Uni running latest rom.
Info :- Yesterday Activesync working at home and at work through USB.
Got home last night and thought I will set up my bluetooth conenction at home. Did this no problem at all the Uni connects through Bluetooth fine.
Get to work today and Uni Will not sync through USB.
I have gone through these Forums and can not find anything. Activesync just keeps saying connected.
Help !!!!!
Me again.
I have been through the Forums on this site and tried all the stuff on here.
Can I have on PC connect by bluetooth and another via USB.
I have tried soft reset and Activesync still says Connecting then times out after a long time.
Any help on this matter would be good.
Yo!

Yes. For my Xda Exec I have a USB connection to 'WORK-PC1', I have also set up a WiFi internet connection at work. Then, when I get home I use a Bluetooth connection and surf the internet using my 'HOME-XP-PC' connection via anothre ActiveSync 4.1 partnership (and also via a USB cable link if I want).
Alot of reference is made (here & other web sites) to ActiveSync & issues with partnerships: it appears that the thing to do is delete any troublesome partnerships, reset the PC & set up the partnership again.

CraptiveSync
Here we gop then :-
Active Sync :- Work PC (USB) Home PC (Bluetooth)
Have Wi-fi working no problme at home or work.
I have had to hard reset my UNI. Now both work and home connect fine using usb.
I set up BT on Home and the usb connection stops working. Also will not sync usb at work.
soft reset nothing. turn BT off nothing. Hard reset again and it syncs with both pcs usb.
Bluetooth on work pc this time.
Same again once BT set up will not usb sync.
GOD I HATE ACTIVE SYNC. In fact im renaming it to CraptiveSync.
I have no tired this in as meny ways as can set up BT first then USB.
BT and BT on both pc's works fine. but will not usb.
USB first then BT.
My experiences with this type of CRAP so far has led me to believe:
1) It's NOT ActiveSync - it's OK as long as v4.1 is used. Ensuring that WinXP Pro uses SP2 etc. etc.
2) It's NOT the PDA - only a handful of options HOWEVER one crucial thing I have learnt is:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections (icon):
Advanced (tab): > Select Networks:
Ensure BOTH options are set to 'My Work Network'.
3) If there are any issues, IT'S AT THE PC END OF THINGS and it's this multitude of crappy layered & hidden options and badly written drivers that casues ActiveSync (et al) to go AWOL. :evil:
Oh, & ongoing issues I have with COM ports.....
Andy
CraptiveSync issues still happening.
Hard reset both Pc's connect fine using USB. As soon as either PC is switched to Bluetooth and a connection is set up USB STOPS WORKING.
IT WORKS FINE until Bluetooth set up.
Anyone ??
USB Activesync Issue
I'm getting the same issue, but I only connect through USB. I sync to a work PC and a home PC. It all worked fine straight after reflashing (a mere two weeks after I got the damn thing, too many problems with the slow Orange ROM).
It started with the "Connecting..." message staying on the screen on the home PC. I have just now deleted all partnerships on the PC and am trying again. It's now just saying "Retrieving settings..."
I'm going to rename the phone and try again from scratch.
I don't know how Activesync works but I'm wondering if maybe the version of it on my phone, that was installed during the reflashing is different/incompatible with the version on my PC. I have no idea if Activesync is installed during the flashing process or if it somehow sits there throughout. Does this sound reasonable? If it is the case, how does one go about checking the version of AS on the phone?
Any help appreciated. TIA
SORTED THE BLUETOOTH ISSUE
I have sorted out the Bluetooth isssues I was having in this thread.
Heres how :-
Home pc (Bluetooth) Work pc USB.
Hard reset the UNI (This restores active sync back to default settings).
Set up USB pc first.
Then set up Bluetooth Pc.
It works.
I noticed while buggering about last night that there seems to be something up with one of the network adaptors and IP addresses but honestly I don't know enough about TCP/IP to do anything with it!
I managed to sync using a BT connection but it seemed to take an age.
Won't reconnect bluetooth
I'm having what appears to be a distinct problem. I have a T-Mobile MDA which I synch by cable at the office, and by bluetooth at home.
This arrangement worked for a while, but now every time I disconnect the bluetooth, I can't reconnect until I go into bluetooth settings, choose devices tab, find the home PC partner, press and hold for edit. There I see the Activesync service checked, but if I refresh, the Activesync service is unchecked. If I check it, I can synch via bluetooth without difficulty.
Any ideas? This clearly seems to be a problem with the PPC Activesync.

This problem -- I have to edit the bluetooth connection on the PPC -- has a slight wrinkle. Just unchecking and checking the Activesync service on the devices edit will make it possible to connect. It is as if the service is actually unchecked when it appears checked.
zone alarm & active sync
I just figured it out from my end ... with the :connecting" activesync problem. It seems that Zone Alarm was the culprit and since then everything has been working fine.
hey underwurlde how do u surf the net on ur universal via ur pc? i ve been tryin since i dont kno wen but havnt been success full. on connectin them by bluetooth it asks for a dialing number or a pass. which will be used to connect

I would love to know the answer to this one.
I was surfing on wifi last night. Now today activesync just says connecting for ever when using USB.
I read on the MS website an old post that said if you do many soft-resets usb activesync may be imparied and you need to do hard reset. There is no way I will reinstall all my apps again. I am sure this is a firmware thing.
Something has become corrupted in the universal's program storage. hard reset just effectively reinstalls everything. Perhaps re-installing one of the cabs from the extended rom will solve this problem.
anyone have any suggestions or sovled this problem themself ? (my problem is definitely not firewall!)

Firstly Essgee Im assuming your craptivesync connection is on your home pc via bluetooth. It makes no odds if its bluetooth or usb. If its a work connection it might be a firewall thing. I can ot surf the web at work on my ppc as the fire wall will not let me.
Home PC. Or slack work firewall.
Sync with PC. Open ActiveSync up. Go to file and the connection settings. In the drop down box marked as "This computer connects to" change it to the internet. You should now be able to surf the net.
Let me know ??

This happend to me. I had to hard reset PPC and it has not happend since. Dont know what went wrong. I did read somewhere that WI-FI connected to a WLAN and then BLuetooth Activesync don't get on when both are trying to connect to the internet. (This was my problem).

I didn't actually use bluetooth, just wifi. It might be another reason, it might be because we disconnect the PPC from the PC when activesync is doing something, or making a call, and this corrupts something on the PPC. It definitely not the PC as I tried different ones and also reinstalling activesync and wiping registry entries.
Anyway I had to do a hard reset, and it all worked again. Damn it!
ActiveSyncToggle
If you are having trouble with the reconnection problem -- that is, having to reboot the PC and/or soft reset the Wizard to get a success, I have found that most of my problems were reduced by using ActiveSyncToggle to shut off Activesync, and disconecting the bluetooth connection on the PPC rather than shutting off bluetooth.
ActiveSyncToggle solves the PC problem entirely (I never have to restart PC) but I still sometimes have to go to PPC bluetooth connection, click on the PC and uncheck and re-check the activesync service. This is clearly a software problem, since the service is checked but acts as if it is unavailable; unchecking and then putting the check mark back cures the problem.
ActiveSyncToggle solves another problem for me. Sometimes in boot up, the bluetooth starts after activesync, which causes an error "can't find the com port" from activesync. Since I now shut off activesync, I don't get these error messages.
Not exactly plug and play, though.
Both my Hermes and my Universal have this problem so I must be doing something wrong.
My Hermes is set to check my work's exchange server for mail ever 15 mins or so. It works just fine, until I then connect it to my laptop for charging or transfer of applications etc.
When I hook it up to my laptop, it syncs with exchange again just fine using the laptop's connection but after I disconnect the device it refuses to get mail over the air unless I perform a soft reset. No errors are given it just takes a very long time to try to sync before timing out and displaying the last sync time as the last time it successfully synced.
After a soft reset everything is fine until I once again connect it to my laptop.
It's driving me mad.
Hi, we're experiencing the same problem with HTC TyTN and Microsoft DirectPush, so you are not alone

Hi there,
Over the last few weeks I have had a problem syncing mu phone, I am able to connect and browse and install software via my PC but it refuses to sync, it starts good by saying that it is looking for changes, then it asks me if I want to combine, overwrite and so on and then after I make my selection it simply says 'Synchronization Error' and remains connected but that is it.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading activesync and my ROM, but what ever I do I get the same result, I have tried on another computer also and still the same.
Please help me as I am going mad, it is not quite a brick, bu is not far from it if I can not get my information on to it.
Cheers
Update
After going back anf forth with versions, I managed to do one full sync ( thank God, now I have my data back at least). but now again, it is failing,WHY ? connection exists, browse and so on works, only the sync does not work.
Do you have bluetooth?
I has a similar problem, I setup a sync profile with my PC via bluetooth and synchronised it through BT. After plugging in the cable afterwards my Syncing was fine...
worth a try
syncing problems
I had the same problem but I seemed to work through it by removing the Mobile Sync 4.5 and re-installing it. It looks like it's not working, but after the install bar goes about half way, everything is on, including the calendar and the Outlook Database. Good luck!
i've been searching around many forums for the past week and cant seem to find the answer. My mda connects to active sync for like 3 days and suddenly stops working. My computer recognizes the mda and you could hear the sound but active sync doesnt. The freen wheel keeps spinning and says connecting . Everytime i do a hard reset it connects for a quick minute and then it stops. I tried installing a fresh copy of windows and still it wouldnt work. Ive installed and reinstalled active sync about 10 times and still nothing.
update i have noticed that its starts doing the spinning wheel thing when a big G appears at the top of the screen
the g means its on gprs, usually so shouldnt be whats causing it.
do you have any firewalls installed? when you plug in your vario its connection to the computer emulates a network connection so your vario can see the internet when plugged into the pc for example.
its possible that your firewall is blocking it, so try disabling and see if it helps.
as for why it might work then not work, im not sure, maybe something about what active sync does might trigger some kind of attack detection.
hope this helps
I have been connecting and syncing device w/out any issue until today that it begins to connect and suddely it gives me an error" Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect device and try again" then it reverts back to "guess" instead of my device name. This is really frustrating because I cannot do anything, not even download new software. I recently downloaded WM 6 softouch 4.0.0.0.0.6 but it has been working fine until today.
Update: This is really weird. I was able to download a new radio rom eventhough I got this error, but I cannot do anything else through activesync such as contacts, notes, etc.
I was able to get it to work by deleting and re-installing activesync 4.5. So far it is syncing ok. Anybody had a similar issues and how were they able to resolve other than hard-reset or reinstalling activesync.
