I just installed BBC on my TyTN II and I called my service provider (t-mobile) to add the service, and they asked me for a pin #, I told them it was pending and they said I must have a pin #...
What do I have to do to get the pin #? it just keeps saying pending on my phone.
No one else is having pin pending problem?
Not sure if you tried a search, but many others have gotten BBC to work successfulyl with a TyTN II. The instructions on how they did it and what they followed are int those threads.
I tried searching and I couldn't find it, can you direct me to the link? Thanks
I think the problem is that I haven't connected it to my computer.. is it necessary to connect the device onto the computer? because I think my USB port on my phone is damaged and I am unable to connect it...
Is there any other way I can connect it to my computer without using USB?
Haven't lookd for all the threads. But you should be able to roughly follow the instructions listed here:
http://www.america.htc.com/connect/8925/
Even though you are using TMo vs. AT&T, it shouldn't matter. You get the PIN by using the BlackBerry Connect Desktop for Windows Mobile software on your desktop PC while you have your phone connected to the PC and your PC able to log into the mail service you want BB service for. (So yes you do need to have a working USB connection).

Here's my problem. I have an 8125 and need to unlock it to use with T-Mobile. Here's the problem - the phone cannot connect via usb, it charges and everything else seems fine but no data connect.
Is there any way I can unlock this phone? Is calling Cingular my last resort?
Thanks for any help.
calling cingular is the last and safest choice so go for it
but their is sites that you go and pay $$$ and they give you the pin to unlock but i have never used them because i just go to my local phone store to unlock phones
Try changing usb ports on the back (or front) of your computer with the sync cable and see if that doesn't correct your problem with no data connect. I am assuming that you are runnung activesync on your computer if you're using xp or whatever vistas version is called if you're using vista.
Cingular should still sim unlock your phone for free though if you call them.
use usb killer to change usb setting and you can use activesync again
use usbkiller to change usb setting and you can use activesync again

after that you can find tools on forum to unlock your device
With many other HTC phones, i know that they have a program called 'Network Sharing' which very easily enables you to use the phone to connect to the internet via bluetooth or usb on a computer. The latest one i've seen would be the Cavalier, which when connected via usb would show as a network connection in Vista, per this program.
I am wondering if the Kaiser has this, I would assume that it does (when bought directly from HTC, as i know AT&T would disable something as user friendly as this).
Anyone who has this phone currently, would you be able to help me with this?
Thanks,
elbweb
P.S. I am picking this phone up tomorrow, so hopefully the answer to this question won't cause any regrets beforehand...
yes
enjoy!

Well this was something I already assumed would be included and happy to hear I was right in my assumption. In regard to AT&T removing such a user friendly option, they did in the original shipped wm5 rom but the update wm5 did include "Internet sharing" just a comment for those that would be worried at&t wouldn't include this.

Hi, i have recently installed ms active sync 4.5. However my tytn ii will not establish a connection with my pc. It charges just fine but does not connect. I have searched all over but did not find a solution to my problem. i was wondering if it mightbe the cable i got with my device when i purchased it. it is a usb to "mini usb" like the motorolas and nokia 6300 use. Could this be my problem?
I doubt it's because of the cable (though could be). Try unchecking start>settings>connections>usb to pc.
I have the same problem, and have tried connecting with and without advanced network functionality.
activesync does not respond at all, even when trying to connect from activesync on my pc.
I have the same problem, charging o.k., but USB connecting not work
Before I had same problem. The reason was I have installed some 3rd party program what somehow blocked the sync.
I have un-installed this program but it couldn't help because the registry setting was modified by this software. So finally I ended up with a hard reset and reinstall everything. After that the sync just work fine again.
Sigh, i thought it might come to that.
hard reset 2x, no effect
flah rom from SD card, Duty V1 Daimond....no effect
flah rom from SD card, L26 V6 Daimond.... I have the same problem, charging ok, USB data connecting not work...
Well, hard reset complete to no effect. So frustrating!!!! I have been troubleshooting for ages and have nothing to show for it. Surely someone on this forum has solved this problen before.
Hi
I had the same problem following a rebuild of my laptop.
Problem traced to my firewall which had blocked the connection.
Once rule changed to allow no further problems.
Hi colinm, what did you do exactly? It may help me out of this situation.
Doesn't anyone know anything about this?
Yeah i had it get the latest update for active sync from windows its a latest driver pack goto teh windows home and look on there it sorted my one out
what version is it? i have 4.5 right now.
If you could provide a direct link that would be great.
I was trying in 2 different PC ( Vista, Win XP), but the same problem, cable is ok....
I would really like to know what the more experienced members think about this but no-one really seems to want to reply. also i would like to know is the usb data cable plug identical to the htc original handsfree plug which is an exact fit. as i mentioned before my data cable is more like a mini usb, like the motorolas use. it fits (not perfectly like the handsfree), charges but there is no recognition between the device and the pc (xpSP2 running activesync 4.5 which came with the device).
Please help, i may seem to be a noob but i have tried available advice and troubleshooting has become repetitive.
My Mobile Device Center from my Tilt to Windows Vista stopped working a few weeks ago. Tried everything to no avail.
there was one thing that i couldn't do while troubleshooting.
"Do the following:
Disconnect the device.
Open Network Connections in Control Panel on the PC.
Note If your Control Panel is set to Category View, open Network and Internet Connections, and then open Network Connections
Right-click the local area connection created by ActiveSync, and click Properties. In the Connect using box, Windows Mobile-based device is displayed.
In This connection uses the following items, select every check box (to select all protocols).
Reconnect the device."
i cannot see the network icon active sync has created. which leads me to believe that this might be the problem. does anyone know how to fix this?
will updating to SP3 do anything, gonna try will let you know.

Hello there,
I've been searching around the internet now for about 3 hours to no avail, I have even resorted to emailing HTC for help. Thats how desperate I am.
I have a MDA Vario III (HTC TYTN 2) that has worked flawlessly for a long time (since christmas) but has suddenly stopped communicating with Activesync.
Im not bothered about syncing contacts etc, all i want to do is use the file browser to download and upload photos etc.
I have tried all the suggestions i have found so far (enabling adanced network functionality, disabling it, reinstalling Activesync etc.) to no working answer.
Can anyone help me?
raty
Not sure if you tried this or not. Delete your existing partnership and then reconnect it. Good luck. Activesync sux.
Hey,
I've deleted the partnerships off my vario3, and completly reinstalled activesync. Still didnt work.
Ive taken the phone into the T-mobile shop i bought it from, they seem a little too keen to send it off for repairs, maybe this is turning into more of a regular thing that i thought?
Kept onto the phone just for now, I wnt to try and fix it before i send it off.
Uh... why send it off if you fix it?
read through this thread and look at post #10 and see if your computer is detecting the device at all..
also try removing your simcard and microSD card and connect your device to your pc in bootloader mode and see if it says USB on the bottom.

It's probably the Notification queues have lost their active sync bits
use Pocket IE or Opera (mobile) to download and install something like MemMaid or SKTools
you can then add the Active Sync components back into the notification queues, and then rebuild them
Once done you should be able to sync etc
notification queues! What is that?
First I ever heard of that. I am having active sync issues as well and I have tried everything in this post.
Nothing works, it connected a few nights ago and it all of a sudden stayed connected all night. I am Back to having problems again.
Does anyone know if avast will hurt active sync?
here is your answer...

read thorugh EVERY LINK and you should be good
ive read through those links and none of them have a fix for me.
The computer recognises my phone, in device manager it comes up under Windows CE USB Devices as HTC USB Sync.
i shall try the bootloader idea and report back.
@Kimtyson- if i fix it i wont be sending it off, that would be obsurd
@pjwilkin- i have never come across that before while reading about the titan, fancy sharing some knowledge?
Just got my phone into bootloader (thanks wiki) and when the usb cable is connected it says USB and the computer starts to install drivers etc.
***bump***
sorry thats not proper foru etiquet but im desperate for som answers
Some further things to try
Can you connect via Activesync using Bluetooth? What about on other PCs and on other USB ports on your PC? What happens if you delete that HTC USB Sync listing in device manager, unplug the phone, reboot the PC and then reinstall Activesync 4.5 (I use the CDROM the phone came with the phone for that)? See if you can get the phone shop to plug it into one of their PCs with Activesync or WMDC.If it's showing up in your PCs device manager then it's likely some sort of problem/configuration issue with your desktop PC it's connecting to - not a problem with the phone itself.
this has happened to me ..
i vote for changing usb ports..
you probly already did so..
please post when you fix it..

Hi folks
this is the first time for me with WP 7 i am with the Android since the G1 lol.
i got an a focus s from a friend and i said to my self , why you don't try it? its locked to at&t, so the first thing i have to do is unlocking it.
at that point the problems started!!, i checked the unlocking cost via code, the average is 30$ which is expensive for 80$ phone!!, so i choose to unlock it via fastgsm and unlocking via USB cable.
i followed the instructions and everything seems to be OK till the last step when the phone reboots to the download mode, the program shows "FAILED" i had contacted teh customer support for fastgsm and they tried to help me, with o hope, thereafter i didscovered that there is somethign wrong with the connection of teh phone to the PC.
i start to read and read and read again "noting that i am expert in android things" and finally i decieded to use the CAb sender and/or the "sharp7eighter' to update then SIM unlock.
both programs with the same error "Device handshake failed" noting that the phone is connected and shows i937 in my compute but it never ever recognized by Zune, always says "no device connected"
sorry for my bad English, but i am very sure there is something i can do to :
1-go back to stock
2-update my phone
just to connected the fastgsm program to be able to SIM unlock it at acceptabl;e price 15$.
please and thanks

Fastgsm stopped working with the focus s when the newer firmware got updated, I think it was version LE2, I know I had to pay for more expensive unlock although in theory we can achieve unlock without paying anything with gsmtools etc, but this is risky as I don't really know how, it would require some experimental work!
As for connection issues
On keypad of your phone type ##634# and click "Call" button to show Diagnosis screen.
Type *#7284# onto Diagnosis screen, select "Modem, USB Diag." For fastgsm, and "zune" for...well, zune and confirm selection
Restart and let me know how zune sync now works

so, the safest way is pay the 30$, correct? noting that the firmware is in the attached pic

OK, there are a bunch of things we are going to try
Firstly are you in a position to hard reset your device from the boot loader?
If so do it, If not turn it off instead
turn your PC off
Plug USB cable in to a different port on the back of your PC, do not use a hub, it has been known that some hubs can affect sync
Turn both pc and phone on, assuming you have used a different USB port windows will install new drivers
Load zune and try again
Sent from my arc 10HD using xda app-developers app
i didn't use the phone yet, so i have no data to lose.
for the hardrest i did it many times, from setting , about, reset your phone then turn it off, press the three buttons together (power+camera+vol down) and format.
i don't know what you mean by headrest via bootloader.
and i changed the USB port and used 3 different types of USB cables, with no hope
and the strange thing is, when i plug the phone, the zune starts automatically and shows no device connected !!!
i am very sure that the previous user for the phone manipulate wit the software, so all i am trying to do is revert to stock, and i have another question regarding the download mode, when i was using the USB method from fastgsm to SIM unlock (screenshot attached), it shows that the PC detect the phone and read all information, but when it restarts to the download mode, it "FAIL".

I think its connected as a MTP device, that probably explains it..
OK,
Im going to hazard a guess with drivers being the problem
with the device connected I want you to do in to device manager and uninstall the driver for it, make sure you click delete driver as well.
then Disconnect the device before it can start installing it again
then go to http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and download the program at the bottom, make sure you choose correctly between x86/x64
this little program will allow you to view and delete all USB devices connected past and present. basically select the device, right click and uninstall it, you will need to run the program as admin
Have a field day and delete anything and everything that might be related to the phone, if you whack something that isn't related all you will have to do is reconnect it and it will install the drivers again so there isn't much to worry about.
try that and see if that removes what I think is a driver conflict. mind it might not be obvious what is and isn't related so best err on the side of caution and keep only those that definitely are not it!
Note it might be Samsung, or i937 or Windows phone or WP7 or more annoyingly USB composite device of which you will have many, just mind one of these will be a keyboard and mouse, if it stops just unplug and plug back in, windows will take care of the rest
