Basic Help Needed - HD2 General

Hello all.
Apologies for asking what may well be an obvious question, I have trawled through a lot of pages but cant seem to find help at present. I am a newbie to winmob having been an Iphone chap for 18 months.
I have managed to get all my contacts off my iphone and now have them on my laptop in my windows address book. I cant get them on to my HD2 now! I am really struggling, I am trying the Microsoft My Phone programme and it is not working.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a basic step by step guide to solving my problem?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Golt, welcome to Windows Mobile!
What version of Windows have you got?
Do you have MS Outlook installed?

Hi there!
I'm using 6.5 I believe. I do have outlook but it is only the trial version. I have managed to get my contacts onto there but still cant get them on the phone!
Thanks.

Sorry, my fault, what version of Windows on your PC?

Oh yeah, using XP on my laptop as well!
Thanks.

You need ActiveSync to sync your phone to Windows...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/activesync-download.mspx

Ok I am trying to use the Active sync with no luck at all.
I am getting support code: 0x80004005
Any help?

Is the phone in ActiveSync mode also? You should get a window on the phone open when you plug it into USB.

As far as I know the phone is in active sync mode. When I connect it to the laptop, a pop up box appears about instaling drivers etc. I a apparently missing mdismpx.sys file? I cant seem to get the active sync on my laptop to detect my actual handset?

Is this any help?

I have had a look at that link, cheers. Still no joy at all though. I have reset the phone back to factory settings and I am still baffled. I'm going to give up for now I'm afraid.

Sync Wirelessly?

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know if it is possible to work out a way to sync the Tytn with a pc wirelessly if the pc and phone are on the same network?
For example - If I am home and forgot my cable at work to sync the phone to the computer. Is there a way I can map the tytn to find the Activesync partnership via my home wifi?
Thanks
I would say yes as you can activesync to networked devices. I did some searching and found a guide if it's any help.

Do you think that there is any chance of getting to work with Vista?

I'll second that. The less USB connections and cords the better!
I'll try it later, some things are easier in vista so might be pleasantly surprised
you could just sign up to an exchange service

I thought about that but I think it would present problems. I use Thunderbird for my work and not outlook so I am already using the Birdiesync software to sync the Tytn.
Also, I am not interested in syncing mail as much as I am interested in appointments and contacts. Would an exchange service be good for this? Can you recommend a good and cheap/free one?
Thanks
you can try mail2web
http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/
I haven't used it, i have my own exchange server but I see it on the boards alot.

I have been using mail2web for almost a year. It is very good and the equivalent of a desktop PC. I can hard reset or install a new ROM anytime away from my PC and sync back all my PIM data over wifi or phone data service. It is still free, try it.

Can you explain how you set up mail2web with activesync so that I can give it a try? I went to the site and took a look but found it hard to envision the whole setup.

Sync Issue

Hi there,
I am using a Blue Angel with WinMobile6, ROM 6.01.03.HBB and Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5.
The Software won't sync the outlook notes. I cannot check the box for notes in the setup neither on the device nor on the PC. Notes are in the list for sync options, but they are greyed out.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Thalon

I might be wrong, but look into this. If you don't have a valid license of MS Office installed on your PC or you don't have the WM CD that came with the phone, You might not be able to sync notes... and I believe you shouldn't be able to sync contacts either. Do a search on XDA for Sync problems. Good Luck
also you may try to contact the creator of the rom for issues
are you using outlook 2003 or 2007?
Please Help
Im haveing Sync Issues
TaskFacade giving me Problems
How can i Uninstall this program
by what name is it in the Remove me List ?
or
Is this my imagination ?
then what could be my Sync Issue
I have Att Fuze
I have Outlook 2007
Vista Ultimate 64
i don't know about taskfacade, but i do know about vista64 and outlook 2007, and i could maybe help you, if you had a blueangel, but with the fuze you are definetly in the wrong section here, plus the version of the windows mobile device center would be interesting and what exactly is your sync issue.
- does it not detect the device?
- does it detect but give a red X?
- does it not sync all the elements it is supposed to?
- does it not work with exchange?
- is it just slow?
and for all that it would be important to know the rom on your device. not just you posting it here, people who might be able to answer that also need to know the rom, and that would be my problem here. but if you run a build 21725 or 23001/23003, the sync issue is well known for all the devices and if that is important to you, keeping it connected and synced, you should maybe revert to a previous build, or just try again in the fuze section

Help with hotmail and windows live please!

hi Guys
Im really new to all this (my last phone basically did calls and texts..!) and i am have difficulties synching windows live on my HD2 and linking/synching my hotmail account.
Basically i go throught he usernames and passwords but right at the end it says synchronisation failed.. Im finding this really frustrating and would really appreciate some help from anyone who has managed to link their hotmail and got windows live working!
Is there something i may have inadvertentlyswitched off which is blocking it? Im on T Mobile and unblocked all sites this morning.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Sounds like you need to go into your advanced connection settings and disable T-Mo's proxy server. That blocks a lot of stuff for no good reason.
I have the same problem.
Without solution yet!

Ive fixed it..!
Basically, i ran out of options until the last thing left to do was a hard reset.. And it worked.
Seems most things are fixed on the HD2 by a hard reset.

skype no longer available for wm6.5, where can I get it?

I have searched all over this site but could not locate the skype for windows program. I went to skype but it no longer supports the 6.5 wm device so they say they removed the link/download.
does anyone have it? or could let me know where I can get it now?
and now a bigger, more stupid question, how do I load it onto my HD2?
My HD2 is brand new but because I have windows 7 and outlook 2010 in 64 bit I cannot sync my data with wmdc, will I need wmdc to install apps and programs like skype?
this site looks very informative and I will be coming back often in the future, any help with this would be appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Here it is my friend...
http://tinyurl.com/y2nrwyp
so I downloaded it directly to the phone, btw, I have a HD2 TMOUS model and could not find it. so after doing a search it I located it and clicked on it to try and install it. it has an error message that says,
"skypemobile is not a valid pocket pc application."
now what can I do????
Install skype mobile on your PC, then active sync with connected telephone to PC will do the rest!
BR,

HD2 Gingerbread vs HTC Sync

Hi,
I am not sure if someone else asked this question. I updated my phone to Nand Gingerbread. Everything works great. However, the major problem I am having is that HTC Sync (on Win7 laptop) does not recognize the device.
In the previous Android (2.2), when we used to connect it to the PC, many options would appear to identify the type of the connection. One of those options was "HTC Sync". Choosing this option used to allow HTC Sync software on the windows pc to recognize the device and sync its contents.
However, in Gingerbread I cannot find anyway to connect my HD2 in a "sync" mode in order to allow HTC Sync to recognize it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
htc sync requires htc sense.

Had the exact same problem when i was trying out a Gingerbread rom, and thanks to Tann he told me about a program called MyPhoneExplorer
It works with your dilema and you'll be back to syncing:
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
And its Free too, cant get any better then that
ooo good find, i looked high and low for an outlook sync solution, cant believe i missed this.
it also seems to include the adb usb drivers, so perhaps this could be installed instead of the whole android sdk for the adb drivers....

Thank you so much. This application seems very useful.
Anyways, my problem is that before I flash my HD2 to Gingerbread, I had Froyo Sense, and I synchronized all my contacts to HTC Sync on my PC, and now after I flashed I found that I cannot get those contacts back...
So I guess my only solution is to flash back to Froyo Sense, get those contacts, sync them using MyPhoneExplorer, and then Flash again to Gingerbread.
Thanks for the help everybody.

HTC Sync uses outlook, you need to look in the setting in the app, you can re-sync your outlook contacts with this program. Thats what its meant for also.

You have to install the tool on your win7 from here.
After that install My Phone Explorer Client from the Market. Connect your phone via WLAN or USB and start the Client on the phone. After that start the app from your win7 and set up your sync source (Outlook/Windows Contacts/Gmail/only MyPhoneExplorer) in settings or via new phone assistent.
You can now sync Contacts/Appointments/SMS/Files/Tasks and Notes (new with separate phone app).
It's the first sync solution where you can sync outlook tasks and notes, I love the tool.

Looks also not bad, but I miss the calendar sync.
And it looks like you can transfer contacts to the phone, but can't sync
changes on the phone or in Outlook.
Can you report please how it works?
