I hate ActiveSync! Other options? - HD2 General

I HATE THIS PIECE OF ****.
My computer was totally fine, untill i installed this ****ty software. Now it keeps hanging over and over (and over and over and over and over and over) again.
I need it to transport my files to the HTC HD2.
But, are there other options?
My SDcardreader can't read my 16gb microsd, so that's one option down the drain.
Anybody knows a way around this problem?
Thank you for your suggestions!

Put your HD2 into hard drive mode instead of activesync mode, then you can copy files to it easily.

You should select Disk mode (cannot remember what it is called), not ActiveSync.

Thank you, will try it!
I really, really, really hate this program!

It works!
Deinstalling Active Sync now! Thank you, guys!
Sorry, that I did not think of it myself. It was really not a hassle at all.

Thanks for the update. Good to hear you can solve the problem.

Can I join your club of I hate ActiveSync?
I now use Bluetooth to transfer my files from PC to Phone to save connecting via USB (as I install a lot of apps to the SD card which will stop working if you go into HDD mode).

active sync = nightmare

XDA2 as USB mass storage

hi all,
should i bother with USB mass storage driver for XDA2???
is anyone out there, who'd use it??
buzz
i guess that people could use it to transfer data to pc's without activesync or bluetooth or wifi
or exchanging SD cards
personaly i would not use it really
but if people would like it then you could prob make it for all pocketpc's
and maybe even make some money selling it...
the purpose of such driver is, that you can connect your XDA2 to any PC, using USB. no active sync needed.
And it will appear as a mass storage device on the PC.
Same as USB sticks or mp3players...
buzz
I am very very interested for the mass storage driver. It is very convinient way to copy files to machine where you dont have Activesync or BT installed.

Good Goddamn!!!
Now I know why people get excited when you get busy on something!
I think it's one of the great failings of most PDA's that they don't have this feature and I'll be watching this one closely.
Unfortunately, I've not the know-how to assist, but I wish you the best of luck with this...

Good IDEA tanks :lol: :lol:
Perfect!
Nice. Just what im looking for. Im using Win 98 on my PC (Im too lazy to install Win XP), and WM2k5_1.60a on my XDAII. So, I cant use Active Sync 4.0.
I will try this tonight. Hope it works.
Oops. sorry forgot to turn off signature
there is this kind of software out already
it works on win2k3se but not wm5 unfortunately
yep, tried it but it didnt work.

My Trinity and Mac hate eachother...

Hey guys,
Any thoughts on the following problem:
My european HTC P3600 wont pair with either my MacBook or MacPro running MissingSync version 4...
I`ve tried both with USB cable and Bluetooth... the only thing left is to use some tinfoil between the phone and the freakin` power outlet of my two macs...
If anyone has ANY thoughts surrounding this strange lapse of communication between these two really great products, I would love to hear them. Expriences, tricks and encouragement is greatly appreciated!
Thanks and have a great night!
-Vespanator
p.s. Just some technical info for those who wonder: Running OS X tiger now... the phone was usually synced up with a Windows XP workstation via ActiveSync, and has not been tampered with after the jump over to a new MacPro workstation. Therefore an idea would maybe be to reinstall the os on the phone? Maybe? Anyways.
Same here, unable to sync between Trinity and Mac using missing sync. Try PocketMac Pro because of their promotion. But only with intermittent success.
Most of the time unable to find the device.
Is the option in "Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC" marked as enable (advanced network functionality)??
If yes, disable and try again.
M.a.s - Thank You!!
That cleared it ALL up! Thank you so much!! Have a great weekend!

Glad to know..
Great weekend for you too!

Active Sync (nothing works last shot)

Hey guys, first post and honestly I was trying to avoid this post. Anyways here is my problem. Active Sync will not work. I get the Unrecognized USB Device Error. I have tried every suggestion I can find. Uninstalling Active sync and reinstalling, soft reseting, switching USB ports, trying USB 2.0 port, trying on every USB port (6), using cradle, not using cradle, cold booting my PC, booting PC, and I have uninstalled the unknown USB device, powered off my Mogul and restarted. My IT (yes he is an actual IT guy) guy at work even got to working on it after I explained the problem to him. He even went through BIOS on my work PC to try and figure it out to no avail.
Has anyone had a problem like this....and if it is on my phone I guess I would need to reinstall a rom using my flash card. I would prefer this to be the last option as I am not too savvy at loading ROM's (have not felt the need to load one yet). I also am running nueLED , so I'm wondering if that may be interferring. I tried uninstalling it but it wouldn't uninstall. One more thing, active sync was working perfectly for a week, then it just stopped working.
You need to install drivers on your PC...
Usually they come on a CD with the phone, but you can do a search on google and find some.
Also try your carrier's website
I've tried installing the drivers from the CD, but that doesn't work. I'll try googling again but when I searched last week I could find nothing.
OK I found some drivers...but when I choose to install them from the device manager it says "the specified location does not recognize your device".
Alright looks like I just will not get Active Sync or my PC to recognize my device. How does anyone have some tips on installing a ROM on a storage card.
ive had that problem before. i suggest trying it on another computer or just formatting the one you currently use.

To solve the problem:
Go to Settings.
click Tab [Connections]
USB to PC <---
un check the Enable advanced network functionality
Then re connect your USB cable and it should sync with your pc.
Unfortunately that was one of the first things I did. It still does not work. Evidently someone else on this forum is having the same problem.
Maybe this will work cuz it did 4 me
First do a hardreset. When everything is done on your phone, do what Taninpv told you and then do a softreset. Then let your phone stay sit for an hour. Dont play wit it. Then go run active sync on your phone and wait 5min. After that, connect your phone to your computer and let it stay there for an hour or untill u see something running. When you see something saying like RNDS is beeing install let it install and dont touch your phone. After a while activesync should pick up your phone and follow the directions and it should work from there. Also, everytime u aregoing to disconnect your phone from the computer, close active sync on your phone first, dont disconnect your phone when activesync is running on your phone or it will have problems again trying to connect. I have tried this 3 times already. I was not connecting to activesync untill I got this. I tried everything people told me like downloading actesync of microsoft, uninstalling it, connecting to another usb port and nothing. This is the only way it works 4 me. Good luck. If it doesnt work, PM me and ill help u.
Thanks Erick I am trying now...
as of the past few weeks i have been getting the same issue, very strange. When i 1st got the phone i was able to use the USB cable no proplem sync transfered my files good 2 go. Since i modded my phone with silly skins i-phone screensaver, HTC homeplugin and the phone doesnt want to be recognized via USB PC connection, i dont wanna reset my phone again to Factory stock and reinstall it up again.
yo
try what I posted yesterday.....Did it work 4 u burgertime???I hope it did. Oh yeah, my cousin also had a problem but his proble was that the wired mini usb on the mogul(under the storge card) one of the gold plugs in there was bent and he just fixed that and it worked. The wired thing that it would charge.
Yea I tried it over the weekend and it did not work. Looking at my mini USB port I can see that one of the gold prongs does look like it is bent....I have no clue how to bend it back though.
Wow it was just the USB prong....incredible. Now I'm the laughing stock of the office. Thanks for the tip Erik!

Worked like a charm! Long live the search function
So seems i have run into this problem now. Doesnt sync with my XP or vista computer. Tried unchecking the usb connection advanced functionality option. just tries to install (XP does but says it wont work, vista was just usless). At one point the vista actually connected but as a guest. The prongs are all good too, nothing looks bent. Ill try another cord maybe. eh what a pain. ill try a hard reset tomorrow
Ive tried all these and no joy. Can someone tell me how many gold conector "wires" there should be? Maybe one is missing?
mine are like this > l lll < Should there be five with one in that space?
Thanks in advance...

MR2 - Mass Storage?

Hi!
Can anyone tell me if X2 finally supports USB Mass storage mode with MR2? If not, I'm really going to be upset.
Thanks
didnt it always? though it was REALLY SLOW
not in the same way that the X1 had. ive not noticed any new mass storage feature. still looks like you have to connect to activesync first.

Thanks. That su*ks a big way. Actually I think this doesn't conform to the definition of "USB Mass Storage".
no it doesnt. but its the only way to access the memory card. to be honest its not too bad. i plug in my X2. then i go into "my computer" and its listed in there and i can browse to the memory card same as the X1. the downside is when you transfer stuff to your pc its slower because it uses activesync. no idea why they couldnt let us access the card directly. probably a way to force us to use their software.
Have you tried to use WM5Storage v1.9 (or some other versions)? I heard that it works on X2

[Q] remotely access phone that has a broken touchscreen

Hi
I dropped my phone and the touch screen is not working anymore. I cannot unlock the device.
Is there a way to get my contacts from the phone.
Even though I had synced my phone with gmail, my phone contacts do not appear in google contacts. (on gmail).
I can get my photos and stuff by connecting the phone via usb.
Thanks

If your screen still shows all you have to do is get a micro USM adapter that allows you to connect a mouse and use that to control your screen. I hope this helps. You should also invest in software that allows you on a regular basis back up your files to your pc. one suggestion is wondershare.
I hope this helps you

Hi
Thanks for the reply. However I read that Nexus 4 does not support OTG functionality.
Would the method you suggest still work?
Thanks

Yes it will I have done so in the past.... You might consider buying a new LCD/Digitizer with Frame and install it.. It's quite easy. There is a wonderful YouTube video by LE55ONS that shows you everything in detail and very easy to follow. I have done it many times
I hope that helps
