A few suggestions as I have this once in awhile;

1) Make sure to run WPDM as an ADMIN on your PC
2) If it fails to connect/run still, unplug and restart phone plus make sure to fully EXIT from WPDM on PC. Once phone restarts plug into PC and relaunch WPDM
3) Make sure to give TouchXperience root privileges using Healthcliffs Root Tool

With ADMIN assigned to the WPDM on the PC and root privileges on the phone it works 90% of the time and if it stops a phone restart has always gotten it going again. Just my experience.

WPDM connects to my device but only shows my device name & OS version. It wont show my model, network, available storage, nothing and touch explorer wont start on my device(it was installed automatically when i last used WPDM). When i press Manage Applications or Explore files and folders it again tries to connect and says "Unable to connect XXXXX". I have SDK 7.1 installed and updated it to 7.1.1. I did all the things u mentioned above but no luck! Help me plz!

Have you unloaded TouchXperience and tried installing again (TouchXperience is the App that needs to run for WPDM to run, not Touch Explorer)? Other than that I am out of ideas

It keeps saying my phone is not registered or unlocked.

I don't know what this means.

How do I register my phone?

    I agree, nice interface, nothing inside, wait another month for what???
    The really solution for people looking for taking full control on phone 7, will come from another developer, sometime, I assume!! :(

    Ok I understand that sometimes Shaps shouldn't ad us too early and make us wait long to finally release tools who are not complet, at the risk to disappoint us.
    But remember DFT make us wait 4 month before they release magldr.
    WP7 is a new OS,there is still lot of work to do. Everyone here have a life, maybe a work, a wife and some kids behind the screen.

    People like shaps are doing the best they can, and just for this don't blame it.
    If you don't like his work, log off this topic.

    TouchXperience for Windows Phone features:

    • Add folders, apps, contacts, websites, maps, documents, and many other widgets
    • Pin apps, folders and any other stuffs to Start screen
    • Organize applications & games
    • File explorer
    • Multitasking support
    • TouchXperience port taking benefit from Metro UI
    • Background customization
    • Contact manager
    • Communication manager

    • You can initiate connection from both PC and device (tap PC Synchronization in TouchXperience to etablish connection from device). You can connect via USB or Wi-Fi, but the first time you have to connect via USB so WP Device Manager can deploy TouchXperience and your device can get your PC IP address.
    • In the current version you can't manually set the PC or phone IP address to connect, or change default ports.
    • Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
    • When WP Device Manager initiate a connection and can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
    • Some tasks requires your phone screen to be unlocked
    • It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
    • If WP Device Manager does not start at all, make sure you installed all the requirements and try to reinstall full .NET Framework 4.0 and developer tools.
    • If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and eventually restart your PC.
    • If Windows Phone Device Manager is not able to communicate with TouchXperience, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC. Try to temporarly disable your anti-virus or firewall programs to see if that's the problem. You can also try the registry fix in attachment
    • If you have connection problems, try the following may help: unplug/replug your phone, close or start Zune, restart WP Device Manager, make sure your device is detected by Zune, in worst case restart your PC.
    • WP Device Manager or some components of it may be considered as potential threat by anti-virus or firewall programs, this is a false alarm, you may need to add exceptions to your anti-virus or firewall may prevent WP Device Manager from working correctly.
    • WP Device Manger is automatically disconnected when you quit TouchXperience (for example when you launch an app or return to Start screen). This is not a bug, this is because TouchXperience is stopped due to the lack of native multitasking in WP7. To workaround you can enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings.
    • Tap on a menu title in TouchXperience and the main menu will show up
    • If you want to take screenshots of an other application on the phone you need to enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings
    • Some features needing high privileges on the phone (f.e. file system access) may not be available, this depends on the unlock level of your phone.
    • Applications installed with other tools than WP Device Manager are not recognized (they are identified by their id) on non-HTC device. To solve the problem you can simply browse your original XAP files, application info will be automatically cached and diplayed in the app manager.
    • If only sideloaded applications are displayed it's because your phone does not have full file system access.
    • Some application versions are incorrect. This is due to the fact that some developers does not update their application manifest with correct version number when they release new versions. To fix the problem you can check for app updates and click on Dismiss All assuming all your applicatons have been updated to their latest version.
    • You can't copy most of DLL and EXE in \Windows directory, this is simply because these are not files but modules.
    • You can check TouchXperience version in Settings or in WP Device Manager application list.
    • You should have a folder with device name in My Documents on your PC, place here the files you want to sync with the phone.
    • You can send toast notifications from any program on your PC using command line C:\Windows\WPDeviceManager\WPDeviceManager.exe /SendToast "message".
    • In order to use WP Device Manager from Windows Device Stage, you must have Windows 7 and driver signature verification disabled, unfortunately this is because Windows 7 recognize only digitally signed drivers.
    • Be carefull when using device restoration, incorrect usage or unexpected bugs may cause loss of data.
    • Don't use full backup/restore feature on custom ROMS!
    • If you get a message "Unable to launch TouchXperience" on custom ROMS it's because the ROM has some missing components, so you have to launch it manually.
    Please uninstall any previously installed version of WP Device Manager and TouchXperience on your phone.

    This beta is private for testing purpose, you are not allowed to redistribute it.

    All I am saying is why post this thread? Does the OP just want to taunt those that don't have the tool?
    Really, you "just wanted to post updates on the Beta Testing" that everyone else is not privy too?

    That is what's weak! Not Julien's work. He's doing real work! This thread is useless!!!!

    The goal of xda developers is to post information regarding development. That includes development in alpha, beta, closed or open. How in the heck is this different than any of the launchers in android that haven't been released, the programs users are developing for wp7, or any sort of development not released?

    xda is information and a place where users and develop interact to find solutions to common problems, where users can become developers, and inform users of development for their xda/samsung/wp/android device.

    So why does this thread exist? it's x - d - fricking a! That's why! So if you have a problem with imfloflo (moderator) posting this topic, take it up to PM and don't clutter the topic of what you feel doesn't need to be here.

    And yes that's what's WRONG with xda
