Hi Friends and Gurus,

I'm stumped :confused: . I cannot get any connection to my PC via USB. I don't get the "du-duh" connect sound. The connection is not present in my network connections.

Here are the steps to reproduce:
Unlocked Cingular 8525, WM5 official update
ActiveSync 4.5 uninstalled and reinstalled on PC
Attach phone to computer via USB cable (in any of 3 USB PC ports)
Phone gets power via USB cable (light on Hermes turns amber), but..

Problem:
No connection sound (du-duh)
No connection visible in network connections

A bit more info:
In messing around, I could have set something incorrectly on the phone. But I'm afraid (and embarassed to admit) I don't know where to start.

I've searched this site and have not found the magic cure.

If you have any tips, suggestions, settings to try, etc., i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Chris

as silly as this sounds... mine wont connect to activesync or mymobiler if I have WiFi enabled on the 8525.
Just pointing that out in case you hadnt tried it

Thanks densmore,

Mine used to work even with WiFi on (so for a while I was in better shape than you :) ) , but now, it doesn't matter either way (so now I'm much worse off than you :( ).

I'll keep hoping for other suggestions here, but appreciate your tip.

try this...

go to device manager and uninstall usb hub and then search for new devices and it will reinstall itself. reboot and try again.

I suppose you have 'enable advanced network functionality' unticked?

If not:

start/settings/connections/usb to pc/ untick

If you have, try ticking it, soft reset, try to connect again.

I suppose you have rebooted your pc/laptop?

deleted the partnership and reformed it?

tried another usb port?

also, this is a useful source of info:

If I think of more, I'll come back.

Just another thing to confirm. You have not used the likes of memmaid to remove notifications and accidentally removed repllog entries?

You can use the likes of sktools to confirm that the repllog entries to start Active Sync are present.
