file sharing over wi fi

well i believe i have just ruined my usb cable wire
the mini end fell into my cereal bowl (with some milk left at bottom)and windows keeps popping up faulty device errors
is there anyway to send files to my device over wifi? like file sharing with other network devices?
i could do it over msn but thats annoying

I don't know about WiFi, but you definetly can achieve everything that you could with the USB cable, with Bluetooth (except for the speed).
Just tell ActiveSync to connect via Bluetooth (Menu > Connect via Bluetooth). You may need to pair the device with the PC first though.

I would also need a bluetooth device on my PC which i don't otherwise i would not have posted about WiFi file sharing

if you have it you should be able to do it by going into settings/connections/network plugins and map you pc drive to your phone,not sure on exactly how to set it up maybe theres something in the wiki?

You can find USB Bluetooth dongle's for like $10

bluetooth is to slow for normal filesharing...

have you tried the drive mapping option? dont know if its in the no thrills rom.

If you mean the USB cable is dead, it's a standard one you can find virtually anywhere. You most likely have one that came with another device, if not it will cost you a mere $2 to get one...
If you share a folder on the PC there are programs that allow you to map the share on the phone, but even then with WiFi the speed is pretty much as slow as with Bluetooth.

On the PC.. make you sure that:
1) You've something shared on your pc (in Computer resources should appear an hand under the drives, or in network resources you should see shared folders of your pc)
2) In TCP/IP settings of the connection to the AP/router, Netbios is ON
On the PPC
A)Make you sure your wifi connection is working well
B) Make you sure the network plugin is disabled
C) Use Resco Explorer, in the bottom right corner there is a button to map lan drives/shared folders, follow the instructions.
Elsewhere You can use the "network plugin, it allow you to share folders also with the pda... but i write/copy files always from pda, so i don't need of a shared folder on it (and relative service started).

Check out this post, there is a couple of tips and people you can ask for more help if needed.

Brand new HTC TyTN II will not sync with computer at all???

I just got a new TyTN II from mobilepc.com and i am having some problems right out of the box.
When I plus the mini usb wall charger into the phone it will only charge if there is pressure on the cord at just the right angle.
When I plug the usb cord that syncs the TyTN II with the computer nothing happens. Active sync does not detect the HTC TyTN II at all and the TyTN II doe snot charge at all.
Is this a common problem? Could it be the cord? Should I just try and send it back?
Any thoughts or advice?

I would send it back, was it a refurb? I had to do that with my refurb when I first got it!!

you must use original mini-usb-cable which come width htc tytn II.

No you don't. I use a non-oem cable all the time, never had any problems. The USB cable is a regualr 7pin so you can use any miniUSB cable.

If you've got two different cables (the USB and the wall charger) both misbehaving, the chances are it's the socket on the phone - especially if it's a refurb. Unfortunately most kaisers were built with a weakly designed connector that can fail, resulting in a lot of returns which are now being "refurbed" and put back on the market, but not necessarily with the problem fixed.
Later kaisers come with a different, stronger component. That said, the older version will hold up fine if you just take a little care with it - or at least mine has for the past 7 months.

Have you tried disabling the advanced network functionality in : Settings/connections/USB to PC ?
When enabled my tytn2 won;t connect either with activesync.

no doubt its the advanced network connectivity option

Did you try ActiveSync through Bluetooth? I have problems with my Tilt not being recognized all the time, and it's mostly due to virus/firewall programs.

This is exactly what fixed mine, but I found it more or less by accident.. Does this hose it for everyone or just specific configurations?

Damn I already sent back my TyTN II for a full refund. Problem is i can not find another one for the $550 price I paid for this one.
I am now considering if I should just get a unlocked Tilt.
Any thoughts on getting the Tilt instead? Same mini usb problems?

tilt doesn't have front camera like tytnII does.

Did you make sure the firewall on your pc is turned off or allowing your phone to sync? This did the trick for me.

This is how I have to sync. It was the same with my old Hermes, neither would sync with the advanced setting on. It would appear that the problem is with Activesync on the PC and WinMo6. I've tried repairing, uninstalling, etc ActiveSync but to no avail. Now I just live with it!

horrible problems with my USB cable and diamond

hi,
I think my cable or port on my diamond is a little screwed, active sync stopped working just a week after I got the phone.
I posted the problem here:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/...c502e361-e0e4-4d26-9ead-7f2680ff160e/?lc=1033
I got Nothing so far. I did all the active sync troubleshooting I could when I noticed that when I charged my phone, the dialog to choose active sync or disk driver shows up!!? As if i plugged it into a pc, also I do plug is into any ANY pc as a Disk Drive, it doesn't work at all.
IOW.. when I connect my phone to *charge* a dialog shows up asking me whether I want Active Sync or Disk Drive as if i connected it to my PC. Nothing happens after that, and it will not connect to active sync or disk drive to ANY Pc (tried multiple pcs).
What could the problem be? Should I try htc tech support?
Please help, this phone is only a month old!
Thanks so much
Gideon

Ok.....I'm not sure what you're trying to say. What's the message you get on your screen when you connect your phone to the pc via activesync?

I'm sorry, I was freaking out just a little while writing that. I rephrased some of it.
I get the same dialog "Active Sync or Disk Drive" when I connect it to my PC, but nothing happens after that, and it doesn't work on any pc at all. And its driving me nuts, to send a file to my phone from my desktop(my main computer) I have to connect it to my laptop via a lan wire, then send the file over there, and send it from the laptop via WiFi to the phone! ! =X
Oh btw, I've also tried other mini USB cables. Same thing.
Thanks so much
Gideon

What version of activesync are you running? Download the latest version from here. Activesync runs on all OS versions from Win 2000 SP4 upto XP SP3. If you have Vista installed on your machine try this link.
Would you be able to paste a screen shot of the error message and the dialog box?

I use the latest 4.5, but that does'nt seem to be the problem.
It doesn't work as a Disk Drive on ANY computer? There isn't any message or error, on the phone I get the dialog "Connect To Pc" dialog, I choose DISK DRIVE but it doesn'nt work, not on MY pc not on ANY PC!! ='( And just nothing happens.
I've given up on active sync, i've read every post here on xda and elsewhere, I simple can't get it working, I don't have active sync on my pc now. On my laptop with *Vista* however, the windows mobile device center manages to connect and sync with my phone via *bluetooth* only
Thanks so much.

Take out the memory card from your phone before connecting it to activesync and try again. Tell me what happens.

You cant take out the diamond's memory, it's build in internal memory m8, not like the touch pro's microsd or anything so he wouldnt be able to try/ do that
I've had active sync problems as well, I normally find it's simply the sh*tti microsoft OS's/ programme's problem & if you re-install or update the active sync prog or windows mobile centre if your using vista, it then see's the diamond again no problems & let's you then set it up correctly, so I'd try all that 1st before you go phoning htc or your carrier to complain m8

Had the exact same problem with my Diamond.
The fix was; return to reseller/change of mainboard in the phone.
A known problem with some Diamonds according to the technician who did the repair.

Humm, I ran into a similar problem with my Diamond when I bought it less then a week ago. Nothing happened when I connected the with the bundled cable though it did work at first. So I took a normal one (from the ps3 controller to be exact) and it worked fine, I've not messed with the bundled cable since.

Solution for me
Hi,
I had this exact problem, wouldn't sync with any PC/laptop tried all the active sync's and tried all the options in there. Also tried multiple cables and still no joy.
This needs sending to HTC for them to fix. Go here:
http://service.europe.htc.com/Tracking.aspx and book it in for repair.
This is a known fault that happens with these phones and they fix it without charge.
However, don't be like me and try and fix it yourself, otherwise you'll be £70 lighter. I thought one of the mini usb prongs wasn't making contact (as it still charged ok) and after messing about the little plastic in the mini usb port came out. HTC said I damaged it and so had to pay for repair. If I had just left it alone they would have fixed it.
Also when they fix it they should load on for you Rom 1.93 which I'm finding is making the phone so much better. Its worth the money I've had to pay just for that TBO its soooo much slicker now.
The reason why this fault has developed (that some people have said) is that some car chargers are delivering too much power for the port especially when plugged into the car charger and then starting your car. I've seen that the normal charger delivers 5 volts and 1 amp so i've bought a car charger that does the same volts/amps from here:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.688~r.53733725
I've used it once and it hasn't fried my Diamond yet. (it did however come up asking to activesync or usb drive when it was plugged in unlike the standard charger which doesn't prompt at all)
You also buy the official car charger which is more £££
You'll be without your phone for a week at least and you'll have to install your apps on it again.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I know this is an old thread, but thought i would add what i found as google brings this thread up when you search for this issue. I read through the solutions and through i would remove and reinstall mobile device centre. I found it had gone! Dont know why. I didnt uninstall it and havent ran a system restore etc. Anyway i reinstalled it and problem solved I think Bluetooth might have also been interfering.

I had even done the Hard Reset to Factory Settings, but no luck still having the same problem.
I have Windows XP SP3 in Laptop

Which Rom are you using?

I am not sure about that - How to check that?
Settings>> System>> About
Window Mobile 6 Professional
Original that comes with HTC Tytn II, I haven't updated the ROM.
I have downloaded this one
RUU_Kaiser_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.29.707.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
but not able update as I am not able to connect, even I try to do using Boot from USB - Pressing Power Button and Camera Button but no luck on that also.
Please see the attached images also, picture after connecting to the USB cable, you can see Mobile is charging and in ActiveSync (Which didn't auto started, I forcible on it) shows this msg.
Now I hope it would be a better pic of the problem.

If you're still under warranty -- SEND IT IN -- just tell them you can't synch the phone anymore.
If you're warranty is expired, take a magnifying glass and look at the connector on the phone. See if any of the pins look out of place, and if so use something suitable to carefully move the pins back into position. BE CAREFUL or you'll break a pin or the connector and you'll have to go to the next step.
The next step is to send your phone to a repair shop. HTC will repair it even if its out of warranty, and they'll charge a lot for it too. PPCtechs in the US will do it for a more reasonable price.

Seems the last option is to send to the service center, as the place I am in hasn't have any service center of HTC.
One more thing I am able listen full stereo songs using the headphone - which also connects through the usb port.
No option then have to give to the service center.

Not sure of the differences (if any) between HTC TyTN II and the Tilt from a settings perspective, but I did have the similar problem with my Tilt. Under Settings\Connections there is a "USB to PC" setting. I unchecked the "Enable advanced network functionality" box and the ActiveSync now works fine.
Hope that helps.

Yeah I did that ...(enable and disable of Advance USB)... tooo
I have a GPRS connection, by which I was able to share internet of PDA with Laptop.
Now when I am trying the same, its saying check USB cable., But through Bluetooth PAN its getting connected.

A proper search whould have confirmed waht one of the replies suggested. Check your USB connector, there are several pins in it and if on that is used for data transmission is bent/broken then it would cause what you describe.
This is a thread that never should have been, consider it closed. If you need more info find one of the existing threads about broken kaiser USB port/connector.

can I use the topaz as a modem (and some other advice) please

Hi all.
Thinking of getting either a HTC TD2 or a HTC touch HD
the general feeling is that the td2 is the one to go for (i am sure that apart from the screen size the td2 is better)
As i have to ditch orange (they have just stopped the htc thd) I thought i might get a data bundle.
Is it possible to get a data bundle and then use the phone as a modem for my laptop (thus saving having to buy a dongle)?
also, sorry about this, but can you confirm if either the thd or td2 will work with tomtom6.
If not i presume i have to buy both tt7 and a whole raft of maps.
Any other advice for a newbie potential owner is appreciated
Thanks

Use the TD2 as a modem:
- Connect laptop and TD2 by pairing with BlueTooth or using a USB cable.
- On the TD2, run the wm6 default program Internet Connection Sharing and choose either BT or USB
- On your laptop, right click the BT systray icon and connect to PAN network

Thanks for the prompt reply
sorry for being thick but i dont think i Have a BT systray
so long as its possible thats ok
all i need to do now is choose which phone and find the best place to buy one
Thanks

Better to plug your phone into the laptop using USB, that way the laptop keeps the phone powered while you're surfing.
When you plug the phone in, it will ask you if you want Antivesync, Data Drive or Connection Sharing. Just select Connection Sharing and all will be doodly.
TT6 doesn't work - you need TT7 (7.910 or 7.915) and yes you have to re-purchase all your maps. Also, the TD2 is not supported by Tomtom which means you cannot use any services such as Traffic so you'll have to disable them.
