Hello all,
I am in need of some desperate help. I've been trying to connect my MDA Vario to my PC for ages but keep having the same problem.
1. I install Activesync 4.1 which updates the USB drivers I believe.
2. I connect my Vario via the USB cable
3. The Windows bubble states a new Windows Moble device has been found.
4. Windows XP CRASHES and the whole PC just switches off and reboots !!!!! :!:
When Windows loads up again, I can plug and unplug the Vario and the bubble won't appear (even though the sound plays just like when any other USB device is being connected).
If I look at device manager under hardware and under Network adaptors I see a yellow exclaimation mark by the "Windows Mobile-based Device" icon. If I uninstall the driver and reinstall it the same crashing problem occurs once I connect the Vario.
I am running Windows XP with SP2 and Zone Alarm. I have tried various combinations like completely switching off Zone Alarm and uninstalling/reinstalling Activesync but keep getting the same result.
I have also tried the same thing on my brothers PC an get EXACTLY the same thing. I am really at the end of my rope now and don't know what else to do. Can't even find anyone with the same problem on this forum or through Google.
If anyone has experienced this I would really appreacite your help. I can't be the only person in the whole world who has come across this.... can I?
Thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for your replies.

Install AS 4.5
Then connect your phone. Windows will first detect it as a new USB device and then AS will kick in and ask to set up a partnership.
Exactly what is going wrong with yours?
so, here we go:
ive got as 4.5 on my pc and ive recognized also that some other guys (even with older as) could connect to my ppc...
so, what is thie fckn prob??

ok, i connest my ppc to the pc, its asking:
harddrive
or
as,
im typing as and its saying there isnt installed as 4.5
and the pc sais: no connection do u want to start the fixing??
(everythings translated by myself from german, plz ignore the faults)
grtz
i read that if you're using a usb hub it would not connect. you must have the usb cable connect straight to your pc's usb port.
and if nothing works the last solution is to hard reset your pocket pc for a frest start and see if it can connect then.

2nd that. Try another USB port on your PC. Sounds like there's either the driver missing (which should only be the case if you do not have Active Sync installed)
OR
try to disable the "Advanced network functionality". Can be found at 'Settings > Connections > USB to PC'. (Einstellungen, Verbindungen, USB zu PC oder so).
Do you have some sort of firewall software?
like, ZoneAlarm or antivirus with firewall?
disable them or allow the port as trusted and you should be fine
jeah,
thanks for this many posts, but ive got all these probs outa my way, these are all the things ive thought they may disturb the connection... but (im sorry) theyre no solution for my fckn prob, as told, my ppc connects to other pcs(with older as)but not to mine with the newest as ...
so, lets think how to manage it...
try rebooting the host PC or just kill mobsync.exe, wmdc.exe and WmdHost.exe in taskmanger. Then open Sync software again. Works for me.
thats an answer
thx a lot, ill try tomorrow...
all the wa<y, sometimes, when i stay the ppc connected and reboot my pc it works, but dont sync anything, its just "connected"...
ill try and post my answer soon.

I think i have found a solution for you.
Follow:
Start Menu > Configuration > Connections > Click on the icon called "USB à ordinateur" (my phone is in french so i think it will be for you " USB" or "USB to PC")
It's written: Choose the connection type to PC
Select active Sync and uncheck the case just under (it is " activate the feature advanced networking")
And that is !!
TRY and say me..
Hi the diamond is my first PPC as well. I connected it in my PC and was able to use it as a HD. however i am having doubts of just unplugging it afterwards but i did just unplugged it after use.
On my second attempt. Diamond notified me if i will sync or use the HD i accidentally hit sync. but it required a password. I unplugged it and the problem beginned.
There is no Start Menu. so i did the soft reset on the red button below the stylus. It worked now, however the home screen does not have the Large Digital Clock now.
Can someone help me to display it back i have tried to check it in the Today menu. however it is still not appearing.
Pls.. help a new PPC user. Thank you.

Try the search engine before you post, recently there where alot of topics on ActiveSync not working. Anyway, the way your PPC will act when you connect it to a USB port can be setup in setting, connections, usb to pc. Mark Diskdrive or ActiveSync.
There you should also unmark the advanced network functionality. Check it off and try again.
Rgds,
Thanks, by the way do you know how to display the Large Digital Clock again in Home. It was lost after i tried to soft reset my hanging Diamond.
Do you think it will appear again if i do a Hard Reset? Thanks.

A Hard Reset should bring it back to it's default value so yes I see no problem there ...

You want to Issue AT commands to the Phone? Have you tried ATCommander?

Pocket Putty rules
Ive been using it for quite some time to access my old school muds
Now only if there were a GOOD mud/much client for pocket pc lol
I couldn't get Putty to connect to the modem BUT.....
ATcommander is an absolute winner!!!! Thanks for pointing me in the direction of this program Dave and thanks whoever coded it!!
If i can get the GSM Cellid out of the phone whilst it's "in call" with AT commands, I'll be one happy bunny! i'll report back in a bit!!
Cheers
Phil
Right ... I've discovered that it's impossible in Windows Mobile to get the Cell ID whilst the phone is "In Call", either if you try to get it from the RIL or via AT commands (AT+GREG).
I think this is because "hand overs" are done by the phone only reporting the surrounding bcch numbers to the BSC but i'm probably wrong ... Only spent 4 years doing BTS data!!
All sad now .... curse you Bill Gates!!!!
Thanks everyone for your help.
Cheers
Phil

Damn you and your tricky url links..
Ok I have search, I have uninstalled I have re-installed WMDC and nothing, not a sausage.
Anyone got any idea?
I cant get the computer to sync with the phone, the phone will charge from the computer and (oddly) once connected even with WMDC not working I can get to the phone registry using CeRegEditor.
I have tried with the "advanced network features" both on and off, I have used USB connection, you name it I have tried it, I have even hard re-set my handset.
Any and all ideas are greatfully recieved
Do you have an existing partnership ? If so, remove all partnerships and create a new partnership with your device.
Hope this helps !

Covered that with the "Hard Rest" but thanks everything helps
Yes, but always good to remove the partnerships from the pc side. Probably won't do anything to help your cause but it's good practice none the less.
indeed, hadnt actually thought of the pc side, but I just checked I had already done that....I have done so much twidling and installing and uninstalling that I am just about ready to give up :-(
You probably did this already but have gone to the connection settings of you active sync to make sure that "allow USB Connection" is check ?
/me nods
GO to Start>Connections>USB to PC......and make sure "Enable faster data synchronization" is OFF.

I dont have that Option anywhere, in USB to PC I have ActivSync, (enable advanced Network) and Disk drive (faster file transfer)
I really really really have done everything and then some (honest )
How about changing ROM's or getting an XP, lol.

Hello All,
Just put a new 120GB hard drive in the HTC shift and loaded Win7 on it. I went though all the steps on this site (which were very good btw). I got touch screen working, I got internet though the SIM card and the resolution looks good.
The only problem is that device manager shows there is no wifi or bluetooth hardware. The drivers for the wifi seem to install fine, but there are no wifi settings nor is there wifi hardware listed in device manager.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated
Hi!
Did you enable wifi and BT using the Shift Control Center? For wifi I know for sure that it's "disconnected" when disabled. Might be the case for BT, too.
Regards,
Sven

Omg, that's what it was... Unbelieveable. Sven, you have saved my week.
Thank you so much, I can't believe it doesn't even show up in the device manager after a fresh install, I was going crazy for a few days.
"Just put a new 120GB hard drive in the HTC shift"
Could you tell us what make and model you used, and was it a big deal to get it in there?

I'm glad that I could help you. Now have fun with Windows 7. It's much more responsive than Vista even when Aero is enabled (and I love the fast stand by )
