ActiveSync reconnect problems

Haven't seen this problem on the forums, sorry if it's already been solved. I hook up my Wizard to my computer, activesync runs mighty fine. If I try to reconnect it, the device says "looking for changes" ad nauseam and I have to wait 5 minutes or so to get the not working message. If I pull it out before (and I think even if I wait for the message to come) then the Wizard starts running dreadfully slow. I run Vbar and I had to remove it because everytime this problem would occur, Vbar would freeze up as soon as I activated the drop-down menu.

I am suffering from the similar issue. The only workaround I have found is to kill Outlook in the Running processes tab under Memory app. Wizard then runs fast again.

I don't run outlook on my ppc so I don't know what to do to get the same result. I know now tbat if I wait long enough that I can transfer files after getting that error message but I still get that wait + error message in the first place.

I would then delete the partnership on both PC and PPC and re-establish it using new names for both of them.

Problems With Avtive Sync

Hi,
I have seen this topic being discussed many times, and I have read a lot of threads. Tried all. But no solution.
I am having problems with Active Sync
Active Sync 4.1.0.
---------------------------
ROM Version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
ROM Date: 3/9/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Ver: 413.1.03
CPU: OMAP850
Model No: WIZA200
Platform: PocketPC
---------------------------
I tried it on 2 different Laptops.
No Firewall. Windows Firewall disabled too.
Tried innumerable reboots and Reinstalls.
I have ActiveSync 4.1.0 -- this came in the CD with the Wizard.
I also installed the latest version downloaded from the net.
When I connect the Wizzard to the PC, the Active Sync application starts and the Green balls starts to spin.
Its goes on spinning and spinning and spinning.
Nothing happen after that. It just goes on spinning.
What should I do ??
Please suggest problem areas and resolution.
Thanking all in anticipation.
Sandeep

I had to deinstall the firewall and then it halfway worked.
I ended up using IR for synching and there it works fine.
Try once IR to sync. Start communication on the Wizard..

Does Wizard have IR (Infrared)?
My Wizard does not seem to have it? Am I missing something?
Could it be some issue on the PDA side ?
Do you think, I should Factory Reset the Wizard?
I installed Active Sync on 2 different laptops and both gave me same problem as mentioned in the original post ....... When I plug the Wizard Active Sync starts and the green circle keeps spinning endlessly.
Pls advice.
Thx
Sandeep

Hey !
plz check & confirm the following :-
1. which Windows ur using, Active sync only works with winXP and not with winVISTA.For Winvista u got to use another application called 'Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.
2.Check ur Usb data cable,is it the proper one and compatible with ur wizard.
3.Download Active sync ver 4.5 (Latest from Microsoft)
4.Check ur Firewall settings,does the firewall allows the active sync in the exceptions settings,if not,either disable firewall or add active sync application to the exceptions list in the firewall settings.
5.disable if any Anti virus program installed.it usually starts checking for viruses, while starting a new application.
I do hope these might solve ur problem,Goodluck

(1) PC: Win XP - SP2
(2) USB Data Cable is good, cause as soon I plug the device, the Active Sync application starts on XP - Detects a Mobile Device.
The problem is the Green Wheel keeps rotating endlessly. And does not move to the next step of Syncing.
(3) Active Sync 4.1 (this came on an original CD pack with the Wizard)
Tried Active Sync 4.5 too. Same situation
(4) Windows Fw - Disabled. TrendMicro Exited. No other firewall exists.
What should I do ?
Please advice.
Thx

I know that you already said no other firewall exists, but are you running any VPN Client software?
I have exactly same situation when I activate my VPN Client software (Nortel Contivity) - the device connects as a LAN but ActiveSync no likey - green big wheel keep on turning. Soon after disconnecting the VPN, the ActiveSync works.
p.s. Yes Wizard has IR - on same edge as camera button, approx middle.

No Firewall & No VPN Client either.
Hey, Yes!! I see the IR on the Camera Button side.
But no IR port on my Lenovo. Pitty!!
BTW, how to setup & Use IR from Wizard?
I do not see any configuration icons in the CONNECTIONS tab.
I have the following Icons:
Beam
Bluetooth
Connections
CSD Line Type (Not sure what this is)
GPRS Settins
Network Cards
Wireless LAN
Thats it.
Look forward to some more help.
Thx

thou I have Disabled Windows Firewall in Control Panel, I think it is still active in some form.
Is there any other way to disable it 100%.
I am sure its some firewall thingy which is causing the problem.
The OS detects that a new mobile device is connected, starts Active Sync Apps and then the Green wheel keeps rotating.
I am sure the Wizard and XP are not able to communicate further due to some port blocking or packet drop or something like that.
I exited TrendMicro and Disabled XP Firewall.
What else should I look at?
Thx

the green wheel keeps on turning cuz it's trying to synchronize and update the folders on ur pc from ur phone.
ok,plz tell,when u say that it detects ur mobile device on ur pc,can u use the File folder in Activesync window ? well if u can explore or do u have mobile device shown in activesyc,if its there,click it,does it open further and open different folders on ur phone,if it does than its just some bug in ur pc which keeps it turning.
secondly,try to delete ur partnership with activesync and ur pc and connect as a guest,than if it still keeps on turning or stops ?

ActiveSync not opening on PC

I have a Sony laptop running Windows XP. I had installed Activesync 4.5 and when I click on it to launch the program, nothing happens. When I connect the Touch HD to the computer via USB, activesync still doesn't pop up on the computer. I opened up Task Manager on my PC and saw that every time i click on Activesync, it shows up under processes for 2 seconds, then disappears. This is with firewall, antivirus, etc...disabled. What is preventing Activesync from launching on my laptop and how do I fix this? Any help would be appreciated....Thanks!

Try Start-Settings-Connections-USB to PC
Make sure "Enable faster data synchronization" checkbox is unchecked.

activesync still not starting up...any other suggestions?

Looks like a problem with the ActiveSync installation on your laptop. As with any Windows app - standard procedure is to uninstall & reinstall.
If that does not help, download a new copy from the Microsoft website and uninstall & reinstall.

still not working
i uninstalled Activesync 4.5 and reinstalled. restarted laptop and all....same problem.
Then I uninstalled 4.5 and tried 4.2, still same problem.
Activesync just won't open.

How do you disconnect act sync?

Please help, I have a touch vogue wm6.1 , there is no icon to disconnect actsync as there used to be on wm6, i connect my htc to the pc with a usb cable to do internet sharing, but it starts sync , and I can't find a way to disconnected manually. any solutions please.
than you.

I've been using Killsync: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/killsync.htm for quite a white with no problems at all.
I have it in Quick Launch on my Windows XP computer. Just select and it shuts down Activesync and goes away.
I am usually connected via USB and it is a nuisance to be repeatedly shutting off the Touch.

If you have ActiveSync on your PC, you can choose which files to sync, simply uncheck all of the boxes so that nothing syncs to your computer. This way you do not have to download and install any programs on your vogue.

or go to start, run, type msstartup or msconfig and uncheck the activesync and wescomm and there's another process too, i forget, I'm on win7 now, so Im not quite sure. no need for added programs to take care of disabling the program from the startup list....

[Q] ActiveSync problem.

Hi everybody,
please I need help.
Today when I tried to sync my device with my notebook i have got a problem. The device connected, then a long long time there was the status " Looking for changes". After this long time I got the status "Synchronization error". After this it seems the device is synchronizing. I can not understand this. I have nothing changed or installed on my device.
I tried to reinstall the ActiveSync but it did not help, the same happened after soft reset.
Thanks for advices!!!

Which Windows Version are you running? XP or Vista? I use Vista and sometimes I have the same problem, which is usually solved by restarting the computer and connecting again. If that does no do the trick, try a different USB port.

If I am understanding you correctly, this has happened to me before. The sync error would occur when I had "documents" checked as an item to sync. Unchecked it, and did not get the error again. Could be one of the other items syncing causing the problem, though.

ive had issues in the past with sync. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit with Outlook 2010. Most of my issues would stem from me doing flashes on the phone and not ending my past partnership on the phone.
If possible try ending your partnership with the phone and setting up a new one. Make sure your Outlook is working if you use it. I was having a few issues with my Outlook not opening and I would get sync errors because more than one instance of Outlook was running. I would goto task manager and shut them all down and re-start Outlook and the sync would work. In other cases I would just re-start my system.
If your having problems with your phone not being recognized on your system maybe you should goto the device manager and uninstall the HTC Phone from the list and let it re-install the drivers.
You might also have some luck installing the Active Sync drivers for the MTTY flash. You can find them by searching on here.
Not sure what else could be the problem....corrupt registry entries? dont know!

I'm getting a similar problem. My HD2 connects fine if I select Disk Drive option. But if I select the sync option the phone does not recognise. The phone also recharges through usb cable as well no problems.
When I check the Device Manager I find a MS Win Mobile Remote Adapter shows following error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". Also occasionally get a small popup window that says Error with an OK button and nothing else.
Any help would be good.
Thanks

first disable the "Enable faster data synchronization" in connection options, as described here - it could help,
if not, you could try the steps described here, usually it works for me

It is a miracle for me. I have found out, that my device is synchronizing the calendar items at least. The synchronizing is done after the message " Synchronization error" appers on the PC. I can not understand this at all.
