PC Connection

[GavinB]

Hey all!

Having an issue with USB connection and my Tattoo!

Let me give you the background.

I got my HTC tattoo, got it home, plugged it in and it did the automatic install and worked fine, HTC Sync worked as well as data transfer. Sadly there was a problem with the phones battery and it was promptly returned to vodafone. I was supplied with a brand new Tattoo which works fantasticly, the only problem I have is that it will no longer connect to the PC and im unable to connect to HTC Sync or data transfer.

I have no errors at all on screen and the green light on the Tattoo lights up to signify that a connection is being made via usb (and charges the phone)

Heres what ive tried so far:

1: Ive uninstalled HTC Sync and Drivers and removed all traces of them from my computers registry and re-installed the software and drivers and restarted the phone and computer = nothing

2: Ive checked through the phone from start to finish and am unable to find anything at all that would stop data connection.

3: I've checked Device manager and it shows nothing about the phone when connected

4: The "safely remove hardware" icon in the bottom right taskbar does not appear.

5: HTC Sync doesnt recognise that a phone is connected when plugged in.


Please can somebody help!? I'm desperate to get some music on my phone!

What OS are you running ? I still can't get HTC Sync to work on Windows 7
Do you have USB debugging enabled on your handset ?
When you connect, are you prompted for mode (HTC sync or disk drive) ?
Have you installed the latest / correct USB drivers on your PC ?

I now have syncing nicely with a XP laptop and can sync Outlook / etc as well as installing apps although I did have to use the latest HTC USB drivers (Google for it).

Windows Vista - 86x

Unsure on if I have USB Debugging enabled.

I'm not prompted by the phone for disk use or sync use (have it ticked to notify)

Will try the HTC USB Drivers when I get home from work!

Although they state for Windows 7, might fix Vista problems as well.

Create a folder in the root of your SD card as follows and put your sounds in them, works fine on my tattoo
audio\media\ringtones
audio\media\notifactions
audio\media\alarms

I got a Tattoo last Thursday & starting to really love it

I've got HTCSync working on 64 bit Windows 7 by following the instructions posted here
Workaround for HTC Hero Sync Problem in Windows 7 My Digital Life
and using the 64bit drivers that are available for download on that page.

Thank you but please note I am running Windows Vista 86x not Windows 7. Thanks anyway.

i had the same problem with my girlfriends HTC Tattoo, i`m using Win 7.

I got it to work by firstly connecting it to pc, then rebooting the phone whilst its still attached to pc via usb cable.

 

[MaxiP]

I still can't connect using Win 7 but I am running HTC sync v2.06 as opposed to 2.04 in the referred article. I can connect to phone & browse SD card but can't install apps.

Can anyone who has this working upgrade to 2.06 to see if they can still sync ?

Thanks

Sorted! Got it working by rebooting the Tattoo while connected to the laptop! Thanks for the tip!
