File transfer from Audiovox SMT 5600 to PC

[Guest raptown]

Hello to everyone! Does anybody know why can`t I transfer a rar file from my audiovox 5600 to PC (It also happens with photo´s and mp3´s). I can drag ém to my phone but not backwards.

My firewall is already set to off but files won´t transfer to PC...any idea???

(I did it through "drag and drop" using usb ´s windows/activesync explorer)

Thanks in advance!!

Anyone??

Where do you put the files on the phone?

Have you tried Copy/Paste instead of drag and drop?

Does it always happen with that filetype, or can you do some .rar's and not others?

I´ve tried copy/paste...I put the files on a Kingston 256mb miniSD. It is strange because i can transfer cab files to pc but not rar or zip´s. The transfer window appears but as the progress line reaches half of it, it disappears and the file is not transfered.

What could it be?? :roll:

Thanks for your reply

Not sure if this might be the cause, but try turning off the file conversion in ActiveSync, if not done already. Tools - Options - Rules - Conversion Settings...

i think i´ve tried everything! Even turning flight mode on. There is no way to transfer to pc...it´s weird...when i try, it even shows progress bar going till the end as the file being copied but the file won´t appear on pc windows

Maybe it has some kind of factory block...o i should try a 3rd party transfer application.

is there anybody with the same problem?

(i suspect it has something to do with XP new security issues)

I just tried a .rar file. I copied it from my pc to my phone's mini-sd card, disconnected from ActiveSync, reconnected to ActiveSync, and copied the file back to my pc. No problem.

FWIW, I was facing north, monitor facing south of course, and the phone was laying with the top facing west. Maybe there's some effect from polarity...?

jk of course ;)

[Guest raptown]

jajajaja! It doesn´t work either...well, I install activesync on another computer and it works fine!!

Windows XP has done it again...I guess my "inactive" firewall has something to do...I´ll solve it eventually

Thanks guys!
