Hi, I had no problem at first with my own O2 mini s, but was unable to conect my wifes to the laptop (Dell inspiron 6000) so we were about to take it back as it would NOT connect at all (just the normal connect bleep then nothing). Just in case it was a problem with the rom install I rebooted it. Still no connection. Having read about the "basic" option on this board I also rebooted my device. mmmmmmmmmmm...... now that wont connect either!!! I have tried rebooting both devices and used the "personnel" options, still no joy??? If I open active sync on the laptop and try the "connect to device" option, i get a "no device found" message. Windows!............what a pile of crap! Anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions. regards, Pete
just found this!

its an upgarde, problem sorted.
The aboce link fixes the problem with a download of Active sync 4.1
seems there are issues with some firewalls.
Both of our XDA mini s now connect via usb.

Didn't appear to fix mine it just sits there and says retrieving settings endlessly.
My Xda mini S connects to my laptop no probs, but it won't connect to my desktop. I have Sygate PF running and Windows Firewall. Windows firewall looks to have the right settings.
Hmmm.

Hi.
Anyone with same problem. I only have seen it on vista side. Working with 3g conectivity. One minute is connected with tray icon showing globe. Then 30 isnt connected with tray icon showing computers with red cross. Then again connected 3 minutes. It seems a problem between vista side and internet sharing service from snapvue. I ve seen this issue in other spanish shift. Maybe a spanish version problem? any idea?
Thanks
Not much help I know but see my thread titled 'continued vista connection problems'. Have you been using internet sharing to gain access to WM 6.0? i noticed Activesync was always starting on the snapvue side which I think is linked to the constant disconnections.
A full restore from the restore partition solved my problem and I now get a steady 3g connection.
Thanks for your response. Not alone now. Format is a solution but we should know the origin of this problem. Obviosly is related with the way connects to 3g, this is, using Internet Shared connection with snapvue...but...why suddenly activesync (client or server part) tries to connect the other side and breaks the internet shared connection? any idea?Did you install sp1? is your shift language english or other one? ( I am trying to discard sources of the problem).
pd. While I write these lines on winmo side I can listen vista side sounds (connect/disconnect each minute...)
Hi,
I did some changes and It seems (by now) the problem is solved. I ve playing with continous 3g connections. This is what I did (I dont know which one did the trick).
1) Disable activesync usb connections for both sides( I did it for vista side days ago but know I did too in snapvue size.
2) Sevice Sync bluetooth Server stopped and set manually.
3) Reset both sides
Now I ve a stable 3g connection....
Daniel
Glad you got it working. What do you do to disable Activesync on the Snapvue side?
I only noticed this problem after installing SP1 but I was working mostly with WIFI so cannot be sure there is a link.

Hi.
The problem is solved, now for sure. Open Activesync in winmo,then menu/connections and uncheck "use usb ...". I removed too the partership between both sides althought It isnt important, I think...
Thanks Daniel. Good to know incase it happens again.
Today I am having the same issue...mmm, I dont know what else I can do. I will post the events I can see in the event's viewer....

Hi Daniel - are you still having these problmes?
Hi. I didnt have that issue anymore. I removed the partership whith the device on vista side. I remove "Usb connection option" on activesync in both sides. I uninstalled "Remove NDIS Share connection" (Device Manager) on vista side and rebooted. Then on restart vista recognized again the device(Remove NDIS Shared connection) after some minutes(5-10 min) and then all worked correctly. I think the last step did the trick. But I am not free of problems. Like I told before when I resume the device and It was hibernated/suspended for a long time (several hours) the 20% of times It cant connect 3g and even I cant restart vista but keeping pressed the power button. So, by now, If my device is going to stay suspended for a long time (night) then I turn it off......
pd. When I need connect vista and snapvue I turn the phone off. I enable usb connection in both sides and use usbtools. After using the connection I undo these steps and all works correctly by now (last 3 weeks).
Ensure too that Vista hasnt setup a new Windows CE device on Device Manager. To check it open Device Manager, then "See devices by connection" and check each usb connection. If you see any Windows CE device disable it. I think both Remove NDIS Shared connection and a Windows CE Device was fighting for the same usb connection (In my case)

OK, the only bit I hadnt tried was the uninstall of the NDIS in device manager. I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks again for this reply!
Thanks Daniel for your detailed description on this problem, which I also have. Interesting thing is that for me it only occurs when I am on the move with my Shift. No problems when my Shift remains on my desk (like others described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381220&page=2 )
On your described solution: I removed the Vista/Snapvue partnership and the usb connection on both sides. But I am not able to do the next step: "Remove NDIS Share connection" in device manager, because it's not there (see attached screenshot). Does this mean it was never there, so I do not have to uninstall it? Or is there a different way to find it?
Hi.
Reset Vista to ensure It boots correctly. Then wait to be 3g connected. Once you are connected the device "Remote NDIS shared connection" should be there under network cards. Then uninstall it and reset again. Once booted you have to wait several minutes until vista detects it again and installs drivers.....
pd. And try to contact HTC. Maybe (only maybe) if HTC is reported with same problem from many people they releases a fix.....
Hi there,
That did not help at all!
Waste of time.
But thanks for the hint.
What DID help for me was closing WMDC through taskmanager.
When you just exit WMDC, task manager still shows that it is running there in the background and apperantly scanning your ports for mobile devices ore something.
I stopped it from running and have a stable connection now.

Hi
Do you have to do this each time you start vista?

I think you only have to do it after you used WMDC. On my shift it doesnot start at boot (not anymore...) If I want to sync shift or my kaiser, I need to startup WMDC manualy.

My experiences so far.
Is it possible that it is the energy plan that is responsible for the loss of connection. I installed SP1, no problems it seemed. Today I wanted to use the 3G connection with the battery (balanced energy plan). And then it started to disconnect and to connect in small intervals. I did the routine Daniel described: uninstalled NDIS driver. Reinstalled it but connectivity problems remained.
Is it something to do with the battery powered system?
Because, as soon as stop using the battery, plugging in the power adapter again everything seems to be okay. I am not sure about it, but I think, when I use the max power option with the battery the connection stays and fails when I use the balanced energy plan.
So can it be that something in the energy plan is responsible for the loss of the connection?
Experts, does that make any sense?
I will give it some more tries.
S.
I had the High Performance powerplan on all the time......
had it to
Hi
This is a problem when sp1 is installed and you are using 3g in vista being in balanced or power save power plan. it has nothing to do with activesync and usb ports (i have never had a connection)
i called htc yesterday, they clamed they had never heard about it before, so please as many as possible call htc and tell them then maybe just maybe they would release a fix
in rhe meantime i uninstalled sp1 and everything works
In my case the solution is quite clear.
3G works in Balanced mode and in High Performance when power is plugged in. I am not so sure if it works in “Power Save” even when on power.
3G does not work when either on “Balanced” or “Power Save” when using the battery. Battery works in “High Performance” even when all the options are set like they are in “Balanced” mode.
This I found somewhere else in the forum. It is from Daniel and I guess he says the same, more of less.
Well. I ve been doing many tests and changes and I thing the sd, suspend crashes and 3g closed connections are gone.
I use equilibrated energy plan but I hadn’t any issue when ac connected so I ve modified this plan to make equivalent the behavior when not ac connected, but not success. The problems are still there. Its incredible because the configuration for ac connected/disconnected is the same I ve modified all the parameters (usb, expressPCI, , etc)
So I ve set High performance plan and I ve modified it a little bit, only screen brightness when no ac connected and now all works correctly. I start the system (no ac connected). Then I suspend / wake, hibernate/resume the system several times being ac no connected and the problems are gone. 3g connection is very stable. No crashes from standby to hibernate state. No sd missing problem. So by now I will keep in this "High Performance" modified state
pd. So It seems that a plan is compounded by customizable parameters by the user and hidden parameters)
Now, those who have not installed SP1. Is this really no issue for you? Or have you always been on power or always used “High Performance”?
Well, even when I plug in my external battery and the green light indicates that the machine has been plugged to power, even then it only works in “high performance” and not in the two other modes.
Very strange!

I am having a situation that is driving me nuts.
My access to the Internet on Win Mob works great via my SIM Card connection, however on my Vista side the system sees the SIM card and the Operator, but states local only. The vista network pipeline view shows a red X on the internet pipe.
How can I make the Vista side make the SIM connect to the internet??, if a switch to Win Mo its connecting with no problem!.
Just in case the WiFi works with no problems on the Vista side
check
1 - check the IP v4 settings on your adapter in Vista, is it on DHCP ? It must be when you try to connect to the Telco's GPRS network
2 - check to see if NIC/Network adapter is turned on at all.
3 - Check to see if your MODEM is active in Vista, via the top left button on your shift
4 - Did you install any liberation software ? I had to "connect to vista" once, after reinstallation, afterwards, Vista connects automatically to WinMo/SnapVue for internet.
5 - Has it EVER worked for you, or not ?
6 - Be patient, reboot, wait for 3 minutes to let vista connect and find the modem in WinMo/SnapVue.
7 - When resuming from hibernation, or sleep, it might not work. Check the forum
8 - Set your powerplan to max performace, see if that helps It does for other people
Guidance
Thanks Lucid, see comments
1 - check the IP v4 settings on your adapter in Vista, is it on DHCP ? It must be when you try to connect to the Telco's GPRS network.
CHECKED-YES it was even when it states Local Only
2 - check to see if NIC/Network adapter is turned on at all.
I am not sure what is the Network Adapter?. Were do I see this.
3 - Check to see if your MODEM is active in Vista, via the top left button on your shift
When I go to comm manger it states ON and ATT
4 - Did you install any liberation software ? I had to "connect to vista" once, after reinstallation, afterwards, Vista connects automatically to WinMo/SnapVue for internet.
I did Liberate and one time used the USB tool. If that was the case should I reset Snap Vue???
5 - Has it EVER worked for you, or not ?
Yes
6 - Be patient, reboot, wait for 3 minutes to let vista connect and find the modem in WinMo/SnapVue.
I have left it for an hour. the Win Mo connects in quickly , but nothing ever happens in Vista
Thanks again for your comments
Guidance
Lucid, one last question.
I have the USB Tool operational and I have Win Mo and Vista connected via the connection manager.
Vista states now disconnected?
Is this the normal condition?
Win Mo is still connected
SIM Card Sucess UPDATE
So here is what I found to be able to resolve my dead Vista connection issue:
1) I check the items Lucid mentioned (IP v$ set to DHCP/ NIC adapter/Liberate), including connecting using USB tool.
2) Went into my connections and verified that all of the connection drop down menu windows had the Wireless Operator System selected
3) Went into Active Sync/Menu/Connection and discovered that connection to USB was checked. I unchecked.
4) Reboot machine and left alone for 5 minutes.
5) Win Mo was going back and forth on connection, until it got stable . One minute after that Vista connected and has remained On.
I will monitor after I go into sleep and come out
Hello everyone,
I have done some research on Google and with the forum search here, but couldnt find out if this is a known issue:
I am using WM pro 6.1 on a Samsung i780. The device has a working internet connection (Internet explorer, connection to exchange server ... all works flawlessly).
When I enable internet connection sharing and surf on the connected laptop this works for about 40 seconds to 10 minutes, then the connection breaks up. I haver to hit "Connect" again on the device and after 10 seconds I am connected again. Of course this is extremely frustrating.
I checked this behaviour with 2 different laptops, one running WinXP, another running Windows7.Same behaviour. So the problem must be with the device and internet connection sharing on the device. The connection is via USB cable, so it ought to be very stable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. What would be the next steps? What should I try to find out?
I actually know a bit how a computer works (I wrote an even rather successfull computer chess program a long time ago ) but this I can't solve. It is important for me, because I seldome use internet at home and if I can get this to work I dont need another internet connection (saves me 20 Euros a month!)
Thanks again!
georg
to simplify
basically I can imagine the following steps to bugfix:
- is there a debug file in windows mobile 6.1. where it writes info about the internet sharing? then I could check there why it disconnects.
- if not, is there a utility for windows mobile which maybe allows more stable connections opposed to the built in connection sharing?
- should I try updating to 6.5.?
Again: Internet on the device/mobile phone ist stable (!). What disconnects is the "INternet Connections Sharing" even though that is via a USB cable(!).
Thanks.
boss, i am using following
1. device- htc hd2 , win mob6.5
rom- 1.66.415.9 wwe.
