I think you should go and replace your hardware if it has warranty (since you have not flash it). tell them my phone USB connection is not working at all, and let them try it on their computers to make sure, am sure the warranty covers this kind of things
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChosenWonn:
Uh, you're talking about the error on your PC right? This is a common issue. (with pc's) Use another USB port on the computer. That is what I have had to do. It worked fine for both the TP2 and my Wizard before that, but ever since I reloaded the computer I get that error on certain USB ports. have not researched it too heavily yet, but I plan to.

Did you try installing the Windows Mobile Device Center?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kd8fre:
Did either of you read the post? It clearly states that he has done BOTH OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS!

Unfortunately, it does sound like this is an issue with bad hardware in the phone. I would suggest getting it replaced under warranty.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I'm having the same problem (vzw TP2). I've already messed with all usb-to-pc settings, tried different USB ports (I've had other USB devices that req'd that), reset my PC (thank you dogbert), reset my device and am currently reinstalling ActiveSync; though I doubt that's the problem because my BT syncs work fine (I don't recall being req'd to do a USB sync intially before doing a BT sync, so I can't really help the OP with that). My device does charge via the USB cable when plugged into the PC. Disk drive mode doesn't work any more than activesync. I also haven't been able to spot it on device manager. Uninstalling it there was one of my first ideas.

I'm wary of using a BT sync to install the official VZW 6.5 ROM, because I've read bad things about ROM interruptions.

I have yet to find by searching anyone who had a real USB sync problem (i.e., one that doesn't get "fixed" by resetting or something equally simple) who has actually posted that they found a solution.

@OP, when do you get a message that you are req'd to sync by USB first? Does activesync tell you or your device?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JoeWilcox:
I have this problem at work where the machine is managed. It just refuses to recognize the device. It's a security issue that we haven't been able to track down yet. I think if you look in one of the logs (forget which) you will see the actual error as it tries to load the driver.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazythunder:
just for the hell of it, try an older version of activesync. just tryin to throw in all possible fixes. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-28bf-4cac-a682-58d3233efb4c&DisplayLang=en

try removing the sdcard and syncing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tenaya:
RE: A New Approach

Thanks for all your responses. Sorry to take so long to respond to your questions and suggestions, I've been away (funerals and CES).

I have read extensively on this subject, have tried EVERYTHING everyone has suggested, and reached the conclusion that this IS a hardware problem, probably involving the USB jack itself.

At least for a while, replacing the hardware is something I can't do.

I want a BT sync for syncing with Outlook (Calendar/Contacts) and for installing software. I currently have NO plans to flash the ROM, I agree that would be risky over BT.

The error appears to be generated by Windows, I don't think it ever gets as far as ActiveSync, ActiveSync always indicates that it is not connected.

Despite that, I did try an earlier version of ActiveSync (can't remember which one); no joy. I tried Windows Mobile Device Center on a Windows 7 machine, but the results were the same: Device Not Recognized.

SO, does anyone know how I can force a BT sync WITHOUT first syncing by USB? That would solve my immediate problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fred_up:
Unfortunately I been there and done that.

The only workaround is to use a free exchange server - www.alol.net.br

I put it on my computer's outlook. Copied all the contacts and calender items from my default folders. Synced with ALOL. Installed on my phone, and synced via my wifi.

Not the best solution, but T-Mobile refuse to fix the faulty Diamond motherboard, but it works fine.

The first sync on the phone comes up with a error message, but after that it is fine. You need to manually put in all the settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Deleted member 1154637:
I'm assuming that you have your phone set to "Activesync" + Enable Faster data synchronization on your Phone, under Settings->Connections->USB to PC

Have you tried changing this to "Disk Drive"? Activesync can still connect to the phone and do syncs, etc.

Atleast this is my experience on XP. I've had the same problem on/off after flashing one particular custom ROM.. Don't remember seeing this on my stock Tilt2 ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drpal181:
Have you tried turning your computer Windows' firewall competely off? I read soom were that there seems to be some confict with windows firewall reconizing Activesyc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tenaya:
None of the settings in the phone, including Disk Drive, make any difference. I'm fairly certain that I've tried them all. None of the settings on the PC side, including Firewall, make any difference either.

The connection never gets to ActiveSync; the USB drivers fail to recognize the device well before that.

As I mentioned earlier, I have become convinced that this is a hardware problem with the phone, probably related to the USB connector. All my research leads there.

The approach I'd like to try is to bypass USB connectivity completely and attempt to sync over Bluetooth. The problem is that ActiveSync refuses to sync over Bluetooth until AFTER the first USB sync (and setup).

Thus my question:

Does anyone know a way to force a sync over Bluetooth WITHOUT first syncing over USB. Registry hack? Settings change? ANYTHING?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] darwoodcdn:
Quick note.

This issue started happening to me as well.

And here's the somewhat odd part. With the SD card removed the phone is discovered properly. The original SD card and another spare one inserted in the phone cause the this USB error for me.

Go figure.

(and yes I've tried formatting the sd cards, and factory resetting the phone)

Since I use ubuntu, I'm not really going to spend anymore time figuring out this windows bug. Just needed to apply an update..via windows.

Hi.

I'm looking for toggle silent mode widget which can quiet also multimedia volume etc. Not only ringer :) I need to quiet down whole phone. I don't want to hear music from games during lessons :P

thank you
[G1 General] tazz9690:
AudioManager is what you're looking for. Not really a toggle widget per se, but you will see that it suits your needs. It's great IMO.
[G1 General] kubek1334:
i really don't like sliding all of those bars [alarm, music, alerts bla bla..]. I wan't one button ;-).
[G1 General] tazz9690:
i think you might need two widgets for that then. one for the ringer and one for the multimedia since those are two different functions of the phone for it to toggle.

I have not seen a widget that will toggle two things at one time. It might be out there though.
[G1 General] kubek1334:
sounds good for me.

Just tell me where can I find multimedia silent toggle ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] radosi:

[HD2 General] mobrado:
sorry if this is already on forum..

so.. when i was recording in the club with n95, e71.. sound was ok.. but with HTC HD2, sound is terrible!!!!!

is there some tip? tweak to reduce microphone sensitivity, etc??

thank you very much. :confused:
[HD2 General] mobrado:
bump pls....

thnx
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Another bump from me for this :)

Older PPC devices used to have a Control Panel setting for microphone AGC or manual level settings but I can't find anything in the registry that looks likely.

I've tried using the HD2 to record video at both a rock concert (very loud) and a folk concert (not very loud!) and both had good video but highly distorted sound levels.

Apart from sticking some blutack over the microphone, are there any other suggestions?
[HD2 General] NoModE:
Same problem here.

With the n95 i had no problem geting good sound on my video when recording at a party with loud music. But with all my HTC phones i get crapy sound.

Is there any solution to this, exept asking the dj to turn the music down?
[HD2 General] Joribcn:
I know that this thread is old, but... has anyone found any solution on this?

I was in a Guns'n'Roses European Tour last night in Barcelona, and today i've been watching the videos. All videos have the sound distorted and useless, i'm very dissapointed on it.

I know that Samsung Galaxy S has the same problem , but seems that audiobooster solves it

showthread.php?t=758326

Is there any similar on the HD2?
[HD2 General] silverbluem:
not only nokia n95 but iphone users enjoy very good sound while recording

on our HTC HD2 it's seems like the mic gain to much volume and alot of bass enter the mic

which cause bad sound like the speaker going to ripoff from the device

any suggestion?

If you want to have an easy way to quickly compose a SMS, download the .zip attachment, extract the .lnk file and save wherever you want. (Preferably in the Windows Directory).

This .lnk file will lead to the sms composition page and can be substituted as an .exe in a keyboard config, or another program.

Regards to Fabliv for making the file!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I only found how to get into the SMS client. It's only showing me "tmail.exe"

I hope that helps.

Edit: ehh.. It only brought me to an account picker.

"tmailsms.lnk" brought be to the SMS client, but not the actual compose screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xredjokerx:
you have to put something in the arguments box to bring up the sms compose... i'll look for it.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MasDroid:
Hi Jaguarp,

you can try out this software that I just found, but i'm not sure if it's quite what you are looking for:

http://downloads.zdnet.co.uk/0,1000000375,39329589s,00.htm

I think it may be only compatible up to Windows 6.1, but I guess you can try it out and see for yourself :)

Regards.

Thanks mate, will try it. I'm planning downgrade to 6.1 anyway.

Cortado fax works ok, but I need software that can emulate fax machine in the way all-in-one printers do. This one connects to internet, sends data to Cortado server, and they somehow send fax with half an hour delay. I want to skip internet and send fax directly from phone. Anyone ever heard of such thing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
This project has been put on hold indefinitely. You will NOT be able to connect to the service.

Hi.

Shake2Send is an application I made that allows two devices to pair and send contacts over the air.

To pair, the two devices shake at the same time (Similar to Bump for the iPhone). No bluetooth needed!

You can send contacts, as well as files.

Pictures will be displayed automatically, and CABs will auto install.

Version 1.0.1 released!

Instructions

Download the CAB.

Install.

Enter a name (Be unique for each device!)

Press Connect, and then shake both devices at the same time (Or within ~1 second).

When paired, Press Send and select a contact or file.

Known Issues

1. File sending is slow, try not to send big files (yet.)

2. Possible connection problem... still not sure on the details.

...More when I get more feedback

Changes

Latest version: 1.0.1

Better Auto connection

Bug fixes.

Better error messages

Some new artwork (not that different...)

Some internal code changes (Dynamic DNS, etc)

Better CAB File.

--0.61 Bug fix. Not an actual release.

0.6 Changes:

-Bug fixes, including the sending error.

-Some UI fixes and improvements

-Instructions picture :D

-File sending!

-Support for displaying pictures, and for auto-installing CABs.

Upcoming Features

1. Advanced options

2. Better looking UI

3. Auto-connect

Screenshots

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFJtbIXp7cs

Notes

1. You CAN use this app on non-gsensor devices. You will need to press Pair instead, and uncheck Use G-Sensor on the connect screen.

2. You will need .NET Compact Framework 3.5 in order to use this app.

3. If you want to host a private server for yourself (or prehaps a group of people), you still can download the server here:

http://windowsphonehacker.jaxbot.com/files/shake2send_server.php

But you will not receive automatic updates.

Download

Version 1.0.1 CAB: http://windowsphonehacker.com/shake2send/

Enjoy, and give me feedback!

:D Thanks for the mention! As for that bug you mentioned, I'll check it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
very cool

downloaded the .cab. only problem- none of my friends have have smartphones. so when i get to test i will let you know. watched your video though- very cool.

thanks for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
I am guessing both the device has to be on the same WiFi .. is that true ?

UPDATE : Guess not, if using the public server

Another Question : How will the app handle if there are 2 different people with the same name using the public server @ the same time ?

Great stuff none the less have given it some press on 1800PocketPC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
If you WANT (paranoid I suppose), you can connect to a private server, but otherwise, the public server runs fine.

If there are two people with the same name on the public server at the same time... Hm, I actually think this might cause an issue, because the names are important in identifying devices. I'll have the server make sure no one chooses a taken name and patch it on my end :)

Thanks for the listing!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Duplicate names should be fixed now!

The server simply changes the internal name of a conflicting client and adds a _1 to it.

The "Me" label will display the same name (until next build), but when pairing it will include the _1.

All the technical stuff aside, the problem is fixed serverside.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
New Version Soon!

Almost done with Photo/file sending, but before I release the new version, I need some more feedback.

You can probably expect it sometime next week ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
does everyone find this cool app to work easily or are you guys having some issues?? My question is how do you exactly go about using this properly when say you wanna share a contact with someone thats isnt near you and say there at there house and your at yours?? please a little help would be greatly appreciated!!! I'm really excited about this app and the possibilities it posses like sharing photos and files etc!!!!! great work keep it up as im sure with time itll look better an better!!!! WM FOREVER!! :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhrc4:
looks great. Cant wait to try this out, as it will make it easier to send contacts/photos/etc back and forth between phones without emailing or MMSing.

Greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mhrc4:
so after installing this on 2 phones and testing, here is what I have encountered.

- the application does not save the username/devicename that you give within the application when signing into the server. Would be awesome to have it auto-connect to your server and save the username/device name

- on first try, works exactly as expected

- on second try, when sending a contact from phone 1 to phone 2, if phone 2 IGNORES the contact, and subsequent contact sent from phone 1 to phone 2 comes across as that initial contact that was ignored. (basically, if you send the wrong contact, and phone 2 ignores it, you cannot send any other contacts to that phone, otherwise it comes across as that initial ignored contact

Best of luck, hope this all helps!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
About the device names, I'm thinking about something along that line, as well as allowing users to manually pair with another user, by entering their name (For long distance transfer).

About that contact thing, strange. I'll look into it and hopefully put it in the next release (which will be soon :D)

Edit: found the problem. What's really happening is, after you send a contact, the dialog is still returning the same contact (Instead of the selected one). So this bug should happen even if you accept the contact, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ppkoeller:
very good, possible a german version ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I don't speak German, so I can't translate it (without Google Translate, which would probably translate poorly), but if someone wants to translate for me, I'll be happy to make a build.

If someone's interested, PM me and I'll send you the strings that need translating.

Also, the English app should work overseas, if I'm not mistaken.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
0.6 Released! See first thread for download and details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ppkoeller:
I can help you to translate, if is possible
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MRFERRARI23:
Glad to hear that you released a new version, I've already installed it lol and also that it's got improvements but when you said to be careful about what size cabs to send to each other or it'll crash what size is allowed and in the future will there be a no size limit b/c that would be the right approach :D KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND TY FOR THIS APP!! Question though, so now w/this latest version we can send stuff to other people that are at far distances and it'll work just fine?? And if so do we have to use it with the server on our PC'S to do so or is it easier to do then that if say were not at our houses???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
About the file size: The current limit is 10mb. I probably won't set it any higher, because when the file limit is 10mb, the application is literally taking up 10mb of RAM, which is a lot for a handheld device.

You will not need the private server, unless you do not want a third party server handling connections (The server does not store anything, not even connection logs), but some people are paranoid, which is fine.

To send far distances, just click Pair->Manual Pair, and enter your friends username. Then have you friend do the same, but for you username. The two devices will pair OTA and allow file/contact sending.
