I am wondering if someone can help me. I am using the HTC Herald with WM 6.1 -- ITsPapaBlack 6.1v2 -- and trying to use internet sharing while connected to my laptop via USB. My laptops OS is Vista Pro. It connects but once I close out of internet sharing and then just try to connect and use active sync, it will not connect to my phone. I have tried resetting both the phone and the computer to see if that would fix the problem but the results stay the same. The only thing that fixes this is a hard reset. This is the second rom I have had this problem with. Anybody's input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):
1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.
When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.
I had the same problem with my Touch Diamond. Simply make sure you uncheck the box "Enable faster data synchronization" in the same settings as mentioned above.
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
(for WM6.5)

Hi, I'm pretty new here and I was wondering if I could get some help.
I just got my HTC TyTN (Hermes) in the mail and it's awesome. The only problem I got, which is a big one, is that I can't connect it to my PC with ActiveSync. I've tried different versions of ActiveSync, 4.2 and 4.5. I've reinstalled it and rebooted several times, but no go.
When I connect my phone to the USB cable (tried 3 different USB ports btw) it takes a while and starts charging. But after about 20 secs, i get a message saying "USB Device not recognized".
The first time I installed it it worked fine, kinda... It got to the part where it was checking the settings on the phone or something. Then ActiveSync stopped working/froze, and I searched some on the net for that problem and found that my firewall might be the problem.
So I added all those programs to the allow list, and after that didn't work, I completely disabled my firewall. That didn't work either.
But as I said, now windows won't even detect it when I connect it.
So I was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to get it to work? I'd be very grateful for any help you can give me.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried ticking the 'Enable Advanced Network Functionality" on Hermes while connected ? Settngs > USB to PC
It have always worked for me when Hermes was not recognized.
Also, make sure "Allow USB connection" is ticked on the ActiveSync main menu.
Yes, I've tried that. Both ticked and unticked, it makes no difference.
"Allow USB connection" is also ticked.
Thanks for the reply.
If it is ticked, then un-tick it while device is connected.
I had the same problems when I first connected the device.
Try this: Full deinstallation of ActiveSync, restart PC, (do not connect Hermes yet) install ActiveSync, restart Hermes and connect it only then.
Then ply with USB to PC - tick it (wait) then untick it...
Hey man, thanks for the help.
That tip with ticking/unticking while it connects somehow worked. It doesn't work all the time, but after some ticking and unticking it works.
I just can't close that Usb to PC window or it will disconnect from ActiveSync. Oh well, at least it works. A bit annoying but usefull workaround.
Thanks again, i owe you one
I upgraded my firmware to 2.17 from 2.09 and now my phone cannot sync email while the USB is connected to my pc. Anyway to fix this?
I had this issue with the 2.09 and currently have it with 2.17. Sprint tech help was unaware of this issue (big shock). Does anyone know the answer?
EVDO While on USB
Do you loose all internet connectivity while docked? Have you checked this setting:
On the computer, open ActiveSync and navigate to: File -> Connection Settings..., make sure that "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is checked.

i have the same issue, and the check to allow connections is turned on, at least in xp. I can't find the same option in vista.
I would assume that if I dropped a new ROM on my device I would need to configure a whole new ActiveSync profile. Unfortunately, from my own experience, ActiveSync is a B***H when it comes to having 2 sync profiles. I remember even uninstalling AS and trying to remove all references in Program Files and REG and it still thought I was syncing with the same device.
I would have to suggest something extreme. Installing AS on another PC and trying to sync or... reimage your PC and reinstall AS fresh.
I had the same issue, there is a thread on msn about this...

For me, turning on wifi on and then back off via the hard switch seems to fix the issue. Hope it helps.
try settings-connection-usb to pc- and uncheck Enable Advanced Network Functionality
When i connect the phone to my computer it dosent start active sync. It automaticly shows as a usb hdd. Think i put the phone on "Disable Popup when i it gets connected to a computer with usb". But cant find a way to enable it again.
Tried to go on "internet > Active Sync" on the phone. But it dosent help.
Windows Mobile 6.5 "Energy Rom".
I can aslo say that with the other "phone" i have. My work mobile. It automaticly starts.
TC,
Go under settings > Connections. It is one of the settings there which will ask you how you'd want the phone to react when a USB is plugged in. You can choose ActiveSync there.
Cheers.

Oh i found it. Think i used a hour to find it.
Settings > System > USB Settings. Well hope this tread helps someone else then
Thanks anyway mate.
I know not why but my HD2 has started going direct to Internet Sharing when I plug it into my PC.
This means I cannot get to use WMDC to sync or browse the storage via my PC.
I don't recall setting it to always connect for Internet Sharing & never ask again but could do with finding out how to reset this feature so it asks my preference for the connection every time.
Anybody know how please?
Open Start -- Settings -- All Settings -- Connections -- USB to PC.
In here you can change it to what you like as default, but there is a tick box at the bottom which stops it being shown etc.
Thanks for the reminder!! Doh!
However... the "Ask..." checkbox was already ticked!
Seems to beworking a bit better right now having un-/re-ticked each setting as I require & doing 2 restarts.
WMDC seems to be playing nicely again now.
Thanks

my phone keeps saying check usb cord but everything is connected and i even used another cord. the laptop with Windows xp.
[edit] Strange, it seems to have fixed itself. I get the menu now. Weird, but I'll take it.
When I connect my Touch HD to my computer it used to give me a choice of atciveSync, browse as hard drive, or internet sharing. There was a little checkbox "Don't ask me again". I never checked it but it must have become checked somehow because now when I connect ot my computer it always goes to internet sharing mode without giving me a choice. How do I get my choice menu back? Under "more options"->"Usb to PC" there is a checkbox "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC". I have that checked but it still doesn't give me the menu choice. Any help would be appreciated.
