1273860 2012-05-06 08:37:00 Did you uninstall/reinstall zune stratex5 (16685)
1273861 2012-05-06 08:43:00 Did you download the software from here? ( www.nokia.com) stratex5 (16685)
1273862 2012-05-06 10:04:00 Try this ( www.ehow.com)

Tried it, no worky.


I dont think its your phone, I think its the software as I have seen a lot of complaints about this issue. How about doing a soft reset (i think its called).

Me too, but not that many fixes that work. In fact, none I've seen.


Did the fixit find any probs? Or tell you why its not working? Yup I can try and figure it out. Send me a txt when youre ready. What version of windows is it? Win7 as well?

XP SP3 and Windows Phone 7 (WP7). M$ Fixit did not come up with any errors and, fixes. E-Mail sent to you, thanks. At this stage, I'll phone you late morning?


Did you uninstall/reinstall zune

Several times, thanks.


Did you download the software from here? ( www.nokia.com)

Yup. By the book.

1273863 2012-05-06 10:27:00 so when you plug in the phone nothing comes up except for failed drivers. stratex5 (16685)
1273864 2012-05-06 10:30:00 If you open zune before you plug in your phone then plug in your phone would that work or is there a tab in zune which is for drivers. My LG optimus p920 had the same problem until i found the driver install tab. stratex5 (16685)
1273865 2012-05-06 22:49:00 so when you plug in the phone nothing comes up except for failed drivers.

The phone and PC separately seem to be working OK, it's that they won't communicate to enable a sync function between the two. The condition is notified by a phone icon on the PC Zune home screen that is inactive, apart from displaying "No device connected" when the cursor passes over it.

The 'failed drivers' scenario only enters the fray when I'm troubleshooting why no device is connected. There is no advice as such until you get into the diagnostics.


If you open Zune before you plug in your phone then plug in your phone would that work

Nope, that doesn't work.


or is there a tab in zune which is for drivers. My LG optimus p920 had the same problem until i found the driver install tab.

There is no settings page I can see.

May be best to leave this meantime rather than spend too much more time and effort on it. Thanks for that. Speedy has said he'll look at both PC and phone for me later in the week.

:thanks

1273866 2012-05-06 22:55:00 If youre plugging the Zune into a port, you're plugging it into a USB port, not a USB hub right? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1273867 2012-05-06 23:05:00 Zune is software. As part of the troubleshooting, I've tried plugging the phone into a PC USB port - and a USB hub as well. Makes no difference.

Just saw your PM from last night, do you have time to look at this for me now? Use 1234.

1273868 2012-05-06 23:18:00 Your TV isnt running. The ID may have changed, if it is running. It says youre hosting a meeting? So I cant log in. Make sure yours is on remote control Speedy Gonzales (78)
