To start with: I already posted my findings on USB connections with a mobile phone and windows XP in the thread that handles a USB utility
By Accident I just stumbled upon the next and I think it is worth posting.
As I connected my windows mobile 6.0 on an HTC MDA vario II today it suddenly failed to find my device.
To sync anyway, I connected it thrue Bluetooth and that worked fine.
Then: I wanted to sync some new tracks via my Windows Mediaplayer on the XPSP2 machine. As it seems it is unseen through bluetooth.
I considred that this time, the only difference between yesterday (when everything worked fine) and today, was changing my SIMcard from the WM6.1 HTC to this one.
SO I took it out.
And hey....my device (that I had already removed the USB devices) was seen; installed and started syncing like it was yesterday.
It seems T-mobile has some strange SIM-card that makes it impossible to use the USB - Activesync functionality when the SIM is in the phone.
This goes only for WM 6.0 because my WM 6.1 (HTC Vario IV) does not have that problem at all. Maybe there is some developer with any idea as to how this might happen. There are many issues on the net concerning the same symptoms.
It keeps us busy and does make you want to take your new WM 6.1 phone on holidays instead of taking the oldie and keep an eye on that one.
It is also not so very sustainable because I did not have this problem the first year. Before the T-mobile upgrade.....
PLease tell me we are not being scr**&$#@ for marketing and explain there is a perfictly logical reason for this unforseen behaviour. I'd love to sync without taking my SIM card out. Should I get in touch with T-mobile?
Good luck to everyone who stumbles upon this thread for a reason and let me know solutions if found.

We are using an Intellisync server setup at work and we have around 15 SPV M3100 devices on this server.
The problem seems to be that once the device has lost signal or been static for a period of time then the server sees the device as not 'active' which means push email stops working, the device will look like it has full signal and everything is fine. Orange third line support have looked into this problem and they do reckon its not their network. I tend to agree due to the fact we have a M600 acting fine on the same server.
Orange can offer no more advice and say we have to wait for HTC to send software updates.......
I have upgraded one of the M3100 to radio stack 1.16.0.0 but after testing last night this does not seem to have made a difference.
Can anyone advise on a rom upgrade that may solve these issues as I am starting to loose hair over this one (and I aint got that much to start with)........
Cheers

Intellisync and Orangemail on SPV m3100
Not sure our two issues are related but I've been using Intellisync Mobile suite for quite a long time but since I moved to the SPV m3100 the Readsync no longer works.
I have used MEMAID to understand what was going on.
I have found that there is may be a conflict with Orangemail. I've tried to remove all the obvious reference to that app in the start up program, Start Up services etc but after a period of time the icon shows up again in the today screen.
I suspect there might be something going there ??
Anybody knowledgeable on this topic??
I've recently discovered that T-mobile do in fact provide the SPB GPRS Data Monitor Tools for their Vario 2 device. It comes on the application CD and you have to install it yourself.
Unfortunately, my own attempts at this have been unsuccessful. I keep getting a message telling me I need to upgrade my ROM. Rather strange considering no other official ROM has been released for this model yet.
Anyway, I've been fighting with it for a number of days and eventually contacted T-mobile customer service. I'm though to the Technical Escalations team who are looking into it. However, they can't replicate the issue.
What I'd like to know is has anyone else been successful at installing this application on their Vario 2?
ROM 1.21.110.3
Date 06/19/06
I've got it installed on my mda vario II with the same rom as you and had no issues.

Hi. Thanks - did you install it yourself or did it come pre-installed?
Anyone else?
i had no problems with that at all .. did you upgrade your activesync before connecting your device to a pc ?
installed from cd - all here

Thanks everyone. Hmm.. good question. Knowing how flaky ActiveSync can be, I did upgrade it straight away. I'm running the latest 4.2. What about you guys?
Well.. I thought I'd have a crack at trying Activesync 4.5
That turns out to perhaps not being the wisest move. As is typical of wonderful Microsoft I've been having all sorts of games with the it. I ended up having to hard reset my Vario 2 again because it was having trouble synching.
Anyway, got it working finally and the result? Even better.. now when I attempt to run the installer it doesn't even show me the GPRS monitor as an optional install! Hah.. gets better and better..
Maybe this only works on ealier versions of Activesync - prior to 4.2? I'm going to have another crack over the weekend on my home PC. I might also roll back Activesync to 3.7 to see if that works any better.
HAHA!! Ok!! Further to above I thought what the heck, fired up the installer again and chose to 'repair' rather than 'modify' to install a new application. Lo and behold it went ahead and attempted to install the GPRS monitor. Result - Success! I now have this working. Go figure!
Hi folks,
I have just got myself an HTC TyTN and found this forum. I have been reading it for
a couple of days and managed to update the ROM on my phone to the latest HTC WWE version
on the wiki.
Loving the phone so far but I cannot get BlackBerry Connect to work.
I am running BlackBerry Connect 2.1.2.54 and using my UK O2 3G SIM which was previously
working great for BBConnect on my Nokia E61, so I know I am OK from the network side of things.
BBConnect installs OK, gives me a PIN OK, but when it tries to connect I get:
"Network Available" followed by
"Data Tunnel Available" followed by
"Not Connected"
I should mention that I am only using BlackBerry Internet Service, not the full-blown
BlackBerry Enterprise Service, so I have not installed the desktop part of the software,
only the client for the mobile.
I even tried to downgrade the ROM to the 1.35 version last night but the 1.35 updater
refused to let me.
Has *anyone* got BBConnect to work on the latest shipping ROM? Anyone have any details
about upcoming new versions of the BBConnect s/w?
Reg hacks?
I would be very grateful for any advice, will post back results.
Thanks,
Charlie.
PS: Is there any way to turn off the green flashing network status LED? It drives me crazy
PPS: If nothing will get BBConnect to work, anyone know of another solution to get my POP3
Yahoo mail pushed to my phone (I am UK based if that matters)?
I would appreciate some help with this same problem, but on Cingular USA.
New 8525, updated AT&T ROM, Cingular's Blackberry Personal data plan.
I was told by RIM they don't support Cingular and 8525, but I see many
users in this forum do have it working.
Have tried various version of BB Connect on my 8525, but they
all point to a blackberry.net IP address that ends in .189.
Some threads say it needs to be .192 for USA - is that my problem?
Thanks for your help !
I had Blackberry working fine on a T-Mobile Vario II, but last month that went back faulty (the dreaded lock-ups) and was replaced with a new unit.
I was unable to connect to Blackberry, getting the same response as Charlie. After much investigation TM were about to exchange the handset again when I received a call from TM saying that there was a known problem with a certain range of IMEI numbers on new handsets that were not able to connect with Blackberry. After checking we found that the IMEI of this new handset fell within the affected range.
I was told that it was a Blackberry problem, and that TM were expecting RIM to issue an update or patch to cure the problem. I decided then to remove the blackberry from my account and use other methods, so haven't pursued it.
So it seems there is a known problem with some HTC handsets, but as usual there's little being done about it!
bbc does not work with the new rom. to roll back, use the sdcard upgrade method in the wiki under rom updating for beginners.
this will take you back to 1.34..... sux.
wes
Can anyone else confirm that Blackberry Connect requires the original ROM?
As the previous poster said, that would sux.
Has anyone else been able to get the following to work?
1. Cingular US
2. Blackberry Connect Client (ver 2.1, not 4.0?) loaded onto 8525, running WM5
3. Get Client to generate a PIM
4. Use "Change Handheld" option on mycingular website to enter the new IMEI and PIN
5. Sucessfully access BIS
Please let me know which version of the 8525 ROM and BB Connect you used.
Thanks for your help!
Here's my setup:
1) Cingular 8525 SIM/CID unlocked (HardSPL 7)
2) Elf's 2.1 Crackberry ROM (WM6) - very nice stable build.
3) BBConnect 4.0.0.67 CAB
4) Cingular Blackberry Tethered Unlimited (both BIS and BES enabled)
Make sure you have a data connection working first.
BBConnect will issue you PIN after you click the Register button - you can see this in the BB Connect utility on your handheld.
You can then use this PIN and your phone IMEI on Cingular's BB site:
http://mycingular.blackberry.com/
Don't forget to download the Service books.
If your company has Outlook Web access for Exchange Server you can avoid BES.
BBConnect only allows 3 email boxes on a non-BB device.
Everything works fine except that the BB Service hogs the wireless connection so that I sometimes have problems with other services require internet connection.
Toss that Cingular ROM (even the latest 2.15 update) - it's worthless and a real headache - very unstable
I'm getting ready to install this, can you explain this comment:

I've had a few different ranging from the Wizard to the Hermes and I'm now the proud owner of a Touch Dual - its the original HTC Decice with the standard HTC Rom and Radio.
I've had it for 2 weeks now and I'm more than happy but spent most of last weekend getting my Blackberry Service set up after archiving my Hermes. It took me an age as there was no advice on which version of the Blackberry Connect Software would work as all the ones I had would not connect.
I finally came across RIMs latest offering and at last - all working with no issues!
The version you need is: bbconnect_wm6_pro_4[1].0.0.90
Tried to attach the CAB file directly but no joy??? For those that need it you can download directly from:
http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_4.0.0.91.exe
You'll of course need the blackberry service enabled on your Sim and configure using the desktop manager when connected to your corporate network.
Hope this little snippet helps and that I haven't repeated information available for the Vogue already available?
Now to find out if there is any way to get this to work on the sprint touch. It has no sim card, and I don't think anyone has been able to get it working yet on a CDMA network.
Uhm ... thanks for this Thread!
I have install the BB Connect Client and it works!
I use Austria - A1 Network.
I make a long run test. I hope BB doesnt kick my device after 2 weeks.
This phone looks fantastic.. it nearly has everything i need...
I am moving from a blackberry pearl with push email on a Blackberry internet service.
What do you guys reckon.. Will it have or be possible to use with the blackberry service (connect maybe?)
appreciate your comments
Dean
I believe theres a software of BB for wmo devices, it lets u chat with your bb contacts and stuff...
Hi,
I am wondering if in the meantime anyone did get the Blackberry Connect software successfully run on the HTC Snap?
I bought the Snap in summer, installed several versions of BB connect, but it didn't work...always got the message "PIN pending".
On my HTC Touch HD it works fine...
Has anyone been able to get Blackberry Connect to work?

i tried bb conect for Moto Q..the software can be install..but never got a pin from blackberry apn...the pin always stated as pending.
i tried to change device id via registry..but got same problem..never get a BB pin successfully.
I have worst trouble, trying to use BBC on my Snap (ROM MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.1.60.090209) but after install BBC SW (BBConnect_WM5_Smartphone_BB) and restart device as per request, my Snap gets bricked on the startup (WM6 3evo logo) and only way to recover is reinstall entire mentioned ROM again.
Installed BBC Desktop on my PC, it works but is not able to connect my Snap due to SW not installed on mobile.
Tried to HardSpl original manufacturer ROM (Movistar Spain in my case) also gets bricked, probably due to my previously installed "Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW" required to flash mentioned ROM MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.1.60.090209.
Each BBC installation test takes me a lot of time to recover system
Any help would really appreciated.
Kind regards.
Found a site with more information, testing but no chance due to I'm not able to find compatible mobile/ROM version:
