WHY DOSN'T Activesync work?????
I can put up with Activesync not working under VPC on my Mac but I CANNOT put up with it not Activesyncing with a brand new 2 month old IBM laptop running XP Pro and all the latest patches.
Is it the phone that is at fault or Microsoft or a combination?????
My old PDA2K Activesyncs fine on BOTH VPC and the IBM so why not this device?
Anyone PLEASE HELP ME.......

Are you using ActiveSync v.4.1?
If it is a Windows Mobile 5 device (Wizard, Universal) instead of a Windows Mobile 2003SE Device, you need a minimum version 4.1 of ActiveSync
Yup it is a Wizard and I am using AS 4.1.
I have tried Firewall on, off, VPN on, off.
I have de-installed and re-installed 4.1.
Still NOTHING.
The Laptop see's new hardware, says it has installed okay and then AS does NOTHING.!!!!!!!!
Robin
in my case it was the firewall
you sure both your windows and software firewall is off?
also check in network connections that your phone network connection is connected
what happens in activesync... errors? does it display its trying to sync ? just "it is not syncing" doesnt help
If the laptop sees the device as new hardware and not the actual device it means that you do not have active Synch 4.1 or that the installation was borked . because 4.1 includes the drivers for this phone to be recognized by windows.. so if you had 4.1 it would show your phone name and then it might not have worked , but not the way you are describing it now.
Also you might wanna put up a bit more objective title when posting something like this if you want psotive feedback instead of flamez...
very good point avocaz
totally missed the point that it does detect but possibly does not install which would be down the active sync 4.1 not being there

1. Certainly I turned off the Windows Firewall, don't know about any other Firewall. HOWEVER the fact my PDA2K can connect surely rules out a Firewall problem?
2. Don't know how to do this? I am a Mac user and am using XP JUST to sync my phone.
3. Nothing happens in Activesync. I get the normal, bing bong chime. but the AS icon does not turn green or open.
If I manually open AS and tellit to cennect it cannot find an attached PDA.
On the other hand if I attach my PDA2K I get the bing bong, the icon turns green, AS opens fine.
Is that clearer?
Is there any more info you need?

But surely the fact that when I connect my PDA2K AS 4.1 opens and works indicates it IS there and working?
If I check its version it says 4.1?
AS 4.1 is the first instal of AS on this machine, never had an earlier version on it.
Sorry about the title but I guessed I would at least get some response with it. :lol:
I am pulling my hair out here and don't want to return the phone but without a computer connection it is totally useless to me.
Robin
Its not your desktop. Its the AS client on the device itself that causes these problems. Apparently, the next ROM Update is supposed to fix all AS issues. Just hold on till mid-Jan.

Sounds reasonable HOWEVER if I cannot get the damn thing to connect to a PC I am never going to be able to laod the new rom to fix the problem it won't connect to a pc, so I won't be able to connect ot a PC ...........
I am losing it big time...
How would I install the update without a PC connection?
Robin
Use the wifi to download the rom ? Sorry your having problems but this phone definately doesnt stink. Havent put mine down since Christmas day .... the wife is definately not pleased. She keeps giving it daggers :lol:
Okay
My FIRST bit of success.
I found out my laptop has a IRD port and the phone HAS connected via this so it is most certainly a USB issue.
Now the question is can a rom update be done of IRD or does it need to be the USB connection?
Robin
PS WiFI download would not help as the rom needs to be loaded FROM a PC.
Just a thought, but are you connecting via a usb hub?
Best not to, and I find always using the same usb socket also helps...

DO NOT INSTALL ROM UPDATE VIA IR.
It should be done via USB ONLY. Thats one of the main instructions in the ROM update page that pops up on executing the RU file.
I had problems because of the ports. AS4.X needs a hand full of ports to communicate with the PPC, in my case TCP Port 990 was already in use.

HOw do I check this, I am not very PC Literate.
I am much more used to a Mac where things normally 'just work' :?
I have just noticed a couple of things following some of the Microsoft trouble shooting guide.
If I have AS open on the KJAM it shows the spinning green button and that it is trying to connect, still nothing on the PC end.
HOWEVER what I did notice on the PC end in Device Manager is that a Windows mobile-based device appears under netowrk connectors.
So SOME KIND of connection IS happening.
Robin
PS Many thanks for being a sounding board for me and your helpful ideas, it is very much appreciated, I just wish I was making more progress.
Let me set the record straight.
This phone does NOT stink. The more I use it the more I like it.
Certainly it is a big improvement over my PDA2K in size and usability.
HOWEVER I still cannot get it to connect to my laptop and I am getting so frustrated cause its the last thing left for me before I really start to LIKE this phone..............
Any more ideas out there because I have tried everything I can think of with no luck at all except via IRDA.
Robin
Can anyone help please?
I cannot get my xda mini to sync. Basically it just keeps running and nothing happens.
I have researched a lot of threads which refer to setting up a dummy server connection for what I presume is the the "exchange server" which I have attempted - is this a false IP address please?
On my PC, activesync diplays Exchange Server and my XDA with a list of the sync items below.
I keep getting a message on the XDA saying it cannot retrieve an IP address for the connection. Sometimes when I sync the try to connect via GPRS
I do have a wifi connection set up which now works (most of the time).
TIA.
I have the same problem as you with my QTEK 9100. Sometimes it works to connect the device to my portable computer (Compaq Presario 2800) via ActiveSync but mostly it does not. ActiveSync just keep looking for the device but doesnt find it.
I have also tried after that I have turned off the firewall and antivirus software, but it still doesnt work. The few (2-3 times) that it did work I had my firewall and antivirus running.
Anyone have an idea what I should do? It's a brand new QTEK 9100 (just got it a few days ago) with ROM 1.3.7.13 SVE, ROM date 9/29/05. Since I can't connect my device to the computer I can't upgrade the ROM.
turn off your firewall
disable your onboar intell wifi card if you have one
Does this happen to your device when you connect to Activesync immediatly after soft-resetting the device?
I have a similar problem, but I have no problems when I connect to AS for the first time, if I try connecting again before performing a Soft-reset AS won't find the device and the device becomes unasable, only soft-reset solves this problem.
Anyone else with these symptoms?

Yes it is the same problem no matter of the soft reboots. The only times I get it to work is when I have reinstalled the activesync 4.1 software on my laptop, after a reboot (of the laptop) it does not work; instead it only display a network icon with "Limited or no connectivity" (this is also without both firewall and antivirus installed) when I connect the device. The result is that AS can't find the device...
My theory is that it somehow looses the USB drivers installed with ActiveSync 4.1 when I reboot the computer. Anyone know how to fix this? Which (dll?) files belong to the USB drivers? I might be able to manually replace them in the correct path if I find that out...
any news??? I just met the same problem
simple enuf chaps...
i just met the same problem and the fix is pretty simple...
remove a/s 4.1
re-install a/s 3.7 / 3.8.1

re-install 4.1
How do you get a connection between a WM5 device and ActiveSync 3.7 or 3.8?
I cannot get a partnership.
Is this because a WM5 uses IP-protocol for the connection?
thanks
Peter
I am using Dopod 838, the asia version of Qtek9100.
I also seems to have problem on activesync 4.1 which keep on sync and fail to connect. When it fail. I will try
1) In Windows Task Manager, kill wcescomm.exe
2) Kill everything in wizard
3) manually turn-on activesync4.1 on pc again.
4) connect wizard with PC again..
I just bought my phone for 2 days and i have to try a few more times to confirm it really helps.. may be you can give it a try too.

you will need AS 4.0 and above for all WM5 devices
You might want to check device manager when your device is hooked up via USB and make sure there are no exclamation marks on your handheld device.
I have a laptop and I only installed ActiveSync 4.1 and it works fine. I've even re-imaged my laptop since getting the phone and wasn't a problem second time around. I also installed 4.1 on my work PC and it works fine there too.
Not sure if you can use anything older than 4.0. (Not sure the reasons why)
At work I tried to use 3.8 (Just for the hell of it) but 4.0 updates all the USB drivers and stuff. Anything below 4.0 will not recognize WM 5.0 devices as jfran said. After installing 4.x I don't know the reason or need to uninstall then install something older then uninstall and reinstall 4.x.
It should work straight after install. However I do NOT know what happens if by chance you had an older version of ActiveSync then tried upgrading to 4.x. Should work though. I know people have had success upgrading from 3.7 and 3.8 to 4.1 to use the newer Dell Axim x51v which have WM 5.0 here in my environment.
Thanks everybody for your replies,
it was after hamish_dy tip I wanted to know how to get an connection between AS3.x and a WM5 device, since I haven't been able to do so. And I also have read that WM5 needs AS 4.x in order to sync.
Have had my Qtek9100 now for a week, and have been studied this forum in detail for a solution on my problem.
Previously I had a Qtek S100 which synced with my laptop together with AS 3.8. My company uses Groupwise as e-mail system, but with Outlook 2002 also installed on laptop I got it working (also after some days of trial).
Now with my Qtek9100 nothing happends when I plug in the USB-cable. Well not true, it will connect with an IP-address and I can from AS see the filestructure on my Qtek, BUT nothing starts syncing (calendar, contacts, e-mails,etc.). I watch task-manager but nothing kicks in. Previously with my S100, mapisp32.exe always kicked in and was the magic component between outlook and groupwise. With AS 4.1 everything is dead in task-mgr. I also receive the 85010014-error message sometimes.
Have uninstalled AS 4.1 several times, cleaned out registry of AS keys, rebooted, installed AS again, reinstalled outlook, turned firewall off, turned antivirus off, soft-reseted my qtek, and so on. Have downloaded the swedish version of AS 4.1, since my Qtek has swedish language, and thought that was the reason. But no. Soon out of options and ready to take my new qtek back to the dealer.
Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.
thx in advance.

One thing you should try before sending your device in is to try sycnching up on a clean machine, i.e. (a freshly imaged machine)
I'm assuming initiating a manual sync does nothing?

No, manual sync does nothing.
If I can't find any solution before mid-next-week, I will find a workstation at work and load only the minimal components/applications needed and try to nail down the issue, as a last try. I work with IT myself so I'm not keen to reimage my laptop, there are just too many things to reinstall.
thanks for the advice!

Active Sync Sync via USB Resolved (well for me anyway)
Over the last month I have not been able to sync my Wizard to my laptop via USB. Via bluetooth worked a treat, but I was not able to upgrade ROM via btooth.
This morning, completely by accident I resolved the issue with USB sync'ing to Active sync 4.1.
This works for me:
1. Connect Wizard to laptop via USB (you will get the usual problem, with ActiveSync saying "Connecting" and nothing else
2. Whilst phone is still connected via USB perform soft reset on phone
3. The laptop system tray should display "Found new USB device" and then say "Pocket PC USB Sync found"
4. When the laptop / pc has finished installing software and displays "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use" Disconnect the USB cable from your Wizard.
5. Wait a couple of seconds and then reconnect your Wizard via USB and hopefully it will work.
Please let me know if this works for anyone else!
One more thing you could try before throwing it back at the salesman is to check your network connections.
Go to Control Panel and select network connections - make sure you are set to view details and look for the "Local Area Connection" that has a description of "Windows Mobile-based Device". On mine it is "Local Area Connection 3". You may have to scroll to the right to see the description.
Right click the relevant connection and then click "properties". Make sure that the following entries ONLY have a tick next to them.
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
For some reason on mine none of them were initially selected :?
Click OK, when I did this it started syncing straight away!
Good luck!
I am also having a problem with activesync 4.1, up until now i have been able to sync perfectly via bluetooth or usb. However now when i try and sync activesync on my PC says connecting and nothing happens!!
I have tried everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed on my laptop (same problem)....
Given i have the same problem on 2 different PC's i am starting to think that its actually the Mini S and not the PC thats the problem. I feel a hard reset coming.............

Hard reset has done the trick, so it turns out all problems may not be down to our pc's......
The same thing happens for me sometimes. What I have found ou this helps.
Unplug pda from sync cable. Kill all active programs on the pda. Plug in sync cable again. Viola! It syncs.
I have the same trouble, activesync just says connecting and thats it, i havent found any particular reason for it. SR does not help, just HR which is kind of overkill. Im really glad for the sprite backup software. I have tried all different things i could think of while i couldnt sync and nothing helped. I have allready about 3 HR after me.
I can't perform a sync. My computer recognizes the new device, but active sync just hangs showing a window stating: "retrieving settings..."
Any ideas as to how to fix active sync?
I already tried uninstalling active sync and performing a hard reset on my Exec, but it still end up with active sync hanging.
I have the same Problem and no Idea what to do...
OK, I was able to sync using BT. Now when I connect my Exec using USB, my Exec still won't sync via USB. I already checked the settings if I had the check mark on syncing via USB and I do. I can access my SD Card via USB, but it still won't allow me to sync via USB. Any ideas?
I know I am missing a setting somewhere. Hmmmmm.
OK, another update guys, it seems that active sync allows me to install programs without syncing, so to me this is no hindrance, as long as I can access my SD Card and install applications via USB, it's good enough for me. I guess if I want to sync I just have to use BT. But any solutions on your part is also appreciated.
Hi,
somteimes that's an issue related to firewall or antivirus.
If you're using Sygate or Kaspersky that could happen.
If you use Sygate there's a file in Buzzdev.net to solve the issue.
Hope to be helpful

I don't use Sygate. I do have System Suite with NetDefense Firewall. I'll try and disable my firewall to check if that is what causing me to unable to sync via USB. But how come it allows me to access my SD Card and insatall applications if my firewall is blocking active sync. Shouldn't it be blocking all functions of active sync? I'll post my update once I disable my firewall. Thanks durius.
Hi, it's not the firewall.
BUMP,
I still have this problem.
I had the same problem
1. no Activesync exept the first time
2 no Mailsynch via wireless
3 MSN messenger wouldn't log in
I did a hard reset with the same rom and voila
everything works now.
I jus deleted the wireless remove cab from the xtended rom before the hard reset as i wanted the Wireless Today item back
I also had problems with new Rom , installed ActiveSync 4.1 ,big mistake. Rolled back to 4.0 and now all perfect.

Hi,
I had same problem too after installing i-mate ROM - Activesync just kept saying 'Connecting...'. I went into Device Manager, disabled the Windows Mobile card within network cards, checked for updated drivers (it didn't find any so assume this step is irrelevant) then re-enabled the network card and it all worked like a dream.
Hope this helps.

I had this same issue, drove me crazy. I managed to fix it, but I'm about to be really unhelpful as I din't fix it in a particularly scientific manner.
I was so annoyed that I did the following 3 things, in this order
1 - Went to Device Manager and unistalled Windows Mobile device #X
2 - Uninstalled Activesync build 4.1.41xx, went into \windows\system32 and deleted rapi.dll, then reinstalled version 4.1.40xx something or other
3 - Turned off my firewall
I then managed to sync the phone again, turned the firewall back on. It now syncs fine, but I do still get the msg on the PPC saying "unable to get an IP address"
I sync with two PCs, my home machine and a work laptop. I don't know if maybe I was running two different versions of activesync, but I was able to sync with the laptop even while this was going on.
From what stevegiraffes says, it appears that it was actually step 1 above that fixed the issue. The strange thing was that my PPC device name had been M5000, but after managing to get the damn thing to sync at home it became WM_Ownername again; minor point.
Very odd, but major panic now over
Happy Pi day everyone!

I stand corrected. It was Windows Firewall that caused the problem. I tried disabling both my firewalls again and it worked. Thanks!
Thanks to everyone that responded. I tried all your suggestions, but in the end it was the FIREWALL after all. I am glad this was over.
Hi all.
I had ActiveSync setup back in California on my computer, but now that I am at my parents place and have been trying to setup activesync on there computer to sync with my mda.
I had no problems back in Cali, but now when I load ActiveSync and connect the device, etc. it says that device is not connected and therefore I cannot sync. When I plug the device the computer recongizes that there is a windows mobile device, and ActiveSync tries to connect but with no success.
Does anybody know what I should do to fix this problem? I've searched and haven't really found anything specific to my problems, and I really need to be able to sync my mda for I won't be going back to my computer for a while.
Thanx alot
peter
I'd suspect a firewall issue. Use this guide from Microsoft to troubleshoot ActiveSync 4.0/4.1/4.2 USB Connection Troubleshooting Guide
Good luck!
I've already troubleshooted, and we're talking about the firewall for my internet, right? Because if thats the case I've already disabled the firewall for all of my connections. Would there be other types of firewall that I should be aware of?
*I've tried it on another computer in the house, and I get the same problem. It recongizes a windows mobile device is connected, but it won't pick up the usb connection through activesync.
Thanx again
I am having the EXACT same problem... Does anyone know how to fix it???

well im still having this problem, so if anybody knows who how to fix it im in need of help.
btw... i haven't upgraded my rom yet.
thanx alot
try file/delete mobile device in activesync and see if it still does it.
Anymore tips??? I havent been able to sync for 2 weeks now!!!!!!!!!
I am having the same problem with my MDA. My 8125 never had this problem its quite the PITA.
May not help...
You may have already tried all this...
First, don't use Activesync 4.2. Uninstall it, reboot, and install 4.1. I couldn't get sync with two PCs with 4.2. Removing it is a nuisance since it starts automatically and doesn't have an off selection; I use activesynctoggle.exe to turn it off. I keep activesync around since activesync problems sometimes can be fixed by turning it off and on again.
Second, if you are running zonealarm or another firewall, the procedure for permitting sync is more complicated; see e.g.
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/ZA.html
Third, remove the connection from the PC (on activesync, File/Remove Connections) and from the PPC (run activesync when not connected and remove), remove activesync from the PC and reinstall, and start fresh. Use a USB cable and don't mess with Bluetooth -- it is *much* more sensitive, as I found out painfully.
Good luck. It is really amazing that microsoft can't make software that syncs two microsoft operating systems, when Palm can make software that syncs windows with the palm OS reliably. Activesync is one of the worst programs I have ever encountered, and the release of 4.2, which seems to work less well than 4.1, is astounding.
Well my device stopped recognizinig my sim car yesterday so my device is worthless.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING THAT CAN HELP!!!!?!?!?! I HAVENT SYNCED IN 25 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
A little more info please. Saying you have the exact same problem isn't enough! (trust me, no two people or computers have the same problems, exactly)
Please post what you're doing, AS version, ROM version... actually anything that might help us possibly help you.

I have had a similar problem and solved it with those procedures. Activesync is unreasonably sensitive and sometimes removing the program and connection and starting over seems necessary; then it will work until some setting or other gets messed up.
I'm having a similar issue but when I connect my T-Mobile Vario II (HTC Hermes) it starts the process but as soon as it's about to start syncing my PC reboots. I've just got a new laptop and it syncs fine. I've been using ActiveSync for many years and this is the first time I've had this issue. I've also got an Orange SPV C500 (can't remember which HTC device that is) but it's a smartphone and it still syncs fine.
I don't have any software firewall enabled as I'm behind a hardware one. I've looked round the web but no-one seems to have this issue that the system reboots.
Any ideas? I've re-installed ActiveSync, I've not tried removing the partnerships off the device yet but I don't think it's even created on. I've tried repairing Outlook but that didn't help. I may try re-installing Outlook but that is a bit of a last resort.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.
I also had a no connection when I first connect to new computer....
Check the network connections, there should be a new network connection created for the computer/pda, check the properties and make sure all checkboxes are selected.
Mine wasn't ticked in the beginning, and was able to sync after I selected all the boxes...

Windows XP has an event viewer (Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Event Viewer) that can probably tell you what took down your system. That would help isolate the problem - maybe.
Nothing so far... Does anyone else have any tips...
I am having a problem syncing with activesync, and i must think the problem is due to a drop i had the other day. It made the miniUSB port...smaller seemingly, although the cable still fits in (be it very snugly now). i can still charge it in the wall, and it shows "connected" on activesync when plugged into the pc and the amber light comes on every time. However activesync quickly gives me a message that "synchronization cannot be completed successfully, please remove device and try again or open the troubleshooter"
I'm not sure if i should just start to look for a different way to back up files via PIM or others and move on without activesync ...flash using microSD from now on? consider replacing the port (not even sure how much effort that is, or if it's possible yet)
Or is there anything simple i can try that i haven't done yet? TIA
EDIT: I Have tried unistalling and reinstalling Activesync and even dl'd latest version of AS again
How about deleting the sync partnership with ActiveSync, reestablishing the partnership and then seeing if you are able to sync?
have you tried syncing via bluetooth, then at least you would know its the usb port that is the problem, you say the connection is tight when you insert the cable, are you sure that nothing else is lodged in there when you dropped it?
well, it doesn't look like there's anything in there from what i can tell...the metal actually looks bent or mangled just a bit. Unfortunately my lappy does not have BT, so i can't try that. good thought though
Well if i was you i would invest in a bluetooth dongle for your laptop ,that way you should still be able to sync, and flash via sd card. That way you will have the problem sorted to a degree. Have you tried flashing another rom via cable btw. You say it connects via active sync. I would do a backup using spb backup or something similar and reflash the device and see if that fixes the sync issue. Try a cooked rom first, if that doesnt work try an original rom.
The only reason i mention the cooked rom to flash first is that it is quicker
I've had the same problem where active sync wasn't recognizing my phone.....that is until I soft reset'd my phone while still connected to pc...usually works for me.
another solution..on phone goto:
Settings->Connections->USB-to-PC->Advanced Network Functionality
on... I turned it off. I haven't had a random disconnect, nor PC crash.
A soft reset did the trick for me.

If you have a card reader, copy this - http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe - onto the phone and run it there. It works every time my phone decides to stop talking to the PC.

Hi,
I am having a strange problem with Active Sync.
When I plug in my mobile with USB and use active sync. it does not synchornise.
I have tried all the options liek chaning schedule, changing the settings and diabling advanced network functionality still I am not able to make the diamond synchronise.
Finally, I download the active sync. 4.5 even then my problem remains the same.
It always shows the message "connected" and fails to synchronise.
thanks for any help..

I had the same error.
Solution:
Just add this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"WCESMGR Windowplacement"="0,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,0,0,0,0"
in windows xp registry.
Error is no longer appeared when I connect t32 (WM6) with my pc.
Doing both things in post #6 worked for my TyTN. This trouble started only after I plugged my phone into a Vista laptop to use it as a modem. Gotta love Vista.... (smile)
Thank you for the help, and thank goodness for this forum!

try pluggin your mobile directly into a usb port on the back of your pc and not through a hub
mine did this now it works 100% of the time
