Hs anyone here successfully synced their WM6 himalaya with Windows Vista over bluetooth?
I am trying to sync my device with Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 in Vista over bluetooth but whenever i try to click on "Connect Via Bluetooth" in ActiveSync found in my device i get following error on my device:
"Cannot communicate with the PC because of the following Remote Networking error (Error 608)
Please reconnect your device if problem persists, restart the device."
I have tried both the roms i.e. helmi_c & c_shehkar's rom but couldnt get to sync my device over bluetooth with Vista. Previously i had a WM5 rom on my device and it synced with Vista flawlessly over bluetooth.
Can anyone help me on this matter???
In the file After_You_Flash.txt you can read:
"Once the device comes to life after hard reset for the first time, goto Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC and check the advance network functionality.
If you dont do this the device shall refuse get conncted to PC via USB."

can you syncing WM6 via BT with WINXP?
It's not working with me too on XP
Well, it was never working for me - on any OS - WindowsMobile wasn't detecting ActiveSync service on my PC via BT

Himalaya WM 5.0 was syncing just fine via BT ActiveSync.
WM 6.0 is not (yet).
Sascha
I cant even sync it using my USB cradle eventhough i have tried what was written in after_you_flash.txt. I am using Vista and is WMDC 6.1 is installed on Vista which is supposed to work with WM6. The problem is when i connect it thru USB, Vista fails to install a proper driver for it.

utak3r the problem is that i cant do that since i am a WPF developer and need Vista for it. I kno WPF applications are possible on XP too but we as developers look forward to next-gen technologies.
All i wish is that our masters here somehow get this thing to work over bluetooth.. I wish them best of luck!!

There Might be a solution..Only if u have XP installed on 1 of the partition..u can search the drivers in that partition
i can sync just fine with bt over vista using wm6...just had to make a new outgoing serial port on the ppc.
Using microsoft stack on both devices.
Syncing BT with Vista and WMDC
Have a look at this link. Its for WM5 but I used it with WM6 successfully.

Good luck
conecting ppc (wm6) to vista via BT solution
A few months ago, I posted on some forums this solution of my own, that enables conection vista pc and wm6 ppc via BT:
OW TO CONNECT WMDC AND PPC ON VISTA
1.-run bt on your pc
2.-run bt on your ppc
3.-bond your pc and ppc via bt, that will require password on both devices
4.-once connected, your pc will show some services your ppc is offering: activesync, voice gateway, obex, etc. and will allow you to configure some of them. you can see that because under each configurable service there is a button named configure. your pc assings by default one specific com port to activesync service, that may vary depending on free com ports available on your pc. you can see the assigned port clicking on configuration button. on the new window, you can see COM PORT, and one number. For our purposes, let´s suppose it is COM5
5.-run wmdc software, modify connections and mark on "allow bluetooth connection", which is not marked by default. close wmdc.
6.-old activesync program allows to choice com port to connect to. wmdc does not. it must be set modifing windows vista registry. so, run regedit and look for the key HKLM\software\microsoft\windows ce services\serial port. this key has usually the value "bluetooth" (without quotes). well, modify it, delete bluetooth and write COM5. (or any other com port your pc has assigned to activesync). notice that we are modifing SERIAL PORT, that means wmdc uses this service to connect.
7.-close regedit and reboot pc in order to allow changes in the registry.
8.-run again bt on both devices.
9.- run "add new bluetooth devices" on your pc. it will show again your ppc and services it provides, including activesync. configure again activesync service, and check out com port is still the same as before. in this configuration window, you will notice you can modify the NAME of the service, that is "activesync" (without quotes). well, change it, and write Serial Port.
10.-run again wmdc and it will connect to your ppc
what have we done?
1.-activesync ppc service is connected to pc using COM5
2.-wmdc is using serial port on COM5
3.-we change the name of activesync ppc service to serial port service
4.-both running on com5.
I'm trying to get my phone to connect to it...in any way...I used to be able to sync my phone (AT&T Tilt) via bluetooth, but now when I try, the phone gets user authorization, etc., (meaning IT can do what IT needs to), but WMDC does nothing.
Then, the sync fails, and the device says, "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer."
The problem...Windows Vista doesn't use ActiveSync of course...it uses the windows mobile device center.
When I try to connect via usb, then on the computer, a dealie pops up in the lower right for "safely removing hardware". It has HTC USB sync listed. My tilt tries to connect via usb, but it fails, saying the same thing, "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync...blah blah blah."
I don't even know why this is happening like this...I normally don't sync too often (since I normally use my phone alone), but I was trying to get a new radio on my phone to help with another problem (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365270&highlight=call+ended+00:00 )
but I can't even sync anything, so I can't use the tool to get the new radio on.

Put your phone into tri color mode and you will be able to flash.
Power button + Camera button (hold them) press stylus into reset. HOld all 3. Tri-color screen will appear.
have you got the update to the drivers for WMDC, mine didnt work before I downloaded this update, oh and just remember, in windows, if it does work, RESTART fixes a lot of problems!
where would the update for the drivers for WMDC be?
Change the setting in USB to PC, in settings, connection tab. Try it with advanced functionality on.
I've tried it both ways. With advanced functionality ON, then the PC doesn't even recognize the device HTC USB Sync.
With advanced fuctionality OFF, then the pc recognizes HTC USB Sync, Windows Mobile Device Center recognizes nothing, and then activesync fails with the message, "To synchronize, get activesync 4.5 blah blah blah"
I used the device with an XP virtual machine I had, and XP + activesync has no problems seeing the device. However, MICROSOFT OUTLOOK in the XP virtual machine cannot see the device, so I can't correctly sync emails, contacts, tasks, or calendar icons. When I tried, the only thing that happened was that it deleted all of my calendar items (AGAIN!) and then said that "ActiveSync cannot synchronize Email, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes because Outlook is not installed on Windows PC 3. To synchronize, disconnect the device, install and run Outlook, and then reconnect the device and try again."
Outlook IS installed in the XP vmware (windows PC 3)...but it can't see the device for some reason.
I decided in the end that I could go without a new radio. I'll just find a way to fix my problem in a different way

With it "on", its not a USB connection. Whilst it uses the USB lead, it actually creates an RNDIS connection which uses IP to communicate. The device and pc should create a small private IP network. If your device can't even be seen by the Vista PC when advanced is on, then there is something blocking IP traffic, like an over zealous firewall. Try turning the firewall off temporarily. Also try disconnecting the pc from any other network and then plugging the device in.
I assume you have run windows update in Vista to ensure that you have the latest version of WMDC 6.1
With advanced "off", the device is using a traditional USB connection. Try deleting any existing partnerships and try a different USB port.
i have a similar problem however when mobile device center starts up it just gets the standard stopped running vista message and trys to restart unsuccessfully!
This may help you out with your problems however cant seem to resolve mine

That's an interesting way of referring to it...the thing is...I currently do have my firewall off...would a router (dorm or home) block this? Because I have NEVER gotten advanced network fuctionality to ever work--when I was at home, my dad had a router set up and when I'm on campus, the dorm has a router on.
Even without it connected to any other network, it does not work. And I am using the latest WMDC 6.1 but still, it doesn't work.
The strange thing is...it works with ActiveSync in a Windows XP vmware machine (partially...it won't allow me to use outlook)...
Deleting existing partnerships deletes more stuff from my device deletes more stuff (my contacts and calendar are gone) -_-. Deleting existing partnerships on comp doesn't help..

What I did from there was I uninstalled the drviers that correspond with the HTC Sync USB and the advanced network functionality (it's near the bottom of the link), and then I restarted again...now I seem able to sync...
i was connecting fine until i enabled vistas firewall and then it wont stop syncing. if i disable it, it will sync. i went through the exceptions list to allow sync but it still wont sync anyone know a fix?
Mobile Device Centre was working fine for me until about a week ago. Then it just stopped working ! My device was ok because it would sync in XP SP3 without any problems, but not in Vista. I tried repairinng, uninstalling, reinstalling without any success, I tried Advance Network Functionality and still no luck. I also tried disabling my firewall and trying again and still NO !!!. After searching the internet and trying the above, I nearly gave up until I decided to do the following :-
REMOVE ALL drivers related to the device i.e MS RNDIS adapter from network adapters in device manager AND the HTC USB drivers which are created when the device is connected while the Advance Network Functionality button is unchecked on your device (within settings -> Connections -> USB to PC )
UNINSTALL windows mobile device centre
DISABLE your firewall
INSTALL windows mobile device centre 6.1 (downloaded from MS)
connect your device - ensure the Advance Network Functionality button is checked
CONNECT device, let the drivers load and it should be ready to sync
ENABLE your firewall
The above method was the way it worked for me after trying numerous methods. Looking back, I believe my problem started when I unchecked Advance Network Functionality for some reason !

I don't think it's possible to get Advanced Networking Functionality to work with a Bluetooth Connection, only through USB. Even then it has to be a high quality USB port it's plugged into. My case is a good example in that I couldn't enable Advanced Networking Functionality or Activesync simply wouldn't connect. Since I was having unreliable connections from my VIA chipset old as the hills USB 1.1 motherboard ports, I installed a quality NEC chipset USB 2.0 Hi-Speed PCI adapter card and now on the same machine I can run USB Activesync connections with either option perfectly well and it stays connected until I unplug the phone. How are your USB ports?
uninstall active sync then reinstall. that is what worked for me.
Hi all,
My HTC diamond that used to sync with active sync on win xp wont connect to my visat home premium laptop.
I've tried tweaking the firewall (even turning it off) and still no luck - both norton and windows firewall
Tried the dvmgmt.msc things too with no luck
Any other ideas??
anyone?
I found that problem too.
Go to task manager and close instances of mobile device centre and Windows Media as this seems to play havoc with USB sync.
Take your device off of the USB cable, fire up a fresh instance of WINMO device centre and it should detect it (after selecting 'ActiveSync' on your device).
Good luck
Jamie
what I have had to do is delete the diamond profile with out the diamond connected. restart your diamond then reconnect. I think it is a problem between activesynch in xp and winmo in vista. But I have kaiser which I use for work and I have no problems connecting to activesynch or winmo.. go figure...also if you have tasks selected it won't finish synching for some reason god knows why.......
Worked for me
Try going into the "USB to PC" settings on your phone and unchecking "Advanced Network Functionality". I couldn't connect in vista before disabling that.
Hello,
I've never managed to get my Diamond sync'd with my Vista laptop using a cable but if I use bluetooth then it always seems to connect so if you have bluetooth on your pc then i'd try that and see if it works.
I tried all the usual fixes including those listed above me and none of them worked. Then I read somewhere to uninstall device center go to microsoft and dl the latest version and then install it with the phone connected. That one worked.
How do you delete the profile? will I lose data doing so? same issue with my Touch Pro. uninstalled WMDC re-installed it. re-set all of the TP settings to factory(without restoring). Still doesn't work. Any other ideas?
Dear all,
sorry if this is repost.
i found it quite trouble for me, as my TYTN II suddenly stop syncing with my notebook.
it shown Microsoft ActiveSync can't recognize any port plug to TYTN ii, even if it can't sync with notebook active sync, but the phone still able to charge via USB port, anyone experience this before?
fortunately my Tytn II still able to sync via Bluetooth connection, but NOT via USB port.
Some recommended action that i've run so far:
1. uninstall & re-install microsoft activesync 4.5
2. change usb port
3. change with different notebook with activesync 4.5
4. hard reset my device
5. flash to another ROM via USB
6. etc
after doing all the thing, but the problem still there, only able to sync via Bluetooth connection.
hope anyone could give me a clue here.
thx & rgds,
What OS are you running on your notebook ?
Activsync for Windows XP and earlier
Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista, Wimdows 7
I am using Windows XP SP3 and using Microsoft Active Sync 4.5.0 build 5096
I also have tried into Windows Vista Home premium,
and couple hours ago I've tried to sync my friend O2 and it was successfull syncing with his device, and then I re-tried to sync with mine, but no hope
any clue really appreciate that
Try going to the "USB to PC" settings on your phone (probably under Settings>Connections) and unchecking "Enable faster data synchronization."
hmm, I've tried that before and still no luck,
do you think any possible hardware failure
It's possible that you have a hardware failure. However, that seems unlikely if you can flash using USB and it can connect to those other systems. Two other trivial things to try:
1) Try a different cable
2) Is "Allow USB Connections" checked in File>Connections Settings in ActiveSync? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just covering the bases)

it's okay... i am looking for clue not for arguing
anyway, i've done that
1) already try 3 different cable, the last one i tried is with two devices my tytn ii and my friend O2
2) already done that too, been trying uncheck/check "Allow USB connection" in Microsoft Activesync in my Ms XP SP3 notebook.
btw flashing via SD card is applicable because it's not related with USB port right
regards,
I'm having a very similar problem. I have 2 Kaisers, one factory AT&T ROM WinMobile 6.1 and the other running a cracked 6.5 ROM.
Two computers, one Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a desktop running XP w/SP3 32 bit.
About a month ago all phones stopped syncing to all computers. I just get a "Unrecognized USB device" error on both computers using either phone.
Does Anyone know if MS released a USB driver update that may be causing this? I have tried every possible phone setting listed on the web, uninstalled activesync on XP and nothing seems to work. It really feels like a Windows USB issue to me. Just my gut feeling.
Doug
I have one more stab in the dark. Plug in your phone, open the device manager on your computer. There should be a device category called "Windows CE USB Devices." Expand that category, right click on the device in that category and uninstall it. Unplug your phone and plug it in again. This should reinstall the device driver. I'm guessing that the original drive got corrupted somehow.

I had a similar problem as the original poster, and it turned out to indeed be a hardware problem. The SD-card reader was faulty, and ActiveSync would not recognize the phone while an SD-card was plugged in (Nor would WM5Torage work). Removing and reinstalling drivers did not work either. The SD-card was fine, when tested in a PC reader and my Touch HD, so I figured it had to be the kaiser.
I fixed this *today* by replacing the PCB in the display part of the kaiser. Part costs about $40 (Search for item ID 380187854526 on eBay to see which part)
The disassembly/assembly instructions required are in the service manual, available at a dozen places online.
Hope this helps! (Couldn't post links )
Hi,
I just bought a Bluetooth dongle for my PC. (Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M)
The main reasons for buying this was so I could sync without using one of my very spare USB ports.
Another big reason was that I really want to try SideShow.
So, I hooked the thing up, installed it. Works like a charm for most services (files etc). It just doesn't work for two things: ActiveSync (on the phone)/Windows Device Center (on my PC) and Windows SideShow. Yay.
Could you please help me out?
To summarize:
PC with Vista Home Premium,
Trust Ultra Small Bluetooth 2.1 Usb Adapter 25 M,
HTC S730.
Not working for ActiveSync nor SideShow.
x5x_tim
PS: I installed something called "X86-PC Drivers.cab" I found in some thread. That's supposed to be the drivers for the SideShow service on the PC. (I think I installed them, I did not get an error from Rundll32...)
EDIT: what might be of use: I can't get the devices to pair if I use the PC to initiate that. The PC does not find the phone untill I pair them using to phone to initiate.
I don't know about SideShow but I managed once to ActiveSync my Wings through Bluetooth. Just be sure to remove any security restricition on your Bluetooth settings on your device. Like Secure Connection etc... Also, setup a serial port when you connect with your PC and then, at PC ActiveSync settings, at connection settings -> Allow Connections To One Of The Following (Com 4 or whatever). And then, at ActiveSync on your mobile, connect through Bluetooth. Try it and come again if it doesn't work.
Yes! Thank you. It's syncing as I type. That COM4 did the trick!
In the same way, you can have Internet on your mobile through Bluetooth's activesync connection. It is helpful if you don't have wifi on your mobile.
