With my x7501 I can connect in bootloader. Just flashed factory ROM, the Michy's 6.1 clean. In both ROMs I get the "failed to connect" sound from my PC in the fisrt boot screen, just when the red text disappears (and of course, then, nothing happens reagrding the connection). I can connect my wizard and sync.
Lately:
I installed Shantz Today Changer, uninstalled a dumb Minsweeper game (my four-year-old loves the OEM version). I've been having some PC issues, like dropping wifi every few minutes, Google Chrome crashed the OS so I uninstalled, and Quicklaunch icons show up funny occaisionally. My BT also isn't working, (Broadcom stack) software can't find the local device.
So whatever happened to "cable is stable"? Anyone up for a puzzle and kind enough to give me a clue?
Next steps: restore from Sprite Backup and keep popping out my card to exchange files (sneaker mail, anyone?). I'll probably live without Desktop Outlook until I get this solved, since I started using Flexmail and Pocket Informant, I can pretty much do what I need to do on the handheld and have to take it with me, but what a hassle (yes, I'm spoiled). I will try another PC, too.
Working for now
I waited overnight, let it reboot twice as per my nightly routine, this morning unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" under USB-to-PC in the system tab of Settings. I have a funny feeling that anything I did didn't make a difference, since it all happened so early in the ROM loading process.
I hope the thread helps someone who runs into the same problem.
I am so tired of all the WTF moments in WM. I guess, no matter what, if you want it all, you have to fight for it and deal with the setbacks.

After shifting the location of my PC and plugging everything back in ActiveSync has stopped detecting my i-mate.
Things I have tried so far:
a) been through the steps of the troubleshooter
b) removed ActiveSync 3.7 and installed 3.7.1
c) did virgin install of AS 3.7.1 on different PC
All with no luck. AS resolutely refuses to detect my device. What can have gone wrong? Heeeeelp!
Do a soft reset in the device and reboot the pc, then try the hot synch again. It should work.
Should it not, here is the place to find out other options:

Thanks, but tried all to no avail - getting quite depressed now! I had a quick look at your link but no immediate solution seemingly.
Happy New Year!
Well, I've just tried installing ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a third PC - still no luck. I'm thinking that maybe the problem lies with the device? Maybe I've killed a registry entry whilst being over zealous with something. Does anyone know what the registry entries are in case one has gone walkabout.
Otherwise looking at hard reset and if that doesn't cure problem I've got a very expensive phone!
Thanks
i've had several times that the xda was charching in the craddle,
& i got a removable usb disc in windows, that activesync didn't connect. What worked for me was play a little with the usb-connector in the PC or change it from usbport, so in my case it was some kind of bad contact,
You've probably checked this but I'm only trying to help:
From activesync go to tools/options/options and under 'When cradled' check USB is selected for sync connection.
Sync Problems
I had the same problems with ROM 1.03. I backed up, did a COLD BOOT then tried activesync, it worked. Then I did a restore and it still worked. I did notice one thing, I was playing with the notifications. I deleted some that I thought were redundant. Things wern't running well after I did that including the sync. After I restored, I didn't mess with the notifications except with the tool from ScaryBear.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
Brandon: Maybe you've given me the answer, thanks. It is entirely possible that I got overzealous with an excellent little program called Remover. I, too, have the ScaryBear notifications program but it seemed to leave a lot of notifications behind, so........
I'm just girding myself for a hard reset and then I will, as you say, leave the queue alone.
Plum: Thanks but yes, I had tried that. Also, selecting a baud rate and then selecting USB again to 'refresh' it.
Hi Guys,
I hope someone can help me with this:
I did a complete reset of my Shift (this F3 thing...) and everything worked fine. Everything was set up like it was when I first started the Shift.
After some days of use the SnapVue Side claimed "not enough memory, delete unused programs, blablabla"
The device is not liberated (this time ) and I didn't set up/use the email client.
I didn't even start the Weather forecast program.
In fact, I only used SnapVue once to get the mobile connection up and running.
Now I had the problem that I was not able to use snapvue which means I can't activate/deactivate the modem.
After a couple of tries (restart, disconnect battery, etc.) SnapVue stopped working (black screen, no audio in Vista) and I wasn't able to acces it.
I had to use the Bootloader to reset it.
Now, SnapVue is very unstable and needs to be soft-resetted every one or two days. Otherwise it stops working completely.
another F3-Reset did not help.
Any Ideas... anyone?
very interesting. maybe the low memory thing is being triggered for a false reason. the upcoming custom rom will have this stupid thing removed (or at least the limit will be changed to a more sensible value).
Hi,
This is my first post here and obviously it's a problem related issue.
I have my HTC TOUCH HD, for about 1 week now.
Everything worked great, until yesterday, when i tried to install the following:
- installed the HTC Hotfix for responsivness, seemed to work fine.
- than i wanted my phoen call to be announced with voice, so i tried to findVoiceCommand (cracked, shame on me)
- downloaded something from this forum, that was posted on rapid share.
Oh Joy and than the problems started:
- It gave an error when installing
- than o n reboot, it toook waaay to long to boot up.
- than i tried to go into the settings to remove it.
Now, EVERYTIME i try to enter the settings, it just freezes, i can not access anyting any more, not even the upper power button, only taking out the battery will work.
Rebooting, i used total commander (thank God i had it installed before) to delete the startup link for voice commander and the entiere voice commander folder.
Now, unfortunate this did not do the trick.
Accessing the settings button will still freeze my HD (
I am very very very frustrated, do not know how to restore it to previous state. Pretty please someone can guide me what to do ?
Thank you in Advance.
ps: everything else seems to work fine, though
Do you think hard reset is the best way??
Yes, unfortunate, this was my only solution.
After digging for more than 4 hours, sleeping 4 hours, digging more hours, i gave up and did a hard reset.
(i even had to digg that up too )
Now everything is back to normal, BUT my weather application is not updating through GPRS / 3G any more, only through wireless.
There is no option for me to set it through what connection it should connect
(Only in coinnection manager, and there its set fine, i already tried everything, and internet seems to work, just fine)

Same thing happend to me. I have now managed to get back into my settings. I think there are two ways.
1. Use active sync to remove the program
2. I installed the 1.5 trail version (which doesn't run) but let me back into settings so I could uninstall MSVC and then uninstall the trail.
start up still seems a bit slow and the first time you press settings it is a little slow going in but after the first time it is fine.
The better option might be a hard reset but it isn't one for me at the moment as I have far to much stuff to re-install and setup. I really want MS voice commander but I am to scared to try and install any versions
sound like the program had a virus maybe
go to startup in windows explorer and remove the shortcut related to it. this will solve the problem.
Damn stop listening to people that quickly tell you to hard reset.
I had a similar problem in which i couldn't access Settings to remove the program that was causing it.
I connected the phone to ActiveSync and you can easily the program from there. Problem solved.
Another way to uninstall would be to launch the CAB file again (the one with the "bad" program). You will asked if you should remove the old version first, say yes, then cancel installation when it asks where to save the new version. Together with a soft-reset thereafter, in most cases it should work out ...
I have just got a HD2, and used activesync successfully for the last 2 days to sync contacts and load the HTC hotfixes from their web site. Today however, it has just stopped working. The phone connects (but takes a very long time) and starts the sync process, but then the progress bar doesn't move at all for ages or sometimes moves to about half way in 10 minutes but won't get any further.
Before the status bar starts moving and randomly during the sync process I get the message "A problem has occured with services.exe Please tell microsoft about this problem...." The status bar usually starts moving a little after sending this error report. I also get the message "A problem has occured with connmgr.exe...."
Trying to stop activesync freezes the device completely for several minutes but it usually frees eventually although I have had pull the battery a couple of times.
Occasionally when it does start I get the warning message "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. All changes made since your last successful sync will be lost. Do you wish to continue?" although I have made no changes whatsoever on the PC. I've never come across a message like this from activesync before on any other device.
Has anyone had these problems or have any idea how I can fix them?
Cheers
Do you have sync problems with 3G or with USB? It usually happens to me with USB.
Try this. At Settings|Wireless, turn off Direct Push. Turn off Data connection. Go to mail. Do a Menu|SendReceive. If it works, then go back to enable those two options. I have no idea why but this often works.
Unpluging the USB often makes it better.
delete profiles in actvie
sync tools->active sync
soft reset
sync again
Be happy
Sfr0g, how do I delete the profile? I can't find that option.
Cheers
About once every three times I soft reset my phone it wipes all the settings, mail account, wifi keys, facebook login, my-phone sync login, data connection settings the bloody lot. Have the HTC wwe 1.66 stock rom installed with CHT. Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas on how to stop it from happening again?
Do I need a special handshake or something to get a reply on here?
lol, not as far as I know...
I'm on 1.66 WWE with CHT installed and I've never lost any settings on soft reset.
I had this problem with my stock 1.66 ROM and also had CHT installed too.
I first thought it might be CHT 1.7.0, but uninstalling it still didnt fix the fact that the login details for Live Messenger/My Phone/Marketplace/Facebook weren't being saved properly (ie: kept prompting me each time).
I've hard reset to fix the login details issue and so far it's ok. I'm running a minimum amount of apps to see what might have caused it (no AEB Plus, no BsB Tweaks, no CHT; FB/Marketplace/My Phone/Google Maps/Opera 10/SPB Wireless installed)
Mmmm, might bite the bullet and flash the tmob 1.72 rom. It's a pain in the arse though got atleast 50 apps installed and it's not running to bad but when it needs resetting I have to put all the settings in again. Acutally it's just occured to me that just before the last settings loss, I had the non stopping vibration problem that's been happening on and off every month or so (the settings probably got wiped the last time this happened too)
I was going to open a thread like this myself, but luckily I found one already opened.
I am on a 2.10 tmous based rom, and I have the habit to switch out a battery when it's empty to put in a new charged one, so I just open the cover while the phone is on (either in standby or not) remove the battery and put in the other one, having the same effect of a soft reset after all.
I never associated this beahviour with the sudden resets... anyway I keep losing email account and wifi info as well! I do not use facebook (lucky me) nor myphone or other services, but for sure my mail accounts get wiped every once in a while, and when trying to connect to home network I get a "new network" message. I am definitly tired of adding them manually each time, nor I am confortable creating a provisioning XML with clear passwords inside
That's a real pain.
Slightly different problem happened yesterday, only lost my home router's pass key this time - everything else stayed put. Am getting past the irritation of finding the pass keys and typing them in by saving them in a hidden file on my phone, when one goes I just copy and paste it in - back up running in seconds.
Similar in my case. I have cooked ROM Hypnosis V 4.0 with latest hotfixes and tweaks and after SR phone lost some settings like light, notifications and other, which i change in registry...
Have you flashed that 1.72 rom yet? Its much better than the useless ****e they shipped our phones with. I havent had to hard reset once since I flashed
Before it was a weekly occurence lol
Seriously though, I never had that on the old rom or this one.
I think you'll find it worthwhile updating (if you havent already).
1.72 is not WWE, so i don't.
