I don't have any luck with connecting my X1 to my computer running Windows 7 beta 32-bit.
Windows mobile device center just stops working.
Anyone tried this and got it to work?
It works for me on Windows 7 Beta 32-bit.
I let Windows Update install any software it could find, got the sync centre and devices program up and running.
yep works fine here i just installed the wmdc 6.1 for vista and it works, do you have av or firewall interfering?
Nope crashes Activesync here as well. The phone still connects tho, and can be browsed via explorer
use windows mobile device manager, download that and it will sync fine...i already use Windows 7 to flash, so everything works fine. if you install that
if there is no other way for you labaan, try to use vm-ware and install xp32
into vmware. i`ve flashed one of my phones with vm-ware under server 2003 (32bit).
for example, the nokia software is not installable under 2003. (wrong os error)
vm-ware works (under 2003) fine.

Are you using the win 7 beta?
activesync is for XP it's not the right program to use at all!
Hey Win 7 users... howz it going so far? I loved the new Beta! it was faster than Vista and more stable too... but i reverted back to vista for the time being. But already Vista is giving me troubles so i'm thinking of moving up again... what say you?

When it's a laptop you wanna install to, i prefer keeping one OS. I just replaced my Vista on the desktop with Windows 7... i guess if that holds fine i'll move to Windows 7 on my laptop as well.

I Love Windows 7, it's what that bloody awful Vista should have been, took me ages to get games to work on Vista without crashing every 10 minutes, and you can notice the speed increase especially on my laptop

Windows 7 is definitely a step in the right direction. An OS that actually will not only be powerful, stable, and fast! but will go head-on with MAC OSX and others in terms of interface!
I love the new wallpaper schemes that lets you set a wallpaper slideshow!
Can't wait to see what they've got planned for Windows 7 for Mobile Devices...

Wow. Even more of an early adopter than I am. I have been running Win7 for a while, but I always dual boot. I used to dual boot Vista and XP but never used XP. Now I dual boot Vista and 7, but I like to stay in 7. I was using the PDC build with the goodies unlocked. Just installed the official beta today and will try to sync soon.

For a start, I agree with others in this thread - w7 is definitely a nice xperiance!
But unfortunately I have still not been able to get my mobile device center to like me. Tried installing wmdc 6.1 for vista 32, but got some error message during installation process stating that 'device not connected'. I'm getting this no matter if my device is connected or not.
On the other hand, when I see in the program list it seems like it was 6.1 that was installed from the beginning?
Even though wmdc crashes when attempt to connect, I get the double arrow on device and I can browse it with explorer on w7. Should be nice to have the sync part work though ...

Thats odd, there was no wmdc installed on mine, just a pointless "sync" control panel.
..Sorry to interrupt your talks.
Are you synchronizing your Device with only 1 PC or 2 PCs?
I refering to another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3161672#post3161672) - with less responses..
while wondering, because for me it seems that no one is really using the synch features.
Maybe somebody will have more news on that strange behaviour.
By the way MS, SE and HTC know the problem.
Cheers

I had to disable advanced network mode (aka disable faster data sync) in USB to PC to get it to work. Syncs fine now. I am set up to sync with my exchange server, vista partition of my laptop, and 7 partition of my laptop. (I dont actually sync with my laptop; just set it up to sync so that I dont get the WMDC popup everytime I plug in; I mainly plug in to use for debugging and internet access through PC).
Hi there,
I got my Incredible last night via FedEx...love it! One thing I haven't gotten to work yet is the HTC Sync. I got HTC Sync 2.0.5 installed. But when I connect my Incredible via USB in Sync mode, it doesn't find HTC Sync on my computer.
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks,

HTC sync on win7 64
Works with mine, Win7 64 on a laptop. You need to turn on sync on your phone. I originally had the same issue but upon investigating the contents of some of the settings I found the switch.
Win 7 64-bit
I'm using HTC Sync on Win7 Ultimate and Win7 Home, both 64 bit and no problem syncing.
I have it on 32 and 64 windows 7...Did you set it up from the phone? I did and it worked well.
Can some one post the HTC Sync for down load? I have looked in my phone and found the drivers you guys were talking about and they installed on my home computer. At worrk I try the same thing and the drivers are gone from the phone.

See if this works...I copied it from mine....
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6851274/HTCSync2.0.25.exe
This one is the update from HTC. I installed it and it works, You may need to install 2.0.25 first then 2.0.33.

Ya im running this one on windows 7 x64 ultimate and works fine. Hope google makes an iTunes type store sync is ok but lacks alot of nice features i miss from my ipod touch.
How do you get the phone to only update the calendar? I do not want the 83 contacts from work on my phone.
sync download (proverbial horse's mouth)
Not to imply that anybody on the 'net would possibly modify the contents of another's software for their own ends, but ... call me paranoid.
Here is the sync software download, directly from HTC:
[Edit]
Visit htc.com/us/support/droid-incredible-verizon/downloads/[no longer a url, 'cause forum admin(s) appear to be as suspicious of the 'net as I]
AND, just an afterthought... are there differing versions available for 32 and 64 bit machines? I don't know, since I use my own methods to poke around my Incred (still having' fun).
I'm a "junior" member? Such a new sense of belonging, for such an old hack.
Hi,
i saw a vid at youtube, youtube.com/watch?v=X8G82A7KKtY
i tried it, but i dindt succeed, im running on Windows 7 ult 64x ,,
and have a HD2 running original ROM.. does anyone have a solution for this?
or a other program that will do the job? but i dont want a Remote Desktop, i want to use my HD2 as en EXTRA monitor.
Regards,
go to the site,
i tried it aswell but it doesn't work on vista and 7.
they want tot release a 7 version but don't count on it
i did man, but like i said, im running on Windows 7.. i'll wait
Has anyone tried this on a Windows XP machine like they show in the vid? Is this legit? I'm going to try this shortly and report back.
Ok so i looked everywere and cant find the answer so this is my question ok am running elegancia rom and am trying to use the remote desktop mobile but it wont let me.. I have windows vista home premium and so i read that it wont work but there is a way to by pass it... Can ya let me no how to do that were can i download that. And also i downloaded vnc viewer enterprise i have it install in my computer but how do i install it on my phone... Plz help i tried everything am frustrated now cuz i really trying to make this work...
You're new to this computer stuff aren't you?
Software written for a computer does not work on a phone unless it has been designed to do so specifically.
I believe that there is a setting in Vista Home Premium's registry that fools it into thinking it is a business version. Use Google.
Apparently he's new to english as well
The vnc viewer you need is available at this link: http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/pocket-pc/freeware/download--net-vnc-viewer-v1-0-1-17.html
Seeing as you are very obviously not an IT technician i would not recommend messing with the registry on the PC as you will very likely do something wrong and quite badly damage it.

Ahhh... That's what it was... I wondered...
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?

Web install? I had to download a special .zip file containing the dev tools for XP SP3 that i found here on the forums. What OS are you running? I think XP is kind of different... :/

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.
