Hi,
as some of you may know, the O2 XDA Neo has a software bug, that disables charging via usb when the homezone plugin is installed.
I dislike the fact, that everytime i sync my Prophet/XDA Neo, it is automatically charged.
Now my question is - is it possible to "use" the bug to build a little program that enables one to toggle whether the prophet is only synced or charged and synced when connected via usb.
Thank in advance,
Stefan
Have you tried these registry settings to see if they have the same effect?
I don't know the Neo.

Hi!
I have set my ActiveSync in options that it should only snyc on connection and set schedule to manual. But when my XDAII is in its cradle and the PC is running, the device turns on and performs a sync about every 15 minutes. How can this be avoided?
Thanks for help.
Dominik
there is such an option
i just cant recall if it's in activesync on the pc
or activesync on the xda
Try this:
On activ sync on the pc
open up options go to shedule and set server also to manually. see if this work
Hi!
I have already set server option to manual, but that doesnt help.
The problem is, that the XDAII turns on, syncs and doesnt turn off after 5 minutes like I told it to do in the xda settings. It just turns off the backlight, keeps on and starts to sync again after 15 minutes.
Are there any Active Sync options on the XDA itself anyway?
Thanks for help
Dominik
I have the same problem like you.
XDA2 syncronize and then, after about 1 minute it disconnect.
and you are using the 3.7.1 version ?
the older ones are kinda strange
Hi!
I use the 3.7 which came with my XDAII.
Any differences to 3.7.1?
If so, where can I get it?
Best regards
Dominik
Yes, I'm using 3.7.1
I performed a full reset and my PC runs WinXP.
You can find ActSync 3.7.1 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync37.mspx
When I try to make a backup during this process the connection shut down and show following msg "Connection to device was broken during backup. The operation was canceled. Your backup file has been returned to its previous state."
I don't know what I do?
I forgot. I'm using a XDA usb cable on my XDA2 maybe this is the problem. What do you think?
When I'm using the cradle everything is perfect.
I bought the XDA usb cable in order to charge XDA2 while on the road with usb cigarret lighter adapter.
Hi!
I have updated to 3.7.1, but the non-scheduled regular syncs problem remains.
I think this may also be caused by WinXP because when I deinstalled Active Sync, Windows kept checking the connected XDAII every now and then, trying to establish a connection. As I have set ActiveSync to "sync at connect", this regular connect may be what Windows does.
What do you think?
Dominik
Are you using the original cradle/cable? I think the XDA usb cable doesn't works with XDA2 except as a charger.
Hi!
Original cables for me.

Hi All, great forum this found out loads of info.
I have a real problem.
My connector on the Handset has broke so not able to sync with laptop.

Hi.
I spent hours and hours trying to sep up Activesync and I found these and sorted it:
Bluetooth Drivers:
First I removed the old Bluetooth drivers as they are not needed.

Com ports:
Then I reset the com ports.

I found this a little tricky, but I did it like this (using SP2 BT drivers on XP):
1.Start off with the phone and computer unpaired
2.Open the bluetooth menu (double click on the bluetooth icon in the system tray).
3.Select the comm ports tab and click to add a new INCOMING port. - This port got assigned to something stupid like comm 36.
4.Open device manager, and select the comm port that has just been made.
5. Go to properties->port settings->advanced and change it to a lower end port you know isn't in use. I selected 3.
6. Reboot the computer (not sure if this was really needed)
7. On the phone go to start->settings->system-bluetooth settings and make sure the in and outgoing ports are selected (again not sure if thats essential, but I have it on and it works for me). Then press start.
8. Bond with your computer. There isnt anything that tells you if this has worked or not (which is very frustrating), so you just gotta click ok and test it.
9. In activesync go into the connections bit and tell it to list on the comm that you set in step 3. To get to this bit you have to have synced your phone through usb or something first.
10. on the phone go to activesync->tools->connect via bluetooth (remember to turn bluetooth on first). If everything has gone to plan then it should connect fine.
I did this a few times until suddenly it worked. I'm not sure what I did the time that it did work, but it was something, so I would suggest trying slightly different things each time, but I'm pretty sure it was that way.
The whole process of setting up activesync over bluetooth is really tedious imo, and could be greatly improved in many many ways.
Good luck and let me know if this works.

when i try to bond with my computer...why is it asking for a PIN CODE? im trying to connect my imate to the computer so i can sync thru bluetooth and possibly use the internet when i'm around the house. Can someone please help me?
i tried the search engine, but its no help for me.
of course it will ask for a pincode in both directions.. meaning your phone and PC.. but this for the first time connection only... so what you want to do is to set each other as an authorized counterpart of the other so that you will not have any confirmations again
ok...sorry for these noobie question...i have finaly established a connection with my PC.
is it possible for me to use the internet from my computer on my PDA thru BT? for example, i want to use AIM *AOL* instant message, but im not sure if there is an internet connection on my PDA thru bluetooth. How would i tell if there is a connection? if not, how do i connect? please help? thanks again in advance
If you go into activesync and under options-->rules at the bottom there is the option to share your net connection with the synced device (called pass-through). My XDA II pops up a message when its making a gprs connection.
Hi @ all,
I did not tested it again because I now have a synccable.
This works fine.
Thanks a lot for your great support!
I installed Mobile Navigon4 (Update4.2). Because of the fact that my audiospeaker is not working (Audio about Headset & BT-Headset works fine/speaker is not defect)here is my question:
Can I use the PPC in my car for navigation ?I want to use the BT-Headset for the navigation audio output.Does it work?
I have set up a bluetooth sync on my VARIO on Comm Port 4 so i can synchronize using Active Syc 4.1.
Whenever i decide i want to use my USB cable instead of bluetooth so that i can charge the device at the same time it removes my COM4 port from Activesync so that when i next try to connect by bluetooth it wont work.
How do i fix this problem????
Also where do i download LOKIWIZ and is it worth using and if i have problems with it will a Hard Boot remove it???
My new M5000 syncs fine with my office PC. When I try to sync at home the device isn't found and so no partnership is set up. Strangely, it establishes a LAN Connection when I try to connect. Anyone got any suggestions ? I had no such prolem with my Qtek 9090.
update to the latest active sync version
I'm using 4.1 which as far as I know is the latest !
I installed 4.1 to connect with another phone, and it stopped working with the universal, with very similar symptoms, it registered as a lan device. I had to downgrade to 4.0 in order to get it to sync correctly.
Also, try rebooting the 'puter, and plugging the USB cable directly into the first hub, not a downstream hub.
Also, what is the state of your battery when you try? I found that the charge current required sometimes when the battery is low is too much for one of my hubs, causing it not to identify correctly.
Thanks for that Coldpenguin. Battery is full, I've tried re-boot, re-install, different USB points all to no avail. I've got 4.0 (I think) at my office so I'll give that a try on Monday. Thanks

Dear All,
I've the same problem with SVP M5000, so any ideas?

I try this, but my START and STOP buttons are inactive in all positions.
Taiseer999. Tried that, made no difference, still won't connect !
Do I feel stupid. My Firewall wasn't letting it through. Disabled F/W and hey presto - perfect. F/W now configured to allow Active Sync and all is well. Thanks to all for advice.
Hello
I'm looking for some help and advice with a problem I have with an i-mate xda2 and trying to communicate with my desktop using windows xp. Like many other owners of the xda2 the bottom connector has become completely disconnected and as a result I have been trying to set up using Activesync over Biuetooth. I have followed various tutorials on how to make this connection without sucess. I recently did a hard reset on the xda2(WM2005) and now find I do not have the options for setting up Bluetooth that I had before the hard reset-for example I cannot select serial port option-I just have the hands-free option! It may be that I need to use the cradle/USB connection before I can set up activesync over Bluetooth.
Note -the desktop and xda2 recognise each other but not using activesync.
Any comments/advice would be appreciated.
Regards

That link might help you.
However, I thought they had disabled wireless access completely with Activesync as a security measure?
Anyway, someone can correct me if I am wrong. I have never done it over bluetooth personally.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for your reply but I'm afraid it did not help. I think my problem stems from the fact that I did a hard reset after the usb cable socket on my PPC broke off and this is stopping me getting the correct Bluetooth settings.
