I have gotten the Tmobile Wing recently (herald) and I like the phone but I have 2 questions.
1) I tried to plug the phone into my laptop and it does not show the removable drive or cellphone on my the my computer screen. I plug it in the usb I have my memory card in and installed windows mobile center 6 but it's not recognizing it. I wanted to add music to the phone please help.
2) I was wondering how to change the appearance of the operating system, view youtube videos and how to find games and all the cool stuff?

you can't use activesync for vista they say
The windows mobile device center works well with Vista, you can transfer music much faster with the memory card reader.
yeah but on my screen it's showing the windows mobile device center and it just says not connected meanwhile on my phone it says usb connected so I cannot get anywhere.
never connects and sometimes it says error on the windows mobile device center
reinstall mobile device center.
also, take a look at some of the VISTA errors out thre

this is my problem,
when i connect my hd2 it charges but the computer doesn't recognize it. on the phone settings it is set to active sync. i also have 2 computers; xp and vista, both do the same thing.
i could careless about active sync, i just want to plug my phone into my pc and transfer files in and out. ive also tried the disk drive option but still no go?
if i enter bootloader and plug it in it recognizes the usb setting but when the phone is normal, it doesn't??
it did this with the stock rom and its also doing this with nrg titanium rom.
any help would be appreciated
Same thing here.
It charges through USB but it doesnt connect.
If i choose the storage option it works fine.
I want to sync my outlook and i cant...
What the heck...?
i know this may seem a bit "it helpdesk-ish" but try re-booting your PC
Come on... give something drastic!
Already done that, rebooted the pc and the hd2...
still nothing

believe it or not i have done that mannyy times and did alot of device manager things to try and let both computers recognize the hd2 but still nothing haha..
ive had previous hd2's and they've all connected fine untill this one, maybe its this specific one thats giving me trouble. but regardless, it charges via usb then it should be able to recognize it
Check the active sync settings to ensure that usb connections are enabled. You can tell be looking at the system tray icon - there's a read circle with a white X in it if USB is disabled.
Saying that though, if it doesn't even recognise it when the device is in USB mode, I'd try a different cable. It's perfectly reasonable that the cable could power the device but not fully facilitate a USB connection.

That is very weird. Sorry mate - never heard of it doing that for anyone before.
Make sure you have the mobility center/active sync program installed on your computer. Without it it won't work.
On Vista or Seven, with the HD2 plugged in, you can find the program/drivers by launching and refreshing manually Windows Update. On XP you have to do that manually.
Good luck.
This happens to me often. In my case I have found it to be a weird driver issue. Go to device manager and look for the yellow triangle. Right click and update driver software. This worked for me I hope it helps.
bit late but just flashed maxsence and i love the look, but have allready had to restart by phone 10 times in 10 minutes. I'll wait for the next release. back to GTX for now.
Good work NRG. keep it up.
this is one of the many WM6.5 errors!
need Android soon!
Ok here we go.
The phone did not connect through activesync to my pc. When i selected to connect as mass storage it connected.
I checked for driver issues in device manager but nothing came up.
I checked the hd2's activesync. Bingo! the activesync was crashing when i was running it. I had to hard reset the phone.
Now it works fine.
My guess is that maybe a program that i installed recently was buggy and created this particular problem. Unfortunately i have about 50+ programs installed (including themes etc) and i m not sure which one it was.
I was installing all the programs again today one by one and after the install process was completed i connected the hd2 to usb to find which app was the problematic one.
After installing almost(some were found useless) all of the apps (here is the crazy part) the hd2 still was connecting through activesync....
HTC will drive me nuts...
Anyway the phone now connects correctly.
I cant understand which was the problem....
as odd as it may sound i think i figured it out.
i think its the usb cable that im using, i have to wiggle it around for it to connect to active sync but once it connects its not a stable connection as it cuts in and out.
but charging capabilities work though!
pos wire, i ordered a new wire and if that one fails also, i will have to get my hd2 replaced for faulty usb port
thanks for all the replies much appreciated
@k20a1
Try to hard reset the phone.
It worked for me.
If not again, then use your warranty!

i did whenever i custom rom'd it, it still does the same thing. yes it will connect via usb while in bootloader but will not during regular phone operations lol
"Disk drive" mode not working with XP laptop
HD2 is working fine with my desktop, but wit laptop I can only use ActiveSync to browse files.
When I connect the USB cable I get:
"Found new hardware wizard"
but it tells me that it Cannot Install This Harware - Disk Drive
"An error occurred during the installation of the devie The system cannot find the file specified"
And I only have "Finish" to click - if I click it the wizard lunces again immediately and goes on and on with no end.
HD"/Leo does not appare in Disk Manager (I know ablut the drive lettering issue)
I'm sure its my XP issue, but I havent found drivers to fix that, and I'm not about to reinstall XP on my lappy in near future.

I share the same here and I was despaired of trying to solve it with any logical, as well with illogical, measures. Such as: rebooting, changing usb cables, reinstalling activesync 4.5, etc.....etc...blla..blla...blla...
However, I solved the "Transfer files issue" by taking out the sd card from the HD2 and connect it with an external cards reader to my pc.
The card reader connected and works with the same usb cable that does not work with the HD2.
That way I load it with all files and in the same occasion I reload into my computer the daily spb backup files.
However, I have the feeling that the reason for that problem is a missing file/driver named: "Setup1.SPL" in the pc windows operating system.
In order to solve that it seems that only reinstalling windows on my pc will be the solution which defiantly do not like.
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum and also to Android.. I just purchased HTC Aria yesterday and I tried to sync it to my pc but when I plugged the usb cable into the pc, my phone is not detected at all. I installed HTC Sync on my computer but it doesn't show up still.. Any suggestions?

Hey bud, number one - what operating system are you on? Number two - even though it doesn't show up, when you plug it in do you hear the USB notification sound from the computer? Number three - if you DO hear the notification sound, can you see anything related to your phone in the device manager (right click My Computer, go to manage, on left go to device manager). Number four - does your phone realize its been plugged into the computer? I'm pretty sure for HTC Sync to pick the phone up you need to choose HTC Sync as the connection mode on the phone...

Hi together,
I am doing my first steps wit Copes GB232/CM7. It works perfect. But still one problem exists. I can't sync my HTC HD2 with my Windows XP SP3 PC.
The PC recognizes the phone with the known USB Windows sound and the phone also recognizes the PC. But there is only an option to activate the phone as an removable storage. I think there should be an option for HTC Sync on the phone.
Any ideas?
with regards,
Fabian
Sync only works with Sense based roms, so you're either gonna have to give up Gingerbread or Sense. I'm not much of a Sense fan, so I say keep GB and look into syncing your everything with Google. I've never used HTC Sync and I don't know its functionality, but I'm sure Google can do whatever it is you want, they've got some seriously powerful tools.
I've searched, debugged, tried this that and just about everything (I think)
At this point I can't flash any new ROMS to my phone(s), simliar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794879
Phone info:
- Currently using the latest (which is a little dated) MDJ Gingerbread NAND ROM
- Windows does detect the phone, in the bootloader I can get 'USB' to appear
- I can load files in windows by mounting the SD card, it will charge via USB
- I just can't get WDMC/Activsync to detect the phones, at one point it worked fine, but I used the MDJ ROM for so long and now that I am finally trying to flash something else I'm stuck
I've tried:
-Different USB cables
-Different USB ports
-Different computers
-Different phones! (I have 2 HD2's)
-Different OS's (Win 7 x64 & Win XP x64)
-Unstalling/Re-installing WDMC/Activesync
-Uninstalling USB drivers, letting OS load them again
At this point I'm ready to throw in the towel, some other threads have mentioned a 'damaged usb controller' in the phone. I've used a iGo car charger on both of these phones and hate to think they are actually damaged.
Wanted to throw this out there before I start figuring out what my next phone is going to be - hate to ditch my HD2, but I am dying to get an updated ROM loaded
Any ideas??
if you are using android have you tried htc sync for android rather than windows?
I had HTC Sync installed at one point, but honestly didn't really troubleshoot much w/ it.
Hoping this is what I need - thanks
I have exactly the same problem. please let me know if and how you resolved it...
HTC Sync will corrupt Outlook's Contacts - at least it did a couple months ago (can't say if it's been fixed or not), confirmed by HTC, but they accept no liability for any of it.
Try MyPhoneExplorer - it does more than I need, but it syncs:

Hi, myphoneexplorer works perfect. Do you have an exchange account via owa? Than just sync via internet.
