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.
Hi All,
Can I connect my HD7 via USB & see another removable mass storage drive being shown in Windows Explorer or Device being shown as Mobile Device.
Prior to HD7, I was using Nokia E72, HTC Touch (Elfin) and other phones. On all those phones, I could transfer file directly using Windows Explorer. But not in HD7.
HD7 doesn't even allow file through Bluetooh
Can any one help?
Thanks in advance.
hi priyarupesh
it depends on rom you have
custom roms now have app WM device centre, which allows you to transfer files over
cheers and have a gr8 day
thanks button is next to the qoute button
Hi Jhonny,
I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit OS on my laptop. I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Windows vista 64-bit from Microsoft & installed on my laptop.
I kept my phone in on state, such that it should not switch off display, does not lock up etc..
Downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center App on my phone & started it.
Then I connected phone to Laptop.
WMDC in laptop, didn't connect to my phone.
I tried locating my phone in Laptop's Device Manager and found it is there under 2 devices, Portable Devices & Windows Phone USB Devices.
I thought, since zune is pitching in on connecting phone to laptop, I uninstalled Zune from laptop & tried again to connect.
In WMDC in laptop connection setting also, I selected USB to connect, but in-vain.
Am I missing something?
yes wrong one u downloaded
i think you need to download the one that in the thread in the hacking thread if i'm not wrong.
Hi Ttblondey,
Can you please provide the link.
Thanks,
Rupesh
Your looking for WPDM (Windows Phone Device Manager). Maybe your searching for the previous WMDM (Windows Mobile Device Manager).

Hey could anybody who got the Chromecast, check if it works in Chrome on Windows XP?
I've read somewhere that it only works on Windows 7 and later.
It says straight on the box that it only works with Windows 7 or later.
They also say its only "supported" on the Chromebook Pixel, but I am using it right now on my Chromebook 550 with no issues whatsoever.
Sorry I don't have a Windows XP machine to test on for you.

According to support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3209990?hl=en it is not (yet). But it also says Linux is not, yet I'm running it no problem on Debian right now.
I'd say that it didn't, as I tried to install the extension on my xp machine yesterday, no dice. Running fine on Windows 7 laptop.
Hi guys, 2 part question for yas!
1) I've just built my new pc and after years of putting it off, went with Windows 8.1 however, Windows doesn't appear to recognise my xperia z and drivers down right refuse to install (even tried installing em via flashtool) so, how do i install em?
2) this might be related to the above problem, but my new pc doesn't charge my phone from the usbs, it recognises something is their and my phone goes into debug mode, usbs and all that lovely stuff works fine in em
Notes : I'm very tech savvy so fire away! Just never been bothered until now to learn windows 8.1 haha!
Phone works fine and charges everywhere else (even in my works i7 machine (also running 8.1 which is weird!)
Cheers guys
I hate hate hate Windows 10, and don't even ask me about Windows 11. Unfortunately that's what all new laptops come pre-installed with. I love my current laptop but it is just slowly breaking, the USB ports are erratic, the Wi-Fi drops, and sometimes it bluescreens and crashes in the middle of a session (hardware error). I found a seller who says that she can install Windows 8.1 on a new laptop for me, but I'm doubtful if it will work. The hardware may not be supported. The laptop is a 2021 model, I copy & paste the description she sent below:
DELL Inspiron 16-5625-R1705S AMD Barcelo R7-5825U/16GB DDR4 3200MHz (8Gx2)/512GB SSD/16.0" (1920x1200) 16:10 WVA LCD Narrow HD Anti-Glare 60Hz
LBL 300nit/No ODD/Win11 with Office H&S/AMD Barcelo-U UMA/2Y Carry In/4 Cell 54Whrs/MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 2x2/Mcafee 15M/Backlit KB/Cam
I really like the AMD Ryzen mobile CPU. I also like the full-size laptop, I need a workstation not just a media consumption device. Is installing Windows 8.1 fresh from CDs going to work on a 2021 laptop like this?
It should as far as I'm aware. The only concern is the drivers though highly likely it can work
Windows 8.1 cant be run on any newer laptop. I tried on multiple cheap laptops from 2018 to 2020 and all of them give bluescreen. Maybe with some patches it can work
I'm not sure if it will run perfectly, because driver support and windows 8.1 will also be closed by windows in about 1 year. I think maybe you can adjust some settings on windows 10, like download drivers on the official website, check whether there is a virus or not, etc.
