Problem w/Active Sync after Internet Sharing

[craigisakson]

I am wondering if someone can help me. I am using the HTC Herald with WM 6.1 -- ITsPapaBlack 6.1v2 -- and trying to use internet sharing while connected to my laptop via USB. My laptops OS is Vista Pro. It connects but once I close out of internet sharing and then just try to connect and use active sync, it will not connect to my phone. I have tried resetting both the phone and the computer to see if that would fix the problem but the results stay the same. The only thing that fixes this is a hard reset. This is the second rom I have had this problem with. Anybody's input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):

1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.

When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.

I had the same problem with my Touch Diamond. Simply make sure you uncheck the box "Enable faster data synchronization" in the same settings as mentioned above.

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
(for WM6.5)
