Trinity/DoPod Issues

Anyone-Please try to help me with these issues:
1. When the unit is in STBY (no screen output) and i connect any USB cable the PDA "wakes-up" and if connected to a PC will start doing a Sync, is there anyway to stop the "wake-up" when connecting a USB cable (-or installing Mini-SD card).......all i want to do is charge the unit while it's in STBY mode. In my old Mio 168RS this could be done in Settings. Maybe someone has a small application that can do this?
2. Sometimes when i innitiate Active Sync i get this Error "To Sync this device you must install ActiveSync 4.0 or higher on your Desktop computer"....but actually i'm running ActiveSync 4.5 already on my PC!!??
Then i need to remove the ActiveSync from my PC and re-install it again until the next time.

Not in stb mode you can switch off the 3600 it still charging etc. only it is off

I don't know if this could help because I never tried it. However, I tried to disable the usb connection from Active Sync for other purposes. In Active Sync program, you can actuallly choose to turn off the usb detection (which can be turned back on anytime). That way, Active Sync will not automatically update your device, hence, turning your device on. In that case, you can just plug in your device for charging purpose.

Thanks for your inputs but this is not what i'm looking for.
In my old Mio168RS there was the possibility in "Settings" that the unit did not come out of STBY mode when connecting to a USB input or when inserting an external SD card.
By the way turning the unit "OFF" will also turn off the phone!!

One additional question that someone might be able to help is if there any way to increase the Speaker Phone volume above and beyond what can be done within the settings.???

quick question about the TP2 and car stereos.

most car stereos today have a USB in for connecting an IPod, Zune, whatever.
do these work with the TP2?

Probably yes (haven't tried it myself), but when you connect your TP2 to an USB-host (which the car stereo is), the TP2 asks you which mode you want (Active Sync, Disk Drive or Internet Sharing). If you select Disk Drive, the microSD card shows up as a diskdrive in windows (or your car stereo...)

Yup, what andrehj says.
All devices that show up as Mass Storage will definately work on car stereo's. Worked on mine. But I never use it. Because mine has Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP support (stereo streaming). It works flawlessly.
No wires for me. Except the charger itself. xD

Simultaneous program access?
I can confirm that the TP2 works in drive mode as an input for a car stereo. However it appears the phone restricts access to the storage card in this mode and programs cannot access it, which means things like TomTom cannot access maps.
Does anyone know a way around this? Is it a WinMo restriction or something else?

Please specify "drive mode"?
I've used mine playing music through A2DP in combination with Tomtom Navigator 7 + Benelux maps.
The only downside I experienced was that the Tomtom voice was much louder than the music I played. Thus when adjusting the music volume to a much louder level, that Tomtom woman scares the heck outta me. Like when needed to take a turn, it's more like "GO LEFT!!!!!! W$E%T#@$%[email protected](#%|(!# ". In between the music.
No problem with tomtom reading the maps though.

'Drive mode' via USB
Thanks Crix84. By 'drive mode' I meant the Disk Drive mode that you can select when connecting via USB. I expect accessing via the BT profile is quite different which is why things work for your setup.
That TT girl would be scary at high volume!

Ohhh okay now I understand. You mean't the mass storage function I was talking about in a previous post of mine.
Well for what I've found and experienced. That mode makes the phone really function like a USB stick aka Mass Storage Device. At that moment only the MicroSD card is blocked from access within the phone. For what I know, the driver used for Mass Storage (any windows system or other) is a standardized universal driver. Wich means it must be as illogic to access the card both from within the phone and the computer/car-radio through USB at the same time. Like using 1 usb stick on 2 pc's by using a usb splitter. Device in use means in use.
Active Sync in the other hand uses a different kind of USB connection. It accesses the phone itself, through that, the card. Mass Storage is a direct function to the microsd card. Kind of a bypass. For compatibility issues. When you just want to put something on your card without the hassle of installing drivers (on old pc's) etc. Wich would really mean that the maps on the card for Tomtom are inaccessible. That would really be indeed a problem. The only solution for that is either use the phone as I do. Bluetooth A2DP not available? Then the car-audio system should change the access mode to the phone. Maybe an active sync like solution/connection. Problem is most manufacturers do that. Thinking of only using a USB stick on the radio. Mine does that too. Only mass storage devices are accepted through my radio's usb.

My Touch just doesn't show up on PC

Hi, I'm so new to WinMo and this forum
My sis just gave me her Touch and asked me to back up her contacts. Now she's using a Nokia E65.
First I used a regular Mini Usb cable to connect the phone to PC. Nothing happens. My PC (the OS is Windows 7) didn't even show that some device had just been connected. I tried on my laptop (running XP) and it's just the same. Uhm, not really. The laptop shows that "USB device not regconized".
But the phone showed that it was charging. The cable is fine, it is the one that I use to connect my N95 to PC. I didn't try the cable included in the phone package, however I'm not sure my sis does keep it.
Then I tried to use bluetooth for Sync. Since my laptop's bluetooth just didnt work, I went out and got an external USB Bluetooth device (or is it called Bluetooth USB Dongle?). My PC regconized the Bluetooth device immediately, and I was able to sync my N95 with PC using PC Suite.
But then it didnt quite regconized my Touch. Sometimes it did, sometimes didnt. Sometimes my Touch did really get connected with the PC (after the Passkey part). Then I refreshed to see services to use from the computer, but nothing shows up. In fact sometimes it showed "ActiveSync", but after I refresded it just disappeared. So I just couldnt sync my Touch with the PC.
What should I do next? Do I have to send the contacts one by one to her new phone (it's about hundreds of contacts). Could it be the USB connector(s) on my phone that were broken? And after a hard reset should everything be fine? (I think I will do that after backing up the contacts).
Thanks for reading my bad English

I used my girlfriend's cable (from her Nokia N95, same to yours) and it worked perfectly with my HTC Touch, so maybe you have an hardware issue...
Are you sure that ActiveSync accepts incoming connections? Have a look at the app in the device

Lol, it's just a regular cable from a package which I was given. Not even the original cable of N95. But, well, it works perfectly with N95.
Where can I change the incoming settings?
But since nothing really happens everytime I plug the Touch to the PC, I think it's a hardware issue too. It would be bad (costly?) if I have to get someone fix that thing.

Go to Start > ActiveSync, then tap the Menu button and select Connections... Be sure that the option is cheched and USB is selected...
I have an italian ROM so i'm not sure that the words will be exatcly the same...

Yes, everything was checked. So that may be a hardware issue.
But I can still charge with the cable, while I cant do any data thing. Is that something weird?

That's strange, but i don't know how is the device made, so it may be possible...

Questions to ask.
- Are you using the latest ActiveSync + Drivers?
- Have you tired different USB ports?
- Different Cables?
Is your activesync settings point to usb?
Go to the config to check

Lol, I finally got my Touch show up on PC.
Last night I did it once with the Bluetooth connection. But that connection was so unstable that after that one time I couldnt do it again.
I tried a few more times, but it was still the same. Then I searched on the Internet, and someone showed the solution for the Touch not charging when plugged to PC: untick the box "Charge when connect to PC" (or something like that). I did the same, then plugged the phone to PC. Then the sound of some device connecting to PC suddenly appeared. I was so surprise, and when I open Windows Mobile Device Center and see my phone connected, I just couldnt believe in my eyes ) Just untick some stupid checkbox, and the problem that was giving me headache for a few days suddenly gone.
Today's morning when I tick that box (meaning the phone will get energy from USB connection to charge) and connect it to my PC, it still recognized my phone. Now I can check or uncheck that box, and the PC will recognize my phone no matter what.
Lol, it feels so strange using a WinMo phone. I've never used a WinMo before, just Symbians )

Well great to hear that, ping us back if you have further problems.
Actually Software issues is easy to fix, but when it comes to hardware problems, like the IC chip and all those, its a big headache.
All the best for your HTC Touch

Windows 7 connection issue??

So my Droidx arrived at my work today, used it all day .. (work pc is win98) it was charging and it was working great.. I was lovin it.. .. I also could get into the sd card from "my computer"
Then I get home, I plug the phone in... pc just keeps indicating its connected then disconnects, keeps doing this... and top it off phone just keeps yelling droid, driod, driod.. wow.. talk about annoying... then phone just died. I have it pluged into a wall now charging...
I do have USB Mass Storage enabled
any suggestions..
Already downloaded the drivers from motorolas site also.
Thanks,
Marc

I connected mine to my home computer which is windows 7 x64, drivers installed automatically from phone. Rebooted computer and phone and then everything worked. Could browse phone as mass storage or as a device in the native windows application. Didn't install any sofware from Motorola.

I would think the constant connect and disconnect would indicate a bad usb cable or port.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

So phone ws fuly charged this morning, plugged it in to the pc.. flawless.
weird stuff

[Q] Partly broken USB input - charging but "unknown device"

Hi guys!
I've had a problem over the day with my beloved HD2, and I've started to fear that it might actually be the hardware starting to decay. About a day or two ago, when inserting my phone to the MicroUSB cable, it recognized the HD2 just fine, had access too USB mount, ADB and all of that. Transfered some music to the SD-card (Trancent 16gigs Class 4, btw - still very well recognized by the phone to the time at writing this), but now, some time later I get nothing out of connecting the phone to either my laptop or rig.
I know it's not the drivers or the cable, since I've tried with others cables and a few other computers. The message is the same old "The device could not be recognized". But the funny thing is, somehow the device must know that its connected to a computer anyway, 'cause it instantly enables debugging and the option to enable mount. I, as of now, has had no luck getting into the SD card, sadly. Not even been able to pull logcats or anything, setting up wireless ADB hasn't been sucessful either - so where I stand now, I'm kinda in need for a helping hand.
Has anyone else ever had this problem too, or am I left out in the cold?
By the way, even managed to put on an older nightly CM9 build, as it was stored on my SD. No luck there either. MAGLDR mount / recovery mount doesn't function either. Same error.
The ROM I first had the problem on was PARANOIDANDROID v0.6. Then a nightly CM9 from sometime last week. Both immensely close to stock and ICS based. LEO512, by the way.
Please, give me a hand!
TL;DR: USB broken, still charging, help.

Your usb is getting loose (usb data connection becomes irratic and then stops working, continued use results in USB port ripped from mainboard), try to not use it while plugged in and see if the repair shop can fix it for you without breaking usb data. You can use the SwiFTP app in playstore to transfer files in the mean time.
You may also want to use a cradle charger to minimize USB port being used.
