AT&T Tilt will not connect to compter - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Good day all.
My 8925 has been working fine, until this morning :-(.
Now, I cannot get it to connect to the computer with the USB cable.
I have tried:
A second USB cable
A soft reset
A Hard Reset
A Hard reset followed by a restore.
I do not get the normal tones when the USB cable is plugged in or unplugged, But I do get a charge light, so I know it is making connection.
I cannot get ActiveSync or Internet Sharing to see the computer from the phone.
Any ideas before I send it in for service.
I have the ATT installed CAB.

Intermittently I get problems with connecting through activesync. Have you tried restarting your computer? Maybe something happened with the windows mobile services.
Try restarting your computer and soft resetting your phone. Once your computer has booted, connect your phone and just give it a minute. I haven't had the time to look into it beyond that. Hopefully that works for you.

i had problems until i connected my USB directly into my computer instead of a hub.
also, maybe try reinstalling active sync.

I am having the same problem, have Dutty's Touchflo Rom on my Tilt. My 8525 connects just fine, but the Tilt does not. I've tried soft reset, hard reset, reinstalled activesync, and nothing seems to work.

Try unchecking Enable advanced network functionality under Start\Settings\Connections\USB To PC

It is not checked, thanks.

Try checking it then
edit: I have had to use this setting in both modes for various ROMs to connect and sync with activesync. If that does not work Hard reset the phone and try both settings again.

Done all that too.
Guess I'll call AT&Ts not so technical dept.

You Ready Heres What happened to me.
First you need a magnyfine glass seriously, looke at the mini usb conector on your tilt. check to see that all of your pins are towards the top of the little plastic conector in the middle. (seems that in the dark while I was doing one of my many soft-resets I accidentaly put the stylus in the usb instead of the reset hole it felt the same becouse the plastic bends and it clicks just like a the reset, then you bend the pins down or towards the middle and they dont contact the inside top of the usb conector) check it out
it took me 3 days many soft and hard reset changing cables until I asked myself, How does that mini usb conector work anyway its still charging whats up?? You guys are gonna laugh but I bet it's the cause of many such problems.
first post little long sorry.

Thanks for the post. I was hoping, but that was nt my issue.

I had a similiar issue when flashing to a different rom. It would connect for a split second and then disconnect from activesync, but still charge the phone. I thought I was screwed until I found a way to reflash without using activesync. I was then able to reflash it back to the ATT rom and haven't had any issues since.
This is what I did (it might work for you). With the usb connected I held down the power button and camera button while doing a soft reset (similiar to how you do a hard reboot). This caused my phone to go into the tri color state for flashing. I then just ran the rom on my PC and it successfully reflashed my Tilt back to the ATT rom.
Regardless I hope you get things sorted out.

I am unsure what you are referring to here. The CD that came with the phone? Or a downloaded program?
How did you get it from the computer to the phone?
Thanks for the reply and I will try it.

Which Windows are you at ? use winXP SP2,disable anti virus if any installed,also disable any firewall even windows own firewall.Disconnect phone from the usb cable and remove any sdcard if any.
Uninstall Active sync,Reboot Pc,open Windows Task Manager--->Processes Tab--->End wescomm.exe process.Reconnect phone via usb cable,get your phone into boot loader mode,check small usb appear a the bottom of bootloader screen and run the ruu...,hope it'll work out.
For Active sync connectivity,reinstall ,make sure no anti virus or firewall is running,connect phone with usb and let it synchronise.
Is your usb cable compatible,does it charge ?,if not,get a new usb cable. secondly, check if your mini usb port of your phone is working or it might be damaged.

Try this, on the 8125 run activesync, if you have partnerships there (IE. if the screed has "windows PC" on it), then go to "menu" on the lower right, then "Options" then select the "Windows PC" and delete it. Delete all partnerships that you have.
Then close activesync on the 8125 and go to "Start/setings/Connections/" and open your "connections". Do you have connections set-up? Make sure you have at least one connection set-up. Then close that and open your "USB to PC" is "Enable advanced network functionality" is the box checked? if it's not then check it (if it is then uncheck it), then connect your BSB cable and see if activesync on the PC will detect it.
If it does then set-up a new partnership.

Although it is possible to perform all actions with BT,like you do with normal active sync connectivity via usb,but No,You cannot flash a new rom through BT,you got to have a physical connectivity established between phone and your pc via usb and usb is shown at the bottom of the bootloader screen.Even during active sync connection,while flashing active sync is automatically disabled by the RUU and the flashing is still carried out by usb only.
crap... so the only logical solution that has left me is to give ppc to sum1 who will desolder/resolder the miniUSB connection back again... but still, i dont get it, i opened few times and i dont see any wire in miniUSB connector loosen or bricked... everything is fixed and on its place...

That's it !!!
there might be a tiny contact of the mini usb port which needs to solder,these tiny contacts are not sometimes visible to the naked eye,it can only be verified by checking with 'Voltmeter' and this can only be done by a person who has some knowledge about electronics repair and soldering.If you can do it,get a Voltmeter and can check the connectivity of all the five tiny connectors,good luck
dont worry i got this ****ing problem too
bootloader mode works but.....
I CANT CHARGE or CONNECT ON ACTIVE SYNC
BS!!!!!!
Mine will charge No Prob with both PC/USB Cable and Standard charger,PC takes FOREVER,It recongnizes a Smart Phone on both XP and Windows 7 but then says Not Installed correctly,No Drivers,ect. It has to be a Hardware issue with the Port or something,In "Comm Manager" there is always a "Check" Mark through the Activesync Selection,no way to get it to "enable" on the Phone Screen....Phone is not worth enough to hassle fixing it,it works fine,I have to use another phone to put stuff on my storage card,can I load windows 6.5 and unlock with the SD Card method?Thanks,Vegas

ActiveSync: device not detected

I cannot get ActiveSync to detect my phone.
I get the XP message "USB Device Not Recognized" when I plug in the phone.
I have checked my USB drivers. They are more up to date (2004) than the ones listed on the Microsoft support page listed in the ActiveSync readme.doc
I am running ActiveSync 4.5 on a Windows XP laptop
Windows Mobile 6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
on an Orange Tytn II (ok, I will flash the rom once I have a working ActiveSync!)
I have tried switching off the firewall on the laptop - no luck.
Changing the in "Enable advanced network functionality" through the 'USB to PC' connections makes no difference.
In the Get Connected Window USB is listed as having status "USB is available" after clicking Next on Checking COM ports (it takes a while).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync 4.5 (obtained from both the CD and the Microsoft web site).
I have done the usual cycle of switching everything off and rebooting (several times).
I have tried all four of the USB ports on my ASUS A6000.
New suggestions for things to try most welcome.
I did have the same problem myself when I first got mine. I also tried turning firewalls off etc. The only method that seemed to regularly work was to reset the kaiser and ultimately a hard reset
i had a similar problem and i found it was because i still had the nokia phone sync software on my pc too .. removing it sorted the problem
Soft reset the device, reboot the pc.
If USB syncing doesnt work, try bluetooth.
Works for approx 30 secs after reboot
I think I have a faulty phone.
ActiveSync works for about 30 seconds after a reboot, as does gps tracking, and then the connection is lost (and gps fixes on the last tracked location). I have tried soft/hard resets, all to no avail.
Unfortunately I bought the phone in London and I will have to wait until I am next in London to take it back to the Orange shop for a replacement :-(
I am having the same issue but I cant get activesync to work at all
I could recognise the kaiser on one PC but not on another, messed around and go it working then it stoped , all along it was mt Firewall, disabled the fire wall never had any more problems with activesync. that was my issue might be something for you to look into

I think your phone is ok. ActiveSync always gives all kind of problems.
I sync my kaiser on my desktop, my laptop and at work. For some reason, my desktop had exactly the same problem than yours. I tried everything!
Finally I found something that made it work much better. Go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck the option 'Enable advanced network functionality'
After that, I still get some random disconnects, but only happens like every 3 or 4 days.
Hope it helps.
I had this same problem (device not being recognised) but fixed it by connecting the USB directly to the PC not via a USB hub. This makes me think that the TyTN II requires the maximum current from its USB connector to work; a hub reduces the available power; some PC connections may not have enough and this could account for the problems some users are experiencing perhaps??

Have you fixed the problem yet? I'm having the same problem and tried everything suggested here.
I tried it on 2 computers with Vista. First it worked, but since my laptop with XP isn't reacting on my Kaiser anymore, Vista can't find the Kaiser too. Only a friend of mine, who has a Trinity, can use activesync. Is flashing a good fix?
Found solution to my problem
I have finally found a solution that works for me (having tried everything that everybody has suggested, plus more).
I found that if you have a password enabled (ie, something that has to be typed when the phone is first switched on; available via Settings -> Personal -> Lock) and a firewall running, then an ActiveSync connection fails for no obvious reason.
Disable the firewall and your phone will prompt you for the password after which ActiveSync works.
Disable the password and there is no prompt with/without firewall and ActiveSync works.
In my case I also had to untick the 'enable advanced network functionality'.
i am starting to thing there maybe a big problems here , i have the same thing and nothing has helped,,diffant pc`s i have hard reset the phone, unticked Enable advanced network. and still nothing.
The problem that I found was the notifications queue for ActiveSync on my phone had been corrupted.
I downloaded memmaid and used the "recreate Activesync" under the database menu.
Unplug from the USB, run MemMaid and on the "JumpTo" softkey go to "Databases\Notification queue". Tap on the arrow to the right of "Add..." and tap "Recreate ActiveSync". Soft reset your phone wait 60 seconds after everything is loaded and plug the USB cable in. You should be good to go.
This is a known problem with ActiveSync and happens on a plethora of WMD's, not just the Kaiser or HTC. I used to have the same problem on an iPaq PPC. Microsoft's official answer to this was it was the OEM's fault for not following strict rules on implementing properly coded USB drivers.

USB Device Not Recognized

I've been using my AT&T Tilt for nearly a month without any problems, but yesterday for reasons I cannot determine, my phone suddenly stopped being recognized by any version of Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tired Windows XP SP2 in a virtual machine on my Mac, I tried it on my wife's Windows Vista machine, and I tried it on my children's Windows Vista machine and I received the same error each and every time.
No matter what machine I plugged it into, I would immediately get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error and neither ActiveSync on Windows XP nor WMDC on Windows Vista would initiate a sync.
I've hard reset my phone multiple times, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both ActiveSync and WMDC, I've even flashed to a different OS on my phone (using my MicroSD card) and nothing has worked.
I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the USB connection on the phone may have failed. I've been contemplating sending it back to AT&T since I had a malfunctioning pixel in the middle of the screen, but with the recent problems I'm starting to lean more towards returning it and less towards living with the pixel issue.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing the USB problem?
Just a quick update, when I arrived at work today, I attempted to sync with my work computer (Windows Vista Business) and I had no trouble at all. I'm going to take home the cable that I have here (which came with the BlackBerry I use for work) and see if that makes any difference with my home computers.
wow
I can confirm this as well. I have the Tilt and I used a blackberry cable from my job and it synced up flawlessly. before i was getting that usb not recognized as well.
I'm having the exact same problem now.. it worked fine for 4 months and now.. it just says usb not recognized. Please post the results if your blackberry cable. thanks
I just tried a brand new usb cable and it still didn't work for me
I have the same problem but i've got a solution for this and it's very simple.
For someother reason ActiveSync will boot on the background of your device even when you close it, it will boot up within 10 min or less.
This is the thing you need to do:
Before you plugin your usb cable to sync......
Run taskmanager and close activesync. When you are sure that this application is not running then plugin your USB cable.
It worked for me!

I had this exact same problem happen to me at the end of November - I was using WMDC 6.1 for months then all of a sudden I could not connect (same error message you described). I went back and looked through the MS Windows updates and identified a NVIDEA driver update had caused my problem. Used system restore to roll it back and then everything worked fine.

(Sorry to borrow this thread to solve the same problem but on another device btw, I own a Kaiser myself but currently didn't face any problem yet..touch wood!!)
Dwimmerlaik, did you have any luck fixing the problem?
Solved my USB Connection issue in Vista
After trying everything I could find on the net to solve my inability for Vista to stay connected with my HTC Kaiser (ATT TILT), I found the problem exists with the MicroSD card. No matter what, Vista would connect then disconnect my phone after a few seconds. After weeks of searching I finally just decided to take out my 2Gb MicroSD card.....and now Vista maintain connections and I am finally able to sync via WMDC.
Spread the Word!!!! Take out the MicroSD.

-Try to use the USBs at the back of your PC(not on the front of the case).
-Try to buy another cable(That SHOULD BE an USB2.0 HighSpeed certified shielded cable. That costs something about $6 ).

Didn't work for me either
I've tried doing that multiple times..
Go to phone, menu, options, time zones tab, uncheck the Auto change time zone & clock.
This is a known bug in the firmware that causes A/S to automatically start & then sometimes it tries to start a second sessions of A/S when you plug in to your PC. Give it a try, have you ever noticed that A/S is running in task manager even though you're not connected or just reset? Just one thought.

What happend here? time for a new phone?

Dear All,
I am now reading over the forums for about three days. But still I dont have a solution for my sync problem. The problem is that after I flashed my kaiser it won't connect to activesync. But the STRAINGE think is, that when I put it in bootloader the computer does regonize my kaiser, and I can flash another rom on it.
I also got a MDA touch and when I am connecting that one to my computer, everything workes fine. So the problem is not in the computer. What did i already tried:
- turned off the advance USB settings on the kaiser
- reinstalled my whole WINXP and try to connect
- reflash in VISTA and WINXP
- Put the original ROM back
- check if the repplog is in the Windows file
- Put the firewall off
- Googled on every thinkeble words
So i think that the problem is in te phone, because my touch is normaly connecting. The only thing my kaiser is doing now is when i put in on the computer is recharing.
Does sombody have the knowlegde of getting my kaiser back to sync? It will let me sleep a lot better!
Regards,
Gertjan
usually truing off the option (Enable faster data synchronization) fix the problem...
this is the first time time I read about such problem that was not fixed by all you did...
there are some other things, they may not work, but they're worth of a try:
1. try flashing different radio, not only ROM
2. try changing the USB port on your PC
3. did you try syncing with another PC?
I had a similar problem with one of my PCs, it used to sync with no problems, then it stopped! the other PC i have syncs with no problems
all I did is disable the option (Enable faster data synchronization) in USB to PC in the connections tab
I really hope you'll find a fix soon
Do you use Dashwire? I have to kill the Dashwire process to make sync work... Just wondering?
If I understand your post correctly, you have 2 active sync devices. Are they by any chance named the same? I had that problem with my HP 3955 which is nothing more than a universal remote now but I charge it with my computer and it connects to active sync. Anyways long story short I named my phone Ron_Mobile when I got it which is what my PDA is named and I had active sync problems.
Sorry didnt help

The strainge thing was, that after a reflash of the ROM of Athene (that I use mostly) I suddenly get this problem, and before I didn't have this problem at all...
well hope that someone else can help me.
partly solved....

Do you use Dashwire? I have to kill the Dashwire process to make sync work... Just wondering?

Dashwire? didn't know the existing of this service, so i searched it up. This service is a very good alternative for the time that I dont have activesync to work.
you might want to reflash the rom. i had the same problem after using -G- series 4 for almost 3-5 months, all of a sudden activsync stop working for some odd reason. so i reflashed with the latest -g- rom and now everything works.

I installed the latest Garmin but still no succes..
I had the same problem. It happened when I flashed one of g-roms on my vista laptop. what I did was uninstalled and then reinstalled wmdc because apparently what had happened is something messed up with the drivers that recognizes my phone. I also hardreset just for good measure. I hope that helps.

Nope didnt work, also tried on other computers and reflashed couple of times...
Same problem
Yes, I had the same problem as you. Some ROM will do that and some will pass that ActiveSync with no problem. Personally, I had to go back to the ATT original ROM and ActiveSync works again. Strange, but true.
I had the same issue a week ago...it ended up being the usb port on the phone...had to have it replaced. But--since you can still flash via usb, that probably isn't the problem.
I would uninstall active synch or mobile device center reboot and reinstall...then connect the device.
ok I had a strange problem last night with my wife's G1, it made me think of this thread. I solved her problem and I doubt you have the same problem but here goes anyways.
My wife just got a G1. I plugged it into my computer to load some MP3's on it for her since the G1 is supposed to act like a MicroSD card reader. It started charging but no USB connection was detected. It worked on her computer but not mine. After an hour or so I finally figured it out. The USB cable I use for my kaiser has a 3 foot USB extension on it. after using a different cable without an extension it worked. Try another USB cable.
P.S. "load some MP3's on it for her" HAHAHA I just wanted to play with her new toy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Broken?
Thanks for all the reply people, but still no succes Can the damn thing also just be broken??
Regards

Computer does not detect phone.

Hi there, I reset my Tilt to factory settings yesterday and now when I plug it into my computer it does not detect anything.
The phone does charge, so I know that the connection is there.
I've had this problem before but I can't remember what exactly it is that I did to fix it. I've searched the forum and I can't find anything helpful either.
Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks!

You should be able to flash using your micro SD.

............but unfortunately you need to initially flash Hardspl thru your PC, from then on everything can be done through the SD card.

Have you tried another cable?
hi, i got this problem tu. i plug in the usb cable, but nothing appeared on my computer.id doesnt say it detected anything (usually it says found new hardware). i tried with several usb cables.still the same. but the phone is charged with all those cables i tried.
Yeah tried it and still got nothing. I am so stuck on what it could be.
I've tried 3 different cables and still have nothing. It worked a couple days ago, but ever since I reformated my phone it stopped working.
I don't understand why my computer doesn't automatically detect it as it did in the past.
reformat it again?
/grasp at straws
My tilt is doing the same thing. 2 days ago I was updating it and when I connected it to the computer nothing happened. Yesterday I tried flashing a new rom, thinking it would wipe it clean and make it connect again, however, it did not work. I am at a loss. Any ideas?
did hard reset and still unable to detect my phone.i'm using G.DK. ROM
i still have the problem
i trized a lot of cables, but from now the computer even don't say that it an unknown plyg is, he simply doesnt detect it. i'm just able to charge my phone, that's it
and in fact i just wanna put the official french rom on it because it's in dutch, i'm bilingual but it's more pleasant to have my phone in my mother language!
tahnks all of you for your help!

Hmmm, this is starting to smell more than fishy with more and more complaints popping up... Just wiped out my laptop thinking it was an update that killed activesync; complete wipe and still no connection; every and any other type of usb cables connect flawlessly from camera, psp, ds, dsi, usb plug in all work no prob; yet kaiser refuses to sync even with new cables before and after activesync updates
Try a different PC if possible. Make sure Active Sync or Mobile Center is installed prior to plugging it in.

I'll add to the pile. Exact same problem. ActiveSync doesn't work, but phone does charge. Various cables used, hard reset done. Haven't yet flashed a new ROM, though. I'm using an HTC official 6.1.
Last successful run of ActiveSync was May 8th. I used System Restore on my PC to pre-date May 8th. Still nothing.
Didn't make any major installations to either the PC (XP SP3) or the Tilt on or around that date. It just...stopped working.
All other functions seemed to work normally, except that I got an alert from QuickGPS that it hadn't been updated since that date. I was able to update that successfully.
Same problem on my fathers tytn II... probably HW prob. Will look into it...

Yep, it's definitely a hardware issue with the Kaisers usb port not fully connecting; I pushed the usb bar in a bit with the back end of the stylus and presto! Connected immediately
I'll also confirm success by the use of a little bit of brute force. Back end of stylus, a little manipulation, connect, and the "ba-DING!" sound in XP. Wish I'd done that before a hard reset...
