Well I was one of those brave souls who decided to buy Vista and give it a whirl. Since this site isn't about Vista all I'll say is it's a pretty decent OS. Anyway I installed vista, installed Office 2007, and then installed Windows Mobile Device Center.
When i connected my wizard, running WM6, Vista found it and installed the drivers. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then opened and I set up the device. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then started to sync and it crashed. It gets through about 60 contacts and crashes everytime, after reboots and all.
I've tried this with Office 2007 and Office 2003, I've tried this with 3 different ROMs, and I have turned off and on the advanced networking functionality. Everytime it crashes!
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Can someone please tell me how I can sync my phone with Vista? Better yet, can someone please tell me how Microsoft has released a brand spanking new OS and their software to sync mobile users is still in a f'ing beta for RC1?!?!?!?!? Or maybe even when the final copy of Windows Mobile Device Center is to be expected?
Thanks.
i have no problems try to uninstall the WMDC and then reinstall it. I had the same problem once but then uninstalled it and reinstalled it an the poblem was gone no more hangings the only thing that doesnot work is the syncronisation with vistas media player it doesnot show the storage card in the phone but all other things work perfectly.
Uniinstall and then reinstall WMDC. When u go to Controlpanel >>> uniinstall programs>>>> u can see 2 programs of WMDC installed uninstall both of them and the reinstall the WMDC this will solve the problems u have.
Or try different USB places front or back side of the PC if the USB cable is at the back side of PC try to put it in front side if your PC have front side usb connection may be that helps if not then do the uninstall and reinstall thing i said above.
I have Vista Ultimate, had a slight problem syncing with Outlook, but then I dl a the device centre update, and now it works fine
Thanks, I'll try that when I get home tonight. Hopefully that works.
Has anybody heard anything about when the final release might be comming out?
That didn't work but Microsoft released a newer version, that works perfectly, that I posted links to in the main Wizard forum that can be found at the link below.

After a hard reset on the TyTn my computer is no longer detecting it when I connect the phone to USB cable. The computer makes a sound when I connect it, but Windows Mobile Device Centrer say that TyTn II is not connected, and it does not show up in My Computer eather.
I've tryed to delete the partnership and reconnect the phone, but nothing happens.
Can anyone help me please! Now I cant install any of my programs og transfer files between the computer and the pocket pc/phone.
Try this:
tap Start > Settings > Connections.
tap USB to computer.
Uncheck the Enable advanced network functionality box

I uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Centrer and then tryed the tip you described here. At first it looked ok, my computer detected the device and installed the drivers and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Centrer.
But my device is still not showing up in Windows Mobile Device Centrer or My Computer
Check your personal firewall settings and open the ports MS asks you to at the Windows Mobile home/support page...
Go into task manager & see if Activesync is running. I have the same problem with my tilt & if I kill activesync then reattach it takes a moment the first time, but then it works.
Make sure you are running the latest version of WMDC. I absolutely could not get WMDC to work with my HTC Wizard for months. After MS came out with an updated version of WMDC (around June, I think) it started working fine.
If you absolutely can't get it to work, consider using emoze for over the air syncing of cal, contacts, mail, etc. (or an on-line exchange account.) I had to do that for a few months until I got it to work. Emoze has the advantage of being free. Unfortunately, neither will allow file syncronization, tho.
There is no activesync running.
And everything was working just fine before my device went "mental" and I had to hard reset. So before the hard reset I could use WMDC on this computer, transfer files and run active sync. But now I cant.
I also got an online exchange account so I can sync calender and contacts. But I want to be albe to transfer files to my computer and install new software.
My WMDC version is: 6.1.6965
Some more info about the computer may help. For instance, I take it from your usage fo Windows Mobile Device Center that you are running Vista. In any case, since the problem is with the computer and not the Kaiser, I would see if the manufacturer would provide some support.
Yes, im running Vista and I buildt the PC my self.
But Im not sure its realy the PC that is the problem, because I made the changes (Hard Reset) to the device and thats what caused the problem.
Anyway, I was hoping for some way to debug/troubleshoot this problem.
I am having the same problem. I sync to any one of 8 computers at work and one at home. Work runs XP PRO and Home VISTA Ultimate x64 all worked fine untill this week. I have not made any changes since the last sync, the computers know it's hooked up due to activesync opening and trying to connect when I plug in via USB. But it never connects. I want to flash to Dutty's newest ROM but can't connect. I sync all contacts and e-mail wirelessly but need the computer to flash (I do not have a sd card yet) Any idead would be great! I have tried the ideas listed above but no joy. I have not hard reset the device as of yet ( I need some things off of it first)

BUMP
I really need help with this!!! I'm pulling my hair out!
Did any of you that had this problem find a solution? I have the exact same issue except a hard reset will fix it for a while, and then the problem will reoccur a few months later. No software has been added during the time frame. Very annoying.
i've got just the same problem! plaese help us!

I just installed the Touch It 4.4 ROM on my T-Mobile Wing, installation went smooth, even with the HardSPL.
Everything is running fine on my phone but theirs one problem it doesnt sync!
Whenever I connect it to my computer my phone shows that its charging but does not come up with the sync box.

this is a issue that has been covered so many times I wish I had a dollar for each time....
Its NOT rom related
Its activesync related
try following;
1. Delete older profiles
2. or unistall activesync, and reinstall (Covered also in Activesync HELP)
Sorry if it has been covered but I looked for hours and could not find an answer.
I have no older profiles installed I deleted them all.
I will try to uninstall Windows Mobile Center and reinstall it.
I had the same problem...my fix was to do a window's update with the phone connected. There is a specific update for usb sync pda/phones. I have no problems now.
my wing also does not sync,I can browse my phone and active sync shows it's connected but when I try to sync nothing happens. im running 4.10 pdaviet's rom. this has been the best rom for me so far so I would feally like to find a fix for it. need help please !!! I really like this rom but I can't find a fix !.
allright..
do following
Uninstall activesync/mobile center
go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...roductID=7C1FA894-B2C5-41BE-8D97-E145DD2A883B and download either activesync 4.5 for XP users or the latest MobileCenter for Vista users
then install it (be sure your device is NOT connected to your computer while installing new version) then connect your device, follow instructions (hopefully your drivers will be updated and so on)
good luck
Not to step on your toes itje
But I've experienced this problem more than once and the fix for Vista is to let the phone download the driver initially and then do a windows update while the phone is STILL plugged in...there is another driver that Vista has to install. I'm pretty confident on this one.
He is running vista
The specific update that will pop up in windows update will be Microsoft Corporation - Networking - Smartphone USB Sync. Window's update WILL NOT detect this update unless the device is plugged up.

if it works, it works. Had this problem myself a few times, and I just present the sollution that works for me, if there is other ways that is "better"...great
Tried 4.5
Still no luck. Ive uninstalled and tried from the site and my OEM disk. Any other ideas?
I uninstalled and reinstalled everything worked fine for me.
I was using Windows Mobile Device Center
Still no dice
itje any other ideas? Not a big deal is I cant get it to sync. I never used it anyways. Im still getting a connection and a charge. Active sync is just not showing any connection. Anyone know where to get a Hard SPL OEM ROM? I love the new touch, no mem leaks, plenty of storage, Doubt that Ill be changing till itje comes out with his next project.

Hi all,
I have a problem with the Manager Comm :
when I push the button, the program runs(ShagCtrl) but when I push the buttons to activate/deactivate the wireless/bluetooth interface, seems that there is no comunication with the hardware side.
The icon says that the interface is activated but it's not!
On Linux the wifi/BT periferals work perfectly (Thanks again Pof!)
Anyone knows the reason for this problem?
Hi Guys
I seem to have the same problem as you. Vista SP1 totaly distroys your connections and I had to reinstall vista. FN+F3+F4 allows you to do this.
I also ound that the com manager stops working as mentioned by others and even a hard or soft rest does not work. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417268 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421104 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421729
I am searching the threads in the hope of someone posting a solution. I an begining to think that a flashed rom or liberated version may be the solution. If anyone one has any ideas, I would like to hear them
Best regards.
Guys, maybe it's SP1 also causing problem but mine WLAN and BT became suddenly unavailable still with no SP1 installed and having all automatic updates OFF. I just hard reset Vista, gone thru all the installations and had WLAN and BT running fine for 2-3 weeks. It simply stopped working one day (recent HTC drivers were not installed anyway).
Afterwards I've installed all hot fixes from automatic updates, all HTC new drivers dated October 2008 but didn't help. MArvell WLAN drivers are installed fine but device cannot start with error code 10 in Device Manager.
Now installing SP1, will see...
One more thing, ShagCtr freezes when I try do enable either WLAN or BT and must be forced shut down.
SP1 keep installing... for last 1hr /
need to wait
Hi all,
I've had my Shift for a few weeks now, and have tried a few of the methods described here and in other forums to update from the HTC supplied Windows Vista to Windows 7.
I've consistently hit the problem that Shift Control Center (ShagCtrl.exe) crashes once I upgrade beyond a certain point, no matter which upgrade route I choose. I really want to have ShagCtrl to have control of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB etc. But I also really want to have Windows 7!
I've tried starting with an absolutely standard Vista as supplied by HTC. This is a pretty nice implementation of Vista, (as far as Vista can be nice!) and everything works as expected, with ShagCtrl available and working.
I've also tried taking a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate onto a freshly formatted disk and installing all the drivers and programs as described.
Going the update route, everything (and in particular ShagCtrl) works until I apply the Vista SP1 update. At this point, ShagCtrl crashes with the message "ShagCtrl.exe has stopped responding. Click OK to search for a solution or...".Of course, no solution is offered!
If I go the fresh install of Windows 7 route, something similar happens. As soon as I install ShagCtrl and restart, ShagCtrl crashes in exactly the same way. I've tried running ShagCtrl.exe in Vista compatibility mode – still no go.
From comments here, it seems that some folks have a working Windows 7 with a working Shift Control Center. Can someone please give me a point-by-point description of what they did to achieve this? I really don't want to be stuck with an old version of Vista!
Thanks,
Richard
Hello I've read around on this problem, and I cant find a fix for it. Orange UK HTC Diamond, I don't have the driver CD or anything but it seems it should be stored on the device itself.
I plugged it into my laptop (Vista x32 Home Premium), and first time it comes up with "Uknown device installed. Searching preconfigured drivers." It closes and nothing happens.
I have WMDC 6.1 installed, and have unchecked advanced network functionality.
If I install XP on a VMware virtual machine, will I be able to activesync to that ? (eventually I want to install HardSPL etc.)
Anyway, and hints/tips would be amazing.
vista and diamond
I just got my Diamond this weekend, I was upgrading from an HTC P4000. I was out of town (my home pc is XP) so I decided to sync my contacts over his vista machine (btw can this be done easily pda to pda? bluetooth?) The P4000 had trouble syncing with vista, took a few tries. After outlook at all my stuff from my old phone, I put my Diamond in and... nothing. Didn't see it, but it was charging. I fought Vista for about an hour to get it working, I had to download a windows mobile center patch off of microsoft, and restart the computer+phone.
When I got home to my XP machine, I plugged in and activesync took care of everything.
All the advice I can give you is try uninstalling your phone drivers (in device manager) and try different usb ports, and restart.
heres a link to the MS troubleshooting page I tried:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-troubleshooting.mspx
Hmm I'm starting to think it might be the standard USB connection that I'm using, do I need to use the standard HTC cable?
I've just tried phone on XP, and its bringing up the same error with Activesync 4.5
It is well-known that in vista you have to download, and install, Windows Mobile Device Center to sync any WM device, even PPCs.
So what's the deal?
Hey i'm also having this problem, spent ages trying to get it to work and tried
uninstalling and reinstalling everything but just get a message on the phone saying
install ActiveSync 4.5 on PC even though im using Vista.
Any ideas??

You can't use ActiveSync on VISTA!!! Can't you read the MANUAL or make a search?! Install Windows Mobile Device Center from MSFT site.
For God's sake, use the included CD, it has ALL you need to start synching.
I have x64 Home Premium, and it worked out of the box.
I'm happy for you but the first thing I did was install WMDC6.1, as stated in my first post, and as I said it isn't syncing with activesync on XP either
Hi, I have install windows 7 rc , and i cant have my contacts in diamond to sync with outlook. It seems active sync is not compatible with win7 . Is there a solution ? Thanks ,
in win 7 is no active sync... you have to use mobile device center
hi
this works for me on windows 7 you can download it from here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
When you connect your diamond to win7, it will automatically download drivers and mobile device center . To get Outlook is your own responsibility. You probably have a 30 day trial version on one of the disks that followed your phone, but it will still sync after those 30 days.
EDIT: I have no clue wether the trial version works in win7 or not.

Ι downloaded the above. I didnt see nothning to change. I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center and it looks to work ok. I see diamond from the pc as a hard disc, and i can use it. I also have internet to diamond throw the pc. The phone is recognized by the pc as Touch Diamond P3700, and i have the icon of sync sender in taskbar. What I dont have? The one i am interested more.. My contacts to outlook to pc.. I have installed office 2003 to the pc , and i have outlook 2003. There , contacts are empty.
I dint see to Windows Mobile Device Center to have any option to transfer contacts from phone to outlook.. Any help ?
edit... Ok I just solve it. I went mobile device settings-change content sync settings. In contact there a press sync settings ,and there it writes synconize from Pc1 Pc2. Only one was "ticked" I tick and the other , and contacts went to my pc... Very complicated i think..
Hi, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit build 7100. Trying to get my phone to sync, have installed WMDC 6.1 64 bit version, plug my Diamond in and Windows Update fails on trying to install the driver, just get PocketPC USB Sync in Device Manager with a status of "This device cannot start (Code 10)."
Any ideas where I am going wrong on this? Had no issues on Vista 64bit getting it to work, have repeated all the same steps so am scratching my head somewhat.
Edit: Solved it, turns out it was my USB extension lead, tried plugging directly into the computer and it worked perfectly lol

I think I have researched all the treads on this pretty well now & I've tried all the above including rolling back to before I 1st allowed the WDM to install to no avail. I still can't get my Diamond talking to W7 WDM still talks to my old Vista Ult machine though.
Everything looks good the updater downloads drivers then the WDM then the installs happen the device gets found and it sort of knows its a HTC device plugged into a USB port but WDM and Sync Center both don't believe its there.
I've tried resetting the Diamond complete reboots of the computer, I've changed all settings in the PC to USB menu on the Diamond (another thread) and this only changes the Device from Generic Serial to Generic NDIS but still WDM won't connect.
So has anyone got any further suggestions I can't believe its this hard every one else has no probs what might I be doing wrong (I think the fact the device is a Generic Serial not a Diamond might be a hint but I can't prove it)

Stephen Lane,
I have exactly the same problem. Did you found a solution or still facing this problem?
You can use Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. It's free to download by MS.

Thanx alot people! This thread saved my day!
WMDC does not recognize my G1. He detect that there is a unidentified device and searching the driver to web but after a minute it was NOT successfully installed. How come? LOL.
