Hey All,
My Athena OEM stock ROM WM6 has started to give off a HI/LO (da dum) two note sound seemingly at random. It is freshly reset, synced and fully charged. Connected to my Windows XP PC via a USB link.
If I turn off system event notifications it still pings.
What the devil does it MEAN?? There are no programs
(other than those on a stock reboot) running and there are no items in my calendar.
It's annoying....
Any ideas?
Rick
sounds like the normal USB connection detection sound to me
Nope.
This is loud, like a doorbell.....
Besides I have all of those turned off.
Rick
Sometimes I get Calender notifications that continue to sound, even though the calender event is dismissed or even deleted - especially if it was connected to a PC at the time and dismissed on there. The only way to stop it, short of a hard reset, is to set another calender event so that the reminder goes off in a minute or so, and dismiss that normally on the device.
If that's the problem you're having, that should fix it.
me too
same thing happened to me, but i really dont bother fixing it. you can try to fix it by doing a clear storage (in case you didnt do it already since Im confused when you said "freshly reset"). Backup for phone using SPB Backup or any others. Then see if it works after that. then restore the backup. No loss. Im too lazy to do it. replay back of your results.
Okay all. Usually I don't post and just lurk around here to find the answers to my issue. This time after reading 300 posts about Activesync and the TP my problem is still not resolved.
Up until last Friday I have been able to sync the TP with my computer running WinXP via the USB connection. I sync with my exchange server OTA but use the USB connection for file transfers. My computer won't recognize that the TP is even plugged into the USB now. It still charges, but doesn't do anything else. I've rebooted the machine and TP, reinstalled Activesync on computer, unchecked the "enable advanced network functionality" box, changed USB cords, verified that I have the correct three repllog.exe values in my notification queue, and even hard reset the TP. Still no luck. I would think that it's something to do with the computer except that I plugged my Mogul in to check and it synced instantly.
Does anyone have any more ideas why the TP would not be registering as connected? You all are amazing when it comes to stuff like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
uninstall the Windows Mobile-based Device from the
network adapters section of Device manager on the PC.
control panel -> system -> hardware tab -> device manager button
restart pc and plug in the phone via usb and select active sync.
also the reason this may work in your case is i have had to do this for a friend.
windows installed the general rdnis driver however each device has a different
instance installed and thus the one device can have a corrupted driver yet the
other works perfect.
i see that u used another usb cable, cuz once it happened to me that the cable would charge but vista wouldn't recognize my TP "unrecognized USB device" , until i changed my usb cable!
Well I finally just went to a friend at the Sprint store and he swapped me for another TP. The new one works perfectly with the same setup that the other wouldn't. I can only guess that somehow the USB connection on my phone failed somehow. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else may have this issue in the future. Thanks for the responses.
This problem has happened on a friends, as well as just happening to mine (about 20 minutes ago). The usual fix which seems to clear it up:
1 - Hook up phone to computer
2 - On phone, start ICS (Internet Sharing in Start -> Programs)
3 - Select PC Connection "USB" and Network Connection of any type (if Sprint stock ROM, I recommend using "Sprint")
4 - Hit the "Connect" soft-key (bottom left)
If you've never used Internet Sharing on the phone, your computer should install some drivers... Once that is completed, click the Disconnect left soft-key on the phone. Now disconnect the cable from the computer.
Close out ICS or soft-reset the phone.
Once the phone is back up, plug it in - it should work.
I don't know what is getting reset in the phone, but unless I connect with ICS, then ActiveSync will not connect whether I soft-reset or not.
The same thing happened with my phone.... I took it to the Sprint store and they even tried a hard reset. It worked once after that then again it wouldn't sync. So they just replaced mine.... It was like you said.... some malfunction in the phone itself.
Hope HTC can figure out why this is happening.
Touch pro not sync
I can sync with my Vista Laptop and my friends xp machine but not to my xp desktop. I have tried many different cables. Each time I try something new, I toggle the "enable faster data synchronation box on USB to PC on try to sync then off then try to sync.
I have tried to delete all the usb drivers and rebooted to let the computer put in a new set.
I have tried to delete all the non running programs in my device manager using view hidden files.....
I have uninstalled active sync and then reinstalled it.
I have hard reset my phone a few times to no avail.
I went and bought a blue tooth adapter so I could sync using blue tooth and this computer does not do a good job of recognizing the adapter, but it did recognize it the first time but, could not pair the two. my blue tooth adapter is now coming up as a an unknown device
when i hook up the phone this is the message i get:
USB not Recognized,
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kent
MCW junior member THANKS....
thanks so much, this worked for me I could not sync my tasks or calendar, once I did what you said here I did get and Error Code 67..then cannot connect saying remote party has ended this connection...whatever that means...but anyway it proceeded to start automatically resynching and walla..all of sudden my tasks and calendar were on my computer ....first time I was ever on this forum ....I shall continue reading and learning here...so appreciate your help...I love my HTC Touch Pro and have just figured out how to connect to my big screen tv with only an MP3 or the like cable...works beautifully...except picture on tv is not the clearest...I will work on perfecting that next if it is possible...
Then I want to figure out how to get the phone connected to my computer screen, just like I did to my TV...then your phone acts as a controller...it's so cool!!

Ok I just found a solution for this, at least under Vista.
Click Start > Settings > Connections (tab)
Choose USB to PC
Once I removed the check mark next to "Enable advanced Network functionality" and clicked OK, my PC immediately saw my TP.
Hope this helps someone.
so what does the faster syc option do?
Ok so I searched the internet and found the advice to turn off the faster sync option on the phone.
After trying everything else I figured what the heck..
So it worked.
(btw windows adds a dif driver rather then the window-mobile baised device driver... )
So what does this option do? What does it point to being the problem on the computer?
Thanks,
HA>!

yeah i was having the same problem...my cpu would just recognize my phone as a mass storage device... Read your solution. And it worked... Damn i feel like a moron should have checked. Thanks!
I am having the same problem except the enable advanced network functionality option is checked and grayed out so it can't be unchecked.
I am running a 6.5 rom...
Any suggestions?
Solution solved
If you go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck Enable faster data synchronization.
You will notice below that it will say "(Clear this check box if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)"
Once I did this it worked perfect.

Think of this step as telling your tp to quick boot/sync if nothing between the device and the reciving pc has changed (ie: hardware, software etc.
Enables faster syncing and quicker connection and authentication between pc and WM device. Reason for unchecking this to make it work?, by hard-reseting or changing specfic phone information you've reset specfic settings that are registerd with your pc.
i was having this problem with my sprint tp2 and tried it and worked. wish i would of learned if before reseting my computer and losing some windows i had open and the hard reset on my phone and losing all my contacts now i gotta go back to sprint store to get them again.
Works on the Touch2
I had this problem, which was driving me nuts especially as it was intermittent. I found Dashrender's advice and followed it except for turning off "Enable faster data synchronisation". Brilliant, works perfectly, thanks.
But what are HTC doing putting something in the software that fouls things up?
I knew i wasnt loosing my mind!
I have been workn on phones for a while. And have just been freakn about these same Issues Sony vio with 64bit vista. Thanks for all the tips. only took 6 hrs of pain to figure it out myself.
I have a similar problem now with my USB to PC . i have used this usb cable for many flashes but now when I plug it in, my computer doesnt recognize the usb device. also TV-Out pops up on my phone too. what is that all about? i dunno what to do
just found this thread searching for why my tp2 wouldn't sync. somehow under usb to pc i had it set to disk drive instead of active sync. checked it and works like a charm, can even see it in my computer now.
I am wanting to update my hd2 to the rom they pushed out a week or so ago. I installed activesync 4.5 on my computer, but when i plug my phone into my computer, it does not recognize the phone and nearly all of the buttons on the activesync window are greyed out. My computer recognizes the phone and I can get into the storage card on the phone, etc. but activesync just doesnt work. When i first got my phone I used the internet sharing function to get my computer online, if that matters at all. I also have used the multimedia twist program to sync up my music with the phone.
I am at a loss, and quite aggravated how not user friendly this process is for me. Can anyone help?
My computer is running fully updated win xp, sp3. I read something about needing outlook to import contacts, and I have office 2007 installed also.
Here's some advice, don't upgrade to the TM latest ROM rather get one of the other roms available on this site.
I cant tell you how much time I've wasted trying to get activesync to work, just when things seem to be going smoothly, bam, it stops and short of re flashing the rom sometimes it just will not recognise the phone. Or it hangs on some date from a meeting years ago and refuses to sync so being so frustrated and fed up I took the plunge and put Android on the phone.
It's a little bit of a pita to sync outlook to your google account but once you figure that out it's smooth sailing and you'll never look back. Android works, the chefs have done an incredible job, it's seamless, elegant and makes you wonder why MS should ever be used.
If you still want to mess with activesync, go through a hard reset and pair it again with the PC and wait until it reloads all your data - talk about a pita.
First day with the phone, and so much grief. Never did I expect it.
I am able to transfer music etc from the PC Suite in mass storage mode, but i can't transfer contacts. The sync in progress bar comes up and its stuck there without moving. Then it says ''no response from the phone''.
Deleted usb drivers using usbdeview, and re plugged the phone, but no relief.
Was having other trouble with a 4gb SD Card ''preparing SD Card, checking for errors''. Will be trying to return it tomorrow, i think its corrupted.
So put the original 2 gb in it after a factory reset. 2gb card working but cannot sync contacts from pc to phone. is there any other software, way?
Beginning to wonder if i should have bought this phone.... Haven't slept a wink.
Trying another factory reset with the 2gb card in it - Which surprisingly was the only things that works! I can sync contacts, but i think this is a really irritating way. Im gona have to do another one after i get a 4gd SD.
LG Software developers - do ya'll think we like to spend our lives solving your puzzles??!!
The new LG suite software has a warning to you turn on wifi or 3g conection, before doing the sync.
Have you done that?
Cheers

Hmmm. I haven't got that warning, and ive checked that the PC suite version is the latest one. anyhow, i never leave it on, so maybe that is the cause
Without any problems with MyPhoneExplorer. If you download also MyPhoneExplorer app from market, you can use for transfer also wifi and USB.
PC Sync you need to add account in Accounts & sync
Hello, just bought mine and is very happy with it, considering i bought this to replace my iphone 3gs. pretty much a downgrade, but a new ground nonetheless since its my 1st android phone.
now, people having problems syncing, ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday. heres what u need to make sure to sync contacts/mail/calendar:
-make sure u have 3g/H signal on top of your notifications.its network dependent, u might have to adjust it on settings, network, mobile network, access point names. choose one that gives u 3g signal
-make sure 2g only signal option is unchecked
-make sure your phone is visually on. adjust your screen timeout on settings, display, timeout setting and put it on 30 mins so your phone doesnt sleep.
try syncing it again.
hope this helps.
LG Optimus P500 Outlook sync issue resolution
Hi All,
As suggested in this earlier thread, I was able to resolve the outlook sync issues. Though it might sound weird, you need to have the wi-fi or 3G data turned on, for you to be able to successfully do a sync. I kept the wi-fi on and was able to do a sync of my contacts and calendar, though there were some repeat entries in my calendar. I will have to work that out!
Here is what you should be doing:
Connect you phone to the computer
Ensure that you aren't switching on the mass storage
Keep your wi-fi or 3G data turned on
Launch LG PC suite IV and start synching.
There is an update available for the PC sync suite, which i downloaded today. I am seeing an improvement in the performance of the application, when I switch between contacts to messaging to calendar etc., The latest version is 4.2.46.20101118.
Hi all,
Houston we have a problem
I'm having problems connecting my phone with PC Suite. I was able to cennect it in "mass storage mode"and instal PC Suite from it, but i can't connect phone with PC Suite. It starts loading and then the error comes out saying either; "device cannot be opend, it's beeing used by another program" or "not responding". If I then press OK, it throws me into the LG Air Sync, with the same errors.
I tried what @xeboslavvb said, but only with 3G, cos i don't have wi-fi(yet).
Need help, please It's my first smarthphone so i might be missing something obvious.
tnx
Well, you can use MyPhoneExplorer instead, so easy and fast
So i can use it to sync phonebook, update to 2.2.1 etc. It wont "hurt" the phone?
I'll try it. tnx
I would still like to have PC Suite working, so if there are any ideas...
edit:
LOL, i don't know what is wrong with it. I instaled MyPhoneExplorer on computer, connected the phone and then in the MyPhoneExplorer another error " Connection to phone could not be established:No device attached to USB"?
edit2:
All I had to, was to connect the phone to the backplate USB port, the front one only worked in "mass storage mode"...

First, download Myphoneexplorer to your pc(website) and your phone(from market)
then open the program on your optimus, it will give you 2 options:
1-Wifi(Working if your pc and your optimus on the same router)
2-USB(should set Debugging Mode to ON)
select which connection you prefer, then press connect on PC program (you have to select that you're connect an Android phone from tools)
Tadaaaa.. connected
sorry for long post, but it could be useful to noobs
Tnx, but like I said, all i did was connect it via. "backplate" USB port and it worked. Don't know why...
You could sync it to your google account and then use your google account to sync to your phone. I have that and it works great
Hi All... I can synch to LG PC Suite IV...
All...
What I did is just to turn on 3G and Shazaaam!!!...
Actually I don't know why this synch needs from 3G, because basically the connection is through USB...
Hope this can help to you...
Memo.

Lg pc suite is too buggy. Try my phone explorer, for sync contacts, sms etc.
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
I also had problems with Lg pc suite, but it seems you do need a working networkconnection (in my case enabling Wifi worked) even if connected to usb!
I guess it is due to bad programming from LG
pcsync worked for me only when using a stable wifi connection
until then i also tried using it in vain
after getting wifi router things changed
i could sinchronize my contacts
Hey guys, my HD2 touchscreen has basically become unresponsive. I used to be able to take the battery out a couple of times until it worked again but that doesn't seem to be able to work any more. The Phone still works as the hard buttons work and I'm getting messages and phone calls but I basically can't use the touch features. I was wondering if anyone had a way I could read my messages or back them up to my pc without having to use the screen? I have a couple unread ones that are pretty important that I don't want to lose by hard resetting or before I send my phone back. Any suggestions about the screen or the messages would be massively appreciated. Cheers guys.
try using MyMobiler to connect HD2 to PC/notebook, run MyMobiler & you will get screen displayed on pc & can control it via PC hardware. "MyMobiler" link is in my signature. Only problem I see is if your HD2 USB connection option is not Activesync you may not get this to work
As for backup best tool is SPB Backup or free but not so complete option is PIM Backup
Ok thanks for that, unfortunately I didn't have my phone on activesync so I've done a hard reset and it will be sent back tomorrow to resolve the screen issue. Thanks for your help anyway
