Hi
First of all try to reinstall Microsoft ActiveSync, than in the ActiveSync options, in your device, be sure that in "Connections..." setting "Synchronize all PC by this connection" is checked and below "USB" showed!
Otherwise, if your device, when connected to the PC, also doesn't charge (if you have this option enebled on your PDA!) there is some problem on your PC settings concerning the USB! Try to connect to someother PC to test it!
Ciao
thx...

hello there, first n foremost thanks for your input!
Before trying out your possible solution i tried to connect and for some reason i was able to connect via the device today...??!!
i really dont know why, but will try your soln if this situation reocurrs.
NB: this happenned to me twice in the last 3-4 months, n i never figured out the cause ??
any other advice or ideas gratefully accepted.;
its probably the same as me and loads of other people - the pins have bent on your usb connector - probably caused by using non standard chargers and usb leads. Its been widely reported. The non-standard leads have too much space around them when plugged in and wiggle causing the connector on the tytn II to bend. Try using the lead which came in the box and see if it helps. and try using the charger that came with it too.
Can bent pins be fixed?
Hello -- I'm one of those people with a non-recognition problem. Is it possible to fix the bent pins? My problem seems to have begun around the time I lost my original USB cable. Now, all the cables I have -- ones that have been specifically sold to work with my HTC Tilt -- have the symmetrical, sort-of-trapezoidal mini-usb connection, rather than the rectangle-with-one-corner-cut-off shape of the original cable. I should say these cables do charge my device, but none of my computers recognizes it as a USB device.
Help?
Thank you,
J. Georgia
bent pins continued
I should add that the charging cable that originally came with my phone has the same connector shape, so I'm not sure what's going on.
USB Device not recognised
This is known to happen at times win Windows, and not just for the TYTN2 but a myriad of devices.
The fastest fix for this:
Reboot ur PC/ Laptop.
If this Doesn't help - Then add in a reboot for the TYTN 2 also.
The problem will go away for some time.
I know its annoying, but this is way faster than troubleshooting for contacting MicroShaft Support.

Unfortunately this is no soution for me. I seem to have this problem as well, since about two weeks.
I use two notebooks (Dell & Acer) and both do not show any activity when connecting my Kaiser to the original USB cable. The device is not even switched on when I connect it, nor does this happen when I connect it to the (original) cable in my car, which did work before.
Charging works fine, both in the car and when connected to both notebooks, but no Sync at all.
I have tried another USB-cable with the same result, so I suspect some hardware-problem causing me to be unable to copy files between my notebook and my phone and worse, rendering me unable to flash a new ROM onto it.
Who knows what to do next?
I am mystified, too. USB Charging and audio connections work. I have rebooted my computer and done a soft reset on my phone several times, to no effect. I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center. Still nothing at all via USB. Once, yesterday, I somehow got a Bluetooth connection long enough to sync, but haven't been able to since then. Even then, Windows Media and AudibleManager couldn't see the phone. The really weird thing is, I can see the phone connection in my Bluetooth manager, but even with all the proper boxes checked, I can't sync. When I try from my device, I get an empty progress box which disappears after a fraction of a second. When I try from my computer, it says the device is not connected, but doesn't give me any option to connect.
Would a hard reset help?
If so, would returning an unlocked AT&T Tilt to factory defaults lock it back up? And what do I do if it does?
Please help!

I have had similar problems with my touch pro in the past, even bluetooth internet sharing eventually gave up the ghost.
I tried a myriad of leads and then eventually reinstalled active sync- which did the trick.

I've had the same problem with my first Tilt. There's multiple threads that detail this known problem. Some seem to be due to bent pins, some are general hardware failures (possibly the USB controller). There are some HardSPL images out there that have a "force usb" option enabled. This never worked for me, but it might be worth a shot for you.
...a word of warning....
If you end up reflashing your phone (via MicroSD) and the flash goes bad, you may be stuck, as many of the solutions for repairing a bad flash require you to USB sync. My first Tilt was a victim of this after a bad stock ROM flash that left my device without audio, and unable to flash via MicroSD.
replace usb board
you need to replace your usb board. It will run you less than $10 if you do it yourself. you can get the board on ebay
really? 4 years later?
i use activesync all the time, but for some reason now it wont connect at all, i can still charge the phone via the connection but either the phone or the pc doesnt see each other. Any ideas to the problem?
I this little program but have been having some problems with it. The main problem is that it will not connect to the Tilt. I have the Tilt hooked up to the computer and can see it under my computer but it will not connect and I just redid my computer this weekend. I remember when I was running NOD32 it was interefering with the phone's ability to connect to the computer. I remove NOD and it connects to the computer but Jeyo Mobile refuses to connect. It's perpetually trying to connect. Any ideas?
I've used it for some time, but never had any kind of trouble with connection so don't really know how to help...
For the last year I've had my Diamond, I've never had a problem (for the most part) connecting my diamond to my laptop via a USB cable.
But last night when I plugged in my USB cable into my Diamond, it said that it didn't recognize my USB device.
I blew it off thinking I just needed to reboot my computer. Turns out tonight after investigating, this is a common problem with Vista and USB's.
Anyone have a cure? I've read till my eyes bleed, I've done reboots, edited the registry, installed, reinstalled programs and drivers till I'm blue in the face.
Today I got my HD in and it won't connect either. Obviously I have a problem with my laptop but I need help.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Mark
did you try another USB-Cable? Maybe its broken or something
One of the reasons I don't use Vista
Put XP on it, but that would be an extreme solution maybe? Is there someone who has similar problems with Vista?
Thanks all but it looks like my USB connection is just dead at that connection.
I say that because it doesn't work when I switch cables nor devices, I get the same result.
Yet, when I use the USB connections on the other side of the computer, they work. Apparently that one USB connection died.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi guys,
I am having a problem with the wireless transfering feafure on my Z3C. A couple of hours ago I still could use it to sync my music wirelessly, then suddenly now I cannot use it anymore. When I tap the PC name in the paired PC list and tap connect, the phone try to connect to the PC but some how it cannot and just pop up a failure message.
This is the second time this problem happens and I do not know what causing it. The last time I changed my PC name and it worked again but just a few days later it happened again. Both devices were connected to the same WiFi and the pairing has been set up exactly as the instruction. I don't want to change my PC name over and over again, and I absolutely do not want to use the USB cable, so can anyone suggest me a solution to fix this once and for all?
Thank you
I'm having the same problem now. It's annoying. I'm resorting to normal usb connection now, but some light on this matter would be great.
Just checked mine (win 8.1 64bit) after not using it for some weeks, it connected right away, no issues.

Ok, I found a solution. I restarted my wifi modem and disconnected my phone and PC. After reconnecting, I followed the instructions on the PC Companion program and now my phone connects properly every time. Hope it helps you.
Bumping this. I have the same problem on Windows 8.1, and nothing worked so far. Tried with two different Internet connections and nothing.
Reseting the rooter - Nothing
Putting screen with 30 min timer and letting it work - Nothing, it always says it's impossible to connect in less than a minute.
There's nothing else running on the PC nor on the phone, so I really don't know what else to try besides another app like AirDroid or Wifi File Transfer.
Any ideas?!
