hmm strange, on my pc i get the dialog, but on my laptop nothing happens
Thanks for the quick reply
Check:
Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC and then click the "Ask me ..." option at the bottom of the screen.
lock
don´t know if it´s your case, but if you use the lock option of WM, when the phone is locked with the "password" screen and connected to PC it will use last choice automatically (either ActiveSync o Disk drive) withou any popup...

On my old PC my 8525 connected to XP no problem, than I upgraded to Vista (dual-booted actually) and it just stopped working on both XP and Vista. Now I have a new pc and my problem still remains. I connect my 8525, sometimes the orange light goes on, sometimes it doesn't. When I installed WMDC (newest version) it didn't recognize the 8525 as being connected, so it installed drivers for an unrecognized device or something along those lines. Then sometimes when I connect the 8525 to my pc, it installs drivers for the 8525, and the box that says "enter your passcode" pops up. I enter it, and it'll either say it's wrong ( when it's right ) or the box will disappear and nothing will happen. It just never connects and I really want to put music on it. Any advice is much appreciated.
Edit: I went into ActiveSync on the phone and deleted all the PC's it had partnerships with already.
Read MrVanx's guide. It contains just about everything you'll ever need to know
I tried the guide but it didn't work because in Device Manager nothing shows up... no matter which USB port I put the 8525 in, it doesn't show up anywhere.
delete partnerships off the PC also, and temporarily remove your passcode.
try unchecking the advanced network functionality box in settings/connection/usb to pc
if worst comes to worst, backup stuff on your pocket pc and hard-reset
>>try unchecking the advanced network functionality box in settings/connection/usb to pc
Look for a "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in the network section of Device Manager. If you've already tried to connect with the "Advanced Functionality" checkbox checked, then the mobile remote adapter may have gotten installed. Once that happens, changing the "advanced functionality" won't help, and you won't be able to connect your 8525.
You need to unplug the 8525 from USB, then go into device manager and remove the mobile remote adapter, then change the "advanced functionality" checkbox on the 8525, and then connect your device again..
This is what happened to me, and how I finally got it working. Hope it helps you.

There was nothing in Network Adapters or anywhere in Vista about it. I tried removing the password and connecting it without the thing in USB to PC checked off, still no luck. I would back everything up and hard reset but I've seen so many posts by people saying they've hard reset, lost everything; and then they came to realize it still didn't work =(

Isnt that the point of backing up, so that you DONT lose everything?
^^ I still lose all of my programs and all of them are on my old pc

If you get a trial version of spb backup and do a full one, it does more than just contacts and such, it'll do EVERYTHING, so when you put everything back its exactly the same as when u left it. Programs included.

Hi there,
when I plug my phone into my PC, it doesn't connect anymore. It charges but I don't get any connection options on my phone and my pc doesn't see it.
Also tried resetting the phone, no luck.
Go to the settings tab and go to Menu, All settings, Connections, USB to PC and make sure that "Ask me first about USB blah blah blah..." is ticked. Also, tick whatever you want as the default USB connection type (ActiveSync, Disk Drive etc..)
Hope this helps
Activesync and "ASk me.." were already ticked. I tried changing the options and then changing them back to see if I could force it to take effect but no luck

I expienced the same problem, caused by TomTom Home. This piece of ugly written software started at boottime, preventing to use activesync (even when I choose not to be a drive). I disabled it and now it works perfect, whem I need TTH for updates I start it manually.

I don't have Tom Tom installed unfortunately!
When you choose diskdrive, is the HD2 then visible in your browser as an external drive?
No, but now I'm getting "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned" errors
I've tried in various ports on my pc
Try reinstall either activesync or mobile device center. Try also to connect the phone to another PC or laptop and check if the phone is responding ok (eliminate the good parts)

I think I've reached the problem. Dunno why it took so long to check this - it's so obvious. My new puppy is a bit of a chewer, and there's now some exposed cable on the wire. Enough intact to charge, I guess, but no data.
Typical type b-micro, yes? Can easily get a replacement.
Hi I have a jade but about a week ago my tethering got stuck....id doesn't matter which PC i plug it into it just wants to tether. I want the option back that allows me to pick acti Synch or disk drive.
I have already checked the tick box that say ask every time i plug the device in, but it still doesn't work.
i think you pressed "don't ask again" accidentally.
if you go to settings-connections-usb on pc, you can change the settings to "normal" and also check the " ask me" box
I have a Touch HD that has a faulty touchscreen which doesn't recognise screen presses.
It's going to go back as faulty and should be replaced however I need to get the contacts off the device before it's sent back.
When I connect the Touch HD to a PC it defaults to internet connection sharing and I can read the sd card as a removable drive.
Is there any way to way to change the default connection method to activesync without using the touchscreen, all other buttons work?
Is there any way of remotely controlling the Touch HD from a pc?
I've arranged for the phone to collected for warranty but realised that I don't have some of the numbers off it so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion but unless I'm mistaken they rely upon connecting the phone to the pc via activesync and unfortunately I can't do this because when you connect the phone it remembers and defaults to the last connection type which was as a modem not as active sync.
If anyone knows a way of reseting this via the pc and sd card or using the other buttons such as volume up, down and power then please let me know.
Even if so ... Under Windows mobile Device Center you can use device without setting up and then use File manager to discover the HDD and SD card.
At least under Win7 I am able ...

Unless I'm missing something doing this allows access to the storage card as a removable drive but nothing else as the phone doesn't go into active sync mode unless you select it on the screen and I can't do that.
Is it possible to write and execute a function to the sd card (perhaps even autorun) that changes the default option on the phone to active sync?
hmm, that's a tough one, but I have an idea.
One thought that came to mind is to install My Mobiler on your PC. That allows you to control the HD via the mouse on the PC. Of course, it requires the active sync connection that you are trying to get to - so it doesn't really help.... EXCEPT that in your case, it might.
Normally, MyMobiler only connects when the phone is using activesync. However, when the phone is set to "share internet connection", My Mobiler attempts to connect to the phone anyway. If the phone is NOT able to connect to the internet (via 3G etc) then My Mobiler is successful in connecting to the phone. If the phone is able to connect to the internet, then My Mobiler does not connect to the phone.
So, try this.
Turn the phone off and take out the SIM card (that way the phone will not be able to connect to the internet).
Turn the phone on and wait until it is all booted up.
Plug it into the PC via USB.
In your case, it will connect as "share internet".
On your PC, open My Mobiler and wait for it to connect to the phone (it might install it on your phone for the first time too). Once you see your phone's screen on the My Mobiler window, you can control the phone via your mouse.
On the phone (via mouse), go to:
Start > settings (if on HTC Sense, then Settings tab > Menu > all settings)
Now go to connections > usb to pc
This might all vary depending on the ROM you are using, but the general idea should be correct.
There you can change the settings for how the phone connects when plugged in via usb. You can set it to always connect via active sync. Then, the next time you plug in your phone, active sync should start and you should be able to backup your contacts as usual or delete them off the phone etc.
I tested the steps and it worked. I hope it works for you. Let me know.
EDIT:
If My Mobiler still will not connect, you can change the settings of My Mobiler so that it will connect with the phone via IP instead of active sync.
To do so, in My Mobiler, go to "File > open settings" and scroll almost to the bottom of that text file to find where you would need to change the settings.
