Hi,
I've got an MDA Vario II and in general there are a few niggles, but nothing too bad for a WM5 device. The one thing that is getting to me though is when I connect to my PC using Active Sync 4.2 everything works fine.
The problem arises when I try and transfer files to the SD Card. I get about 10 to 12 megs across and then active sync and my phone freeze. I have to disconnect and reconnect.
Is this a problem with active sync or the phone? For small files I don't want to have to remove the card all the time.
Thanks

i have upgraded my magician to 2.03, for some time it worked normally, but then i changed its cover. i turned it on and windows loads up but it says my sim card is disconnected and ive tried to connect it to pc. BATTERY charges and orange light is on but my pc (and other pc ive tried) does not find my phone, active sync on magician also does not show my computer. ive tried resetting the phone (that fixed SIM card problem!), reinstalling active sync, activesync on other pc but no luck... any ideas?
try connecting with bluetooth!!
at first i need to buy that (it is possible)
My wife's Touch (on Win 6.1) screen is not working; it seems that both digitizer and screen have gone bad.
We have received replacement phone but I need to download data from her broken phone (such as pics/contacts/footprints) before we swap replacement phone with broken phone and ship broken phone back.
Phone is not visible on ActiveSync (I think Phone as Disk Drive option was checked previously), so I can not connect the phone to PC.
Any other suggestions to download data from phone's memory to PC?

Shows on your PC a window that is what's on your phone.
and you can control the phone from the pc
Thanks guys, that's exactly what I was looking for as far as controlling Touch from PC is concerned.
NFSFAN's ROMs have three connection USB options:
ActiveSync
Disk Drive
Internet Sharing
But yet, whenever I connect Touch to PC, by default it goes to Disk Drive mode without going through ActiveSync setting.
Or, is there any way to force ActiveSync setting remotely?
After installing Miri's rom 6.5.x my HD2 started crashing every time I connect it to the PC whether it is on ActiveSync or DiskDrive mode. It sometimes crashes right after I connect it , but most times after I disconnect it. I have installed Steve007 and SUperboy007 Elegance theme , Midomi , ManilaBirthday , Klaxon , NetRipper's KeypadLedControl , CorePlayer 1.3.6, AppToDate, JWMD Icon Changer, TouchPal, cleanRAM, TorchButton, Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch, Mosko.Mobi FIM , Jaguaralani HD2 Action Screen , SRS WOWHD , Resco Explorer and Resco Photo Manager , Xtask , SPB Backup and BSB Tweaks 1.6.
Could you please tell me what is wrong ?
I did hard reset after I flashed the rom.
Anybody?
your whole device or just audio manager?
dont know if this is of interest to you:

My problem is different.My whole device crashes and needs a soft reset after I disconnect it from the PC
Have you installed any of those to the storage card? Because the storage card is not available to the phone when you connect in file mode, though it should be ok in active sync mode. Most of those things should not be installed on storage card anyway.
Also, when you connect the phone it seems to me that it starts to prepare the pre-selected option right away, so if the last time you connected in file mode, this connection will be opened as soon as you connect, and if you change to another connection, the first connection is dropped and the other opened. To avoid this you could go into the usb settings and change connection mode before inserting the usb cable.

I've found my HD2 the same problem. As most of my apps were installed on SD card, when I connect the phone to PC, it's OK until I run an app that was installed on card while the phone remains connected to PC. Afterward, the phone freezes without any word.
Just a piece of my own experience...
Are there any new hints on this item?
My HD2 also freezes, as soon as I disconnect from USB, using hard disk mode. (When using USB to ActiveSync, there are no freezes).
this used to happen to me 2 months ago, but i cant rememeber what was eactly the reason, it may have been 'a theme, task manager or as i rememeber i suspected G profile '...
nothing of these is installed on my device (beside the OEM task manager).
Thanks anyway!
Just try to give it some time. Due to the fact that windows as well as several programs use some kinda autoplay options when external storage device are connected it may take some time until you can use your device. Mine freezes for seconds to one or two minutes until it can be used.
I remember when I made a rom and it didn't include a few oems in my kitchen, it caused freezing when I tried to access the sd card when connected to the computer
have you flashed a new rom to see if the rom isn't the problem?
I only flashed the new official Vodafone 1.72 ROM.
Exactly same kind of problem in HTC touch HD
I know I am discussing this in HTC touch HD2 forum, but I have HTC Touch HD and facing exactly same kind of problem. Have Upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5. Worked flawlessly for 5 months until now. Phone freezes in the Today screen right after connecting to computer thru USB and have to resurrect by resetting. I have Winterface UI installed. It used to work fine before. Please help.
I have noticed after many many efforts and after reading many subjects about the freezing issue, and after almost dumping the HD2 in the garbage, that the reason for this problem is the SD card 32 fat. I have switched a couple of 8GB cards and the system freeze starts within minutes. Then I copied every thing onto a 4G card 16fat and the mobile is flying since then.
Also avoid spb-traveler as it has a conflict with the device making it very slow and full of errors.
Still a problem...
I was excited when I saw that someone had posted on this subject, as I too am plagued by my phone crashing when its connected to USB to the pc. Unfortunately, the post was from a long time ago. I'm using the newest T-mobile rom 3.14.531.1 and it occurs EVERY time I plug the phone into my Windows 7 computer or my Mac...
I don't specifically believe that it's related to the SD card itself, because I can connect in Android via USB and this isn't a problem. I suppose, this could be an issue if it's just related to WM 6.5. My next option (my phone is not with me currently) is to remove the SD card and plug in the phone and see if the same thing happens. If it still occurs, I believe that would 100% rule out the SD card as the issue.

Well, I removed the SD card and when I plugged it into a computer it STILL acted weird. The symptoms seemed different though. First, I can't hit the start button. Well, I can physically touch it, but it does not respond at all. Nor does the start icon at the top take me to the start menu. Also, I tried to go into settings > Menu > All Settings to then turn off sense to see if that was the problem, and it won't even let me in to the 'all settings.'
I guess next step is to just do a hard reset in hopes that this fixes the problem, that or move to a custom rom. I just don't really want to do either because I have a lot of stuff I'd rather not tweak to get to where my phone is at again.
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
Thanks
Hey
Just turn the data sync options like fb and twitter to off. ANd you phone will be running in no time. JUST went to the same problem today and found turning data options off as the best solution.

I have a Touch HD that has a faulty touchscreen which doesn't recognise screen presses.
It's going to go back as faulty and should be replaced however I need to get the contacts off the device before it's sent back.
When I connect the Touch HD to a PC it defaults to internet connection sharing and I can read the sd card as a removable drive.
Is there any way to way to change the default connection method to activesync without using the touchscreen, all other buttons work?
Is there any way of remotely controlling the Touch HD from a pc?
I've arranged for the phone to collected for warranty but realised that I don't have some of the numbers off it so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion but unless I'm mistaken they rely upon connecting the phone to the pc via activesync and unfortunately I can't do this because when you connect the phone it remembers and defaults to the last connection type which was as a modem not as active sync.
If anyone knows a way of reseting this via the pc and sd card or using the other buttons such as volume up, down and power then please let me know.
Even if so ... Under Windows mobile Device Center you can use device without setting up and then use File manager to discover the HDD and SD card.
At least under Win7 I am able ...

Unless I'm missing something doing this allows access to the storage card as a removable drive but nothing else as the phone doesn't go into active sync mode unless you select it on the screen and I can't do that.
Is it possible to write and execute a function to the sd card (perhaps even autorun) that changes the default option on the phone to active sync?
hmm, that's a tough one, but I have an idea.
One thought that came to mind is to install My Mobiler on your PC. That allows you to control the HD via the mouse on the PC. Of course, it requires the active sync connection that you are trying to get to - so it doesn't really help.... EXCEPT that in your case, it might.
Normally, MyMobiler only connects when the phone is using activesync. However, when the phone is set to "share internet connection", My Mobiler attempts to connect to the phone anyway. If the phone is NOT able to connect to the internet (via 3G etc) then My Mobiler is successful in connecting to the phone. If the phone is able to connect to the internet, then My Mobiler does not connect to the phone.
So, try this.
Turn the phone off and take out the SIM card (that way the phone will not be able to connect to the internet).
Turn the phone on and wait until it is all booted up.
Plug it into the PC via USB.
In your case, it will connect as "share internet".
On your PC, open My Mobiler and wait for it to connect to the phone (it might install it on your phone for the first time too). Once you see your phone's screen on the My Mobiler window, you can control the phone via your mouse.
On the phone (via mouse), go to:
Start > settings (if on HTC Sense, then Settings tab > Menu > all settings)
Now go to connections > usb to pc
This might all vary depending on the ROM you are using, but the general idea should be correct.
There you can change the settings for how the phone connects when plugged in via usb. You can set it to always connect via active sync. Then, the next time you plug in your phone, active sync should start and you should be able to backup your contacts as usual or delete them off the phone etc.
I tested the steps and it worked. I hope it works for you. Let me know.
EDIT:
If My Mobiler still will not connect, you can change the settings of My Mobiler so that it will connect with the phone via IP instead of active sync.
To do so, in My Mobiler, go to "File > open settings" and scroll almost to the bottom of that text file to find where you would need to change the settings.
