Sync with Windows 7

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.

Usb no connection from seven

Hey all, ok so my phone is detected in all others computers but not mine...

If your using windows 7 you need to download the sync center from microsoft. It was originally installed on vista but 7 doesnt have it..

just plug the usb cable and windows will do the rest

Hello.
When in ActiveSync mode try to disable the faster dat syncronization; Win7 should now be able to detect your phone.
Otherwise try to upgrade the USB phone driver in the Device manager (letting Device Manager search the internet for the updated driver).
This worked for me
Best regards

My copy of windows 7 (64bit) which i bought on 22nd oct, didnt have the sync software originally installed. when i connected the phone for the first time it automatically downloaded the sync software.

sounds more like a not working USB port (driver issues) or a win7 RC release

ActiveSync Problem [USB can't connect]

Dear all,
sorry if this is repost.
i found it quite trouble for me, as my TYTN II suddenly stop syncing with my notebook.
it shown Microsoft ActiveSync can't recognize any port plug to TYTN ii, even if it can't sync with notebook active sync, but the phone still able to charge via USB port, anyone experience this before?
fortunately my Tytn II still able to sync via Bluetooth connection, but NOT via USB port.
Some recommended action that i've run so far:
1. uninstall & re-install microsoft activesync 4.5
2. change usb port
3. change with different notebook with activesync 4.5
4. hard reset my device
5. flash to another ROM via USB
6. etc
after doing all the thing, but the problem still there, only able to sync via Bluetooth connection.
hope anyone could give me a clue here.
thx & rgds,

What OS are you running on your notebook ?
Activsync for Windows XP and earlier
Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista, Wimdows 7

I am using Windows XP SP3 and using Microsoft Active Sync 4.5.0 build 5096
I also have tried into Windows Vista Home premium,
and couple hours ago I've tried to sync my friend O2 and it was successfull syncing with his device, and then I re-tried to sync with mine, but no hope
any clue really appreciate that

Try going to the "USB to PC" settings on your phone (probably under Settings>Connections) and unchecking "Enable faster data synchronization."

hmm, I've tried that before and still no luck,
do you think any possible hardware failure

It's possible that you have a hardware failure. However, that seems unlikely if you can flash using USB and it can connect to those other systems. Two other trivial things to try:
1) Try a different cable
2) Is "Allow USB Connections" checked in File>Connections Settings in ActiveSync? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just covering the bases)

it's okay... i am looking for clue not for arguing
anyway, i've done that
1) already try 3 different cable, the last one i tried is with two devices my tytn ii and my friend O2
2) already done that too, been trying uncheck/check "Allow USB connection" in Microsoft Activesync in my Ms XP SP3 notebook.
btw flashing via SD card is applicable because it's not related with USB port right
regards,

I'm having a very similar problem. I have 2 Kaisers, one factory AT&T ROM WinMobile 6.1 and the other running a cracked 6.5 ROM.
Two computers, one Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a desktop running XP w/SP3 32 bit.
About a month ago all phones stopped syncing to all computers. I just get a "Unrecognized USB device" error on both computers using either phone.
Does Anyone know if MS released a USB driver update that may be causing this? I have tried every possible phone setting listed on the web, uninstalled activesync on XP and nothing seems to work. It really feels like a Windows USB issue to me. Just my gut feeling.
Doug

I have one more stab in the dark. Plug in your phone, open the device manager on your computer. There should be a device category called "Windows CE USB Devices." Expand that category, right click on the device in that category and uninstall it. Unplug your phone and plug it in again. This should reinstall the device driver. I'm guessing that the original drive got corrupted somehow.

I had a similar problem as the original poster, and it turned out to indeed be a hardware problem. The SD-card reader was faulty, and ActiveSync would not recognize the phone while an SD-card was plugged in (Nor would WM5Torage work). Removing and reinstalling drivers did not work either. The SD-card was fine, when tested in a PC reader and my Touch HD, so I figured it had to be the kaiser.
I fixed this *today* by replacing the PCB in the display part of the kaiser. Part costs about $40 (Search for item ID 380187854526 on eBay to see which part)
The disassembly/assembly instructions required are in the service manual, available at a dozen places online.
Hope this helps! (Couldn't post links )

Tilt Sync problems with Windows 7

I'm hoping SOMEONE out there can be of some assistance with my issue:
I was previously running Windows 7 RTM (64-bit Ultimate) with my Tilt (WM6.1 stock HTC ROM), and syncing with no issues.
I recently had to update my PC from the RTM to a real (paid-for) version of Windows 7, and I moved to 32-bit Ultimate (clean install) because of other application compatibility.
My Windows 7 installation now does not want to recognize my Tilt via USB (says "USB device not recognized"). I DID finally manage to get it to sync via BlueTooth, but even after removing the offending USB device from Device Manager (several times), and letting it re-discover the USB connection, it always shows "USB device not recognized".
My laptop is an HP dv9000 (1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 250GB hd). I also sync to my Acer AspireOne netbook via USB, without any issues. I have also tried ANOTHER Tilt, and it will not recognize it, either. So the issue IS with the software on the laptop...I'm just trying to avoid re-installing the laptop again, since I already have MULTIPLE hours re-installing all the other apps on it.
Any light that anyone can shine on this issue would be great.

Reinstall
Reinstall Windows Mobile Center

Turn off advanced network functionality in USBtoPC if that fails then reinstall WMDC.

Where is Advanced Network Functionality (I appologize if this is a stupid question) located? I've been hearing about this as a possible issue, but I'm not sure if it's on the phone, or the PC, and where?

It's on the phone USBtoPC if not in settings you can find it in Windows Directory

Found my answer...
Well, it turns out it was a bad USB socket on my Tilt. It makes good enough connection to charge the battery, but not for data transfer. I got another Tilt, and I put it on the same cradle to the PC, and it connects up just fine.
Thanks for the suggestions!

[Q] Problem syncronizing with Windows 7 (x64)

Hello guys,
I own a htc diamond 2, but recently had to format my computer and installed windows 7 (x64). After this installation and Microsoft office 2007, i installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but when i connect the phone to the computer it installs the update, but does not detect the device thereby precluding their synchronization. I've uninstalled and reinstalled office and windows mobile device center, but the computer still does not detect the equipment. I already consulted the manual, but nothing can cause the equipment to be detected.
Can any one tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Before this installation the computer was running Windows 7 (x86/32) with the same office and all was well
Thank you

This is strange. I own a 64Bit Win7 Pro which doesn't make any trouble.
1st thing I would try is to connect the phone again while being logged on as an administrator, maybe you are a normal user and not allowed to install drivers or something similar.
2nd thing i would try is to delete all active sync connections on PC and on your device. then restart everything and connect them new.
3rd thing to try out is to deactivate under the "USB to PC" option the "fast data synchronization" feature.
4th possibility is to set up both, your computer and your mobile device totally new.
Cheers
Zap

Thank you for your reply.
I've run the installation has administrator, and i've the problems i present.
I will follow itch one of your advices trying to solve this problem.
At last if any one don't work i will try the EubeniaUSB or the drivers of the Active Sinc x64 that i've found on two post at the xda forum. (This will work? )
Thank you.

I had the same problem to start with i would suggest doing what i did and find/replace the usb cable as that was what was at fault on mine - these cables are quite cheap and the pins move too easily inside . Try changing to a different or new cable and see what happens
