I'm running Black Satin Medium right now and having AS 4.5 issues.
Have tried rebooting, reflashing, changing ROMs, uninstalling...all with no effect.
Checking my system, I see I have Net Framework 3.0 installed. Will this cause the errors with WM6?
Should I uninstall the 3.0 and keep 2.0?
Anyone else have this issue with the 2.0 Net Framework?
Thanks,
Jim
.Net 3.0 is still pretty fresh, but I don't know to what extent A/S uses it anyway (have always assumed not much). Perhaps if you could describe what "issue" you're referring to...

It does not recognize the device with advanced USB enabled. With advanced USB disabled, A/S does not even kick in.
Then after 10 minutes of charging, I get a bubble in the task tray stating "the USB device could not be recognized..."...and words to that effect. Unplugging and then plugging it back in will restart the charge but still not A/S connection.
It happens with every ROM I have tried. It will sync ONCE and then begin this behavior.
Jim
Hmmm... got another computer you can try it on? Beyond that it's sounding as though the USB in your phone may be borked.

The odd thing is...
1) this is a factory refurb...was an issue with the 1st unit as well
2) I can flash by doing a Hard Reset and then flashing on a fresh ROM.
Jim
One other note...My Internet Sharing does work...so this is very odd. It seems to be isolated to A/S 4.5...have downgraded Net framework from3.0 to 2.0. Still no effect.
Jim
Have you tried re-installing the Active Sync app?
For me looks more related to Active Sync Communication problem(Driver not properly installed.. May be)
imho there is no connection between .netcf and A/S.
check usb cable, try another comp, try to connect using wm5torage etc.

I always disable adv usb functionality for just this reason. I still use CF2 though. First time it (sometimes) kicks in, but will never set up a second partnership with another PC, even on the occasions when the first one is set up ok.
I suspect that this issue is quite likely confined to XP users but don't actually know. I only say that because Microsoft are buggers for forcing people onto new desktop OS platforms where they can and to be honest I assumed before ever using WM6 that I'd start to come across issues for which MS would 'prescribe' vista as a 'solution'.
Just a guess, mind - but we all know what they're like.
I have not had any problems with .net 3.0....
Where do I find the A/S driver? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled A/S.

There is no separate driver, they are installed when you install active sync. Since re-install did not make any change, I strongly suggest try the active sync on someother pc. This is give you a definate idea as to 'What is wrong'(Phone hardware or the softwareA/S)

Tried it on my desktop, running XP. Again, same issue.
If I hard reset, I can sync. This weekend, I think I will load each program one by one and try to sync and find the culprit to this problem.
I think it may be a software issue, as if I HR I can create an A/S relationship with my laptop and my Internet Sharing is still working, even if I cannot use A/S.

Hi, I've used 'logmein' from my Touch HD in the past, to connect remotely to my PC, and all worked well. But now, although I can log in, as soon as I try to connect to the relevant PC, it 'seems' to try and connect, but then does nothing. This is whilst using Opera - but, when I use IE, it works OK - once I'd installed a cab to enable remote access.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might need to do to enable access via Opera?
Thanks.
I use it too. Presumably the cab for IE is some kind of plug in which doesn't work in Opera.
Just stick with IE. What's the problem anyway? Make logmein the home page in IE and all the work is done for you. If you run it full screen it doesn't matter which browser it runs in.
I've made it a favourite in IE - so it's not a major issue, I just find Opera a little more intuitive.
I was just wondering what might have caused it to suddenly stop working in Opera, when previously it worked?
LogMeIn has never worked in Opera for me... only PocketIE.
Tip: If you log in using your PC, go to 'Edit Computer' or something, then you can drag a desktop shortcut that links directly to your remote PC. Copy that shortcut to \Windows\StartMenu\ and you have a link that you can stick in the HTC Quick Launch. Takes you straight to your PC Credentials login screen...
The only problem is the shortcut icon appears as an IE page, not Logmein icon, if anyone knows how I can customise that it'd be much appreciated!

Hi, I wanted to ask if you have similar problem as i do. I use ie and like above, after putting login and pass ie goes to blank page and nothing happens. do you have any idea what that may be? i use dutty ROM if its helpfull...

Same here mate. I was using the stock ROM and it was fine, but as soon as I upgraded to WM6.5, it stopped working. I guess it's the new version of IE that's incompatible. Maybe there's a way to downgrade IE to the previous version? I've only just thought of that, so I'm gonna see if you can do it now
Okay. For the guys who are having problems using Logmein with Opera, I'm sorry, but I've got no idea what that problem is.
For people like myself who have upgrade to WM6.5 and found the new version of IE does not work with Logmein, the only answer I've found is to downgrade IE to 6.1, which you can do from following this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1890124&postcount=2
Personally, I didn't really care for the newer version of IE (whatever version it was), so am more than happy to downgrade to get Logmein back again!
Yay!
Logmein Application
of course it would be nice if there was a free standing application to remote connect to a PC via logmein.com. Similar the the iPhone app they do....
thanks you guys! i downgraded ie and it finally worked.
of course stand alone version would be perfect, like youtube - it looks and works much better this way on our powerful handset (i tried youtube on skyfire - you know, what i mean..).
I'l watch this thread if something interesting happens
see you later, hermi
This works great to get me to my remote comp.
(downloaded the old IE)
But the keyboard does not work. ant ideas?.
well I loaded the keyboard cab for the TP and now I can input text, except I can not get Capitol letters to work.
Hi all,
After messing (a lot) with keyboards, cabs, RACrtlCEs (or something) and after reading lots and lots of posts, I finally concluded that:
1 - Logmein won't work on Opera (don't know if it's RACtrlCE.cab issue or other). But as my stock HD has PIE built-in, no prob there.
2 - Using PIE, the remote machines won't reply to default QWERTY's keyboard. But as my stock HD has the possibility to change to default WM keyboard, no prob there also.
(By using Logmein this way, most of you should have logged-in with no problems and without installing or changing anything in the HD)
Now... I'm stuck with:
I can see all my remote machines and access them, but the ones with special characters in the passwords, I won't get past the login screen (e.g. @).
Does anyone have any idea I might haven't tried?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bizao.
Hi. I'm running a TouchFLO 3.0 ROM tp2 from Tmobile. Recently, without reasonable cause, manila stopped launching on soft reset. The ONLY way I can get it to load every time I soft reset is opening file explorer, going to the windows folder [which takes a good 3 minutes to load], and launching manila.exe. I haven't added or removed any programs in over 2 weeks, and it started today. Any one have any ideas besides backing up and hard resetting?
EDIT: Everything's running sluggish too.
EDIT x2: And after manually launching manilla, I'm missing my task manager button in the upper right.
sounds like as good of a reason as any to back up your contacts etc and do a hard reset. Especially if the phones being sluggish
It won't connect through ActiveSync. How do I back up all that stuff?
either use PIM backup or Microsoft MyPhone
Those would both involve me connecting to the device to install the cab. Maybe someone could tell me why all of a sudden I can't connect to the device as well? It's almost like my device has a functionality virus. -.- There's never been a huge problem connecting before, but now it absolutely refuses. I keep getting the "To connect to this device, you need to have ActiveSync 4.5 installed" message, when I blatantly am running 4.5.

Think outside the box...use the phones wireless connection to do it or use bluetooth to connect with activesynch. This is an internet phone after all.

How? I really have no idea.
EDIT: Nevermind. Emailing it to myself. Will it need to be connected to use PIMbackup or MyPhone?
use myphone... it can back up everything you need and stores it online... you can download the cab from the marketplace right on your phone. It uses your windows live account.
That said.. you can also transfer stuff on and off your sd card right to your computer no? By taking the card out and physically putting it in a memory card reader.
Myphone uses the data or wifi connection to back everything up. Pim doesn't just backs it all up to your sd card. Regardless I can only recommend what I myself use which is outlook or myphone and since outlook is a no go since you cant connect it via activsync for some reason I guess myphone is what I recommend.
good luck
Thanks for the help guys. All went well.

Glad it worked out.
I really dont know why for the last two years Microsoft hasn't done anything for this very known issue. It seems they want all of us to use Microsoft My Phone service and put all out private data online.
The problem I am having is the following:
I am plugging my phone to the usb port using the original cable and if it detects the phone it will start syncing ...but this syncing will not actually start. The progress bar does not move.
Initially and for a couple of times after it synced fine. But then I got into this situation.
Of course like most of you know if I delete the partnership and make a new one it will work. But then what is the meaning of collecting data on TP2 when they will be deleted after making a new partnership....so there is no purpose of trying to sync if I have to make new partnerships once a while.
I have been trying aaaaalllllll the solutions mentioned in dozens of forums
ie:
unchecked faster data synchronization
checked if the right services are running
followed this procedure also [TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers
Checked my firewall settings, also disabled the firewall during sync.
disable third party firewalls and anti viruses
I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, WMDC latest, and WM 6.5
I wish I could be proven wrong but I am sure that there is no solution to this problem. A 400euro operating system and a 500euro phone can not exchange information.
I have exactly the same problem (TP2 but running x64 windows 7). Did you manage to find any solution? Anybody?

Start > Settings > Connections > USBtoPC
Uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization."
It works just fine for me on W7 Pro x64.
If that still isn't working, consider switching to a different sync option, like BirdieSync and Thunderbird. That's what I use normally. The only caveat is that you need to set up a new partnership each time you flash, which is the same on WMDC anyway, so not really a big deal.

Sorry, I don't have a solution. I'm writing to say that I sync mine all the time with Win7 Pro x64, no problems at all.
I had a problem one time, and deleting the partnerships on the phone fixed it. Note that I do not sync emails or files; I don't use outlook for emails, only contacts and scheduling.
Have you tried doing a hard reset and then syncing the phone before you install anything else on the device?
I switched to 32 bit windows 7 and everything is ok now.
the only sync I can not do is through bluetooth.
the phone is freezing

Perhaps the device itself is failing, then. If you are only able to sync with bluetooth, then it would seem likely that you would have a faulty USB port on the phone. Have you tried doing this with the stock ROM?
Win 7 64 bit
HTC TP2
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
I was just about to ask a question about the same problem, but I see a thread is started already.
I just built a new machine, and when I first plugged the phone in, everything worked great. WMDC recognized the phone, loaded the drivers, and it sync'ed with Outlook 10. Everyone was happy.
The next day when I plugged my phone in, Windows Mobile Device Center does not even recognize that the phone is plugged in. WMDC shows not connected, I don't get the little "ding" when it connects/disconnects, and it doesn't show up as anything under "computer" when I click on the libraries folder.
The ONLY solution I have found is doing a soft reset on my phone. When I do that, it sync's. But as soon as I disconnect it and reconnect it, I get the problem as described above.
I haven't done ANYTHING to try to troubleshoot this problem other than uncheck that box on the phone that allows the phone to fast sync. Any advice appreciated.

Yes I have tried that Im using Vista. Thing is the HTC do come up with progress bar on the phone. Way to weird and frustrating.
Now everthing is connected and its only when the tri colors on phone comes everthing disconnects then the HTC emblem is there showing progress as zero.
When I'm in the WMDC and setting up a partnership should I check any of the options.

Like many others I have not been able to sync my HTC TP2 with my new Windows 7 64 bit computer.
I found a fix that worked for me. After many attempts to sync my phone and WMDC showing me it is connected, but at the same time show an error icon with no explanation, I thought I would do a manual Windows update to ensure I had all the drivers needed. After going to START> CONTROL PANEL> REVIEW YOUR COMPUTERS STATUS....I noticed I had an message that said there was an update for my Pocket PC. I downloaded it and it was an file called "drvupdate-amd64.exe".
I connected my phone by a usb cable to my laptop and selected RUN on the above file after downloading it to my desktop. It showed a status that was updating a generic driver and one other drive.......then WAMO, WMDC opened and my HTC TP2 showed it was connected and started to Sync. YEHAW!
Hi all,
I've been using a HTC HD2 running WM 6.5 since 2009. I'm still happy with it but it becomes more and more obsolete for many things (no 4G, unable to browse "modern" website, no HTML email support etc.). Now i think about purchasing a Lumia 950 for WM 10. However, there're many functions that seems lost or deeply changed since 2009. I need a new phone for professionnal use. I don't need social networks, games or entertainment things (what Android do very well by the way).
1/ I use Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 and i need to sync all my calendar and contacts with no cloud at all for privacy reasons. I have no exchange server. I'd like to do this through Bluetooth as i do it everyday with WM6.5. This seems impossible nowadays! Even between Outlook desktop and Outlook mobile. This is a hudge regression to me. I'm still stuck with my old WM 6.5 mainly because of this. I've heard of a software called Akruto but it works with a USB cable (another regression). Plus, and i can't find any feedback about this software. Is it really cloudless or not... we don't know.
2/ I need to sync many files by keeping the original tree with folders, subfolders etc, with no cloud again, between my desktop and my mobile. And i need this data being crypted in AES in case I'd lose my phone or some people try to access it. For now with my HD2, i use FreeOTFE which crypts and mounts a drive with a letter (i.e : G: ) on the desktop from a file stored in the microSD card inside the phone. After that, i can sync the files with a special software on Windows 7. This software needs a letter to be mounted for working. But again, it seems the MTP protocol has become the standard, and it's not possible to get a letter with it... Another regression.
3/ I need visual notifications when there's a miss call, a voicemail or a new mail without sound pop-up and without having to turn on the smartphone screen . The LED was very useful but i disappeared too. It was replaced by the glance thing which looks interesting. Does it work with the Lumia 950? I've read the glance doesn't exist (or doesn't work well) with AMOLED screen. By the way, can you choose what kind of notification exactly you need? To avoid draining battery for not useful things.
4/ I've been using Tomtom for GPS for 10 years now. And i'm sad to discover it doesn't exist on WM. What good alternative would you recommand? With of course point of interest customing and lansdcape mode switching automatically. Or, would you think the method to make working Androids apps on WM10 would work with a GPS software?
5/ Does Google maps exist on WM10? I don't want any alternative, but the original one for many special reasons.
Thank you very much.

First of all , this is a huge jump you have made!
but you should just jump in a figure it all for yourself, because there isnt any mobile OS out there that can meet your requirements unless you configure it specifically.

Yes i know i need to configure it to avoid the all-cloud forced step. That's why I'm here.
1. there doesn't seem to be any way to sync your calendar and contacts through bluetooth, and i don't think it's possible with usb either, unless using some kind of 3rd party software.
2. windows 10 has build in encryption, i haven't used it yet, so i don't know what kind of encryption it uses. but i think if you copy your files over they will get encrypted. another way might be using interop unlock, which, if i'm right about this, enables you to mount the phone as usb storage and mount it as a folder in windows, but again, i haven't tried this either, so i don't know how this works.
3. as far as i know glance does work on the 950(xl), but you can only choose 5 apps to display their unread count, in addition to showing the time and date.
4/5. there's no google maps, most google apps aren't available for windows phone/10. there is the default maps app, which uses bing maps. this app has basic navigation possibilities.

Thank you. The Interop unlock the USB mass storage seems good news.
Hi,
ad3) I don't own a 950 but glance should work with the 950 (I can't posts links but if you google it or look it up on windowscentral you can find instructions how to set up glance on a 950 (XL) )
ad4/5) Build in maps are OK and also allow offline navigation.
