Windows Vista - Mobile Device Center - Sync Errors

[P1aGu3]

I have setup the latest Mobile Device Center software (Device Update?) from Microsoft on Vista Business Edition.

I have the Imate JasJam from Telstra with the latest firmware from Club Imate.

When I try to setup a partnership under Vista I get the following error, which no amount of googling can find a solution for.

Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to Receive Connection (0x800700aa) failure (see data for failure code).

No amount of hard resetting or flashing from Club Imate or uninstall/reinstall of MDC software solves this.

I have disabled the firewall as well in case that had something to do with it, and I have unticked the advanced USB in the Connections settings.

Any suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

I had this issue with MDC when I installed Vista, I found that the MDC has not installed correctly so downloaded it again from the MS web site and its been fine ever since, now syncing multiple devices through the device centre.

As I said, it worked for me.

I have a similar problem... When I try to sync TyTN (WM5) with my Notebook I have an error after few minutes.
I don't know why!!!

Im in the same boat. I have done everything... firewall, install, re-install, mess with drivers... I even went as far as to warrenty exchange my phone thinking it was the issue (well... it actually was with that phone as it wouldnt sync with another pc). Got the new phone (which syns with my XP machine now) still does not work!

Try... in Settings > Connections > USB to PC uncheck Advanced features.

tried that many times as well...

Try the following:
* Check the checkbox "Enable advanced network functionality"
* Connect the TyTN
* It will show up in Device Manager (as Windows Mobile Device)
* Rightclick this device and choose "Update driver"
* Choose "Browse my computer for driver software"
* Choose "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer"
* It will show "Windows Mobile Device"
* Select this device and choose Next
* It will re-install the device
After this I was able to connect my TyTN in Vista.

Goto start and run "msconfig" enter
goto startup
remove all except MWMDC-activesync apps (wcscomm)
goto services
remove all Security products that run after bootup.
SAVE RESTART PC - It should bootup Quicker.

Now THERE IS NO PROTECTION ON YOUR PC!!!!!!!!!
SO UNPLUG INTERNET FROM PC now!

Check you have MWMDC or activesync working(green) than problem is the software you are loading to your Pc.
Or you need to backup full ppc maybe with SPB backup as *.exe file on your MicroSD. I found this one works best when I have done hard reset in the field. Max space used 12-35Mg

Than re establish MWMDC or activesync, Once it is working do full restore.

Now reapply msconfig with all items which are removed. save restart check connections.
Walla all working (I hope), I tested this option nearly 15 times with WM5
and twice with WM6 and Vista

This option works for Vista & XP.


Good luck

The one and only suggestion I have - other than everything else that's already been sugggested - is this:

Make sure your phone is connected directly to a USB port on your PC/laptop, and NOT via a USB hub or laptop docking station; it seems that Vista is especially fussy about having "exclusive" access to a USB device. Hubs and docking stations (which are kinda like hubs as far as Windows is concerned) just seem to get in the way :)

Hope this helps - not sure where you can go next if it doesn't :confused:
