Peoples,
I am finding that whenever I attempt to copy a large file (>50Mb) to my device and SD card from PC using Activesync that it copys "normally", then times out, and tries to do it again! This happens for quite a while until I cancel the transfer.....
I am thinking that somewhere I have to change a setting so that this can happen (increase timeout length?, whatever.....)
Appreciate any help here, as I have had this issue with not only my Kaiser but other devices as well (Orbit).....
Many thanks!!
Have you tried waiting a looong time?
If you mean the Activesync progress bar jumps back to the beginning and then appears to start again, it's not actually timing out. The problem is simply that Activesync's progress bar misbehaves under large file transfers. If you just leave it for ever and a day (thats the normal time for large file transfers under Activesync) you'll find it should complete the transfer. If you need to get the files across onto the microSDHC card much quicker then just use the card reader it came with (at least for Sandisk 6 GB cards here in the UK).
get a cheap microsd to usb adapter as a reader
Thanks guys, I usually use a card reader but sometimes get lazy and think I can just "quickly" copy accross....appreciate the info, just never was patient enough to wait out what looked like a failing transfer!!
Cheers!!

The key is to realise it's not a failing transfer (despite what Activesync appears to show). I've used Activesync for large file transfers (using both USB and bluetooth) and since installing my USB 2.0 adapter card in my PC (to replace the onboard VIA USB 1.1 ports) I've made many large file transfers to the microSD card in the device and it always gets through in the end. Usually I just start the transfers before I go to bed and its ready in the morning. Will mention this bug to HTC in my next letter (one of many to add to the list).
Glad I could help.

In my case, I believe that it is actually timing out....
This happened to me several times, when I tried to copy a slightly larger file, it looked like Activesync timed out the connection.
A few times I tried transferring files of a few mb in size to/from my Hermes or Kaiser while connected via activesync, and it disconnected before the file was done.
If I am not transferring files, it seems to stay connected. Is there any way to prevent it from happening?
If it's just transferring files, there are many workarounds. However, I've got problem sync'ing my Kaiser with Lotus Notes via EasySync (from IBM). I have about 6000 calendar entries. Lately, every time when I tried to sync, EasySync went through about half of that, then quit - complaining about unknown error. I suspect that ActiveSync (which EasySync relies on providing the connection) timed out on the connection.
I did a lot of search on the web, and this forum. there were many hits on Google. But most of the questions and answers were more related to Exchange Sever timeout.
MSDN library does have a discussion thread. there is supposed to be a registry key called: "GetObject Timeout " on the PC side in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\DeviceID\Services\Synchronization. However, I cannot find this anywhere.
Any suggestions?
thanks very much!!!

If your Activesync connection is disconnecting altogether then thats not timing out. I had this problem when using my old VIA Motherboard USB ports and it was simply because the USB hardware/drivers weren't up to the task. Since installing my new NEC Chipset USB 2.0 Hi Speed PCI card the difference is like night and day in terms of Activesync connection reliability. What USB ports on what device are you using? What happens if you try the transfer using a Bluetooth Activesync connection (other than it taking even longer)?
I have AT&T 8925, live in United States, Run on a Dutty Rom and pretty much everything else is simple. No serious tweaking or reg hacks.
So Today, I go into work, plug in my PDA, and no sync. It is charging via the USB, but not syncing to Activesync. I need Activesync, it has all my contacts, appointments, etc etc. In the process of trying to troubleshoot this problem I have wiped my phone clean.
I have tried it all;
clearing storage on phone
deleting activesync off PC (4.5) and reinstalling, multiple times
Used Microsfts Troubleshooting guide
I have installed Activesync on three different PC's and all wont recognize the phone, as if its not there, but it does charge. I also have tried 3 different USB cords.
I don't know what to do, I even stumped the HTC troubleshooting tech guy. I also am screwed since if I send this phone back to AT&T under warranty to get a new one they will see the Dutty ROM and that will void my warranty. I would reinstall the original Windows/AT&T shipped Rom, but I cant get the Activesync up or don't know how to get a PC to recognize my PDA.
So.........I beg and plead, lend your advice for as long as this thread goes (hoping its in the right place) I will try your ideas, theories, and what nots.
IT seems like it would just be something so simple......is it? Where is my Data Connection.....
Thank you fellow XDA members for your time and assistance.

Do you get the "connecting" sound on the PC when you plug the device (same one you get when plugging any USB device)? If not I'd go for hardware fault on the phone's USB port... maybe one of the connector's solder points got ripped or whatever. That's if the port isn't fried altogether... Done anything special between the last time it worked and the first one it didn't?
This may be obvious...but did you restart your computer and hard reset your phone, then try? Im using vista and ive had no problems with any roms...so it just maybe a temporary problem.
Also test this while using the back USB ports, the front ports do not connect the same as the back ports do.
When my new Tilt's screen died an untimely death, I spent all day restoring all my goodies to the replacement Tilt. The next day, went to ActiveSync, and NOTHING! Charged, etc, but no connection. I did all the steps you tried and a few more.
Then, after wasting an entire evening, I found the solution!
Go to Connections>USB to PC, and uncheck 'Enable advanced network". Plug it and let 'er sync.

ahaha yea i thought graff had already checked the software so i didnt bother going into that
I suggest u try to search, there is a search option - type there something like "cannot conect to activesync" - there are milions of threads with this problem, unfortunately I dont know if there will be a solution for u. Just try that out and read.
This happened to me and I had to send my phone in to at&t. I know this probably wasn't what you wanted to hear. They sent me another phone and gave me 10 days from the day I received the new phone to send back the old. I also had the same rom as above I couldn't even flash it via sd card, so I sent it as was and haven't heard anything since. This was two months ago. The problem turned out to be with the mini usb port, it was warped like it got to hot or something. Maybe from using in car for gps I don't know. I hope this helps.
answers and bump
As for searching........always someone has to say it, "why dont you try the search option" - my friend, I am a google allstar and beleive in the forum searching till you can no more then post theory. Now saying that, I am willing to bet the answer to my problem is buried within a post in some thread with some fabric of the entire XDA forum. Finding it though can be harder than removing bubblegum from buckwheats hair.
So I have tried a hard reset for the PDA and the restarted my PC, several times.
...no go
I knew something was wrong when I lost the "ding" every time I hooked up the PDA via USB to my computer.
I had tried the unchecking the Enable Advanced Network before but did again and reset the phone with hopes of glory today. No glory.
I feel I have lost the phone and am ready to move on. Its just so friggen hard since it charges. How can it charge, and not stream data! I fried just the right parts of the mini USB? Blasted! So so so so disappointing because I felt I really had it nailed this time with the perfect radio, ROM, Dialer, programs, software, it all.....well maybe not radio, but my receptions suck all the time anyways and I live in Charlotte NC, a major US city with great AT&T coverage.
Now.....I am still open to any ideas and creative thoughts......but how do I get a the original WM6 Shipped ROM back on the phone? If I cant get any PC to recognize my PC via USB? I am calling in the warranty people today and not speaking of my Dutty, but having a new phone shipped. I just hope not to see a nasty bill come one month or two.
Thanks so far, well done XDA forum friends,

.....I am curious for you. Two months seems like your in the clear, but I hope not to jinx you. I have done the whole 10 days thing 6 times so far since the original purchase of my 8525 in August of 2007. Wasn't until the 5th time I complained and they offered me the 8925 as a replacement. The first five were all shipped back on time, with original ROM's and valid device malfunctions. Never have I been billed.....yet........

True, but forst I gotta get my mini back in the full size adapter then find a friend with a printer that accepts my scandisk so I can transfer the file over to it. Right now at work trying to save the file to the storage card via wifi. Shall be interesting to see if it works. Didnt on phone, said not enough mem.
Thanks for the suggestion, was so hooked on USB, forgot the other various aspects of the all great HTC.

Thats just some of it, it is more to it. I use xp anyways. You mention reinstalling active sync but have you tried .NET Framework Version 3.0 ? If the device charge via usb I would suspect its software issues on youre pc. Could be bad version of some of the software aswell, try download again making sure its the latest and so on. Good luck
Edit: Why dont you back everything up and reflash from microsd and then see if it will connect. Should solve it.

You are wise my friend. Thank you for the other software, I will try that. Funny thing about the PC, is I have tried three different PC's, all which it used to sync or try to sync with when I would just be charging. I would love to flash via SD card, but first I need the adapter for my computer, or track a friend down with a printer and correct slot. That might be done tonight. I am at work now trying to download the a rapidshare file of a shipped rom, free style, slow style, and prolly not going to work. But hey, its a learning experience.
Either way, my warranty is up in August, so I figure why not get one more nice new fresh 8925 before then. Ordered new one today, comes next week. I will still try and flash back to the shipped rom via SD tonight.
XDA and its members Rock, this is by far the most help I have ever received via my few threads.

Everybody knows that xda rulez.
Hello,
I have searched thoroughly on this site and I cannot find any help. I used to have vista ultimate and I down loaded the usb modem drivers and it worked like a charm. I had to re image my pc and now I have vista business. However now when I try to load the drivers they do now show up on the device list and it does not successfully install the modem. Am I missing something? is there an updated driver? Can anyone please help or point me to where I can get some help. I really need to get back on line. Thanks XDA
I have a suggestion which might work.
Look at your device manager and see if there is anything on there thats coming up as unidentified... if there is, and with the phone connected to activesync so the PC knows the phone is there (assuming activesync is working), delete those entries one by one and when you delete one you need to click *scan for hardware changes under the *actions menu.
If you didnt start from scratch with the PC - IE format the hard drive and rebuild the system - that may mean there is a corrupt version of the driver still floating about and causing problems. This is why in the places I have worked we always backed machines up - did a full format - and then either imaged or rebuilt the box manually.
Another option is to go online to the manufacturers support site for updated drivers and install them from a location you have saved them too to your hard drive..
From my experience dealing with recalcitrant USB devices I would think that the first issue is more likely.
However there is another possibility that may be the root of the problem. I know that different versions of Vista support different connectivity options and setups - aka Vista Basic doesnt do Active Directory or Domains (im dredging this up from memory so its a little hazy). There is the remote possibility that the Business version doesnt support phones as USB modems, although I would be very surprised if that was the case.
It does strike me as a little odd that you have gone from one version of the same OS to a different version of the same OS and have had this sort of problem... but then Microsoft are known for compatibility gremlins - two words - Windows ME
Hope that helped.
I know, it is very surprising to me that now it does not work on Vista Business. You would think that it is basically the same OS but with less features. It is the 32 bit version. Its driving me crazy because I depend on it to do my work from my laptop and it just does not populate the device name when browsing and selecting the drivers. It sees the device it just does not pupulate. When I try to do the right click and install it does install it but it still does not show up under modems. If any one else has more suggestions I will greatly appreciate it.
No need to panic fello xda members and friends. It is all good now...i am typing thins theteering from my laptop through my tilt. Thanks xda you are the best. The speed trough my tilt is faster than my 2wire at home....ftw.:d
A few days I ago I noticed that when I plug my phone into a computer using a real usb cord (the main one I use at work supplies only power, no data) my phone doesn't come up in the Win7 explorer as a drive, and when I try to mount it so I can transfer files, nothing is displayed. This was a problem when I was running CyanogenMod 6.1 RC.
I tried resetting to factory defaults, formatting the sd card, and have now installed CyanogenMod 6.1. All to no avail. I've tried it on two separate Win7 pcs, but don't have ready access to an XP machine.
Anyone else experience this? I've had to resort to sharing files over bluetooth; which, wile doable, is not very fun when you're transferring a 50mb ROM.
Here's a helpful hint

After installing CM6 somewhere in the beta process I lost the ability to use ADB, I have tried on 3 different computers and all hang at waiting for devise. I have tried several methods posted on these forums and none have worked.
last week i had the same problem with aosp 0.9.8 .......well i just found the drivers for cdma hero online(i had them in first place) and just rewrote over them once more....i dont know if there was some bug or mistake or whatever but it worked...

Hmm, that's interesting. Which drivers were they? And would you be able to post them somewhere? I have some files from playing with my Hero but not sure if I have all of them.
I have the same problem. I just flashed to CM6.1 about a week or so ago and had NFX for a week or so before that. Didn't have a problem before either of those and I am not sure when it stopped working.
Not a huge deal since I can just pull out the SD card and go that route.
Same Deal Here
I do have access to a Windows XP machine. I am going to reinstall drivers again and see if that works. No reasonable explanation for this occurence. I tried different cable, different pc's, even different sd cards. Once I had a corrupt sd card that was causing issue. I can charge the phone fine, just no data and I upgraded to cm 6.1 final. Last night I finally got the 2 computers to recognize device and unknown usb device.

Hi,
I have a 3.5 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop (Windows Vista 32-bit) and I just recently purchased a 320GB Seagate external hard drive to which I want to back up my important files. While I was backing up, however, I found a problem in my filesystem.
Some of my documents seem to have been deleted from the system; however, the file is still in the filesystem, it just has no data in it. The files show 0KB and the date of modification is 1/1/2000, as if the files are completely empty of all data. I lost backups of all my USB flash drives for the past 4 years and a backup of the SD card in my SGS4G. (I don't know if this is important information, but the data that I lost was modified about a week ago, possibly on the same day).
I don't know if this is a virus, a result of my attempts to back up my files (I doubt this one), or a sign of an imminent hard drive failure due to some bad clusters. I ran CHKDSK from the recovery partition on C: and I found no bad clusters and no problems on the drive. A virus scan through avast! also came up empty. The Geek Squad told me absolutely nothing.
I don't know if I should get a new laptop soon or what, but my plan is to wait until the bitter end and use this computer until the HDD finally fails. I've backed up almost everything I wanted to, I just lost a few files.
If anyone has any input whatsoever, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
