how do i get the phone to recognize the music and pictures from my SD on the touchflow ?
also.. is there a way to change the clock into 12hr clock?
how do i fix my Vista computer? im trying to install .net 3.5 and it said it wont send it cuz i dont have active sync so i went to download it from microsoft then it says that it doens't work on vista? what do i do?
I believe Vista already comes with .net 3.5 installed. Active Sync is made for Windows Xp and older, for Vista, use Windows Mobile Device Center. Grab it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Touch Flow should find the music if u click library and try to explore the music from there. Also, if u put the camera to save the pics to the mem card, it creates a pic folder there, try to throw your images there.
i finally figured it out but yea its that Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 that you need to download from microsoft.
i got the photos to work by going to albums and getting the folder i put in my SD card then clicking that as my favorite..
for music its just about adding them to the library or something hah
the clock from 24 to 12hr is somewhere in settings within WM not touchflow..
but yea.. everything is good. only a little disappointed with the wifi.. or opera.. whichever is slowing it down but its fine at home.. i get full strength but we going to see how it does at school today..

Here goes 2nd posting.
Have active sync 4.1 connected to windows 2000 pro @ work. No problems. But I am on windows '98 @ home. Now I appreciate that the active sync 4.1 does not work with '98 but is there any solution that will enable me to tranfer files to my MDA vario when I am @ home short of upgrading to 2000/xp etc
Thanks
Robert
Try wm5storage a small program that turns the card on your device in to a usb mass storage device (like usb memory stick)
Find it attached - can be a little fiddly to set up - make sure activesync is closed on your device and make sure no other programs are accessing your storage card. - including some today screen plugins.
Install program into main memory and do a soft reset before trying it.
Its free sourced from modaco and i think there is a newer version kicking around somewhere.
Thanks meschle will give it a go. It would appear that there is life in Dudley past 1am? :lol:
lol yup sleepless nights - happy easter too
Windows 98? People still use that?

old habits.. hard to die...
No, it's just I have access to XP and Win 2000 pro PC's @ work where I spend most of my time. I'm there every Week End and most days and as I predominantly back up DVD's @ my shop/office, check my business emails, I don't spend anytime downloading @ home. Therefore I don't have much need for a high spec machine @ home when they are freely available to use in my office.
One of the few and I mean few, perks of owning your own business, is that I answer to myself only. I wish I could answer why I work such long hours though.......
anybody know of an easier way (software) to send files to a windows mobile phone instead of activesync... i've tried setting up a local ftp server through my computer and router to send files but i can't get the shadow to connect, was wondering if there was a 1 click program that utilizes the device drivers to just straight out interexchange files...
i know i can do memory card, etc, blah blah blah, but i'm wanting a software solution
Have u tried this. Your PC will see phone as another hard drive
if it works with 6.1, perfect, i'll try downloading directly to the phone and letting you know, thanks for the quick response
works like a champ, thanks korman
An easier way is to use Windows explorer, either in XP or Vista. You'll need to change your folder options in the "computer" in the view tab to show hidden files and folders.
Once you've done this, you'll see the shadow as another drive/device on your windows machine.

Damned!! Still running a PIII?
No PIII here anymore
1. First, when I got my TOuch HD (im using Vista) and I tried to connect the HD to my PC, I plugged in the cable but it wouldn't connect. I realised it was a USB port problem, change the port, and everything sync fine for the last week or so. Last night, there was a Windows Mobile Device Centre update so I did that. And after that, it woulnd't connect via Active Sync anymore. (Im using the same usb port, also tried a different port). When I try to connect as a hard drive, I can still view the content of the memory card just fine.
Does any1 know how to fix this please?
2. I've copied a lot of music into my HD, and quiet a few of them are ones that I dont really like (since I didn't filter before I copy), so the advantage of using windows media player (wmp) is that in library, i can delete the file from my memory card as well (which is more convinience than using a different music player, may be some players offer this function but Im not aware of?). However, I got this problem - when I try to update my library, wmp search ALL of my memory card and copy over all the audio files from different software/games... and I want it to only scan the music folders (where all my music are). So any1 can offer me a solution for this please? (I.e. some option in wmp that i dont know, or another music player that offer delete from storage card)?
Thanks a lot for your help..
Btw, Im using the ROM ver 1.14.4053 WWE (on Orange UK) and Vista Home Premium
hi, could someone help me with this please?
thanks
If you want the ActiveSync connection, ensure you specify that in the USB to pc Setting. Also, blank out the enable advanced network functionlaity checkbox.
I don't use WMP anymore, but I think you can delete it only from the library without actually deleting it from the storage card. In that way, your library is clean from the unwanted stuff, yet you don't end up deleting system sound files.
Hope it works for you.
hi, im using vista, and using mobile device center, not activesync, activesync is not for vista.
and what I want is actually being able to delete some unwanted song from my storage card (so i dont have to clean it up later)

Your vista can't make activesyn connection unless you do the step that I've outline in the last post. ActiveSync applies to both XP and Vista.
hi, thanks for the reply, but I don't think that's the solution to my problem, because I've already tried that. And also, it was sync fine just before the windows update and download the new Windows Mobile Center, since then, even if I tried system restore to where it was before the update... it wouldn't work...
problem solved - looks like after my update, the Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter went missing... just installed it again.
Thanks for your help.
Hey guys, got WP7 on my HD2 today and I was reading that you had to manually set your APN to gain 3G. I set mine up (epc.tmobile.com for TMOUS) and I have 3G, yet MMS still wont work! Have searched and searched and it seems some people's just works randomly. Halp!
try download from the market in the HTC section the connection setup... and let it configure the phone for tmobile... I don't know if it will fix the problem but theres no harm in trying
dont you have to go through that long fix to use the market....? right now i cant do that because the SDK tools wont install. says there is an issue installing .net framework 4 something or other.... :/ looks like im going back to stock 6.5 and android for now

If you cant side load the connection setup since you dont have the dev tools installed and don't have it activated with Live... No other way..
Normally it would work with the APN set correctly since theres no other options like mms ip and so on... Enjoy Android.. Lets see if in the future this issue gets fixed
Well... I guess my heart is set that I am so in love with WP7, I am going to keep trying. My issue was the .NET framework. When I try to install the SDK it says that the .NET Framework 4 blah blah couldn't install. Mind you I manually installed the .NF4 beforehand, uninstalling and reinstalling now, will report back. Until then, anyone had this problem then fixed it?

LOL. Got rid of my gaming rig... making dude with an AMD XP 2600+ 1GB Ram, and a GeForce 6800GS. get the job done, but would crumble on W7. I finally got past that point and installed the SDK. Now Zune effed up... reinstalling hoping to fix.
Hope everything ends up working for you... Aslong as Zune loads up and connects to the phone .. All you got to do is go into the market or Music while plugged in and sideloading should work
Hey i got W7 running on an Old Gateway with AMD Athlon 1400 1G Ram and Radeon 9550.. Aero and all runs fine.. Have it stored away just incase

Really? How does W7 run on that PC?
Now back on topic.... lol. So, I got Zune to load and my device connects correctly. Now chevron isn't working and apparently there is a 1% chance of anyone getting it to work on XP. Yet, I was just informed that most roms come pre-unlocked so I wont need chevron!
Now that my device is hooked up, how do I sideload? I have the connection setup ready to go.

If the ROM you have says it comes activated and unlocked with the registry changes already cooked then all you have to do is load up Zune and connect the phone.. then on the phone go to Music & Videos or the Market so the Sync Complete Screen comes up then just use TOM XAP installer or a hacked version of the Developer Application Deployment Program to sideload and .xap you want (connection setup)....
Off topic.. I just started up the setup DVD and it installed W7 on it and right from the start everything except the Audio worked and an update fixed it

What cooked rom are you using? I'd like a preunlocked one... probably make things easier.
had the same issues with t-mobile uk. downloaded the htc conntection wizard and ran that and it worked fine. also try sending a picture message, as sometimes that seems to fix the issue (i had to do this on android).
as for the chevron hacks etc, you are better off using a pre-unlocked rom. look in the wp7 development section of this forum and u will find most roms will cook it in. if u have that then your next challenge will be the windows live id for marketplace access. US have chat support for windows phone 7, but in the UK i had to phone them and just got given a code
your PC will run windows 7 fine, windows 7 needs less resources than vista, i have some very old PCs running windows 7 and they run fine, the only issues i have come across is aero not working, which i can live without.
you may find that it is a worthwhile upgrade, as not only with the wp7 dev tools be much easier to install/use on windows 7, but any updates to them are most likely to only be available to windows 7, plus XP is in extended support, meaning that updates will only be rolled out if they are critical, and most newer software will carry the designed for windows 7 logo.

agreed. waiting for my hard disks to partition and installing windows 7.
I flashed a WP7 rom on my phone that is pre-unlocked, but I am still unsure how to side-load this connection setup. Phone connected and recognized by zuneeeee. What next?

Glad to hear everything started to work out...
This is how i sideload apps
Once Zune regognizes the phone and syncs succesfully while still pluged in... on the phone make sure the backlite is set so it wont turn off.. if it turns off it breaks the connection.... Once you have that set go into the market on the phone or Music & Videos... Once you go into one of those apps it will say that you are connected and it will sync briefly and say sync complete... while still in that sync complete screen start up the Application Deployment and browse to the connection setup .xap and deploy it.. If the connection Setup is signed correctly (official App) it should successfully send it to the phone and load up right away.. if not it should be in the programs list
Hmm.. alright thanks man. Ill definitely give it a shot tomorrow.

Exactly what I have running. Runs Ultimate fine.
Back on topic. Its not tht hard to sideload apps.
Turn lockscreen timer to never in settings.
Open Zune. Wait for sync complete. Minimize Zune.
Deploy xap via Toms xap installer or even easier download wp7 marketplace for PC and set xap file association to have wpdeploy run on double click.

I always needed a Windows portable, and always had to use Linux portable instead. Now Windows has this option. Anyone else tried?
To do so, you need the leaked version 7989 and the developer preview ISO. Using a virtualbox (easier) you just have to install the windows 7989 on it, search in system32 for pwcreator.exe, put the developer preview ISO into the virtualbox dvd reader, a usb drive with no less than 16 GB, and windows automatically creates it for you.
Works like a charm. Syncs your wallpaper and apps (if you use your live id). By apps I know it syncs because I deleted apps from my PC, and it auto installed again when I used my Live ID in the portable windows.
Just missing documents sync. But it works really well in any computer I tried. Even with my 6 years old Acer.
Here a more detailed how to: http://www.borncity.com/blog/2011/09/18/how-to-create-your-own-windows-8-to-go-developer-preview/
Top! But I want to keep syncronized my Windows/Programs/Apps/Documents with the device On-The-Go... But, from what I read, we can not...
Well, it would be great that. Maybe in final version
