Please help - I sync my Tytn with ActiveSync on XP (Laptop) and with Device Centre on Vista (Desktop). I have set the Device ID on my PPC & it works fine with XP, but when I connect to Vista the ID on the PPC is changed. I disconnect the device, rename the ID to what it was originally, reconnect and the ID is changed again to HTC?? ( ?? = random numbers ). This is causing the device ID to not display my name on BT Car kit. I have searched the web & the forum but have not found a solution.
Rom : Schap's 3.54c
make sure u erase any id's on ur vista.
or get rid of that ****ty os and install xp pro.

I've been trying to find a solution to this for ages! Everything seems to sync OK (with advanced networking disabled) but it's so irritating that WMDC on Vista changes the Device ID on my device, even when set manually on my Kaiser. Looks like this is simply an annoying WMDC/Vista bug that cannot be solved...

Do not use underscores in your device ID. When you flash a new ROM you typically default to HTC_TYTN or something similar; remove the "_". On my Vista WMDC the device ID kept on changing to HTC67 and the next time HTC69, etc. Removing the underscore did the trick.

Thanks! That did the trick. I was also having the super irritating problem of Device ID changing. I was using an underscore in my Device ID name. Removing it really did the trick, no more Device ID changing.
Thank you very much.

HI! After I flashed my TyTN second time, Active Sync on my home computer and my work computer detect the phone and freeze with "Retrieving settings" dialog.... I thought it has something to do with the phone, but on any other computer that I not synced before , my laptop or new xp and vista instalations on other partition on my home computer(same computer and same cable, and same software installed!) it sync perfectly.
I tryied to find any residual registry or files to delete (i delete the profiles in document and settings) but can't find anything to solve this. I tryied reinstalling Active Sync 4.5 but donst help either.
Active Sync troubleshooting dont solve anything.
Someone know a workarround o what files can be creathing this ?
What do Active Sync while displaying "Retrieve settings" ?
Go into Start>settings>connections>usb to pc
untick the box...then try.
Thanks but dosn't help. Cannot enter that option, and I can sync on others pcs and other o.s. (in another patition) on the same computer without changing anything on the pocketpc.
I googled and found lots of peobple with the same trouble and no one find any solution.
PS: I dont have any firewall and tested switching off all networks interfaces. I can ping the pocktpc assigned ip perfectly.

Hi everyone!
I have already posted this thread on the Modaco forum but I'm still getting no answer. I'm posting it here. I know there are a few threads about ActiveSync problems but none of them solves my problem!
I'm using an Orange SPV M650 (French branded HTC P3300) for a few monthes now, and I've been successfully syncing it with ActiveSync over Bluetooth from the beginning. At this time, I had created a BT COM port with the Windows Bluetooth stack, configured ActiveSync v4.5 to authorize connections through that port ; then paired my PDAPhone to the computer and checked the "ActiveSync" option that was available in the services listing. I was then able to sync using the ActiveSync application on my PPC.
A few days ago I deleted the USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop from the "Device manager", it's been installed back successfully on the next reboot BUT now I can't synchronize. The "ActiveSync" service no longer appears in the services list of my computer from the device's BT configuration tool. I only have "Serial port" showing.
Reinstalled ActiveSync twice, didn't changed anything.
What should I do?
Thank you!
(here are a few screenshots, French language used)
Up! Nobody's an idea?
i can only suggest something i do when i have similar problems:
1. uninstall everything involved
2. manually clean up all involved registry keys
sometimes, the remainders of not completely uninstalled programs can cause problems if you install them again.
i never ran into your specific problem, but trying this will at least make you forget your synch problem for the 60mins you are busy.
...and sometimes, above procedure even helps!
I had to reinstall from scratch Windows XP for other reasons and the thing is still not working! I really don't understand, I'm wondering if I'm not doing something wrong... How should I do?
Hey..
Hey found this manual for you..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/activesync+via+bluetooth?t=anon
Thank you. It's exactly that way that I'm trying! The problem is at step 12, the only service available on my paired computer is a "Serial port", not ActiveSync. I double checked that ActiveSync was properly configured on the correct serial port and it is...
i had this problem with XP, i sorted it out, but cant remembe quite how i did it, i have a feeling it was to do with the COM ports that you use for blueooth. upgraded to Vista and no problems, my suggestion is to go to vista, its much better then XP and everything works.
I have hardware unsupported under Vista (pro-soundcard) and my computer is a little bit too old (512 MB of RAM are fine with XP, won't be with Vista). Anyway I'm okay with XP, I won't change my OS just for an ActiveSync problem.
Anyway I updated my Artemis with the B&B 3.7 WM6 ROM and now it works... Was a problem on the phone I guess.
Thank you for your help
Dear All,
My Hermes suddently can't sync with my PC. I don't remember when is the last time it could sync with PC (either before upgrading to Vista service pack 1 or before repairing the flexible cable of my Hermes)
All contacts, calendar, Task, and notes on my Hermes gone and can't be sync with PC which contain all of these.
I've tried to connect-disconnect Hermes, reinstall windows mobile Device Center for Vista 32 bit, soft reset Hermes --> still the same, can't sync.
Every time connection between Hermes and PC on, Windows Mobile Device Center turns to "Error" or "connected" with "Set up your device" link.
Every time I click the "set up your device", It stop while "setting up partnership" at 45% with message "Changes to syncronization settings with Server ActiveSync could not be made at this time". After I click OK on the pop up message, it goes to neverending syncing mode.
Thank you for your help.
Hermes:
Windows Mobile 6.1
ROM version : Pays ROM
ROM date : 11/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10
protocol version : 32.80.7020.20H
PC:
Windows vista home premium
Service pack 1
I have the same problem. even redid my whole computer. I am running vista ultimate. I tried several roms that worked before but no success.
@cloud_kjo
Did you try to uncheck "USB to PC" in the settings/connection? Did you pair your phone with your PC and try syncing with Bluetooth? also, run a disk cleanup on your PC...if that does not work than try a different rom.
I have had simular problems with some roms. I found that that after flashing a Rom, I set up the time and put my name in the owners information, then I pair my Bluetooth and then sync my phone. If after flashing a new rom and I set up a lot of programs, most of the time it will not sync and I get an error.
also there is system restore on your PC .
Hope that helps
@jamal1782 Bummer, What did you redid? First I would uninstall and then reinstall WMD 6.1, then I would run a disk cleanup, run ccleaner, Flash a wm 6 oem rom and see if that will pair and sync...if you still have that problem, change USB ports, also look in Device Management and see if any USB ports are corrupted. Maybe you have a short in your USB connector
Here is a link that might help out...http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1762&SiteID=65
Dear Pumpiron579 thanks for your advise.
Have done the steps. Finally, the final solution is to re-flashing the hermes with another ROM. However because the stupidity of me, I forgot to back up the SMS messages content from my hermes. Now I lost all of them.
Is there is any way to recover the SMS?
Thanks.
Cloud, which ROM did you choose?

Try running this file http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe on your phone. It works every time my phone stops synching.

All I do when this happens is delete the Windows CE Services"folder" under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ tree of the windows registry.
If that fails, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2806941&postcount=2

My ASUS P525(WM6.1) has problem syncing with WMDC 6.1(also with WMDC 6).
When I plug in the phone, I heard a connected sound two times.
Not long after, there appears to be a disconnected sound just one time!!
Meanwhile the device disappear in My Computer, and WMDC shows error.
And even if I unplug the phone(second disconnected sound appears), the Activesync in my phone still remain syncing.
I looked up the Event Log in the Control Panel of Vista SP1.
Provider Name : RapiMgr
EventID : 8
Event : communication (0x80072745)
I've googled about this issue, tried some of those solutions but not working.
Dose anyone got the final solution??

Try this,
Go to Setting - Connection > USB to PC
Uncheck the "enable advanced network functionality" checkbox

But no good!

I have same problem... I already tried many tricks but without sucess. After upgrade my kaiser to WM6.1 official ROM, I can't sync anymore in VistaSP1 WMDC (latest). Is there anyone who solve this problem?
Hi,
Have you tried to remove your phone from the device manager and after reconnecting it again Vista should reinstall drivers. Or perhaps updating driver will help too.
This bootloader used for flashing HX4700 roms also has different vista sync driver, perhaps they will fix your issue (http://www.freetrafficsite.com/BootLoader.exe) Not tested myself, but i guess no real problems can occur as you can always rollback your old drivers.
Exe file can be extracted with winrar and you'll see the vista folders. Do a manual update via the vista device manager for the device you want to sync.
More on how to change driver at STEP 5 on Post #58 at http://www.modaco.com/content-page/252977/ruu-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/page/40/
Please use at own risk as i dont have your phone
Cheers.
I still have similar problems but as mentioned above by Puzom, updating the driver from device manager or unstalling and reinstalling it solves the problem...Rarely you need to soft reset yor device more than once....

im getting bored!
the problem existsts since i upgraded to WM 6.1 (original vodafone-rom)
Everyone's having problems lately with the new Roms and sync w/ Vista. I've used this on my last 5 Roms and it has worked every time.for WMDC (vista activesync) to work go into the device ID and name the phone "Pocket_PC" exactly how I typed it........no qoutes. ....oh and BTW make sure your Schaps Config also names the Device Pocket_PC
Let me know if it works for you
UPDATE!!!
ADDED: remove the advanced config program from your phone that works also!!
Any luck anyone?

I don't have anything running vista, but it's something nice to put in the memory banks just in case I ever run across the problem.
Maybe someone will give it a whirl.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't have a Vista box here @ work, but will try it later tonight. I wasn't having as much as an issue with it as some people. Sometimes I would have to kill mobsync and restart it for it to work.... I'll give this a try and see
Haven't had any problems synching with my Vista 32bit but if I do I'll try this..thanks
No Problem with Vista64 SP1
I have my 8525s named as such and have not had a problem synching or flashing with either my Vista64 SP1 desktop nor my Vista32 SP1 notebook. Thanks for your post, however!
This is weird because i have been having this issue lately too. Also my father with the same phone and different computer is having the same issue.
Seems to happen when im switching roms. FYI iv tested many Minella2d roms.
questions from a noob
I just got this phone, and my only other ventures into ROM changing was a Motorola ROKR E6 seems similar but I am trying to figure all of this out without a users manual, software disc, just by reading and trying to download.
My questions are how do I change the name of my phone. When I power on it says that it is pocketpc I already went to microsoft and downloaded the info for viista wdmc but I don't think that the computer recognizes the phone other than the auto play feature.
THanks
Tried your fix and, I am afraid, it didn't work for me. My Hermes still fails to sync after the intial setup.
not yet
I only changed the setting in the Shaps advanced settings under Friendly Name... and it still doesn't work... what is the other place you have to change it? thanks!
followed all steps u said and still no luck
not connecting to my PC is killing me

if your phone is connected your good to go another way you can go to activesync is in Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Sync Ceter
I am not sure if I should post here or under Schaps' rom thread. I have Schaps 4.31 rom. For 4 days now my 8525 stopped syncing with the computer, but in the same time my contacts and my events/calendar on the phone disappeared. I reinstalled the rom again, I reinstalled the Windows Mobile 6.1, with no effetcs. When the computer odes the first sync and set-up it says that I don't have the outlook installed. I have it on the computer, and on the PDA I have the office. So I am kind of stucked. I tried the Pocket_PC ideea, but the only thing now is that the Windows Mobile Center stops working in the middle of syncing, and ... no results.
Thanks for help

it connected once and only once. After that i have to uninstall the device in device manager, unplug the phone, soft reset the phone, plug it in, and let it reinstall the driver. this happens every single time i need to connect to my PC.
VERY frustrating
Vista and sync issues
I have two 8525 phones - under Vista, one would sync, one would not. I kept getting the RNDIS error and unrecognized device. I connected the one that was good, and went to the device manager to get details about the drivers used.
I connected to one that did not connect, and got to the point where I could specify the driver location, pointing it to C:\Windows\WindowsMobile worked for me.
