OK, I searched and searched, followed all the MS instructions and I cannot get VISTA ( Biz edition ) to connect to my (HTC branded) Kaiser.
The "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote adapter" driver does show up under Network Adapter in Device Manager but WMDC is oblivious to the USB attached device...
Any ideas ?
I remember the first time I connected mine in the exact same setup it took like 10 minutes to find it.
Try running windows update with your kaiser plugged in. If your missing a driver or something it should be able to find and install it.
Sorry guys,
My mistake .. did not have USB connection enabled on Activesync on the phone.
Thanks for your help!
Hiya got a Touch Diamond yesterday, first smartphone and very pleased with it. Only issue is getting Windows Mobile Device Centre working on Vista, using a 64 bit version, it comes up with found new hardware after I've plugged it in and loads Windows Mobile Remote Adapter driver for it, then nothing. If I open WMDC it says not connected. Set it up for active sync, all the right boxes are ticked and running 64 bit version of WMDC. One thing I did notice was when I tried this on a laptop at work running 32 bit Vista was after it installed the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter driver, it then installed the HTC Touch Diamond driver, which my PC doesn't.
My suspicions are that there isn't a 64 bit driver available for the phone, anyone else had the same problem or managed to sort it?

HI i have vista x64 SP1 and no problems with my diamond...
here a screenshot about diamond drivers on my pc
http://img402.imageshack.us/my.php?image=driversdiamondph8.jpg
if you have any problems i will post you my drivers
With Vista 64bits sp1 I've only a bug with icon : I cannot have diamond's icon, just generic, but no problem with activesync !!!
Weird, my OS must be playing up then, have installed WMDC from 2 different sources now, strange. If you could send me those drivers SMASH1902 it would be much appreciated
I'm also using Vista 64 bits Ultimate with SP1 and no problems so far. It even shows a beatiful pic of the Diamond

tell me if you have any problems
Same version as me, Ultimate SP1, like I said had it working on the 32 bit laptop at work, icon and all in Computer (does look very nice), cannot for the life of me work out what's causing the problem
Also having no problems, on Vista SP1 x64.
Cheers SMASH1902, unfortunately no change, added thm to system 32, had 2 of the 3 already, plugged the TD back in and choose active sync and nothing, starting to do my head in.
Here's a link to a screen shot of my Device Manager atm if it helps http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/runebinder/dev.jpg

uhm...have you just tried to change usb port?
Yup tried 3 different one's, still not connecting
I'm on Vista 64 ultimate SP1, and my problem is that my diamond can connect to my computer (WMDC show the device picture), but it tell me that there's a probleme with connection (unplug, replug, blah blah...).
So I can acces my device, but can't synchronize with outlook.
If I uninstall the device under device manager, it seems that Vista can't find or install Generic RNDIS driver... I can see the icon in the taskbar turning and turning, but never stops...
Just a thought, don't know if this has any bearing on anything, but as it installs as a network adapter does it have an APIPA IP address (starts 169.254), on the machine's that are synced properly?
Works here on vista64
How about making a new activesync profile on the vista64 pc? Should work. Connect, then create activesync profile.
How do you do that?
vista x64 sp1 & new Diamond 30/07. phone wouldn't connect a couple of times but seems to be behaving now.
Here's my devices complete with a missing driver XD
http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s336/cowhopper/myputer.jpg
Found out the culprit in the end, using AVG IS and found that if the AVG firewall was active when I first connected the diamond (found this out via a couple of reinstalls), then the system would not detect it after installing the mobile adapter. If I then turned off the firewall it wouldn't look for new hardware and nothing was listed in Device manager. Tried connecting the diamond up before installing AVG and synced first time, however whenever the AVG firewall is on it will lose sync, can get it to resync now though if I turn it off and use the windows firewall.
Have tried what is suggested on the support FAQs on their site but now the firewall won't turn back on!
Managed to get AVG firewall restarted and now it's syncing fine. In case anybody needs the fix;
* Open AVG.
* Open menu Tools -> Firewall settings.
* Expand the profile you are using from the Profiles section.
* Select the Applications item.
* In the Applications double click on the Various System Services application.
* Click the Add button in the section Application detail rules.
* Click Move up button until the new detail (e.g. '13') is in the first place of the list.
* In the section Defined services please tick the ActiveSync service.
* Select Allow for all under the Detail action option.
* Confirm the new configuration by clicking the OK button.
LIFESAVER!! Thanks very much!!
Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.
Hey can someone help me connect my htc diamond to windows 7...

Hey, I had the same problem. The drivers that come with the phone are x86, not x64, so you need to go to:
<br>microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6eb8d0aa-bc6b-4864-8ffe-dc26e1d9f843&displaylang=en
It's the 64 bit version of Windows Mobile Device Centre. The drivers don't come from HTC, they come from Microsoft.
The Diamond should connect without installing anything. W7 downloads drivers automatically. I'm using W7 Ultimate 32 and 64 bit versions and have no problem connecting my PDAs (W7 RC and RTM) through USB or BT.
same prob.em...but resolved
in win 7 32: just restart the device(htc) until will be recognized.maybe 1-2 soft reset.hope u have succes.

Hi albyXR! Congratulations for your purchase, I am sure that in time you will enjoy it!
Only the 3G modem connection can be activated alternatively from both WinMo and Win7.
Wifi and BT can be activated and work only on Win7 side. You need to activate them in the Shift Control Center, look for it. I use winXP so can't tell you exactly for Win7.
Is the winmob side of the Shift "liberated" or you only can see the SnapVue interface? It is easy to liberate the Shift, do a search for that on this forum, and only then you will enjoy (nearly) all the features of winmob 6.0. Of course the RAM size is quite low, you will not be able to install lots of wm applications. Now with SnapVue you can't install anything at all.
If you'll decide you want more, then you'll have to go for a coocked rom and install it. It will bring you preinstalled applications, plus phone (only through the speaker) and GPS (running on wm in combination with win7).
The HTC Shift is an unfinished job on the winmob side, so it doesn't work with wifi, BT or SD card, only the 3G modem. You can also sync wm via internal usb with the w7 side.
USB and Ethernet are accessible from outside only to the w7 part, not at all to wm.
I hope that I managed to give you an overview on the capabilities of the Shift.
The rest is up to you, but to be successful you have to do your good part of the reading on this forum. You will come to a neat little tool that you will enjoy much.
Good luck.
Hi!
In the official website you can download the wifi driver and reinstall it if needed. Reinstall control center (shagctrl) too if you want.
After that, in win7 side, press the control center button (top-right) and connect wifi. It should work...
but also if i have win7 on my hct shift i can install the driver?the driver are not only for win vista? what is the right link for install the support? and another one things..i had set all of the sound to max but i can't hear any sound from the shift..also if i go on youtube or simply for sistem click..help!! and thanks a lot to everyone!

Need to reinstall driver sound too?
I think you should reinstall all drivers...
Don't worry for the compatibility with vista. The right way is to install as administrator and, very important, with vista compatibility. You know, left mouse clic on driver file (normally setup) , properties, compatibility and choose executing with vista compatibility. It's all.
Install all the drivers in exact order as you will find in the official page, and I recommend you to restart the computer after each driver. If you want, you can check the driver version before.
When you finish, your shift should work well.
Good Luck!

WinXP Tablet PC should be only a little bit faster than Win7, which is much faster than Vista on the stock HPC Shift. The slowest links are the HDD and the RAM, you could replace them both, the HDD with an SSD and upgrading the RAM to 2 GB, please see the posts of RSargeant.
If you decide to skip the XP Tablet PC features (you've got keyboard after all), then with XP Home it will become even faster.
My start-up timings:
2min:30 sec with XP Tablet PC from power up to wifi on
1min:30 sec with XP Home from power up to wifi on
Can't speak for Win7, but for Vista it was nearly 5 min!!!

My shift with ssd and 2gb, starts in 1 min aprox, and works fine all the time. However, there are a problem with TRIM compatibility with this new kind of disk. I don't now exactly what is it, but there are some instructions to fix this problem.
See you.
Hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my bad English. I purchased a shift from a few days and I installed Win7 following the instructions in this excellent forum. And 'everything went well. When I inserted the SIM card is installed Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. This driver has locked the WiFi card, I read in another forum that the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device and Marwell SDIO Wireless LAN Adapter sd 8686 problems of incompatibility.
How can I do?
I wanted to uninstall Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device, but I do not know how.
Thank you for your help.
