Something very strange...
I just bought a T-Mobile HD2, and I just plugged it in to my desktop to begin modding... Strange thing is, my desktop is having a hell of a time keeping up with the phone. I can never get a USB connection on it. I ended up having to do all the hacking on my Macbook Pro running Windows 7 in Bootcamp. So the issue is that when I connect it to my desktop which natively runs Windows 7, the phone charges, but Zune and the Mobile Device Center both report that the phone is not connected. And to make things even more aggravating, every time I connect the phone, my wifi connection on the desktop drops off. As soon as I disconnect the phone, wifi eventually comes back with some prompting. What am I doing wrong??
sounds like as screwed up machine to be honest
could be, but I've seen others with this same problem as well. If it is my machine, maybe someone knows what I can do to fix it?

Hey, I have a Mogul through sprint and actually pay the $40 a month for the PAM feature. It works great most of the time by USB tether, which I prefer because it keeps the phone charged. My problem is that after a random amount of time, sometimes a few minutes, sometimes an hour or so, the connection no longer sends or receives packets. the phone still reads connected, but the vista network connection status screen says (not responding) in the title bar. I've made sure my NDIS driver is up to date, and I've searched for other people who might have had the same problem, but all I can find are people troubleshooting methods to avoid paying for PAM. WMWifi and pdanet and stuff are great, but i need a hand with the legit PAM if anyone has any experience with it. (Oh, and my phone is running 2.17 rom and 1.47 radio that came on it)
Ok, so it seems to be that when I plug in the usb cable, even if I've already started the phone as modem connection, ActiveSync still starts, and vista doesn't always seem to give the pam connection priority. Is there any way to disable auto-start of activesync on the device? there is no activesync on vista, its their windows mobile device center junk and it has no options or preferences at all.

I think there's an option where you can disallow USB connections. I'd try that. I've been using PAM on vista since we figured out how to beat the tethering charges using the reg hack with no problems. I have noticed that activesync tries to connect to it though, and usually what I do is have an active connection first, plug it in while I'm hitting connect and it usually works fine. You might try that too.
Good luck!
BTW, you might try updating your ROM to one of DCD's releases...they work much better than the stock rom IMO.
Ok, so I've had issues with vista and pam before, but I have a new one, that I can't find anything about on google, on here, or anywhere else so far. I have a laptop with vista 64 home premium that I can PAM with mogul's ICS using my phone or my wife's (both are on the unlimited PAM plan.) My wife's laptop runs vista 32 home premium, and both of our phones have an identical issue when trying to tether with it, meaning its not an issue with the phones. When connecting to PAM on her laptop, 7/10 time, it will go through the steps, and when the vista networking gets done with identifying, pulling an IP from the phone ICS, and checking for connectivity (which vista does by pinging a server by domain name to determine that the DNS is working in addition to the network being open) it will be up for a split second, then disconnect. Sometimes it will disconnect after Identifying, but before making the connectivity check. The rest of the time, it connects and works fine. We have tested other cables, and recently I tested it under safe mode with networking, and made my first progress.
Under Safe mode with networking, it will connect perfectly every time. The hard part now, is I do not know what program or device conflict could be causing it to disconnect immediately after completing connection. Has anyone had this issue and found any other programs or hardware to interfere?
I haven't had this proble in specific but I did have a problem with using ICS in vista to let my PS3 go online via my laptop using the mogule as my internet connection, in one instant it actually gave me the blue screen of death. I have to say that with Ubuntu and Vista the best way to use the phone as modem is to run ICS (on the phone) and hit connect (I'm speaking about the usb method) the phone will say check cable or something and then hook the cable up. This way has eliminated the quick disconnect witch i experience in Ubuntu a few times.
Hope this help
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.
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.
Hey
I've noticed a few people with this issue however they have been using different devices/computer setups therefore I wanted to see if anyone knew how to solve my issue.
I recently got a HTC 7 Trophy and love it, however I am dying to try out this wireless sync feature but it never seems to trigger and show up in zune as connected.
My Setup:
HTC 7 Trophy sitting on charge on one side of my room, connected to my wireless
Lenovo S10e Netbook running Windows 7 Ultimate with Microsoft Security Essentials AntiVirus
Netgear DGN2000 with WPA2-PSK encryption
when i wake my phone from sleep, the wireless is still connected but it has never shown up in zune. (yes I have setup wireless sync in zune and it successfully completed without errors)
what happened for me...
it specifies when setting up wireless sync that you need to have your phone connected to charger (not usb power from computer)for 10 minutes then wireless sync will start.
it took a good 25 minutes for me and then i noticed a driver being installed into windows 7. Zune then proceeded to being wirelessly syncing..
under device manager i've found
Portable Devices / LEO70 (its my hd2 running wp7)
under properties- device description - Value=Zune Wireless
hope this enlightens something
thanks! I'll leave my phone on charge for the whole day and check device manager every 30 minutes or so, now I just have to figure out why my phone isn't connecting to my home WiFi anymore
UPDATE: Still nothing, the phone has been on the network and charging all day without any drop outs and still not showing in zune, I have restarted my laptop once during the day because of windows updates but still nothing. I will try turning off windows firewall next to see if that is the problem.
UPDATE 2: It installed the driver, once, when I awoke the laptop from sleep with zune already running. I found another 'solution' that involves enabling some services from services.msc and turning off windows firewall with no success. really wish someone had the same problem as me :/

to be honest, i dont see the point... during wireless sync, it has to be powered via AC adapter - disconnect power, and wireless sync stops...(now what sort of 'wireless' is that)
I know some users have docking stations but still it comes down to ...
*sync via USB - fast sync slow charge.
*sync wireless - slow sync fast charge.
You cant roam in your wireless environment and sync...
