Hi there,
I just received my phone from Orange, the french operator.
Rom version is 1.43 something. I ve just been messing around a little with the phone and have encountered a few problems. I d like to know of you guys have the same issues:
- Synchronizing with hotmail: My hotmail password was 17 letters long (and had special characters) and I wasn t able to sync my Leo. I changed the password to 8 letters (and no special characters) and was able to sync
- Copying large video files to SD: When I use the Explore function of my active sync and copy large files (300mb) to my sdcard, it takes forever. The bar advances progressively, then starts back from 0, and so on. After 5 minutes, it seems to finish the copy. When I launch the file, it s corrupt.
The originial file works. The funniest thing is that if I copy the file back from the SDcard to the laptop, the file won t launch anymore
- Copying files with the "transfer function": Ok this works real fast. I can copy large files from my laptop to my SDcard in seconds. When I unplug the Leo, and use the explorer to find the files... well they just aren t there.
If anyone is having the same issues, please help me out.
Thx,
Ben
About the files you can't see. First you have to disconnect the cable or change the USB to PC mode to ActivSync (something). Then you will be able to see your files in the file explorer.
And after a restart, you are still unable to see your files on the storage card, install Resco Explorer and browse your Storage Card with that. It happened to me onece.
And about copying files in ActiveSync mode: It's natural. ActiveSync ain't for copying big files. It's just for syncing your device with your PC. So, it's the same for everyone.

Dunno about hotmail issue as I don't use it.
But, had file copy issues using WMDC in my Vista pc.
I have started using Disk mode nd no problems.
Try formatting your memory card in device if u have issues still.
I ve tried that, but it still doesn t work. I ll format my SD when I get home and try a few other things...
BTW, is there a simple way to backup my original Orange rom before I flash and HTC rom on the Leo?
Thx,
Ben
Issues with the SD card are cleared. The SD card is simply dead. I put another one in and everything works ok

Hi All,
Newbie here so please be nice :wink:
I have only had my XDA Mini for a few weeks now and have just tried to copy files from the PC straight to the storage card via Activesync. I open Activesync and click on 'File' then 'Explore'. The explorer window opens but I get this message...
"Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I have reset the mini and rebooted my PC many times but it has made no difference. What does it mean and how do I fix this problem?
I believe this is an issue with the built in XP firewall... Install another firewall, disable the built-in one and try again.
Hi,
I have the problem as well from time to time. As an alternative I found out, that you can place files in \My document\<Device name>_Syncronised Files (or similar, sorry I use the german version). If you acitivate ActiveSync feature of syncing files, these files will be transfered to the device. You cannot access the memory card this way but at least you can transfer files even if the 'Explore' funtion is not working.
regards
marco
Thanks Guys.
Marco, I have been downloading via My Documents without any problems. The problem here is that I am limited to the memory on my device. I need to download straight to the Storage Card as the files are larger then the internal memory.
Sunoke, ill try the Firewall thing and see how I go.
Hi
I'm trying to shift files backwards and forwards between my pc and my exec, by copying and pasting within explorer windows. I've doen this for years with my ipaqs. I can successfully copy from the pc to the exec, but when doing it the other way, everything appears to be happening normally, but when the transfer finished, the file isn't on the PC! What can I be doing wrong?
P.S Activesync 4.1 is a pile of crap. It's decided not to bother transferring half of my outlook contacts, I think because they have notes.
Also, on a kind of related topic, has anyone noticed that on the box the XDA exec comes in, it states that Windows NT4 is one of the supported operating systems? Not sure how this can be, as you can't install AS4 onto it.
Cheers
Quick update
I did a search by filename of one the documents that I copied from the Exec to my PC and found it buried in a temp file within the documents and settings folder! :shock:
Why is it not putting the files where I ask them to go?
Hello all!
Many days now i have a problem which i can't solve after all my tries.
I own a Qtek 9100 with the WWE 1.6.7.1 Rom and the ActiveSync v4.1.0 (Build 4841). The problem is that i can't cut or copy files from the ppc to pc.
Neither the files are in main memory nor in the storage card. When i choose to copy the progress bar is shown and the little blue cubes go till end but then no file/s in the pc.
Vice versa-from pc to ppc-there isn't any problem.
Please enlight me!
TIA
Have you tried to disable the software firewall (if you have one) before connecting the ppc to the pc?
That helped me.
Foxtrot
I don't have a firewall. Don't even the Windows' one.
Anyone that can help?

I am experiencing this same problem on my desktop. However, I can copy fine to my laptop.
I am still trying to find out what exactly is causing it. Uninstalling & reinstalling ActiveSync did not help. However, I have found that it is copying the files from my Wizard to a temp folder on the PC. It is just not moving it from the temp folder to the true destination. If it helps at all, the temp folder is "C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\<username>\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP\_PEGEX~1" (replace "<username>" with your Windows login username). For now, I try to copy a file & let ActiveSync put it into that folder, then I go to that folder and move it to where I want it.
Thanx for the reply shdwphnx but there isn't any folder with the name _PEGEX~1. I searched in TEMP for anything similar folder but no luck.
I uninstalled/reinstall activesync, did a firmware upgrade to ppc but still nothing.
I've found a solution for this problem in this site. Here it is:
If you are having problems with partial synchronizations or missing notes, try re-registering the OLE32.dll. This is done by clicking on "Start" and then select "Run". Then in the box for the Run Command and type: Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll
Download the latest version of Activesync v 4.5 and run on winxp.secondly check your usb cable connectivity of the phone with your pc.
hello,
i have a problem: I'm not able to copy files from my X1 to WinXP.
I have the cellphone USB connected and activeSync is on, which allows me to browse through my x1 folders. But everytime i try to copy/paste files (to backup) to my computer, a message says copy&convert files but then i get nothing but an empty folder on my pc.
Anyone who knows how to fix the issue??
thx for any help,
greetings!

I have the same problem too,need help!! anyone knows how to fix this?thanks for any help.
Have you tried disabling file conversion?
Go to Activesync on PC then click Tools -> Advanced Tools -> Edit File Conversion Settings and uncleck the tick box.
If you are trying to copy files from the memory card then the best way is to put the device in Disk Drive mode. Connect device then click Start->Settings->Connection tab->USBtoPC->Disk Drive
I encountered this the other day, I think you can only copy files from the SD card to PC on the phone using active sync.
If however, if you want to copy files from your phone's internal memory, to your PC, i used a differnt program to do this, think it was either called 'My Mobiler' or 'Jeyo Mobile something' so try those programs!
I find ActiveSync to be an extremely poor program, I recommend using 3rd party apps to get full control over your phone!
I tried to use 3rd party application such as my mobiler, still encounter the same problem,any other ways?what the main problem that make this happen?help anyone?
Hi!
Just got my TMOUS HD2. I copied some mp3s that i bought at emusic.com to the storage card and listened to them. Worked without problems. But I cannot transfer back some of them using Windows Mobile! One folder seems to be empty, in the other the mp2s are still displayed, but nothing happens when I attempt to copy them.
On the phone, the mp3s are present, I still can listen to them, but I can't move or copy them to another place with Total Commander.
What happened here? Is this a known problem? Couldn't find any help here or with google...
Thanks,
Hannes
Hi, How are you copying the files? Using remote file explorer? And whats the language of your phone?
- Herojit
Hi!
My Phone language is english (unfortunately for me, scnr). I start Windows Mobile and then browse the storage card from there. Is that the remote file explorer? (Sorry, my Win7 is in German)
Hannes
Hi, Are you trying to copy from Storage card to device storage and vice versa?
- Herojit
Yes, I tried to copy from storage card to device. With File Explorer, it does just nothing, with Total Commander, it says "Cannot acces file". When I try to transfer the files to the PC, it does nothing.
Also, i noticed that there is a file named ~hTC******.vin in all the folders that I cannot access. Maybe there is connection?
Hi, I think the file is Drm protected? Any chance for that? Can you check if there is a lock icon displayed on top of the file icon.
- Herojit
Hi Herojit!
No, the files isn't DRM protected (it was from emusic.com, they are all DRM free). It has the ordinary windows media icon.
Yours,
Hannes
Hi Hannes, now I don't see any problem, can you restart the device and copy again, I feel the file is still access by one of the player.
- Herojit
Hi Herojit!
Did that, no change at all. Another weird thing: my computer doesn't display any mp3s at all in the one folder that is having troubles, while I still can play them on the HD2. Another directory shows all the files, but cannot transfer them anywhere. This sucks!
Nobody ever experienced that? :-(
Hannes
From what I understand you're trying to copy those files while connected in "activesync mode".
If that's the case, you want to enable the "disk unit" mode.
If that is NOT the case, then Im clueless
Hi!
I had no transfer mode set up, just ignored that screen all the time. Anyhow, I figured out a practical solution: Windows Media Player was able to fetch all the MP3 from the Phone, even the ones that Explorer couldn't display. So I am quite happy now, but I'd still like to know what is going on with my phone...
