Connecting, connecting, connecting.......

Activesync just keeps trying to connect and is never successful. I have re-installed Activesync on my pc but it didn't help. Also, my work pc doesn't connect either. Definately a problem with my 8125. All has been well for a couple months and I have added no new software before the problem started. This problem also happened about two weeks after I got the phone and the only resolution was a hard reset. What a pain reinstalling all the software and settings I have now, it's customized just the way I like it. Anyone know how to re-install Activesync on JUST the phone or have any other ideas?

Try the latest activesync 4.2 beta and disable any firewalls if possible on the pc. On the device start activesync application and go to menu\options - delete pc that you are syncing with and try again.

Deleted profiles on both pcs installed beta on one. Still no connecting. Tried clicking SYNC on phone, pauses for a second then nada. No connection.

Have you deleted profiles on the device? and disable firewalls, and if you have a network adapter enable it because latest activesync treats the connection with device as a network - there are many posts on this issue do a search and read through some - seem to be many different factors involved.

First- Thanks for the replies Mark
I removed the PC profiles from my 8125. Also reinstalled Activesync 4.2 on my work pc. Nothing. Although this time I got an error message- Cannot find the file "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=65257&clcid=0x409" (or one of its components) Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all libraries are available". Like I would know what that means. Anyways, no firewall enabled. Besides, this should not be happening, all of a sudden, on 2 separate pcs. That kinda rules out a pc problem. It has to be in the phone. That, and the fact that a hard reset fixed it last time. I'm thinking something corrupted in Activesync on the phone???
And searching on this forum is useless. I type in "connecting Activesync" and every post with either word shows up. 614 in just Wizard forums alone. Is there a way to search so that ONLY posts with both words show up? That way I can modify my wording until I find something useful. Search for any terms or use query as entered is ticked. On other forums you can just use quotation marks but not this one. It makes searching very difficult. ROB

Oh, and yes my network adapters are still enabled as always.

Yes best to search with the word AND cuts out all the other stuff i.e. activesync AND connection would do it. Yep sounds like it may be the device.
found couple of posts that seem to be relevant

Happy reading, the last post is about connecting activesync via bluetooth so maybe thats an option.

Thanks Mark. I think I may try the bluetooth connection when I get home tonight. Or I may just throw in the towel and do a hard reset. that worked last time. Plus, I can install the latest ROM upgrade. Shame theres no way to uninstall and reinstall Activesync on the phone. Seems that should do the trick (maybe). Just tried my friends 8125 on my work pc- syncs just fine. So much for all the pc fixes everyone seems to be trying.

I had the same problem with AS refusing to connect via usb or BT.
In the end i went & purchased (although the demo version would have done) Sprite backup. installed on the PC. Browsed to the install dir to find the cab file. copied to my wizard (wifi, or sd card reader etc).
Insatlled & backed up to SD card
Hard reset
restore
stop here if you're happy, if not
AS to sync calender & contacts to pc
hard reset
update ROM
AS contacts, cal, docs etc back to wizard
install SW & settings
BACKUP

Yep. Had to hard reset. All is working again. Crappy Activesync. What's up with this P.O.S. ? Trying to setup bluetooth now and the pc finds the phone but AS won't connect. The phone finds the pc (HomeCenter) but it shows no services available. I'm assuming that there should be some listed (maybe Activesync?) Guess I'll have to do some searching for bluetooth problems with AS now. Did I mention that AS is a P.O.S??? But you all knew that already. :lol:

Dont forget to open a port in you BT settings (on the pc) and tell AS (also on the pc) to accept connections on that port.
Then your wizard should be able to see the AS service on the pc (you initiate the sync from the phone, not the pc)

I have had this problem since day one, and continue to have it despite several (more than 15) hard resets, multiple ROMs, multiple pertnerships etc. I plug in my PPC USB, and it just says "connecting" forever. Every time, after plugging in my USB, I have to shut off my PPC, and turn it back on. Then my laptop finds and connects with my PPC, and syncs all my data like it should. If I do this more than 3 times, my laptop crashes and reboots. If anyone has figured out how to fix this, let me know.

Need help : usb connection automatically go to internet sharing

probebly this is a stupid request , i am struck with a auto connection to internet option when i connet usb to my computer , i do not get the htc option sceeen any more , now i am not able to sync to my pc or use memory card, please help

Go to Start Menu...Settings...Connections.... USB to PC and then select Activesync.
You can also re-enable the ask me every time option if you like.

thanks tried that .. still does not work

thanks guys , problem solved after restarting my pc

it dosent work for me.... i cannot connect my HD to my Computer. he always wanna start the internet shainrg... please help!

ActiveSync does not allways works properly with all computers. You could try Start Menu...Settings...Connections.... USB to PC and then uncheck the first option after ActiveSync (something like 'activate advanced network functionality' -I am sorry but my OS is in Spanish-).
I had to do this in one of the PCs I sync with HTC HD, though in other case it synced with no problem.

hmm its worked, but the internet sharing are starting too...

hi i have same problem with automatic start internet sharing... It is some solution for me how disable opening internet sharing after connect to usb?

No matter what I do, I can't get rid of this either... Any more thoughts?
Thanks,

This problem seems to have cropped up on at least 3 different threads, and with no sensible fix so far!
I am having problems on my stock Rhodium WWE, where I used to get a choice of AS or Storage card as mass storage, now I just get the internet connection sharing screen.
I have tried the various other fixes presented, but no luck so far.

same problem...

here too.

HD2 goes straight to Internet Sharing...

I know not why but my HD2 has started going direct to Internet Sharing when I plug it into my PC.
This means I cannot get to use WMDC to sync or browse the storage via my PC.
I don't recall setting it to always connect for Internet Sharing & never ask again but could do with finding out how to reset this feature so it asks my preference for the connection every time.
Anybody know how please?

Open Start -- Settings -- All Settings -- Connections -- USB to PC.
In here you can change it to what you like as default, but there is a tick box at the bottom which stops it being shown etc.

Thanks for the reminder!! Doh!
However... the "Ask..." checkbox was already ticked!
Seems to beworking a bit better right now having un-/re-ticked each setting as I require & doing 2 restarts.
WMDC seems to be playing nicely again now.
Thanks

my phone keeps saying check usb cord but everything is connected and i even used another cord. the laptop with Windows xp.

Urgently need to get data from Touch HD

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 ...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

Can't share internet from pc to 8525 anymore?

I have an HTC 8525 and when i first got it, i was able to connect my phone to my computer through usb and browse the web from my phone using my computer's internet connection. Well, I had a software issue (incompatible app apparently) and had to hard reset my phone, i had to hard reset it when i got it to, so it wasn't anything new. After hard reseting and going through the initial setup again, i installed all of my apps (except the faulty one) made a few changes in "advanced config tools" like i had set before, plugged the phone to the comp through usb, and my phone continually tried connecting to the internet through my cell phone's data plan (i dont have a data plan, so it said the same old "check if your account balance..." or whatever it says) so please SOMEONE help me with this!!! (i do have activesync and i am able to sync my phone with my comp, and it's an htc herm100 running windows mobile 6 pro)

please help!!! and how do i change my phone's USB connection name? it has WM_ before my name now, it didn't when i first got the phone...
EDIT: I've gotten vTap to work but the internet (internet explorer) still won't load a webpage, it comes up "The page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." and thats when i try to load google...please, i know SOMEONE on these forums can help me...dont be shy people, post somethin, anything that could possibly help, oh and i had to change my connection to "My Work Network" just for vTap to work...

i've found the "share internet" settings on my phone, i forgot that since the reset it wasn't defaultly available, but even when i get to there, i cant connect for internet sharing through usb, it has the option but i cant connect, i've been through toubleshooting options and everything both through my phone and activesync, i've been to microsoft.com and everything, still cant get it working, so can someone please actually try to help me around here? 81 views and the only responses are from me MYSELF making at least SOME bit of progress. If i wanted to just post my problem and get no answers i would've went to yahoo answers, now seriously, someone freakin help me, before i lose all faith in this website!!!
EDIT: i think i found the major problem, activesync, i can connect to my computer through activesync but everytime i try to transfer any files either the transfer will freeze or my phone auto disconnects from activesync, might not be my phone disconnecting, could be the comp and my phone recognizes that i'm not connected anymore, and can someone actually help me a little on this? i've tried completely uninstalling activesync, i've went through every option on my phone that i could think of, i've had over 100 views on this topic and still no replies, seriously?

i'm just using skyfire web browser now, i cant believe no one could help me, oh well...
