Unable to copy files via ActiveSync

Hi Guys
I can connect my Leo via active sync and sync it with outlook, or add files to sync via the same method. But when I want to explore my device via my computer I can only view files. That goes to Leo itself and SD card. When I connect Leo as Diskdrive I can edit files on SD card.

Sorry, under Windows 7 Sync Centre I can create folders and copy files under Computer/"mydevice" on both the device itself and the memory card when connected using the phone's ActiveSync connection. I'm guessing you're using Vista or XP? Some helpful person here may ask you to confirm.

I use 7 as well.
However I had no problems with XDA Orbit/Orbit2, HTC Touch Diamond 2 under XP/Vista and 7. It is only HD2 that has a problem there.
Seems like drivers to me.

What exactly do you want to do but cannot? I am using HD2 with W7 without any issue.

Well I want to re-arrange my start menu using my laptop. I active sync it and navigate to my device\windows\start menu\programs. In there if I try to move/copy/delete/create new files/folders/shortcuts I get access denied. I want to copy more wallpapers to my documents\wallpapers and get the same error.
I want to copy files to my SD card and get access denied. I can open the files, like music or pictures, to view but that is it.
I also can not copy any files out of the device to desktop.

Getting "access denied" seems to indicate you do not have the proper authority to access the files. This is just a wild guess, but you may try it anyway. Right click on the Windows Mobile Device program, and check properties. There is an option to run the program as administrator under the Compatibility tab. Maybe this will give you the authority you need to access these files. For me, no problems, running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.

I am really curious about the logical steps you used to reach the conclusion that his laptop is infected, and why you suggest the only solution is to reinstall Windows. Even if his computer were infected, is not reinstalling Windows a rather extreme solution? Surely a good antivirus program or running HouseCall is a much more reasonable solution.

So basically you can browse the folders of the SD and the storage, but you cannot process any files.
Other than the protected shortcuts (most of the supplied shortcuts are system and readonly) I do not have any access problems via activesync.
Is your USBtoPC set to ActiveSync?

[Q] HTC Sync issues with Froyo builds, any solution???

I have the latest froyostone V1 from Energy released August 8 and I believe lot many like me have issues connecting with PCs. I had installed HTC Sync software from HTC Website, but the PC does not recognize and the phone does not give me option for connection type.
I posted this issue in the specific threads as well but no response and hence I am opening this issue so that experts outside the specific thread can guide us how to connect to PC. OR any other build that works perfectly. All my contacts are in Outlook and I want to sync them.
Any help or guidance much appreciated !!!

i made a thread already for connecting with drivers and all search is your friend

Download Automount from the market, install it and connect to your PC via USB
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ADB and Automount does not support synchronizing the outlook contacts or emails, that HTC Sync can do..
Have installed SDK and most of it's component including USB Drivers for XP r3, but all in vain, HTC Sync does not detect it.
Automount, I can detect my storage card but that is not what i am looking here. Any help on sync of the outlook contacts will be great help. Also offline sync of emails from my outlook as we do for winmo..

This was explained already in darkstone's thread. He took out most usb functionality because files were being corrupted when transfered from pc due to the fact that the operating system is running off of the SD card.
Use a different build, or better yet, transfer your files to a folder from winmo and then boot to android and voila! your files will be there. Search is your BEST friend.

To transfer the files, "Auto Mount your SD Card" is better solution from copy to WinMO and then find it in Android using the explorer. But I was trying to sync my offline mails and outlook contacts as we do in winmo. Do you mean that if we sync in winmo, i could see my contacts in Android, I don't think so it is possible.

Exact ! i Hope it is just a bug ..
what does it mean " debugging mode " in USB ?

if you just want to load, delete apps to the phone, DroidExplorer will do the job.
hxxp://de.codeplex.com/
it use, similliar to the post from aaznak, the adb to connect to the phone, but with an nice gui (easy to use)

Try this:
Check if you have AutoMount in your app drawer (if you have a Mattc build then you should). If you don't, then download it, it's called- Auto Mount Your SD Card made by JR Studio.
Unplug your phone
Open the Auto Mount App
Check Enable SD Card Auto-Mounting and exit the app
Plug the phone in
You should now see it in my computer or finder (mac) as a removable drive.
Works for me, hope it works for you.

Hi, I would like to ask after using the android how do i connect to the computer and copy some files? because i would like to copy the drag racing data but everytime i connect my htc hd mini which is using android to the pc nothing happen?

you can put your sd card into your pc carddrive

Or use ADB. Have a look here.
I also posted about a FileManager based on ADB that works quite nice.
Its called QtADB. Google for it.

You can use Myphoneexplorer, with this you can conect via wifi and then you can copy files, sync with outlook and more. Work perfect in the mini with Android 2.2.
Here the link. Good Luck

[Q] How do you transfer files from PC in r169?

I new about DroidExplorer, but it`s not a solution for me. First of all it don`t works on my Win7. And the main thing, is that i use my phone as storage, to transfer files between different computers. It`s not usefull, I can`t install DroidExplorer on all of them...
So, folks, tell me pleace, how do you solve this problem (maybe some mount widget or some other trick)?
Thanks!!!

Find HTC Sync from the official HTC Site (just google it).
It worked for me!
EDIT: Also i heard about "MyPhoneExplorer" but I did not try it yet.

HTC Sync, MyPhoneExplorer - it`s the same story, as with DroidExplorer. Is there some solution without installing any soft on PC? As it works in WinMo.

Before I installed HTC Sync, i think that - When i connected my phone to PC, i found somewhere the option to show as a Hard Disk (or removable disk w/e)
I selected that and worked fine! (i did not transered anything but i am 100% that happened)

DroidExplorer, MyPhoneExplorer and QtADB runs fine on Win7.
I also use Wifi to transfer files.

Does anybody tried "Multi Mount SD-Card" or "Dual Mount SD"? I found some advices about this apps on HD2 Android forum... Maybe it will work for us?

How do I use the Phone's Storage Card as a Disk Drive?
Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable. Open the Notifications panel. In the Notifications panel, touch “Select to change USB Connection Type” and change it to Disk Drive.

Oh great, so simple!!! Dude, i made it! For several times, with every releace, and it don`t works! And it seems, I am not the one...

Be careful, this way works sometimes but usually the files you have copied to SD won't show in Android when you mount back your card, and will be converted to temporary LOST.DIR files. So the best way to copy files is from WM or transfer them with Wifi

LOL, mine is working correctly also DroidExplorer and MyPhoneExplorer, I think the problem can be with OS and Phone drivers Compatibility on your komputer ?
EDIT:
DroidExplorer is sometimes unstable!
MyPhoneExplorer - always worked well

I don`t think that the only problem is in my PC, because the issue still present. I`ve read several threads about Android on HD2. And many people says that data transfer don`t works on SD-card port, because android runs from SD. And in NAND version everything is ok...

with Usb disk mode
yes! it work! only astro can not show it until you reboot. Unmount SD card does not help. I copied NOW picture 3.5 MB and reboot and I see with astro the picture is here !

LOL!!! So we need to reboot everytime? Don`t you think it takes a lot of time? Thanks for your posts, but it`s not a solution. I`m Waiting for fix from devs.
P.S. Anybody try widgets, about I wrote before? (I have no oportunity to run android now, so I am asking you, guys, to try)

Multi mount SD works 100% OK.

i use virtual data cable it works great!!!

Multi mount SD working perfect so far
Thanks cbolumar!!

YES! Multi Mount SD-Card is working! I think this info must be in FAQ!
P.S. Some devs of HD2 port, include this programm inside of their releace, i think its usefull.

I am glad that you can finally copy files on your phone
