Vista Sync Error - Solved
 

Hello folks. I am trying to get this working and need your help! I have an Alltel PPC6800 w\ no2chem 5066 and a laptop running Vista x64 SP1 Ultimate. I try to sync and it says connecting than it errors out. I go to Event Viewer and here is the exact error: Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code). HELP!!! Paul

By the way I have tried many things from drivers to the WMDC software to soft resets to even installing SP1. Nope.

Re: Vista Sync Error
 

WMDC does not play well with Vista......flaky as can be.....a few suggestions that have worked for me.....are as follows: delete any partnerships you have and delete the driver in device manger 2. Use another USB port. 3. Hard reset the phone. (3 always works the best for me).....

Re: Vista Sync Error
 

I had a problem also where it would not sync - I shut off Trojan hunter and Live Mesh......they seemed to interfere with connectivity...hope this helps...

Re: Vista Sync Error
 

Hmm I even hard reset now and it didn't work. I have been checking and I don't think I have any AV/AS running (I haven't installed anything beyond Windows and in Security Center it says it is disabled). Hmm. It is definitely Vista since XP Pro w\ AS 4.5 worked fine.

Re: Vista Sync Error
 

Ok I formatted and I made some progress. wmplayer.exe loads right up after the sync is almost established and then kills it then wmplayer.exe is gone right after killing the sync. I think I gotta figure out a way to fix it. Suggestions? My fingers are quick but my computer must be faster!

from media player help:
To switch between automatic and manual sync
After you've set up a device, you can switch to a different sync method at any time. Here's how:

Turn on your device and connect it to your computer.

In Windows Media Player, click the arrow below the Sync tab, point to the device, and then click Set Up Sync.

Clear or select the Sync this device automatically check box.

Do one of the following:

If you are switching to automatic sync, choose the playlists that you want to sync automatically. For more information, see "To choose what syncs automatically" earlier in this topic.

If you are switching to manual sync, choose the files or playlists that you want to sync manually. For more information, see Sync manually in Windows Media Player

I don't even see it. When I load WMP it breaks my sync. :\

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Now that is weird...let me go check some settings and see if we can find you a fix....

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Cool beans thanks. I really wanna get this working.

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

No luck....I tried reproducing it on mine to no avail......I played with the settings in both but could not reproduce it](*,).....sorry bro....

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Wow this is strange. I wish I could get it to work. Anyone? :(

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Guys, you're making this much harder than it is.

In your phone, go to settings ---> connections --> usb to pc

Disable advanced networking

That's it. Syncing should no longer be an issue. Just remember that you will have to do that again after a new ROM flash.

I believe he has already tried that....I could be wrong though....sometimes that does not work for Vista.....it is very flaky as I said.....

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

He hasn't mentioned trying that and no one's suggested this yet.

I'm pretty damn sure it will solve his problem ;)

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Tried it sorry.

Edit: I just tried it again. However I managed to kill wmplayer.exe since my hard drive was busy and it worked fine.

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Hmm this is just a thought, could it be related to my ROM edition? Can someone flash no2chem 5066 and try it on Vista? ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/No...ild%205066.rar

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

That is not it if you have Vista 32bit.....I ran it in mine quite some time ago with no sync problems.....no more than the usual......Vista with WMDC sucks flat out....works sometimes and sometimes not.....:angry7:

Re: Vista Sync Error - Now Diagnosed, Need Resolution!
 

Well what do you know, it was. That is quite interesting. I gotta find another ROM stable.

Re: Vista Sync Error - Solved
 

Ok now I flashed the 5069-k NUE ROM and it works! It must have been an odd duck bug with 5066. Thanks!

Re: Vista Sync Error - Solved
 

Good to hear....I know I had the same issue when I flashed JD's ROM a week ago....had to go back to his previous ROM for WMDC to work....but I did run 5066 way back....like I said though WMDC and Vista are flaky as can be.....](*,)

Re: Vista Sync Error - Solved
 

Now I'm on the 5078-k ROM. :D
