My Vista PC cant find HTC P3600 (or Qtek S200).
Had XP on the same PC, no problem.
Other USB items connects fine.
Any tips?

Sync problems in Vista
The reason for your problem is that the RTM version of Vista don't have Windows Mobile Device Center included because it was still in beta. To get the latest beta available download it from: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I have no problem to sync my P3600 on Vista with the beta software.
Greetings
/Jan
In addition to sync/exchange files, which worked even without the above mentioned software, as it will see the Trinity as just another USB memory (drive letter) device, you'll need this beta software to install/add any non-cab file based programs on the Trinity.

So you guys can Sync files and outlook in Vista?
I have the Mobile Device Centre Beta 3 installed for use with my 6828 and all I get is Sync my media files.
Anyone else experienced problems with not being able to sync outlook data or being able to install programs?
Yes, I had a lot of problems getting the partnership with P3600 working. I was trying to pair it via Bluetooth, but that didn't work either. I then tried installing some Toshiba bluetooth drivers for my Dell TrueMobile BT, that installation failed but somehow Vista recovered by reinstalling its own BT-drivers and after that I got a perfect ActiveSync connection over Bluetooth.
Every now and then I get some sync errors, and most of the time these are solved by closing Outlook 2007 and then resyncing (which starts Outlook in a hidden thread). Rebooting the notebook helps also of course.
I've Vista too and my trinity was recognized automatically. The only problem is that i can't install application by Mobile Device Center because every program ask me to install Active Sync 4.2 but Vista not permit to install any release of active sync.

I have attached my Cingular 8525 to by computer via the USB cable. I am running Windows Vista (32-bit, official product release [not a beta or release candidate version]). I have also inserted the original Cingular CD containing the drivers for the phone. However, these drivers are for Windows XP (or other versions of Windows, but not Vista). When I connect the phone to the USB cable I get an error:
----- begin snip -----
Windows needs to install the driver software for your Generic RNDIS.
Device driver was not successfully installed.
Generic RNDIS

I have also searched the XDA-Developers Web site for answers, but have not found any relevant answers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and http://xda-developers.com/). Places I have looked for answers include:

Install Windows Mobile Device Center Beta. It's available free from microsoft. After installing that my 8525 was recognized immediately and installed the following drivers automatically:
WpdRapi.dll
WUDFRd.sys
Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter
There may be some other things it installed, but the bottom line is my 8525 is working well with Vista and everything installed automatically. My 2125 is working well, too.
EDIT: I am using Vista RTM Build 6000.
Windows Mobile Device Center Beta is also working for me (on a T-Mobile Vario II). A little buggy but does the job.
Does anyone know when the final release of Windows Mobile Device Center will appear?
WMDC Beta 3 on Vista Ultimate is one of the most useless beta from MS ever. In fact apart from a connection sound my Vista doesn't do anything when I connect my TyTN - on my XP Pro home at least I can browse my device. Here at work I can't use it at all, period.
After 1-2 months of use I have to admit this Vista is an enourmously giant piece of sh*t for hundreds of dollars - stay away of this crap at least for another 6-8 months or as long as you can.
Firstly, Vista is a great OS. You need the hardware for it (it really needs more than 1Gb of RAM to perform well) but if you have then it makes XP look like the aged operating system that it is.
And although WMDC beta 3 is not perfect, it works OK on my PC and is much nicer than ActiveSync.
Yep WMDC beta is a little buggy but that's why they call it beta. And since Vista Ultimate hasn't even been officially released any criticisms of it or reports of problems with it on your system are mute until the release date.
With that said, I'm running Ultimate on a Toshiba laptop and love it.
I am having a simular problem. i cant connect my 8525 to the pc. when i attach the usb to the computer and the device nothing happens.
under device manager when i force it, the 8525 comes up as an unknown device and when i try to install drivers for it, it says it cant find any.

I have a multple boot machine, running, XP Pro, VISTA Ultimate RTM, Knoppix on HD (linux kernel 2.6), ofiice 2007 on both Windows. I use also Virtual PC 2007 on VISTA to have an XP Home virtual machine inside VISTA
No way to have a reliable use of mobile devices in VISTA.
Windows media player Sync is a random event, connecting and syncing is the old and well known Windows "Plug and Pray"., Virtual PC can't use USB sync, no way
On Xp Office 2007 works perfectly with Active Sync 4.2, I flashed the Hermes BIOS, and Shared my phone Internet connection.
Vista is still in a growing up stage (buggy or NO drivers at all, old Sw unstable when running on Vista, USB devices like webcams, USB phones, printers not working) . As an example I have an all-in-one HP network printer, with drivers included in VISTA Ultimate RTM release. I can print my photos only with borders, no way to print borderless!)
To solve all VISTA issues and release the full power of VISTA-Mobile Devices integration I think a common effort is needed, between mobile 0S (crossbow will be released also with this purpose) and WMDC. Remember, at the beginning they said "no need of any other SW to connect and sync VISTA to mobile devices", then... we still have WMDC in BETA

aroundlsu,
What driver(s) show for your 8525 under Device Manager? Mine is showing as HTC USB Sync and always generates a Code 10.
TIA,

Do you have WMDC installed? If so, Update the RNDIS driver manually. You are looking for the Microsoft Corporation "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" drivers. You will have to use the Show All Drivers switch when you search for it. Then a second New Hardware window will pop-up, this is the one for the Hermes. Unfortunately it is also where I am stuck. I have my 4700 syncing, but my 8525 is not properly identified/loaded.

Vista works fine with my 8525.. everything sync'd up by itself. I think it automatically downloaded the HTC update.
Can someone please tell me how to get them to Sync? I can't install ActiveSync because Vista blocks it and if I try to use Vista's built in system, it tries to sync my whole music collection to my Hermes.
to get it working under vista. disconect the phone from your pc.
downjload the following file
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6A-A72D-4AEF-9663-31CE2FEFBADA&displaylang=en
run it, then reconnect your tytn and all sould be working fine.
microsoft have removed activesync from vista and now use the mobile device centre instead
I know this may sounds like the usual not unchecking the advanced network tick box but I promise I've tried everything to get my hermes to sync and it won't
situation is I've upgraded to a 6.1 ROM and WMDC (Vista Ultimate 32) says connecting (the device is installed on first connection) and then as it gets to the point where it would normally ask you to set up the partnership, it goes back to not connected. The phone has the two arrows still there like it is connected.
I've ruled out most things and have been trawling around the forums but I've just reached a dead end.
I don't think it's the USB as it does the same thing with bluetooth.
I don't think it's the computer because I recently changed my machine (same OS though)
I don't think it's the phone because it's actually a replacement after my screen broke on my original
I even don't think it's the ROM because no one else has this trouble in the thread ([20755] [OPTIMIZED Manilla2d IS HERE!][09/29](AlmostNak3d)(V8))
I've also tried uninstalling WMDC as much as is possbile on Vista and I've tried disabling the windows firewall
It's so frustrating, as I seem to have 6.0 working no probs but that ROM is just so good I have to have it (but with some contacts would be best)
The only thing that I can think of is that I flash the ROMS through an XP machine. This can't be causing the issue can it?
Any help gratefully received. I determined that this phone stays with me until the HD comes out and it really doesn't have long to go now
no one have any suggestions
(or did i post this in the wrong forum)?
Have you tried deleting all partnerships on the phone and computer and then tried to sync it. I have the same rom as you and device and i have problems only when i try to sync via bluetooth. Check the com port for the bluetooth is not conflicting with the WMDC. You could even try disabling the bluetooth comport and see if that makes a difference
If it syncs with an xp machine, why dont you try, exporting the contacts as comma seperated values(windows) and then import them on to the xp machine, at least that way you will have your contacts on the phone.
Also why do you flash with the xp machine and not vista, have you installed all updates in vista?
thanks for the reply SM. Sorry for the delay in my response but I've been sunning in the maldives! I got things going before leaving (so i had some contacts) by doing pretty similar to what you suggested. I sync the xp machine with the vista machine and then sync the phone with the xp machine. I've tried deleting the partnerships on both sides (i've even tried reinstalling vista) but I'll give the removing of the bt com ports a go i think.
my flashing from xp was just a historic thing. i think there may have been an issue with vista once as i was staying away from it for some reason but after my previous post i actually think i did then flash from vista
Upgrade with vista?
Upgrade with vista? its posible I think it has issues...
I can recomend to you...
1.- download again the usb drivers for your Motherboard on XP machine...
2.- Even if you have Windows Vista you can aquire a XP emulator for Win vista and do these things.
3.- If you dont ant to install again the drivers for USB ports so....
restart your PC and your PPC witout unplug your PPC let it boots togheter... it fix my trouble with the same ROM you have...
Hey folks,
I've got a problem syncing my Blackstone to my laptop, which runs Vista x64. The Blackstone syncs with XP perfectly though, but Vista tells me the device is not recognised. Does anyone else suffer from this or does someone have a solution?
Very easy. You have to update WMDC to 6.1.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...F1-E46A-4A5F-A791-09F07AAA1914&displaylang=en
Nope. Won't work. Windows still doesn't recognize my device.

Hi, I have it working on Windows Vista x64. I do not remember I had to do anything to get it to work, besides downloading the Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista x64. You even get the HTC touch HD picture in Mobile Device Center

Ditto, no problems with vista 64 here
*sigh* Then i'll just have to reinstall it i guess. See what happens.
Active Sync Windows Vista x64
When you connect your device it asks you for the type of connection
"active Sync" "hard disk" "internet sharing" you must select active sync then everything should be just fine ....
Actual Phones in use
HTC Thouch HD, T-mobile mda compact 2
Had that too, popped in one of the 2 black discs and installed MDC.
then it worked.

Same here. Two things to try.
1. PC: reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center (repair option);
2. Htc: uncheck advanced network in USB setting (USB aan PC).
I've tried everything in this thread. But Windows Mobile Device Center will still not recognize my HD
edit: I solved it. I had to use a different USB port. I had to plug it directly to my pc, was using a hub before.
Hi,
Having my HD since a week, I am doing synchronisation with windows mobile on vista x64.
Everything is fine using the usb data cable but not using bluetooth.
The HD is recognized as I can see HTC50 but as soon vista starts, I am requested to provide a driver that I have found nowhere.
If I go in the vista device control panel, there is a bluetooth device not working properly as no driver available.
Contacted the HTC hotline, they told me they will call me back within 48 hours.
It was 5 days ago...
Anyone having the same problem or a solution?
Friend of mine with Vista64bit also had problems, and bought Bluesoleil 64bit for better profile support. You can testdrive it with 2mb limit.
http://dontknowme.at/http://www.bluesoleil.com/
Thanks Lucas but for me it is the job of HTC to have a smooth integration within an OS like vista.
If not I will sell this device and go for an iphone.
UP :-(

The problem is probably the driver on windows vista, so switching to another phone will not help much. Besides..."smooth integration within an OS like vista" and "iphone" you have got to be joking!!!

Please guys,
Could someone tells me he succeeds to synchronise the touch hd with a vista x64 through bluetooth?
The HTC support finally called me back asking to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 vista x64 but didn't work...
AFAIK this will not work with Vista. At least not with the Vista bluetooth stack.
I have the same problem you describe with my Wizard and my Diamond.
After switching to the Widcomm bluetooth stack I remember being able to synchronize my phones over BT.
I don't know exactly where the problem lies and if only HTC is to blame here.
I'm sorry, I can't give you a solution here.
Still, if you like to give it a try, go to

I sync my Hermes with my Vista 64bit.
But I don't know wich BT-Stack is installed.
My laptop is an Asus V1S.
HTC customer support line
Dont hold your breath waiting for them to get back to you, i waited two months to get a reply email asking me to call their helpline.
Absolutely useless!!!!!!!
yeah, same problem at my side......
I'm using IBM T61p, and the update from broadcom site doesnt work......
Yesterday I have come across something interesting.
I had to hard-reset my device and afterwards it would not be recognized in Windows Mobile Device Center when connecting via USB cable. I heard the sound from the Device Manager, so Vista knew the device was connected, but it wouldn't show up in WMDC.
So I reinstalled WMDC, but still no luck.
But - and here comes - I was able to pair my HD over bluetooth with my PC and Vista installed the bluetooth drivers for the phone! I am now able to synchronize over bluetooth!
Sadly synchronizing over USB cable does not work any more.
For all of you having trouble with WMDC and bluetooth, try reinstalling WMDC 6.1, maybe this helps.
Regards
K_Hismoom
I too could never get a connection initiated from WMDC to the HD, with standard Vista Bluetooth. Pairing the the Vista desktop pc with the HD never was a problem, but Activesync. Then I tried to start the sync from the HD - and it worked.
Go the the Settings tab in TouchFlo3D, and use the first tab "Sync data" (Daten synchronisieren in German), and the HD connected itself to the WMDC, via the Hama Nano bluetooth dongle using standard Vista drivers. Give it a try!
OK, finally I got it work successfully.
The way to connect HD with PC, have to from HD to PC, can't from PC to HD.
I'm doing steps as follow:
1. set your PC's bluetooth as discoverable.
2. at HD side, search PC with bluetooth
3. after that, pair HD with PC
4. open your active sync on the HD, and select connect with bluetooth
5. after connected, everything works
Now I can explore my HD on my PC, everything is OK.
I have the same issue. I keep getting a message on my vista pc that Windows cannot install the device driver for a bluetooth peripheral.....very annoying!!
i also have this problem (vista cant find drivers). i'm trying to get the beta sideshow app workinng.
any help would be great.
thanks
Touch HD driver problem
I am having some bluetooth problems too but not exactly as you describe. I have a Touch HD and have it syncing over bluetooth with my Lenovo laptop (Vista32) and my PC (Vista64) fine. However, everytime I connet the phone, Windows tries to install drivers for it but can't find them. The drivers seem to be bluetooth related because if I go into Bluetooth Devices and click the Touch HD and search services, either nothing is listed or sometimes just "telephony". So I can't use any of my phones bluetooth profiles like internet sharing.
I have a weird feeling that it has something to do with the Touch HD Hotfixes that HTC has released recently.
Has anyone out there been able to fix the issue?????
luketoms, I have exactly the same problem as yours with my HTC Touch Pro and vista x64. This related to bluetooth driver in my point of view.
I haven't found any solution for that.
Has anyone a clue ?
Thx
I share your problem too, luketoms & gbouille. Espescially annoying, since I have connected my HD before sucessfully, with Vista locating the right drivers from Windows Update, displaying it as a HTC Touch HD T8282. Independent from WMDC.
Now, it seems my HD and laptop are no longer friends.
Does it say 'Missing bluetooth peripheral device'? If it does, right click on the device for properties. Click on update driver OR
Go to device manager, you'll see an unknown device named bluetooth peripheral device. Double click it to open its properties
Click 're-install driver' on the second tab.
Click Browse my computer for driver software' button
Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
There may be a list asking for device type, select 'bluetooth radios'
On the next page there will be a list of company names on the left side and a list of drivers on the right. In the company list choose 'Microsoft Corporation' ... not 'Microsoft'. Confirm selection is microsoft corporation.
On the drivers list there may be one or more driver versions for the mobile phone, select a newer version.
Click next, and ignore any warnings and keep pressing next
Then it shows successfully installed drivers
phabreel : it does indeed! Thankyou. Still, windows will not recognize the HD as a PAN compatible device when searching for it through the bluetooth wizard. And it has done just that before!
