hi twiggy,
how can I help you (even that i'm not getting donations here)?
buzz

no ive given up on asking for help ive posted several posts over the last few months and to be honest ive got more help speaking to a brick but thank you for offering DONT DONATE

I have donated, but to be honest my meagre contribution is but a fraction of the value that I have had from xda-developers.
I have unlocked my xda and my xda2. I used the special ROM and later the ROM Kitchens to upgrade my xda. I have downloaded ROM images for my xda2 and learnt how to tweak the extended ROM. I have used buckets full of advice given by the members of this forum. I have had many laughs and smiles reading through the posts.
Xda-developers has been worth every cent/penny of my donation (and probably loads more too). I am waiting for an unlocker for the mda-pro. If it happens then xda-developers or buzzdev will get my next donation.
I haven't expected personal service with replys directly to me. I just read the posts that interest me (and some that don't) and make use of the services that many hardworking developers make available to us all.

Donations only keep the site running and finance its hosting/domain; they don't pay for help from other users of the site. If someone helps somebody else here, they don't get anything (financially) in return and are giving their time and expertise for free.
Regards,
Neil.

I donated because I like my HTC phone and I do not want to lose a technical resource like xda-developers. Even though technical information on HTC phones is hard to come by, there is more information about them on this site, than there is technical information about other phones on any single site. You'd be lucky to find this much information about any phone.
twiggy626: Calmly tell us your problem, be it "bloody damn activesync", keys and screen not locking the way you want, upgrade not working, or whatever's bugging you. State your problems clearly -- what is happening, and what you want to happen. You might not be getting an answer because your questions are not clear enough and no-one knows what to say.

Expanding on what leek said:
A good guide with pointers on how to ask questions in a way that is more likely to yeild results can be found here:

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on activesync. Others have more experience than I do.
When you say "after sync it drops the connection", do you mean after it has synced your files (contacts, etc.) it drops the connection, or do you simply mean after it opens a connection, it immediately drops it? Are there any clues on the screen of the PC or PDA, any messages? Does it say "synchronized" for any length of time? Can you "explore" your PDA from within ActiveSync?
Have you tried changing the options in ActiveSync? Have you removed unnecessary programs which could be conflicting with AS on your PC or PDA? Have you tried a different USB sync cable or cradle?
If you are trying to fix something wrong on your PDA by installing software on it, have you tried other methods of installing software, such as using a card reader and copying the .CAB files to a SD card, then installing the SD card in your PDA and running the .CAB from there? Or setting up a Bluetooth connection, by using a BT dongle on your PC? Wifi? There are many ways to install stuff on your PDA besides AS. Perhaps the solution to fixing AS, requires going around AS.
What is the history of your PDA? What have you installed on it, and what modifications to the ROM have you made? What steps did you take?
I don't know enough about AS to help -- I'm just trying to steer your questions so that you're more likely to get answers.

you are likely to get more of a response if you stop posting in unlocking and modifying and post with the forum that relates to your device. this way your questions will be more specific, and you will also find that those with more specific experience to your specific device can assist more efficiently that trying to cross advise.
for example, I cant really help on the magician, but have owned the himalaya, and currently the universal. so i only review the himalaya forum and no other.
also, i dont see much where you have provided assistance to others, it appears to be i want i want i want, try to give a lot and you might get back a little rather than vice versa.
it is true, we are all here to help, not serve.
You dont even point out your device, the version of your operating system on your pda or pc, nor what version of activesync. help yourself by helping us to help you.

to give assistance you have to learn, i cant learn from nothing

to give assistance you have to learn, i cant learn from nothing

I'm not sure if this is what you want. I am not an expert but I am just having a look at my device now:
I have an xda2 (Himalaya). With my device NOT connected to the PC:
1) Open Activesync
2) Click on Tools (at the bottom) and selcect Options
3) The next screen should mention the PC that you sync with. Click on the Options button.
4) On the next screen, tick the box for enabling PC sync and choose the USB option in the drop-down box.
5) Just underneath it states: When syncing remotely
6) Select the Maintain connection button
7) Click OK to close the screen
I suspect that this is more for bluetooth or network connections, but it is worth a try.
Good Luck

WM6 Black 3.0.1 advice please

Hi All,
Wow, Been a while since i had to post on here for help.
OK, before you all start flaming, Yes i have searched for a few days, inc. google and the WM6 Black forum 4winblack to no avail,
Everyone asking but no one answering and just flaming (hence no one can find the answer when searching and leaving them no choice but having to ask)
ME.
Member on here since 2005 ( so no noob, I always search and find )
have a MDA vario II HERM 300
Running Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 3.0.1
IPL 1.04
SPL 2.10.OLipro
Radio ver. 1.41.00.10
T-mobile UK W+W
OK the burning question that has me stumped.
and i am cringing cause i dont want you to flame throw me.
Windows Live issue
Unable to establish an internet connection. Can this be fixed and How?
I have re installed WM VI black Live & messenger cab but still same issue.
Messenger Sign in as issue
How do i get to sign in there is no where to sign in
just a blank pick and the option to go online.
Are these issues fixed and are they just relevent to WM6 Black or all packages, am tempted to downgrade or switch roms in hope.
Finally as last resort will posket msn work on WM6
Again sorry for asking but i do truly search, it a shame when you do get new users using such a great forum and they get flamed, Remember if everyone is treated in this way, how can anyone search and find the answer.
I have opened countless posts on the subject only to find the person asking flamed and no answer given. This makes it near inpossible to find the correct answer.
Didn't come on to moan LOL. Have a good un all,

Can't help on your other issues as I don't use Messenger or MSN, but I have no trouble with Windows Live with this rom. Connects with no problems.

You need to reenter your 3G modem settings in your connections so that it knows how to connect to the network. wap.cingular and then your 7 digit phone number is hte password.

Am able to browse web fine and hitting speed of 1200KB sec
used the TMobile UKFixed cab which auto does it all for you, but just keep getting this damn message.
Or am i missing something here...

hmm.. I have seen these issues before in other posts and enouctered some myself. Pimpmyblack has a tab which will allow you to have your gprs/media net on all the time (assuming you have unlimited plan). From my experience there is a bug with live, it doesnt like to establish gprs conn if it is not alread on. I have noticed this with piscel browser too. As much as I hate doing it, my non-hack work around is to open pie and connect to google. this establishes connection w/ gprs. its not ideal, but I have exhaustedly serached for a fix to this too with no avail. hopefully that can hold u over until the geniuses figure somethin out.

Yeah it maybe something with WM6 i think and the way it allows programs to hook up to the internet. For example everytime i use my opera mini i have to first open up explorer to establish an internet connection and then i can start using opera mini. So that maybe what is required for you to do. But i would highly recommend you to just switch over to one of the newer roms that have been cooked. I was on black 3.0.1 and just had to many problems with bluetooth and connections to the internet. So i strongly recommend that buddy.

thanks for the suggestions, glad others have herd of the problem but unable to find fix.
yes. I have tried pimp my black and changed settings to internet always on.
also tried with internet connection open and then trying windows live and messenger but both problems still exist.
shame as accessing my hotmail accounts instantly is a must.
looks like will have to try your suggestion of another ron.
recommendations ?
thanks

Well it looks like This was one good thread. started good and ended good. So lets lock it up if its cool with you guys.

agree, thanks to everyone.
to sum up.
I could not find a fix to the issues I had :-{
I eventually took the advice and changed roms.
now running Custels 2.5 and everything. I mean everything is working fantastic. plus the bonus of office 2007 and live is running great.
I can only suggest black is a little buggy for myself but hey im happy with Custels 2.5
thanks to all again.
try not and leave it another 2 years before I post again lol.

HELP! Can't sync with Vista anymore.

I recently installed a different ROM onto my device, and now when it syncs with my PC to install the device driver, it installs "Micro$oft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3." What the hell is this? Removing it from the Device Manager only reinstalls the same one and I can't sync with WMDC. How do I get Vista to install the correct driver, and why did it never have a problem before?

This happened to me as well after I installed Schap's 3.54c ROM would like to know if there is a fix.

Oh come on, guys. I really wish just once someone would successfully answer one of my questions. This is kind of a big deal here. I can't flash another ROM if I can't sync, and I'm a little skeptical that NO ONE HERE has ever encountered a solution for this. Help me out!

You've been very lucky my friend.

You’re damn lucky no one has flamed you for all of your noob posts. You need to post less and search and read more.
However, because I'm somewhat of "noob" as it relates to posting but, I'm a bit of veteran when it comes to flashing, etc. I’ll bail you out on this one.
1) First, in order to flash from Vista you should visit the Incredible MrVanx’s site. That should allow you to flash from Vista (I haven’t tried it as I have an XP machine right behind me from which to upgrade my 8525 without the risk of heartburn).
2) If it’s syncing you want then you may need to disregard the above and follow the advice posted here.
And, as advice I gave to another smarta** poster (free advice being worth exactly what you paid for it). Drop the attitude and improve your searching/reading skills. If you don’t want to do that, then stop f’ing around with ROM upgrades.

Meanwhile, you need to post less and learn to read more carefully to the posts of those you're responding to. I have flashed ROMs a number of times. Where did I say that I did not know how to flash a ROM? I said that I can't now because since my last flash Vista will not recognize my PPC. It installs the wrong driver and I cannot figure out how to change that. The only thread I found that seemed to answer this question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303634) did so in italian.
I also found another thread dealing with this same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301876&page=3) but aside from re-installing Vista which I am loath to do, none of those solutions worked either.
And as for your second thread you directed me to, I'd already read that and tried downgrading WMDC before. I suppose I should have clarified myself by saying that it's not simply that I can't sync, I cannot connect my PPC to my computer through WMDC at all. I should have been more specific, but I figured since I mentioned that it kept installing the wrong driver, you would have been able to figure that out on your own.
And let me get this straight, you call yourself a veteran flasher, but don't even HAVE the computer operating system I'm having trouble with? Perhaps we both have things to improve about our postings, Timmy.
As for all my "noob" posts, I searched all of them before posting. Not to mention I've only had to post three previous questions which I could not find an answer to on here or elsewhere, those being
A) Is it possible to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui without having to do a ROM dump? (Never got resolved, though Sleuth at least tried the basics).
B) Is there anyway to redate SMS's since Jeyo screwed them all up when using the program to back them up. (Never got resolved).
C) Can anyone help with the device lock asking for a password I never set up? (Yep, never got resolved).
If you would like to direct me to RELEVANT threads that answer these questions, I'll be more than happy to thank you for it, but until then at least you did get one thing right about your post, that being what it was worth.

Don't know if you've tried this, but.
I had the same issue. After installing one of JJ's ROMs, I couldn't get WMDC to recognize the new build. Broke all partnerships, nothing helped.
I then completely uninstalled WMDC and rebooted. I then went back to MS and grabbed WMDC again. It installed, I plugged in the TyTN and crossed my fingers.
The drivers re-installed and everything is good in the world now.
Also, Mr. Vanx's guide for downgrading drivers is not necessary for the HTC official or at least the last three builds of Black. I can't speak for any other RUU's, but the latest completely work with Vista (Ultimate & Enterprise, at least).
Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the effort, silverfox, and the tone. Unfortunately I've tried that a couple of times, and it still goes along merrily installing the wrong driver. Does anyone how I could manually select the "HTC USB SYNC" driver? Not even sure where it's located. Checked under system32/drivers but it's not in there.

Nevermind...

Really? Someone else might help you but, you are apparently so smart, I doubt it. Good luck Richard-head.

This worked for me
Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

idiot noob in need.

Hi All,
I'm new to this and have to admit I'm struggling.
I've recently updated my O2 XDA iis to the windows mobile 6.5 i found on this website. It worked fine for a week and I installed some cabs that came with it. For some reason now, every time i connect to wifi, applications that use the net close immediately without notice and more importantly activesync no longer wants to connect.
Can anybody offer any advice on how to proceed?
I was thinking about formatting is all and reflashing it with the rom again but it wont connect without activesync

Do you received any error when you're connecting your BA to your PC? Did you check the connection? The cables? The firewall? Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428030 and ask there since your question is related to that ROM. Don't just open a new one, you know...to make our forum clean. Look 48 members already look at your thread but no one dares to reply. Go to that thread and maybe read everything. Maybe your question has an answer already. Cheers man.

Villain 3.2 Hero ROM, JAVA Issues

I can not get my bank java application to either send sms or connect to internet for activation or transaction. Pls help.

Lol..
Edit; Removed this post. I do apologize, acting before thinking seldom brings good things. Might have been smart to check out your profile first, you are so right. The tallest man is the one who admits his errors. Have a nice day

I think he just believes there to be an error with "java" with this rom.
he is not asking us to do anything other than tell him how to fix the java.
Firstly you should not have made a new thread, should have asked it in the Rom thread where people are more likely to help.
Secondly java is working fine in 3.2
Did you install 3.2 after a wipe or straight from 3.1? if so that might be your problem

Thank you Lennyuk. That was exactly my problem. I actually installed 3.2 straight from a stock rom and while the java was okay as in the program runs, I was unable to get it to activate (needs and sms or gprs for that). It just stays there for ever either sending a message or connecting with no result.
My suspicion is that there is a permission issue or something.
And I have made a post in the main thread, but it appeared buried in the issue of MMS etc.
As for my dull friend who equates every Nigerian to a scammer, I advice that you look well sometimes before you leap. You can check my profile on this board, I have been here for a long time. Pls watch what you say to people, leaping at people like an alsatian dog on community forums like this does not portray you as civilized.

You may be right with the permission issues there, as for a fix I am not so sure. maybe you should try asking in the main forum again now as the mms issues have gone away.

Thanks, I have done it. But I will be glad if people who are experts in this can please check and advice me. Thanks

Try this:
Delete the "java" folder on your sdcard (NOTICE! You'll lose every java program installed already). Then reinstall them again. These actions may will bring them back to life. Make sure you can reinstall them before doing so.
BTW, Make sure your mms and internet connection work with other programs such as htc mail, original mms progam and etc... If they're simply not working, you may need to ask your provider about how to set them up.

Congratulations on bumping a thread from 7th March. This is a thread regarding the HTC Hero, which is an Android phone, and this is an ancient version of a ROM.
Please take your query elsewhere on xda where you may find an answer for your device.
