question? i don't know much about tcp/ip, etc. yesterday, my 8125 would not sync with my laptop, i was getting the infamous support code. when i first installed activesynce i had no problems. this problem after i installed the orb.com software on my laptop. could this be the culprit or was it just that i got lucky installing activesync the first time? i would like to use orb again but don't want to go through the hassle of getting activesync to work again. thanks.
I'm using Orb with no problem
Probably not Orb. Been using Orb for months with no problems.

Available... still no wifi sync...
Has anyone tried it yet?
Yes and its made no difference to my activesync issues...
I can't see any other obvious changes...
Yes, the same sh ....
I wait for the final german release, and i've never had problems with AS 4.1 (except the bluescreen problem caused by Kaspersky).
Definate improvement for me, I had problems where I couldn't sync using USB when I'm connected to the work VPN. AS would keep spinning and connecting, and the VPN connection would die. Only way for me to sync was to use IrDa. Now, with AS4.2 USB sync works fine. (At last)

Anyone here with a Logitech DiNovo Keyboard set? I've been having problems since v.3.8 of activesync in that the setpoint software and active sync conflict causing the current active windows to loose focus for one second every 7seconds.
Very irritating. Has this version solved the problem? Logitech doesn't want to claim responsibility for the problem. Neither does microsoft

Jorgee, I've got the set above.
If I install the MS Bluetooth option for the Logitech and use AS bluetooth, it works fine.
If I use the Widcomm BT for the Logitech, no connection.
I had AS (using BT or USB) steal focus every 4 seconds IF Outlook wasn't open - as soon as I open Outlook (I'm using 2003), no further problems.
It appears to be an issue with AS and Outlook.
I'm not sure if this is of any use to you, but you never know...

I will try what you said. As a fix what I would do is open taskmanager and terminate the setpoint process. this corrects it but ofcourse I loose setpoint functionality.
1 question. What do you mean by "ms bluetooth option" and "widcomm"? do I get to choose from the 2 during installation? how do you recommend * proceed. I might just format my Pc over the weekend so this is the perfect oportunity.
ActiveSync dosnt work for me
Hiya Guts
Can anyone help.
I got my XDA Exec last week and tried installing ActiveSync but to no avail does it detect my PDA. Actually it worked once.
I decided to install the latest version 4.2 but still nothing. I installed and removed over a dozen time, rebooted pc and nothing. I followed instructions to add profiles to my firewall and still nothing.
I dont know what else to do. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Are you using any firewall software... or inparticular Norton Applications??? If so, try disabling it (but stay offline if ya worried), and then connecting, if this fixes your problem there is a bit on the M$ website (there are sometimes bits of use there...) I found that helped when sorting me mates Exec out... I'll dig that up
And I found 4.2 a lot better than 4.1, it's a lot faster to sync the calendar and e-mail files! :-D
Works w/o any problems
All settings were taken over from 4.1
Cheers

Connect your Exec, load up Activesync
Click on Explore, you'll be taken to the My Documents on your Main Memory, drag drop there, or in My Pictures... or explore the device and create a folder in your Storage Card and dump them there...

I have the exact same problem. Interestingly I am using Setpoint software too with my Logitech mx610 mouse which is cordless (2,4 Ghz i believe) and use a seperate dongle my Bluetooth which is a Jabra A320s dongle.
If Outlook is not open i lose focus every 4-5 seconds and then get it back. Interestingly I only noticed today and I am sure i have used BT activesync and this mouse at the same time before without Outlook being open. Frickin odd...and highly annoying.
hi
i just got my spv m600 and i cant seem to get it recognised, im running xp and grabbed and installed the latest activesync, it just doesnt seem to want to play ball, i really want to install pocket msn.. Im using the mini usb cable
plz help
thanks
uh oh here we go again
seems like you're bugged with the dreaded "can't sync over cable" syndrome.
there are various posts and forums dedicated to just this problem.
(http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm)
personally, nothing worked for me, so I just sync over bluetooth and transfer large files over wifi or directly on the sd card using a card reader.
good luck!
Hi
It seems to be solved now i was using 3.7, so i uninstalled and used the 4.2 beta from microsoft, all seems ok now apart from it wont sync with outlook, buts thtas cool, i only really wanted to be able to run programs and trandfer data..
Maybe give the 4.2 beta a go yourself...
Peace
3.7 does not support WM5, so there is no way you can get it to work. 4.1 works, and I guess 4.2 beta.
attached a utility HTC Usbswitch
this alows you to switch between RDNIS and Serial connection
if you are unable to sync using the NEW RDNIS connection then simply run the utility and switch to SERIAL and it will then connect and sync
i have to use it, as firewalls and encryption setting can prevent the new method working
OK. I have been reading for over two months now and this is the 1st time I post. After upgrading Active Syn to 4.5 Build 5059 Beta like many of you did, the Setup Wizard pops up each time I connect the phone to the PC. Do I have to go through the setup again? According to the Wizard, it says the unit still syncs even if I don't do the setup. How do I stop the Wizard from popping up every time?
No one can help?
sorry to tell you but cus its a beta, you may not find many people that have it working yet, as me!!! I am using vista and i can not have it yet cus the mobile part is not out yet for us!!!

There's your answer.
Microsoft Beta
It isn't just a beta, it is a microsoft beta. Microsoft beta's are other company's alphas. Microsoft seems willing to release products that don't work for several versions and activesync is a good example.
I had trouble with activesync 4.1 over bluetooth; finally gave up and just used the USB cable. When 4.2 came out, I thought I would try it with bluetooth again -- perhaps they had the bugs out. But I couldn't get 4.2 to work reliably over the USB cable, much less bluetooth. In the end I uninstalled (a job made challenging because you have to kill the program to turn it off) 4.2 and reinstalled 4.1. This board abounds with activesync connection problems, which is pretty strange when you consider that activesync connects two microsoft OS's.
Hi, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have faria's WM6 rom version 5.2.318 installed on my 8125. When I try to connect to my pc via the bluetooth, the pda doesn't see any services on my computer. The computer also does not see any services on my pda. The computer is running vista x64. I am using the default microsoft bluetooth stack with a silicon wave bt usb dongle. I was hoping to sync via the bluetooth and maybe use the pan features, but no services show up. My pc can see my 8125 and my 8125 can see my pc. They connect to one another, but like I said, there are no services... I tried going back to the t-mobile 2.26 rom and even back to my original cingular rom, but still no luck. I assume this issue is on my PC side, but I was hoping maybe one of you knew what the issue might be. If I posting in the wrong area, please delete my thread. Thanks for the Help!
I know it has been a long time but did you ever figure out your issues? Was it just with the ROM or did you ever get BT working with Vista and Sync?
Hi!
I'm new to Universal, but I'm getting along with most of the features.
The only problem is: I cannot sync using WM6.
The problem:
I plug the USB in, the PDA connects, Activesync (on PC) starts and setting up itself... and stuck! When I check the AS on my Universal, it says:
"To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC:"
And then something about Exchange Sync.
The connection is OK, the device gets IP, and so on.
I installed the original (4.1) AS, but (no surprise) it cannot sync with WM6.
Must I revert to WM5? I don't want to...
Anyone any sollution?
Install Version 4.5 of ActiveSync! Only this one is able to sync with WM6!
Look here!
Sorry, I didn't emphasize that I have AS 4.5 installed.
This way goes the message like I wrote.
So thank you for your reply, but sadly, this is not the sollution.
(I installed/uninstalled AS several times in the last two days... But for WM6 4.1 isn't good, for 4.5 it says use the GS Disc... The only way out (as I think) is to go back to WM5 to use 4.1... But that way I will miss some new stuff from Crossbow.)
Almost solved
Hope somebody still reading or finding this topic.
What I discovered that the error message mentioned was not because of the wrong ActiveSync version. It was because the AS on the PDA cannot communicate with the AS on PC. I explain. I flashed WM5 back and installed AS 4.1, but the error message was still there. But the text went like "install ActiveSync on PC..." So it connects, gets IP, but cannot see that AS is installed. And the sollution?
Bluetooth sync
Yeah, AS over BT works. Connects, syncs without problem. I think I'll have to stick to that option.
Why doesn't it work over USB?
Switched the cable -> still no luck. Tried WM5torage with USB -> it works!
So it looks like it's a software problem, just a rare case (?). I'll work with the troubleshooter later, until than: BT.
Good day to all.

in your first post you said you cannot sync at all using wm6... and then in the next post you said you can sync using bluetooth... seems like you already found the solution to your problem... use BT...
just a thought though... if BT sync is really working and usb is not.... then there's a problem with your cord... otherwise, its the software.... its either activesync version... or a firewall is blocking a port that prevents the sync during usb connection
Thanks for reply.
I tried swithing the cable (so use another miniUSB) but that's not a problem. And WM5torage works, so...
Firewall could be wrong, but I don't have problems with other PDAs, so I think it is other software...
Anyway, yes, the sollution for me is BT. I use it since than, but until I realised that only USB is not working... I spent days with this, just because before the first succesful sync, AS only tells you: "use the AS from the CD..."
It should say: "Connected, but cannot sync. The problem COULD BE wrong AS version..."
So yeah, BT rox...
