Sorry about the bad title!
when I got the td2 and plugged in the usb cable
it used to offer me the option on a screen to either
connect to active sync
use as a hard drive ( or something like that)
internet sharing.
with a little rember this action type button.
I obviously pressed that button as now it defaults to internet sharing
I would really like to get the options screen back
any one got any ideas
Thanks in advance
Andy
Settings > Connections > USB To PC and mark that thing on the bottom.
Thanks for the quick reply,
should have said that I have already done that and it doesnt make any difference still goes straight to internet sharing (which stays open)
only a silly thing but its winding me up!!
I had this issue too....
Looks like you disconnect the TD2 while you were sharing the internet....
What i did, connect, tu USB, connect the sharing (the TD2 always shows it...) click the disconnect softkey of the sharing, disconnect the USB and then reconnect it.
And voilà, the screen is back
BRILLIANT !!!!
THANKS so much
all is well now in my world apart from my tomtom issues
hey ho

Hi Friends and Gurus,
I'm stumped . I cannot get any connection to my PC via USB. I don't get the "du-duh" connect sound. The connection is not present in my network connections.
Here are the steps to reproduce:
Unlocked Cingular 8525, WM5 official update
ActiveSync 4.5 uninstalled and reinstalled on PC
Attach phone to computer via USB cable (in any of 3 USB PC ports)
Phone gets power via USB cable (light on Hermes turns amber), but..
Problem:
No connection sound (du-duh)
No connection visible in network connections
A bit more info:
In messing around, I could have set something incorrectly on the phone. But I'm afraid (and embarassed to admit) I don't know where to start.
I've searched this site and have not found the magic cure.
If you have any tips, suggestions, settings to try, etc., i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris
as silly as this sounds... mine wont connect to activesync or mymobiler if I have WiFi enabled on the 8525.
Just pointing that out in case you hadnt tried it
Thanks densmore,
Mine used to work even with WiFi on (so for a while I was in better shape than you ) , but now, it doesn't matter either way (so now I'm much worse off than you ).
I'll keep hoping for other suggestions here, but appreciate your tip.
Chris
try this...
go to device manager and uninstall usb hub and then search for new devices and it will reinstall itself. reboot and try again.
I suppose you have 'enable advanced network functionality' unticked?
If not:
start/settings/connections/usb to pc/ untick
If you have, try ticking it, soft reset, try to connect again.
I suppose you have rebooted your pc/laptop?
deleted the partnership and reformed it?
tried another usb port?
also, this is a useful source of info:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/syncerrors.htm
If I think of more, I'll come back.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318425 for a complete review of MyMobiler
Just another thing to confirm. You have not used the likes of memmaid to remove notifications and accidentally removed repllog entries?
You can use the likes of sktools to confirm that the repllog entries to start Active Sync are present.

Hi guys,
Been looking around all day for a fix for this. I thought it was just a setting issue so have been try all kinds of setups from what vodaphone have on their website to what i have googled and still have the issue.
I can get on to the internet after a reboot but after a while it will lose connection and i will get two arrows one left and one right on top of each other instead of the normal "G" icon. As so as this happens i lose all connection to the internet and cannot get back on unless i reboot the phone a few times then the "G" icon comes back and the internet is back up and running.
Its my only grip so far with this phone everything else is great.
Any ideas

wierd. that sounds like the activesync icon...You're not connected to your PC via cable/bluetooth are you?
Stupid question I know, but best to get it out of the way.

oh my god i am such a noob, i did not know that when the usb connection is connected the interenetconnection stopped......hang is that right, should it still not connect to the internet?
Thanks

When you plug it into the PC, it will try and use the PC's internet connection.
On the PC, open activesync and go to file, connection settings.
Make sure that the option called This computer connects to is set to the internet.
Also, tick the box marked Allow wireless connections... then it should be able to connect while plugged in.
If you have vista and WMDC, these options should still be around, but as i have avoided vista like the plague, i can't tell you where they are cos i simply don't know.
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.
Normally when I connect the USB-cable I get the options menu where I can choose, AS, Disk or Internet Sharing. But now it launches Internet Sharing immediately when cable is connected..
I've checked the settings and the "always ask" is checked and no matter what I do I can't get the HD2 to turn up as a disk anymore..
My HD2 is plain vanilla without any tweaks... and of course rebooted the phone as well as the pc.
All tips or advice greatly appreciated.
No one with the same issue or an idea?
