How do I get rid of that daft 02 logo in the title bar that you can drag along. It has a menu that says mobile web and a few other things. Is it something in teh startup ? I removed the O2 active from the startup but there is an 02 prog that says connections or something.
Just installed a router so my son can use his psp. always just used a pci wifi card before to connect anything to the net. I now have the net running fine on my wizard and the psp, but can i browse my shared pc files through the router or do I have to use the pci wifi card ? The pc with the shared files is connected directly to the router via lan cable.
Also when connecting to my wifi, I keep getting hotmail messages appearing even after delete. I now have a trash can full of 2 lots of the same messages and now its just downloaded them to my wizzard again. I select all to delete and they go from the inbox, but then next time I connect it downloads them all again. Is it not deleting them from the server or something ?
can only answer the first one I'm afraid as I havn't had the other issues you mention but see this link for how to remove the O2 nastiness. Its easiest to remove all the O2 rubbish in one go, I tried removing 'O2 active' from startup as well but it wasn't sufficient, its a much faster handheld once you remove the O2 stuff!

OK, i did a hard reset then a soft reset to prevent th O2 stuff installing.
I then installed some of the ext_rom files with help from here:

Then i added the settings i got from O2 UK Pay monthly:

There must be a reg hack or a prog to remove that will get rid of that silly 02 prog on the taskbar without having to hard reset ?
there may well be but at the same time, active sync will backup all your contacts, calendar and files which should allow you to do a factory reset but not loose anything, simply resync once your through the reset.
Dont want to hard reset now, my device is starting to take shape. Will just see how it goes and maybe someone will find out how to get rid of it.

Try these to open shared folder at remote PC from Wizard over WiFi (names might differ coz I'm using localized version of WM5):
1) Run "Explorer" on your Wizard
2) Open "Menu" and point to "Open Path...[A]"
3) Choose "New path...[A]" and enter your PC's name there as "\\PCNAME" or the entire path to shared folder like "\\PCNAME\FOLDER1" (to reveal your PC's name open "My Computer" properties and look at "Computer name" tab in "Full computer name" field. PC's name will be text before the first dot, ex: pcname.somewhere.net.work, i.e. name = pcname)

You are having default behaviour of "Inbox" message removal. Which is "Delete manually". All you need to do after deleting your message is:
1) Delete your messages like you always do
2) Choose "Empty Deleted items" from your "Menu" of "Messaging"
3) Choose "Send & Receive"

Hi forum,
I have a WiFi Connection in my office premisis & was womdering if I could create a VPN or a similar p2p connection between my laptop & my universal...
Any comments or ideas..
Thanx,
mOrph
yes you can
but not an activesync connection.
you basically have to get on the WIFI network (VPN not necessary unless you are external of the network and/or behind firewalls).
then its a question of what you want to do, the WIFI network gets you on to it using WEP or WPA SPK I think (we use WEP at home and work).
if you want to connect to your laptop, create a mapped drive then you can copy and paste backwards and forwards.
you can run terminal server to control your PC or connnect to a terminal server, or connect to SBS with administrator priverlidges.
The question is, if you connected, what do you want to do. You cannot activesync, but you might like to try streaming music or other bandwidth consuming activities...
ok
got your PM.
Question: If you created the connection using WIFI between your laptop and your PDA, what do you want to do/achieve?

Hi
Answer:
Hi Simon... The reason i was wanting to connect my laptop & my ppc through Wifi is that i cannot activesync (like you already know).
I was thinking maybe i can have a data trasfer between the devices if nothing else.
Is that possible?
If not, what can the connection be used for?
Thanx buddy,
mOrph
Activesync cannt be done over WIFI, 2003 allowed it not WM2005.
You can share a folder on your PC, and thus place files in and out of that using WIFI. Generally though, I found it more efficient to use an SD card with a USB memory reader to transfer files, much quicker read/write. Usually I want to put pictures or videos back the other way anyway. some pc's and laptops come with memory card readers anyway.
ON your PC' find a folder, right mouse click and share it with a share name. Make sure you know the name of the machine, eg my computers name is TLA-DELL1 for work, and home is the name of my daughter. If you havent named your machine it will have some dodgy obscure pathetic name issued by the manufacturer. You can get this from system in control panel.
On your PDA, start your WIFI.
Using Resco explorer hopefully you have it, map a net work drive. You can try the standard file explorer, but I dont like it. Total commander can also do it. In the share address use:
\\computername\foldersharename
note the double backslash.
Enter usernames and passwords as appropriate.
Now, the pain in the arse bit.... do you have a firewall? This is where it can get tricky.
The other thing you can do is if you are running XP Pro (if not, I recommend it), you can also go into control panel > system on the tab called remote connection, you can tick a box that allows you to take control and use your machine on your PDA using Terminal Server. This allows you to access all the resources and facilities that your machine has as if you were sitting at the console, including the power and processing speed of your computer.
Only downside, the screen is much much smaller than your computer, so getting around it can be painful.
Once you have enabled your machine to allow the connection, its simply a matter of starting wifi, programs > terminal services, and enter the IP address or computer name of your laptop to connect to it, and it should open then a log on name for you to start using your machine.
A further feature, which I dont use and cannot advise how to, but read about it here, is to "stream" mp3's from your laptop to your PDA so you can play music on your PDA based upon music on your machine rather than having to copy it.
In relation to sending files to your computer, if all else fails, I ahve two extra email accounts on my PDA a hotmail account, a POP3 account, and if in times of need, a GMAIL account, all of which allow me to email particular files anywhere I want using any WIFI connection. I use this when all else fails.....
Hence my question, what did you want it for....
Dont worry mate, we'll get there... one day. We just have to challenge MS, and what is life without a challenge or 100 from MS.
My XDA II did a hard reset on error.. and now not able to sync. witht the data already on laptop... its telling me
1) Either establish the GUEST relationship
OR
2) Change the name- Name exists...
How do I resolve this issue to get back back up reloaded..
I have given the same device name and have done same Regional settings... Anything i am missing..???
Please help...
SPG.
the data which is syncronised is stored in Microsoft OUTLOOK and such so this doesnt effect your syncronised stuff.
In Activesync Goto File and DELETE PARTNERSHIP also Delete any old uneeded partnerships which are in there,
You may need to Hard Reset the PDA but try without, put it on the cradle, it will give the option to set up a new connect or guest, then when syncing it will ask to leave replace or combine with the data held on the pc and pda.
The problem is simply the same name on the XDAII
Change this name, and it will work. Activesync will then recognise two devices by virtue of the same name. I used to have the XDAII and this was always an issue, so I just kept changing the name on the device to suit myself...
Or as indicated delete the partnership on your PC (note if you need any of it, get the "files" sync folder as this will be deleted also, and you may want the stuff thats in it.

Hello, Guys… Please, help me… I searched on Forum, but I found nothing.
I have a very unusual problem to synchronize the Favorites.
I had a TyTN (serial 630…) and it had no problem with synchronizing the Favorites between device and PC.
(I Used and use Office 2007, ActiveSync 4.5… and I have 360 Bookmarks in 30 Folders (under “Device Favorites” on PC)
Now I have a new TyTN with serial 650 and the same ROM (1.18.258.2 07/22/06 ITA)of the first TyTN.
When I Synchronize the TyTN for the first time, all it’s correct. Active Sync puts ALL the folders and ALL the Bookmarks into device.
When I Synchronize for the second time, the folders and the bookmarks into device remain the same. BUT on PC many bookmarks disappear (62 remain) while the number of Folders remains the same.
When I Synchronize for the third time, the folders and the bookmarks into device ever remain the same. BUT on PC more other bookmarks disappear (the number of Folders remains the same).
At the end I have ALL Bookmarks and ALL Folders on TyTN, while on PC I have 40 bookmarks (about) and ALL Folders.
The same problem happens if I write step by step the Bookmarks on Device.
So, if on TyTN I write (about) 70 Bookmarks in 8 Folders and Synchronize with PC, it’s all OK .
But if I write more bookmarks on Device and I want ho synchronize these ones on PC, Is not possible! These ones remain only on device and they can’t go on PC!
I tried to change any type of settings without results. I tried Hard Reset, Format PC, reinstallation of ActiveSync and Office too.
What can I do?

I have the Cingular 8125.
One thing I can say is that the Sync between the 8125 and ActiveSync is buggy. For instance, It keeps wiping out my favorites bookmarks on my system when doing a bi-directional sync. - wierd.
Anyways, After playing around with this phone for a few weeks, I do know that ActiveSync uses TCPIP via USB to communicate with the 8125. My suggestion is to temporarily disable any and all firewalls and see if it syncs up. When I plug my phone in I get a new network adapter that shows up and obtains an IP address from nowhere (169.254.2.2) as my systems are firewalled from the internet entirely and I don't run DHCP on my network.
I suggest the following:
1) See if Windows see a new network adapter when you plug in the 8125.
2) Disable all firewalls from that adapter.
3) Establish a firewall ruleset allowing data for both your local private network subnet (10.1.0.0/255.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) and the 8125 network subnet (169.254.2.0/255.255.255.0)
4) When the phone is connected, it shows up in "My Computer" as "Mobile Device".
Hope this helps.

Hi all, i hope this is the right forum.
I have problems with ActiveSync... i dont get it, i have a HTC Touch Cruise with Windows Mobile 6, ActiveSync 4.5, Outlook 2007. Windows XP Pro (SP2) and the HTC connect, but the only thing I'm able to do is to browse the file system on the HTC, i cannot sync. The sync-action in the menus are disabled and cannot even be selected/pressed on either of the machine. Still they are connected, and i can, as i said, browse the HTC:s file system without any problems.
I have read something about "partnership" between Windows and the telephone on several forums on internet, but i have never been given the opportunity to set anything like "partnership", and following the guides to do so does not work. Also, ActiveSync says i'm connected as "Guest".
I have performed uninstall of ActiveSync and cold start on the computer along with reset of the HTC several times. I have also tried to perform the above procedure with the Anti-virus/Firewall software (F-Secure) deactivated all network traffic allowed. Still no luck.
What have i missed to be able to sync?
Regards
Margot
I gave up, installed Funambol instead, it's benefits over ActiveSync is that it actually works.
i posted a comment to this last night, but for some reason,it hasn't shown up!
basically if you right click on the active sync icon ,you can create a partnership.
But what i would do is unnstall active sync then restart the pc , then reinstall it from the download link i have provided at the bottom of this text.
Make sure also that you disconnect your phone from the pc and click start > programs > active sync
then click menu > options. If you have no partnerships in the phone then you need to do nothing. If you have partnerships then that is probably why you cannot create a new one as you can only have two partnerships on the phone.
before deleteing the partnerships ensure that you have backed up all your contacts etc in your phone as deleting any partnerships will also delete the info it is syncing to the pc i.e. contacts,appointments,tasks etc.
I would also click menu > connections and make sure that syncronise all pc's using this connection is ticked and that 'USB is displayed in the box underneath, then when that is done ,click ok.
use ppcpimbackup on your phone(not the pc) to back up all the important info so that you can restore it if anything goes wrong. Just unzip the following file then copy it to your storage card and use file explorer to open it.

Problem is that that option has never existed for me, as soon as i plug in the HTC it is always connected as "Guest" (and has always been like that from the very first time) and there has never been any possibility for me to create or delete any partnership. When i right click on the ActiveSync icon only three (3) options are available, these are "Open Microsoft ActiveSync", "Connection Settings..." and "Explore", all other options are greyed out. And option to create partnership does not exist at all, neither selectable or greyed out.
Also, i do have the correct version (4.5) of ActiveSync, i did even try the English version instead of the Swedish to rule out any impossible "possibilities" for the reason of my problems with ActiveSync.
I have written further on the subject (what procedures i have gone through in my desperate quest to get a partnership between my PC and the HTC) on this link.

No, i'm using a PC, Windows XP Pro (SP2), installed the complete Funabol server bundle and Outlook client plugin on the PC, and installed the Funambol client on the HTC TC. Set up the Server to my needs and everything that did not work with ActiveSync, now works with Funambol -- and all my base are now belong to me.
did you try the settings on the phone to see if you have the sync partnerships setup already? also did you check the sync connections were set to allow all pc connections to usb? I know you have it sorted out now , but just curious with what the problem is, especially as you can connect as a guest. Is there any other software on the phone that is stopping the active sync connection. Or is the firewall on the pc blocking it?
I have just read the forum link you posted.
The reason most of the options are faded out when you try to select them on the pc and ppc is that you have the device connected when you try you need to unplug the device and then the partnership options will be enabled.
P.S. I love sweden, i worked over there for 8 months and Norway. Mainly in the north of sweden. Your beer is too expensive though

Well, to be honest, the solution, using Funambo, is a last resort option (gee, i really come close to write "final solution" here. ), and i would still prefer to get it to work with ActiveSync. With Funambo, since i want to have full control over where the information goes, i have to run a pretty heavy server on my computer, and it does feels a bit overkill for just syncing Outlook with a PDA.
Anyway, i have tried to disable the firewall and Anti Virus software (F-Secure bundle) and allow all traffic, uninstalled AS, removed the AS aplication drawer, reboot, installed AS, soft reset my HTC, and connect it. It feels like i have tried everything. I even tried to do the complete reinstall process with my network cable to the FiberLAN disconnected to exclude the possibility of failure because of some security restriction reasons in AS, since i have WAN (internet) straight into my computer without a modem, switch, router or anything else in between (part from 127.0.0.1 i do not even have a local IP address, only a public WAN IP).

When the phone is disconnected, the ActiveSync window says "No partnership" and if i right click the ActiveSync-icon in the task manager only two options are available for selection ("Open Microsoft ActiveSync" and "Connection Settings...").
So, neither the PC or the phone has any partnership, still, when i connect them it immediately connects as guest and leave me no option to set up any partnership (neither disconnected or connected). Something is fishy.

*lol* Thanks! I'm no patriot or nationalist so i cannot take pride in being swedish, but i do appreciate our nature and so on... Indeed beer is expensive here, very expensive... But prize must also be put in perspective as it's a part of our still pretty successful national alcohol and drugs policy. It's a small price to pay for the sake of decent public health, and even with our high alcohol and tobacco taxes, the tax incomes from these products does not even close to cover the costs for the damage they indirectly cause.
Also, as i'm a "far left extremist", high taxes is a kind of a turn-on for me.
Hi. I don't seem able to access any of my shared folders on my home network since upgrading to Win 7 on my PC and the Energy ROM on my HD2.
I've tried using Resco explorer (it says 'no computers on network') and total commander. I've also tried adding the folders using their network addresses e.g. \\Lounge-PC\My Docs(E) but it doesn't work either.
I have a desktop and two laptops all running Win 7 and they share a home network using a CISCO wireless router; all are able to share files and folders.
Any help or advice gratefully accepted.

I was expecting at least one person to have had a similar problem?
can you see them through the TCPMP open file dialog?
Try option: Map Drive
Menu>File>Network>Map Drive
after add you will see folders in : my network
Xp3RiM3nT
No, I cant see any network computers in TCPMP's open file dialogue.
Raven78uk
That is how I usually connect to my shared drives but now I get the message 'no computers on network' in Resco and Total Commander doesn't show and network PCs either.
- Make sure Wifi is connected on the HD2...
- In Resco's network folder, select new folder like usual to add a share, menu->settings, check there is ONLY the IP/mask of your wifi, not the one of the data connection. If both are there, untick automatic settings, and remove the WWAN one.
Should solve it. Otherwise if you have wifi AND data connected it will try to search for computers on WWAN, which would take days...
So you can definately connect to the ahred folders from other pc's its just connecting from the phone that is the problem?
If you go to this page in your control panel on the computer with a shared folder:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings
check that the settings are enabled like so:
network discovery: on
file and printer sharing: on
sharing so anyone on network can read: on
128bit encryption: on
password protectged sharing: off (or on if you have a password on that pc, if its on and there is no password on that pc then you cant login and therefore cant connect to the shared folder)
Inore homegroup stuff.
after all of this is set correctly and you are sure some folder is being shared on the pc you are trying to connect to then go to tcpmp and go to File>open File and then go to \\<PC-NAME-HERE>\ ie \\Lounge-PC\ as you mentioned earlier.
tcpmp should prompt you for a un/pw if you have none for this pc just click login/connect (cant remember what the button says) and then ytou should see your folders/files?
see how you do with that and we can then try and see why you cant see them in explorer.
It's probably because of Windows 7 Home Group. It's a pain in the arse to get normal file sharing working be default..
