So... No idea what's happened, but today I can no longer sync my phone with my Win7 laptop. So far I've deleted the partnership on my phone & in the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC.) Then I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC. The error I'm seeing in the Event Viewer:
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).

I'm at a loss here. I've never had a problem syncing my phone before. I've been syncing it regularly with this laptop & my home pc for months. The only thing I've done lately is install CoPilot8.
I can see the M$ Windows Mobile Remote Adapter show up under 'Network Adapters' in the device manager. Should anything else show up? Any ideas? I've been reading up on this error message for ages now and nothing's working for me. I really don't want to do a hardreset, but I will if I can't find anything else to try.

This is the only thing I've found that might be relevant...according to the posts it seems to be caused by a conflicting driver issue, there's a solution suggested there that seemed to work for some...

Good luck!
I saw that page.. nothing marked in Device Manager. I did remove the phone and the windows mobile remote adapter and reinstalled them both. Device manager updates appropriately when the phone is plugged in, but it's like active sync is broken. On the pc it will search for like 1 second, then go back to Not Connected, and on the phone I just see the into page in Active Sync "To syncronize your device..."

Darn, I had hoped that was one you hadn't stumbled across yet. The only other suggestion I might have is trying different ports on the PC, or a different cable maybe..? Sometimes when I'm using the cheap cable I keep at work for syncing, I have to reseat it a couple of times before ActiveSync will kick in and make the connection.
God I hate windows. I completely removed WMDC and the update to it, then rebooted. Reinstalled and now it's syncing. Good lord.
ETA: Is there a unix-based tool for syncing WM phones? I am seriously considering reloading this stupid laptop with Ubuntu.
Well hell. It got stuck while syncing, so I stopped it, disconnected and reconnected my phone, and now it's back to not connecting anymore. Grrr.
If its only happening on your work pc...
try disabling firewall and connectiong it... if that works... you will have to open some ports for mobile center(or activesync) to work with firewall turned on...
I didn't have a firewall on it, but god only know what the Enterprise McAfee was doing. I gave up on that stupid Windows load. Installed Ubuntu. It's sad when a non-windows OS is more reliable at talking to my Windows phone than Windows7.
hmm yea thats sad...
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.

Glad it worked out.
To be honest the thing that lets my Galaxy S down is this awful Kies software...
is terribly hit and miss, 99% cant connect with my 64Bit windows 7 machine, luckily I have a 32 bit desktop and it seems better at connecting with this, but it crashes out, is clunky and slow....please tell me there is an alternative.
I thought I hated Itunes, but this it terrible
itunes is not that bad as you get used to it...
but KIES? well... KIES is just.. stupid.. I don't even install it, just the drivers.
Don't like it, dont use it.
I use Nokia's Ovi music player for music management.
How else can you sync with your outlook then ?
You can't really compare Kies with iTunes. I dislike iTunes, but applaud Apple in creating a program that just holds everything together. So much that none of their devices will work without connecting to it (imagine if Kies worked like that? The horror!).
Kies on the other hand is an annoying program. I actually liked it, well designed, it's got those nifty widgets, BUT it does not work most of the time.
I'm on Win7 64bit as well and it is so annoying.

sync over broadband
I use gsyncit on my PC to sync Outlook with Google calendar and contacts and let the phone sync via the cloud.
but the great thing is you don't need Kies,
you can easily drag and drop music/video files to your phone
and your email/contacts/calendar syncs wirelessly to & from Gmail
and if you need to flash the phone, there is always Odin and Heimdall

I don´t understand what the guys from Samsung where thinking about the development of Kies. For me it is completely useless. To sync my contacts and calender i have Gmail and never had any problem with it.
But with Kies... i have it installed on Windows 7 64Bit and to get it connected i have to restart the phone or the computer, otherwise it won´t do anything.
So yesterday i tried to set it up in Vista 32Bit and there it even wasn´t possible to install. No error or something showed up. Just hanged when it copied the files... Don´t remember any Setup that hanged on my computer. But well, i just don´t use it. Mass storage is all i need.
I don't think I've used Kies for anything so far, can't stand the thing. It used to start up whenever I plugged my phone in even when I told it not to, got it sorted eventually though.

Second this
and also agree with the topic.
Kies is really worse than Itune. luckily we have a very good solution "just don't use it "
Kies is a total POS software. Dont bother with it at all.
Yea compare to nokia pc suit. kies is just simply crap!
i use iTuneMyWalkman with iTunes. It automatically syncs the playlist you want or all the library with your phone when its connected, its free and works perfectly.. just in case, i use a macbook
I believe all original syncing software from all brands is crap.
The basic difference here with itunes (in my opinion) is that without itunes you can do nothing to iphone.
for kies on the other hand I cannot find any other use than updating your phone's firmware. (If you want to update to the original firmware.)
Syncing can be done with gmail from within the phone.
I don't seem to have a problem with it. It connects to my phone just fine (Windows 7 64b) and it has some nice little features.
Just make sure that you delete all USB drivers and phone drivers on your computer and once you do that, reinstall all drivers by connecting your phone while it's booting, starting up, and while fully on. Once all those are ok, download some Samsung Galaxy S drivers online.
Works flawlessly for me.
use Android Manager instad of KIES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765081
if it's just the music and media management you're rambling about, forget KIES.
WMP12 works wonders with music sync. I've set it to sync my playlists automatically when I connect my Galaxy. The best part? Playlists are copied over to the phone as well. You can use WMP12 to manage photos and videos to, but I really only use it for music.
Videos? Simple - drag and drop.
Contacts and calendar? Set it it to sync automatically to you Gmail account.
Well...
Nokia PC suit was replaced with OVI suite... that simply blows...
iTunes is simply a memory leak application (does it do anything else?)
So besides nokia pc suite I find Kies decent...
Kies is crap... Then again, all of the 'official' phone software I've seen is crap (sony ericsson, nokia). Most of it is bloated, slow and just not worth it. iTunes is crap as well, always hated it and prolly always will.
Luckily you don't need Kies, you can transfer files etc just fine without it.
I really dont know why for the last two years Microsoft hasn't done anything for this very known issue. It seems they want all of us to use Microsoft My Phone service and put all out private data online.
The problem I am having is the following:
I am plugging my phone to the usb port using the original cable and if it detects the phone it will start syncing ...but this syncing will not actually start. The progress bar does not move.
Initially and for a couple of times after it synced fine. But then I got into this situation.
Of course like most of you know if I delete the partnership and make a new one it will work. But then what is the meaning of collecting data on TP2 when they will be deleted after making a new partnership....so there is no purpose of trying to sync if I have to make new partnerships once a while.
I have been trying aaaaalllllll the solutions mentioned in dozens of forums
ie:
unchecked faster data synchronization
checked if the right services are running
followed this procedure also [TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers
Checked my firewall settings, also disabled the firewall during sync.
disable third party firewalls and anti viruses
I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, WMDC latest, and WM 6.5
I wish I could be proven wrong but I am sure that there is no solution to this problem. A 400euro operating system and a 500euro phone can not exchange information.
I have exactly the same problem (TP2 but running x64 windows 7). Did you manage to find any solution? Anybody?

Uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization."
It works just fine for me on W7 Pro x64.
If that still isn't working, consider switching to a different sync option, like BirdieSync and Thunderbird. That's what I use normally. The only caveat is that you need to set up a new partnership each time you flash, which is the same on WMDC anyway, so not really a big deal.

Sorry, I don't have a solution. I'm writing to say that I sync mine all the time with Win7 Pro x64, no problems at all.
I had a problem one time, and deleting the partnerships on the phone fixed it. Note that I do not sync emails or files; I don't use outlook for emails, only contacts and scheduling.
Have you tried doing a hard reset and then syncing the phone before you install anything else on the device?
I switched to 32 bit windows 7 and everything is ok now.
the only sync I can not do is through bluetooth.
the phone is freezing

Perhaps the device itself is failing, then. If you are only able to sync with bluetooth, then it would seem likely that you would have a faulty USB port on the phone. Have you tried doing this with the stock ROM?
Win 7 64 bit
HTC TP2
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
I was just about to ask a question about the same problem, but I see a thread is started already.
I just built a new machine, and when I first plugged the phone in, everything worked great. WMDC recognized the phone, loaded the drivers, and it sync'ed with Outlook 10. Everyone was happy.
The next day when I plugged my phone in, Windows Mobile Device Center does not even recognize that the phone is plugged in. WMDC shows not connected, I don't get the little "ding" when it connects/disconnects, and it doesn't show up as anything under "computer" when I click on the libraries folder.
The ONLY solution I have found is doing a soft reset on my phone. When I do that, it sync's. But as soon as I disconnect it and reconnect it, I get the problem as described above.
I haven't done ANYTHING to try to troubleshoot this problem other than uncheck that box on the phone that allows the phone to fast sync. Any advice appreciated.

Yes I have tried that Im using Vista. Thing is the HTC do come up with progress bar on the phone. Way to weird and frustrating.
Now everthing is connected and its only when the tri colors on phone comes everthing disconnects then the HTC emblem is there showing progress as zero.
When I'm in the WMDC and setting up a partnership should I check any of the options.

Like many others I have not been able to sync my HTC TP2 with my new Windows 7 64 bit computer.
I found a fix that worked for me. After many attempts to sync my phone and WMDC showing me it is connected, but at the same time show an error icon with no explanation, I thought I would do a manual Windows update to ensure I had all the drivers needed. After going to START> CONTROL PANEL> REVIEW YOUR COMPUTERS STATUS....I noticed I had an message that said there was an update for my Pocket PC. I downloaded it and it was an file called "drvupdate-amd64.exe".
I connected my phone by a usb cable to my laptop and selected RUN on the above file after downloading it to my desktop. It showed a status that was updating a generic driver and one other drive.......then WAMO, WMDC opened and my HTC TP2 showed it was connected and started to Sync. YEHAW!
Does anyone know of any potential fixes for the connection error issue with Zune? Essentially, when I try to connect my Surround via USB, Zune pops up with a notification saying it can't connect to the phone and I need to restart the phone and try again.
I've tried that as well as the Zune-Tuner cert removal that I've seen floating around; however, for some reason when I restart Zune I'm not getting any of the new certs to install and my phone still can't connect to Zune. Any other thoughts? I've seen a few threads saying to do a full format of the PC, although that's a pretty big undertaking so I wasn't sure if there were any other things I could try first.
