[Q] Wont Sync to PC Help! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I Have windows 7 x64 and all of my phones sync fine except for my g2. Windows shows it as a MTP device and that's it, doesn't show any sd card data or anything else. Where can i find the drives to fix this?

Have you installed HTC sync on your pc ??
your other 2 phones are windows base right ? you need HTC Sync 3.0 for desire z

You can install the pdanet app from the market on your phone then install pdanet on your computer and it will install the driver for you the first time you connect to your computer. I used this method and it worked fine for me.

I don't know what the issue could be then, are you sure you have USB Debugging checked under applications/development.
Does the pdanet app work for you when you connect and try to use the phones data connection?
Also I've seen issues that have been resolved by using the stock usb cable that came with the phone.

Does HTC sync support the North American Tmobile G2? I thought it was only for the EU and APAC version Desire Z.
Found these post over in a Tmobile G2 forum:

HTC SYNC is Missing are you kidding me Magenta. That is right folks no way out of the box to sync with outlook. Google Calendar down for 4 days this week real winner magenta. ++ G2 rocks and is fast. That is awesome as long as I want to share all of my contacts with google. ** Not well thought out or not after business users. ....

No android phone is designed for wired sync. HTC sync is for sense which this phone does not have. If you want wired sync get touchdown. Fantastic outlook integration.

Heres the link:

So Im guessing since HTC sync is sense based and the Tmobile G2 is not this might not work.

i dont want to sync my outlook or anything all of my business stuff is on my HD7. I want to transfer movies, apks, ect. I just want to use it as a disk drive

We understand, the suggestion was to try HTC sync just to get the drivers installed on your computer, but I don't think htc sync will work with the tmobile g2, its sense based.

HTC Sync itself is designed for a Sense ROM, yes. But all we are using HTC Sync for here is the USB drivers, which are identical for the G2 and DZ (since the phones are the same, just running different stock ROMs).

HTC Sync app (< 2.0.28) refusing to sync? See inside for possible solution.

I have been having load of problems getting HTC sync to work reliably on my home and work PCs. Typically it will work for a number of weeks and then will mysteriously refuse to sync, the mobile will complain that it can't find the HTC sync app on my PC. This results in my work calendar getting out of sync for long periods and I miss reminders.
Sometimes it will start working again after I make arbitrary changes, like formatting the SD card or rebooting the device which caused some fairly superstitious behaviour in my use of my HTC Desire.
However, I have found a solution... HTC have released (and subsequently retracted) version 3.0.5372 of the HTC Sync app which has a great number of new features allowing you to sync many more things with your phone like music and photos. It is a much nicer app and sems to have a fix for this issue, this version should be available from their website soon, but until it is you can grab it here:
http://www.mythicblue.com/htc/HTCSync3.0.5372.rar
I got the link from the following forum post for anyone concerned about malware or whatever:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/96/p/4453/20540.aspx
Edit : here is a picture of the new version

Looks a lot better than the older version imo, more detailed options and things to choose from.
Hope it fixes the sync issue like you suggested.
Oh my God. Thank you! It works. Flawlessly. So far anyway...

I should have mentioned that you need to uninstall all older version of HTC Sync and drivers. This might help...?
[edit] My experience so far has been kind of odd. Installing this at work (XP) fixed the sync with 2.0.28 on my PC at home (Vista). I replaced that with v3 anyway, will monitor the situation. Much prefer the new app, very pretty and I like the photo sync.
Why is your HTC Sync interface so pretty? Mine's still the old version, and even after checking HTC's website (asia region), it's still the same old one. I wonder if they will be updating that version you uploaded to their site anytime soon.

does new version support outlook 2010 on win 7 x64?
This new version didn't prompt me to uninstall the old version, so I still get the ol' "Could not create driver manager instance" problem with the old software but the new one works just fine.
Subsequently I removed the old software.
Really appreciate this - after many, many uninstalls and reinstalls of the official (read naff) version which will not even run on my laptop (WinXP SP3), this worked first time. Plus it's waaaay prettier!
I've heckled HTC about the problems with the offical version and they have been zero help
Synch
Old 2.x HTC synch very intermittent. Missed appointments etc. Tried the 3.x above and Vista does not recognise desire at all. I did completely uninstall 2.x and reboot etc.
Shame. This is very frustrating.
David
I am seeing some strange bugs with this... it seems to duplicate repeating appointments in the Windows and phone calendars.
I think perhaps this is why it was retacted. It is still more useful than 2.28 IMO.
Does not recognise device
Hi,
Firstly thanks to the poster for the find and the link.
I uninstalled v2 and then installed v3 and unfortunately it does not work for me. Its a shame as the interface looks very nice!
I inserted and then removed and then inserted the USB cable into my USB port on my Laptop (Dell Studio Win7 64bit) and out of 10 times , it came up with the option to synch maybe twice, the dialogue then dissapeared after about 10 seconds.
Very flaky indeed!
On top of that, version 2 is also really flaky and syncs sometimes and not others, keeps giving me a timeout error.
I read y'day HTC have released the Syncing Software for Wildfire, I might give that a whirl for the Desire if i get a chance.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to get v3 working?
Thanks!
hi, for all they have problems with connecting the Desire via USB to Win 7 x64
Disable USB-Debugging in the Phonesettings and it will work!!

Seems to work OK on my Win 7 x64 with Office 2010 installed.
Still testing some of the features though. I did get a couple of duplicated contacts but that might be because of the category they were in on the phone. Currently syncing some music files across.

Yeah that's right!
I am currently running the version 3.xxx of the HTC synch on Windows 7, and work ok, but you need to disable the USB debug under application - development
does anybody know if the 3.x htc sync works with froyo-desire?
i tried with my froyo-desire... htc sync 3.x didn't connect to it
YES!
I got HTC Sync 3.0.5372 working. I uninstalled ver 2 and the driver and downloaded and installed HTC sync for Wildfire.
Had some problems at first, phone not showing up on my computer. So I started tinkering with the USB debugging and changing between charging and sync. About 4 connects failed, and I was about to check Device Manager to see if the drivers installed correctly. And suddenly my phone popped up. Now I am syncing iTunes playlists, picture and movie folders, bookmarks from Chrome and obviously calendar and contacts. Awesome!
Edit: Scratch that, I spent 40min syncing only to find that nothing made it over to the phone, except for duplicates of calendar entries.

I got it as well and I noticed following difference:
All my music was gone and my phone asked me to synchronise with zune.
Same for my pictures and videos. All was gone; nothing was left on my phone.
//edit: unfortunately I have forgotten to backup my data. Some of the pics I can't get back anymore. What a pity. But honestly, I did not expect that would happen when I just load the updated HTC HUB via Market Place.
What can I say..? Would it be possible to release an update which makes me love my phone more?
P.S. Sorry, I don't like off-topic and since years I am just a member who is following your postings and take benefit of your experience, because I don't like to repeat what 100 other users have said before, but now I am really fed up with this stupid OS on my phone.
Further I thought I could save my first post for something greater than that

It's very unlikely that an app update caused this trouble. I have had these issues several times, but not due to updates (be they simple app or complete OS updates) but due to a hardware failure on my device.
I never heard that update did something like this no matter what OS it is!!!
perhaps the update included tagging location places?
For the first time it shows University at Buffalo as my location
Normally it just showed Buffalo

Not really but i use Picfolio for a couple of cents from the Play Store.
It has the really great advantage that the pictures are permanently downloaded to your phone. On the stock gallery they download every time you use it.

Picasa Album loads up fine on my phone through the Gallery App.
Failed to retrieve account on both my wife and mine one x. When uploading.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I do have the same problem with the stock HTC Gallery. I even had the same issue already with my Sensation XE when I had that phone. I tried to install AOSP Gallery from gapps for Galaxy Nexus but it won't install. We need an ICS AOSP Gallery which will install on the One X.
mine works great, just tap the upper left button and choose picase it works like a charm
I have aan Google Apps account and a gmail account. I have tried to upload a foto to my gmail account and that works well. So there is something with the Gallery app and Picasa plugin that only works with a "gmail.com" account. By the way uploading pictures just work fine. Only HTC phones have that issue. On all other Tablets or phones it also syncs my Google App accounts fine.
Yeah i know my galaxy nexus can see the uploaded image, but my one x can not.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have put the GoogleGallery.apk from my Nexus into the /system/app directory and after reboot I have the AOSP Gallery back and it displays the Picasa webalbums just fine. I did the same with the Browser b.t.w. and the buttom bar is gone for good.
mine works fine, including facebook etc albums...
perhaps try linking with another google account and see if there's issues there?
You might be having the same issue I am having on my Sensation.

Slightly OT but not worthy of a new thread...
Has anyone else noticed that when viewing picasa albums, the thumbnails are pin-sharp when first loading, but after a second or two, they start becoming blurred (I guess as it caches the full images). Why doesn't it keep the nice sharp previews? They look amazing, and then get ruined!
Its happening on my One S too, can't see my Picasa web albums. And I have a Google apps account as well. and I get the same sync error "sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly."
got a way out but paid, install picasa tool, help me a lot.
also got offline sync, so we can view our image offline.
but still a feature that buggy is still annoying, especially on a flag ship phone.
I've had this with all the Sense based ROMs I've flashed. But it works fine on CM9 for me.
With stock HTC Gallery, I can see all my picasa photos but all videos are missing. Any idea?

But it doesn't work, I tapped on the "+" on the side menu of BlinkFeed, then tapped on Facebook, but after the a screen flickering, the facebook won't be added.
Anyone experienced the same?

Just tried similar steps using the Play Store plugin, worked like a charm thanks. The only difference it was step 6 which was to close facebook session on the app, then install the HTC plugin from the play store and login on the facebook and then try to add content to Blinkfeed
