Guest marc112 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Hello everybody, time for my first post on this forum! Happy owner of a Hero for 2 weeks now, but I have a problem with HTC Sync 2.0.4: When the Hero is not connected to my notebook, there is some activity on the notebook every 4 seconds, shown as a short flash of an hourglass next to my mouse pointer. It took me a couple of hours to pinpoint this back to HTC Sync. Apparently, one of the processes needed for HTC Sync, HTCVBTServer.exe, keeps very active all the time even when the Hero is disconnected. Every 4 seconds, tt spawns and kills a new instance of an other process called FsynSrvStarter.exe. Leading to the very annoying flashing hourglass every 4 seconds. :) I found some more information on this: http://www.htcforums.com/hero-touch-f40/ht...mory-t2791.html The only way of stopping the flashing hourglass is killing the process HTCVBTServer.exe in Windows Task Manager.. Of course, HTC Sync doesn't work anymore after that, even after restarting HTCVBTServer.exe. Question 1: anybody else with this problem? Have you found a way to solve it? Question 2: I want to install the previous version of HTC Sync (I think it was called 2.0.2) that was on the SD card, to see if that version has the same problem. Stupidly enough, I formatted my SD card and lost the program file. I've looked around everywhere on the internet (including htc.com), without success. Would anybody be so kind and send me this previous version of HTC Sync? EDIT: have received install file, so please ignore question 2. Thanks for your help, best regards, Marc Edited September 20, 2009 by marc112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marc112 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well, the install file I received was version 2.0.4 too :) So I am once again looking for version 2.0.2. Is anybody willing to help me and send it to me or provide me with a download link? Thanks for your help! Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CombinedEffort Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Can I add a 'me too' for 2.0.2? 2.0.4 is a PoS! Rich p.s. Trying to install Orange update ROM - I assume you need a working HTC Sync before you can do this... p.p.s Argh! Windows! Sooo much easier to just flash the fricking ROM from the command line!

No, you don;t need a working HTC Sync to update. HTC Sync is just used for the drivers. It goes via Fastboot/ADB and HTC Sync installs the HTC version of the ADB drivers along with a few other bits. If you know how to flash from the command line, do it that way, as that is all the RUU does in the end anyway, it just automates it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marc112 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Is nobody else having the problem I described? And nobody who has version 2.0.2 for me? :D I have monitored HTCVBTServer.exe with Process Explorer: with the Hero disconnected from the pc, it creates two additional handles every 4 seconds (explaining the flashing hourglass). So: 20000 handles in 24 hrs. If I'd leave my pc on for a couple of days, XP would certainly crash. Serious bug! And annoying hourglass every 4 seconds.. I have made a workaround by suspending HTCVBTServer when my Hero is disconnected and resuming it before I sync, but would appreciate to get version 2.0.2 from somebody and see if that works better. BTW I contacted HTC via email: 'we do not have older version, try to get from somebody else. RE: problem described: please reinstall' :) Cheers, Marc Edited September 22, 2009 by marc112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marc112 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, I finally managed to test version 2.0.2 of HTC Sync. Same problem as in 2.0.4: process HCTVBTServer.exe is leaking handles.. As a workaround I now manually suspend and resume HCTVBTServer via 2 tiny batch programmes on my desktop. Hope HTC will fix this in a future release of HTC Sync. They had no clue at all what I was saying when I contacted them, so might take some time :) Cheers, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlunJ Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Similar issue here with Windows 7 64bit. This morning my HDD was flickering constantly which I thought was odd as Win7 usually runs so well. A quick look in taskmanager and HTCVBTServer.exe was using some CPU on and off every few secs (phone disconnected). Uninstalled HTCsync and the problem has gone. I think ill just wait for a new version and hope they fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hnsez Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) HCTVBTServer.exe is the biggest POS on my XP SP3 PC it makes online gaming impossible HTC Sync is a HORRIBLE way to tether Edited February 9, 2010 by hnsez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jdwis Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 hi I have similar problem with this. The mouse keeps flickering from ideal to busy states, even if system is not really doing anything.. I was very much worried abt that flickering thing, I thought my system was infected with maware or adware, it took me quite few hours to finally spot the problem that it was HTC Sync.. You mentioned if anyone spotted this or not, I assume people might be quite busy to overlook this issue.. but this issue is certainly there... (I assume) as you mentioned I would try the solution.. Initially I thought it could be the problem with Win7, so I freshly installed XP and tried that as well but the problem persisted on XP as well.. Hope HTC people get some sort of proper solution...

Guest Doul Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Same problem. Killing "Teleca" from XP autorun, stops this "strange activity", but launching HTC Sync starts it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
