Hi,
I have upgrade my XDA II to 2003 SE (thanks again Sin).
i checked permanent save, I have made SR, but it keeps freezing when it comes to Synchronizing Contacts 32%.
when i try to uncheck it in setting - it will not allow me to.
please advise.

Activesync used to be working fine with my XDAII. Now I find that when I try to install/uninstall applications by selecting Tools...Add/Remove Programs, I get the following error message:
"Retrieving application data from mobile device" ... "Unable to retrieve the mobile device information. Please reconnect and try again."
I've tried reconnecting many times and just recreated the partnership to no avail. I want to install an app but am now unable to. What else can I do :?:
TIA
Some of us have had problems with ActiveSync after getting over zealous when removing things from the notification list (I used Remover but the ScaryBear utilities appear to be 'safe'). If this might be applicable to you, I fear the only solution I came across is a hard reset and using a lot more caution next time.
at least you have a partnership all i can seem to be is a guest which is a real pain ie no automatic sync
any idea what to do
Hmmn ... A hard-reset was the only way I could figure out to fix this. Groan.
I did a soft reset which got rid of the message
Hello!
I got a HTC Wizard (MDA Vario, t-mobile austria).
After a hardreset everything works fine. I can change Ringtone and notification sounds without a problem.
But it seems thath after the first sync with active sync 4.1 (build 4841) i only can hardly change the ringtones or any other notification sounds because it really takes very long (a few minutes)if you click on telephony settings (behaivor occours only on the tab with the sounds) or sounds & notification settings (also only on the tab where you can change the sounds). Device hangs with or without miniSD card inserted.
I only sync mail, contacts, notes, task, appointments and favorites.
Mail, appointments and contacts are synced over Exchange Active sync.
ROM-Version: 1.6.2.1 GER
ROM-Date: 11/14/05
Radio-Version: 01.12.10
Protocol-Version: 4.0.13.23
Is there somebody how knows this issue? Help wanted!
THX

Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37692
I already read this thread and can not belive this....because....
This only occours after the first Sync...before the first sync really everything is fine (also the sounds)
After the first sync the device also is fine and no problem.....until you want to change some sound...if you try to change the sounds AFTER the first sync this will cause the device to hang in this screen and of course if you try to start a new application then it will be very slow....
Maybe i missed something in the other thread or misunterstood something...hopefully not...
Update also got this with MDAPro (Universal)
Hello all...
Just want to tell i also got this issue with my Universal (MDAPro T-Mobile AT)
After hardreset everything is running fast. (sound preferences also)
After Active Sync it tooks very long time (really up to minutes instead of second(s)) to start the telephony preferences or sound and notification preferences.
I just try to reinstall active sync maybe there is some problem in the configuration.
Ill post information as soon it is available.
Regards
GOT a ?BUG? (in my case) ;-) seems to be some kind of DoS
Hi again....
After some testing i found the (a) bug...
It was only ONE note which causes this failure...it seems to some kind of Denial of Service because device only freezes if i got a special note on the device.
I tried this with two MDAPro (Universal) and one MDA Vario (Wizard) and on all devices the system hangs (freezes) if i got this Note on the device...after i removed this note everything was fine again.
Here is the text which the Note contains (without brackets!):
"_flowcontrol.........config für broadcom und intel...."
maybe someone can also try this and post his results or comments here!

Hi everyone!
Just had an upgrade to the Exec after having my Xda2i replaced by insurance.
I've put it into corporate mode, setup active 4.1 on my laptop, made backups of anything I needed off a borrowed Xda2i and sync'd all the notes/contacts info.
Installed and created a new partnership with the Exec and all seems ok - it does it's sync function. However, I notice that only about half of my contacts appear in the listing. Going through options I ensure 'Filter' is set to 'all contacts' and 'View by' is 'name'
checked the settings in Activesync and that all appears ok.
Still only half of the contacts appear.
To test, I make a change in Outlook 2003 on a contact that is showing up on the exec, save change and almost immediatley I see the change on the exec's screen. I then make a change in a contact that isn't appeating on the exec and it shows the sync icon working, makes the positive sound.
Still doesn't appear on screen.
Am I missing something stupid ? or is there a setting to 'display all' contacts?
Anyone know how to resolve?!
Cheers!

Hi Dennis!!,
You check, if some of yr contacts in Outlokk appear in "Other" field..if Yes, then use the export/import function of Outlook 2003, edit in CSV file,import it back, and do the sync... :lol:
Update
I just downloaded and installed the latest ROM from the O2 Xda website. Installed no problem at all.
Just tried sync and the same occurs. Not all of my contacts 'show'
I noticed on the sync '83 items' in the contacts section. Sure enough a manual count of all my contacts shows '83' of em. The sync then says 'syncronised' so I assume all is OK. Doing the same test as before and the 'positive' beeps when updating a record in outlook still occur, leading me to beleive the record IS in the Exec, just that it isn't being displayed in my contacts screen/list/view. I count only '24' of my contacts showing on the Exec
I went through carefully on my outlook, changing each record to be included in a Personal or business catagory only, no difference (every change made the positive beeps after saving)
Any other ideas of why this occurs? I've been digging around to see if there's any 'hidden' option in display etc - no joy...
It's annoying, as I cant see my regular contacts that I need frequently...
Any pointers/fixes would be great!

Hey guys, yesterday i did a hard reset and then couldn't sync my outlook again.
Tired everything from uninstall, deleting reg settings, new version of Active sync - but nothing would let me delete my partnership or get the damn thing working.
In the end and after searching on the net i came accross this article....
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/guest.htm#Guest Issues
in there it mentioned something about the guest setting in the reg. I couldn't find the exact key as mentioned but modified my search to just "guest" and found the value and changed it back to normal --> presto - all is fine.
Thought i'd share this because i was ready to slam my TyTN into the wall and thought that maybe some of you could use this bit of info.
Cheers.

Today my ActiveSync connection stopped working.
It tries to connect for a while then it comes up with "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. ..."
WM5torage works, so does pinging the Wizard.
Things I tried:
-Using the repair option from Active Sync setup
-Reverting the Wizard to a 3 day old backup made with SPB
Nothing worked :-(
What else (other than a hard reset) could I try?
See below for solution. And don't touch the notification queue if you don't know what you're doing
check if you firewall is blocking the activesync connection
if this is not the case ... good luck
try reinstalling activesync..
or get the latest one..
Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Activesync gone mad
I am having the same problem with activesync not actually syncing my contacts and calender despite making all the noises I usually associate with a successful sync. My contacts are not updated and my calender has none of the appointments from outlook uploaded to it.
I have done a soft reset. a hard reset, gone back to activesync 4.2 and nothing works. I have also tried the usb switch that is mentioned elsewhere and no joy. I have other ppc's running PPC2003 and these are fine and update almost immediately, its only my xda mini s that is being a sod. I never had a problem before activesync 4 and several other machines before the mini s. I should also mention that my outlook files are fine and work on all other machines.
It is bad business that the world is becoming dependant on such bad software as this. It is not progress to make things worse and Mr Gates should be held to task for the problems caused from forcing us onto unreliable software in the name of progress. I was happy enough on activesync 3.8 and WM2003 and never had problems.
Please, Please someone give me an answer before hammer and xda meet in heated discussion.
I have the same problem with my MDA and both my PC and Laptop. I have been trying to resolve this problem for months. It is unbelievable that it is so hard to resolve this issue. I have been posting on this forum and on others and still am looking for a resolution. Maybe someday, someone will resolve this issue. Thanks for your postings and help in trying to resolve this issue. Frustrated beyond belief.
Sorry, this did not work either: Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Update to previous
Just an update. I have tried this on another machine using the pst file from my machine and it syncs fine. Clearly, there is some problem on my machine with my software.
I have also removed outlook and reinstalled it. Also removed all profiles on main machine. At present, my calendar will sync but my contacts will not. Outlook tests say there is nothing wrong. Short of a complete software install I can not see another way to cure this other than the big hammer.
Go figure.
p.s.
If I had a hammer and Mr Gates was in front of me I would not be held responsible for my actions.
I found a corporate firewall that was preventing sync, I have to shut down the service and then it worked. Strangly, it would sync over bluetooth without stopping the service. A bit OT, but I can't seem to browse while synced. It asks for proxy info which I type in but it says bad user name/password. I KNOW I'm putting in the right proxy info (it defaulted it from my PC which browses fine) and correct user name/pw/domain. Any ideas?
FIXED
No firewall, no ActiveSync, no connection problems at all.
Fixed it by reverting my database to a backup.
When i had the well known alarm clock troubles i accidentially (= out of ignorance) deleted the whole notification queue.
Word of advice: Don't do that, it'll screw everything up

1. What is the purpose of the Notification queue?
2.What does it have to do with ActiveSync connectivity?
3.How is Notification queue set to make AS work?
Still cannot resolve my connectivity problem with my MDA. Thanks in advance.

Manages the Operating System's list of scheduled actions.

Still have no idea of how to get this back inot Notification queue.

Is this related to the inability to pass-through browse while on activesync? I am able to sync fine, but when I try to browse I get an error saying bad proxy info (which I've check 1000 times). Or sometimes when I'm messing around with the settings I get a "lost connection" message rather than the invalid login/password. So frustrating! Will switching to the serial type of connection help me?
ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!
