Hi
getting to the point of pulling my hair out. I have an Orange M600 running WM5. The only change I have made is to make the GPS icon visible.
I have a new laptop running Vista Home Premium.
I have downloaded the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC).
When I connect my M600 to my laptop (via USB), the phone screen turns on and the phone starts charging.
But the laptop refuses to recognise that there are any devices attached. No drivers are installed and WMDC does not list any connected devices.
The cable and phone work perfectly with my XP PC but not with the Vista laptop.
This is a little frustrating. Anyone else come across this problem and solved it?
Solved
Finally resolved this.
The USB cable that worked on my XP desktop must have had a fault on it, because a different USB cable on the laptop got it all working fine.
Vista Home Premium/ Windows Mobile Device Centre / WM5 all seem to work together.
Hi,
Having my HD since a week, I am doing synchronisation with windows mobile on vista x64.
Everything is fine using the usb data cable but not using bluetooth.
The HD is recognized as I can see HTC50 but as soon vista starts, I am requested to provide a driver that I have found nowhere.
If I go in the vista device control panel, there is a bluetooth device not working properly as no driver available.
Contacted the HTC hotline, they told me they will call me back within 48 hours.
It was 5 days ago...
Anyone having the same problem or a solution?
Friend of mine with Vista64bit also had problems, and bought Bluesoleil 64bit for better profile support. You can testdrive it with 2mb limit.

Thanks Lucas but for me it is the job of HTC to have a smooth integration within an OS like vista.
If not I will sell this device and go for an iphone.
UP :-(

The problem is probably the driver on windows vista, so switching to another phone will not help much. Besides..."smooth integration within an OS like vista" and "iphone" you have got to be joking!!!

Please guys,
Could someone tells me he succeeds to synchronise the touch hd with a vista x64 through bluetooth?
The HTC support finally called me back asking to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 vista x64 but didn't work...
AFAIK this will not work with Vista. At least not with the Vista bluetooth stack.
I have the same problem you describe with my Wizard and my Diamond.
After switching to the Widcomm bluetooth stack I remember being able to synchronize my phones over BT.
I don't know exactly where the problem lies and if only HTC is to blame here.
I'm sorry, I can't give you a solution here.
Still, if you like to give it a try, go to

I sync my Hermes with my Vista 64bit.
But I don't know wich BT-Stack is installed.
My laptop is an Asus V1S.
HTC customer support line
Dont hold your breath waiting for them to get back to you, i waited two months to get a reply email asking me to call their helpline.
Absolutely useless!!!!!!!
yeah, same problem at my side......
I'm using IBM T61p, and the update from broadcom site doesnt work......
Yesterday I have come across something interesting.
I had to hard-reset my device and afterwards it would not be recognized in Windows Mobile Device Center when connecting via USB cable. I heard the sound from the Device Manager, so Vista knew the device was connected, but it wouldn't show up in WMDC.
So I reinstalled WMDC, but still no luck.
But - and here comes - I was able to pair my HD over bluetooth with my PC and Vista installed the bluetooth drivers for the phone! I am now able to synchronize over bluetooth!
Sadly synchronizing over USB cable does not work any more.
For all of you having trouble with WMDC and bluetooth, try reinstalling WMDC 6.1, maybe this helps.
Regards
K_Hismoom
I too could never get a connection initiated from WMDC to the HD, with standard Vista Bluetooth. Pairing the the Vista desktop pc with the HD never was a problem, but Activesync. Then I tried to start the sync from the HD - and it worked.
Go the the Settings tab in TouchFlo3D, and use the first tab "Sync data" (Daten synchronisieren in German), and the HD connected itself to the WMDC, via the Hama Nano bluetooth dongle using standard Vista drivers. Give it a try!
OK, finally I got it work successfully.
The way to connect HD with PC, have to from HD to PC, can't from PC to HD.
I'm doing steps as follow:
1. set your PC's bluetooth as discoverable.
2. at HD side, search PC with bluetooth
3. after that, pair HD with PC
4. open your active sync on the HD, and select connect with bluetooth
5. after connected, everything works
Now I can explore my HD on my PC, everything is OK.
I have the same issue. I keep getting a message on my vista pc that Windows cannot install the device driver for a bluetooth peripheral.....very annoying!!
i also have this problem (vista cant find drivers). i'm trying to get the beta sideshow app workinng.
any help would be great.
thanks
Touch HD driver problem
I am having some bluetooth problems too but not exactly as you describe. I have a Touch HD and have it syncing over bluetooth with my Lenovo laptop (Vista32) and my PC (Vista64) fine. However, everytime I connet the phone, Windows tries to install drivers for it but can't find them. The drivers seem to be bluetooth related because if I go into Bluetooth Devices and click the Touch HD and search services, either nothing is listed or sometimes just "telephony". So I can't use any of my phones bluetooth profiles like internet sharing.
I have a weird feeling that it has something to do with the Touch HD Hotfixes that HTC has released recently.
Has anyone out there been able to fix the issue?????
luketoms, I have exactly the same problem as yours with my HTC Touch Pro and vista x64. This related to bluetooth driver in my point of view.
I haven't found any solution for that.
Has anyone a clue ?
Thx
I share your problem too, luketoms & gbouille. Espescially annoying, since I have connected my HD before sucessfully, with Vista locating the right drivers from Windows Update, displaying it as a HTC Touch HD T8282. Independent from WMDC.
Now, it seems my HD and laptop are no longer friends.
Does it say 'Missing bluetooth peripheral device'? If it does, right click on the device for properties. Click on update driver OR
Go to device manager, you'll see an unknown device named bluetooth peripheral device. Double click it to open its properties
Click 're-install driver' on the second tab.
Click Browse my computer for driver software' button
Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
There may be a list asking for device type, select 'bluetooth radios'
On the next page there will be a list of company names on the left side and a list of drivers on the right. In the company list choose 'Microsoft Corporation' ... not 'Microsoft'. Confirm selection is microsoft corporation.
On the drivers list there may be one or more driver versions for the mobile phone, select a newer version.
Click next, and ignore any warnings and keep pressing next
Then it shows successfully installed drivers
phabreel : it does indeed! Thankyou. Still, windows will not recognize the HD as a PAN compatible device when searching for it through the bluetooth wizard. And it has done just that before!
I have a problem synchronising my HTC Touch P3452 (also called T-Mobile XDA Touch / the model with 256 Rom / 128 Ram).
Simple: It doesn't work.
When I connect the USB cable the batterie starts being charged, but there is neither the typical Windows sound when an USB device is connected, nor does the "Windows Mobile Devices Centre" recognize the device.
When I try to start the active sync connection in the connection manager of the HTC touch it tells me to install the synchronising software first or to configure an exchange server.
Enabling or disabling the hook for "advanced network functions" in the "USB to PC" settings of the HTC touch connection options makes no difference.
Some infos:
ROM-version: 2.81.111.1 GER
Rom-date: 08/29/07
ExtROM-version: 2.81.111.103
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64bit, DHCP-device-service is active, all updates are installed.
I'd try updating the firmware, but obviously it's not possible without a working active sync connection.
PS: My older HTC Touch P3450 (128/64) has no problem at all. I connect it, it starts synchronising. The HTC Touch 3452 is from a friend of mine and when I asked him he said he was able to synchronize, but under Windows Vista. I don't see why it shouldn't work in Windows 7.
Hi
Ì don't have Win 7 but I think I read somewhere you have to put it in compatibility mode with Win xp
Edit: a little search and I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519602
(you should try it too )
Put what in WinXP compatibility mode? The HTC? How. I never heard this was even an option.
Or do you mean the mobile device center? Why should I do that, it's a programm native to Win7 and it works with the older HTC, so normally it should with the never device, too.
And about your second link...well I already have Win7 (not the RC version) and the latest version of the windows mobile device center is already installed (came with the operating system). There is no windows update for that either, just checked.
I'll try to get my hands on a bluetooth-usb-stick, see if that connects properly. Unfortunately I don't own one...
I don't see any problem with my P3452 sync with Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit Version. In fact it work instantly when I connect the USB cable to my laptop after I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7.
Did the cable connect properly? or the USB port on the phone itself?
How many pc the phone have sync to? I remember cannot be more than 2, but I might be wrong.

It's only one PC and I think the cable connects properly, because the phone is getting charged when I attach the cable. On the other hand there is no Windows sound indicating a USB-device has been connected and the device doesn't show up in the workstation.
So it might be the USB connector which is broken (the cable worked without any problem on my older HTC so it should be okay). As the device is already a few years old I don't have any guarantee left.
On the weekend I will try to connect it via bluetoot with my brothers notebook (don't have bluetooth on my pc). If that works I will get me a cheap bluetooth usb dongle...
Also check pins aren't bent inside on the phone?

They look okay to me. Nicely in a row, none is bent.
After some little trouble setting it up, synchronizing via bluetooth worked today.
Thanks for all the answers.
Goodday!
i got the following problem,
When i am trying to connect my hd2 with my computer it all works fine. But when i want to sync my phone trough active sync, it doesn't see my HD2. I can send packages like pictures or movies to my phone trough this bluetooth connection but i really want to update my HD2.
My phone doenst connect with usb anymore so thats why im trying to store an bluetooth connection. (I am using windows XP.)
If you guys could help me out i would be verry pleased, thnx instead!
Download and install Windows Mobile Device Centre, everything should work fine afterwards!
i thought that windows device center isn't working for windows xp users?
you want to update your HD2 using bluetooth because usb cable is no longer working?
Simply, Bluetooth is not a replacement for the USB cable. You can't apply ROM updates through Bluetooth, you have to fix the USB
