I am having this problem on my vista machine with my 6700. Anyone found a solution yet?

My solution was re-install vista. I was starting to have other issues that led me to blame vista. All the sudden I couldn't open the control panel or a few opther apps on my laptop. So I took what I needed and formatted the whole thing. Everything works now, but it's alot of work just ot get your phone to sync properly.

I have a laptop too with my issue I wonder if that matters. Logic of computers leads me to think it would not but you never know. Backing up things now so I can format. Sigh.

Hey Guys, just FYI. When mines wouldn't connect right on the Mogul I went to Setting - Connections - USB-PC, and UN-check "Enable advanced Network Fuctionality" and it has been fine since.

I only need to turn it on if I'm doing Internet Sharing with an XP machine.

Good Luck and Happy Turkey Day (Well in the States at least!)

Interesting. i will research this and see how it applies.

FYI, i am going to consolidate this into a new thread/faq which should help many of you. It will be Vista/WMDC only at this time. I will also address how SP1 impacts this.

Well, my Mobile Device Center also chose to stop working. Actually Im not sure if it was the software's fault and more of Vista's fault, as some have agreed that the damn computer wont even recognize the phone as a device connected to it.

Anywho, I got the bright idea to connect to Activesync via Bluetooth. I had been beaming files one by one from my pc to my phone, and vice versa, and then I remembered seeing "connect via bluetooth" as an option fn Activesync on the phone. I tried that, and BAM! It worked right away and hasnt stopped since....or yet lol. Hope this helps someone out there.

ActiveSync is not available in Vista. As you know its Windows Mobile Device Center.

Yes, as previously stated multiple times, Bluetooth sync works flawlessly as the core issue remains a USB issue. BT is simply far slower a connection than USB, so its not ideal for music/pic sync.

If you read what I said, I said Activesync on the phone, but I hadnt seen it mentioned anywhere else in this thread that bluetooth was an option.

Sure, i see that you were indeed referring to activesync on your handset.

As for the Bluetooth sync, In the very beginning of the thread i wrote: "I have verified the issue is USB related as handsets sync without issue via Bluetooth and Infared".

If you have not already done so, do try the Disable Advanced Features in usb settings in the phone. This when connected will install a seperate device driver "HTC USB Sync" and will allow for an attempted USB sync. You may also want to go through the troubleshooting steps mentioned earlier in the thread to address your USB connectivity issues.

I am going to clean all this up and post a new thread/faq to help make it all clearer.
