Is there any other program alternative to activesync?
Regards,
Primoz

guys, i've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling activesync 3.7.1 and 3.8 ... i still can't sync ... could it be the sync cable ? but when i connect the cable the mini's battery meter shows that it is charging ... but still, it is not syncing with the PC ...

The cable is just a standard mini usb cable, they are cheap, so you could try another one. But I rather think it is some usb isue on the desktop machine.

guys, thanks for the replies ... i just used a different usb cable and now the mini and my desktop syncs perfectly

There might have been some bad electrons stuck in the old cable...
:wink:

I think I heard about firewall disturbing the active sync connection. Do you have an active Windows or third party firewall?
Don't have a 3rd Party firewall, I also have a ipaq 3870 which as no problems with activesync, any suggestions

Big ActiveSync Problem

I've bought today a Qtek S200.
IPL/SPL: 2.09.0000
GSM: 2.07.20
OS: 2.9.7.28
The first I did was a Hard Reset to the Qtek S200 and then...
Because of the problems with some application and antivirus I did a complete format to my computer. I just installed WinXP PRO SP2, all the updates from Microsoft Update, .Net Framework 3, Outlook 2002 and ActiveSync 4.1 (both came in the CD from Qtek). (I have also disabled Windows Firewall).
Then I think, I've done all the steps right (I think):
1) I connected the USB cable to de PC
2) I tried to plug the USB cable to the Qtek S200 when te PPC was OFF and nothing happened. Then with the Qtek S200 ON (in today's screen) I plug the other side of the USB cable and ActiveSync does not recognize my S200.
I dunno what to do to make ActiveSync syncronize with my Qtek S200, could you please help me???? I've been trying to syncronize for more then 6 hours (doing all the stuff...)

Try this:
remove your activesync (de-install the software)
reboot your pc
turn on your qtek without the usb cable attached
plugin your qtek on the usb cable.
Does you pc find the device ?? (ding dong sound)
yes ? good, your pc finds it.
take out the usb again
install activesync 4.2
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync42.mspx
try again, and see if it works.
My PC does nothing when I connect the S200...

If the USB cable connection does not work, it is possible to update ROM via Bluetooth ActiveSync syncronization????

It might work, however I would first look into why you usb doesn't work
when you plugin the usb cable, do you see the phone charge ? (led ontop change to orange) you might have a bad cable or you pc has a problem with the usb port (have your tried another usb port ? or removing all usb devices and only using the phone cable ?)
Yes to all.
When I connect the USB cable, the Qtek begins to charge the battery, and the orange led flicks.
I have tried on my PC and on my Laptop and didn't work in any of both.
I have tried with only he USB phone cable and did not work either.
Anyone has tried to update ROM via Bluetooth???
THNX,
Annita
Annita, make sure you have DHCP turned on on your PC. The virtual USB NIC should come up as 169.254.2.2, I believe. I was never able to get it to work without using DHCP on the PC side.
What is the virtual USB NIC????
Annita
When you plug in the USB cable, the PC creates a "fake" network adapter for the PPC and adds that to your list of network connections.
Just make sure DHCP service is started. Right-click My Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> DHCP Client.
OK, the service was and is ON.
The thing is that I can syncronize via Bluetooth, but not with the USB cable (and I have the original cable and another mini-USB cable).
Annita
Bluetooth Activesync Sycronization will not work b'coz while upgrading, the phone resets itself, N it powers on in the upgrade process therefore, bluetooth of the phone will not be available then.
So, I dont its possible 2upgrade via bluetooth Activesync.
OK, thnx.
Annita
anita and the usb
anita, go to start setting control pannel, go to phones and modems and see the modems are installed there. windows (sh***t) store all the garbadge possible. can be that it identfy usb device like usb modem and put it on com 1 not that active sync works auto on com1. so check connection settings on activesync. + which use port you use? fron pannel or the rear of the PC?
is that a laptop if yes what model.
i'll try to help as much as i can
xman
ok, i have the same problem as you do, or at least a similar. i cant get my sync to work...
active sync 4.2
active sync says "critical communication error, try restarting your device", the active sync troubleshoot tells me that i dont have a ip adress (the link to microsoft does not work), although i have a network connection that my pc created (169.254.2.2). the active sync even appears in green.
my firewall and the win firewall does not interfere with this. switching off the firewalls does not improve this at all.
does anyone know a solution to this? thanks
I'll try what xmanmaster says, but I'm not at home until sunday...
Thnx,
Annita
Did this problem ever get resolved? I have the same issues, tried a wizard and a hermes. Not detected as a usb device, the charging light comes on. Both phones work on another PC. I have tried uninstalling activesync and rebooting phone/PC in every order I can think of.
UPNP (Universal Plug 'n Play) service is required
Hi all,
please make sure that the UPNP service is running on the desktop.
It's required for device detection as well as synchronisation with the WCE device.
A quite detailed description of all potential problems with ActiveSync can be found at Chris De Herrera's website.
BR,
N.a.D.

Need help...

i have a t-mobile mda wizard and every time i plug it in to my pc it says device not recognized but it charges and everything... i just bout a new cradle and everything but no dice on it connecting and im running windows xp... help will be appreciated
Right click the activesync button in your toolbar and open connection setting. Click connect device. It will try to connect. If it won't, the best thing is to go thru the help thing. Do you have a custom rom?
active sync do not work
Hi there, i heard some days ago (a friend who ask me for help, unloking wizard to change ROM) and his WIZARD was not able to get recognized by PC it was a bad contact between USB conectors and cable, so he sent phone to repairs and then he was able to sync and then to migrate from WM5 to WM6.1
perhaps is a connectors trouble.....
What version of Activesync are you using? If it's 4.5, you should be good to go. I have seen problems with older versions.
Also, check Activesync on your phone. Make sure you don't already have two accounts created, because that's the limit on your phone.
If not, try different USB Cables and different USB ports (or test those things on a different device with microUSB connection) before assuming the connector on the phone is bad.
as far as i know the phone is completely factory no upgrades or anything i tried to do the connect thing thru active sync where it looks for my phone still no connection and i bought a new cradle and usb cords all together and it still doesn't work...

USB connection issue

Hi everyone,
Since I'm new with this phone (just bought it few days ago) I really need your assistance.
My problem is probably with the usb drivers (Mass storage device). I'm running on Vista Ultimate SP2. When I connect the phone, and go to the notifications, there are two (as supposed to be). HTC Sync and the one with the USB connection. Well the one with the USB connection appears and disappears all the time.
As a result I can't sync since there is a problem with the USB driver. When I disable the Mass storage device (this is the one responsible for that), I can sync. The problem is I can't use my phone as a storage card in order to copy files. In advance I'm saying that I tried to mount the sd card...nothing.
I've tried the phone on other pcs, XP and vista... it workds everywhere fine. The notification with the USB connection is not disappearing.
Tried everything, rolling back the driver, updating etc. nothing!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Thanks in advance
Also remember than not all USB cables are the same.
I'm not using the original one as I lost it with the original box.
But while the Nokia DKE-2 works great for all functions, my camera and my USB HD mini-USB cable only support few features.
All of them can charge the Hero, though.
The one I'm using is the original one! Moreover, the phone connects properly with other pcs!

So the problem is Vista.
I personally used XP with only some minor problems due to the cable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557310
It should not be Vista... I've tried it on another pc with Vista.... no problem!!
Oops, ignore this.
Have you tried different USB port on the sick Vista PC?
Have you installed Andrid specific USB drivers? If so, uninstall and reinstall.
When you plug the cable do you get on the phone the notification for USB connection?
Adding a question to the topic:
I own a Galaxy right now and consider switching to the Hero, one thing that does not work with the Galaxy is the USB connection to my car for audio playback. The USB interface of my car can't handle multiple drives as offered by the Galaxy; e.g. with a HTC snap everything is fine.
So the question is: Does the Hero offer one drive only when connected in the USB mode?
Thanks for your help!

Did you install Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista or Windows 7)? Windows XP use Activesync.
You should install this before your phone can be recognized and synced to pc.

It's possible the phone setting is configured to be recognized as flash drive, or for charging only. Some phones have this kind of capability. Try to look for the usb settings in your phone.

This is unusual. Looks like there could be a bug in your pc or your phone. There's also a possibility of defective cable, or usb port. Try first to use different cables, and plug to different usb port.

I've got synchronizing problems too.
I'm using Windows 7 Professional 32bit.
The Mobile Device Software recognizes my HD Mini, but synchronizing always fails. regardless what I'm trying to sync. contacts, calender, files,
any suggestions?
I see this happen sometimes. What i do is to manually click sync again on Windows Mobile Device Center, while the phone is still connected. If this doesn't work, bring up Activesync app on the phone. Then manually click sync on the phone.

pls still need your help
I would avoid Nokia cables and accessories. Nokia has a world of its own. Its devices and cables are not "universal". Try usb cable of another brand. Or just use nameless generic cables.
had that problem too but over a bluetooth, had to manualy run the active sync in mobile phone, also make sure u have a usb cable option checked in Active sync/mobile device center in PC and not only bluetooth. Oh forgot one important thing .. do not use usb hubs to connect your mini to PC, got 4 hubs on 2 different PCs neither one works.
