Hey,
I have a strange problem when transferring files from my XDA Orbit (WM6) to my PC. The transfer window appears with its progress bar, and everything seems to work OK, but then the file itself doesn't appear in the desktop PC folder.
Hope you can help,
K

try to un-install and re-install active sync
btw which version you are using the best is 4.5 the one coming with the phone is 4.2
alternatively download wm5torage from the forum it will trun your phone into a flash memory no need for active sync just plug the cardle and activate wm5torage and transfer your files at 1.1 UBS rate!! deactivate wm5torage and you can use active sync again
but for reinstaling a rom wm5 is not an option... i cannot sync my device with pc.. ( tried reinstalling the 4.5 msasync, soft reseted the device...nothing. What should i do? i have )2 Premium WWE.
Thanks,

I currently have 350 outlook contacts on my works PC and I want to extract them and place them onto my Orbit. Problem is that my works PC has Activesync 4.2 on it and I need 4.5 to connect my Windows mobile 6.0 device to allow transfer via activesync. I tried downloading and installing 4.5 on the pc but it fails and I am not sure if it is because my work PC runs windows 2000 and it is not compatible. I can back these up to a ‘.pst’ file etc but can anyone tell me how to transfer then across to my orbit failing the ability to activesync? I know that once on the orbit I can use the pim manager to backup and restore them as required. Thanks in advance JD
Use Import/Export on Outlook
Hi, you can use the import/export option under File menu.
Select "Export to a file" then select what ever the file format (preferebly excel) and save it on a file.
Then similarly import that file on any PC with ActiveSync 4.5 on it and then sync the PPC.
I am sorry if you are looking for method to sync it directly.

If you own an XP PC version at home you'd better install Microsoft Outlook 200X + activesync 4.5 then backup your outlook.pst file from your work PC and sync everything from your home XP PC. That would be the best way to sync them, because sometimes activesync is killing your contacts both ways if you decide to erase a PC connection partnership.
Thanks Gguyaz this sounds feasible..I'll investigate this possiblity over the next few days. Thanks for all the replies...JD...
Is there a driver out there I can slap onto C:\ so that the computer will see my phone and let me drag files to it? I don't need ActiveSync atm just a driver so that the phone is recognized.
OS is XP btw

WM5torage if not in the ROM you using install it on device mem then you can see your storage card like a flash drive.

Turning off active sync on the phone and disabling auto connect on desktop active sync should force Windows to install your device as a flash storage device.
Well, the thing is that I want to use my phone on the desktop I use in the office. It's a company asset without Sync Center and it only sees the phone as a Generic RNDIS so that's why I'm looking for a simple solution.
Would WM5torage be the best thing? Would that have been in the Rose ROM 1.6 by Stylez and Ricky?

Yes if you click USBtoPC in the settings panel it there also in program group
I just found WM5torage on the device and activated it...not sure what that does with the phone.
It's all good now. That did the trick. Thanks guys.
Hello.
I have a problem regarding Active Sync just does not detect my phone(Touch Pro 2) and so I can not upload new romu. Nor can I upload anything to the phone memory. Somebody knows another way to load a ROM. Or to fix this error?
I'm from Polish so my English is not as good.
Welcome aboard,
Try leaving marked just the 1st option on start-settings-connections-USB to PC
Other option is that you flash from micro SD card
I can not install the card as it pops up an error that I can not copy files.

fiflakk, what orb is saying is to check the DOT next to "ActiveSync (Sync with Outlook)", and UNcheck the BOX right below it next to "Enable faster data synchronization." I've attached a shot of that screen so you can see what it looks like...
I did as you say, but I still can not detect the active sync

We'll need some more details:
-What version of windows/activesync are you using? For XP and older, you need "ActiveSync", but for Vista or Win7 you need the new version called "Windows Mobile Device Center"
-What exactly happens when you plug the phone in via USB? Does your PC respond in anyway, even just to give error messages? What messages does it give you?
-Does anything appear on the phone screen?
-Have you tried a different PC, or different USB ports on the same PC? Or a different cable?
-Has it ever recognized this phone on this PC in the past?

thanks for the help but just be advised the soft installed to close
i had a similar issue where i could not connect to activesync but could connect as disk drive. tried pretty much everything, my non connectivity was happening becoz i was running dot fred taskmgr and clearing the notifications. had to hard reset and active sync was back. i tried it a few times, as soon as i delete notifications i would lose activesync. stopped using that and now no problems, still have to figure out how to delete notifications and keep activesync alive.
hi i am new to the htc hd mini and i am finding very hard to find good info on what to do with it maybe its still new, but how do i install apps i have downloaded a few themes/apps and not having any joy of putting them on the the phone sure i have put them on the memory card but can't install them from there i have downloaded the activesync (running win xp) and that don't install apps. so i am stuck it was quicker and easy to jailbreak the ipod touch and put apps on there. where am i going wrong ?
many thanks a confused hd mini owner.
p.s
now i know there is no compass on it (one of the things i was looking forward to using)
also while looking on youtube there was a clip where someone is doing street view or somethink like and moving the phone about and the street image moved too, also i was told that using google maps with the layers i could find a shop with it..i think this must be for another phone.
apart from this its still a nice little phone would be much better if i could get some of the above working.
App extensions are CAB it's like seeing zip or rar file on PC.
to check the file extension in your PC go to Folder Option > View Tab > Remove tick from Hide Extension...
move cab files in your Storage card then in file explorer from your phone click on them and if prompt Microsoft security choose Yes and finally choose where to install applications.
in case your application is EXE: connect your phone to your PC via Active Sync and then run the file from PC... Follow the on screen instructions.

That's because you have extracted .cab file, before transfering it to device.
just like to say thanks i have at last installed some apps and i know how to work it now looking forward to some good apps now.
Hi all,
After installing a cab file I lost control on my applications.
I cannot install any cab.
I cannot remove any cab.
I cannot connect my Mini through Active Sync USB or BT.
I have an access to my SD Card only as external drive.
I tried to download SKTools On device Installer file (.exe) but still nothing happened..
all other things works perfectly.
Please help!
Thanks.

Most likely it is necessary to make hardreset!
