Device(s): htc s710
I've just got a shiny s710
and my pc is vista.

I tried the install cd and it moaned about me not having flash 8 (I have a newly installed flash 9!!)

but I had previously installed windows mobile device centre - which recognised my old xda exec and even spv c500!!

but it just wont see the s710

constantly moaning about not having device drivers etc.

i even downloaded the latest WMDC and that seemed to make little difference
in fact when installing that it also moans about not havign a device driver!!!

at this rate I will only be able to sync at home with missing sync on my iBook!! smile.gif

I have a similar problem but sounds slightly different. Mine partners up but can't sync. I can install programs and access the device for copying files but it won't sync. Says my "Internet settings are not correct". But it syncs fine over the air so I only use the USB for charging and copying files. Does it on both work and home PCs running Vista.

So if anybody had any luck synchronizing Vox with Windows Vista based Outlook ?
I'm getting new laptop (probably with Vista preinstalled) and I'm scared sleep.gif

I can partner and sync with my E650 and Vista. However this is the worst experience I ever had with a smartphone regarding sync:

* Sometimes the phone refuse to sync, WMDC keep saying there is an error. It takes many disconnect / reconnect (the USB cable) for the phone to sync (when it doesn't sync you can still access the phone for copying files)

* Sometimes when you connect the phone to the PC it loose its partnership (either the Exchange one or the PC one). It's very irritating and I never figured out why it does this (Fortunately when you recreate the partnership you don't have to recreate voice shortcuts or custom ringtones for contact)

I tried to switch on / off the advanced networking option for the USB connection. It seems to work better with this option turned off (and a lot better with the latest WMDC update)

I'm not running a software firewall on the Vista PC (not even MS one : disabled by corporate policy) and I'm using Avast as virus scanner. I have also eWallet installed on the smartphone and the PC (as it does have a sync on itself this may also create problems).

For now I think that it's all WMDC fault: as I also experienced some of this with my previous Qtek 8310 (without the irritating loosing partnership thing). Previously with Active Sync on XP I never had any problems whatsoever (from the first Orange SPV)

Regards,
Stéphane.

I have WinXP ActiveSync and SPVE650 and You know what ? Syncing with USB cable is one big pain in the ass ;-)
It works much better via BlueTooth (dunno why). Besides my phone also sometimes refuses to sync and loose partnership, but configuring it from scratch take me approx. 1 minute and the whole syncing experience is much better than f.e. with Nokia PC Suite or Motorola Phone Tools.

So the blame is on the phone and not on vista, I'll go bluetooth then and see if the "loosing partnership" issue doesn't come with it.

Yes except that with the first version of WMDC I had to recreate voice shortcuts and customize ring tones again for each contact and that is taking time. Also sometimes you do not notice that the partnership is gone and when you are about to use the phone: oops no e-mail or no contact on the phone! That's brilliant (though this do not happen anymore with the latest WMDC)

Anyway I love Windows Mobile phones because of the sync, and I agree that it's much better than all other sync software I had (paid sometimes) with other phones (Siemens / Sony / Nokia).

E650 and Vista Home Premium and they have synced perfectly since i got the phone.

Bit of a shame that it was only a trial version of Outlook and WMDC doesnt sync with Windows Contacts, sort of forcing you to Buy outlook!!

Standard Microsoft approach. It's the same with encrypting mail with Win Mobile 6 - You have to use Exchange Server, it odes not work with standard POP3/SMTP servers.
