Yesterday I updated my T-Mobile Wing from the stock WM6 to WM6.1 and OpenTouch 4.0. I am running Windows Vista so I have to use the Windows Mobile Device Center. My problem is the first time I tried to sync I had no issues (contacts and email/appts). Now when I try, it doesn't even connect to my device. Anyone have any suggestions on why I'm having this issue?
BLUETOOTH?

No it doesn't have bluetooth built in or anything. Like I said, I was able to get it sync'd last night via USB and now its not even connecting.
I just went and bought a bluetooth usb adapter for my lappy. i'll see if i can get it to connect/sync that way.
I can sometimes (rarely connect) but can't sync
Any other options on why I can't sync? I'm running the wing with WM6.1 and Touch Point 4.0. My OS is Vista Home Premium so I have to use Windows Mobile Device Center.
thanks.
Yes I have one option.
When you first log in to your windows profile as your desktop is loading your computer should make a small melody sound right after this connect your phone to the computer, give it a few moments you should see the small Windows mobile device center screen start up. I know it sounds weird but I had the same issues and after months of endless research I accidentally discovered this.
The bad thing is you have to restart your computer and connect on desktop loading everytime you want it to recognize your device through Windows Mobile Device Center.
Please let me knows if it works for you.
I haven't really figured out an entirely foolproof method (haven't tried BigREDD's suggestion yet), but I usually just keep plugging it in and unplugging it until it's recognized. Restart the computer with the phone already plugged in via USB. Soft-reset the phone while it's already plugged in via USB. Make sure repllog.exe is in your startup. I've never had any luck starting ActiveSync from Programs and then hitting "Sync", but maybe you will.
Help! Cant Sync No Blue Tooth Only Boot Screen
UUUUGGG! Good grief. today has been a charlie brown day. will you please help me?

Good Morning to all,
Firstly hello to all on the forum, got my Touch HD at the weekend and have already found this forum very useful, especially in getting the favourtie people pictures to stop looking so crap.
I now have a problem I need to ask about. I have plugged my HD into my Vista 64bit machine and it picks up fine, lets me access the HD as if it was an external source. I then managed to set it up via activesync, not through choise just couldnt find anything else. Got it connected and syncing via bluetooth as well.
I have now come into work and plugged it into my work XP SP2 machine and it starts installing all the windows mobile stuff and then comes up with could not complete blah blah, when you click for more info its an unknown device.
Is this a driver issue, i.e. do I need to download one for my XP machine to recognise modern day tech?
Have got the number for HTC support but thought I would ask here first as I really like the way everyone manages to explain everything so clearly.
Thanks in advance
Jody
You should just have to install Active Sync 4.5 on your XP machine and off you go.
Appoligies if you did this, but you didn't mention above
If you still having problems, what's the full error text?

Activesync is installed, and has been uninstalled and re-installed just to make sure.
The message states that the USB device is not recognised by Windows and need to try re-installing it.
Thing is, it did just about manage a connection earlier ActiveSync showed connecting and then popped up and said unable to connect to device press ok to troubleshoot and ran some scans.

Had similar problems, but it was the Windows XP firewall blocking activecync
Thanks, but we stopped the windows firewall client when we were investigating this anyway.
Possible solution
Good day,
My XP didnt detect HD as well. Im using Active sync 4.5. To work around this, go to:
Settings>USB to PC>Enable faster data sync
Uncheck this option. This solved my problem.
Good luck. Cheers
Hello, have tried unticking that box as well.
I have uninstalled Activesync again, and reinstalled off of the CD. All installs ok, plug the device in for the first time and select activesync on the handset, it installs the pocketUSB Snc on the PC and then comes up your device could not be installed properly. Open device manager and the PocketUSB Sync shows with a yellow explanation mark on it saying that the device could not be started.
Have now also tried it on an XP SP3 VM Machine, it originally kicked up same windows error. Then ActiveSync on the VM and device showed connecting, then they both stopped and no further.
Problem fixed.... Useful hint for anyone reading this... dont use a different miniUSB cable, or make sure you certainly dont use a cheap one.... I borrowed someone's in the office who was sinking another HTC device and it worked first time.
Thanks to all your inputs

Feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall! I have a dell vostrol 1220 (with windows 7 home premium) and I managed to connect my Touch HD to the computer with bluetooth with no problems at all. I could use the computer to listen to music from the phone etc. However the hard drive went on my dell and was replaced. I have installed all the necessary drivers and spent days looking at internet forums and tried just about everything and can still not get the connection to work as before.
It seems that the problem is that the computer cannot download a peripheral device driver for the phone. My guess is that the computer is not picking up the full phone settings (all the phone is visible) and so can then not find a suitable driver, although I might be wrong.
Anyone got any ideas, this is so frustating as it used to work ok.
OK! I have got 2 pcs win 7 and win XP! I have an ANDROID PHONE!
I have an XPERIA X10i.
This thread is important because many haven't noticed this problem or even bothered,I am about to share! many people with xperia x10i and other android phones face this problem!
THIS PROBLEM IS ABOUT LOOSE CONNECTION between Android phones and windows 7 pc!
WHY the **** I AM HAVING USB LOOSE CONNECTION?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
My phone has android 2.1 rom which i sony's original one!
I have rooted the phone now!
(I had changed roms many time android 2.2,2.3.....)
It seems that there is a bit incompatibility between android OS and windows 7!
The problem is that the usb drivers of android 2.1 and 2.2 is incompatible with windows 7!
When ever i connect my x10i with my pc by usb the connection goes loosen!
repeatedly notification shows Mount and unmount! Which is very annoying! VER.......VERY......ANNOYING!
I tried many stuff..I searched google.....windows forums..coustomer supports....! But I assure u people this is windows 7's problem!
sometimes my usb get connected but chance is 2% out of100%!
I herd there is a problem with SEMC_HSUSB(Sony Ericsson sa0101)
but android 2.1 worked fine for me on windows 7!
whereas my windows xp works fine with my x10!
I checked if my windows 7 has any problem in usb ports or software setting,but turned out to be just fine!
I searched google,in google some said x10i,galxy S,moto Droid also had loose connection in usb connection!
even my usb plug is fine!
there are few win7 which makes android run smoothly and some don't!
Well I am the one with not working one!
Can anyone help me out here!
is this a Kernel problem?
my windows xp and wndows 7 are genuine(original version) and also they r fully updated!
I need help!
have you ever thought it maybe a problem with something else??
i have connected my x10 with 1.6, 2.1 and about 4 different custom ROMS (again 2.1 or 2.2)...all connect perfect with all my pc's and laptops running win 7 ultimate (64bit) and win xp
try a different usb port / computer / cable
Also check your usb on the phone...it maybe loose
Have you tried it on a win xp machine??
I tried different ports but its problem with the software of kernel or any reason that i don't kno!
there could be a number of reasons...technology is wonderful when working....but a pain when its not!!
sounds like something might be conflicting but not showing as a conflict
If you plug other things in the same computer ports and they work ok then all i can suggest (and its drastic) is to reinstall windows and start fresh. That will get rid of any old corrupt files and software and you will probably find it will work.
I have never found anyone stating a problem with SE and windows
Have you ever though that you might have a faulty phone? Just call your carrier or se to see what they can do for you its an hardware issue. Lets hope all this will get sorted out for.you

Go to Windows energy conservation settings and turn off power saving for every USB port that You have in Your PC. (set it to always on or something like that)
Problem solved Good luck !
I checked the phone! but turned out to be fine!
I tested on my friend's win7 which made it work smoothly!
THERE IS NO HARDWARE ISSUE! THIS IS SURE TO BE A SOFTWARE STUFF!

I think ur right on the software part, your software, your windows.... its not the phone being incompatible with windows 7 cause i have zero issues here. Like u said, u tested on ur friends win7 and worked smoothly...

Worked on friends win 7 which it worked
which boils down to the problem being on your pc
You can spend hours and hours trying to find the conflict or the problem why its not working or as said previously, format the pc, reinstall a fresh version of windows and should be ok (providing the USB ports on your pc work ok)
LOL! I have a 7TB HDD LOL!
LOL IF U TELL ME TO REINSTALL MY PC THAT WOULD BE EPIC ****!
can anyone give me a driver! lol any help out there?
LOL!
I have the same issue with my work computer but not my home computer. Not sure what the reason is but it's definitely annoying. Work computer has Vista, my home computer runs 7. I have two X10's and my work computer has never liked either one. For some reason it only happens when I am running the SE's 2.1.
Definitely sucks. I would attribute it to 2.1 and some computers. Luckily once connected to flash tool all is good and it doesn't disconnect while flashing.
its not as simple as giving you a driver...you need to find why its not working. When you plub in the usb it should install the driver.
If you dont wanna format then all i can suggest is uninstall the sony driver and hope when you install it next time it works
failing that i think you have 2 possibilities....
1> Hope that the 7tb hdd is partitioned!!
or
2> Stay good mates with your friend!!
Thats all i can suggest
Good luck...think you will need it!!
PLZ ANYONE HELP!but why does this software conflict happens!
Well I ran the troubleshooter(windows device compability) and it showed a problem of compatibility!
This usb is so sensitive if i even move the mobile 1 mm it will disconnect or just popup "MOUNT PHONE" AND "UNMOUNT PHONE" This is very much annoying!
well this ain't hardware problem but then why loose connection????
It is surely software problem but is it possible that software can make USB ports superduper sensetive???????
LOL! I can reinstall phone but I tried but not working!
I can also reinstall WIN 7 but lol I can't its a huge weight lol! LOL I have 7TB HDD and lol I have many thing in it!so i can't jsut reinstall!
So can anyone give me sony xperia x10i usb driver????THIS IS BLOODY SOFTWARE BUG!!!!
Though 1 weird thing I forgot to mention! The Weird thing is that FLASH TOOL,sony ericssion update, root kit tool and etc rooting software works and don't show any loose connection!
So I checked my SD CARD but SD card is fine! So....wat is it? Is it USB PORT SPEED stuff or software conflict??
but this problem is mainly seen in win7 so i guess win7 hates android! But why would people suddenly face this problem!
Yes before 1 month everything worked fine!but for this month my days r ****ed up!
I think the KERNEL OF ANDROID or WIN7's usb drive for android phones have some bugs!
well problem needs to be dected then lol we can find cure!
(I copy files from PC to my mobile very luckyly lol! sometims try to reconnect it 30 times repeatedly works though if I move the phone a bit it just get disconnected!
OK! so how about we get c\windows\system32\winusb.sys from win xp and put it iin win 7! lol I don't know wat could happen lol! but its a try but its lol risky!
this is usb setting for xp lol! but I don't kno if win7 and xp has same versio of USB dlls!
It's definitely not Windows 7 that's giving it issues. Sorry to say but it's the computer. I'm not sure why it happens but it happens to my work computer running Vista but not my windows 7 home laptop. Don't know if there is a fix though. But as long as flash tool works who cares right? Mounting works fine when you mount it right? It's just the beginning issue when it disconnects, but once connected you should be good.
Hey do u have PC companion installed? And check to see you have USB debugging enabled. My phone did the same thing. I fixed it by enabling USB debug

Try a live cd of ubuntu.. see if connects on that..
try a different cable on that machine.
dont try both suggestions together.. lol try the live cd, and if that works, reboot in w7 and try a different cable. I've had issues where it connects on the data side but doesn't charge out of my laptop..

My bad. I think it's a case of SE's 2.1 not playing well with some computers. Unfortunate that we are going through the same issue. I'm glad I'm only experiencing it with my work computer.

I NEED SOME Software or I shud use custom roms!
and **** sony for not releasing Ginger Bread 2.3.4!
now it is set up to be in august!
though lol even I am not sure if android version would fix it or not! lets give it a try!
I just picked up a HTC Shift X9500 for the kids to play around on (instead of messing with my laptop )
Anyway, Vista sucks obviously, so I want to install Windows XP on this thing. I got windows installed ok. Installed all the drivers. However, here is the issue I'm having. If I DO NOT install the Video drivers, the WiFi adapter works & connects. I install the video drivers & the desktop looks nice, but then the Wifi doesn't work. Just shows as "Unknown Device" in the Device MGR. I can go back into the Device MGR & uninstall the video drivers & restart the system. Then BANG...the wifi is operational again. So, I'm not sure if I got a bad wifi driver or incorrect video drivers. Does ANYONE have all the drivers for this device (Using XP that is..)
It seems to run A LOT faster using XP over Vista. I know the device is old & very outdated, but it would be cool for the kids if I can get it working. There are instructions on this forum to install XP step by step but the links are dead & I can't follow the process. Anyone help??
Hmm thats weird. I use windows 7 on it. Also alot faster than vista.
Wifi is still not working with me. But when i installed the videocard driver. None of my games would boot. So i un installed it. And i can play every game that can run on this old hardware. Seems to me the video driver isnt the best one written.
was it hard to get xp? I may try to dual boot to see wich seems faster with the games

Would be nice if that was in a website without restrictive data transfer limits with no way to bypass them.
It’s 2021 … is anyone still playing with the shift? I guess my battery is completely dead or there is another problem because even plugged in it won’t come to life. Maybe my charger is t working.. any suggestions? Should I just put the shift in the trash?

shift batteries are good, mine is from 2008 and still perfect
maybe your htc is fully discharged, that is normal because snapvue drink the battery when the pc is off, mine wasnt used in almost an year, it wouldnt turn on, but put it charhing and start to charge...
Ecxelent on shift is that can run without battery on external power. Both WM and PC. New phone can give to trash if battery is death.
hello! does anybody here have the xp drivers for the vista? i succesfully installed it but i'm missing the drivers, can somebody send them to me?
