Active sync get on my nerves!
I've had a partnershhip set up at work which was woking fine - it's how i transferred over my contacts from my wizard. Anyway, it's just stopped working and i cant figure it out! Please Help!!!
I was using 4.1 so upgraded to 4.5 to see if it made a difference - nope.
I unticked the 'usb to pc' box to disable enahnced connectivity - nope.
I've had the same problems at home using vista's Mobile Centre thingy.
Basically it looks like it's trying to connect but doesn't manage to. I can only think there's a setting on the device that has changed somehow.
Oh, and i've disabled the firewall to see if that would make any difference. The fact that it doesn't work at home either implies it's not that problem anyway.
Advice please!!!!!!
Try .. Start Activesyn on phone manually and push the sync button manually (when USB connected to the PC).

Hi. I had tried this. Ended up getting so frustrated that i deleted my partnerships from pc and phone so now don't even have this option on the orbit.
When i connect the usb the active syn green arrows turn and it does say connecting - but in AS 5 it comes up with the troubleshooter. In vista it doesn't do anything at all!!!
Very frustrated!
oh.. and the local area connection show connected...
OK... so reinstalled AS 4.1 and now when I connect it is stuck on 'Connecting' ... hasn't stopped 'Connecting' for about an hour now!
Now i've noticed that windows now thinks this is 'windows mobile device #8' coming in at 'Local area connection 10' ... not long ago i;m sure it was connection 4 and i certainly don't have 7 more devices!!
help!
I had a similar problem on my new Asus laptop and it turned out to be a nasty little proprietary program called net4switch that was gumming up the works. I turned it off and now all's well. It's a long shot that you have an Asus but, on the other hand, you might check to see if a network connection proggy is hindering your connection.

Nope, no ASUS laptop. Don't think i have any network apps installed - although i had though maybe the work network was holding me back!
But then again, it did work when i first had it - at work and at home! Now, all of a sudden it doesn't sync anywhere! Very very annoying!
I'm really hoping i can avoid a hard reset!!
When I run into this problem, I unplug the phone and then reboot the computer.
After the computer has finished rebooting 100%, then everything works fine again.
try updating active sync to Version 4.5 - that's the offical advice and it wored for me
OK.. I've upgraded my work computer to 4.5 ... no joy so back to 4.1.
Anyway, got VISTA at home so main issue is there.
Realised it's GOT TO BE the phone now though. Decided I'd try to plug in my Wizard and see if i get the same problems. I didn't, IT WORKS fine!
Orbit still doesn't.... HELP!!
ok.. reluctantly hit those hard reset keys and to my delight everything now works...
... i'm thinking MAYBE that i may have overclocked too much - only went as high as 260 once - so am going to hang back from battery status until i hear it's safe.
Thanks for all your help!
I have had this problem before, solved it mainly by following advice here, its now back again have...
- reinstalled activ sync several times
- hard reset twice
- boxes checked and unchecked all the same result
however i did use it yesterday in the car and probably, thinking back, start the engine with the with unit plugged in and charging.
i have also tried soft resets and different usb ports
not impressed
UPDATE
its now decided to work? oh well not sure what i did
Right, i've had the same problem. Fortunately i've got 2 Orbits at work to play about with, and after every possible combination going, i've found what the problem is........
Like previously posted, it is a hardware problem, however, in my case it was to do with the connection.
Quite simply all i did was insert the cable into the Orbit (not connecting). Then i would rest my hole punch on the connection next to the orbit - forcing the Orbit to lift upwards. And hey presto it works !
Hop this helps people
Hi All
Hope someone can help - have tried looking through forums but can't find anything that solves this.
I was struggling with memory - down to 1mb of storage - so I did a hard reset. Memory problems solved and am minimising software I put on the phone now (and installing them to storage card etc).
However, when I try and connect it to my PC with activesync - NOTHING.
The phone starts to charge which implies to me that the cable works. I've also tried a different cable, and different USB holes on my PC. However, no luck.
The USB option is ticked in Activesync connection settings and still nothing.
Can anyone think what might be the problem - I have tried de-installing Activesync and re-installing, have deleted any partnerships, but dont know if i need to delete USB settings or something.
Hope you can help this novice overcome this problem,
Ta
That's the stupid Artemis default setting that causes that error. Go to Settings > Connections > USB-PC and disable the enhanced network option.
Thanks for the quick response but afraid it's not that problem - I already have it unchecked.
Any other ideas?
Which Version of ActiveSync do you use, which OS and which Firewall? Are you sure you did a hard reset - did it erase all your data and come up with the setup screen?
Started with 4.5, then downgraded to 4.2, but when it didn't affect the connection, I put 4.5 back on.
OS: Win XP
Firewall: Windows - but do 'allow exceptions'
Yes - did the hard reset which took me back to start up
Had the same problem, in my case Windows Media Player prevented Active Sync from connecting. What I did, launched task manager sorted processes by name, and then plugged in the artemis.
In my case after 5 seconds or so a Windows Media Player process started, I had to manually end this. Windows Media Player keeps trying to connect, but after the fifth time of stopping the service my phone finally was recognized!
My OS is Windows Vista, but I read other forums where people have XP with this problem. Good luck!
I don't seem to have windows media player running.
I asked someone at work today as my phone won't connect to my work pc either.
We realised I don't have the original mini usb cable that came with the orbit and the cable I am currently using seems a little loose.
I do have the headphones, and when I look at them, they have a really snug fit into the socket in the phone and has small gold strips on the inside of both parts of the mini usb rather than traditional cables which have them only on 1 side.
Perhaps this is the problem - do other people have a mini usb which has a firm connnection in the phone? Perhaps I need a new cable given that this is an issue with any pc I try and connect to?
Had also problems, had to totally disable the firewall and shut down the popupblocker and sometimes a reboot with saved settings, on w2k and xp with activesync 4.5.
I searched... I unchecked the USB to PC "enable faster data synchronization" checkbox... I ran a repair/reinstall on my PC's ActiveSync software... Tried 2 different USB ports (but haven't tried a different cable yet, as I don't have another with me)... And reset my Tilt 2 a few times already, and my Tilt 2 refuses to connect or sync with my PC.
Worked fine here on Friday, but today I got nothing. The only thing that I noticed that was different over the weekend was that I got the Sleep of Death once and had to pull the battery.
Below is my current configuration. Anyone have anything else that I can try? If I can't get my syncing to work, my phone may end up being completely useless to me... That would make me very sad.
Thanks,
Debbie
Well, I started to respond and see you already had my suggestion; disable "Enable faster data sync", which for me does break ActiveSync.
So I'll go with this tact; if this is in fact broken for you for some reason, does USB work at all? How about using the phone as a drive? That said, are you sure you didn't check the default when plugging in the phone to be something other than ActiveSync?
Settings->Connections->USB to PC, last option is "Ask when I connect device to the PC"
If all else fails, personally I use Google for my calendar, contacts sorta with Google, and I load all apps via the browser, so I haven't used ActiveSync in about a year myself. So at least for me, if ActiveSync is broken entirely it's not a big loss. You could also try Bluetooth syncing if it's absolutely required.

USB doesn't work at all. Just tried the "Ask when I connect device to PC" and nothing happens. :::whimper:::
Could my port be damaged (it will charge via USB, however)?
EDIT: Just did a hard reset after exhausting all other ideas... Crossing all appendages that it was software interferring with the sync process... Pray with me, please.
EDIT... AGAIN: Nope, hard reset didn't do squat. I'm truly sad now and fear that I may need a USB port repair... Anyone have experience with this or can point me the direction of repair that won't cost me as much as a new Tilt 2? I'm truly gutted.
Debbie
The Little Light Bulb Over My Head Went On...
But there's no need to be afraid!
I'm thinking that there must be some USB Bluetooth thingy that I may be able to use to sync my precious Tilt 2 to my PC that is surely to be less expensive than getting my USB port replaced.
Have any of you had any experience with these and do they work just as well?
Many thanks!
Debbie
...Who will be trying another PC and other cables, but not having high hopes.

Absolutely, you can get a small Bluetooth adapter for your desktop PC which will just plug into a free USB port and enable you to connect your PC to just about any BT-enabled device, your TP2 included
BT uses a very standardized set of protocols, so any adapter that says it supports "version 2.0 + EDR" should work just fine for you. Once you get the adapter installed on your PC, syncing your phone is just a matter of setting the new activesync connection, and after that it should be just as easy as ever....easier even, without the cable!
um, is that what you were asking? lol I'm 99% sure it was, but...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant, Chris! Getting the USB port fixed will undoubtedly happen at some point, but for now that Bluetooth USB adapter will fit the bill nicely.
I just connected my Tilt 2 to my PC with the original cable and I got nada... Syncing is definitely shot. Thank God it will still charge or it would be a total loss to me.
Looking at Newegg.com now for my bluetooth thingy... Any other reputable suppliers that I can check for one? I suspect that it was my Ebay car charger that fried my USB.
EDIT: Seems some of the better rated ones on Newegg indicate USB 2.1... Is this still OK?
Hey, I can't cook a ROM myself, but I'm a very technically minded beotch, ain't I? LOL!

...Thankfully my Kaiser will sync up no problem! Whew!

Cool, I'm glad I was thinking along the same lines
Yes, any adapter that is BT 2.0 or above should work just fine, the 2.1 adapters are just a bit newer. I assume you're looking at the two zoom models on newegg? I think either one will work great, I just really can't tell what the exact difference is between the two.
It's a little confusing when looking at the BT adapters, they don't do a very good job of making clear the difference between USB 2.0 and BT 2.0. But...just make sure that the adapter is BT 2.0(or +), and it will work with whatever USB ports your PC has (older or recent)...they're all backwards compatible.
FYI, the TP2 also supports file transfer via BT (so you can move cabs etc back and forth even without using activesync, usually much faster than through activesync), and printing too!

I didn't say that....but I'm not aruging it either
Went with this one ASUS USB-BT21 USB 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Dongle.
I might get a second for the home PC, if all works out well.
Shipped already, so I'll probably get it in a couple of days (they're pretty fast).
Wish me luck!

Bluetooth Sync Successful!
...Kind of.
I forgot that I did a hard reset to try to resolve my USB syncing problem (without success) and had to restore my PIM backup to get my info back in there. Now, I've got all those duplicate/blank records to delete again... DAMN!... I had ignored my own rule!!!!
Anyway, I'm glad that this new phone isn't a loss to me now. Kind of a bear to get set up only because I don't usually use any BT devices, so it was a bit of a learning curve for me. Now that I've got that all sorted, it should get easier as I get more familiar. Not as easy as docking it, of course, but at least it's effective!
Debbie

Did u try plugging your phone into a different computers USB to see if that worked?

Yeah, I did, including different cables. Syncing capabilities via USB are definitely fried.
My Kaiser synced up fine, however, so it's definitely my Tilt 2.
Syncing has been going well, once I got it all sorted out, so yes, Chris, all is well with the world again... Now, I can switch back to 'playing' with my new Rhodium!

SKTools has some nice duplicate files software...just gotta be real careful with what you remove as it may be the same file name for a different program.

I ended up just hard resetting the Rhodium and starting the sync process again. Believe it or not, that was easier. LOL!
Will look at SKTools... Thanks!

Haha yea I know the feeling. At one point I duplicated 3 of each contact and appt.
I like Seven for syncing to e-mails, contacts and calendars because it is all push technology. When I update a contact in Outlook regardless of where I am it will automatically push that info to my phone, that way I do'nt have to worry about docking it (although i'm not sure if it does reverse sync, where if I have an appt on my phone shows up in outlook).
Hi Every One
I have exactly the same problem grrrrrr
I have win XP pro sp3, tilt2 with last HTC official upgrade
I made a search in XDA, Google it, htc forum nothing to do
Finally I do hard reset and is work …… for 2-3 hours
Then I think I find the problem bat I do not have the solution
Well, when you connect the tilt2 to you PC this stupid one consider the phone as modem and the tilt is configured to be used for internet sharing, even if you click on the phone that you want this connection as activesync,
So, once the phone is in modem or sharing mode, activesync cannot work properly and get access to synchronize, in other word you cannot do booth, and as the default connection in this situation is modem and internet sharing so bye bye activesync
I go to task manager and delete the modem, once you connect your usb, the modem appear under network card/widows mobile based device
A doesn’t know if this situation is a bug from HTC or uncle bill… I am trying to fix this from almost 2 days
I hope this help
Thank you
PS: please I am not to expert, so perhaps I am wrong correct me if it is the case
PS 2: Sorry for my English
Ive been on the other side... I did upgrade to 6.5 sense 2.5 rom and usb stopped... I tried everything, cables, computers, roms, hard resets, patchs, activesync repairs, botting ppc and pc, booting ppc plugged in pc, install - uninnstall activesync, deleted partnerships, etc, in one word - everything founded on the net. Nothing worked. No usb, no activesync, just "usb device not been recognized...". Finnally, I gave up. Contacted DebbieNY13 for bluetooth syncing instructions and bought bluetooth usb 2.0 edr 2.1 adapter. For no reason, I plugged a phone in a PC, and, as usual,my TP2 asked me for type of connection, I said activesync and... it started to sync! One time, two, ten, then I change connection to USB and my SD showed up as usb device! Unbelieveble! Thats happened yesterday and my phone still got usb whenever I want! I really dont know whats happened or what I did, it simply works. Only difference from times when sync was ordinary thing is, when i plugged a phone and decide which way of usb connection I want, little pop up shows up with text"RNDIS Serial USB connection Hide", or something like that, and quickly dissapeared. Thats my case, hope Ill find out whats going on and post it on forum.
Please do! Yours is not the first that I've heard behaving wonky like that.
Here's praying that mine someday starts working all on it's own, too!

Hi everyone
For the last couple of days I've been having trouble with getting my computer to recognize my phone. When I connect it, the usual red/orange LED starts glowing, but there's no reaction from the computer. Neither does the phone show any signs of having connected. The usual "choose which connection type you want box" doesn't pop up, and there really aren't any signs of having connected, other than the charging LED.
I've tried reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center, tried switching cables, I've checked the connection settings on the phone, but can't find any irregularities there, so I'm a bit lost here. Do you have any thoughts?
For the record, I have a Rhod100 and I'm using Win7 64-bit, as well as Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
Have you unchecked the faster connection?
Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Uncheck the enable faster connection. My win7x64 didn't wanna connect until I did that.
By "the faster connection" you mean the Storage Card mode right? If that's what you mean, then yes, I have unchecked it.
I have chosen the ActiveSync option, and have also enabled the option to always ask which connection type I want upon connection, however the box never pops up :/
Thanks for your reply

Activesync is the one that uses faster data sync, not storage card.
I know that the USB has a problem of going out for some people, so it could be an issue with that....have you tried to connect via bluetooth??

If the box isn't popping up, there is a problem with the USB connection try a different cable; if that doesn't work, take a magnifying glass and examine the phone USB connector - them may be some bent pins in the connector. If so, GENTLY straighten them out.
ActiveSync is picky anyways even if you have a good usb connection. On my xp compuer, if I want to connect without doing the setup (which I usually do, if I dont then it forces a push email account onto my phone if I sync), I have to hit the connect button in the activesync window. It flashes roms flawlessly, but disconnects often while file browsing. On my dads vista pc, it browses files perfectly but I have tried everything possible but cannot flash from it using wmdc. I would definitely try it on a different computer if I were you, your computer might just be acting funny
I just had the same problem and i tried all the fancy things you people are talking about.Its a manufacturing fault and needs warranty replacement of the board.noting else will work.

start the phone up in bootloader mode (powering on the phone with the volume -down pushed). The tricolor screen should come up with the word "serial" in blue in the white area. Then plug in the USB connector,that will tell yuou if your port is really bad. If not it will change "serial" to "USB"
Still if you haven't flashed it then send the thing in now, HTC honors warranties based on serial numbers so you don't have to deal with tmobile, but only if your phone is NOT hardspl'd or flashed with a third party custom ROM
I had the same problem on an htc diamond. It needed to go back and have the board replaced.
The fault is caused by connecting the phone to an in car charger and then starting the engine.
Took a while to happen.
Like it says, my computer charges it but doesnt sync up with my computer. i have a touch pro 2. (tmobile version) Im trying to connect it to my computer so i can do an upgrade for the energy rom any body else have this problem?
IF so can you help me on fixing this situatioN? please!!? thanks a bunch guys
happy holidays
I know this problem to good -I guess a hardware fault. I had this with my first and now with the second TP2 too.
For my guess the USB connector-hole (or how you call it in english) is too big! If I place the TP2 in a dockings station everything is fine -sync no problem.
If I try it with only connection by cable -not a hope.
If you buy I docking station I guess the problem could be solved
I had this with my 1st Tilt 2, nothing I tried worked. I had to sync/move files via BT USB. It was inexpensive (made by ASUS) at $14 and very low profile. Believe it or not, it worked really well, even for huge RHODIMG files when I wanted to flash a new ROM. The bigger the file, the longer it took, but it *did* work.
Recently, I got a great deal on a used, mint condition, Tilt 2 with lots of accessories, including an Otterbox, for $150 shipped, and my USB syncing is working again. Definitely a better deal than the $90-$275 estimate HTC gave me to repair the USB.
Hope you get it sorted, but it's been a common problem with this phone. Seems the pins inside are really delicate.
EDIT: Hey I just noticed we all have a "thanks meters" now... Schweet!
Debbie
dang is there any other way i can fix thiss??
Just had my T-MO Vario V replaced for this very thing. As my replacement started acting up as well with the same error, I searched again on the web and found that it might also be a faulty usb cable or the fact that you connect your phone via a hub rather than directly to a mainboard port.
I use another cable now connected to a mainboard port and guess what (and keep your fingers crossed) for the moment it's working.
Good luck!

Im using a T-mobile (SIM Unlocked) TP2 from Singapore. Same thing here, when plugged to the PC via USB (the one that came with the phone) it charges but doesnt show the actual syncing with ActiveSync 4.5. I used to have an old Treo 750 that synced just fine (though TP2 definitely has a much much better PC connector than the Treo).
One thing I noticed is even though ActiveSync is not popping up for automatic syncing, It always show in the taskbar as connected. I can even navigate to my TP2 in Explorer & transfer files to & from my PC via USB. My question is, is there a way for ActiveSync window to really come up whenever I plug my TP2 in?

Yes it is in the device setting in active sync ...
I also tried every possible settings with Activesync options in the phone but it still doesn't show the actual ActiveSync window when I plug my TP2 via USB though it connects & via the taskbar icon & still explorable in windows explorer. I just want to have that peace of mind that I can fully back up using Activesync aside from using other 3rd party backup tools before I start playing with different ROMs out there.
first check the "usb to PC" settings in setting menu on the phone, try unchecking "enable faster data sync" see if this makes a difference .
if not then try going into your control panel on your computer, and use "add and remove programs" and remove active sync , then re-install it , also change the usb cable if you have another one laying around..something that will make a difference..
"enable faster data sync" uncheck this and it should works.
I had same problem...
Try entering bootloader mode and plug it in and see if windows detects the device if it does then try clicking on start on your PC, then right click on my computer, then click manage.
When computer management opens click on device manager then click the + to the left of usb devices.
click on each usb controller you find and press delete and uninstall each one until none are left. Then restart the pc and unplug the phone, soft reset the phone. Wait until windows restarts and AFTER it has finished installing ALL drivers for your usb controllers plug the phone back in and see if that fixes the problem.
I just thought as well, try plugging the usb lead into a different usb port, that way windows will treat the phone as a new device
