Am I installing incorrectly?

Being a Mac user and not using Windows mobile device for over 6 years, I seem to have totally forgotten some basics.
I bought a game from handango called Resco Guardians
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...349&sectionId=7612&merch=L1_Bestsellers_Games
(it stated the game should work on HD2) but totally forgotten how to install 3rd party apps..in the old days I remember using Activesync. But now, I loaded the exe file to the device memory card and tried to run/install it from there, but got message this is not a PPC compatible software.
Have I installed it wrong or is it simple not compatible?
Also, is there specific drivers I need to install for Windows 7 to recognise my device, as the Windows 7 mobile app does not seem to recognise my HD2.
Thanks for advice and please excuse the fact that my mind has gone blank regarding Windows.

The .exe is for your PC. It will automatically add your new game to ActiveSync, and send it over when you next dock.
For Windows 7 you need to download the Windows Mobile Device Centre. No drivers are required.

Connect HD2 via Active Sync or Windows Media Center for Vista and Win7 and run .exe file from PC... It´l install your game to your PDA...
You dont need any drivers...

Do I select Activesync or Hard disk mode (usb plug option)? it must be todo with me trying to connect using VMWare Fusion, as the device does not seem to be recognised.

Active Sync mode, btw Windows 7 should already have Windows Mobile Device Centre installed form what I know, is there no cd/software with the hd2?

Yes device centre present, but no CD with HD2, in Activesync mode, device is not recognised...maybe to do with me running Windows in Virtual mode..but never happened before with Blackberry etc.

Just tried connecting my HD2 with a Vista laptop, still cannot connect in Activesync mode. Could a HD2 owner please tell me how they are connecting to their PC. Maybe an option I have not selected?
Thanks

You need to install Windows Mobile Device Centre for Vista, not Activesync

Thanks for link, its already installed (and reinstalled it) but there seems to be a problem with HD2 being recognised...did your phone come with a CD?

OK fixed it - for anybody else who may encounter same problem...make sure "Enable Faster Data Sync" is NOT checked in USB to PC setting.

That's odd, mines checked and it works fine. I am using Windows 7 and not Vista so may thats why it works for me?
At least its working now!

Yes since I unchecked the option, now works on Windows 7 and Vista in virtual mode on my Mac.

myTouch 3G will not connect to pc other than for charging

I bought a used MyTouch 3G with the 3.5mm jack. Everything seems to work, except for connecting to either of my windows 7 pc's. I have the oem usb cable that came with the phone. When I plug it in, Windows says the usb device is not recognized and is malfunctioning. I attempted to install the drivers that come with pdanet to no avail. I also installed htc sync. When I plug the phone into my computer, it starts charging, but the taskbar message on the phone does not show it as connected to a pc.
Any ideas here?

try another usb cord?

Try to install the USB drivers that come with the Android SDK?
(I don't think you need the HTC sync stuff for that).
Depending on what ROM you are running, or if it was made by some paranoid network provider, you might not be able to use the phone as a modem (tethering)... I've heard that some network providers disable the tethering feature...
With CM ROM, I've had no problems tethering over USB in: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu 10.4 (Windows XP didn't work at all).
You have to enable the tethering feature first on the phone before it will work (I'm not talking about installing some app from the market, I'm talking about the built-in setting: settings-->wireless&networks-->tethering).
Have you tried mounting your SD card to access it as storage device over USB?
If neither tethering or USB mount wants to pick up when you plug the cable in, I'm guessing your cable is bust or your phone...
Have you tried the same cable on another PC?
Are you using some dodgy USB add-in card or USB hub on your PC? Did Windows 7 install the correct drivers for your USB controller on your motherboard? (do any other USB devices work on your PC?)

same problem HTC my touch 3g
I have a google tmobile htc my touch 3g 32B 2.2.1 android and under vista i have a load of usb problems device not recognized. have tried many many things still nothing works. called htc they told me to call ms. perhaps some conflict with the device. problem rooting it with sapping and gold card method and sapping as well. any suggestions?

Maybe you have a corrupted misc partition :0|

just restart your phone... it will surely work

When I connect my phone with USB-Debugging enabled I get a message from Kies: "Reconnect your device in the Samsung Kies-(PC Studio)-mode again. The current connecting mode is not supported by Kies."

I'm sure you have already tried this....but have you plugged the usb cable into a different slot? preferably one at the back of the Pc. My phone wont sync with Kies if I have it connected to the front slots.

Still doesn't work.

Open kies.
Instal drivers from the menu.
Wait until it says complete. A couple of times it did not bring up the instal dialogue box. Keep trying until it says drivers installed.
It will then work. I had this problem on both xp and win 7. This sorted it.

It installs the drivers. The problem is, once I uncheck the USB debug mode and reconnect the phone it installs the drivers again and fails.

Plug your phone into the PC, turn off USB debugging & select USB tethering. See if it installs the driver that way. Also do this while your PC is connected to the internet, when/if it fails leave it plugged in the PC and check windows update to see if you need to download an update for the drivers.

Still doesn't work. I did a Windows Update.
Gerät entfernt means device removed and Fehlgeschlagen means failed.

Guys its simple.....i was also facing this problem. just unchecked USB debugging mode....and try to connect again. Its Done.

Another useless thread...

Right click - uninstall, reboot, reinstall drivers.

Same problem here!
My G2 is recently updated to 4.4.2.
I have tried on several computers, different ports and no help.
On the first connection to a PC not connected before windows reports "USB device not recognized" problem.
After that every time I connect the phone to the same computer the phone itself only recognizes that it is using USB charging mode, it does not recognize the computer connection (known by the USB icon on android system tray) even with "Ask upon connection option checked".
Even when I manualy change the Android mode in Settings --> PC Connection from MTP to PTP or even LG software, nothing happens.
Definitely there seems to be a problem with the phone, but I don't believe it's a software but a firmware problem.
Please help if anyone knows what to do.

same here

[Q]PC cannot identify Nexus 7, no driver? Charging when USB is connected

I recently bought a Nexus 7 (2012 - WiFi Version) on eB*y, the Device is Rooted, ROM is CyanogenMod-NIGHTLY-Grouper.
When i tryed to connect the Nexus 7 with my Laptop and PC it started to charge (but verry, verry slow) and i Windows says that the USB device cannot be identified (also i cannot install drivers for it becaus it cannot be identified) Fail-Code is: 43. I tryed it on Win7 Desktop PC and on a Win10 Laptop but no chance.
Also i tryed to install a Factory ROM via Recovery Mode (from SD Card) it says: Installation aborted.
I really dont know what to do now? I think it is the USB Flex Cable, what do you guys think?
Sorry for my bad English.
Hope someone can help me here.

On your Nexus 7, search for a setting called USB connections and ensure MTP is checked.
On your windows PC, Control Panel > Device Manager, go to your broken Nexus device, right click and update the driver for it... Select you want to install the driver yourself. Then it will ask you to browse to the driver, but underneath that you will have another selection along the lines, "select from common driver list". From there, look under portable devices and select either MTP Storage or MTP USB Storage. I had the same problem and only MTP USB Storage works for me.
For ADB and Fastboot stuff... Search these forums.
Hope that helps.

Don't forget to try other USB cables.

Just use the Nexus Root Toolkit and follow the easy wizard to completely setup the N7 on your PC:
