Not connecting correctly or showing up in my XP pro 64bit machine at work. I have the latest drivers. I use to do all my phone stuff at work, but I can't even get to the dang phone to show up and let me access files. I can connect just fine at home on both Vista 64bit and Win7 64bit.
I have had this issue since I got the DX. My D1 worked flawless on whatever I did or had running.
Just a note, I do have Fission running. I also can see the phone and the Moto driver symbol shows up. I can go into manage and the phone is assigned a letter.
Help, this is driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance.
I've had trouble connecting to my W7 x64 machine on Fission. XP x64 is just out of the question. XP x64 wasn't ever really supported; applications were just kinda ported over. Could be your problem. I've had countless problems with it and ended up going back to XP x86 until I got W7.
Well here at work I can't go back to x86. I'm stuck with what I have.
I could randomly connect and get to my SD card with the stock 2.2.1. But it seemed to be hit and miss.
I guess no more flashing roms here at work unless I want to do the downloads over 3g
You could always just get a memory card reader

Is anyone using tethering, either via bluetooth or usb with their verizon 6800 and windows 7?
I used it all the time when i was using xp with my laptop, but havent been able to try it yet with the windows 7 RC partition.
I have a couple of issues which may give me problems, at least right now.
I'm currently overseas, and I dont have verizon service here (australia) so i cant play around and test out to see if i do get it setup and working.
What i want to know is what software and setup i should have on windows 7, or vista, cause i guess theyre probably closer to eachother than xp and 7 are, to allow me to use the ICS sharing in dcd 3.2.6.
i want to figure out how to test that i have it setup correctly, cause on my flight home which is in a week and a half, i have a layover in the san fran airport, and want to be able to use my laptop tethered there while I wait.
any similar situations or help would be great,
Thanks
Yes, I have used it via bluetooth. Assuming you have already paired the phone with the computer via bluetooth, just use the built in ICS from DCD rom, click on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and click 'join a personal area network'. This is pretty much the same as windows XP.
yeah, ive paired it with the comp.
when i was on xp i used the built in dell bluetooth manager, and with windows 7 im using the devices and printers manager. I usually like to connect it with usb so i can keep it charged at the same time.
Hopefully everything works without me needing to download anything, cause i obviously wont have internet in the airport without it.
thanks
I've tried both standard ICS and WMWifiRouter (though not on XV6800) and works fine for me on every device I tried (see signature for a list, I tested most of them).
I've heard from various people that it doesn't work on Windows 7, but plugging it in (for USB) and just waiting a few minutes automatically starts driver installation process, wait a few minutes more and it'll just work.
I have noted that sometimes it does actually take a 10 minute wait before Windows 7 will wake up and realise it has some driver installation to do, but aside from that, 100% success rate here.
I have not tried BT on us many devices as USB, but seems to work everytime as well.
Hello All,
Just put a new 120GB hard drive in the HTC shift and loaded Win7 on it. I went though all the steps on this site (which were very good btw). I got touch screen working, I got internet though the SIM card and the resolution looks good.
The only problem is that device manager shows there is no wifi or bluetooth hardware. The drivers for the wifi seem to install fine, but there are no wifi settings nor is there wifi hardware listed in device manager.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated
Hey Dog****! There's no need to post the same question in both sections on the forum.
Did you enable Wifi and Bluetooth with HTC's Comm Manager before installing Windows 7? I ran into the same problem before, but had to restore Vista (IIRC, press F3 when booting the Shift) to enable them, then go ahead with Windows 7's installation again and all should run just fine.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
I don't want to have to reinstall Vista all over, I have already had to reinstall Win7 just to get everything else to work. I'm worried because I don't even see the hardware listed in device manager. I thought that maybe I had to update the BIOS so that it could "see" the hardware, but it was working before with Vista so the hardware should be able to be seen because BIOS is before the OS so it shouldn't really matter what the OS is.
Really strange...
Have you activated them in HTC's Comm Manager?
Ive bought a netbook running windows 7 starter, now my hd2 wont connect with windows mobile device center.
I originally set up the pc synch(activesync) with an xp laptop and now it wont connect with the windows 7 netbook.
The phone is telling me to install activesync , but i cant because i have to install the newer windows mobile device center WTF
Ive deleted the old connections on activesync on my phone.
Is there something new to download to my hd2?
Any advice?
Thanks
windows mobile device centre does the same as activesync. it is the new name for activesync used on win 7.
i use the starter edition also on my netbook and cannot get mobile devicecentre installed for some weird reason. probably a problem on my netbook
started using ms myphone for the things i used mobiledevice centre for.
There must be way to connect the phone to a Windows 7 starter netbook.
I plan on doing a hard reset and want to preserve all my bookmarks, and also want to flash a ROM , I'm sure ill need to sync my phone to a computer for that?
The phone keeps telling me to install activesync on my pc even though I have to use wmdc.
When I reinstall wmdc on the netbook I keep getting an error and it won't install properly.
It says device manager not installed, or something like that .
It's a bloody mystery!
for flashing a rom you do not need activesync or mobile device centre. I flash my phone from my laptop without. just put the phone in bootloader and you can flash a rom as normal using the custom ruu. alternatively you can flash from memory card.
think ms myphone can backup that also but you have to check to make sure.
on my sig there is a flashing guide, in it there is a download for win 7 windows mobile device center run it and you should be good to go
this has been discussed so often, if you had taken the time to search there would be no need for that thread!
It so easy, just use windows update to download the driver and windows mobile center and that's it. If it doesn't work you are doing it wrong because it works for everybody else that way!

Leave ytour phone, as the problem appears to be with the netbook. make sure your netbook is not connected to the internet, then disable all the security and see if WMDC recognises your phone.
Thanks for the respones, ill try those tips when I get a chance later in the day.
Apologies for starting a new thread if its been discussed many times before.
Right, i think ive tried everything.
Hard reset my hd2
Uninstalled wmdc
Did every windows update available
re-installed wmdc with webroot antivirus turned off and internet access turned off.
And it still wont recognise the hd2
When its installing the driver on my netbook for the hd2 it keeps getting an error - it says "unidentified device : device unplugged" even though it is plugged in and screen is on.
The phone will connect to my netbook for the disk drive option and the internet sharing option, so i dont think its a problem with the hd2 usb connection
Its a real mystery, anyone out there able to crack this one?
have you tried this?
settings, menu, all settings, connections, USB to PC, uncheck "enable faster data sync", click done.
when I did that, my HD2 finally connected to PC after DAYS of trying!
Yep! I sure have
The computer is just is not seeing my phone with the the activesync option, but it is seeing the phone with both the disk drive and internet sharing options.
When i try un-install wmdc some errors keep popping up, i have to manually go into the task manager and kill 2 .exe active files otherwise it wont uninstall, very strange indeed
Maybe it could be a usb port issue, but i have tried all 3 usb ports on my netbook.
Hi pabloh999,
I potentially have a fix for you. I experienced the same errors as you tried all you have and eventually found a fix - by accident!
Set to airplane mode on & then off. After this my connections & syncs were fine.
Let us know how you go.

Tried that and - nothing!
Its just not recognising my phone, its saying "device unplugged"
I even turned off the charging function when plugged into a pc, just in case that was draining too much juice from the usb port.
No problem solvers out there??
I am thinking now it could be a problem with the usb ports on my netbook.
On one of my million attempts i got a windows error message saying that i should use a high speed usb port, and it gave me a list of "high speed" usb ports on my computer.
I dont know how to use this information because it doesnt physically show which of my 3 usb ports is the "high speed one(s)"
I thought the three of them are the same?
I tried updating the usb drivers to no avail
Fu**ing pissin me off!
Sync with Win 7
Same problem here, Tried everything on the web and on XDA and still cant sync.
Is this a Microsoft Problem, Oh by the way dont agree with d3l1
Ican still sync with my old XP laptop, but my new Win 7 is crap... (Both are Asus machines)
Any pointers would be welome. Ta.
It took me countless hours to get my previous phone the HTC Hero to be seen by Windows 7. If you've had problems with the USB and drivers, you know the pain. Somehow I managed to get it to work.
Yesterday I got the Evo. Stupidly, I uninstalled the working setup to prepare for the unrevoked hboot modified drivers. I either thought they would conflict or were told they would conflict. After trying a whole night, I couldn't get the 'adb devices' to see the Evo despite chasing my own tail with Windows madness, looking for drivers, installing and uninstalling HTC Sync, deleting USB entries with usbdeview, updating drivers, yada, yada.
I gave up. I decided to use the Ubuntu install I have hosted by VMWare on my Windows box. After two tractable problems, I got 'adb devices' seeing the Evo!
Screw Windows for connecting to Android.
I use Win7 and had zero problems connecting my phone when I bought it.
After installing drivers (?) and then uninstalling sync (per root instructions) I plugged in the phone and off I went.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, perhaps something from your Hero days carried over and caused additional problems for the Evo.
Here's one option that worked for me - adjust your start up services: Go to your msconfig menu, click selective startup, click services tab, hide all MSFT services, then disable all start up items. recheck the items you know you need, like Antivirus software, adobe licensing for PDFs, etc. then reboot.
Before I did this, it was very hit or miss whether my Evo would connect to my Dell Windows7 (ultimate-64bit) laptop. I haven't found the exact culprit start up service, but I know that this works so I haven't done anything else with it. It might work for you too?

Same deal for me.
Until I uninstalled sync the phone wouldn't connect and gave me all types of problems.
Drivers stayed installed after I removed sync, and everything was good to go.
never used the htc sync to install my phone, but i have had far worse luck installing the drivers for windows xp than i have had on windows 7. it was pretty painless to get 7 up and running.
google is your friend.
see if this page helps you. you may need to grab the usb drivers, also linked on same page, depending on the version of w7 you have. make sure your sdk is updated as well. if you haven't updated since using the hero, you'll need to.

Thanks for this and other pointers. I did visit the very page above. I updated the SDK using the manager.
I tried the SDK r7 drivers, the HTC Sync 2.0.40 drivers, the Vista 64 bit drivers, the revoked modded drivers, etc. but no go.
I didn't try the services suggestion above.
I could get 'Android BootLoader Interface' seen in Device Manager according to the Unrevoked instructions. I could also get 'Android ADB Interface' seen too. I didn't test the former; the latter didn't seem to work. 'adb devices' shows no devices. Both were entries under 'Android Phone'.
What's interesting is that the Hero appeared as or under 'Android USB Device' (with two other entries).
I realized how flakey or difficult Windows 7 usb was when during the above exercise, I deleted a bunch of unrecognized device entries, for the sake of cleanup, in USBDeview and wound up nuking the very keyboard I was typing on. It is a Dell keyboard that should be plug and play -- looked it up on the other computer -- and no matter what I did, Windows 7 would complain of it having no driver.
Rather than trying to spend a few more hours figuring out the logic of it, I simply swapped for the Dell keyboard on the other computer. Voila! It works.
The same pragmatism carried over to the main project. Rather than continue to wrestle with Windows 7, I tried Ubuntu on the same box. I have it running anyway, why not.
So Windows 7 and HTC devices is arbitrary depending on your setup. YMMV. I'm happy for anyone who has never encountered these problems. I'm not one of them.
I need the MSL of the phone--I might have to tussle with the diagnostic drivers...

Why don't you just call and ask for it? It's easy, takes two seconds. I don't understand why people are so freaked out by just asking for their MSL.
It's so hard to install that free software with all of the drivers that is on Sprint's website!
I was having problems also then tried a free program called adb wireless. It let's me connect through Wifi and has worked great since.
no troubles here with win7 and my evo

Allright everyone, I'm in serious need of help now becouse I just can't get the usb tethering to work with 64bit w7 and my DHD. So far i've tried several other (RNDIS) drivers including the one that comes with HTC sync, generic one and pdanet driver... So far none of them have worked.
When trying to hook DHD to computer and selecting usb tethering as connection of choice i briefly see htc rndis device popping up in network adapters page but it disappears allmost immediatly without any pop-ups about errors or anything. The only way I have managed to get tethering work on my setup is to use pdanet but I'd rather use it like it was supposed to work, as in without any third-party programs in between...
So please, I'm getting desperate since I've been trying to figure this out for 2 days already and I'm running out of ideas and nerves....
the problem may caused by the firewall u using. i use win 7 x64 too. i had issues with nod/nis firewall. disabling it solves the problem but bring up the risk of connecting to the internet without the protection. since im not an advanced user in configuring firewalls i dont have better solution but im sure it exists. try to search google in the topic of share a computers internet access to another, firewall settings
hope this helps a bit

I am with 64bit Win7 Ultimate and have no issues at all. I'm with HTC's drivers and the firewall that comes with windows. You might have some trouble with a third party firewall if you use one.
