I need some intervention! Please give me some insight on this. I have ActiveSync on my home computer done with no problem and hoped to sync my MDA to my work computer as well.
So before I tried my work computer I had at least 6 MB of mem left. I syncing my to my work computer, sync only appointments and tasks (which aren't many) and then my memory is low! :shock:
I went from 6 MB to .66 MB! What the hell is going on!? Are their program hidden files that sync into my MDA from ActiveSync I'm not aware of?
I can't find these files that have taken up almost all my memory. I've checked temp folders and the like. Nothing. After all my hard work in tweaking, I'm not trying to hard reset. Somebody, anybody! PLEASE!
Any ideas? PLEASE?!
check the size of teh files you sync'ed it sounds they may be larger than you think. I had a similar issue and had to remove some notes and such to reslove it.
Thanks Mage for the reply. I went ahead and Hard Reset, I couldn't bear to see a error message.

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..?

Hello, being noob again here...
I bought a MiniSD for my 9100, but I can't find a way to get my synch-ed files written automatically over it instead than the usual internal folder. Since the main point for the card was it to store large synched files, is there any way to get ActiveSync to point to the card directly?
Thank you for your help...
I've been using this program for a while now; works great:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=985
Syncs any file/folder from the PC to any file/folder to PDA- including the storage card. Works in conjuction with ActiveSync.
Hi,
have a look at this: http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/move_my_documents_storage
But don't know if it works as it is WM2003.
Regards,
Hades.
Mobsync is WONDERFUL!
I tried many other shareware options before reading your suggestion, but Mobsync is just perfect. No weird logic (another one only synched in one direction, but not the other...), no absurd limits (yet another one would only sync up to eight folders), no cost!
Yeah!
Ahem. Maybe I was a bit early in my enthusiasm.
Yes, the new sync program works just fine... but if I switch the 9100 off while connected by cable to my PC, somehow in a short while it springs back to life, soft resets by itself and... well, after that it's just fine, but I suppose this behavior is initiated by the new syncher.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Setting up a friends MDA, and not wanting to do another hard reset. His MDA is set up with exchange and activesync. When you try to open any email attachments, which are set to save to SD, it gets a window titled "Messaging" which says "Unable to display the attachment."
Any ideas?
anyone?
did you find a solution to this? I have the same problem.
Same problem here. Can't find a solution, so I'm probably going to hard-reset today.
Maybe the attachment you are trying to open is not associated with any program installed on the PPC!??
No, the problem happens with JPG and GIF attachments. There's a fundemental problem with attachments, as I can't send them either - if I choose a picture I've just taken with the camera, and choose 'Send' and send it via email, the attachment is corrupted (a 59k image is truncated to 99 bytes).
It definitely used to work, but something's caused it to break in the last few weeks. If somebody knows how to fix it without hard-resetting I'd be very grateful!
I had a similar problem, except active sync refused to download attachments for some reason. It owuld just go trough the motions and then announce the download had failed. no idea why but the two could be linked somehow. other problems I had at the time were today screen not loading up properly with the storage card in, inserting the storage card stopped push-email until I soft-reset the device and frequent device hangs. As there was a new rom available I decided the best thing to do was to flash the rom and start again. THis may be the best course fo action for you too. I also over-clocked to 240mhz and its like I got a completely new machine!
Ah well, too late, I've hard-reset now. :roll:
i did a hard reset too...
the only thing i could think that may have affected the mail would be that i installed flex mail 2006 for testing but never ended up using it...
did you guys install that too?
Nope.
Seems like it has done it again... I dont want to hard reset all my stuff again!!!!!!!!!!
Hard Reset
I am also hard resetting as we speak because I just can't solve this one.
Solution!
Ok... this has happened again and I know now what has caused it!
I was cleaning out some directories prior to it happening again. It then happened and I realised what i had deleted had caused this problem.
Make sure you have the following directory in your ppc memory storage:
"/Program Files/Connections/Mail Attachments"
After I recreated this directory it all started working again.
Finally I found the solution to this annoying problem!!!!!
Cheers,
X.
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to say thank you for the solution. I had searched Google to no end until I found yours!
Thanks for the help!

Wow, good job X.
Thanks for posting the fix!
Hi I hope someone can help me. I just got my Wizard and I love it.
I managed to install several programs until a few days ago.
Now I can't install anything. When I go into the Add/Remove programs the list is empty (and yet I still have the programs I installed) so I can't remove anything.
Suddenly ActiveSync doesn't sync (but I can Explore the device from by desktop PC)
I can't change the Themes.
I am ready to "hard-reset" but am not sure if that is really the solution. Everything worked a couple of days ago and I can't figure out what went wrong.
The only different is that I added a mini-SD card, this is a 2GB noname which only works to read not to write.
Has anyone seen anything like this with WM5?
martinsoler,
Did you find any other solution besides hard resetting?
I have the same problem on my Cingular 8125 in that the remove programs list is blank and I can not establish a sync partnership, it only connects as Guest.
I haven't found a solution and am ready to hard reset the device, but I'd like to know what caused this and if there is a solution.
Same thing just happened to me on my new 8525. I guess I'll do a hard reset
samething here, nothing on these forums on how to fix if you can not sync and the list is empty
try to install the newest version of active sync...some roms need to have it to connect...have you tried to remove those programs using utility in your phone in settings??
I am ready to throw my phone against the wall!
All of a sudden about 2 days ago my phone began to run extremely slow. I cant even describe how slow it was. If I tried to send a 8 word text and after the 4th letter or so it would simply stop recognizing keyboard input. Its acting like its low on ram but I have plenty of memory. If I let it sit, turned on, for a 10 mins or so it might finally show the text so I could then send it. Also, the internet stopped working and it wouldnt connect to my email server (hotmail). I did a hard reset, soft reset and nothing worked. Its acting like it has a virus or something.
Cut to today, I thought I could just reflash it with Black Satin Medium and it would fix everything. It always seemed like a good program and I never had any problems before so I thought I could just reinstall it. It was fine for about an hour and now its moving slow again. I dont know if it could have been one of the .cabs I installed but they are the same cabs I had on my phone for months before it flipped out 2 days ago.
So please help! I use my phone for everything and right now it is unusable!
Once I get that part figured out I need help to figure out how I can get my contacts back onto my 8525. I have flashed my phone before but they always appeared right back onto my phone when I was done. It was effortless. And now I cant figure out how to get my contacts back. On Activesync, when I go to Tools, Options, then try to select Contacts as an item to sync I get a message that says "Activesync cannot synchronize Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes, because outlook is not installed on Windows PC. To Sync Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes do the following: Disconnect the device, Install and run outlook, and then reconnect the device and try again."
But I have outlook on my PC and 8525. I never use either of them but they are there.
Lastly, and this is another big annoyance, any time I connect my 8525 to my laptop the clock on my phone jumps ahead 3 hours exactly. The time on my computer is the current time and so is the time on my phone. but everytime it jumps forward.
I am using Black Satin Medium WM 6
Rom date: 7/10/07
Radio version: 1.43.00.00
Protocal Version: 32.76.7020.19H
Storage:
63.48 mb total
7.35 mb used
Program:
50.77 mb total
27.72 mb used

Installed cabs are:

PLEASE HELP!

Hi Jim,
1. Hermes is a good device - don't do that with some patience everything will be fine.
2. In such a situation I will go to a major upgrade. Flash new radio e.g. 1.54, and maybe try some of new ROMs - Schap'a or Shamanix
- dont rush to install any cabs first, just see how the device performs for some time. Try syncing with your pc to see can you get the contacts on the devide
- it could be that some of the cabs got corrupted. maybe make sense to download them anew.
- start installing the cabs one by one, with significant time and usage between the installations - you can figure out which one is causing the problem
3. before start syncing for first time, just delete all mobile devices on PC activesync -- >File>Delete Mobile Device
4. Check your regional and clock settings
Have you installed any other software from your PC? I use to have similar problems with early versions of WM6 after installing CE-Star (Asian languages support)
Let me konw how the device performs
Cheers
PS. It is recomended after fresh flash of ROM to hardreset the device imediatley and only then start installations od applications
I just installed Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 ROM and its running much better. It looks to be a great program. I wish the clock wasnt so huge but it all seems to run great.
I still cant get my contacts to sync though. When I put my device name in there and connect using activesync it keeps changing the device name to WM_Owner.
Im playing with it. Any more suggestions could be helpful.
The regional settings were off. So the clock is now good.

Glad to hear that the device start running better
re sync issue - did you delete all mobile devices on Microsoft ActiveSync? after that you should be able to establishe a new partnership between the PC and PPC - then everything must work fine
But if i delete all of my mobile devices it will erase my saved info then my contacts will be lost for ever wont they?

You dont delete any info on your PC, only the partnership between PC and Pocket PC. This will not affect your contacts. After that should establish a new partnership - choosing all settings etc., and everything must be fine.
WARNING! Better first archive your contacts and then proceed.
I deleted one of the two relationships, WM_Owner, and it deleted the folder on my pc with all the info in it. I haven't deleted the WM_James_Klafe2 relationship yet because that's the one that should have all my contact info it it. that was the name of my phone before I installed schap's 4.2
I have it backed up, should I just delete it and see what happens when I reconnect it? should I name my 8525 WM_James_Klafe2 again?
I hate creating more clutter but I started a new thread that specially relates to this problem.

Hi Jimbo69ny,
Personally I test almost every new rom for Hermes, and every time there is a new rom on my device I do three things:
1. name the phone - e.g. WM_James_Klafe2
2. delete partnerships on the PC - do not do any backup etc.
3. establishing new partnership between the pc and ppc
thats all!
All my contacts are synced with no problem, including notes, and other stuff defined for synchronization. in fact your contacts are stored in outlook, and deleteing the partnership do not affects them at all
Cheers
so what if I don't have outlook installed anymore? does that mean I lost my contacts? does someone a copy of office that has outlook in it someone could send me?
Damn it Ive been having one problem after another with my 8525 just when I think things are going good there is another set back.
My phone wont sync to my computer anymore. I have Schaps 4.20 installed and I installed the cube earlier today just to see what it was like because I was going to upgrade to shaps 4.3. I really liked it but I its more than I need. Now its time to upgrade and when I connect my phone to my pc i get a message that says "usb device not recognized"
What the heck is going on?
I uninstalled the cube from my ppc did 2 soft resets, restarted my computer and it still wont recognize my pcc
After two hard resets I finally got it to accept Shaps 4.3 rom. It still wouldnt do it after the 1st and 2nd hard reset but for some reason, the last time I connected it via usb, it worked.
THANK GOD! I dont know what happened and why it wouldnt connect but Im happy I fixed.
Still no contacts though
Hi Jimbo69ny,
to best of my knowledge the contacts are stored in outlook. if do not have outlook on your pc i cant say what activesync will sync - my assumption is that you have, as you was able to sync some time ago, dont you?
(on my secnd pc i have outlook express and it syncs too with no problems)
which Cube you have installed? I never had such kind of problems with any cube.
the problem "usb device not recognized" happens from time to time - no idea about the exact reason. sometime it is enough to disconnect the device and connect it again, in few cases i needed to restart the computer - and then it worked with no problems. never did hardreste.
I am confused that you still cannot get your contacts synced. i guess you followed the steps i gave you previously
let me know how you forward
btw, try focussing on one issue only - get first your contacts synced
