am not sure what the difference is.
Hope this helps!

Internet Sharing WM6.1: works on xp not vista

I've searched for related topics, but none are quite on point.
The following works for XP, but not for Vista, and I cannot figure out why.
(Note: I have the unlimited data plan, please use with caution if
you do not have the plan).
I am using AT&T as my carrier.
Using CeRegEditor, I performed the following on my Motorola Q 9h global device running WM 6.1, USB connector is connected from phone to PC:
1) changed HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings = "ForceCellConnection"
to "" and rebooted
2) In HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...}\Connections,
changed ATT ICS and MEdia Net "ReadOnly" value from 1 to 0
On the phone itself, I then selected Start->Settings->Internet Sharing:
PC Connection = USB
Network Connection = MEdia Net
After issuing "Connect" on the phone, I have internet access when the phone
is connected via USB cable to the Windows XP PC, but not when connected via USB cable to the Vista PC.
====
I have tried Bluetooth instead of USB when connecting to Vista, to no avail.
I have tried to obtain a new IP address for the USB connection, to no avail.
I disabled Norton firewall, to no avail.
I disabled the wireless card I installed last year when my internet
connection was DSL with a wireless access point, to no avail.
The phone connects ("syncs") fine with both PCs. On XP, the application is called 'Microsoft ActiveSync', and on Vista, 'Windows Mobile Device Center'.
I appreciate any advice you have.

It should work. I am using Vista SP1 and a WM 6.1 cooked HP 614c. Even managed to use the data connection in a virtual machine running on the same system. As soon as you hit ´Connect´ the sync session gets disconnection (status in Device Center is disconnected). Then Vista should detect a new connection called Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. When running it for the first time, a driver will be installed. After that it detects a new network which you can setup using the Network Center. Did this happen in your case?

Hey duckyman, thanks for responding. I do see the 'Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device' on the Network and Sharing center, but the connection is listed as 'local'.
I did notice that once you hit 'connect' on the phone that the WM Device Center application on the PC lists the connection as no longer connected.
This is normal behavior, however, as the same thing happens on Win Xp with the corresponding 'Active Sync' application, and the XP connection works for me.
I think the problem is with Vista. I will try one more time with Bluetooth instead, I noticed that under 'Bluetooth Settinngs' on the phone that though I had enable bluetooth, I did not check the box "Allow other Bluetooth devices to see this phone".

[solved] Q about settings for internet sharing

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.
