WMDC and Pocket PC 2003

Hello,

I've just installed Windows Vista Ultimate (32-Bit). I tried to
synchronize my Pocket PC 2003 PDA with Windows Vista. The WMDC tries to
connect, but after a few minutes its just shows the message "Error" (in
my german locale "Fehler").

I've done a clean installation of Windows Vista, no beta or upgrade
scenario. I only use Windows Firewall, no third party tool. I get the
same results when I disable Windows Firewall before connecting.
I can access the PDA using the PDA item in the Windows Explorer,
therefor I can copy files to the device.

My problem is that I cannot sync with the device.

I`ve also tried to un- and reinstall WMDC after installing Outlook2k7,
which doesn't help.

Here are the logfiles which are produced after I've enabled logging and
connected my device.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
Have you synchronized the Pocket PC 2003 with other PCs? If you have how
many PCs? Do you sync with Exchange?

Hello Chris,

I did not before you asked, but used it now to check if its the fault of
the device which is not the case. I successfully synced with a Windows
XP Prof using ActiveSync 4.5. But my Vista still will not create a
partnership and sync (same "error" message in WMDC and logs are looking
the same).

The one with Vista and once with a XP box.

No.

Hello,

Do see anything listed under Portable Devices in the Device Manager? And,
can you browse the device's filesystem through the file explorer? Do you
even see the device listed in the file explorer?

Also, can you tell me the model name of your PPC and the exact OS version?

From the log:

wmdc Verbose: 0 : Could not obtain device WPD PnP ID

This tells me that we can't find your device through the IPortableDevice
interface, but you are connecting to the RAPI service.

Hi,
A possible problem is that you can only have 2 partnerships with the Pocket
PC. WMDC should prompt you to delete a partnership on the device.

If you are willing to consider a hard reset of the device it would rule this
out. However you will lose all your data on the Pocket PC.

Hello Steve,

Unter "Portable Devices" (Mobile Geräte) one item is present "HTC USB
Sync" and it only appears when I put the device in the docking station
and activate it.

Yes, that works fine.

> Do you

Yes, there is a category "Portable Devices" (Tragbare Geräte) in which
an entry "Pocket_PC" appears through which I can browse the filesystem
of the device.

It is a "T-Mobile MDA". Short model name is just "MDA". The "T-Mobile"
refers to a german mobile phone provider.

Microsoft Pocket PC 4.20.0 (Build 13252)

This device normally runs Pocket PC 2002, but T-Mobile offers an update
to Pocket PC 2003 which I installed last sunday (to be able to sync with
Windows Vista). Synchronization with ActiveSync 4.5 on a XP machine
works fine.

Cool.

Hello Chris,

since my last hard reset (on last sundays afternoon) the device was only
conected to my vista and my xp machine, therefore it cannot have created
more than two partnerships. :-)

But thanks for the idea.

Hello Steve,

can you tell me if my information was helpfull to you and if you have
any further ideas/comments for me? Is the problem something which
belongs to my special version of the PDA OS (fault of the PDA
manufacturer who build my Windows CE) or is it an issue in WMDC (which
will be fixed)?

Thanks
Florian

Hello,

I took a look at what you posted and passed that info on to another member
of my team to look at. It's strange that you'd be getting that WPD failure
in WMDC but are still able to browse the device through the file explorer.

Have you tried upgrading to WMDC 6.1 which was just recently released?

Hello Steve,

thanks again for the tipp. I installed the WMDC 6.1 a few days before
and nothing changed, but I was wondering, why the version number under
Help->Info was still something with 6.0.xxxx. I now tried to install
again and this time it worked (don't know why). And now with the new
version my PDA is detected even by the WMDC and currently synchronizing
my calender and contacts, therefore everything works fine now!

Thanks a lot to you and your time for reading all these messages and
answering and providing updates which help (even if I don't know why...
:-) ).

A short question at the end, what is this with these
online.microsoft.com mail addresses? Are they just for internal use in
the ngs, because some time (few weeks) before I tried to reach you using
my mail client but a got mailer daemon.

Thanks
Florian
