Can anyone help please?
I cannot get my xda mini to sync. Basically it just keeps running and nothing happens.
I have researched a lot of threads which refer to setting up a dummy server connection for what I presume is the the "exchange server" which I have attempted - is this a false IP address please?
On my PC, activesync diplays Exchange Server and my XDA with a list of the sync items below.
I keep getting a message on the XDA saying it cannot retrieve an IP address for the connection. Sometimes when I sync the try to connect via GPRS
I do have a wifi connection set up which now works (most of the time).
TIA.
I have the same problem as you with my QTEK 9100. Sometimes it works to connect the device to my portable computer (Compaq Presario 2800) via ActiveSync but mostly it does not. ActiveSync just keep looking for the device but doesnt find it.
I have also tried after that I have turned off the firewall and antivirus software, but it still doesnt work. The few (2-3 times) that it did work I had my firewall and antivirus running.
Anyone have an idea what I should do? It's a brand new QTEK 9100 (just got it a few days ago) with ROM 1.3.7.13 SVE, ROM date 9/29/05. Since I can't connect my device to the computer I can't upgrade the ROM.
turn off your firewall
disable your onboar intell wifi card if you have one
Does this happen to your device when you connect to Activesync immediatly after soft-resetting the device?
I have a similar problem, but I have no problems when I connect to AS for the first time, if I try connecting again before performing a Soft-reset AS won't find the device and the device becomes unasable, only soft-reset solves this problem.
Anyone else with these symptoms?

thanks but as I said I have turned off the firewall, and I don't have a built in wifi card in the laptop.

Yes it is the same problem no matter of the soft reboots. The only times I get it to work is when I have reinstalled the activesync 4.1 software on my laptop, after a reboot (of the laptop) it does not work; instead it only display a network icon with "Limited or no connectivity" (this is also without both firewall and antivirus installed) when I connect the device. The result is that AS can't find the device...
My theory is that it somehow looses the USB drivers installed with ActiveSync 4.1 when I reboot the computer. Anyone know how to fix this? Which (dll?) files belong to the USB drivers? I might be able to manually replace them in the correct path if I find that out...
any news??? I just met the same problem
simple enuf chaps...
i just met the same problem and the fix is pretty simple...
remove a/s 4.1
re-install a/s 3.7 / 3.8.1
re-establish the partnership
re-install 4.1
How do you get a connection between a WM5 device and ActiveSync 3.7 or 3.8?
I cannot get a partnership.
Is this because a WM5 uses IP-protocol for the connection?
thanks

I am using Dopod 838, the asia version of Qtek9100.
I also seems to have problem on activesync 4.1 which keep on sync and fail to connect. When it fail. I will try
1) In Windows Task Manager, kill wcescomm.exe
2) Kill everything in wizard
3) manually turn-on activesync4.1 on pc again.
4) connect wizard with PC again..
I just bought my phone for 2 days and i have to try a few more times to confirm it really helps.. may be you can give it a try too.

you will need AS 4.0 and above for all WM5 devices
You might want to check device manager when your device is hooked up via USB and make sure there are no exclamation marks on your handheld device.
I have a laptop and I only installed ActiveSync 4.1 and it works fine. I've even re-imaged my laptop since getting the phone and wasn't a problem second time around. I also installed 4.1 on my work PC and it works fine there too.
Not sure if you can use anything older than 4.0. (Not sure the reasons why)
At work I tried to use 3.8 (Just for the hell of it) but 4.0 updates all the USB drivers and stuff. Anything below 4.0 will not recognize WM 5.0 devices as jfran said. After installing 4.x I don't know the reason or need to uninstall then install something older then uninstall and reinstall 4.x.
It should work straight after install. However I do NOT know what happens if by chance you had an older version of ActiveSync then tried upgrading to 4.x. Should work though. I know people have had success upgrading from 3.7 and 3.8 to 4.1 to use the newer Dell Axim x51v which have WM 5.0 here in my environment.
Thanks everybody for your replies,
it was after hamish_dy tip I wanted to know how to get an connection between AS3.x and a WM5 device, since I haven't been able to do so. And I also have read that WM5 needs AS 4.x in order to sync.
Have had my Qtek9100 now for a week, and have been studied this forum in detail for a solution on my problem.
Previously I had a Qtek S100 which synced with my laptop together with AS 3.8. My company uses Groupwise as e-mail system, but with Outlook 2002 also installed on laptop I got it working (also after some days of trial).
Now with my Qtek9100 nothing happends when I plug in the USB-cable. Well not true, it will connect with an IP-address and I can from AS see the filestructure on my Qtek, BUT nothing starts syncing (calendar, contacts, e-mails,etc.). I watch task-manager but nothing kicks in. Previously with my S100, mapisp32.exe always kicked in and was the magic component between outlook and groupwise. With AS 4.1 everything is dead in task-mgr. I also receive the 85010014-error message sometimes.
Have uninstalled AS 4.1 several times, cleaned out registry of AS keys, rebooted, installed AS again, reinstalled outlook, turned firewall off, turned antivirus off, soft-reseted my qtek, and so on. Have downloaded the swedish version of AS 4.1, since my Qtek has swedish language, and thought that was the reason. But no. Soon out of options and ready to take my new qtek back to the dealer.
Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.
thx in advance.

One thing you should try before sending your device in is to try sycnching up on a clean machine, i.e. (a freshly imaged machine)
I'm assuming initiating a manual sync does nothing?

No, manual sync does nothing.
If I can't find any solution before mid-next-week, I will find a workstation at work and load only the minimal components/applications needed and try to nail down the issue, as a last try. I work with IT myself so I'm not keen to reimage my laptop, there are just too many things to reinstall.
thanks for the advice!

Active Sync Sync via USB Resolved (well for me anyway)
Over the last month I have not been able to sync my Wizard to my laptop via USB. Via bluetooth worked a treat, but I was not able to upgrade ROM via btooth.
This morning, completely by accident I resolved the issue with USB sync'ing to Active sync 4.1.
This works for me:
1. Connect Wizard to laptop via USB (you will get the usual problem, with ActiveSync saying "Connecting" and nothing else
2. Whilst phone is still connected via USB perform soft reset on phone
3. The laptop system tray should display "Found new USB device" and then say "Pocket PC USB Sync found"
4. When the laptop / pc has finished installing software and displays "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use" Disconnect the USB cable from your Wizard.
5. Wait a couple of seconds and then reconnect your Wizard via USB and hopefully it will work.
Please let me know if this works for anyone else!
One more thing you could try before throwing it back at the salesman is to check your network connections.
Go to Control Panel and select network connections - make sure you are set to view details and look for the "Local Area Connection" that has a description of "Windows Mobile-based Device". On mine it is "Local Area Connection 3". You may have to scroll to the right to see the description.
Right click the relevant connection and then click "properties". Make sure that the following entries ONLY have a tick next to them.
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
For some reason on mine none of them were initially selected :?
Click OK, when I did this it started syncing straight away!
Good luck!
I am also having a problem with activesync 4.1, up until now i have been able to sync perfectly via bluetooth or usb. However now when i try and sync activesync on my PC says connecting and nothing happens!!
I have tried everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed on my laptop (same problem)....
Given i have the same problem on 2 different PC's i am starting to think that its actually the Mini S and not the PC thats the problem. I feel a hard reset coming.............

Hard reset has done the trick, so it turns out all problems may not be down to our pc's......
The same thing happens for me sometimes. What I have found ou this helps.
Unplug pda from sync cable. Kill all active programs on the pda. Plug in sync cable again. Viola! It syncs.
I have the same trouble, activesync just says connecting and thats it, i havent found any particular reason for it. SR does not help, just HR which is kind of overkill. Im really glad for the sprite backup software. I have tried all different things i could think of while i couldnt sync and nothing helped. I have allready about 3 HR after me.
How do I make my I-Mate JAM stay connected to bluetooth so I can use the passthrough on my PC?
When I first got the phone it would stay connected after ActiveSync sync. But then the BT connection broke for some reason and I couldn't connect my phone to my PC using BT. I've set it up again now, but this time it doesn't stay connected. It connects, syncs, then breaks the connection.
What do I have to do?
Thanks
In the activesync application on your phone go to Tools --> PC --> Options
You will then see a radio button that says When syncing remotely Maintain Connection
Make sure that button is selected and you should be ok.

If you use Microsoft stack on pc maybe it's the cause of disconnection.
After X min. of inactivity turns off the service.

It seems to disconnect immedietely after ActiveSync has finished.
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.

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 been suffering with a persistant Activesync connection problem. It usually connects and syncs fine the first time I boot my machine, but after around five minutes it almost always disconnects (though my Vario II continues to charge). Unplugging and replugging the USB cable does not work and the Activesync icon remains grey. Trying to start the connection manually either from the Vario II or from Activesync on the desktop also does not reconnect the device. In fact the only way to get it to connect again is to reboot my PC.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 downloaded from Microsoft this morning. I've tried deleting and recreating the partnerships, which does not help the issue. I've tried several USB cables which also do not resolve the issue, so I am now asking for your help.
If anyone has any insights into whaty might be happening I would appreciate your help...
Thanks,
Chris
I'm having the same problem, but in my case unplugging the cable from the device and plugging it again usually restarts the sync. Sometimes, however, I have to soft-reset to get it working again. Very annoying.
Hi Chris,
Ive had tons of issues with activesync on my works laptop..... I use a VPN and zonealarm... I used to have tno issues but since I got WM5 wich uses IP address's it always does the same thing as yours.. ive made sure the IP address is allowed in zone alarm.... my colleague also had this issue.. he managed to solve it by using a differnet USB port as his laptop has 3 one is on the side of the machine ... try using a different USB or disable zone alarm if you use it this could be causing the problem.
I sometimes get it to work if I have no VPN client running but as soon as I do use it the active sync stops.
Hope this may help you
James
I have exactly the same issue with my Vario II, never happened with my Vario and I have changed nothing other than my phone. Makes me think its summin to do with the harware possibly? Anyone else found a cure for this?
I Had the same problems, so I gave up on USB connection with active sync, I have 4 USB ports on my laptop and tried all, I now use bluetooth and works everytime.
There has always been problems with USB and actgive sync, so 4.2 was suppose to fix, but not for me.
I've got the same probelm on my Tytn. I've solve it to delete the Pocket Mechanic :shock: , I've done a S.R. and from now on the A.S. works correctly.
Ciao, Cesare
Had to use my old vario for a bit today, used activesync and it worked fine for the whole time I had it plugged in, got a new Vario II replacement today, got home and its exactly the same, would appear to be a mismatch between Vario II and activesync 4.2, can I connect by wifi?
Hello hmm the problem is if it uses direct or ip ,try go settings - connections - ( usb to pc ) and disable advance network funtctionality.
Hope that works
thanks
I had this problem too - I disabled advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel under the Settings/Connections folder, and then Activsync stayed connected after that.
HTC TyTN 7/22/06 ROM
Just given that ago, Took me 5 attempts for the usb to pc connection settings screen to show up but then I realised it had to be plugged in to do it! Duh! What features do I loose by disabling ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY?
After the activesync working fine with my orange spv3100 for 4 weeks it suddenly refused to connect. I un-checked the "advanced functionality" box as suggested and it works again. Many thanks for the solution peeps.
I too would like to know what functions this deactivates.
Same problem, I've installed ActiveSync 4.5beta and now it stay connected, sometimes it disconnects but after restart of the phone it works again, one friend told me that the problem comes from the Activesync in the phone, so may be we have to look for the problem in the phone not in the PC
Activesync 4.2 problem
Hi all,
I too started having the same problems with Activesync 4.2 hanging my phone if left charging overnight. I decided to disable the advance network connection and that worked for a while. Now the phone wont sync AT ALL. It charges, but I can't do anything else. I reinstalled the Activesync 4.2, did a soft reset, off-on to the mobile, turn off-on my computer and still nothing. I will d/l Activesync 4.5 beta to see if that solves the problem, but it looks to be a problem with the Activesync in the mobile and not the one in the computer. I did the troubleshooting and it is detecting the USB connection but does not sync. I would really like to know if wireless sync can be achieved. Will post any fix if I find one. BTW my mobile is about a month and a half.

Sync problems with tytn
I've read through all the messages in this thread and wondered if someone could help me with some problems i've been having with syncing mine with a laptop. Often when I have the device plugged in when i boot up the laptop activesync won't start until i've disconnected the usb cable then reconnected it again-i never had this problem with the imate jam. My second problem arises when sometimes it says on the files section that there are un resolved items???? i then try to resolve the issue and a wizard comes up with add or remove buttons.afraid that i might remove something essential i tried the add button hoping this might resolve the issue-it didn't. i then gave up as nothing worked. after switching the laptop off and then syncing a day later there were no items to resolve so what exactly is happening. how can there be unresolved items one minute and nothing the next.also i hadn't done anything different on the tytn.if i select the add button on the window does it add a copy of the file highlighted and could this affect the operation of the device.Sorry if this seems a little confusing but i never had this problem with an xda exec or an imate jam.
please could someone help a non technical fifty something.

I agree, where is this option?
I'm running version 4.2 and along the top bar all I'm seeing is:
File - View - Tools - Help
Nothing like "Settings" and/or "Connections" in sight. Under "File" there is the "Connection Settings" option, but nowhere does it mention "Advanced Networking Functionality".......
Can someone explain this please?!
The "Advanced Networking Functionality" is on your phone, not on desktop's activesync.
On WM5, go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and you will find the "Enable Advanced network functionality" option.

Every time I try that, I just get an error message saying: "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial".
Has anyone else seen this message? Happens regardless of whether the Vario II is connected by USB or not...

I'm still getting the RNDIS error, has anyone else come across this? Is there a solution?

Hi,
after upgrading my unbranded HTC Tytn to more recent WM5 version through official ROM upgrade from HTC (italian version QTEK_405), the activesync connection only works if I connect via Bluetooth or IR.
The USB connection doesn't seem to work anymore.
Activesync seems to try to connect, but after a while I get the "cannot establish a connection..." message.
Checking the Network Connections on the PC, it looks like there is in/out traffic packets on the device, but nothing else happens.
Also tried on another PC and same behaviour.
Activesync version is 4.5 build 5096.
Any idea also how to test that USB connector is working properly, to narrow down the problems ?
Thanks in advance
Did you try disabling the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" checkbox in START-SETTINGS-CONNECTIONS-USBtoPC?
Also if your are running WinXP or Vista... with your phone connected with the USB cable. Check in the Device Manger, for any "unknown devices". Select them and remove.
Now disconnect your phone from your computer. Then do a "Soft" reset on your phone. Now reconnect through the USB and does it recognize it as a ppc device?? now try to ActiveSync again!!

Yes, no success.
I can see in the Device manager that the network card is replaced by a USB device, but nothing happens on Activesync side.

Tried that.No unknown devices.
I've uninstalled the newtork card corresponding to the Tytn, disconnected and soft reset the device.
It seems to reinstall it properly, but still same behaviour.
One thing that makes me wonder is why the device shows as Windows Mobile-based device #3.
Anything I can do to celanup this ? It looks like it's got some old device hanging.
What about ActiveSync on the ppc? Do you have the "Synchronize all PC's using this connection" checkbox checked? Does it point to "USB" below the checkbox? What do you have in that MENU-CONNECTIONS... screen on the PPC?
Damn it Ive been having one problem after another with my 8525 just when I think things are going good there is another set back.
My phone wont sync to my computer anymore. I have Schaps 4.20 installed and I installed the cube earlier today just to see what it was like because I was going to upgrade to shaps 4.3. Now its time to upgrade and when I connect my phone to my pc i get a message that says "usb device not recognized"
What the heck is going on?
I uninstalled the cube from my ppc did 2 soft resets, restarted my computer and it still wont recognize my pcc
Im getting a message that says "one of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it"
It goes on to say "Try reconnecting the device. If windows still does not recognize it, replace the device."
None of this sounds good. Im stressing out!
After two hard resets I finally got it to accept Shaps 4.3 rom. It still wouldnt do it after the 1st and 2nd hard reset but for some reason, the last time I connected it via usb, it worked.
THANK GOD! I dont know what happened and why it wouldnt connect but Im happy I fixed.
Activesync 4.5 Stuck saying "Synchronizing"
The post above saying:-
Did you try disabling the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" checkbox in START-SETTINGS-CONNECTIONS-USBtoPC?
was the solution to a major headache I was having with Activesync 4.5 on a new HTC TYTN II connecting via USB. It would sit stuck with the sync indicator turning / swirling and a message saying synchronizing, but would not be doing any synchronisation!
I disabled the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" in START-SETTINGS-CONNECTIONS-USBtoPC it it immediately began synchronising. Thought I would enable it again and it went back to just hanging there, definately needed to be disabled to rectify the problem.
Thanks.

I have to disable that on both my wizard and my trinity when syncing with either my XP computer with active sync 4.5 or my Vista computer which comes with WM Device Centre. The problem is since putting an otherwise rather excellent 6.1 rom on the trinity, nothing happens at all with that option disabled. With it enabled it connects but has the problem described above. On my wizard a message pops up when it establishes a connection, nothing happens on the trinity though. It was fine before with the original ROM. I am using [WWE][20-10-08]NiAx Trinity 6.1.70 BlueAngel - OS & SYS 20748 [ONLINE] any thoughts on what could be going wrong here?
