Whenever i try and transfer certain files i suddenly lose my connection.
I am using Windows Mobile Device Center and the file transfer part.
Strange thing is i will be able to transfer a 14mb file with no issues then a 6mb that kicks me and disconnects my device from my PC.
anyone know how to fix this or why it happens?
Tilt Phone
Vista Ultimate
Also is there a good FTP program that will allow me to download songs from my FTP server to my phone?

And by that not meaning tethering or active syncing. I don't want to sync my phone. I just want to transfer a file (58mb) from my laptop to my HTC Tilt's storage card via bluetooth. Normally I use the USB cable and the phone will be detected and I can see it in Windows Explorer. Then I click on it like a drive and paste the file.
you don't have to actually "sync" it. You can disable all syncing and just use the file explorer. Or you can enable the ftp folder on your phone(under bluetooth settings). After which you can go to your bluetooth explorer on your PC then go file sharing or ftp etc. Your particular computer may be differnt than mine.
hi, i have my diamond connected to my wi-fi router and it surfs ok (if a little slow). from the pc i tried adding a wireless device to my network (currently just my router and pc) but it wouldnt find the diamond. should i be able to see the diamond from the pc? i just want to transfer files between the two. ps the pc has vista and is connected by ethernet to the wireless router.
thanks, kristian
There might be an easier (native) way, but I use Resco Explorer 2008 on the Diamond - it can see SMB/Samba shares hence allowing me to access my network fileshares. As the Diamond is the client it needs to do all the work (i.e. I cannot browse the Diamond from my other machines).

I am trying to access the folder that I shared in the bluetooth options on my laptop via bluetooth. I have vista, on the Tilt, i checked the FTP option and on the PC, I pointed to the directory that I want to be visible with bluetooth devices.
I cannot seem to connect to it or find any info regarding the matter...
Is this even possible?
I simply want to share my "My Music" folder so that I can see it on the tilt while connected via bluetooth and transfer music to my tilt via blutooth without having to use my PC via the drag and drop method.
Thanks
For some reason Active syncronizer doesnt connect anymore with my PC and everytime I unplug the USB connection on the PC a window pops out on my cell phone asking me if I want to re-install Garmin Mobile XT. This is so weird! Anybody knows how to solve this without unistalling Garmin Mobile?
Thank you,
Sounds like when you are connecting to PC you are connecting as a USB drive. ActiveSync won't detect phone because it is presenting the internal memory as USB drive. Your phone also won't be able to access internal storage while it is in USB drive mode. When you disconnect the phone the internal storage is able to now be accessed by the phone and it runs any items that are set to autorun (Garmin has an autorun installer that isn't removed when installed) which will be why it keeps trying to install.
Thank you Kevlah, but what should I do now?
I think it all started while I was talking on the phone and accidently touch something on the screen with my ear and messed with some settings...
You need to check:
Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Make sure it is setup like the screenshot below.
That should then give you the option to choose ActiveSync or USB drive whenever you connect the USB cable. Choose ActiveSync before it times out and you should be OK. When you disconnect from ActiveSync the Garmin installer should not start.
If you use USB Disk Drive and want to stop Garmin trying to install when you disconnect from USB Disk Drive mode you will need to delete or rename the garmin auto installer (probably in Garmin folder - I can't remember where mine was as I've removed Garmin now - I couldn't get the code to work for Internal GPS).
Thank you Kevlah. It was just that. Somehow I unclicked it with my ear.
No problem, glad it's sorted now
I suggest just deleting the autorun file along with the directory it is in.. mine was in a folder called 2577. I deleted the whole folder and everything is honky dory. ( if you want it back you just have to run the quesetupPPC.exe in garmin/apps/wm/)
If you don't delete it ever time you want to transfer some file ( at a reasonable rate ) and you have to use the storage drive option and you will get that annoying popup every time.
there are no ill effects deleting that autorun and it's directory
I seriously can't figure out why I can now not wirelessly transfer files over Wi-Fi to my phone anymore. I've always used ES File Explorer to copy files over to my phone and now it just won't work. I've triple-checked every single setting I know about. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running Windows 8.1. It actually doesn't work on my tablet either.
