Windows Mobile device center - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

On vista it doesnt see my device at all. I picked activesync on the diamond's screen when i plugged in the USB. But vista doesnt see the device, and i can't sync.
Any ideas?

Hmmm that doesnt sound good....i use vista ultimate on my laptop at home and have all my contacts on my M$ 2007 outlook program. If it cant synch with the contacts on outlook then its no good to me...unless theres a way around it??.

Panic over I'm not sure what happened exactly but after a hard reset it all works fine. I didn't even install anything on it, although i did get a manilla error on first boot.

From the top of my head: Remove the option "Advanced network" in settings, USB PC.

This has been my problem on every flash that I have done on my xv6800. Just remove the checkmark and your vista machine should see your titan.

I also use Vista Ult with the Diamond and it works 100% perfectly! I actually even see a photo of the diamon in the Windows Mobile Device Center.. rather than the default pic, when I hook up my HTC P3600.
Also, I noticed that syn'ing with the diamond with Vista is 10 faster than with my HTCP3600. Both via active sych or via media player 11! Huge plus for the diamond!

I have had the same issue with Vista business. I installed 2 updates (or programs) from one of the 2 CDs that came with my Diamond and Vista recognized the Diamond immediately with an actual picture of the Diamond instead of the default picture.

It seems it intermitantly can't see the diamond.
I unchecked advanced network and its fine again.

Any idea how to use a usb cable to get a kaiser to use the inet connection of a PC?

I'm a consultant and there is a cool invoice software for windows mobile 6
but most offices I go to don't have wifi so is there a way to use the pc's internet connection from a kaiser?
Thanks.
May want to do a search on that since its been posted many times already.
It's prety easy to tether a Tilt to a laptop, as long as it's NOT Vista. Vista is a pain in the ass. Anyway, on your Tit use the file explorer and go into the Windows folder. Look for a file called "Internet Sharing (2)". Hold your stylus down over it until the menu box popsup and select "copy". Now go into your Windows/Program folder and paste the shortcut there. Next, just go into your phone under Programs and find the shirtcut you just pasted. CLick on it. Now you'll see two boxes with drop-down menus to make selections. On the first one choose"USB", and on the second choose "Internet". Now connect your usb cable to your device and laptop. You'll see it start to recognize Activesync like normally, but now on your Tilt in that Internet Saring window the last thing to do is click "COnect" on the bottom. That's it. Actve sync will stop, and your lapop will take a moment o ecognize the new modem. Soon as thats down just openup a browser. TAH-DAH!
If you mean using the pc's conection on the device there are settings in active sync and wmdc which can enable it.
Which one are you using?

I'd like to know how to do it with Vista. I just picked up a new laptop and found this thread searching for exactly that. And I agree, Vista is a pain in the ass...

Really? I haven't had any issues with Vista and my Tilt? What excatly are the problems encountered?
my first choice is usb or bluetooth pan i select usb then second choice is medianet or att gprs how do i get internet as a choice
Or read the original post...
He doesnt want to use the Kaiser's web connection on the pc... he wants to use the pc's connection on the Kaiser.
Just plug the device into the pc - then run windows update and it will download and install Windows Mobile Device Centre. Then set it up as a guest and you are good to go.
(I am still amazed that there are people who don't use Activesync/WMDC with the WM devices)

I agree. This thread has been too confusing. Just install Activesync on Windows XP or WMDC on Vista. Connect the phone with USB cable and it will be able to access anything the the main PC can access
The only problem you can have are firewalls, the Wm device connects to IP 169.254.2.2 on the PC.
I have connected several PDAs with different ROMs to several computers, and it connects and sync always.
i answer this question all the time;
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
add that to your registry and it will work.
whats the difference of medianet and att isp gprs?

Diamond wont sync on Vista?

I connect it, it detects it, I select what I wanna sync, and it just sits there saying "Syncing" but nothing actually happens.
Not sure what to do....
How long have you waited for it to sync? Sometimes it can take quite a while.
An hour. My P3600 syncs in 3 mins.
Sync
I first installed the new Windows Mobile CD that came with the Diamond, and it connected with Vista right away, no sync issues, check your firewall software.

it wont be the firewall software, what version of vista are you using? try installing SP1 and all your updates... worked first time for me...

Yeah, that's not right. Try disabling your firewall, and if that doesn't work, contact some proper support people.
I dont hyave any firewall software installed. I already had the sync center, so there was no point installing anything off the CD.
Gonna try upgrading to SP1 now....

make sure you dont have the device in USB Storage Mode! Start > Settings > Connections > USB To PC and make sure ActiveSync (Sync with Outlook) is selected
also make sure you have the latest version of mobile device center on your pc
Just use the original USB cable that comes with phone
Updating Vista to SP1 did the job.

I am connected and can install software to the device also explorer . but can't sync contacts, calendar etc... Microsoft website says 4.5 works up through servicepack 2, nothing about servicepack 3. the new PDA connect only works with vista. Any body else having this problem and if so have u found a work around. thanks. Ed...

Strange AS 4.5 worked just fine after I replaced SP2 with 3, perhaps you installed something else afterward that could have overwritten a common dll or so that AS uses.
Have you tried re-installing AS 4.5, first thing I do if something stops working after I installed anything new.
In any case good luck with it

I have the same issue with Activesync 4.5.0 (B 5096) but it connects once I disabled ZoneAlarm PRO 7.0.470. It runs fine before the update
why on earth would you go to sp3 on xp anyway? It's got hardly any worthy changes to XP, its most likely because microsoft want to get rid of dodgy CD keys.
I think it will be about as successful as windows ME personally.

Active sync in windows 7 ??

Hi, I have install windows 7 rc , and i cant have my contacts in diamond to sync with outlook. It seems active sync is not compatible with win7 . Is there a solution ? Thanks ,
in win 7 is no active sync... you have to use mobile device center
hi
this works for me on windows 7 you can download it from here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
When you connect your diamond to win7, it will automatically download drivers and mobile device center . To get Outlook is your own responsibility. You probably have a 30 day trial version on one of the disks that followed your phone, but it will still sync after those 30 days.
EDIT: I have no clue wether the trial version works in win7 or not.

Ι downloaded the above. I didnt see nothning to change. I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center and it looks to work ok. I see diamond from the pc as a hard disc, and i can use it. I also have internet to diamond throw the pc. The phone is recognized by the pc as Touch Diamond P3700, and i have the icon of sync sender in taskbar. What I dont have? The one i am interested more.. My contacts to outlook to pc.. I have installed office 2003 to the pc , and i have outlook 2003. There , contacts are empty.
I dint see to Windows Mobile Device Center to have any option to transfer contacts from phone to outlook.. Any help ?
edit... Ok I just solve it. I went mobile device settings-change content sync settings. In contact there a press sync settings ,and there it writes synconize from Pc1 Pc2. Only one was "ticked" I tick and the other , and contacts went to my pc... Very complicated i think..
Hi, I'm on Windows 7 64 bit build 7100. Trying to get my phone to sync, have installed WMDC 6.1 64 bit version, plug my Diamond in and Windows Update fails on trying to install the driver, just get PocketPC USB Sync in Device Manager with a status of "This device cannot start (Code 10)."
Any ideas where I am going wrong on this? Had no issues on Vista 64bit getting it to work, have repeated all the same steps so am scratching my head somewhat.
Edit: Solved it, turns out it was my USB extension lead, tried plugging directly into the computer and it worked perfectly lol
Windows 7 ActiveSync Fix

There is a good write-up on how to Enable ActiveSync on Windows 7 x64 and x86.

Have fun,

good to go
seems to be working good now RC.

I think I have researched all the treads on this pretty well now & I've tried all the above including rolling back to before I 1st allowed the WDM to install to no avail. I still can't get my Diamond talking to W7 WDM still talks to my old Vista Ult machine though.
Everything looks good the updater downloads drivers then the WDM then the installs happen the device gets found and it sort of knows its a HTC device plugged into a USB port but WDM and Sync Center both don't believe its there.
I've tried resetting the Diamond complete reboots of the computer, I've changed all settings in the PC to USB menu on the Diamond (another thread) and this only changes the Device from Generic Serial to Generic NDIS but still WDM won't connect.
So has anyone got any further suggestions I can't believe its this hard every one else has no probs what might I be doing wrong (I think the fact the device is a Generic Serial not a Diamond might be a hint but I can't prove it)

Stephen Lane,
I have exactly the same problem. Did you found a solution or still facing this problem?
You can use Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. It's free to download by MS.

Thanx alot people! This thread saved my day!
WMDC does not recognize my G1. He detect that there is a unidentified device and searching the driver to web but after a minute it was NOT successfully installed. How come? LOL.

Problem! X1 not charging when turn on and can't sync

All,
recently I encountered a wired problem on my X1
first, it can't charge itself - either with PC or wall socket, when the device is turned on. It can only be charged when it is completely switched off.
second, it can't sync with PC. not detected by any computer.
I assumed it is the problem with the battery or the USB.
Tried to replace the battery but doesn't help.
Does anyone have the same situation before?
Should send back to SE for a service?
Many thanks!
Tigeron
Guys I renew the topic...
What are the current "hints" to do a successful Sync?
(X1 to Vista Laptop).
I get a ****ing Sync Error all the time.
So who does Sync here??!!
As for the first post, did you try swapping with another USB data cable to see if the cable is the culprit?
For the second post, did you try uninstalling and reinstalling (make sure that you do a "right-click" on the Windows Mobile Device Center software and choose "Run as Administrator"...had a similar problem with Windows 7...
AFAIK there are no solutions for XP and a couple for Vista. The first is the one with running as admin and the second I can't remember lol, but it gets posted every time in such threads. I don't think there is anything new...
I had such a thread some months ago and there were some solutions for Vista there. Check it out.
Great thanks for replies.
It's funny 'cos when I synced my P1 with Outlook,
and than synced Outlook with X1 all went fine.
Transferred all.
But I will try this Administrator boot of MobileCenter...
(when syncing Contacts, Tasks and Notes, only Tasks get connected....removing most of it from X1!
Happily I have amazing PPCPim Backup....)
Anyway I didn't use SE cable but a different one too.....
Well....
Why there's NO option to run WMDevice Center as Admin??
Guys, nobody here makes Sync?
Right now it's a ****ing piece of ****.
I can run Sync Center as admin but it doesn't change a thing, as well as running original SE cable. Fast file transfer works OK.
The PC starts Sync but finishes soon with error.
Of course no word WHAT fckn error it is!
While syncing it shows over 2600 contacts, while I have only 1333 on the device.
Really nobody has a damn clue?
I removed all my Outlook contacts and want to SYNC!
Is Microsoft such a loser?!

Yes but it is a SEUS problem, so a different thing.
Unchecking USB means Vista doesn't see the device.
It's a motherfu....ng crap.
I just can't put my contacts to my laptop in any way!!
Sucks so much!
I think it's high time you did that R3A update .

My x1a would ONLY charge with USB to the PC or when completely off - similar to you - couldn't wall charge or car charge with phone on.
I finally had it serviced under warrenty and it came back fixed in one week.
Have you tried creating a virtual machine running XP? I set up that once when I had the misfortune to have a laptop with Vista, it works fine & connects OK via ActiveSync

Starts to sync contacts and after 200 stops with the error.

Hmm, no, what's that?
Strange 'cos when I bought X1 it synced all data!
(Back in Jan 2009).
Is SP2 a guilty part?
Update the damn thing already lol .
The problem is that you have Vista installed. Get rid of it! Kill it with fire!
Also:
Win 7, XP, ME, 98, 95, all the earlier versions and most importantly DOS >>> Vista.
PSP's interface >>> Vista
Photoshop >>> Vista
Nero >>> Vista
My digital clock >>> Vista
My microwave's timer >>> Vista
A single LED >>> Vista
...and I'm not even exaggerating...

The thing is that there are people who sync having this system,
I DID it also. So there must be a specific problem I cannot address.
BTW Vista now is a very good system.
I don't get the rest of your post with this counting like:

Aha, this way.
Ok, I'm not goin' to discuss this mater and I don't leave Vista - it's currently a very good OS.
Anyway getting rid of OS to improve Sync with a mobile device is plain crazy.
(That would mean nobody makes this Sync on the whole Universe what is not true and even I did before...)
