Hi
Has anyone got mDesktop working with the HD? I've tried the trial but mDesktop just doesn't connect. No error messages or anything.
Anyone else having these problems? Their website seems to have zero help!
Thanks in advance!
2.03 runs fine for me, on Windows 7, with HD connected. Think it requires Activesync running, which is always on on my device, during USB connections.
Thanks for your reply.
Still doesn't seem to work. When I plug my phone into my PC, it does open mDesktop automatically, it just doesn't connect.
A box does come up saying the connection has taken a long time and do I want to continue.
Any help?
Has no one else got this working?
works.. on vista.. very fine.. autoconnecting.. no probs
I'll try reinstalling then.
Is it just ment to connect without me having to do anything?
Hope it's not too far off topic, but http://www.mymobiler.com/ works fine on HD (and it's free).

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 everyone, I have tried very hard to find a solution to this problem. My P3300 stopped syncing with Mobile Device Center every time I plug in the USB cable. Is this a cable fault or is it hardware/software malfunction? Has anybody experience the same issue? Even with bluetooth my pc can not find my P3300? The USB cable charges the phone no problem but there's not connection from the PC to the P3300... Any help will be deeply appreciated.
if you look in the activstnc box under file
connection settings
make sue all the options are checked
If you have already checked this I'm at a loss apart from to reinstall AS on your PC.
Good luck
Pete
Thanks peterbutler19 for your input...yeak I made sure that everything was checked..also noticed that everytime I plugged in the USB cable there wouldn't be any reaction at the PC... like not even seeing an external USB device... besides only charging the P3300. Its quite a troubling issue.
Don´t know why it happens, but i found that is a problem with windows media player in windows vista.
It´s an issue between, WMDC and WMP.
Hi I use to have same problem, I think is the rom version that you use or a program that you recently install. The way I fixit was only hard reset because the re-installing of activesync dont resolve nothing.
Ark666, hmmm didn't thought about that... I might give it a try and see it that solves the problem. So far now I can only charge the phone and that's about it...
I did a hard reset on the P3300 ryomahino, but the problem still persist. I try to install the WM6 original ROM but can't do since the phone can't activsync with the PC. By the way I am using the B&B v4.2 ROM

I don´t remember the site, but do a google search, it has worked for me, it has nothing to do with the device, the problem it´s Vista itself.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304131&page=3, post 27.
Media Player may not work after this.

I too had a problem with my Compact III loosing its sync with Vista.
It drove me up the wall. Somedays it was fine others it just reported a red cross... I had to go into Device Manager on the PC and remove the drivers manually and then resinstall them. But over time it would loos the syncing again.
I eventually solved it by using a different USB port on my PC.
I was originally using the USB hub that was built into my Dell monitor, but whenever the screen was powered down and the PC left on (ie overnight) the hub didn't always wake up properly.
I know only use the USB ports built into the back of the PC and I have had no problems for several months.
Hope it helps
I had the same problem with my O2 XDA Orbit.
The only thing that cured it was a hard reset
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!

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.

It looks like a hardware problem to me, something is not powering up your screen..try another, you can find good deals on ebay...if you want to perform it by yourself.
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.
