Wirelessly Sync folders on PC AND WiMO?

Hi,
So here's what I want to do:
I have a folder on my pc with files in it. I want that to sync that with a Cloud storage type system online. Then I want a folder on my Touch Pro 2 to sync with that online folder. Now I know what your thinking and before you flame me with stuff like dropbox, sugarsync, mesh, myphone etc... they can't do that. They sync from pc to online just fine, but then on the tp2 I have to navigate to the web to retrieve files, or with sugarsync there is an app to install and I can load the app and download the files to a folder that way. I don't want to do that. I want a folder to always stay sync'd. I've search all over and can't find that kind of functionality. This would be real handy in a scenario where i need to constantly sync 5 or more phones together with multiple pc's. I don't want to tell the user, ok go to www.getdropbox.com or load this or load that...
I hope I am just missing something and it does exsist.

Live Mesh does exactly what you are talking about. Just leave it running if you need it constantly updated rather than just when you run it. That is the exact purpose of Live Mesh...

Unless i missed something, then it only works that way if your able to install mesh and sign in on your phone. I didnt think they were accepting anymore ppl for testing on mobile devices. I installed it and checked just to see. Without this, your forced to grab files from the web.

I can't get the live mesh program to work on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. It lets me enter my login info and then crashes while logging in. Is there something I'm missing?

No clue about why it would crash. It doesn't matter anyway, you can't use it. It's closed to new people.
Anyone have any thoughts about the actual topic of this thread? There has to be a way... No one needs to do this?!

It's not closed. You just need to activate your mesh account for windows mobile which involves clicking on a specific link. I did it and I got the client installed and working. Works great! But wouldn't want to deviate from the actual topic of this thread...

How would that be deviating? If there is a way to get into Mesh and it's not closed, that would potentially directly solve the original post.

I will report if this works. Thanks!

it definitely worked for me. you'll see that windows mobile becomes an option in your mesh after visiting this link. but getting the program to validate on your device (touch pro 2) is hit or miss. i just had to try it many times and finally it worked. then there is also an issue of the program crashing upon startup that i mentioned above. i've narrowed that down to being related to the memory card. the program will start if i remove the memory card prior to executing it. i can then put the memory card back in while the program is in the login screen and it works. still trying to find a better solution. let me know if you have any luck.

Been playing with it all night. So far it's working flawlessly. No crashes at all. I have a 8gb storage card. It's sync'd to and from 1 other verizon phones, and 4 pc's... It's cool, you take a pic with your phone and voila it's on my wife's phone too, as well as the mobile picture directory at home. Would love to help you get it working too. Have you checked out this forum?

You can also use Remote Touch. It doesn't sync, but it does allow you to transfer files remotely, back and forth from your desktop and your phone. And of course, you get the added benefit of controlling your desktop remotely with your phone.
When I'm in a hurry to leave the office I'll queue a bunch of files in RemoteTouch and have my phone download them while I'm on the road.

Can you tell me the exact phone you have? Is it the Verizon touch pro 2? Maybe it's my brand of memory card? It's definitely good when it's working.
Also, did you have any trouble validating the phone on the mesh? Took me several attempts and it seems other people had the same issue. I have been to the site you linked a little bit but maybe more research is in order.

can you tell me if the live mesh client is running robustly on your touch pro2? i had tons of crashes the last time i messed with this. haven't tried it since. most of the problems i had are documented in this thread.

For the op, there is a Schaps Network plugin, http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67564. It may do what you want, too. Not sure. Just making a suggestion.

No, I certainly couldn't say "robustly." It's more like "haphazardly."

Facebook keeps logging out :(

I installed WM7 into my HD2, contacted MS, activated marketplace and xbox using the tut. All went mighty smooth thanks to you guys.
Only problem im facing is that FB refuses to stay logged in. I log in once, browse , close it and then when I come back, it says
"facebook passwork is incorrect".
I give the same password, and its all fine for that session. Then i close it, and its back to square 1.
Help please.

I had exactly the same problem!
After re-installing WP7 & doing the activation steps by the book, it seams ok now.

no no nooo. dont want to go through that process again why cant life be simple

Are you saying installing/unlocking WP7 is not simple??
If yes then you should just stop right now, flog your phone and get a nokia 3310!

its simple allright. but i already installed tons of apps and synced contacts ( which is a badass pain in WM7). But is there any other fix to this ?

My WP7 did the same & re-installing with the same memory card fixed it.
Installing WP7 is a lot easier than Android, unless your apps are on ext4.
Have you been running PC installed xaps? Cus if I install from PC they all get revoked after a short while
m$ are messing me around reg getting a key

[RESOLVED] SMS Problem?

Well I'm quite enjoying WP7...but I have a bad problem.
If I send an SMS, it does not actually send until I reboot my phone. I've done a reflash twice but it still happens. I cannot figure it out.
Anyone else had this issue?
I'm going to try one more hard reset, and test it again before doing any customising or installing of apps, see if that works. If not, will have to go back to Android....
EDIT: The problem is with Connection setup. You need to finish all your tweaks with the xboxmod xap file, and then delete custclear.provxml from /Windows if one is still there. THEN run ConnectionSetup again and it should be back to normal

Wierd Issue
No problems here.
Do you have HTC Connection Setup installed?
How did the Hard Reset Go?
Android is not the Solution.

hah, i noticed it about three hours ago too, I just posted the following elsewhere
Going back to android as of twenty minutes ago after two hours testing when it turns out that the connectionsetup process of changing the phones identity to HD7 breaks my txt messaging - welcome back the dreaded 'messages stuck in outbox untill soft reset' problem.
Lost a days work today because i assumed the client hadn't replied, he (and about a dozen other people) all got txts off me at 10.15 this evening after i soft reset.
Ive checked, double checked and tripple checked, sent and recieved about three dozen txts, changed radio, hard reset, and every time, sms works fine, instant send/recieve, but starts getting stuck after the LEO70 to HD7 registry tweak.
Shame cos i was really starting to like it.
(EDIT - downloading and running the market HTCconnection setup doesnt fix it)
As an aside, the connection setup in most androids fails with mine too, though with a different problem, so i suspect the problem may actually be with the htcsetup app, which is the base of the registry tweaking hack. But at least with android i can manually make it work.

Bugger!
I just did a hard reset, and without doing anything else, SMS works fine.
But as you said, this reg tweak is breaking SMS...but why isn't the problem happening with everyone?
Grrrrrrrr
Will investigate more tonight after work...

i just had a thought, but ive removed wp7 now (need it working for teh morning) but heres what ill try next (if i can find teh time to try again from scratch)
flash it, unlock it, then delete the CustClear.provxml file we moved to windows and run the real connection setup from teh market again. it didnt help for me, but i hadn't removed the CustClear.provxml file, so it would have been installed again (perhaps? dunno, but worth thalf an hour to check out, ,, if only i didnt have a real life, , , , hehe)
good luck.

SMS Issues
This is what seems to work for me, after countless days and minutes contemplating throwing my phone because of windows 7, I love it, very simple and straight to the point.
1) go to settings and put in your carriers apn - or connect through wi-fi
2) Log in with your live id from MS.
3) because of the restrictions we can't download from marketplace I could be wrong so use Tom XAP to install apps.
***what i've notice is when i deploy "XBMODDeployer.xap" and "Connection Setup.xap" that is when i started having mms issues where I would have to reset to get text messages that i send out to send. I can still receive texts but it won't send till i reset my phone.***
So my suggestion is to to all the settings to get it working except don't deploy those to XAP mentioned above.
I hope this helps anyone.

We've already found the solution. I'll update my first post.
All you need to do is run connection setup again, after deleting the custclear.provxml from /Windows

Good to know it was that simple. I'll have another play next day off.

[Q] I can't unlock my phone anymore

Today I was going to install an XAP. I went to go install in and it said my phone was locked. So I figured Id just have to run ChevronWP7 and unlock it. But it wont unlock? Idk why it wouldnt cause I never had a problem with it before. I did some research and im super confused.
I read this, is it because i changed my phone identity that i cant unlock my phone anymore?
The majority of the failures to unlock your phone again is because you used a registry script that changed the HD2 to identify it as an HD7 and may have included registry entries that set PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to 127.0.0.1 or a Null value and somehow your phone became relocked. Once it's set this way, no matter what you do to unlock the phone it won't work because the proper server to query is "developerservices.windowsphone.com" is not defined on the phone. ChevronWP7 works by hijacking and spoofing the address of developerservices.windowsphone.com to be your local computer and then responds appropriately over port HTTPS (443) to the phone.

I never thought it would be a problem, Ive used ChevronWP7 before to unlock my phone, Ive got WP7 all set up and working, along with Xbox Live and the Marketplace. But now im stumped. How do I get my phone to unlock.
I read this thread and i tried to do the methods but i cant because my phone wont unlock! Someone please help. I am so confused.

It wont unlock without editing the reg.....but,
I was having the same trouble yesterday, installed a new SD card and then tried to unlock for hours but wouldn't work,...
So I flashed the XBoxMod ROM, V1.03. The unlock is already done as well as the regedits to keep it unlocked when you sync with Zune. The ID is already changed, so you just flash, activate and fill your accounts out again. Easiest way.

I have 1.03 flashed and the lock has suddenly this morning stopped working, have installed the chevron again, just wont unlock again...
without WP7 being unlocked its a pile of crap, why does it suddenly stop being unlocked, if I have to reflash everything, the rubbish thing about WP7 there is now way to back anything up.
Will someone come out with a better unlock than this unstable chevron

what is so good about side loading apps unless you are stealing them? There are not enough things out there to make it worth the effort.

errr HELLO....camera application that actually allows you to focus, ability to install a navigation package with voice feedback, ability to tweak to suit your needs via reg editor, side load homebrew applications that are not allowed on the strict Microsoft zune, change the search to something useful instead of the pathetic bing....etc...etc...
If you want to shout out and accuse me of steeling that's one thing, but make sure you get your facts correct before, just because your on a forum you think you can slag people of and slant them, an apology would be nice, calling me a pirate PAH! I work with application developers and know exactly the damage pirating can cause...

Hey there,
Did you manage to unlock your device? Good to see the guide is stil getting use
Method 2 will keep you unlocked, but to get it unlocked you have to kinda do something in between the two methods, if that makes any sense?
Ill explain. Turn on airplane mode on your device and connect it, making sure Zune is running on ur pc.
Goto your hosts file and edit it like it says in the guide, but just delete the entry. Save the host file.
Now in theroy, you should be able to run chevron to unlock your HD2, although it cant hurt to reinstall the chevron.cert to your device (i keep it in an attachment on my email just in case )
Let me know if you need anything more
And as for the last two posters, quite it please guys, no one is accusing anyone of anything, be happy

What entry am I deleting?

I cant even get ChevronWP7.exe to start now. It instantly says "Uh oh. Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone." when I try to run it. My phone is plugged in, zune is open, idk what the problem is. At least yesterday the program would open, then say Uh oh. when i tried to unlock it. What should I do?

Bump. I never got this problem solved.

run as admin and alternate between the normal version and the no limit sideloading version.
obviously make sure your device is on, and unlocked at the main tile screen and that zune is running, keep repeating my first point until it works
Dont know if it wil work for you guys but it works for me, alternating between the two versions and admin always being on usually does the trick, sometimes i have to restart my PC and phone, but usually persistance will get it unlocked again.

Re-installing Windows Phone 7

Hello
I have just installed HSPL 2.08 and MAGLDR 1.13 with wp7.
I installed everything correctly, but i tried to install updates using zune, and now WP7 crashes randomly and sometimes has a hard time starting up.
I would like to re-fllash wp7, but i cant get into the MAGLDR menu to select the USB FLASH MODE option (or something along those lines) In order to flash the WP7 rom, like i did to begin with.
Any help? Going into rgb mode (HSDPL) works, but i cant flash it using this method.

Sounds like you need to start fresh. If so, and I'm understanding your situation, put your HD2 into bootloader mode (power off > hold volume-down button and tap power button wait for red, green whitescreen) and do Task 29. Then reflash magldr in the same bootloader screen after your HD2 reboots. Make sure to follow the same steps for getting into the BL screen. Then you should be able to reflash WP7 with magldr.
I'm not sure, but I don't believe WP7 can be updated in Zune. I believe the only current way of getting an updated WP7 ROM is to start fresh like described above.

you can't update wp7 on the hd2! didn't you see the error msg that no updates were performed? the hd2 roms are not official wp7 roms.

Thanks! I have re-flashed it now, i think the issue was the SD card being incompatible, not the updating of wp7 using zune.
While i am here, does anyone know how i can fix the following issues?
1. I cannot log into or connnect to any services which include facebook and outlook. Well, actually i know it can connect to outlook since the status in the top left said something allong the lines of 'weve found them' but then a message appear saying ' Ooops, We're having a problem connecting you, and all i can do is cancel'
Same goes with facebook. Currently, since my MicroSD card isnt compatible, i have no means of storage, so i cant store any contacts etc, maybe this is the issue? Im sure it wasnt working even with the card in however.
2. The camera seems very bad and doesnt fit the screen. Ive seen that this is an issue, but havent been able to find any threads resolviing the issue. If anyones found one, please could you post a link?
3. The market place, ive found a thread that claims to fix the issue, however i was a bit skeptical since theres been so many people saying you cant
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10566003
Has it really been finally hacked! It would seem so!
Come to think of it, that seems like all! The major issue at the moment is the inability to store anything which i will be sorting out soon.
I have purchased of amazon a 16GB Sandisk sd card, which claims to be class 2.
Please tell me its the right one!!
But so far, comparing WP7 to Energy, its not stacking up! Obviously the energy rom has had alot more development, but i like the way in which you can always know the weather, talk on facebook easily, install loads of apps on omarket.
I think WP7 has the possibility to be great when i have sorted all the issues out, visually, i dont think its as stunning in terms of graphics, but it is alot more simplistic and easy to use, definatley the keyboard is easier!
Anyone happy with this as their primary OS?
Cheers

Also, is there any way of booting into MAGLDR without it automatically starting WP7? Would just making it easier in terms of updating WP7 when i need too.
I currently have the latest version of mango..... i think that seems to be the most developed and worked on.

In the magldr menu. Power on your HD2 from a power off state and hold the red button till the magldr options screen appears. Then at close to the bottom is the "services" option.
Make sure to hold the red button while powering up your HD2.

That's how I feel about this elfinlazz ROM. Though it has a few bugs, they don't effect its speed or stability. And the bugs are not serious nor effect the overall usability.
I plan on keeping this one until a ripe Mango is released with marketplace and Live already configured.

Well after being on the phone for 20 minuites, phone running out of battery then being on the phone for another 20 miniutes ive finally got my phonee activated with windows live services!!!
The funny this is, the man at the main switchboard who put me through the second time, said that they've had 'a high call volume regarding this issue'!!!! Just made me chuckle because its obviously everyone hacking it for their htc hd2's ! You dont need to phone up for activation if you own a genuine product!
By the way, they take your name, tel number and email and thats it, then thhey read out the code to you and send it to your email!

The first time I tried for a code...I did it through chat...they asked me what brand and model phone I had. I didn't lie and told them an HD2. After a minute or two they came back and said they can't give me a code for the HD2 because it isn't an official WP7 phone....or something along those lines. I said okay, thank you and closed the chat. I was going to let it go. Then after about a day I decided to call again and see what would happen; if I would get a different person. I did get a different person, and they only asked me for my name and phone number...don't recall if they asked for an email. Once I gave them my name and number, they welcomed me back...LOL. I was about to hang up but nothing came of it and after a few minutes, they came back with a code.
And from what I understand, the code is permanent for that phone. I suppose that means it will work on any WP7 ROM on that specific phone, which is good because I plan to upgrade to a ripe Mango when available.

Yea its pretty stupid how they will just hand out the codes, whats the point in even having activation AT ALL??
Im guessing the code will be locked into your windows live ID, so you can only sign in with that acccount. Would make sence, because then you can only use it on one person.

Not really. I tried to use my Live ID I have with my Samsung Focus and it worked okay and all, but I couldn't install any apps because it saw them already installed on another device. I then made a new Live ID and reset my HD2 and and signed in with that new Live ID. It went well and I could install apps from then on. But it means that the apps I've bought with my original Live ID will have to be bought again.
Maybe there is a bug in Live, I don't know, because Zune says you can have up to 5 devices on one account. But when I bought my HD7, I replaced it 3 times till I got one not faulty. When I tried to install an app on my HD2 with the original Live ID, it popped up a message saying I already have 5 devices activated and I need to delete them before I can use another. I then tried to delete the false ones but it will only allow you to delete one phone a month. I could only delete one, but it still wouldn't let me install apps.
See...the thing I think is the issue is that Windows Live doesn't communicate very well with other services or features. Example: In Gmail, if I make a change to a contact, immediately that change shows up on the Android phone. In Live, if I make a change to a contact, that change rarely ever appears on the phone. I think this is what the issue is between Live and Zune. They just aren't communicating well.
