Whenever I try to open bluetooth, The message appears. Please help..
On what unit?
just soft reset .
but do people ask for help with problems without trying to fix it with a softreset ?
i mean i used to do about min 4 softreset a week because of issues
in that way pocketpc is much more like normal windows then palm and symbian and the likes
I've tried 4 soft resets but still the same...
My unit is an xda II..
It never happened before.
Please help...
Back up your data and try a hard reset at least you will then know if it is a hardware fault or just a temporary problem.
I just did a hard reset. Before restoring the device, bluetooth worked.. But after restoring it, the same message appeared when I click the bluetooth icon.
Need advice badly.. Is there any way I can backup data only (not applications) ??
I do have the same problem with an MDA-II from T-Mobile. It worked before but as I tried using it today I got the same error message you got. No solution found for this... can´t hard reset my device at the moment.

I don't think you can do that automaticaly but perhaps you would be able to identify your data file while exploring the unit through activsync and copy them to a folder on your PC. Then do you hard reset and copy back the individual data file to the correct locations on your XDA II

Mate, what kind of advice is it to recommend a hard reset as a solution :shock: He could have solved the problem on a much easier way.
sleekool, firstly the reason that the problem comes back after you restored the backup sounds very logical - as part of the restore process you also restore the cause of the problem. I think you could try the following two things:
If you have any BT device bonded under SETTING > CONNECTIONS > BLUETOOTH > BONDED DEVICES: Delete them there, do a soft reset and bond them again.
Other idea is to see if the SCARYBEAR tools at http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html - you should install both and you should every now and then manuallt start the CheckNotification and press CLEAR there (I run it every three days or so...).

I deleted my bonded devices, installed the sarybear tools but nothing changed. I am still unable to use bluetooth on my MDA-II. He still claims that there is no bluetooth hardware installed....
Any other hints?
A hard reset and restore loses nothing but does let you know the hardware is working or not.
I did the hardware reset now and bluetooth worked fine until I restored everything. I´d really like to know what caused this problem but don´t know where to go from here.
Just noticed that there is nothing left with "bt*" at WINDOWS\STARTUP ...
Anyone else with ideas what we could check out instead of hard resetting and installing everything again manually?
Someone else having this problem?

Start with a hard reset again and just install program by program (w/o any restore) and always check in between if BT is working... either you will find out what program caused the problem :idea: or you will find out that you must have caused it :lol:
I have to problem no also
No bluetooth hardware installed on this machine,
Has anybody found out wat the problem is :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :evil:
maybe some other device gotten hold of bluetooths com port ?
well activesync have all the data on it of cause as in contacts and .......
those would not require backup as they would sync to the device when it gets connected to the cradle again after the hardreset
and activsync have the add remove programs option which mean you dont have to do a full manual reinstall of the applications you want after the hardreset
and the data in my documents are always safe on the pc
the only stuff which one will have to do after a hardreset is to reinstall manualy all programs installed using cab files
and the settings like mms, wap, grps and such
not saying that i'm a big fan of doing hardresets though
Just had to do a Hard Reset, all other options didn't work, I am really upset now
Had done so many customizations, and now have to start from scratch, because i don't know what caused the problem, so I cannot do a backup reset
AND yes I do have bluetooth back again, but no longer the navman patches etc etc etc
then try and make sure that bluetooth works after you have installed each of the programs and addons you will install
maybe one of them are causing an issue with bluetooth
and when you are up and running with bluetooth do a full backup using activsync

hi forum...
I have an imate JJ & have been using it for 3 months now..
all of a sudden it refuses to synchronize with my laptop.
I tried the following but didn't wrk:
1) deleting the existing partnership.
2) uninstalling & reinstalling activesync.
3) tried installing both activesyncs( the one which came along in the cd & the one we have on our ftp).
4) hard resetted my device.
none of the above have solved the problem. my pc does recognize the ppc as a lan connection as it should. the activesync green icon in the taskbar also goes green && starts rotating, but it just keeps saying "Connecting" but never actually connects..
Please Help Me..
Thanx,
mOrph...
Hey,
Pune huh? Which part of Pune? I used to stay in Wanowrie Was a student at BVP Medical University.
Anyhoo, when you reinstall AS, make sure its on a drive different from the original install. Also make sure your firewall's are disabled (even the native SP2 firewall).
Hopefully, it should sync properly now. Let us know if it doesn't and we'll help you sort it out
Cheers.
Did you clear the notifications or something? If you used pocket mechanic or the like and delete one of them AS don't (& won't) work until you HR again, afaik.
Joe
that is correct. you can verify it by manually starting repllog on the PDA while ActiveSync tries to connect

I screwed up my AS on my JasJar doing some foolish & ignorant cleaning with ScareyBear's CheckNotifications, but was able to re-enable AS using this tool (no hard reset needed)!

hi, this also keeps happening to me.. not being able to sync thorugh USB. I am using bluetooth since a copuple of days and since that no problems, no worries. Just use BT to sync. hope this helps.
HELP
hi u guys...
I tried syncing after disabling the firewall of XP SP2 but it didn't help...
what else can be done?
Syncing through bluetooth is not an option as my laptop has a builtin bt with toshiba drivers which doesn't allow me to sync. && i'd rather not overwrite the toshiba stack with the widcomm... don't wanna add a prob to my laptop to remove one from my ppc...
is there any foolproof way of getting back at syncing thru usb?
pls help
regards,
morph
Happend to me
I solved the problem by connecting ppc to a laptop usb,then connected back to my main macine and bingo

Guys...
Activesync still not happening...
Pls help
When I got this problem, it was due to synchronising something it didnt want to sync, namely favourites and web pages. Try changing your sync settings to say just contacts, then just calendar, then just tasks etc... and work down the list until you identify the problem.
I would guess its your favourites.
let me know, and we will commence a fact find and test process for alternatives 1 by 1.
Activesync problem
Open Activsync but Don't turn your XDA EXEC on before you plug in the USB. Let acivsync turn the device on then give it a minute to find the changes. Hope this helps.

I sync via bluetooth since i had those problems as well, and NO problems since then. Moreover, using BT is much much faster, at least for me.

gotta love it when you try to help, offer multiple suggestions to some dude pleading for assistance multiple times, then get zero feedback as to the effectiveness of the fix (s) offered.

Sorry for the late reply dude...
I tried all possible solutions including your last given solution of trying to remove favorites... The problem is that On a fresh install of activesync, it doesnt even take me t the window where i choose my syncing options. It just keeps going green & round & says connecting. I manually tried to go to options through the menubar but everything except help is grey(disabled).
As for alnwick's suggestion.. I always have been doing that. Even on my Himalaya when i had Magneto, i used to switch off the device & let activesync wake it up.. It always helped but not in this condition... Dunno why... Its really sad that two M$ OS have so muchanimosity between em...
Is there any other solution that strikes u guys?
Hey Simon.. Really sorry buddy... I do appreciate all your guys help ALOTTTT... only problem is that my work hasnt been allowing me to be regular for last couple of days...
Thanx all for ur precious time....
Always

PS : Problem not solved as yet
Hi,
I have the same problem with my Exec too. However it doesn't happen so often. Probably once in every 10 successful sync. I always managed to fix it using the "old-fashion" manner.
1. Unplug your USB from your Exec
2. Reset your computer
3. Plug it in again once your computer has finish booting the OS.
It is pretty basic and I guess that you have already tried it yet. It works for me all the time when I do so. Sometimes I wonder whether could it be the USB connector on the Exec that is faulty or my computer USB port or the cable.
Hope your Exec will be up and running properly again.
Regards,
Johnnie

Hey Johnnie...
Thanx alot for the suggestion buddy.. Unfortunately, i tried that long time ago... Also, in my case atleast it cannot be the h/w (USB Connectors on ppc or pc or the cable) as i used to sync absolutely fine with 100% hitrate. Infact, every time u have a problem try this buddy :
1) Go to task manager of ur ppc & turn off everything.
2) Switch off ur exec.
3) Attach cable & allow the activesync to wake up your device.
It might increase your hitrate.
For all the other kind souls here...
I am attaching a snapshot of how my activesync window looks while it is trying to connect.
Thanx All

I have similar problem: Activesync tries to connect and after some time it says, it could not connect.
When I make a reset with the reset button, it works again for some time.
hmmm, what could it be?
Hi, I have owned a dopod 818 pro for about 1 month, and a new problem has come up. Synchronization used to work perfectly, but recently when I connect it to my computer, it will either read as "connecting" but not really making the connection, or show up on my computer as "synchronization error" without letting me know why. The latter is happening more frequently, and soft resets do not always help. Does anyone have similar problems?
Also, I have been wanting to automatically disconnect from GPRS/EDGE everytime the device checks emails (every 30 mins for example). How do you do that?
I've had similar Activesync issues. very annoying.
I find soft resets usually do help 95% of the time... but am close to doing a complete hard reset! :roll:
Quite possible that a firewall is blocking your AS software. Have you installed any AV or firewall software recently by any chance? If disabling your firewall's doesn't help, just uninstall AS and reinstall but this time do it on a different drive. This has helped many people over time and should probably help you out too.
A HARD reset of my device seems to have helped - for now! :twisted:
Unfortunately I have tried all the following:
1) disable firewall (zone alarm in this case)
2) uninstall then reinstall AS to a different hard drive
3) hard reset
I wonder if it has anything to do with the software I install onto the device. However, I have had it for over a month, and I use the same set of software the whole time (even after hard reset) - sbp pocket plus, pocket informant, phatnote. I am getting quite frustrated now, having to soft reset every time I want to synchronize the device. I think I may try to hard reset again and not install anything on it other than the data from my outlook, and see if that will work.
BTW, anyone know how to auto-disconnect GPRS/EDGE after the device automatically connects to GPRS and check email? I have tried to set the GPRS_autodisconnect in the registry from 0 to 1, but it doesn't work.
Thanks.

I share your pain. It's a big PITA to soft-reset just to have it sync up "properly". Just taking the device out of your cradle (for lunch, or whatever) and sticking it back in will result in sync errors :roll:
As an alternative, you can try hard reset, followed by a soft reset so that it does not install the applications bundled inside the ExtROM - I think they are the SmartDialer, Cyberon Voice Commander, and a couple others.
Hi, I had the problem - after disconnect from GPRS, I am unable to reconnect unless I reset the device. I just try Phone Alarm which has an icon to connect and disconnect the GPRS connection - and now I can disconnect and reconnect without problem. Give it a try. Download from http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
You use the Windows Mobile 5.0 for PocketPC ActiveSync patch for the 818 Pro to solve the problem
You can use the Spb GPRS Monitor to connect and disconnect the GPRS connection!
was going to upgrade to the new exec ROM today.... except Active sync decided to fail on me.
I'm running 4.1 on windows XP (SP2) and when i connect the exec via USB NOTHING happens at all, the little icon doesn't even go green or anything. i just get two "bum" and "bum, bum" sounds lol
However the LED on the exec does turn orange (the charging mode colour)
any help is much appreciated on how i can resolve this issue.
thanks everyone!
Check your ActiveSync connection settings (file -> connection settings) and make sure USB is enabled.
done that, and it is ticked....
i have also tried reinstaling active sync....
Turn OFF all your firewalls and try it again.
done that too........ followed the whole trouble shooting thing aswell... all in vain...
in the device manger from my desktop, under "network adaptors", "windows-mobile based device" is showed with a yellow circle with an explanation in it. it then states uunder "properties"
"The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28 )
To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver."
The usual reason that ActiveSync has is the firewall. I pull out my WiFi card, disable the firewall, then connect the cable.
Once the unit has been sync'd I can put the firewall back on and get back on the net.
YMMV.
If your firewall wasn't blocking it before, then it might not be this.
quck update. when i coneect now, in the task bar a little bubble apears stating "new hardware found"
then a box appears with "Found new hardware wizard" on it.
i have a similar problem:
when i connect, activesync does recognize and attempt to sync, but when it starts 'looking for changes', it never ends! it keeps on 'looking for changes' for ever, or at least VERY LONG, ending up with an error on my PC saying that synchronisation failed and that i should restart my desktop computer, which doesn't solve thw problem..
with my blueangel i never had this problem, although i was using activesync 4.1 already back then too..
ideas, anyone?

This is exactly what I have on my computer too. The only solution for me is to turn OFF windows firewall and all other firewalls I have, then active sync works as it should be. You have to remember to turn OFF all firewalls BEFORE connecting your Universal via USB for it to work. It will not work if you connect the Universal first then shut OFF all firewalls. It has to be the other way around.
Ok i have a simlar problem, but let me explain first:
I upgraded to winmobile2005 on my Himalaya which went well and without a hitch. I was on my parents pc and i active sync' without a problem.
Ive now come home, and i cant sync. It sits there saying 'Retreaving settings...' and just doesnt go any further. Ive soft and hard reset device, checked firewalls etc - no luck.
It has identified the old active sync name, but nothing else. I can explore the device before it crashes after looking though about 5 directories/downloading large files.
How can i remove the old sync information from the device (as i guess this is the issue)?
Cheers for your time,
Sam.
have you tried to delete that partnership?

If you already "Hard Reset" your device, then whatever information on it has already been erased clean to factory defaults, unless you are restoring from a backup program after the hard reset. Then I suggest you restore to a file prior to performing an active sync connection to your parents' computer.

Well yes it used to do that on WM2003, but it doesnt on this version. And im not using a backup program. Unless the program auto-saves to my storage card in some way? In which case whats the active sync file im looking for?

you're right! it did! (i already had turned firewalls off, i always do, hate them)
and to tbe last poster: are you using activesync 4.1 at your home?
Regarding Firewall
I've posted this earlier in another thread, but I guess it is not bad to post here again
Regards
------------
Thank you for your suggestion, I would however say this "Be Careful", I would NOT turn firewall completely if I were you guys, IF I have doubt that it is due to firewall, I would turn the firewall ONLY for the Universal interface
pls find the steps here
1. Start
2. Settings
3. Control Panel
4. Security Center
5. Windows Firewall icon in the lower part
6. Advanced Tab
7. UNCHECK the Network Connection that represents your Universal
Note,
A. To be sure that you are not disableing firewall on the wrong interface, please rename your Local Area Connection (x) to your Pocket PC device, so then you would know for sure you are dealing with the RIGHT connection (I use SPV M5000), renaming it is very easy, right click on the connection in the NETWORK CONNECTIONS, then RENAME
B. Disabling firewall for all connections IS VERY DANGEROUS especially IF YOU ARE ONLINE or ON A NETWORK, you might get SERIOUS problems, from viral infections to Hacking (only God knows)
C. The above applies only for WINDOWS FIREWALL on Windows XP Service Pack 2, I have no idea how to do it with Zone Alarm or ANY other software as I dont use any, but I think there must be someway to do so.
All the best & good luck.

Click to expand...

Yes, both locations have v 4.1 installed. Does no one know of the files i should be removing on my PDA then? :S
Blofse : there are no files to remove - you've already said that you've done a hard reset and returned it to the factory settings which removes all user data and therefore, the device has nothing on it at all about partnerships with computers - i would suggest looking elsewhere for a resolution.
Budo : I think your problem is the yellow symbol on the network card entry in device manager. In this case, I would unplug the exec, righht click on this network card entry and click remove. Then uninstall activesync. Make sure the actve sync folder is deleted and check the windows\system32 folder for files called rapi.dll and ceutil.dll (these might have gone during the uninstall, but check anyway).
Reboot your PC and reinstall activesync before plugging in your exec again.
Hopefully, this will sort you out but post back if it doesn't.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Hi
I have a Cingular 8525 running wm6 rom vp3g 3.0.0 , radio 1.50 I've been trying to conect the phone with the pc the orange led ligth up but there is not syncronization, I try soft and hard reset on the device without sucess and the pc conect without problem with other devices, please do someone can help me or point me in the right direction to resolve this problem and the other question is if I can flas the rom for other wm6 version from the store card
thanks.
Please could some one help me with this.
Thanks.
uninstall activesync... get the latest version from microsoft and install it... should be fine at that point...
Found that the advanced networking on WM caused me problems with Activesync and firewalls - Once i disabled it XP saw my 3100 as a plain ol serial device again..
Thanks, i'm going to try but i used my other 8125 phone and it is conectiong and this the 8525 is not conecting with 3 diferents PC, I was thinking if there is a way to flash the room again with the wm6 from the store card or over the bluetooth conection.
Have you looked at the Mr Vanx guides to help you solve this problem? The answer will almost certainly be found here: www.mrvanx.org
Good luck.
WB
Sounds like its the single phn.. check that network setting as it could be set correctly on the one that connects ok..
Wouldn't even bother trying to flash it over Bluetooth..
wao this been a pain, I try so many things, first remove the activeync, clean the temporary file from the c:/ drive then restar pc and fresh install the activesyn, went to the 8525 settings-conection-usb to pc and uncheck network and conect to the pc but nada nothing just the batterery stat charging but not link with the pc no even the pc reconize that there is a device conected to it.
please any other advice would be appreriate, the phone is working great but i have not comunication betwen the pc and the phone.
thanks.
mine has exactly the same problem.
It has been working with activesyn fine then today the PC wont even recognise the phone.
Tried remove/reinstalling activesync, new usb cable and even on a different computer.
The phone shows it charging when pluuged in but nothing else.
I'm NOT suggesting this is the problem you have but just a possible cause to eliminate:
Have you used Memmaid or any other application (Scarybear / Sktools etc ) to clear the notifications queue (clear duplicates for alarms etc). If you have then did you also clear other files. If you did then you may have deleted vital repllog files that make the computer and PC start Active Sync.
If you have not done anything like this then ignore this post.
Mike
Ok, i did not but if I removed by any chance some files removing other softwear how can we repair wm6 without the USB conection.
thanks.
hello I was checking my device information and it hasradio version 1.16, this could be the problem doing the sincronizatio? is there a way to upgrade the radio thru the store card instead fro the pc?
thanks in advance.
Kudos and many thanks for those who do so much for the rest of us...
I am having this problem as well, but only since I upgraded my base desktop to XPpro and Office2007. The error message given at times involves "mobile deviceX" hardware installation going awry; at this point, I am on device 10.
It also appears to be device independant for me; I just synced and upgraded a wiz100, which went fine and dandy until it rebooted with the new ROM. All new ROMs in fact, and devolving doesn't appear to stop it.
I believe there may be an XP registry screwup... but at this point, I got no idears whar ta go
Lost in Yokel mode
Later....
Chalk me up for #11...as usual M$ article is almost, but not quite entirely, USELESS!
maybe this'll help somebody else...but I kinda doubt it.

Mike, I believe this is what has caused ActiveSync over USB not to work on my phone either. I cleared several items from the running notifications area using Task Manager v2.7 in an effort to kill repeating alarm alerts. I have currently running are: tmail.exe, repllog.exe, clock.exe and calup.exe. Could you please provide a list of other processes that should be running to allow activesync to operate properly over usb? I have researched this problem in depth and your idea is the only thing that makes sense
thanks.

THIS WAS MY PROBLEM!
i was using pmClean to clean temporary inet files and notifications, and it seems to be causing problems with activesync. i hard-reseted my Magician and activesync is working fine in every computer i attach it (almost a dozen right now)
thx a lot for your help!
Ive had my HD2 for about 6 months working like a charm. A few days ago suddenly without any reason, I stopped being able to use WIFI. The wireless networks are found and i connect to them as usual but then, I only get DNS errors or server not found messages, as if I have some sort of a proxy misconfiguration.
I did nothing to the phone, didn't change any setting or installed any software, it just stopped working. I tried every possible configuration and as a last resource I hard reset the phone, then, everything works again as usual. Upon restoring my configuration performing a full restore with SPB Backup, again, I cannot connect to the internet. The hardware is clearly working and its a WM configuration issue of some sort.
Id hate to have to re-install everything from scratch because of an issue like this. Ive even tried importing connection manager registry settings from the hard reset version that works perfectly but that doesn't solve the issue either. This is so strange...
Any hints before I give up? Thanks to all in advance for the advice

Yes I know this, and I didnt do it. I tried different settings once the WIFI problems started but did a restore after that. This happened by itself without me changing anything in the first place!
Make a separate back-up of your PIM data, put all your CAB files in one folder and a hard reset should not take you more than half an hour to reinstall everything. You can even find on this forum how to make a .cab file for your email settings.
Once it all works, make a new back-up and you are back in business again.
