I have a MDA Compact (magician) (ignore the signature at the bottom of the page.. this is my spare phone) and for some reason I cannot get active sync on it working..
I plug in the USB cable and the phone will charge.. but thats it. wont connect... i thought that perhaps there was something wrong with the cable, so i connected the phone via bluetooth to the laptop and still activesync wont connect..
The phone is runing windows mobile 2003 second edition Version 4.21.1088 (build 15159.2.6.4)
I've cold booted the phone so its clean.. and still nothing. I thought i might have needed to upgrade something on there.. but i havent been able to find anything and also the phone cant connect to activesync to install anything..
Does anyone have any suggestions that might help..
thanks
If you're using ver 4.5 of activesync, drop it and use 4.2 instead, 4.5 has issues with non-WM5 PPCs.
no joy

This maybe a long shot but im suspecting that you may have accidentally deleted repllog.exe, are you using cleaning softwares? anyway try to use SKTools "recreate activesync" function under notifications Queue menu. If all still fails, a hard reset may have to be resorted to.

well i am pretty sure i have not deleted anything.. and i evern did a hard reset and tried syncing.. still no joy.. its like theres a conspiracy against me and that blasted phone..
any other suggestions??? i turned the phone into bootloader mode.. and plugged it into the laptop and the display changed to USB V1.0.. so it definately recognises the usb.. maybe theres something with the old version of activesync on that phone.
Question
Are you using sync by GPRS to Exchange? I'm using it and I can't sync by USB, however other PDA in my office which was not updated its ROM, works fine.

no.. i havent been trying to sync via gprs.. i have just been trying to connect via active sync to windows xp.. and its the original rom that came with the mda when it was bought.. its never been updated. thats what i wanted to do...
i even was going to try updating the rom from an SD card but couldnt find a big storage rom..
I am so new to this and already I have spent all day trying to activesync my phone to my PC. I constantly get the cant detect device or usb device not recognized it has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. Am I missing something like a software disk. I must have tried everything they ask me to do 10 times and I still get the message. I actually jut uninstalled the 4.5 activesync software that I had downloaded. My question is there some software that I am supposed to install on my computer like the cd software you see that comes with the phone new. I bought this off ebay and so far it is working fine but I did not get a cd with it like I see other people get. Im wondering if this is the case. As mentioned I really dont know anything at all about this stuff and I am trying to learn so any help will be greatly appreciated
Sincerely

Theres a setting in the phone that needs to be changed. Click start/ settings/ connections/ USB to PC/ uncheck the Enable advanced network function. Reinstall Activesync and should work after that. At least that what I have to do with my 8525.
Just read this in the manual .....
"When your MDA Compact IV is connected via ActiveSync and your PC is connected tothe Internet, you can browse the Internet, retrieve Outlook emails and also use or update some of the applications that require an Internet connection - and all of it straight from your phone (e.g. you can update Weather or QuickGPS, or use Google Maps)"
Anyone know how I do this - have been trying to figure it out ... but in vain
Just worked it out ....
so... ??
I mean, this is a forum.
I'm sure, there are hundreds of geeks out there, who havn't figured out.
SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE !!
Explain, what you did, what happened, how you solved..
cheers

Hi guys,
first off - sorry I didn't post my solution earlier - and thanks to jackwidu for pointing out the error of my ways
I connect to my pc using Activesync Version 4.5.0. When connected through activesync, I was unable to (and also unaware that I could) connect my diamond to the pc's internet connection. I recent read that this was possible in the user manual and at first despite trying all different settings, still failed to do so.
Eventually, as in many microsoft cases, I uninstalled activesync and reinstalled and hey presto, was able to access the internet through my pc
Not sure if this will work for everyone but interested to find out if it does ....
good luck guys
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.
hi all

I ve already checked my date and location settings, as i have read that it might be that, but still no luck.

You are not the only one having trouble, Microsoft's Marketplace has been having some issues lately and supposedly fixes are on their way.
