i need some help
when i connect the usb with my tilt
it just charges the phone
You want to give a little bit more information?
Yes, that would help. What happens when you connect and what version of active sync do you have and what Windows OS are you running?
Step one: make sure you have activesync v. 4.5
step two: disable your norton or mcafee or whatever virus protection you have
step three: go to start, control panel, switch to classic view (on the left side) click on windows firewall and disable it.
it should connect at this point.
leave the device connected and disable one at a time when you hear that little activesync noise you've found the program that was causing the problem. Ta Da! let me know if that works. PM me if anything else.

Hmmmmm, hard reset or in device manager check for your device's driver and delete it, then try again.

r u asking me to removed all usb drivers?
coz it doesnt say which one is which
Sometimes this is a simple cable problem.
Try a different USB Port on your computer, or a different cable. Also check that you haven't damaged the USB connection on your phone (some people do this by poking it with their stylus when trying to soft reset).
I had a similar problem, no idea if it is the same or even similar, but with mine RAPImgr also locked up and spiked the CPU usage to 50% (ie maxed out one of the cores - have a look in task manager). This only started happening with my Kaiser, wasn't happening with the Hermes....
Anyway, the way I solved it was to go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and disable the "advanced network functionality" (ie uncheck the box).
If I had already plugged the phone into the computer, rapimgr would already be locked up and the only solution was to reboot (killing the process spawns a new one and when you finally find its parent's parent to kill, it takes out something vital which causes the machine to force a reboot).
For it to connect to my Vista box, I have to have this setting enabled. For XP I have to have it disabled.
Hope this is of some help.
I too was having this problem - i uninstalled ActiveSync from my PC and reinstalled it from the MS site - works fine now.

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.

not working crap, i think now i have a damaged miniUSB..

@asctony i cant open that link, can u plz send me the file on my mail?

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
When I disconnect the usb activesync connection, activesync is still running on the ppc. So I always have to close it manually.
Is there any way to make it close automatically when disconnecting the usb cable ?
It's just a small thing that is bugging me, but I can't seem to find a solution for it.
Not exactly what you want, but I use this app to disable (stop) and enable Activesync. It works great!
http://activesync-toggle.en.softonic.com/pocket
That's to close it on the pc, I think.
I would like to have it automatically closed on my kaiser when i disconnect the usb cable.
I have the same issue. Activesync keeps running and it even restarts itself after I kill it. It's very annoying. The toggle app is for the PC, I've already tried it on the Tilt and it doesn't work.
At this point, I would be willing to completely remove activesync if possible.

have you ever messed around with the activesync server options, it sounds like it is trying to grab e-mai. open up activesync on your device and go to Menu>Schedule, set everything here to manual and see if that helps at all.

Check ASyncKiller by eliasweb. It does exactly what you want.
My Tilt was last connected 6 days ago on 5/7. But today it will not connect. But before I begin, I DID search the forum. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Neither Windows Mobile Device Center or Sync Center see my device. I tried starting Active sync from the Connection manager screen but it wont connect.
The only change between now and then was adding a 250gb external hard drive. And I just disconnected it from my computer and no change. The computer attempts to connect to the Tilt and plays the USB connect sound, then a bit later will sound the USB disconnect sound. I checked device manager and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I checked every USB Root Hub and none of them listed my Tilt. I went into event viewer and this error came up:

I am getting very annoyed with this. I dont want to delete the partnership since it will erase my calendar off of the device.
I have the Tilt connected directly to the back of the computer and I tried more than one port on the back.
Please help!!
ok so what happens on another computer?
you might try going to a restore point on your pc to the last time it worked.
start/accessories/system tools/system restore
in case your system updated and changed something.
EDIT: disconnect your device. restart the PC. restart your device. after boot is complete on both devices then reconnect the device.
I honestly wouldn't do anything like that until you can find out if it works on another computer. I have heard of and seen a few jacked up mini- USB ports.

I second that advice!
I had similar issues with windos mobile device center. I can't remember how I fixed it exactly but it had something to do with a service needed for Windows Mobile Device Center to run correctly. Check all of the services related to mobile and make sure they are all running.
I took the phone to work and had another usb cable. It connects and XP tries to find a driver. The device charges on both.
EDIT: I tried ending the partnership and it wouldn't reconnect.
I was able to get it to sync. I had to turn off the use high speed usb option. So I am not sure if I will ever be able to go back to the other form of syncing.
I went to the AT&T store in my area and they rep who sold me the phone came right over and asked if everything was going OK with the phone. I explained the problem and he recommended doing a soft and/or master reset. So with instructions in hand, I got up this morning and backed up all my data to the SD card, then ran the master reset. Same problem!
Have you tried uninstalling Windows Device Center and reinstalling it, also making sure its an updated version?
Yeah, just did that. It will connect with WDC but wont sync. Very annoying. Going to try to ebay the phone.

This is actually easy and it is a well documented issue. Go to "Settings", "Connections" and "USB to PC" and uncheck the "Enable advanced networking capability". Your Tilt will then sync with Vista.
I am not sure why this is such a secret. Microsoft is well aware of this issue.

Don't see this as being the issue as I am running Vista as well and don't need to uncheck the advanced capability.

Install AS 4.5
Then connect your phone. Windows will first detect it as a new USB device and then AS will kick in and ask to set up a partnership.
Exactly what is going wrong with yours?

i read that if you're using a usb hub it would not connect. you must have the usb cable connect straight to your pc's usb port.
and if nothing works the last solution is to hard reset your pocket pc for a frest start and see if it can connect then.

2nd that. Try another USB port on your PC. Sounds like there's either the driver missing (which should only be the case if you do not have Active Sync installed)
OR
try to disable the "Advanced network functionality". Can be found at 'Settings > Connections > USB to PC'. (Einstellungen, Verbindungen, USB zu PC oder so).
Do you have some sort of firewall software?
like, ZoneAlarm or antivirus with firewall?
disable them or allow the port as trusted and you should be fine
jeah,
thanks for this many posts, but ive got all these probs outa my way, these are all the things ive thought they may disturb the connection... but (im sorry) theyre no solution for my fckn prob, as told, my ppc connects to other pcs(with older as)but not to mine with the newest as ...
so, lets think how to manage it...
try rebooting the host PC or just kill mobsync.exe, wmdc.exe and WmdHost.exe in taskmanger. Then open Sync software again. Works for me.

I think i have found a solution for you.
Follow:
Start Menu > Configuration > Connections > Click on the icon called "USB à ordinateur" (my phone is in french so i think it will be for you " USB" or "USB to PC")
It's written: Choose the connection type to PC
Select active Sync and uncheck the case just under (it is " activate the feature advanced networking")
And that is !!
TRY and say me..
Hi the diamond is my first PPC as well. I connected it in my PC and was able to use it as a HD. however i am having doubts of just unplugging it afterwards but i did just unplugged it after use.
On my second attempt. Diamond notified me if i will sync or use the HD i accidentally hit sync. but it required a password. I unplugged it and the problem beginned.
There is no Start Menu. so i did the soft reset on the red button below the stylus. It worked now, however the home screen does not have the Large Digital Clock now.
Can someone help me to display it back i have tried to check it in the Today menu. however it is still not appearing.
Pls.. help a new PPC user. Thank you.

Try the search engine before you post, recently there where alot of topics on ActiveSync not working. Anyway, the way your PPC will act when you connect it to a USB port can be setup in setting, connections, usb to pc. Mark Diskdrive or ActiveSync.
There you should also unmark the advanced network functionality. Check it off and try again.
Rgds,
Thanks, by the way do you know how to display the Large Digital Clock again in Home. It was lost after i tried to soft reset my hanging Diamond.
Do you think it will appear again if i do a Hard Reset? Thanks.

Hi,
I am getting a bit frustrated over this.
When I connect my X1 to my Vista x86 nothing happens (well the USB task tray icon show for about a second and vanishes again).
When I disable the "advanced option" in the USB/PC connection settings in the X1 I at least get a USB connection with something identified as "PocketPC USB Sync".
Any idea why this is happening and how I can get a real connection with the win mobile device center?
Thanks for helping me out!
Cheers,
Tillman

You might want to try and disable the firewall and then connect the device. I had this problem with Sygate Personal Firewall (sygate was bought by symantec and personal firewall is now terminated and no longer available)
Thanks for the quick response guys!
I already tried disabling the firewall (nod32) but that did not help.
Also checked all services - everything is peachy in that department.
But still - no connection.
When I switch back to "legacy mode" (disabling the advanced option in usb/pc settings on the device) then the device will tell me that I need to install active sync 4.5 or higher and wmdc still does not connect.
This is really strange...and annoying and the same time.
Any more ideas or any way for me to debug what's going on?
Thanks for you help!
Have you intalled "Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1" on your Vista-PC?
The MobileDeviceCenter should be standard without the need to install...
At my Vista Home the X1 had no problems to connect.
Open the Mobile Device Center and delete all old connections of other PPC. Then start your PC again, Softreset your X1 and try again. This should help. I had the problems too, when first connecting, because he didn't liked my G900-connection which was first
After this I too could install my G900 again and no problems since yet (2 weeks).

Well sometimes the Mobile Device center could stuff up or not work due to some issues such as installation of Mobile Device Center 6.1 went wrong. I have experienced that I think I didn't follow the procedures correctly and things just wouldn't work. Eventually I had to do some uninstall and reinstall many times to finally get it working.
When I first plugged mine it it installed some drivers but didn't show up in the Mobile Device Center; unplugging and replugging in caused it to work...did you change settings in between plugging in for the second time?
What I have tried so far (and nothing worked):
Uninstall / reinstall WMDC
Uninstall / reinstall Win Mobile Remote Adapter (yes, this does show up once I am connected with "advanced" USB mode)
Uninstall / reinstall "PocketPC USB Sync" (shows when X1 is set to legacy USB mode)
When in "advanced" mode I can also see a new LAN connection showing up in network overview.
The same X1 on a different Vista 32bit right next to this one will connect just fine. So it's definitely about a driver or config thing with this Vista.
This is driving me...well you know what.
btw, you did try restarting your comp when performing some of those steps, and you did try different USB ports right?
I know that you had to ask.
Yes I did. I have rebooted the system several times in between all those reinstallation tasks.
By the way. When I am in USB legacy mode and reconnect the USB cable then the X1 will show a messagebox telling me that it's connecting with the host and that the user credentials / user account (having to translate here) are correct.
But still NO connection visible in WMDC.
I had the same problem with my X1. I assumed that because my HTC Diamond worked the X1 would as well.
I finally installed WMDC from the SE install cd, and bingo!! al good. Hope it works for you...
Wow!
Even though it does not work (yet) it's showing some new signs.
Installing WMDC from SE disc fails at 99% progress and then rolls back.
There's gotta be some installation error log this, right?
Thanks for coming up with that suggestion. Really, I should try installing from vendor CDs more often instead of hunting down the latest version on the net.

maybe give event viewer a try and check under Windows Logs (not sure if it will be application or system tho)
just in case you aren't sure, in vista either type in "Event Viewer" in the start menu search bar, or type in "eventvwr"
Don't you just like vista?
That helped (to install SE's WMDC). The issue was that my HTC Universal was still connected to one USB port (for testing purposes since that device is not recognized either).
As soon as I unplugged the HTC I was able to complete the WMDC installation.
Unfortunately though it still won't connect to my X1.
Any more ideas?
what is your settings in Windows Mobile Device Center connection Settings?
Well here is my settings that is working with my x1:
Allow USB connections checked
Allow connections to "DMA"
This computer is connected to "Automatic" (this shouldn't matter)
Allow automatic device authentication checked
Allow data connection on device when connected to PC (this shouldn't matter either)
also, while this link was in the first link that I have posted for trouble shooting, just want to make sure you actually tried The offical Windows Mobile Device Center troubleshooting guide?

namely these steps:

My device wasn’t connected during this installation.
While it is not a strict requirement that you have a device connected during the installation process of Windows Mobile Device Center, we highly recommend that you do.

I didn't have the DMA set (changed that now). Everything else already was like you described and it does not work.
This really freaks me out. I always hated my iTunes/iPhone connectivity but that honestly works much smoother. Of course I do understand that this behavior is non standard as I have experienced myself that the phone works with my other Vista machine but that does not really help me here.
Any update on this? I am having the same problem.
I'm having the _exact_ same problem too, but in Vista x64. I don't know why WMDC can be such a c**t sometimes, as I have never been able to 'sync' with my Media Center PC.
My only saving grace is that my laptop has Bluetooth, and syncing works great on it. I have never had success connecting the USB cable (with many options changed around of course) to either of these computers. Only Bluetooth syncing works for me...
Hopefully we can find the answer!
What USB cable are you using??? the one that came with Xperia??? Cos the one that came with my Xperia never worked out of the box, it could only charge...
I also got another extra cord which came in another box, that worked fine for both syncing and transferring data until today, now it says USB device not recognized, maybe I was trying the flash X1 with new ROM through SEUS, did the whole lower volume key and power button to get the 3 strips.
Now I am using the USB cable that came with my external HDD, that's currently working, hopefully it won't fail me.
so any ideas??? I don't want to keep changing cables...
