OK, late last night I did something regarding getting my MDA Pro to check for email against my Exchange server every five minutes and now, for the life of me, I can't find out how/where I did this and how to change it. So it keeps connecting to GPRS and, erm, staying connected. I'm an idiot. Please help me.
Scrub that - it's in ActiveSync.

Hello
Just got my new xda11
I've setup my device to use pop3 email on my freeserve account as I did on my previous xda1 - however whenever I try to send/recieve it just says "connecting", regardless of whether gprs is connected. If I try to disconnect I get the message disconnecting and sticks
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Martin
Hi, I'm in Australia, so I don't know how much help I can be, but I'll try.
Does your phone connect to GPRS ok.. loading and refreshing pages?
If so, When I first set up my Pop 3 account, it did take quite a while. It went through the connecting message, yes I was connected at the time, and then "logging on" for a while. But, then, in a puff of steam, my emails downloaded. In other words, what happens if you just wait and see if you system is as slow as mine. :?
I can connect gprs and use the internet fine
I'll do as you said and just leave it connecting for a while and see what happens :x
never know mine just might be mega slow :lol:
Done it!!!
after 5 attempts just leaving inbox saying "connecting", it finally logged on.
Now it does it first time
Thanks for your help mate

:Thanks Martin, glad that it worked out. Take it easy from Sydney Australia, wet, warm and absolutley glorious!!!
if i can get my XDA2i to sync with my wirless router at home, will it cost me anything? or will it all go on what i have alread payed for broadband,
i guess what i'm asking is, is this phone basically another device i can surf on in my home via my router like my mac or pc, or is it a seperate device that cost money to use?
Thanks, any help much appreciated
Short answer - it will be treated as any other wireless device that you connect to your wireless network.
Longer answer - You are not connecting to GPRS, so you are not going to be chgarged for that, and as you are going through a router, your ISP will have no idea what you are connecting behind the router, and they would not charge you anything extra anyway.
fantastic, thank you very much, just one more question if anyone can answer it,
could there an obvious reason msn isn't working on my XDA2i, i have got the WLAN connection working fine, but when i try to connect to msn it say something like, network busy please retry or try again later"
my details, name password etc, are correct so i do not understand why this function is not working, unless their has been a ppc msn update in the past 5 months?
Thanks again guys, you have been very helpfull so far
There is an MSN update on PPC2003

Pleased with my Orange M3100 so far, about 3 weeks of use...
Just have one problem, activesync randomly starts up and I'm bothered that I may accidently start a phone call if it fires up whilst in the case and I don't know about it...
I have the WiFi turned off unless I need it and also have data disabled using
the util off MODACO... so it shouldn't be seeing any thing to sync to, the only thing active is the Bluetooth which I leave on all the time for headset or GPS use with TOMTOM...
Any thoughts please....

You need to use the 'Fake Server Trick'. I can't find links to it on this forum, but if you spend a bit of time searching you'll find it on the board somewhere. I saw it mentioned recently.
It was a must-do on my old Dell Axim x51v because it would stop the PDA starting and lose the compactflash card amongst other problems, requiring a soft reset to start the PDA. Not so much a necessity on the Vario II thankfully. If you can't find it here I posted a thread on Aximsite a while ago giving the procedure step by step:

Is this gonna stop the WSOD and the "not coming back from standby mode"? Cause I've got these problems in daily basis and I have to reset all the time
I have a question about the fake server trick. Will it stop direct push? Also, will it stop updates to my calendar and contacts from syncing?

I can't really answer your question with absolute certainty because I don't use the Direct Push service on my Vario II.
However, I would guess if you already have an Exchange server mapped for Direct Push, then you need to have Activesync running for it to work properly and sync with the Exchange server regularly, so the F.S.T. is probably not for you.
That said - if you are getting problems which *may* have something to do with Activesync launching itself while on standby and causing WSOD etc, you could apply the F.S.T. then just load Activesync manually, start a manual sync, then close Activesync down afterwards. This would completely defeat the object of Direct Push though!

Give it a whirl... it can't do any harm.
I didn't realise the Hermes/TyTN/VarioII sufferred from these problems... maybe because I did the F.S.T. on my VarioII the moment I received it.
I did the fake server trick, seemed to work, but after a while ActiveSync is back in my runinng programs list. Is that normal or should the program be gone?
Every time you dock and sync with your PC, Activesync will load on your TyTN no matter what. When you undock you'll need to manually close Activesync otherwise it will stay running in the background.
I'm assuming you docked at some point?

No, I didn't. I did the server trick 4 times now, but every few hours when I look at my open programs ActiveSync is there again. I don't know if ActiveSync still tries to sync automatically or does nothing, but is is there...
Killsync - Stop ActiveSync!
So you have ActiveSync and you want to stop it from running. Well with Killsync, it stops ActiveSync so you can release the ram and increase the speed of your PC. This application does the same thing as the user switching to the task manager and killing the wcescomm task. When you need ActiveSync you can click on the ActiveSync icon. You can try putting Killsync in your startup to close ActiveSync if it starts first.

Just got around to trying the fake server trick yesterday, it appears to have worked on my M3100.. May it continue...
Thanks for help

Hi all yes I tried the Fake server trick 2 weeks ago before going To Germany on Business. I have not had the problem in the two weeks away. seems to have worked though I was not syncing quite as much or to same office PC. I will see home it goes now I am back in the office.
Thanks

Hi,
I am new to pdas and this site, so sorry for asking what is probably a recurring question.
I have a second hand xda mini s / wizard.
I can connect to my wireless router, but the connection keeps dropping on and off. It only stays connected for about 20 seconds at a time, and I have only managed to receive emails on 2 occasions. I can never send emails from it. I have received emails from my hotmail account and my pop3 account - at least I know the settings are right for those if I managed to receive them once (?).
Can anyone start me off with this?
Thanks in advance.
I would start by seeing if there is a firmware upgrade for your router. Check out the manufacturers website and go to Support/Downloads.
If that doesn't cure it, I would look at upgrading my radio rom which I'm sure if you look through the wizard section you will find out how to do it.
Thanks...I'll look
Radio rom.....? Hmmm. Ok, thanks for the first pointer....I'll have a search.
My router is a BT HomeHub. I don't know if they are any good. My laptop connects perfectly to it wirelessly and wired.
Regards
Hi all,
Hope you can assist. My HTC Touch Dual keeps establishing Data connections via GPRS despite my clearly stating it should only do so manually.
Sometimes the connections remain active for hours. My bill last month almost gave me a heart attack
I have the Manila 2D on it, but i'm not sure how i checked the version, can someone advise? If its at all necessary for you to help.....
I have added an entry into the phones registry to tell it to disconnect data connections after 30 secs. It could care less that i've done that, coz i've just checked there's a connection established for the past 2 hours!!!! I have not once pressed the sync or send/receive buttons manually, so dont know why its doing this .
Someone, please advise......
thanks a million!!!
