Windows7: HTC Sync/Drivers

I recently purchased a HTC Dream on the Rogers network.
I've been having a hella time trying to get it to sync using HTC Sync (it just won't recognize the phone). That being said I can mount the SD card and copy files to it with no problems.
Funny enough, when I turn on my Sony Ericsson K850i (previous phone) HTC sync on my computer pops up recognizing it, and asking if I want to sync with it.
I guess the main issue is that I want to upgrade to the new build, to fix the SMS timestamp issue (unless there is another work around?)
TIA!

Help me to connect my HTC Dream to computer.

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...

[Q] Connection sharing?

Hi
I've been using HTC phones for years now, always been on O2 and I've always used my various flavours of XDA to connect my laptop to the internet. I am at this very moment using my Polaris via bluetooth to connect to this forum with my laptop, that is my problem.
It it the one function that the Polaris does that I can't make my HD7 do. Am I missing something here? Surely the HD7 can do this, it is a pretty basic function of a phone so I reckon the problem here is the user.
I am currently having to swap my sim card between devices whenever I need to connect to the net with my PC.
I little help here would be very appreciated.

Actually, at this time I dont believe there is any way to tether the HD7 to a PC and if I remember correctly, I believe at this time the bluetooth on the HD7 only works for a headset and nothing else. I may be wrong so Id do a bit more searching but I believe this is what I have read and heard...

Feeling your pain.... My PSTN telephone line is down (taking my broadband with it) so having to stick my sim back in my water damaged HTC HD2 and with a stroke of luck and with the awesome windows controller 'MyMobiler' I can use that as my modem... Was a bit shocked that this was missing with WP7 going after the business (and social) sectors...

[Q] HTC One Drivers....

Hi All,
Had my HTC One delivered first thing this morning (ordered yesterday @ P4U and arrived in Saturday post so mucho chuffed with them) but I have a problem with connecting the device to my laptop.
I'm transferring across from an iPhone and therefore need HTC Sync to do the full transfer of everything to the new device.
Downloaded HTC Sync Manager and connected the phone. The phone show "USB connected" and "USB Debugging Connected" across the banner at the top but then on my laptop it asks to install the driver. Windows is unable to find automatically and when I manually set the drive location as per the HTC Sync Manager install drivers folder it say it cant install the driver.
I've trawled the net but can't really find anything that solves the problem. Called HTC and they weren't much help to be honest and said to just try uninstalling and re-installing HTC Sync Manager (which I've already done 3 times!!!) :fingers-crossed:
Can anybody help? Really dont want to regret changing from an iPhone but after 3 hours and still not being able to connect the blooming phone to get it up and running so I can have a proper play I'm beginning to lose faith
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hmm, reboot laptop, tried different usb port, you sure usb debugging is enabled? try unchecking fastboot in power options?

Have you tried disabling the debugging

What message do you get installing the driver? And what OS?
For the drivers on the galaxy nexus toolkit on windows 8 you had to boot into a special recovery mode to disable driver verification before they would install... maybe you're seeing something similar?

Thanks for the replies guys. In the end I gave up with my laptop after trying to connect an external hard drive that I'd used in the past and that failed to configure the drivers too...grrrr!!
Ended up borrowing my parents laptap and not surprisingly the phone connected first time. Still took me around 12 hours to copy all the music (using home share) in iTunes to get my music across to my parents laptop. Long hard slog but after a couple of days usage, 100% sure I made the right decision to convert!

HTC sync manager is buggy with windows 8 if that helps...

Don't rely on checking for having the latest version of HTC sync using the "Check Updates" from the HTC sync software on your PC. It's not accurate.
Go to: https://support.htc.com/alerts_downloads/en/HTC_Sync_for_all_HTC_Android_Phones
That resolved the issue of my HTC One not being able to connect to my PC.
Hope this helps.

I for ONE have always had issues with HTC drivers and Bluetooth. In my experience their Bluetooth kinda got a little shoty after dual core devices came out but has improved with the ONE. As for drivers been trying to get my device to properly install all day... Windows 7 sync is annoyingly automated and ADB crashes about every thirty minutes with it sometimes less...

Windows xp recognizes my ONE as a camera! Lol my win7 machine reads it just fine. Lol. How do i get it to read normal? Btw, im installimg htc sync right now.

i finally got my one to work on xp by uninstalling HTC sync, installing windows media player and disabling USB debugging then it was recognized after searching the net for time nothing came up till i read multiple forums and added the info together. cheers

[Q] HTC ONE not able to get pin from transfer tool

Ok this is a fun "ONE" lol I digress. So I got my HTC ONE on release day on Sprint. Long story short it was defective so Sprint replaced it for me and mailed me a replacement ONE. I install the HTC transfer tool onto my original ONE and started up the transfer hotspot on the new ONE and no matter how hard i try the original HTC ONE will not see the new HTC ONE's hotspot, the one named "HTC transfer tool 1234". I can see it on my PC and my chromebook so i know its actually broadcasting. Does anyone know how I can get it to see the hotspot? The original ONE will not get a pin for the transfer tool till it can connect to the hotspot.

What are you trying to transfer? I'm sure there's an easier way to move all your files
