Hi,
Im really frustrated and on the urge of giving up !
My activesync is not wrking with any computer. I dont know the reason.
I have searched all the possible threads on Internet but no answer. Tried HARD RESET, still no resolution
PLEASE HELP
I have the same problem a few month now, I especially need to remove the Micro-SD to transfer stuff from my Artemis to my laptop with a USB stick.
I work with Vista 32, when I connect the USB cable, any reaction from Windows Mobile Device center anymore! Maybe due to a Windows update or WM 6+ or something, can anyone help?

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.
Hi all
This is my first post but i have been reading in the forums for a couple of days to see if i can work out how to fix my pride and joy by myself.
I tried to upgrade to WM6 and it seemed to halt mid update and i lost my active sync, it was only a few seconds into the update and i stupidly left the sd card and sim card in the device, this may have been the problem. I can get to the boot loader screen as i can see serial and v1.00 on the grayed out screen. I see USB in place of serial in the boot loader screen when i connect the USB lead and also hear the connection sound on my computer. I know that active sync is working as i have connected my c500 smartphone to check. I have also reinstalled Windows mobile device center. I have also tried to connect on my XP lappy and when i try to start mtty 1.42 it blue screens my lappy (anyone else seen this or have a solution?)
Main thing is can i use an SD image to flash a new rom
If not how can i get active sync to see my device
anyone know a good repair shop in the UK
I really have hunted the forums for an answer to this problem but can't readily find a solution any help gratefully received. Also reassurance that my XDA is not totally dead would be nice.

trying to restore using Vista and Windows XP pro
Yu have not been reading verry well!!!
That is easy to fix, just read WIKI
Disable usb in active synh!!!!
Hi thanks for the speedy reply, but i did try disabling the USB connection in active sync and nothing altered. I may be missing something tho so will have another look at the WIKI. Maybe it's because im using Vista, reason being that my lappy running XP is blue screening, would i be better using the lappy and fixing the mtty problem? If you could give me a link to the easy fix so i could find it a little faster. I really wanted to sort this out myself but i am also concerned that my pda is screwed and although all you maybe see a lazy n00b that hasn't read the site very well i have put in a large number of hours reading, i admit flashing firmware is not something i do every day and im a little out of my comfort zone and a few pointers would be very much appreciated.
I have some staff in my folder wich helped me in any problem situation i have ever been.
Try to borrow someonce PC...
Dont use hubs.
Use the same USB port for the whall proces
Done all of those but still no active sync connection! Is there some way the profile for the PDA in active sync can be removed to allow a clean install? Or can i flash some way with the SD card and avoid Active Sync altogether?
I appear to have sorted the problem now. It would seem that the IR port was conflicting with my active sync connection, i was getting a blue screen and a message about ircomm.sys when i disabled the virtual IR port in control panel my pda connected to the mity application without any problems. Hope this will help someone else that is stuck on the same problem.
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.
Cheers.
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

Well, it would help a lot to know what ROM you have
try desabling advanced network functionality on start-settings.connections-usb to pc: Untick that (Not sure if your ROM has this option)
Good luck,
im running kaneva 6.1
Kavana 6.1 Excalibur i did what u said still didnt wrk even hard reset didnt wrk
I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the cable.
A USB cable is just a USB cable right?
Wrong.
It turned out that the cable I was using was from my SatNav unit, not the one that came with the phone.
The phone lead works just fine with the navigator but the phone doesn't like the navigator lead.
Honest.
I'm not even making this up ...
Try a different lead. It really might help.
Stop laughing.
It might.
did that still didnt wrk
Bugger.
Thought I was going to save the day there.
In your first post, you imply that it used to sync via USB and now doesn't.
Are you trying this through ActiveSync or that Vista WMDC thingy?
Will it sync over USB on another machine?
Oh yeah - even though it won't sync, does your phone show up as a folder in Explorer?
idk if it will sync on other pc and kno it doesnt show up as a folder
Assuming that the USB drivers on your big machine haven't collapsed, is it possible that the socket on the phone is damaged or full of pocket fluff?
Try it on another machine. If that also turns out to be a joyless experience, it might be time for rolled-up sleeves, equipment and strong drink.
If you get no further on another system, post some more details -
ROM version
OS
Credit card number and PIN
etc.
You know the sort of thing.
hi there..
after browsing 5 sites here to look if there is allready a post whit this problem, i open my own one..
so the problem:
the internal memory on my samsung is very very unstable.. im not able to copy anything to the device.. all the time i get a error, the device stop working, and the copy job could not complete.. i notice that very very soon after i get the device, the memory is very slow, and really unstable. im trying to copy some pictures on the device, but whitout success.
i try it in mtp and ptp mode, but get the same problem..
is this a know problem, is there any solution for this? somebody here with same issue??
many thanks!
What OS is on the machine you're copying from?
Both mtp and ptp are problematic in linux, many have reported problems with XP, with Vista HP 64 bit I can copy to but not from my GN whereas with win 7 64 bit I have no problems. I have no experience with iOS.
It's more likely to be a problem with the protocol than actually with your GN's memory; more people seem to be successful with a wireless transfer, try an app such as airdroid if you don't want to set up a wireless ftp.
hi, im using win7 64bit.. regarding wireless its working, but sometimes i will make a backup from my files on the phone, and there are some gigs on it, so its much easier to do that with the usb cable, but this connection is terrible.. is that a problem on the side from google or microsoft?? i mean, with android 2.3.x i cant notice this problems, the connection was very stable and fast.. but since the 4.0.x is out, its not usable..

Try a different cable and a different USB port, unplug other unnecessary USB devices as well. Also, your anti virus (if you're running any) maybe causing a problem.
