Hello,
Here's a strange question that hopefully someone will know...
I want to charge my phone by USB, but I want to do that while using 3G. Everytime I plug in the USB cable it immediately disables 3G and tries to connect using my computer's internet connection (which is not what I want to do)... I have tried uninstalling ActiveSync to avoid this, but then it doesn't really charge... the orange light turns on for about a minute, then shuts off and it starts draining again.
Any ideas? Is there a setting I can change? Or is there a different driver I should use?
Thanks in advance!
Open Activesync and under 'Connection settings' enable 'Allow wireless connection on the device while connected to the desktop'
Thanks for the tip. Strangely, though, I've done that and am still having the same problem. It doesn't connect to 3G while I'm connected by USB.
Is your unit an AT&T 'Tilt" by any chance??
Yep, the Tilt.

OK, that means any info (fom the rest of the world HTC) probably won't work on your 'Tilt'.
we really need to clarify these ROM diferences!
Hang on guy, this forum is here to sort it!!!
If you don't need to use activesync, you could just disable the connection. Just right-click on activesync on the system tray, and click Connection Settings, and just untick the 'Allow USB connections' option. Then just enable it again when you need to use it.
Or just do what i do, plug the usb in just far enough to give the phone power, but not far enough in to make the computer detect it.
One simple thing... Have you tried using your phone whilst connected to the supplied charger?
You won't have any USB connected internet then!!!
I don't know about 3G but my O2 Steller with Voda sim in still shows an HSDPA connection when charging or/and connected via activesync.

FIRST connect to 3G and onmly AFTER that connect to USB.
hi, i just got my kaiser, i tried pluged the usb cable to my desktop for activesync, some how the little window said no partnership, is there something i need to install or set up, will some one helps, thanks
Presuming that you have Activesync installed & that the problem is that 4.5 can't connect to the Kaiser... this may be the same problem I spent 2 hours on this morning. Go to settings/connections/USB to PC & turn off the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality". That seemed to do the trick for me.
I did a silly the other day and I disabled the "Local Area Connection" created by the PDA when connecting via USB/Activsync. I was annoyed that it was always "connecting." If you disable that connection, you disable USB/Activesync. lol
following the previous poster's instructions, you disable that connection correctly.
thank, linecutter it is working fine now
I did a hard reset. I uninstalled WMDC, but still nothing. The phone charges however, which I dont get. How can i fix this?
This happens to me if I use the USB ports on my monitor. I actually like this sometimes. When I plug into the direct ports (try ones on the backplane) there is now such issues. This is independent of the issue of having an unrecognisd usb devices in devman which may be your problem. If so, remove that item in device manager, unplug the tilt and replug it in.
Also I assume u have active sync enabled.
im using a laptop...
what is the name of the driver in device manager? i tried to do that, but i didnt see anything listed that could be the tilt.
thanks for your reponse btw
i had that happen to me. in connections in the settings menu, under usb to pc, do you have the "enable advanced network functionality" checked? i unchecked that and then my phone synced.

forgot to mention i tried that as well!
make sure windows mobile device connectivity(in services) is on automatic? And you did not mention if you reinstalled WMDC, only uninstalled.
dunno if you've tried this yet, but under vista mine won't sync unless I open the wmdc before I plug in. It's not enough just to have the sync icon in the taskbar, I have click the green ball icon before I plug in. make sure when you open it to allow usb connections in the connection settings. also, try a bluetooth sync to make sure your tilt is playing nice with vista. this should tell you if it's a usb problem or a communication problem.
hope this helps

Hi guys,
i have one very strange problem regarding TYTN II. It is almost new device, barely used but following things are happening:
1. Can not be charged while it is switched ON. In order to charge the battery i have to turn device OFF and than to connect it to the charger. Red light is instantly on and charging.
2. While it is ON and i connect it to the PC using USB cable, it is not recognized from operating system (it is not charging as well, it will charge though if i switch it OFF, same as with charger)
I can connect to my Tytn II using bluetooth and i have some questions.
Can i do HARDSPL 7 while conected to Tytn II via Bluetooth?
I want to upgrade my ROM using upgrade from SD card because obviously upgrade can not be performed using USB cable.
I did hard reset before i put this issue on the forum, can this be caused by the software or only hardware?
Thanks for input.
Jeremija
Check the settings->System->power. check whether the option "When device is turned on,do not charge the battery when connected to the pc" is selected. if so unselect it.
Already did that before first post, that option is not selected.
It is not only charging but TYTN II is not recognized while connected to the computer via usb cable.
this tytn ii is getting charged only and only if it is switched OFF, source can be computer or original charger.
I can get connected via bluetooth for data and my other question is if i can do HARDSPL 7 through bluetooth conection?
thanks.

If its vista system then you probably need to disable the advanced USb functionality and try again.
To your next question, i havent seen anything till now that talks about flashing through bluetooth.
it is happening on both, vista and xp.
that is interesting question actually. Did anyone tried to flash over bluetooth connection, without using cable?
I would certainly prefer to use cable but my tytn ii does not get recognized when connected with the cable.
thanks
What have you done on the PCs to prepare them first?
Have you installed the software in the box on your PC before connecting the USB cable (Activesync 4.5) for Win XP desktops or the latest Windows Mobile Device Centre for Windows Vista? You need these before it'll connect/sync even though it's possible to use bluetooth without it.
Yes, on XP is installed Active Sync 4.5 and on vista i am using is latest Windows mobile device center.
Did you try disabling Advanced Network Functionality on the phone?
So other than trying what was already suggested and disabling Advanced Network functionality on the phone, I think it's time to call your countries HTC Support people.
FWIW whether or not you can use Advanced Networking Functionality is determined by the capability of the USB ports on your desktop PC. When I first got my TyTN II I couldn't get it to connect/sync at all and through trial and experimentation I came across the disable advanced networking workaround. Even with it disabled though I still found my Activesync connections to be unreliable and subject to frequent disconnections. I was using the native (and old as the hills) Via Appolo Pro USB 1.1 ports on my motherboard. I decided to upgrade to USB 2.0 so installed a quality NEC chipped PCI USB 2.0 adapter card. That means I now can use Enhanced Networking Functionality and I have not had an Activesync connection fail since. It was well woth the £9 it cost me for the card.
Everything is clear, thank you very much for your replies and advices. I`ll try to find HTC authorized service and let them judge
Thanks once again.

Is WiFi on?
My Vodafone v1615 (Kaiser) will not connect over USB if WiFi is enabled. No connection problem when WiFi is disabled via Comm Manager. Suggest you try this.
I tried everything i could think of, with or without sim card, with flight mode on, with GSM on but wireless off, name combination i tried it. Gave the phone to the friend who has exactly same model to try with his battery and if that does not work than i`m out of ideas except to send it for service.
I also noticed that if i leave phone on charger and OFF, red light lit for charging.
It can sit on charger for 24 hours but light does not change color to green (Full battery) but remains red.
I believe there is a problem either with battery or some component which is tightly connected to the usb socket/battery.
Will post results on monday/tuesday when i get my phone back.
Thanks everyone for input.

Same Problem
Just so you know i have EXACTLEY the same problem as you Jeremija... i have NO idea what is Causing it have you had any glory yet??
Kindest

Same problem as well
I just got my phone yesterday, and it had the same problem out of the box
it will not charge unless it's completely off, and it will not sync through a usb cable, when i connect it through USB it just keeps restarting, If anyone can come up with a solution short of returning my brand new phone back to the factory I would greatly appreciate it
USB charge & sync problem
What you have with your phones must be a hardware defect. I have the exact same problem with my Tytn II, but I know how it happened -- out of full stupidity. While at work, I connected it to a mini USB plug to charge, however to my surprise I found out that it was not 5v but 12v. I bought two external chargers and two extra batteries and I've been carrying around a pair of charged batteries since then. To be honest, because the phone notoriously drains the batteries very quickly having spare batteries is more practical than pluging it in and waiting for it to charge.
Hi All
I'm at boiling point!
I have a new HTC Touch Diamond locked to the Orange Network and I am trying to unlock the phone. I have got the software to unlock it from this website (thank you very much) however I am having serious problems connecting my device to my laptop. I have installed the Active sync 4.5 software that came with the phone but when I connect my HTC to the laptop it is not registering at all with the computer never mind the Active sync software.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Active sync but to no avail. I have also disabled my antivirus software (AVG Internet Security). This is becoming very frustrating. I am aware that I can purchase an unlock code remotely but even if I do this there is still the problem of establishing a connection with my laptop.
Please if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Cyron_at
Thanks for replying. I should have mentioned that I had tried that. Still no joy. Any other suggestions?
uninstall activesync
install activesync
connect phone
wait 10 mins....
if still not connected, run activesync on ur phone and check connection etc.
have u charged the phone in the car?
Thanks for that. Will try to do that when I get home as my work computer is running on Vista.
No I have not charged it in a car.
I am downloading Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista at the moment. I'm going to see if i can connect here at work. Do you think i should try this or wait until i get home and try it on my XP laptop? Could this cause problems switching between the two?
shouldn't cause a problem.
i asked about charging in the car, as there is a generic problem with HTC phones which means that if they are charged in a car whilst the car is being started a high current can blow the USB circuit, meaning it will charge, but not sync.
worth keeping in mind
Hey Mugggle
Have finished installing Mobile centre for vista and I'm experiencing the same NO SYNC problem. Does you earlier suggestion of leaving the phone connected for 10 min apply to this software?
By the way thanks for the Car tip!
not sure, it usually applies to slower PCs, as it has to load the drivers, which can take a while
make sure you've fully uninstalled active sync from ur laptop, it doesn't like being installed in parallel to mobile device centre
I will try that at home. do you have any suggestions on how to get my phone synced using vista? I;m still having the same problems.

That would be an overvoltage, not current. However, the USB adapter should have some regulation of the input voltage. So I am a bit skeptical, even though it could be a potential risk, no doubt about it.
My situation:
I use ROM 1.93
I charge my HTC Diamond Touch often in the car. It's connected while I start the car.
I had no sync problems when the phone was new.
Sync didn't work at all after some weeks.
File transfer via USB is no problem at all.
Since 1.93 seems buggy with a string of problems I was getting desperate to update the ROM. With no Sync it's not that easy. So I tried a direct motherboard USB port, plus a very short 20cm USB cable - and it worked!
If nothing sync, try that rear PC USB port and get those ultra short USB cable.
Interestingly, sync works again with any port and any cable with ROM 2.03.831.2 WWE
Firewalls & Ports
Make sure you have windows firewall settings all disabled. I had the same issue... fixed when I turned the firewall off.

do you mean this in real?
i just realized that i yesterday did charge the phone in car and today it is not sync at all!
it's a warranty issue?
because the phone is useless
thank you
I'm having the same trouble, My XDA vario 3 (t-mobile in UK) charges via the USB cable only. My home and work PC's are not picking up the connection. Not even to view file contents via explorer.
What can I do to fix this, as I've preformed a hard rest in the hope of solving this problem and now have a blank phone.
I've not charged my phone in a car. But t is around 18 months old.
My computer didn't find my Diamond after I hardreseted it so I had to reinstall Active Sync to get it working again. Strange that this didn't help you.
