So when I hook my HD2 up to my PC (Windows XP) via USB I select on the screen to active sync but the Windows active sync program on my PC doesn't connect with the device. Instead my PC keeps insisting that the phone is a modem and tries to use it, it installs it as a modem. I can use the phone fine as a storage device, but I cannot get it to sync.
It did it the first time, but not again after that.
To try and remedy the problem I have uninstalled the driver Windows installed then tried reconnecting the phone...but every time it connects as a modem and its getting annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
No option on your HD2 when connecting to the PC?
Try this:
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. In my post I did say that I "select on the screen to active sync", however I didn't specify that it was on the phone that i did this. The pop-up screen you spoke of does appear and I do select the correct option.
Does having outlook help? lol. Don't say yes because then I will look like a total douche. haha. But I did sync once with it like I said, but then my PC decided to hate me.
Active sync problems
I found that ActiveSync behaved different after I upgraded to 1.48 from 1.43 using the ROM update on the HTC website.
Maybe this will help you too:
Go to Settings -> Other (Misc. settings) -> USB to PC
Select "ActiveSync"
There is a checkbox under it "Enable faster data synchronization"
If it is on try deselecting it, as I said with 1.43 I had to disable this, but with 1.48 I had to enable it.
dude
have you xp still or did you upgrade? did you dl the latest active sync from microsoft?
Thanks y'all. I managed to fix it. Don't know exactly how...maybe my computer was being a *****.
Thanks for your replies anyway.
I'm also having the same problem.
Hey!
I was wondering if you could help. l'm having the same problem. did you manage to work pit what you did to get it working? without it I will not be able to update the ROM.
thanks in advance.

Same problem here, my pc doesn't seem to recognize my phone as a windows-mobile-device. Haven''t find the solution yet and started to use my laptop to install programs and sync via microfsoft myphone, but still I am very interesseted in a solution for what seems to be a compatibility problem between HD2 and Windows XP. Anyone can help?
i had a problem that active sync connection used to die after some time
but by
Go to Settings -> Other (Misc. settings) -> USB to PC
Select "ActiveSync"
There is a checkbox under it "Enable faster data synchronization"
by un checking this option now all is ok ..........

Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?
You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..
I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?
Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.
I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.
i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

WM5storage doesn't work for me.
it should work when you disable advanced network functionality in: connections - USB to PC...
but when I disable that I get an error:
failed to disable RNDIS to use serial
even when I disable active sync to use USB when cradled.
any ideas?

Ah, but have you tried this?
Goto: Start Menu > settings > Connections > USB to PC
Now, untick the box that says: "Enable advanced network functionality"
Now try reconnecting your Hermes!
Tried this, found it to be the best:

Works on wm5 haven't tried it on wm6 yet (will install it soon) it's not free but it's worth it to try out the demo and see for yourself.
I got my Touch HD yesterday and I have not been able to sync it with Vista. I get an error on the HD saying there was a problem with repllog.exe. Vista simply tells me that the sync could not be completed.
I checked google for solutions, but I haven't gotten anywhere.
Anyone else having this problem?
I installed Windows Mobile Device Center today. Do I need anything else?
EDIT: My Touch HD is German and my Vista is English. I don't think that plays a role, but I thought I'd mention it in case it does.
Did you solve the problem and how? I have the same problem and I can't find a solution.
Hey
I had that problem too and that your Windows Mobile problem.
Go on your Touch HD to: Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC -> and check Active Sync (synchronize with Outlook) and clear the checkbox "Enable faster data synchronization" and tap OK in the right screen corner.
You don't have to restart your device.
I think that this should help.
Cheers,
Sz.

I think this is not the solution. This is used when you want to synchronise using Active Sync.
Hi everyone! When I connected my jade to my pc via usb, i got the usual screen asking me how i want to connect to the pc. Through activesync, internet sharing or disk drive. I chose internet sharing the last time to try this function out. However, the next time i connected via usb, the selection screen did not come out and it automatically went to internet sharing. Each time i connect via usb, this is what happens! Furthermore, i am now unable to sync! I tried going to activesync and pressing sync but to no avail! Could somebody help me please?!? Thank you in advance!!!
Try this...
1) Without connecting to PC.. on PC open ActiveSync. Select File - Delete Mobile Device - Confirm deletion.
2) On Jade, open active sync - options - delete all data
3) Now connect usb and configure connection again.
Hope that works.
Or on your Jade:
Click Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC...
Make sure that the checkbox at the bottom of the screen is checked.. That way it will always ask you what mode you want when connecting the device to USB...
HTH!

Thanks izzyzc but it was checked at the time that's why i was puzzled as to when i connected it would go straight to the internet sharing screen instead of giving me a choice.

I can confirm having this problem as well on the stock rom; sometimes internet connection sharing gets very attached to the USB connection
Have similar problem
Trying to transfer contacts from Outlook 2007 to Contacts in JADE Clone, it synchronizes all data except contacts what is a bit annoying.
Tried to do all mentioned above but no success.
Every time after opening ActiveSync settings, contacts are grey and impossible to mark them for Sync.
Could anybody advice pls?
Type approx 400 contacts again is nightmare.
Thanx

Sometimes it's defaulted to "sync with PC". In Options, try uncheck that on PC contact folders, then check on server contact folders.
I have tried it, but no success.
Later on found (thanx to Google ) and installed Chapura Pocket Mirror Professional 1.0 trial and it went through and whole Outlook has been synchronized.
Now I works even w/o Chapura Pocket Mirror.
Hey & thx for reading
Recently i performed an upgrade form the HTC site. I was succesfull (except i had to install everything again )
Now, the problem is that, when i connect the phone to the pc (XP SP3) with the usb cable, it doesnt ask what to do.
I used to get a choice of 3 option: Sync, diskdrive or shared internet.
Now it doesnt ask that and it directly opens the shared internet. I tried adjusting the settings in the "connections" tab but no luck.
Can this issue be resolved? I would like to see the 3 choices again when i connect the phone.
you did tap the tiny 'ask me' box in:
start ->settings -> connections -> usb to pc (al the way down the screen)?

Even if it automatically select "shared internet" it can be disconnected and continue with activesync.

That was my 1st guess. I have checked and unchecked it many times but the result stays the same.

If i close "shared internet", active sync(pc) doesn't connect to the phone and the active sync app on the phone just says "connecting".
Try this

The problem is a bit solved. I unchecked the "choice" boxe, did a soft reset, checked it again and it worked. Active synce asks me what to do again
Now, it works about as good as before. Just need to figure out why Active Sync is open in the taskmanager even when i don't use the phone :/
Thx all for helping (and reading)

Hi TP2-ers!
Since using my TP2, ActiveSync continuously syncs it with my PC. When I used AS with my old PDA (QTEK 2020i) I could select manual sync, but this doesn't seem to be possible when connecting a WM6 device.
I tried all the tricks (changing registry entries Continuously Update and Update on docking to 0), the exchange server trick to enable the AS schedule button and setting it to manually, all to no avail...
I know of tools like ActiveSync Toggle, but I do not want to disable AS, I just want to sync manually when I think it's time to sync!
Has anybody out there been able to disable the autosync in AS in combination with the TP2?
Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Kind regards,
Piet
Open ActiveSync on your phone, then click on MENU on the bottom right, then select SCHEDULE and set both peak and off peak to MANUAL. After that it won't sync unless you go in and sync it yourself.
Connect to PC
What about when the "Connect to PC" screen appears when you plug it in via USB? For a week or so if I didn't touch the phone it would disappear and Internet Sharing would open and automatically connect! it was awesome, but now the ActiveSync bubble is selected and it opens ActiveSync on my PC. Are there any registry values to reset this?
So open ActiveSync on the phone again, select MENU at the bottom right, select CONNECTIONS, and uncheck "Synchronize all PCs using this connection"
=)

Nope, all that does is go directly into the "Disk Drive" option....It used to open Internet Sharing and connect automatically. I even removed my SD card and it just charges the phone.
Have you tried to end the partnership between your phone and your computer from within the ActiveSync software on your computer? That should do it as well.

First, I really appreciate your help...now, let's make sure we are on the same page. I don't have a problem using internet sharing, that works fine. My issue is that I want the internet sharing program to start on my phone automatically whenever I connect to pc.
Oh, hilarious, I've been responding to you assuming you were the person who posted the original post. I've been trying to resolve his issue, not yours. Oops. As for your internet sharing issue, no idea. I use WMWifirouter for my WIFI and wired network sharing, and it works GREAT, though I do have to click the program icon before it fires up.
SUCCESS!!!
ok, so I went into the battery properties and unchecked the "when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the pc" This reset whatever I was looking for and now when I connect to pc via usb and don't touch anything it automatically starts internet sharing and connects. LOVE IT!!!

The schedule option is grayed-out.
It's also grayed-out on the PC and you can enable it through the old fake server trick, but although it's set to manually, ActiveSync still syncs continously...
Thansk!

No, because I don't want to disable sync, I just want to be able to contol the moment of syncing!
