when i try to connect to a device so i can send it says error, see if file transfer is enabled. how do i see if it enabled? im trying to send a file to a blackberry 8310
I get that same thing all the time. The only phone I was able to connect to was a samsung t-339 (regular old flip phone from t-mobile) I was able to connect and transfer and even go through the phones directories but transfering was a bit glitchy since it didn't transfer to the bluetooth/received folder, it was just in the main level of the sd.
I couldn't connect to any other phones. Not even another rooted G1 running the same rom.
any help would be great!

I know this question is noob, but please forgive me guys, I've just got my phone this afternoon.
I have done a search on this box and on the web but not found any solution. Could you guys please help me to connect my HTC Dream to my computer? I have install HTC Sync 2.04, but it doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in. And, by the way, can I connect to internet through my computer, like the way I did it with my O2 Atom Life through Active Sync?
Thanks so much.
I have download HTC Sync and follow the instructions found on the website, but I didn't see any notification shown that my phone has connected to the computer. So what do I do now?
Plug in your USB cable to the pc and the phone. After a second, go to the phone and slide down the notification shade (the top bar) you should see a thing that says USB connected. Tap that. Then a box will pop up and ask you to mount your phone. Tap mount and your pc will register it as a removable disk.
When you are finished, go back to your phone and slide the shade back down, tap the USB connected thing again, then click unmount before unplugging the cable from the phone. This will save the sd card from becoming corrupted.
That should be the way to read the MiniSD card from computer shouldn't it? I have done that and I still find that I can't make HTC sync work actually. The issue is, can my phone connect to internet through my computer?
The Dream is a Google experience phone. The firmware is built from the Google source code and nothing more. HTC Sync requires an app to be installed on the phone which I believe is wrapped up in the HTC framework. Our google phones don't have those frameworks by default so, we can't 'push' it back in.
It's included on the HTC Branded phones (Magic and Hero) so ROMs ported from those devices do have it included and of course the required frameworks. Thing is, hardly anyone uses HTC Sync, so the ROM devs remove them to make 99% of us happy. Sorry, but the Dream was never intended to use HTC Sync. If you're desperate, flash Haykuro's 6.0 ROM.
So does it mean that my phone will not be able to connect to internet through my computer, or is there another way round? I prefer connect this way, since wifi is not always available in my place...
Hey guys,
I'm not sure if my bluetooth is broken or what the deal is. When I try to transfer a file from my laptop to my phone via Bluetooth file transfer, it looks like everything is working fine (I get no error messages) - but then when I go to find the file on my phone, it's not there. I did a search for the filename, but it doesn't show up when I do that either.
Does this make any sense to anyone? Am I just missing something easy? This wouldn't be so perplexing to me if I actually got some kind of error message.
Bump...my USB port will charge the phone but it won't transfer files, so Bluetooth is my only option.
I noticed it still works for smaller files, and even ones up to around 40MB. But I use file transfer for Android system images, and this particular one is around 50MB, and it just won't work. Like I said I get no error messages, but when I clicked "Yes" when asked if I want to save it to my device, it just disappears. The one I tried that was around 40MB was a similar, but smaller Android system image.
My Sprint Touch Diamond no longer connects with a PC via USB. It charges via USB without problem, but it doesn't connect for Activsync or file transfer.
2 questions:
1. I don't currently have the Sprint device insurance, but if I added it at $7/month, then filed the warranty issue, think it would get replaced?
2. I can still access my 4GB internal storage via Bluetooth. I have flashed my ROMs many times via USB, and was able to use the bootloader to reflash it back to the stock ROM that I had saved on my internal storage, in hopes that would fix my USB connectivity issues (it didn't). Do I dare flash my ROM again with a new one that I just copied over via Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!

I am not with Sprint so cant answer that...
As long as you are confident that the file transfered over fine then it should be ok. Maybe try transferring the file over via WiFi, I would feel more comfortable doing that. I don't see any reason why either of these ways wouldn't work, how ever I don't like taking any risk wile flashing the last thing I need is a $200 paper weight.
Sounds to me that your problems are originating from the PC end not the Device. The reason being is that the devices charges via usb. Yes the device could still charge if the usb on the device is no good but its a lot easier to make sure there is nothing wrong on the PC side then diagnosing the usb connector on the device,
Follow-up for others who may have the same issue:
I can't get the Sprint insurance. Have to add it within 30 days (I think) of buying the device, and I bought it over a year ago on eBay.
I'm sure it's not a PC issues, as I'm not up to 8 different PCs (XP, Vista, and 7) and none of them recognize it, but they all charge it. Weird...
Just bought another one on eBay, so I may play with flashing it via a Bluetooth-transferred ROM. Then again, I'm sure someone could use the unscratched glass or other components of it on eBay...maybe.

Hi!
I need any ideas about how to approach problem from subj.
I got Diamond with screen physically destroyed, but phone booting up and can make/receive calls ok. All I need is get pim.vol out to restore all contacts from it. Biggest problem is that phone was set into StorageMode (Cardreader) by default, so it is not even asking when plugged in to PC.
Any ideas on how to make it into ActiveSync mode w/o hard reset and losing all contacts?
[edit]
More I think about it now, I probably can create 2577 (or whatever number works on Diamond??) folder on storage card and put autorun.exe (MortScript probably) into it which will enable ActiveSync. Can someone with Diamond handy find out which values in registry do that?
Thanks!
You could use MyMobiler to access it using PC, but it needs active sync :S
All the ideas I could have need to access the main memory.
Hi
I wrote a program which copies pim.vol to the root of the Internal Storage.
Simply extract the zip after connecting the Diamond (make sure it is unpacked with folders!) and disconnect the ppc. Wait a while, then connect again. You should be able to get pim.vol to your computer.
Its worked!
Thank you so much, kosherpig!
Its worked and I got all stuff restored! Awesome!
Extract data from device w/ dead screen?
I'm not really concerned about anything but the pictures and videos which were stored in device memory. (When it started acting flaky I immediately copied my SD card but I couldn't get it to mount properly before the screen went totally black).
So, the device is not mounting when I plug it in but it is sending/receiving phone calls.
Can I write a script that would allow me to "force" it to mount so I can see the device's internal memory?
kosherpig,
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! with the use of those 2 zip files, i was able to retrieve my pim.vol file from my broken diamond. you dont know how long and despondent i was over the thought of not being able to retrieve all my contacts...this def teaches me a lesson to backup my address book religiously. thank you again!
Could you not use the start key & d-pad to toggle to activesync for USB mode in settings & then using mymobiler you would have full control of your Diamond via connected PC !

Hello, I've got the similar problem as the orignal poster.
My phone is HTC Touch HD running WM6.1
The touch screen became unresponsive to touch (tried a bunch of stuff to fix it), but showing everything just fine.
So I settled with that fact that it's going to the trash bin and decided to figure a way of getting my contacts out.
The device is set to run in Storage Mode upon connection to PC, meaning it can't Active Sync.
I can't see any Pim.vol in several browsers and managers, from regultar win explorer to total commander. It shows Album.vol file tho.
I've copied the files provided and everything would be fine.. but the phone asked for confirmation if I want to allow running that programm. I would have pressed YES, but... I can't.
Is there any sane way to bypass that confirmation? Thanks in advance.
Hey kosherpig,
I copied the Zip files and extracted them in the root of storage card of my WM6.1 ASUS p750. disconnected the USB connection and connected again, No hopes for the PIM.VOL.
Did I missed something in this...I am in Serious Trouble as My 7 years ongoing contacts are on stack with this Dead screen phone..
Please Help..

Hello. I have the same problem here (can't click on "yes" when prompt to execute). Is anyone has a solution for this issue ?
Everything is perfectly fine with the phone, it isn't malfunctioning, no water damage, no issues turning on or anything, I'm just lazy I guess you could say. Basically, I just got a new phone (Samsung Galaxy Note - original) and I knew the day would come, that when I updated the phone, nothing would transfer because I would have to get a new sim card (the HTC HD7 takes a regular while the Galaxy Note takes a mini or w/e) and the HTC HD7 has like 0 backup functioning except the online cloud (which is next to nothing). I understand that the HTC HD7 has a removable SD card that holds all its internal data (I actually had to restore once on my husband's because his phone kept freezing, it took actually removing it to fix).
I am hoping that maybe I can remove it and either transfer all the data (contacts, picures, sms, etc) to a computer by putting it directly in the computer (rather than using zune or some other backup software) so I can then use the samsung program to transfer it onto my new phone or otherwise put the SD directly into the new phone and access the files that way so I can access and save the information I need directly from the card. Is this at all possible with a healthy card? I have a feeling its asking a lot (I'm thinking its encrypted) but I have 3 years worth of phone usage, there is A LOT of data I have to transfer, and the zune may backup pictures, but not those I haven't removed from texts; backup software usually compresses and will only transfer back to the same device; and the online cloud wont transfer (like the address book I'm pretty sure can't be transferred to any phone except the one it was set up with, but even if it could, I think its specific to windows phone, windows phone is like the least cross-platform compatible, even compared to blackberry surprisingly).
I have my phone developer unlocked (and have the interop available although not active because it was making some apps act up. I basically got my phone to a point where I could sideload a few apps and upgrade to windows 7.8 but that is about it. My husband's phone isn't however, and he is still at windows 7.5), not sure if that makes a difference/helps/hurts.
Any help is appreciated, or additionally suggestions on how to transfer multiple items from the HTC HD7 to the Samsung Galaxy Note.

The SD-card is formatted in such a way that you can't access on Windows or Mac. What you can do on the other hand is to go to your local phone store and let them resize your SIM-card.
Best regards,
