You can always "force" a sync by launching ActiveSync and tap on "Sync" on the bottom left (you shouldn't have to do this as ActiveSync is "supposed" to do the sync automatically if it detects a change but I just do so to make sure). I usually do this before I boot to Android so that if I had added a contact, added a calendar event, etc, recently it'll update my google account so that when I'm in Android, it will sync those updates.

Also I forgot to mention that the first time you set up ActiveSync, it may not "automatically" sync immediately (not sure why, maybe's it's waiting for a change event on your google account before it syncs); I usually force the sync and it works then. This is what you may have experienced when you first set it up.

So you are able to sync calendar stuff too? Arrrghhh mentioned that sometimes causes problems... maybe I'll see if I can get it to sync now that it's done it successfully once.

You need Gallery3d. It was originally pulled as it had issues... not sure what its status is, haven't really addressed it in a while.

I can sync calendar stuff, but my buddy who freshly created a GMail account was not able to - and it was spitting out all sorts of odd errors until he unchecked it.

The problem was, I believe, that he never visited his calendar (new account) so GMail's exchange wasn't able to connect to it. That's my best guess - if you have problems with the calendar visit it within the GMail webUI and see if you can sync with it afterwards.

Your phone should show USB Connected & USB debugging connected - at the top of your screen as soon as you connect via USB. My PC shows under Remove Media & Eject Media (Eject XDA)
Running Win 7, Rhodium 400. I think those were the drivers I used, really not sure as I tried several things and didn't document anything. Hope this helps. I know I have files that I need to transfer on my PC plus I don't like having to go thru google to sync my contacts & calendar appointments.

If I've Helped You, Please Click on Thank You.

OK...I've done the following:
- Downloaded the HTD/Default SDK Drivers, and extracted them to a folder.
- Confirmed that USB debugging is checked on my phone (RHOD 500)
- Plugged the USB cable into the phone
- Windows (Vista) detects the phone, and attempts to load drivers
- Using "Locate and install driver software", I navigated to the folder where I had extracted the SDK Drivers
- The XDA, CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM), and CDC ACM Data all report that they are unable to find the driver software.

Am I missing something?

Try this - I was having issues with adb on my XP machine, and that solved it for me.

Keep in mind, adb is a fairly advanced tool - it's not easy to install or use, just makes debugging a heckuva lot easier.

I had the same issue too. Here's what I did.

1. Hook up your phone to Windows
2. Launch Device Manager
3. You should see "Android Phone" listed on the device tree; click on it and you should see "Android ADB Interface"
4. Right click on it and choose "Update driver..."
5. Choose "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)"
6. Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install."
7. Select "Android Phone" as hardware type.
8. Click on "Have Disk..." and point it to your USB driver directory
9. The one I'm using for the Model is "Android Composite ADB Interface Version: 4.0.0.0 [12/6/2010]"

I originally had mine working on XP and then it stopped working and then I used the above procedure to re-install the driver. Go back several posts; I attached the usb_driver.zip that I used.

Hmmm...I tried using the usb_driver.zip package you uploaded, as well as installing Droid Explorer (from the link in your post). Neither solved the problem. I'm going to try formatting the SD card, reinstall FRX04, and put the drivers on immediately (before I load any of my usual apps). We'll see if that solves the problem. Fortunately, Android is really easy to re-load!

Did you read my post...? I doubt it's the phone, it's almost certainly the PC.

Awesome, thanks dude!

In other news, I've been trying to flesh out a formal FAQ. That will be the 'official' FAQ for XDAndroid, and we want it to encompass all devices. It is very much a work-in-progress, but it is in wiki format - just be careful, no support requests on this page! Be respectful, or it will be protected. Thanks!!
