Latest news on WMDC release

The Windows Vista Team Blog announced that an official beta WMDC will be released soon, so keep an eye on this site:

http://blogs.technet.com/windowsvista/archive/2006/09/28/459675.aspx#comments

As posted previously on this thread, this is the ORIGINAL AUTHOR site of Syncing your mobile with Vista RC1 via WMDC, thanks to Amit Bahree of desiGeek.com:

http://desigeek.com/weblog/amit/archive/2006/09/19/Syncing-your-mobile-with-Vista-RC1-with-WMDC.aspx

Most problems anyone is still having can be resolved by reading his detailed article. (Some blogs are taking Amit's work without giving proper credit.)

does anyone know how to sync with microsoft money in vista because i am not able to sync through the wmdc it doesn't seem like
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] politby:
I just upgraded from 5600 to 5728 - and now I have lost all of the sync functionality. My TyTN isn't even recognized anymore.

Trying to run wmdc.exe produces a crash and an error message:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {EE05EDE6-97CF-4D00-9B20-AD9EC0B45108} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceCenter.Program.Main()

Maybe I shouldn't have upgraded...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DeviLduck:
politby,

You can try this now: (or wait for new WMDC update expected this week.)

Is WHOS in your registry right now? If it is, delete it. Reboot. Go back to registry & edit placing WHOS in the correct place. (HKLM/Software/Microsoft)

Check Program Files on computer to make sure WMDC is not already installed. You should not see the WMDC icon. You might still see the sync icon though. If WMDC is there uninstall it & reboot.

Without connecting tytn to computer, Go to sync on tytn, Menu/Options. Delete any existing profiles. Go to Settings/System/About/Device ID. Use whatever name you've used previously for tytn Device ID for your WMDC settings. Soft reset. Check that sync/menu/options now wants all new settings. Check that your device ID is one you previously used successfully.

Connect tytn via usb. Wait a few minutes for all processes to stop. Run Windows update from start menu.

If you don't get an update for WMDC or an update sync file for tytn to download, then you could reinstall Vista 5728, & try again.

Supposedly, the official new WMDC beta will be available this week for download. Before getting that new update, I'd recommend you delete WHOS from registry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] politby:
Well, I figured out that reinstalling the driver, from the "list all devices" in the Update Driver dialog worked.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cybiker123:
according to mirosoft's website build 5728 isn't available to download anymore can someone upload it to the ftp server for me so i can get it i have plenty of serial numbers all registered to use with it but i can't download it unfortunatly and also does anyone know of a way to sync microsoft money using wmdc because it doesn't seem like it is available to sync through it yet
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mlai:
You are joking, right? Essentially, you are asking for someone to violate copy right laws as nobody is allowed to redistribute that without authorization for the mighty MS........ Besides, you will need one big FTP account.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cybiker123:
i am not asking for anyone to violate a copyright law i have had access to it previously and had it on my machine but my machine crashed so i no longer have the file to burn it to another dvd and my girlfriend threw away my previous copy when she was cleaning my apartment so i no longer have access to it and i already have registered serial numbers registered under my name either way thats not the big deal

my biggest question was if anyone knew a way to get microsoft money to sync in vista because i can not get it to sync at all and i need to be able to sync with my money transaction file

Vista RC2.5744 upgrade & WMDC...new Beta 3 available for Vista RC1

After upgrading to Vista.5744, On Sync Center icon on bottom tray select STOP ALL. I went to Control Panel/Programs & Features. Selcted WMDC & ran a REPAIR.

Deleted previous sync profiles in TyTN, so it's ready for a new sync profile. Soft reset. When connected usb, all needed drivers were found, including the one for tytn. Set up profile in WMDC & reselected parameters. Rechecked TyTN sync profile for accuracy. Sync successful & verified on computer in WMDC & in TyTN dialog.

WMDC seems to be working correctly with this latest build of Vista. I didn't get any new WMDC downloads when going to Windows Update, so it's likely if the WMDC version changed from 5600 or 5728, it was installed with Vista.5744. (I didn't download Beta 3 WMDC before doing upgrade to 5744.) This RC2.5744 WMDC is File Version 6.0.6008.0 (8/7/2006).

Also, New Beta 3 version of WMDC is available for Windows Vista RC1:

Features include:

Streamlined setup - A simplified new partnership wizard and improved partnership management.

Robust synchronization - Synchronization of business-critical data such as e-mail, calendars, contacts, tasks, favorites, and files.

Photo management - Picture management helps you detect new photos on your Windows Mobile powered device, tag and import them to the Windows Vista Photo Gallery.

Media synchronization – Use Microsoft Windows Media Player to synchronize and shuffle music files on your device.

File browsing - A new device browsing experience enables you more quickly browse files and folders and open documents on your device directly from your PC.

Enhanced user interface – A simple and compelling user interface helps you to quickly access critical tasks and configure your device.

INFO & Download:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx

Vista RC2 available to MSDN & TechNet subscribers. If you are not part of the beta program, you can download RC2 from here: (you will need to have a Vista RC1 version & the key generated by Microsoft.)

I did a clean install of the 5744 x86 built and there is no WMDC in there. So should I still do a WHOS patch in the registry?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
I DID install the WMDC Beta 3, and my wmdc.exe file version is 6.0.6526.1

File date is 10/3/2006 5:35pm

I still can't get mine to work though. I have direct push configured with an Exchange server. Would that have any effect?

Whenever I click on the Windows Mobile Device Center icon, nothing happens...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DeviLduck:
Yes, do the WHOS thing in reg, with mobile not connected. Remove old sync profiles. Going to Windows Update, with mobile now connected, should bring up beta 3 WMDC. Otherwise, download the beta 3 directly & check in your Windows/WindowsMobile folder on computer.

Running Vista RC2.5744---now updated to WMDC Beta v.3

When updating from Vista RC1.5728 to RC2.5744, I found that the installed WMDC version was File Version 6.0.6008.0, dated 8/7/2006.

It did require a repair through Control Panel/Programs & Features, to get it working correctly, as described in a previous post.

WMDC Beta v.3 obviously does not come as part of Vista.RC2.5744.

I downloaded the WMDC Beta v.3 here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx

I executed the msi file. Made no changes in sync profile of TyTN. Connected via usb as usual. It recognized & installed needed files & updated WMDC, but asked to stop sync (dialog on bottom tray icon), & stop sync with tytn, so I disconnected usb too.

Computer rebooted. TyTN soft reset.

Connected usb with TyTN. Went to Control Panel to WMDC. Everything is recognized correctly & works fine. Verified on TyTN too. Made shortcut of new WMDC to my desktop for ease of use.

Went to C:\Windows\WindowsMobile folder & verified that new WMDC exe is now file version is 6.0.6526.1 with file date of 10/3/2006.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DeviLduck:
Check to make sure you're using newly formed WMDC icon in Control Panel & not old WMDC icon from before.

Reply if that doesn't work as there is info at Microsoft regarding mobiles & exchange servers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
I went ahead and did a fresh install of RC2 5744, and everything is fine now. I did have to install WMDC Beta 3, but that was relatively painless. Apparently there was some garbage left over in my system from the last few upgrades I've done. Vista RC2 was very painless to install (20 minutes from start to finish) and using the easy transfer feature I had most of my settings back up in no time. I made sure to do a backup prior to reinstalling just in case something went wrong. The new backup program is very easy to use.

I can finally use my phone with my laptop again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mlai:
Well good for you! I just can't seem to be able to install the WMDC B3 onto the Vista x64 RC2. I have reformated my machine and even tried to do it in a virtual machine (VMWare). Updating from the windows update (Registry WHOS hack) hangs at creating restore point. Installing from a manually downloaded x64 WMDCB3 seems to take forever at "Please wait while Windows configures Windows Mobile Device Center" box.........

Guess it does not work with RC2 x64....

Hello!

I have installed windows Vista RC2 (x86 and built 5744) and I have a HTC Universal PPC Phone Edition.

I'm having problems installing Windows Mobile Device Center.

I've downloaded the drvupdate-x86.exe and installed it (with firewall off) and WMDC doesnt install. Only appears on installed programs Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update.

Then, Installed wmupdate.msi and WMDC is installed.

The problem is that when I try to open the program (either from control panel icon and wmdc.exe on c:\windows\WindowsMobile\wmdc.exe) appears an error message (with debug) saying the program must close!

I don't know what else to do! I've the same problem since RC1 (5600).

PLEASE HELP!

Hello Deiota,

When you go to Control Panel/Programs, do you see 2 entries, WMDC & WMDC Update as installed, & uninstallable or repairable?

When you go to C:\Windows\Windows Mobile, what is file ver. & date of wmdc.exe?

Once you respond to this, I'll try to come up with a way to get wmdc reinstalled correctly. (In that process, you'll need to dissolve any partnerships between device & computer, on BOTH devive & computer.) Verify, that the old WHOS trick entry in registry is gone, if you used it. Don't make any changes yet, let me hear from you on above questions.

Also, get the progy, free from Microsoft, Windows Install Clean Up. Don't install yet. Have ready to use, once you've responded. It will be useful to possibly see exactly what is wrong here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Deiota:
hI!

Thanks for your help!

"When you go to Control Panel/Programs, do you see 2 entries, WMDC & WMDC Update as installed, & uninstallable or repairable?"

Yes, see pic attached please

"When you go to C:\Windows\Windows Mobile, what is file ver. & date of wmdc.exe?"

See pic attached please

"Once you respond to this, I'll try to come up with a way to get wmdc reinstalled correctly. (In that process, you'll need to dissolve any partnerships between device & computer, on BOTH devive & computer.)"

My computer is with vista and I never made a sync (I wish I've had but I simply never could) and my PPC is hard reseted.

"Verify, that the old WHOS trick entry in registry is gone, if you used it. Don't make any changes yet, let me hear from you on above questions."

Just removed WHOS from reg. Tried with and without it... no result what so ever...

"Also, get the progy, free from Microsoft, Windows Install Clean Up. Don't install yet. Have ready to use, once you've responded. It will be useful to possibly see exactly what is wrong here."

Already downloaded, just in case...

Here is the problem I have when trying to open WMDC:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified

Please don't use Google Drive. There's a limit, and it's reached incredible quickly when you use it for these things. Use Devhost or Mega. Stay away from Goo.im and also Dropbox unless you have a paid account.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I only mirrored to G Drive as I didn't have to download a gig of data and the re-upload it. PS if you have a google acc (you are on android aren't you) then you can mirror a file that has reached it's download limit
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ohh, I didn't see that you'd uploaded to Drive, so my previous post wasn't directed at you :p

Alright, that's nice to know. I have a premium Dev-Host account though, which I got for free from XDA, so I'll keep using that one. It's not the fastest service, but it's stable and with no restrictions (apart from the 10GB per file limit), but it doesn't have any bandwidth restrictions.

My Wi-Fi occasionally becomes unresponsive. The only other issue I have is the speakerphone and the party on the other end can't hear me (acts as if it's muted) other than those 2 minute annoyances it's really stable for a nightly that's only been around for a week or so
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanHacker:
WiFi issues (Only for some) and no sound on speakerphone does not constitute instability. Those are called bugs. Bugs and being unstable are two totally different things. They're all stable as far as I know. They all have bugs though. Even stock Sense ROMs and GE Edition ROMs have bugs too. :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radixtrator:
I know I phrased it a bit badly... I meant stable in using it as a daily driver;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulG1488:
This will likely be closed but I'll say it anyways.... Regardless of whatever rom someone tells you is good for them you may not have the same experience. Just make a nandroid backup of your current setup and flash some roms for yourself.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
+1

How "stable" a ROM is depends how you individually use your phone. Also what constitutes "stable" and "daily driver" is completely subjective.

Any discussion of favorite ROM, best ROM, most stable, best performance, etc. are discouraged here. Its insulting to the developers who do a lot of work to bring us these ROMs for free, to say one is "better" than another.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radixtrator:
Yeah of course it is I don't mean to insult any developers as I think they are all doing a great job. Im sorry I don't mean to enrage anybody

Rom comparison threads are against forum rules. Best thing to do is to try them for yourself.

I just bought this phone used from ebay

the good thing is I talked to htc chat and managed to get an repair order issued complaining about a dead pixel. but I am not sure if it really is a dead pixel and I dont want to spend 7 days without the phone just to find out this is not a dead pixel.

Can you tell me if this is a dead pixel and I should send this phone for repair?

the small black patch on the grey line of the phone storage. upper middle area
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Obviously more than one pixel is involved here. Get a magnifying glass. It's it debris behind the glass or is it actually discrete pixels?

Either way I bet they won't come back. Pursue whatever avenue you feel you must to get satisfaction.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muneebrocks:
What do you mean they wont come back?

Either way debris behind the glass or dead pixels both are covered under warranty right?

Thank you for replying!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
I just meant I doubt they will suddenly start working correctly. If it bugs you and you are under warranty, go ahead and get it repaired. Good luck!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muneebrocks:
Ok I most probably will send it then

PS if it is just debris can I remove it myself?

Or is HTC the best bet?

PS I am not technically under warranty. It apparently expired on April according to one Customer Service rep

But according to another I am still under warranty and he made me a repair ticket. So I am guessing I will get a free service now even if I am not covered anymore
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhil.warlock:
If it is only debris you cannot remove it yourself. As the process to open an HTC One is complicated and cannot be done outside of HTC. Also warranty as far as i know is usually a year long. So if your within that period you'll definitely get a free service as long as the phone is in good condition. Hope it gets sorted!. Cheers.
