Guest Brody Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 You need to install activesync before plugging in yours phone. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Will Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 to rememdy, try putting the usb plug in a different socket.. Otherwise see the post in articles about activesync not seeing my phone. Will
Guest Hero2zero Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Hi there It is still not working and driving me mental now. I have done a hard reset so it is "out of box" and whenever I connect it to the Cradle it switches to the CAR profile and refuses to be found by my PC. It is not even in my Device Manager to delete. Please help before I throw it out the window hehe Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Did you install Active sync before plugging the phone into the cradle? If not take a look at this link in the Articles section. http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=142
Guest Hero2zero Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Hi there No I didn't. I installed ActiveSync and then plugged in the phone via the Sync Cable. And during the connection process ( which I have to manually start ) it searches thru all the ports and doesn't find my phone... What would happen if i buy an infra red hook-up would that be any better? Many thanx
Guest nickcornaglia Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Try reinstalling ActiveSync.
Guest Hero2zero Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 I haven't got enough fingers and toes to count the times I've done it ... Can anyone help me, I'm stuck!!!! Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest James Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 did you install it as an administrator Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Hero2zero Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Yes I did It just doesn't recognise my phone is plugged in. I have tried Orange Tech Support and they are about as useful as a wet fish. Please could someone help. Would it work fine if I bought an infra red transmitter for my PC, would ActiveSync pick that up? Paul Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Maverick Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 Try starting ActiveSync on you phone.... Also... that searching for device thing in Activesync is pretty useless..makes a lot of noice. What you can try is connect the phone when "Searching for Device" .. i.e keep it disconnected until then.
Guest Hero2zero Posted August 21, 2003 Report Posted August 21, 2003 I have tried using ActiveSync on my phone and plugging in the phone when it is "Searching For Device" but nothing happens. Its as if my phone isn't connected at all.... Would using an Infra Red hook-up work better? Paul
Guest amo Posted August 22, 2003 Report Posted August 22, 2003 Not "better" but it should work if all else fails. Be warned as it is slow and connections are lost easily
