I'm having problems when syncing between wm6 and vista. I have a liberated WMo with Gullums new ROM.
The only time I managed to sync was the first time. When I connect using USB tool it connects as it should but it stops in the middle of the syncronization. Vista and WMo tells me that the syncronization was stopped, but I didn't stop anything.
I use a simcard and 3G so Joy.d gave me advice that I should soft reset WMo and don't enable 3G. I tried this but it didn't help.
Does anyone have some other suggestions?
Thanks
i always click "disconnect from vista" then "connect to vista" rather than just "connect to vista" I have found this to be more stable .. no idea why :S

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure what you mean.
Where is this option?
Ok, got it!
You mean in the USB tool?
I tried this too, but it didn't help.
its a strange problem
Hi mate
issue could also be on device centres end as well.
Try to uninstall device centre restart your machine and snapview
and then reinstall device centre
may fix the problem may not- hopefully it does.
I think with gullum rom, you must off your modem in communication manager to syncronization using USB tool

Well...it's from yesterday that i can't connect my pda via activesync...
i tryed everything in the M$ troubleshoot...
and now i'm out of ideas!
the cable is ok...
i don't know what to try now!
upupupupup
Any errors or anything? We don't have magic crystal ball
sorry, i'm getting too mad to write è_é
anyway...
zero errors...
the PC attempts to connect and remains in "connecting..." phase while the Kaiser is only charging
maybe the activesync is not enabled in the comm manager? give that a try
and you're right...
it shows the activesync icon with a little x...
but if i command it to sync it displays the bar for a second and then nothing happens...
now i'm on another pc...
i installed activesync here for the first time and it's doing the same as on my pc!
at this point it's kaiser's fault for sure!!!
but how do i solve this? hard-reset? i wanted another option
up again!!!!
Maybe the solve:
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC -> Disable Advenced network functionality
Sorry for my bad English
Feka
already tryed hours ago...nothing!
i'm about to think that the only way to get results is the hard reset...
Is the USB connection active in ActiveSync on your PC?
of course it is!
well...too bad!
i'm making a full backup with spb's utility...and after i'll WIPE the device

Click start, go to accesories/system tools/system restore and restore your pc to the time where it worked activesync. Once it works make a restore point.
I tryed also that!
It was only fault of the pda...after a good hard reset everything works again!
I recently got a new PC with Vista Ultimat. Synchronizing the phone has been a nitemare.
If i hook the phone up, the computer beeps in recognition; I can even browse files on the phone sometimes. But ActiveSynch says I'm disconnected, the phone says I'm connected.
I find the only way I can get the synch to happen is to install MS Mobile Device Center 6.1 . I have the phone hooked up during the install, and during the install the phone is recognized and it will synch.
Any ideas on improving this. I"m surprised I didn't find this and a solution already out here (maybe using wrong search terms.).
Thanks

Thansk for pointing that out, but it didn't help.
And, interestingly, even reinstalling WMDC doesn't always work either.
What rom are you using? I had problems synching when I flashed Garmin dk2 rom. But all others work fine.
Try this, it worked for me.
Go to start<<settings<<connections tab. Then select the USB to PC icon. Uncheck enable advanced network functionality. Restart PPC and then try to re-sync.
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

I've once had the issues of not able to connect my Windows Mobile device with vista too, and it can get very annoying.. good luck with it.
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?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-troubleshooting.mspx
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...
Please could anyone help me! The windows mobile device centre suddenly stopped to recognize my Compact IV! It just says Not connected... I tried several things such as Connect with Active sync or Disc Drive (on the phone), unticked 'enable advanced network funcitionality, disabled Norton security, reinstalled the mobile device centre... always rebooting the Vista. It still wont connect!!! Anyone with more ideas to try?
I can access the internal storage from Vista, but I as its not connected with the mobile device centre, it doenst allow me to sync and install any exe files!
Appreciate any help (and I have searched forums, yes) Thanks
did you try to softreset and or hardreset your diamond ?
which version is your? my wmdc is 6.1 and working, the older didn't...
The same thing happens to me. I have to reboot my computer and soft reset my phone and then try again, and it works. I'm using version 6.1.6965 of WMDC.
tried many times
Thanks guys, but doesnt seem to help. Tried rebooting PC and the phone, still no luck. Even tried different USB ports!
Any idea could still try? Its so frustrating!!
I have the same problem but I sync to Vista using bluetooth instead of using the lead as it works every time. I gave up trying to sync using the lead.
help needed still
Bluetooth is so slow... Really want the USB cable connection to work. Apprecieate anyone could help! Please?! Tried with different cable but didnt help. Frustrating!
Hello,
I'm having this problem I can't seem to get solved.
I connected my Touch Diamond through the USB cable and cant see it connected in the Windows Mobile Device Center, but everytime I click "configure device" it says "There is a problem with your connection, please reconnect and retry."
I cant get this solved, I tried a lot of stuff I found here on the forum and others, but it still won't work.
Anyone any idea?
My OS: Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Im running the latest WMDC as well.
Thank you!!!!
Sync issue...
Some of these questions may seem obvious, so I apologise if you've already tried these, but have you done a soft-reset on your device and rebooted your PC? Do you have any other devices set up in Device Centre that may be causing a conflict? Are you using the correct version of WMDC for your OS? The last resort is to try a hard-reset on your device... not pleasant, but can correct a multitude of issues
I will try all, I hope I dont have to do a hard reset, I just configured it -.-
I've had issues like this.
Check if Advanced Networking is switched on in the USB settings on the device. Turn it off if it's on. That should let you set up the sync. You can turn it back on later.
Thanks Shark, but I already gave that a try :s
