So whats the deal with this thing? I was really hnging to get this and now that I've got it, it's just been one big headache.
I can't get it to sync.
I transfer stuff via usb (as a removeable disk) and I cant find it on the phone.
I try to send an mp3 via bluetooth and it tells me the device doesnt accept this file type.
Someone please tell me im just missing some small little step or something. Im about to throw this thing at a wall.
Try installing the cd that came with the phone, worked for me.

Hello there
As this is my first post here, allow me to thank you all for a great forum, with loads of help and interesting applications. You've certanly made my life better
I've searched for this but had no luck in finding anything similar, so please excuse me if there is an old thread outthere, and help me find it.
My problem is that I've primarily used Active sync to connect to my PC and have transferred much music, programs and other stuff through this channel.
Now I have become interested in using my Diamond as a usb pen drive for my car radio etc. and also want to use it to move files from place to place.
I change the usb connection type to Disk Drive, and connect the wire to the PC, and let it install drivers so that I can access the disk drive it detects.
But then I loose access to the 4 GB memory, and can only access the internal memory of the device. Neither from the phone itself, or from the PC.
I know it have worked previously, because I have tried it some time ago. But now it seems like it's broken down.
When I look at fileexplorer on the phone, the name of the folder just disappears as soon as the cable is attached!
What is wrong, and how do I fix it?
Needless to say the phone freaks out after this, since all my applications are installed on the extended memory, so nothing works anymore, but a soft reset and it's all back to normal. Untill I try the connection again :-/
As mentioned, there is no problem with Active sync connections.
I really hope you can help me with this, because it would make the phone even more useful to me.
That being said I DO love the phone, it really has the ability to do almost anything I'd like it to. Incredible!
Thank you in advance for your help, and for at great source of knowledge.
Best regards

It's normal, the phones switchs the memory readable directly from PC, as a pen drive to gain more speed.
If u are using the USB Disk function, u can't read the memory in the phone, bcuz u don't have "inserted" into it...
Bye!

Thank you for you answer, but I probably wasn't clear enough about the problem:
The 4 GB flash memory is inaccessable from both PC and phone after I plug in the usb cable (it disappears), but I CAN access the "system memory" (where windows is installed) from both ends.
So no, I dont think that is what I am experiencing. I hope this made it more clear.
How do I fix my problem?
Thank you for your help though.
Best regards

sounds like the 1st free drive letter on your system is reserved for a network path.
try to disconnect the network drive or map the USB Drive manually.

Draque
ps: Try it on a complete different system if this doesnt work.
I had tried it on 4 different PCs, all running XP.
Have no network drives on this one.
But, I'm confused now...
Because now it works correctly...
It opens the correct folder, for the 4 GB storage card...
And the phone doesnt crash afterwards...
I suspect an "Insufficient User IQ" kind of error... I just don't know what I did wrong?
If I learn more about this wierd issue I will post it here, and if you have any info, please post it, because I dont know what went wrong...
But right now my problem is solved! Hope it stays like this!
Well, Thank you for your advise everybody.
Best regards

I recently purchased a wizard/mda (tmobile) and have run into major problems trying to unlock and upgrade the device.
This forum is a wealth of information, but I have hit some major problems.
The main problem is being unable to unlock it.I researched various posts around here, and have not been able to get activesync working.I looked at various troubleshooting info from microsoft and around here as well and have not been able to sync the phone with my computer.
I thought that perhaps it may have something to do with the version of xp I have installed, after spending many hours (25+) trying to get it to work.I then tried on another couple of comps and still no luck.
I am beginning to suspect that the phone itself has a technical problem.I seen the workaround for transferring cab files between the comp and the phone, and am hoping that once I have a mini sd card there is some way to upgrade wm5 on the phone.Can I unlock the phone without syncing it, using a different technique?(perhaps bluetooth or ir?)
Looks like I will have to unlock the phone using an unlock code, without syncing to the computer, but I am looking for any and all suggestions that may help out. I even tried attaching files and emailing them to myself, but wm5 doesn't support attachments.
Throw a dog a bone, before he buries this phone!

Im not an expert into this - all I can give you is couple of general ideas - maybe something you already knew but I'll give it a try
IMHO flashing via BT or IR can't be done or could be very risky.
Did you try hard reset? No change? Did you try hard reset and then skip installing those cabs that are installed automatically after HR?
You could try to download software WM5Storage into your htc, install it, activate and then you can access your phone as USB mass storage device from your PC. I've used it with my SD card only but it looks as it could use internal memory of your phone too. With this you can check if the data can be transfered via the mini USB.
Does your PC see the phone? Saying something like "installing new device drivers" or something like that. Check device manager.
Can you charge the battery in your phone from usb?
Btw I can't remember exact process of unlocking/flashing - is it really necessary to have synced the device before unlocking/flashing?
Following up.....
Thanks for the ideas, MuF123.
Some time has gone by.....
I tried the hard reset, and that didn't make a difference.
I was able to sync via bluetooth using a friends laptop, but was unable to sync via usb on the same computer or on my own.
I installed WM5storage and my computer doesn't see it as a mass storage device, even though it charges the phone via usb.
I am looking at this:internal error 2356 activesync.cab that comes up when I try repairing activesync, but it was a dead end the first time around.(maybe the answer is deeper there somewhere?)
I really like the phone alot, i think i will try picking up some external memory, and see if i can't use one of those unlocking services to get it up and working with a local cellular provider.
Thanks,
Nacho
Hello everyone,
since friday my mobiles touchscreen doesn't react anymore. Don't know why, but it worked totally fine and when I took it to write a message, nothing happened. As you can imagine the phone isn't worth a penny without it's touchscreen, so I took an old one, put in my sim and am now using that one.
Here comes my problem, of course all my contacts are saved in my phone and there are several mms and so on, which I'd like to save to my pc.
Is there any change of getting them out there? I don't know, something like a remote control for my device? To use it from my pc or something like that? I'm open to any ideas.
Thanks a lot
Alex
edit: The leftovers of my device still work perfectly! It turns around the screen, when putting it on the side, opens the Windows Start Windows, when pushing the button etc.

My Mobiler (free) or Pocket Controller (pay) allow you to control the device from your PC.
You can use M$ MyPhone to backup your SMS, etc.
I suggest doing a hard reset to try to get your screen back to verify its a hardware issue.
Okay, thanks for your fast answer. Loaded the programm, but it requires to start my mobile in active sync mode. But that's nearly impossible to me, cause everytime i plug in the usb cable, it asks me, to start as active sync, disk drive or internet sharing. For bad luck the default is disk drive and I can't change it to active sync. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, that's a hard place to get out of.
I was just helping another user with this same issue.
First, please confirm you've performed a hard reset.
The only other thing to attempt is to load your stock ROM onto the root of your storage card and try to reflash that way.
Lucky for me, I finally had the great idea of taking out my storage card and then the disk drive option isn't given anymore. Thanks for helping such a dork like me out!!!

Ofcourse! That was a great idea.
It certainly makes sense but I never thought of it.
That's good to know for future reference. Thanks!
Mine did this once to me after I put in a new game. I removed the stylus pen which caused the screen to light up long enough to use the touch features. I was working on a doc file and REALLY needed to save it.. a soft reset and haven't had the issue since. Figured it was just a fluke so never mentioned it before now.
OK. So I need a good amount of help. I completed screwed up my phone. I was having issues with my G-mail account so I went to delete it. For some reason I was unable to. Told me I had to go into settings and reset the phone to default settings. I connected it to my computer and download a new Rom. I get a pop up on my screen and it asks me to if I want to format. I figured I don't need anything so why know. I had the 8GB SD Card and a different piece of storage for the important stuff.
Oh man. Apparently EVERYTHING is stored on the 8GB. Or there isn't separate storage. What ever it is I really really screwed the pooch here.
So I am assuming I have to install the firmware first. But that part I don't know how to do. I was able to install different ROM's without any problem. And format like a champ.
Can anyone please help me after you all get over the face / palm feeling. Thank you so much.
This can be deleted. I have fixed this phone.
Greetings,
First, let me introduce myself:
I'm an owner of Lenovo A7000+, have root access to my phone for over a year, yet, unlike most of you, I'm merely a mortal. . Anyhow, I hope you guys can help me out..
So, onto my problem:
There was no warning, whatsoever. I didn't do anything with my phone at the time, but SOMEHOW, I can no longer modify files (be it add, erase, or edit. So guess what, I can't use my camera.) in both my Internal AND External storages. I found out when I tried to download an attachment my fella sent me. I tried to make sure, of course, by trying to download a simple google picture. As you guys can guess -surprise, surprise!!- it didn't work. As it turns out, I can only erase and move my files using Root Explorer.
I tried to modify the permission, tried to connect my phone to PC (Which turns out, no disk detected by the Windows Explorer) as someone said to check the FAT, tried to input some sort of command via Terminal... Nothing worked.
So there's that, I hope someone will stumble upon this post and hopefully can help me (read: N00B), and I'm REALLY, REALLY begging anyone that got solutions to help me, so I can use my phone again and ride my bike towards the sunset.
Good day.
I faced the same problem but i finally found a solution by myself
