Guest mgrosh Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I have a MPx220 (duh) and so far on two different PCs i can not get ActiveSync to see the phone via the USB cable. When you plug you Phone into the USB cabe does it change your profile to "car"? Does windows detect it as a new device when you plug it in?

Guest japester36 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Mine works fine, it doesn't change the profile at all when you plug it in. The first time I plugged it in then the PC recognized the MPx220 as a new device. Interestingly, when it was turned off and plugged in again then it was recognized as different device. This is normal according to Motorola and actually is detailed in the firmware upgrade process. Sorry I can't explain your problem. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ShaneBoyd Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Th ephone sounds like it is working fine. Try another USB cable and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mgrosh Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well i tried cleaning with alcohol ( i thought that was a great idea) but it still didn't work.. So i stoped by the cingular store on the way home and brought him my cable.. He replaced it with a new one.. Out of courisity i asked if he had a pc we could test it on.. (so far when ever i plugeed it into a PC the profile changes to car and the computer does not detect a new device) any how it still did not work with the new cable.. the guy helping me called someone at another store who had some experence with the MPx220's and we decided to try another phone with my SIM in it... Ding the PC detected it right away... so the whole time it was a hardware problem with my phone... the store swaped out my phone for the other.. and im happy now... If only they could get voice dialing to work over bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
