Hello,
Ever since I updated my T-Mobile XDA to the 2003 Rom, my active sync will not recognize the device while hooked up to my PC via USB. I saw someone posted a similar problem, but solved it by disabling their computers firewall. I have tried this and still no luck.
Can anyone offer any further assistance for me?
Thanks
Same problem here, but with kitchen 4.00.11 ROM (without T-Mobile customisation). Have no problem at work, cannot get it to work at home.....

Did you try upgrading activesync to 3.7 or doing a complete re-install of activesync?
Be sure to run the latest version of Activesync. (right now:3.7)
I had the exact same problem before I did...

stink and cpu time
is it just me or does active stink really eat up cpu cycles?
both my core and surface go through the roof when its sync'd but fine when its just connected..... when you stop syncronization or pull out the xda... the temps go back down to 33*c and 34*c respectively.... takes up 80+ % of time....
am I the only one with problems like that or have Microsoft just proved they dont have a clue about technology?
running v3.7
sync problems
I have the same issues on mine - can't sync via usb - tried three computers no workie - but ipaq syncs ok
reinstall active sync doesn't work
I can sync via IR w/no problems though
Please note MS stipulate that ActiveSync 3.7 is required for PPC2003 Xda II.
Serial and Infrared work fine with 3.6, but not USB.

Which ROM version are you running 4.00.10 or 4.00.16?
4.00.16
Just Reset Your PDA then connect your usb again
(Work with my xda 4.00.05 & ActiveSync 3.7.1)
Hi all. Heard there's a newer version of ActiveSync on another thread. namely Activesync 4.1. Can anyone give any feedback confirming this (although I think it's still in Beta stage). If so, isn't it worth a try given the problems encountered on the Universal using just Activesync 4.0.
Someone must know!
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28535
Well I have it installed and I don't see anything different. Probably bug fixes. Won't harm to upgrade.
i have 4.1 running, dont know if its connected to the activesync on universal always restarting but i can only sync with pc if i have the universal powered off, then when plugging it in i see the orange power led kick in, 10secs ish later active sync will start,
if i plug in when switched on i get a error bubble on pc saying i have a malfunctioning device, power off and plug back in, wait a bit, i have a working syncing device. wierd!!!!
i only got usb1 on this lappy and my other has 2.0 had same problem, so i dont think its a usb problem
no bugs on my side
i installed 4.1, and it works like a charm on both pda2k and universal

It took a while to work out, but here it is: Skype works fine as long Activesync is not on. In the old machines, AS would kick in and appear in the memory only after you sync'd. Here it comes up automatically, whether you sync or not. In fact, you should see Active sync running in the background virtually always.
Clicking on the memory you'll see its always on, you press stop, and Skype works for 5-10 minutes, until AS turns tiself back on.
Any fixes for this in the registry?

Great stuff Nabil! Now, can someone please check if there are still issues with ActiveSync causing problems with Skype? I would do it, but I don't have my Universal yet! Waiting on the MDA Pro or Exec.
I'm not entirely happy that Activesync is workig the way it was intended & as I was unable to get this confirmed from several forum members, I ventured out of Xda developers.com to seek confirmation of my doubts.
I ended up reading a review of the new Dell Axim X51v Pocket PC, which as you may or may not know, uses WM 5.0 (but less the phone side of things). Not exactly to my surprise, i found that even in non-phone PPC devices, Active sync is a bit of a cause for concern!

Windows Mobile 5: Not All is Golden
I won't delve too much into Windows Mobile 5 in this review, since I'm focusing on the X51v itself, but I found Windows Mobile 5 very painful in two ways when I was setting up and using the X51v. First, after a hard reset I connected the X51v to my PC and set up a new partnership. ActiveSync 4.0 has a different partnership wizard if you have a Windows Mobile 5 device, and it's quite intuitive. I entered my hosted Exchange account information, then watched as basically nothing happened. The X51v synchronized with my desktop PC, but coughed up an 0x85020006 error when the device tried to sync with the Exchange server. ActiveSync 4.0 removes the option for Internet passthrough - I assumed that meant it was automatic, but after fighting with Connection Manager on the X51v for 15 minutes I gave up and disconnected. I turned on WiFi, and the X51v saw my access point - I entered my WEP key, started ActiveSync, and clicked sync. It worked! Within a few minutes I had all my data on the X51v - but why wouldn't the synchronization work in the cradle? I have no idea, but it's a serious problem.
Later, I wanted to see if a particular ActiveSync bug had been fixed: I've always had the problem where, after a backup and restore, the Pocket PC has been unable to synchronize against the Exchange server again. Only a hard reset would allow the Pocket PC to sync again. On the X51v, I did a backup using the included application, then hard reset and a restore. I restore the device, then after a soft reset I noticed the date was wrong. No matter, I fixed it and started a sync session. Much to my delight, the sync actually started, which is sometime that wouldn't have happened under Windows Mobile 2003SE.
My delight turned to disbelief, then anger as I saw what ActiveSync was doing: it duplicated 900 contacts, 50 emails, and 6 months worth of appointments! No warning, no "Replace, Remove, or Combine" dialogue box, simply a duplication. It will take me hours to fix this manually, unless I can find a tool to remove duplicates. I have memories of such a tool, but at this point I haven't had time to track one down. Any suggestions for one that will work with Outlook 2003 and an Exchange server? I'm unsure as to whether this is a problem with Dell's backup application, or with ActiveSync. The bottom line is that in this instance Exchange ActiveSync remains broken after a restore - and I'd rather have it break completely then duplicate all my data, so from my point of view it's actually gotten worse. I didn't think that was even possible!
Suffice it to say that while Windows Mobile 5 brings with it several key advantages - persistent storage is amazingly helpful - my experience with it so far has been mixed (WMP 10 Mobile retains its horrible library functions), and I have no shortage of feedback for Microsoft at the MVP Summit coming up in a few weeks. Windows Mobile 5 feels like one step forward and two sideways.
End of this part of the review. Full Review here: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,43092&start=2
What do you guys think? I think quite a few problems Universal owners are experiencing will dissapear once MS fix their ActivShite application!
Apologies if this has already been covered 100 times...
Any other Wizard users having problems with Activesync? I'm using v4.1.0 of Activesync on my XP machine...and it will sync fine after I boot for 3-4 connections and then craps out. By crap out I mean that Activesync won't even start when I connect to the PC....and it won't recognize the device if I run connection wizard again. After reboot, works fine again.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Yup, common problem. I find that rather than a reboot if you go into task manager and shutdown wcescomm and then restart activesync it usually works ok.

Hello
I have posted this on the Artemis board, but got no reply.....
I have an O2 XDA Orbit that uses Push Email and exchange server syncing. Recently I have noticed that if I turn flight mode on at night and then off in the morning, it requires a soft reset to get the system to sync my email and calendar via GPRS. Up to a month ago this was not an issue and it has manifested itself on both WM5 and WM6. The server is running on 2003, but was upgraded to 2007 (at which point all fell down!!). Server was rebuilt with original 2003 settings and it works, but I get this niggly problem in the mornings when trying to sync on my way into work. Reception is good, but the GPRS will not open a session until the phone has been reset.
The following information is taken from the device:
ROM version - 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date - 18/4/2007
Radio Version - 02.67.90
Protocol Version - 4.1.13.28
ExtROM Version - 3.4.206.101
The irritation with the WiFi is that the option to close a WiFi session from the top bar on the screen has been removed and now you need to go into the Comms Manager to close a session.....anyone worked out a way of retrieving the old functionality?
Regards
Fucawi
