First I have to state: I've already searched the web and xda-developers forums. Tried all solutions found, none work.
I don't connect my HTC Touch Pro 2 to my computer (Vista 32bit) often; other than the first few days, when I was downloading a lot of softwares to my device, I don't connect them at all. But the point is I was able to connect to WMDC.
Yesterday I wanted to try out Pocket Diablo, so I had to connect my device in order to install .NET CF 2.0. But I found I can no longer sync:
- Before I connect the device, I can see WMDC's green tray icon
- After I plug in the device (using the cable from HTC), WMDC's tray icon disappeared.
- I checked Device Manager, and found "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" cannot start, error code 10. There was no mobile device listed.
- I tried another USB port, same result. I tried uninstalling all USB hubs and root hubs, let them reinstall, reconnect device, same result.
- With device still plugged in, I uninstalled "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and deleted the driver too. Then I unplugged device, uninstall WMDC driver update and WMDC itself, reboot PC, download WMDC6.1 from Microsoft again, reinstall WMDC, reboot, still no tray icon, and reconnect device with same result.
- I tried the above together with giving Users group full control on the registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Svchost\WindowsMobile", same result.
- If I uncheck "advanced connection" on my device, there is no "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in device manager, but there is a generic mobile device listed. In WMDC it still thinks there is no device connected, and I cannot access the device in Windows Explorer.
- If I connect the device as a disk (under device's USB connection settings), I can access the device through Windows Explorer.
- I even hard-reset my device, still same result.
- I tested my old O2mini, same result.
- I don't recall any big changes on my system since my last successful connection.
- I tested my HTC Touch Pro 2 in my office (Vista 32bit), and it can be connected successfully.
So it seems the problem is in my home computer; the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter (version matches WMDC6.1's version) refuses to work in all cases.
Other than taking the sync cable in my office back home tomorrow, I'm all out of ideas of what to try next.
Can anyone give me a helping hand?
Bump. Please help, I really need to solve this.
- I'm taking the cable in office home, but I highly doubt that is the reason because with the cable at home I can connect as a disk and can charge.
- I notice in office (the successful case), the remote adapter is named "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2". At home (the failure case) there is no #number, just "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter".
Tested and it is not the cable. Cable used to successfully sync in office has same effect at home - Windows Mobile Remote Adapter cannot start, code 10.
I tried enabling WMDC debug log, but there're none - looks like the process failed at the driver stage and WMDC is not even started.
Also, when I have the device connected with the non-functioning driver, it seems to wreck havoc on my real network driver. I often need to reconnect my network connection.
Can anyone help?
It's getting weirder and weirder...
- I reinstalled WMDC for the countless time, and suddenly I am able to connect to O2mini (which does not connect via a network adapter). O2mini shows up in WMDC (can setup a partnership) and explorer. But not HTC TP2.
- If I disable advanced connection on TP2, I can connect TP2 as a Mobile device, but there is no network adapter. WMDC detects no connection, and I cannot view TP2 in explorer.
- I tried connecting O2mini again after TP2's failure, and O2mini cannot connect too - device manager shows no problem, but in WMDC I get nothing but the red stop sign and a simple message: "Error". No entries in event viewer.
And is anyone even reading this thread?
I was having a similar deal. Sync works solid on XP at home, was working but then stopped on 2 laptops with Vista and giving me those error codes.
I did the same things as unistalling mobile center on vista to no avail.
What did work was going onto the device, Start/All Applications/ActiveSync. Then Menu/Options and delete on the laptop PC's.
Now when I sync my vista laptop to the device it shows up as an additional device. I can copy files to it, I'm not sure if it syncs any other info.
The active sync also has an option for connections where you can uncheck "same for all pc's". I didn't try that one, but it might do something.
Update the Driver?

You mean removing the partnerships? I already did that - I had hardreset my TP2 for nothing too.

I tried, but Vista said I already have the latest version (6.1.6965.0). I tried uninstalling (and fill the checkbox to remove the driver) and reinstalling, no difference.
It has to be something not right on my computer's drivers.
I'm going to compare the driver files of my home and office computers and see if there are any difference...
I copied all files related to the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter home, and compared them to mine. They are all identical.
I also tried forcing Device Manager to show non-present devices (by setting two environment variables), removed the related ones and tried again. Same result.
I'm all out of ideas now.
I'm even considering moving up to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit), hoping that will solve my problems.
-- but what? They leave me with a nasty bug and I consider paying them even more? Whiskey, tango, foxtrot?
Awesome, finally i found someone that has (i think) 100% my problem.
Let me ask you this, what is your computer specs? Because this happened to me after i got a new computer >.< .
Mine is
Asus p7p55d LE motherboard
i5 50?
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)
I also have a HTC Touch pro2 (verizon) but i have testing my computer with a Samsung Omnia (verizon) to confirm my problem.
Edit: BTW this is on a Windows 7, just throwing it out there so that people can be even more mind boggled
Asus P7P55D Deluxe
Intel i7-860
2 sticks of Kingston 2Gb
I got my TP2 from Fortress (Hong Kong), they added a bunch of goodies in the ROM, like the radio cab, 1% battery driver, a business card scanner, etc.
You have the same problem on Windows 7? I am going to buy W7 tomorrow, I'm going 64-bit...
If I get the same problem in W7, then well, damn... at least I can connect TP2 as a driver and write data to it. But if I need to install anything from the PC-side, I'll need to rip the cab out of the installer.
holy crap then i think i know why its not working. Maybe its because of the new chipset p55? Doesnt support the drivers? or something

Definitely not.
Plus I have sync'ed successfully before, and my TP2 plus cable can still sync in office, advanced connection on. It's a software problem.
I encountered the exact same error in Windows 7.
The Windows 7 is a fresh install, Windows updated, and installed 64-bit version of WMDC.
Darn.
First, sorry for my very bad english.
I had the same problem ( Error code 10 with Microsoft Mobile Remote Adapter) with p7p55d and Windows7.
It was a trouble with my asus p7p55d.
- I updated my bios to the 0711 version (this version does not appear on AsusUpdate, i found it on www.asus.com)
- I uninstall old Windows Mobile remote adapter
- I uninstall WMDC
- reboot
- simply plug my phone and let windows update do the job. This time it was good for me...
I have the same issue with ASUS P7P55D PRO and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, even with BIOS 0711. I tried all the ideas, nothing helps.
The same problem for me.
Windows 7 64bit,
Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Mainboard
I report great success with this problem!
Like suggested from a previous poster, i did update my bios to 605 (this is for p7p55d LE). But i noticed one thing, the setting for Plug and Play was set to that the bios handled it. I changed to so the that OS (?) handled it instead and tried everything again.
Happy to say (after some extra problems that does not pertain to this error) i finally got it to work. Hope my experience help others.
Encountered a similar issue yesterday.
WMDC could not sync. Although when selected as a disk drive, it connects fine.
What fixed it for me was to disable this setting in the device: Settings/connections/usb to pc/enable faster data synchronization.
Exit out, no reset required.
Good luck.
I have the same problem since my new gigabyte p55-ud5
i have windows 7 Ultimate. my htc diamond work fine for one week, then it stoped sync.
i think its somthing with the memory....
i tried to change the speed on my corsair DHX 2GB from 1600Mhz to 1333 and it worked for couple of days.
then it stoped sync.
tried to add voltage in bios but no good.
updated the bios - then it only worked with memory speed 1333 or 1066.
i shutdown my computer only once in a week.
then it started again. now no matter what i do - no SYNC.
i searched for this error alot and the common hardware is:
P55 + vista/win7 + HTC.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firm-up!
i have a good news!
Finally i got it after firm-up the bios.
Asus p7p55d turned out to got a problem installing 'Windows ... Adapter'

Alright, so I'm trying to get my EVO to connect to Windows 7 64-bit in order to try out the Bluetooth tethering (via android-wifi-tether) and FTP server. I can connect the phone via bluetooth to my laptop, but as soon as I do, it just disconnects. I can't get them to reconnect (either from Windows or EVO). Windows shows no services, hardware, or anything.
Do I need a special driver or app for Windows? Some hidden setting in the EVO? A known bug?
And please refrain from super-obvious things, I've updated the driver for my bluetooth adapter, I've Googled around, and tested this on a Windows XP netbook, it paired and could transfer a file using OBEX just fine.
I am having this same problem. Have you been able to find any solution to this?

I'm having the same issue. I've been scouting forums, have paired and unpaired my EVO and Win7 Home Premium x64 Laptop over and over again, I've paired it from my phone and paired it from the laptop, and no difference.
I'm able to push files from my laptop to my phone but the reverse doesn't work at all. I get several errors which I believe are associated to the fact that my phone's bluetooth icon on the laptop shows no services or bt profiles in the properties box.
Did either of you figure this out?

SOLVED.
I went to my Laptop's manufacturer's website (lenovo) and downloaded the latest BT driver - an update from 2 months ago, although my last update was only 6 months ago.
It loaded all of the services I needed and once I paired my EVO to the computer about 7 different BT services were installed and connected to my EVO.
I can connect my Galaxy Note II to my car and TV's Bluetooth Audio and play music.
However in Windows 8, I can only Pair, but no option on Phone to connect to Audio Device etc like with the tv and car's connections.
There are options to send file on my laptop, but no audio streaming etc as expected.
Please check and assist if possible.
Windows Drivers related?
Hi,
I think it is windows drivers related.
Is anyone aware on drivers for this?
USB drivers are ok, but obviously additional drivers for USB?
Kind Regards
brandt
support please check also
anyone??
I installed Keis air also and no change here :<
Same here.
Got a W8 64b Pro with Intel Bluetooth Driver correctly installed.
When I discover services on my note 2 from my computer it did not show "Audio" (on W7 and Motorola's phone all worked correctly).
Any idea why we did not have the audio service on Note 2 ?
I'm trying to connect my Nexus 7 2013 with android 4.4 (didn't work on the 4.3 either) to my windows 7 PCs (both 64 and 32 bit). The pairing works but Windows won't install a driver. My Windows 7 Device Manager shows Bluetooth Peripheral Device - driver not found. I cannot find a driver anywhere.
I contacted Asus and asked which driver I can use and they replied that no such driver exists:
Dear Mister XXXX,
Thank you for your trust in our technical support.
Concerning the fact that you can’t find the Bluethooth drivers for Windows 7 I regret to inform you that doesn’t exist these types of drivers.
If your desire is to activate a tethering function, I regret to inform that this manipulation will not work, because the system of your product doesn’t support it.
Thank you for your understanding.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards,

Did anyone find a compatible driver? I searched already for a few hours the net and can only find problems with the bluetooth concerning connecting to devices like keyboard.One guy mentioned that bluesoleil provides a software which might work. Has anyone tried that?
My ultimate goal is to use my PC as a Bluetooth speaker for my tablet,

Even I need a way to set this up. Any one knows the solution?
You shouldn't need to install a driver on the desktop or laptop. That defeats the whole purpose of Bluetooth as conveniently connecting two devices.
What kind of Bluetooth adapter do you have on the PC, built-in or an external adapter? Fire it up, turn on Bluetooth on your N7, and pair one to the other.
The dongles driver was all I needed. Then I just paired and connected like I do every Bluetooth device. My understanding is that there is no need for drivers for the tablet, simply for the Bluetooth dongle. After that they just pair the way all Bluetooth pairs.
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a software which will allow me to connect any android phone to a Windows laptop or a PC and then use the Windows device as a phone - to make & receive calls and to send/review/reply to messages.
This is already implemented in a lot of vehicles when you pair the phone and then call/answer through the car's UI. I'm looking for the same thing but using a Windows device (laptop, PC - with Bluetooth) like the car in the example.
Can you advise me about such a software?
Thanks!
Solution found!
I found a solution for Samsung devices and it's called SideSync. It's a Samsung app for the phone and a pc version with Windows and Mac support. It allows you to do everything on the PC which is great.
Since I recently switched from HOX to Galaxy S6 Active it works great for me. Don't know about other phones thought. It may be restricted to Samsung devices only? You can try and advise if it works for you.
