I had this problem, everytime i refreshed the mda the pc showed that the phone was connecting then once the mda vario had stopped the connection was lost, what i did notive was that the com port for active sync showed up on my pc as com port 4? which isnt a choice on the mda as there is only 2 ports available com 6 and com 7, what i did was to add new serail services to the pc until i was given com 6 as a choice,(because by default the pc starts off as com 4 then com 5 etc, so goto the bluetooth configuration then click on client apps and keep adding new service until you get com 6 then try and sync via activesync on your phone, if that doesnt work make sure that you have added new bluetooth device which gives you options of what services you would like the phone to use with the pc, click activesync then configure it to connect on com 6 voila that should work fine iv just updated mine to netframework 2.0 and can now run all the apps i want, any problems email me on [email protected] il be happy to assist any way i can as i was stuck on this problem for ages and ages until i finally solved it hope you succeed.

How can I transfer pictures from the phone to a computer

connect the phone to your computer, the phone will promt you to select option as "Active sync"or "Disk mode", select disk mode, and you can find the phone memory card in your My Computer section. You can then copy the photos from there. Or if you want to do it through Active sync, you should first install Active sync on your PC.

Need to get contacts from phone to computer and my screens broke

hey mate you need active sync on your pc- it should have installed in the first connection (maybe you got a cd with the HD with it on it or try searching for it) from here you connect up using the usb cable that also goes in your power pack and connect it up and choose active sync on the mobile (if touch is still working) or if not it usually is preset to choose active sync from here it should start syncing all your phone info to microsoft excahnge automatically (i had to set up an excahnge connected it to my hotmail account/uni account) from here next time u say reset your phone (hard reset) or flash it or get a new windows mobile phone (all same software ie samsung omnia and htc touch hd both windows 6.1) it will automatically resync all your contacts onto the phone (as long as its connected on active sync)- hope this helps a bit

Unable to connect HTC P3300 via Active Sync.

if you are using XP,install ACTIVE SYNC 4.5. if you are using VISTA or WINDOWS 7, no need any sync software. plug in the HTC to your laptop. right click on MY COMPUTER and select MANAGE. in the window that appears now, on the left hand side select DEVICE MANAGER. now on the right hand side see if you have any yellow colour icons. if YES,try to update the drivers. if nothing works out, try another PHONE to connect and use your phone to connect to another laptop. atleast this will give some idea as where the problem lies

Phone memory & Active sync problems

1. Not sure why its not syncing. You may try uninstalling active sync from your computer and reinstalling.
2. Get another memory card and put the files on there, or get a card reader and transfer them to your computer.
Uninstall any unnecessary programs from the phone to free up space.
