M5000 Activesync.... syncing favourites - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
I am having trouble syncing Mobile favourites even when I click them as "Save Offline" in Internet explorer.
It seems as though it always wants to load the page from the internet on my M5000.
I tried to put it in flight mode so it wouldnt have connection and then I tried it but it failed....
any ideas what im doing wrong... it should be fairly straightforward as I have clicked the "offline" option in explorer on the pc
please help!!!!
A.

I know its been a while but I still cant get this working.
Can someone please help? It still tries to load the online version.
I have followed every step by step guide I have found but it still wont load the offline content!
Driving me nuts....
Please help!
Thanks,

Synchronizing mobile favorities works fine for me - however I have no experience in saving them as 'offline' with IE.

im notsure on the cure but have you tryed using SPB plus V3.0 because you can save offline content from the phones IE directly i think, its one of the opions, im sure when you sync with your PC it will only copy the offline link and not the content so the phone trys to connect to update its info.
im not sure if this is what you were looking for but its a start

Try turning off the "Available offline" option.
What that does is: while the Pc is ONLINE the page will be updated, then when you go offline the most up to date version of the page is there to view.
What I think is happening is that when the link is passed to the M5K, there is no history of what the page is, so PIE is going looking for it, so it can start storing a copy of it.

ok thanks I will try that this weekend.

i had problems when first syncing favorites, found out it was cos of a
\\servername\sharename shortcut that was in my favorites folder, AS cant sync them which is a shame.

ActivSync 3.7.1 Problems

Hi
I have upgraded to Activsync 3.7.1 and although the sync works between Outlook and PPC I cannot explore the PPC either using explore on the ActivSync menu or My Computer My Device.
I am trying to install TomTom 2 Maps to my SD card and it is not being regionised.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting the same. Any anyone else experienced this? I would be very grateful for any ideas on how to sort this.
Many thanks
Matt
An update
I preformed a hard resent on the device and still I cannot explore the PPC. HELP PLEASE.
Matt
So no problems before
So if I understand it right, You didn't had any problems before the upgrade to 3.7.1
That is correct, worked fine.
Make sure you've got all explorer windows closed before syncing.
If you have a previous window open, before syncing none of the windows will display anything - you need to sync and then open explorer
That is strange
I don't have to close any window.
OK. so if you place the machine into the craddle, you won't get the message connecting to.. is that right?
Hi
I do also have a problem with active sync 3.7.1 when I want to sync anything on my PC with my XDA.
I can only explore my device if I don't select contact, mail or something, otherwise my XDA crashes and I do have to do a soft-reset.
Try to have your partnership without any syncronisation... even if it bothers me a lot, I can currently live without syncronisation... hopefully I find the time to investigate this issue.
Does anybody has the same expierence ????
I don't want to do it with try-and-error...
What are your connection settings
Are all the three boxes ticket under connection settings? ( under active sync)
i seem to recall that zonealarm need to let some program get access before i can sync
other software firewall may require the same thing
including windows internal firewall
It worked before with older version so
If it worked fine with the older version, then it must be about settings within the new version (Igues)
When you installed the new version of activ sync, did you also altablish a new full partnership?
activesync hangs @ 91%
been doing wuite a bit of work on both the phone and laptop... no complaints at all.. but this morning AS didnt work.. so i uninstalled and reinstalled it again.. hoping that itd get back to place.. but while installing from CD or HD it stops @ 91%. says wceusbsh.cab file is not being read..! took it to the system administrator.. removed all entries from registry... and modified the evnt viewer as well.. everythng in vain..
the last retort is to take the back up of my comp.. and reinstall OS.. but is there anything i can do to avoid it..?

Problem with PIE?

Hello guys...
It hadn't happened to me before and I don't know what triggered it. Since this morning, every time I try to browse the web, even if the Universal is synced to the pc, PIE gives me a "page cannot be found" error. Opera, on the other hand, works fine!
Any ideas? :roll:
I've had this problem too on my XDA IIi and also on older model XDA's. It only happens for me when connected to ASync, GPRS i have no problems. A quick soft reset solves the problem but it returns after so long. My emails would still download...
I don't seem to have noticed it recently (maybe cause i don't use it so much) but i did use the hack to move Temporary Internet Files to storage (or SD card) where i have much more free space. Give that a try, tell me if it makes a difference!
I have a problem when connected via activesync in that sometimes when trying to use internet explorer when it connects to a page it just simply closes down.
That is internet explorer just closes. Not hidden, not under running tasks. Have only noticed it when trying to access a couple of particular sites.
So I am wondering if there is a piece of code on the web site that IE doesnt like and occasionaly trips it over.
Not a problem to me yet. I either dont bother accessing the page or try a soft reset.
Did you move your temporary internet files to your sdcard? Does the problem go away if you go into tools\options\memory and click delete files and click clear history? If yes, your temp files have possibly become corrupt.
I use Storage for my temp internet file/cookies and history but you can use a SD card. This does have the benefit of surviving a soft and hard reset.
It's been a while but i can remember clearing files in the options when using normal memory, it still failed to load/find pages until i soft reset. Even tried completely closing PIE and starting up again, still had to do a reset.
For me it seemed to happen more if i had set the options to download all images.

up still face the same prob
I'm facing the same problem after upgrading to the latest firmware, IE won't open any site, but Opera, MSN, Email .. etc are working fine.
Yo,
what I get is a lot of red-X'd pictures - WHY is that??
Also Bluetooth internet browsing is very flakey - keeps diconnecting?? (although activesync connection is stable) ....
so, the answer is....
replace that half baked piece of Micro$oft crap with a decent browser, such as Opera?
BTW, where do I get Opera for the PPC anyway??

With my old PDA2K I used to have the same problem. The solution in my case was to execute the file Welcome.exe from the windows directory. It seems the connection settings or explorer settings got corrupted from time to time and running the welcome.exe seemed to correct the problem without affecting any other settings of the machine. But Iam not sure this is the problem in your case... but maybe it may also affect the universal and not just the blueangel.

Mobile Skype

Can somebody please tell me if they have managed to load Skype mobile on to their Wizard/Vario, how they did it ? I thought that it was going to be easy but my Vario keeps coming up 'unsuccessful.' Thanks.
Yes, I have loaded Skype 2.0 on my MDA and use it quite regularly. I normally use WIFI for connection and it works pretty well, even compared to my computer.
Just go to the download section at skype.com and download the pocket pc version. Install it just like any other software.
Thanks..managed to get it on to my storage card...now to get it to show up in the program list.
However, would appreciate further advice...when I logged in on the PDA, I was expecting to see the full list of contacts that I have on my Skype home PC, but all I have is the original one or two that I put in. Is there a way to transfer the lot over to my PDA...or is it a simple reset, or the next time I log in it will be updated. Likewise the other way round...when on the road and I key a contact in, will it 'sync' to the PC automatically ? Thanks, Mike.
I've been using Skype for ages. From what I remember, it should update on your next login. I have all my contacts, and they sync nicely between PDA and PC.
here's how i got it to work:

Could you please give some more details on your problem so that we can better help you out?
Anyway, I once had a sync problem with windows live and was unable to fix it. Seems that it´s a bug in the program so I had to dump everyting and start all over with a fresh install!
Thanks for the reply. I had to delete the account and re-install it. The crazy thing is that it shows a few names in the contacts list of MSN IM until I delete and reinstall...TJ
Sounds like ur sorted, thought I would post this anyway.
Found it on www.htc.com, only thing is you must register to be able to access this link. You can do that without a device S/N though.

Samsung Focus and straight talk help

I am very sorry for this burnt out topic, but I am in need of some assistance.
Basically I bought a Focus, and I am having trouble with marketplace, downloading apps, and other things.
I activated it, and can make calls, get on the internet, etc. I created a windows live ID, and for some reason when I go to market place it just says "no results" under everything I try to click. Basically, apps, games, and everything else is just blank.
I set up my email fine, facebook, outlook, and it all works, but for some reason none of my windows options seem to work.
Is there something else I need to do to get this stuff working?
The phone is not unlocked either. I went to "windowbreakme", but it says I cannot download ".js files" when I click the download link to unlock it.
Thanks for any help.

Also, I have an update available, but not sure how to download it. There is no option to download it, and it says to plug into computer, but I have tried two computers now, and it doesn't get recognized. Like I never plugged anything in. It beeps that its charging, but no sync, pop up, nothing.
I would suggest you try resetting the phone and then do the setup over a wifi instead of cellular data. Once you get the updates and re-connect your live account then make sure you setup the APN proxy for StraightTalk.

No. No. No. Do not use the proxy under the APN settings. Just the att.mvno. nothing else.
you may need to install samsung usb drivers (google it) for your pc to recognise phone in zune.
All is done thru zune.
Get WP7Tools in order to access a marketplace, there are some specialized apps on here to do this.
One is called Market Select.
If you can get your phone windowbroken on that web page (view in mobile mode) you can use Multiple Xap Installer v1.1 to
get unlocked apps onto your phone.

No, again this is incorrect information. Please do not post in threads if you are not 100% certain the advice you are giving is correct as it will just cause more confusion. Or if you are unsure about your advice please include that in your post. That said, your eagerness to help is always welcome.
