Against all the odds U have got my XDA Mini S to sync with Activesync 4.1 both at home (music) and work (work). However, my work connection drops constantly, doesn't like disconnecting and then reconnecting and now it seems it isn't doing it's primary job of synchronising.
I have an Outlook calender entry that has been removed, but it is still showing on my XDA despite soft resets, sync's, repeated banging, etc.
Bizarre! Anyone else suffering ? :?
OK, I'll answer my own question
I reinstalled the latest version from MS, dated 20th Jan (although it's the same version number I've had since last year) and used a direct USB port(not a replicator one) and hey Tesco! it seems to have worked. Then again the a[ppointment could just have dropped off the radar.
Ho hum.

I own 128 MB JAM since March 2005 and use it with T-Mobile USA.
In May I installed 1.11.00 WWE upgrade. I had it synchronized with my desktop and laptop and it worked fine for me.
Last week I was on the Business trip and used the JAM only as a phone and a PDA.
When I've got back home I tried to synchronize and charge it as usual.
Synchronization started, but after 25-30 secs it gave me a message within the ActiveSync window "Connected. Synchronization error" and then immediately after that it changed to "Not connected".
I tried again - same result.
Next I tried to synchronize it with my laptop - same story.
After all I tried to delete partnerships and create new - no result. I am able though to connect as a guest.
At that point I decided to try the hard reset. By coincidence that same day I saw the news that ROM 1.13.00 WWE became available. I successfully installed it and tried to ActiveSync without installing the back-up then - no luck, same problem.
As well I'd like to mention that I have HP iPAQ 2215 and I can synchronize it with both computers without any problems.
So it looks like something is wrong with the JAM.
I hope you guys can help me to fix this problem...
Alex,
Had this problem also but my hard reset solved it. Have you tried re-installing Activesync? You may also want to take a look under C:\Documents and Settings\{Your Desktop}\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles to check if indeed the profile data was deleted properly. Goodluck!
Yes, I did hard reset, uninstalled the ActiveSync, erased all files in the 'Profiles' folder, disconnnected the cable, rebooted the desktop, downloaded the latest version of AS from the MS website, lnstalled it.
Then installed the AS, connected the cable, and tryed to establish the partnership.
SAME negative result.
It created the partnership and wright after it said 'Connected. Synchronization error' and immediately droped connection.
I am puzzled here...
I'm stumped! Usually a HR solves this for me... Have you tried a Bluetooth sync (this may be a temp workaround til you find the solution) have you tried using a diff USB port and/or cable to sync your device?
bnycastro,
Thanks for your help.
No, I did not try the bluetooth sync yet, but I definitely know that it is my JAM's problem now.
This morning I installed the latest version of ActiveSync available on the MS website on my daughter's PC. ActiveSync was never installed there before.
Then I tried to sync the JAM - same problem as I described in the previous posts. Right after that I paired my HP 2215 and no problem. It work as it supposed to.
It is a real mistery cause between the last time I was able to syncronize the JAM and the time the problem occure I did not install any software, did not pair it with any other PC... I only used it as a phone and a PDA on the trip.
The only what I noticed is that all of a sudden it started to freeze after every 10 -15 min of use. But now after I flashed the ROM to 1.13.00 it works normally except for the syncing problem.
Any other ideas how I can fix it?
I would really appreciate your help...
I'd suggest the Bluetooth sync and maybe taking it (your device) for service.
Hi all
Just looking for some inspiration or help prior to throwing my 9100 (and probably myself at the same time) off the nearest cliff!
I've read all the threads on getting ActiveSync 4.x to work with WM5 but none have seemed to work for me. My problem isn't establishing a partnership - does that fine - it's just that it takes about 2hrs+ to sync my Wizard with Outlook. All the right elements of AS are given the right permissions on my firewall (even tried it with F/W switched off and still no joy!) - just can't figure out why it's taking so long - there's not that much info to sync - in fact, I could probably key it all in manually quicker!
So, unless anyone can suggest otherwise, I figure I've got a couple of options:
1, wait for MS to release their fixed version at the end of November (assuming they do and assuming it fixes the problem - too many assumptions here to get me excited or hopeful!) or
2, buy a BT dongle for my PC and sync over BT instead of USB. Anyone tried this way of syncing? Does it work well?
Kind of last resort really prior to losing my sanity. BTW, this is the only problem/issue I've got with the Wizard (which isn't really a Wizard fault, more Uncle Bill's fault) - it really is a great convergence device!
Thanks for any help.
is your connection from your 9100 straight into the pc or is it via a hub?
also are you connecting using usb 1.1 or 2.0
I have had delay problems since installing zone alarm, sometimes if i disconect the usb at the k-jam end and re-plug in, it then works straight away.
tired both and makes no difference - at the moment it's straight into the pc using usb cable - the usb slots on pc are usb 2, but not sure what speed the cable that's shipped with 9100 is???
have you got zone alarm installed?
nope - norton internet security 2005 with all the latest updates (same goes for XP SP2, Office 2003 SP2, although I have uninstalled the Outlook Junk e-mail filter)
nope - norton internet security 2005 with all the latest updates (same goes for XP SP2, Office 2003 SP2, although I have uninstalled the Outlook Junk e-mail filter)
got rid of norton, found zone alarm much more user friendly, apart from activesync 4.1.
never had problems with activesync 4.0
have you ever tried using bluetooth to sync with pc? small investment = less headache - no?
Try booting in safe mode and see if that makes a difference. If it does, you have something starting up that is causing a problem. I have seen nortons internet security cause problems in the past. When you connect via usb, it actually assigns an ip address and configures a network connection. Network connections are controlled by firewalls. I had probs connecting and turned of my firewall and it didnt make a difference. It was the firewall that was causing the prob. Once I got it setup correctly, IE ALL exe's in activesync folders allowed full access, it worked fine. I also use bluetooth to sync and it is just about as fast. It is slower when installing programs or transferring files, but syncing is no prob. Hope this helps.

thanks for the advice - will probably give bluetooth a try - not over concered about security as there's nothing of real value to anyone else on the device.

Hi All,
I have spent all day trying to fix this but havn't got anywhere, has anyone got any ideas?
Basicly, both my wife and I have a vario. I can sync mine fine, but when I come to plug in the other one activesync initialy ignores it then says its connecting but then gives up. Windows displays a network icon with an ! saying limited or no connectivity.
After a while the wizard says"Unable to obtain a server assigned ip address".
I tried.....
Reinstalling active sync (4.1) and putting my wife's phone in first
restarting phone (soft)
turning firewall off
tried my old c500, worked fine
....in many combinations, but no luck.
As i have synced other devices fine, it must be due to the fact that I have two wizards and AS or XP is getting its knickers in a twist.
I suppose it could be worse - it could be my phone that won't sync
John
I just tried the non-syncing vario at a friends house and it worked fine!
I feel a XP reinstall coming on (really don't want to do that)
Any ideas?
I don't think reinstalling XP is going to help. I have exactly the same problem. One will sync the other not and I get the IP error thing.
This only started recently after I had to hard reset my Wizard.
Last night I succesfuly synced over bluetooth with both devices but I still cant use USB with one of them.
I have the same. Can sync with IR but not USB.
Hi,
Have had K-Jam for about a month now. ROM up to date (pending new ROM in next few weeks I believe). Activesync 4.1 installed on WinXPSP2, running Norton Internet Security 2006 (incl firewall etc) on a Vaio Laptop. Out of box the K-Jam synchronised easily and quickly to Outlook through USB, never had any connectivity issues. Synching also worked fine through Bluetooth which I tried only as a test as charging and synching all day was useful at my desk and stopped my speakers making a racket every time the GPRS kicked in to download my email (every 15 mins * 2 accounts). Everything was working perfectly, I was a very happy man and I have to say I am very happy indeed with the K-Jam other than occasional performance issues (bad button/touch screen lag occasionally).
HOWEVER
Firstly, I was hugely disappointed with Activesync 4.1 which seems a big step backwards not least through the loss of useful features such as Backup/Restore. It seems like a nasty cheap alternative to the older Activesync 3.8 which I used happily with my Ipaq for over a year. Nevermind - I bought my own backup software spBackup which runs every night and backs up onto my sd card - a nice feature for when I am travelling without laptop and need to cold boot and restore (something that always worried me with Backup/Restore being based on my PC with AS3.8).
Secondly, the K-Jam hung on an incoming phonecall and the soft reset button would not work. Thank god for spBackup I thought, so did a hard reboot and ran the spBackup executable on the storage card. On restore, the K-Jam looked fine, everything was back to the state it was in at 3am that morning.
BUT
Now, when I plug the USB cable between K-Jam and laptop, Activesync just sits saying "Connecting" with the spinning circle green and never gets any further. I can hear windows detect the device, and the first time I connected it it installed "Generic RDIS device" plus whatever other bits and bobs - so the device is clearly connecting. Activesync just never gets any further than "Connecting". I have searched high and low, but there is nothing other than advice re Windows Firewall (my Norton Firewall for instance). I went to the extent of removing the firewall etc, and have got to the stage that I can confirm that it is not a firewall issue. If I try to get a connection from activesync from the K-Jam, the activesync on the device flashes momentarily and is then in the disconnected stage again. I removed all partnerships from both devices, tried again - no joy. I then tried to synchronise with Bluetooth - Success!
Therefore all is not lost, I can connect with Bluetooth. But it is irritating not being able to connect via USB. My suspicion is that I am going to have to hard reset and reinstall everything once more - but before I go that route does anyone have any advice that may be able to help me?
Thanks.

Sounds like exactly the same problem I had. Worth a go, anyway.

Had a go. No joy unfortunately.
Looking through the forum there are a lot of issues with AS4.1 which fills me with dread...
I'll keep googling and hoping someone else has resolved this issue.
Thanks.
hi everyone, i had recenetly hard reseted my Xda Exec by accident, after that i couldn't sync with my activesync 4.1, i had delete my old relateionship plus installed activesync 4.2, but it still not working!!! the phone and pc can detect each other, but they just don't sync, both screen apperaed "syncing" and stay there for an hour. what should i do now??? i don't to type in all the number one by one again!!!
hi
I get the exact same thig here, but ave narrowed the problem down.
If I use Tweaks2k and have GPRS ALWAYS ON set to on, then I can't activesync at all, either cable or bluetooth, it just sits there looking for changes.
If I toggle GRPS ALWAYS ON to off, then it works fine.
Anyone else noticed this, or is it a known issue?
FYI, I have a o2 Exec with latest O2 ROM and am using push email
