I've never had a problem sync'ing my BlackJack with WMDC. I'm not sure why you guys are having so many problems. The only thing special about my setup is that my laptop is only USB 1.1. Perhaps you should try connecting on a slower port? I hope that's not the case.

Now that I've installed this new version, I'm synching my Blackjack on my desktop with USB 2.0 ports without any problems. Prior to that, Vista kept treating the Blackjack as an MP3 player, even though it listed it as a Windows Mobile device.

So far I am not impressed. |
That duplicated device is the left over from beta version. I have to give mine a new device name as well.

That could be the issue with the beta WMDC. But if your PC/Laptop already have a USB 2.0 port, chances to find a USB 1.1 port is close to zero. Anyway, the official release seems solved issue for me so far.

Yeah I kind of figured that. Probably buried in the registry someplace. Pretty sloppy work on MS part if you ask me. It uninstalled the beta when the release was installed. Couldn't it clean up or know to carry over? Sheesh.

I will join this madness once I get my copy of Vista. I placed the order today, so sometime next week. I hope by then you guys will have answers to all the possible problems and hints & tips.

Well I found the leftover registry entries that MS forgot to deal with. The device name problem is solved. I can sync my 8525. My BlackJack gives a "connection not available" sync error. I'm telling you, AS in a new suit, same old smell.

Your issue is obvious: you need free up more memory on your phone. It has nothing to do with WMDC.
My BlackJack sync just fine. With old Beta WMDC, I need to plug/unplug multiple times before WMDC can successfully detect the phone to complete the sync.
Just applied the new WMDC and it sync right away successfully in the first try. |
I doubt I am having memory issues with a fully reset Blackjack. <see previous post>
However I did cure my sync issues, turns out WMDC did not like one of my reoccurring events, deleted that and it's syncing fine now.
Guess, new Vista, Office 2007, WMDC installs and a clean Blackjack...something was bound to un-sync me.

If you get stuck on the Sync process (i.e., after the partnership is established), try unblocking the following ports:
port990: open inbound TCP
port999: open inbound TCP
port5678: open inbound TCP
port5679: open outbound UDP
port5721: open inbound TCP
port26675: open inbound TCP
The "automatic" profile in OneCare only unblocked 990, so I had to do the rest by hand. Also, wmdhost.exe should be added to the list of allowed programs. This should happen automatically as well, but it's a good place to check if you are having problems syncing.
