for getting it working on win 7 you need to install the android sdk and install the ADB driver from there.

If that doesn't work there is a magic one on the forum that works fine for 64 bit win7 :)

To sync with a mac you can sync addressbook with a gmail account out of the box now or you can export a group vcard then upload that to gmail so that sorts the contacts and ical can sync with google calendar by using calaborator :)

Will try installing the ask and report back
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dancorp:
fyi, HTC Sync for the Magic does not work with the Hero.

Is a new version available ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
I found that too :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gingepaul:
yep I've found that too, I run the magic sync vista 32 bit driver as admin, the phone asks me if I want to set it to sync mode, the cmd window on screen indicates that its found it, then nothing.

This is frustrating for me now, come on HTC!!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
That doesn't work on Vista either. You can see the SD card but the sync prog is never found (ie that 2.0.4 one you have posted).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
I think the easiest current solution is to sync with gmail/gcal Paul. It's what I am doing. Saying that, I am back using my Kaiser atm :D

I found co-pilot too buggy and I need gps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
Because the HTC sync is'nt working I just transfered my callender and contacts straight to gmail, and thats working flawlessly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Boesman1:
There's still google sync from companionlink, wich syncs Your Desktop Outlook to Google Calendar and Contacts. 15-Day Trial is free, after that it costs once $29,99, but then, You have nearly exchange capabilities (well not exactly to be honest, cause it syncs in Intervalls of 15 mins and not in relatime). Great tool, works like a charm, i can only recommend. http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html

How to get HTC sync work

Hi all,

I managed on how to get HTC Sync work for windows 7 (64 bit). I should work the same way for vista if having troubles.

How to get sync working:

-	Copy all driver files to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64

-	Install HTC Sync with administrator rights (By coping the files from the previous step, the installation isn't giving an error message anymore).

-	Wire up youre HTC Hero to the computer

-	Install the drivers in windows for your HTC device.

1 Push start button

2 Click with right mouse button on `Computer`, Pop-up appears

3 ´Click on properties. Screen: "Control Panel\System and Security\System" appears.

4 Click on Device manager

5 Search for ADB at `Other devices`

6 Click right mouse button on ADB and update driver software.

Pop-up "Update Driver Software - ADB" appears. (Not really sure the name was `ADB` but it is something like that, can´t miss it.

7 Click Browse my computer for driver software

8 Browse to the path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64

9 Click next

Driver is installed

-	The sync symbol should appear beside the USB symbole in the screen of youre Hero. Click on it and it should connect. If the icon doesn´t appear, unplug the hero, shut down youre Hero By pressing and holding the `end` button. When the device started up again, wire it up again and the icon must appear.

This is how i managed to fix it. Hope i described everything completely

Good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Not a great solution if you are on a 32bit OS/CPU.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Donge900:
Don't have the 32 bit drivers, but did you give it a try?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] christonge:
Cheers for those drivers Donge900, got this network sharing working perfectly now with Windows 7 32bit ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] christonge:
Very easy just install the HTC Sync program first. When your Hero isn't recognised as a modem and your computer fails to install drivers, just good to control panel on your PC and look for Device Manager. There you will find the unrecognised device, right click and click update driver software. Then click Browse my computer for software and point to the folder with the 64bit drivers... it will install and your Hero will be recognised as a RNDIS modem ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
I sent my phone back, so no longer have one ;)

HTC Sync only works once

Hi,

I Installed HTC Sync and my first sync went oke, but the second time the PC sees the Hero but only as USB mass storage device. On the Hero I only see this option and not the one for HTC Sync.

Then I Installed HTC Sync on another PC and I get the same, no partnership between Hero and PC.

What am I doing wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Doing wrong? You are using HTCsync, expecting it to work! :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NisseGurra:
Worst piece of **** software. -1 for HTC
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dicbro:
Some more info: when I look in device control I see at drive devices HTC Android Phone USB Device and at the top I see Android USB Devices, so yu might think that everything is installed right.

I have tried reinstall, didn't help, I think when I do a hard reset (soft reset is not possible???) that the devices see each other, but that's not how it is suppose to work.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Donge900:
I don't think a hard reset i necesary. Just turn the device off and on by pressing and holdiong the "end" button.

In the attachement you see what devices i have installed for the hero. And sync works very well!!! No problems at all
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dicbro:
I found that out yesterday!

That's the trick, very simple but a neccessary step to take. I should have thought of it! But it would be nice if HTC mentioned this.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dayzee:
Tried to install HTC Sync on my EEEPC and it was horrible!! Suddenly started asking for drivers I'd not heard of since I'd loaded XP on my Netbook and then Internet went. All network drivers were wiped. I had NO idea what the hell was happening but I now had a netbook with no bloomin net.

I had to search for the driver for my ethernet that the netbook kept asking for - it was where it belonged in the system32 drivers folder - then I had to uninstall my WLan and reinstall to get my internet back.

Holy cow what a nightmare - If it hadn't been someone with a modicom of techy know-how they'd have been well screwed. Tried installingHTC Sync again after I calmed down and had gotten internet back - and blow me if it didn't do the exact same thing again!!

I'm leaving HTC Sync Well alone. Its not just crap, its dangerous.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Archatos:
I wish mine did! I want to use my Hero as a mass storage device because I don't use Windows. Mobile Network Sharing is disabled but still I can't use MSD.

Anybody familiar with this???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MagnumPI:
Limitations of HTCSync

For what it's worth...

I came to Android from WinMobile and expected HTC sync to work like active sync... Mistake number 1.

The other problem is that I don't use Outlook for email or contacts so HTC sync is of no use to me...

I run Thunderbird with its Address Book (for my AOL mail) with Lightning as my Calendar. I thought I was screwed..... However...

I now have a link to my Google (which seems to be a must...) account - Calendar which my G2 automatically syncs with so that's sorted.

Contacts I exported from Thunderbird via .LDIF into Outlook Express then saved as CSV then imported into Google Mail Contacts which then automatically syncs with my G2 (deep breath). I had to do it this way because Thunderbird didn't seem to export a CSV which would import directly into Google... no big deal because I don't do that bit very often..

This actually works out better for me because if somebody updates the Calendar on the PC my G2 will pick it up... no more having to sync through ActiveSync...:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
Agreed it would have been nice. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the tip guys. :) My Hero now syncs with my PC. :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Same. I can actually sync, but only when it lets me! So, sometimes (occasionally) when I connect the Hero to the laptop it sees it and runs HTC Sync, but more often than not, it sees the phone and says 'USB connected' but Sync doesn't run and I can't connect for sync purposes, even though I do the same things as when successful.

Any ideas? Please!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ewans:
Do you use taskiller or similar? I found this was killing sync on the Hero, once I excluded it it was fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Nope! :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Mine can now see the phone when connected and the Sync icon shows in the top left corner, but it still fails to connect. I'm sure the correct advice is to reload the Sync programme, but I've done this four times now. Any ideas, please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Some progress, I think. You have to go Home > Settings > Applications > Development > and click USB debugging and it should work. I know I did this a day or two ago, but when I checked today it was unselected.

Now I just have to work out why it sometimes duplicates my contacts, both in the phone and on the PC (even though I have the PC set as the dominant partner whenever there is a conflict.) I am wondering whether this happens after I update my Facebook contacts and the phone then reads these as 'new'.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Okay, I have installed HTC Sync, and when I turn on Mobile Network Sharing, it tries to install a driver but fails. The device that is showing up in Device Manager (I'm running 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate RC) is 'Android Phone'

Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver for this, as I am trying to get Mobile Network Sharing working between my notebook and my Hero. Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Problem solved. I found the driver in c:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver :)

Now, how the heck do i know if the connection is live? :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] toomie05:
Very nice job worked perfect thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sausageman:
My hero arrived today, and I'm very impressed.

However the HTC sync software doesn't want to work on my pc, (xp sp3). I get the error "unable to create device manager instance" when it starts up, and it won't connect to my hero.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Open Device Manager from System, look for a device that isn't working properly. It's probably Android USB Device. Right click on that, select Reinstall Driver (or something), then point the driver detection dialog to your \program files\HTC\HTC Drivers folder and let it find the right driver.

Also, make sure that your antivirus app is switched off when installing HTC Sync.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sausageman:
There are no Android entries in device manager. I think that the error is telling me it can't add an entry. :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
If it worked first time, but no longer...

.. you are in my situation. Out of the box it worked fine, then couldnt get it to sync again, it wouldnt see the HTC Sync software even though it was obviously running.

The best solution I have found is to reboot both your pc and your phone, dont run anything else. Start Outlook, then start HTC sync, then connect the Hero.

The reboot of both devices seems to clear something so that it recognizes the running HTC sync, and syncs happily. Of course if you try to sync again, it doesnt work, you have to reboot both again... crappy solution, but it does seem to work so far.

If you cant connect even the first time, maybe try rebooting both the pc and hero like above, see if that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mevans:
I'm so glad i'm not alone with this problem!!

Is this realy the only solution? is this problem happening to everybody?

I abandoned HTCSync a couple of weeks ago, and I'm stuggling on with SyncMyCal synking Calender and Contacts via Google. If i can get the contact sync to work properly on that it will actually be a nice solution/work-around. The support for SyncMyCal apears to be a bit hit or miss.....

This is really the only issue i have with the Hero. It is a great phone.....

Fingers crossed for a proper solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gibarian:
Hey guys,

I also encountered this issue and noticed that once the HTC sync app ON THE PHONE has been closed/killed, rerunning it simply won't be good enough. You'll have to restart.

Also, Advanced Task Killer users will have to be very careful, because that program kills HTC sync, EVEN IF YOU UNCHECK IT from the list! You'll have to add HTC sync to the Ignore list. It's the only way!

Don't know about TasKiller, might have the same issue...

I posted a thread on that topic here

See ya!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmBoost:
Hi all,

The last two days I've been experiencing a really odd problem with my TD2.

Whenever I use the album to watch the pictures I've taken, I can only watch for a few seconds before the SD card becomes unavailable.

If I pop the card out and back in, its available in file explorer again.

This does not happen when I play music or do other things of the SD card.

I would really like to keep storing my pictures on my SD card, so does anyone have any suggestions to things I might try to fix this problem?

Hello,

Well, how to fix transparent problem on EnergyROM 3.0 (Manila 2.1) for drag button using hero TF3D manilla 2.1 V1.0 theme?

The theme is here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538826).

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Try putting these manila files in your windows directory. I believe EnergyROM has a transparent slider, like LucarP's, which disables the top layer of tab icons to avoid 'shadowing'. The files I've attached are from the original, non-transparent slider.

2. No Manella rotation (auto rotation), used change screen cab, working fine.

3. HTc Album no picture rotation even with change screen.

4. Used latest (Twitter), but previous one is better than this.

If Is there any solutions forthese problems? espesially input put method.

Hi

I was wondering if its possible to change the settings of the volumebuttons so that you can go to the next or previous song when you hold them down? Just like sony ericsson phones do?
[General Questions and Answers] Bilal_:
Anyone??????
[General Questions and Answers] Chef_Tony:
of course it is.

oh, you want more, you can for instance use a key settings customizer that grabs all the keys before the actual windows settings do and allows settings for press and "press & hold" or you can just go in the player settings, like in tcpmp, allow the player to capture all buttons (like games) and assign the volume slider to skipping tracks. and next time post in the right section.
[General Questions and Answers] webpatrick:
AE Button Plus maybe????
[General Questions and Answers] Bilal_:
Do you know any? I want to try a few to see which one works best.

And TCPMP doesn't work on my phone :mad:

Thank you, will try that one out
[General Questions and Answers] Chef_Tony:
yeah, maybe you should give a little more information, like your device, your rom, your country, how much you are willing to spend on such a program...

and why wouldn't tcpmp work on your device, i thought it ran on about every device out there. i saw it on coffee makers and atm machines ;)

but yeah, in general ae button plus is very nice and gets the job done, or spb pocketplus, but that has a lot of baggage and is only really useful if you want all of the features.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] H3PO:
Hi there,

I just upgraded to a wm6.5 rom with s2u2 preinstalled, so I tried it and am pretty happy not having to search for the unlock button anymore.

I installed the tPRO2 skin and set the same wallpaper as in tf3d, so it looks a bit like part of the system.

I've still got two problems:

I'm used to do multitasking, for example when browsing with Opera I sometimes press the home key and start word mobile or such to look up passwords etc. Usually, I'd be able to switch back to the running opera with the tf3d task list, but on this rom, leaving an application immediately kills it. I made sure it's not just the tf3d task list by looking up the running programs with the wm task manager. When s2u2 kicks in, the running applications are left alone. Does anyone have an idea what causes the programs to be killed?

Second, I'd like s2u2 to only show the unlock bar instead of the tf3d slider. This way, it would look much more like a part of the system - is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Edit: the rom is NmLs v1.5.1, i just found out this is tf3d2 beta. haven't seen any changes so far, but the rom thread says so.
