Title: WindowsMobile Issues - Recognition & Supported Filetypes
Post by: labambo on September 09, 2009, 01:40:55 pm
Hi Media Center Team!

I have following problem when synchronizing my Handheld:

System:
- Windows Mobile Phone (samsung omnia)
- Windows Mobile Device Center running on VISTA
- Media Center 14 (newest build)

Problem 1:
- When Media Center is running and my phone is connected and I disconnected the phone and reconnect it, MC doesn't recognize the phone anymore.
- I have to close MC completely and reopen it. After doing so the phone is recognized again.
- The refresh button in MC doesn't help.

Problem 2:
- I have several files in several folders on my phone.
- I want that MC only synchronizes the music files (mp3) in the folder "Music"
- I went to the synchronizing options in MC and set the supported files to MP3 only.
- I also made sure that all folders for data, video, etc are set to locations that don't exist (e.g. Images/). Only the music folder is correct.
- However, MC still shows me the jpg files on my phone that are in folders that are not supposed to be synced by MC.

Can you help me with those two problems? I would really appreciate it. As far as I know this problem already existed in MC13.

Thanks a lot...

Does Windows see it in Explorer?

Yes Sir. Windows sees it in the explorer as Mobile Device (not as drive in the normal folder tree). But I can access it in the Windows Explorer as Mobile Device.

I have the same problem with my system, along with an even more annoying problem.
System:
Windows 7 Ultimate. 64 bit
MC 14.0.151
quad core Athlon, 6 GB ram
WMDC-64
HTC Touch Pro 2, WM 6.5

Issues;
Same as above- the phone device is only discovered ONCE by MC14. If I unplug it, I msu restart MC or it will never be found, even though WMDC and Win7 can each find it.
Another annoying problem- I cannot get MC to write the files to the "Storage Card" path. It will only put songs into main memory. Tghis is totally bad, as I only have 85megs of main memory left, but 7 gigs or space on the storage card. It looks like MC cannot deal with the "Storage Card" symbolic link correctly.

I have a WinMo 6.5 HTC Touch on Win7 and while I've had some issues trying to use Active Sync over the years - I've have NO problems when selecting "Disc Drive" as the connection type when plugging the phone in.  My SD Card just appears in MC and away I go with no Active Sync in the way

It needs to be seen as a drive in Explorer.
