first off...
What operating system do you have on your computer?
XP=Active Sync
Unplug your phone from the computer
Scroll down to the setting panel (last panel) scroll right or left and UNcheck the first option.
Plug your phone to the USB
I'll assume you have Windows Mobile 6.
Check the settings on your phone, it is possible that a setting is turned off in ActiveSync.
If your on XP, check your desktop ActiveSync settings, ensure that the USB option is turned on. Also, be sure you have the latest version.
Hope that helps.
make sure you have enabled the advanced network functionality in settings>connections>usb
that is what ^ he said but i thought i would give you a little more specific location for it
So I was bored tonight and figured I'd try installing some new firmware on my T-Mobile Dash. A Google search brought me to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354126
I followed the instructions and installed that firmware and it appeared to go off without a hitch. Then upon further exploring the forums here I discovered that there's a WM 6.1 firmware out so I thought I'd install that one instead.
Turns out, after doing the first sync my phone now absolutely refuses to connect to my computer no matter what I do. I've been desperately trying to get it to connect for over an hour. I've rebooted the device, rebooted the computer, tried a different computer, nothing will make it connect. The PC makes the "usb connected" sound effect when I plug it in, but WMDC can't detect it and nothing shows up in My Computer.
Any ideas? This phone is pretty worthless if I can't get it to connect to the computer, I really need to get this working.

Hey there,
I try to synch my PC with my tp2. I own a PC with Vista and I plugged the TP2 on it. Bute the winmo device center can't find the tp2, so I can't put any files on my phone. The phone is charged via USB, so there should be a connection, but I can't find it in the explorer as a mass storage device...
Is it possible I did something wrong or can you help me fix this problem?
Bye,
Christopher

In connection settings do you have the option to "Allow USB Connections" enabled? make sure that box is ticked.
connect the device first and then open up the winmo device center. it's the only way it works for me.
Swith this checkbox off in the settings: Advanced connections.
When you connect your phone to your pc, open up the device manager and you should find an unknown device in the list. If oyu right click on it, go to update drivers, and then when the wizard comes up, you need to point it to a specific location...
If you then point it to the folder where the mobile device center is installed then it should find the necessary drivers and suddenly your pc will have found your phone
Certainly, this is how I have to do it with active sync on my pc at work (for some reason since connecting my TP2 - previously it had my TyTNII connected - it doesn't automatically recognise the device in terms of using the right drivers).
i had a similar issue, it was zonealarm. Try it with firewall turned off.
Hi all,
I have the same Active Sync connectivity issues, and they happen quite often, I should say... I did some investigation on my own, and after some digging (and talking to some friends), I managed to discover where the problem lies.
It seems that Windows Vista's Active Sync service get's kinda "numb" sometimes... and to "wake" it up, we have to start and stop the service. Here's my workarround:
Before we start, and since you may need use "start" and "stop" the Active Sync service quite often, I suggest you create a batch file (just create a normal text file and rename it to .bat after saving it) containing the following:
net stop rapimgr
net start rapimgr
With this file you'll be able to restart the service with just 2 clicks (followed by a "Y" and the Enter key).
Here are 5 simple steps:
1. After a failed connection attempt, close Windows Mobile Device Center and disconnect your TP2 from USB;
2. Run the batch file you created previously, and wait a couple of seconds after the DOS window disappears;
3. Reconnect the TP2 to USB and wait a few seconds (considering all the TP2 drivers were already automatically installed, if not, wait for them to install);
4. On your TP2, select the Active Sync option. On your PC, open My Computer and you should see your TP2 appear (if not already there ). At this point the Active Sync connection is already established;
5. Open Windows Mobile Device Center and wait a few seconds for the software to "wake up". The software should Connect to your TP2 successfully.
Et voilá. You're all set to replicate via Active Sync, and to transfer files to and from your device via Windows Explorer.
Repeat the process everytime the connection fails (which in my case, it happens quite often ). If it doesn't work the first time, try again, and if it's still not working... there's not much you can do besides restarting your PC and try all over again (blame Microsoft, not me ).
For the Disk Drive not connecting issue, you might want to to take a look into your Windows Device Manager > Storage > Disk Management and check if you can see your memory card in there.
When connected using the Disk Drive option on your TP2, it behaves like any other USB disk/pen drive, and it can be conflicting with another drive letter that already exists on the system (it's stupid but it happens quite often). To solve this particular issue, just change the drive letter associated with the TP2 memory card (it should have no drive letter associated if conflicting) to an available drive letter (right after your CD/DVD-ROM drives). Click OK ando this issue is solved.
Hope it helped...
P.S.: I also have ZoneAlarm (latest version - original copy) with max security definitions, and I can assure you that it has nothing to do with this issue.
It's terrible - tried every suggestion mentionned, but it just won't help.
When trying to update the driver, I can point to c:\windows\WindowsMobile\Drivers, but it won't find a suitable driver.
(I think the driver in Serial should be used, but it won't let me!)
Tried removing and installing WinMobile many times, removing the 'Unknown device' etc., but it just won't help!
This is a problem on every computer I tried with several cables.
However, the device did connect correctly when I still had WM6 on it. Flashed various ROMs from Miri, but for every ROM it's the same problem...
be sure you have checked the "synchronize all computers with connection" and drop down menu "usb" in active sync in your PDA (located in settings tab / active sync - menu/connections)
the naming can warry cause i don't use english wm

Thanks, but of cause I already checked this.
Besides, this should not change the useage of the device as remote disc.
Also, I noticed with the ROM from Atom that the device stops charging as soon as the PC sees something is connected to the USB post. (I only get an unknown device message and that's the only device that is 'installed')
Trouble syncing Tilt and Tilt 2 with Windows Mobile Device Center
I have two laptops and two cell phones. I can sync with the Windows XP laptop with no problem, however, I can't sync with the Vista computer at all. I've even tried reformatting the Vista laptop, but can't get it to sync. I've tried uninstalling the driver for the connection through the Device Manager as well as the Windows Mobile Device Center. Then reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center and the driver. I've checked the cable and USB port. They work for everything else I can throw at them, but can't get them to sync. Windows Mobile Device Center does not show any devices connected (either Tilt or Tilt2). Any advice?

Windows XP SP3
Activesync version 4.5

Laptop 2
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
Windows Mobile Device Center
Outlook 2007
Cell phone 1
AT&T Tilt
Windows Mobile version 6.1
AT&T Tilt 2
Windows Mobile version 6.5
Any update for the connection problems?
Here it still does not work; the device is still not seen as mobile device, but as 'unknown device'.
Just bought the Tilt 2, and I want to flash to something more customizable. However, when I plug it in and try to activesync, it just says "connecting" for a few minutes, then i get "error". I unplug and replug, but to no avail.
I am running Windows 7, with the latest version of WMDC. That is set to run in compatability mode for Vista. The driver for Windows 7 is good, when I plug it in I get the beep, and it shows up in device manager.
I have also set up the phone and unchecked "enable faster data connection", but that didnt make any difference either.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Have you try unticking all the tabs except the 1st one on settings-connections-usb to pc?
Then of course discconect and soft reset before trying again
Hope it helps
Not sure which one of those did it, but it works!
Thanks for the help!
Glad to know it helped
I need to change my ROM, becuase this one I have now just totally screwed up, really badly. I dosent save any contacts and just will always fail synchronizing. Ok, my idea is to revert to the stock ROM, and in order to changethe ROM I attempt to connect via ActiveSync and it does the 'Connecting' thing and then it just says Error.
Please help
And now it dosent even recognize at all. When I plug the phone in via USB mode, it does, but when I say connect via active sync, active sync on my pc dosent open up, and when i open up, it dosen't say connect, or connecting just remains disconnected. can you hard reset your device without using active sync?
Hi!
if you're using windows seven or vista you must have "windows mobile device center" instead "activesync".
perhaps..
You can try going to start>settings>connections>usb to pc
Select "activesync" and unselect the "enable faster data sync" option.
Then try it on your pc again!
flash trough bootloader press volume down when the phone is off then flash trough ruu
