'm not sure if I have a problem with Activesync because I have installed pocket weather and although it displays on my front today screen, it's blank, it just says no weather data available.
It has not appeared in the list of options to sync and the other thing that's odd, when I click on 'file' and 'connection settings' in Active sync, nothing happens, nothing comes up?
I had 'worldmate' on my old XDA and I tried that on this one and had the same proble so that makes me think it's Active sync.
I have 4.2 but I have also tried 3.8 and 4.0 with the same issue?
Any ideas on this one?

Today my ActiveSync connection stopped working.
It tries to connect for a while then it comes up with "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. ..."
WM5torage works, so does pinging the Wizard.
Things I tried:
-Using the repair option from Active Sync setup
-Reverting the Wizard to a 3 day old backup made with SPB
Nothing worked :-(
What else (other than a hard reset) could I try?
See below for solution. And don't touch the notification queue if you don't know what you're doing
check if you firewall is blocking the activesync connection
if this is not the case ... good luck
try reinstalling activesync..
or get the latest one..
Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Activesync gone mad
I am having the same problem with activesync not actually syncing my contacts and calender despite making all the noises I usually associate with a successful sync. My contacts are not updated and my calender has none of the appointments from outlook uploaded to it.
I have done a soft reset. a hard reset, gone back to activesync 4.2 and nothing works. I have also tried the usb switch that is mentioned elsewhere and no joy. I have other ppc's running PPC2003 and these are fine and update almost immediately, its only my xda mini s that is being a sod. I never had a problem before activesync 4 and several other machines before the mini s. I should also mention that my outlook files are fine and work on all other machines.
It is bad business that the world is becoming dependant on such bad software as this. It is not progress to make things worse and Mr Gates should be held to task for the problems caused from forcing us onto unreliable software in the name of progress. I was happy enough on activesync 3.8 and WM2003 and never had problems.
Please, Please someone give me an answer before hammer and xda meet in heated discussion.
I have the same problem with my MDA and both my PC and Laptop. I have been trying to resolve this problem for months. It is unbelievable that it is so hard to resolve this issue. I have been posting on this forum and on others and still am looking for a resolution. Maybe someday, someone will resolve this issue. Thanks for your postings and help in trying to resolve this issue. Frustrated beyond belief.
Sorry, this did not work either: Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Update to previous
Just an update. I have tried this on another machine using the pst file from my machine and it syncs fine. Clearly, there is some problem on my machine with my software.
I have also removed outlook and reinstalled it. Also removed all profiles on main machine. At present, my calendar will sync but my contacts will not. Outlook tests say there is nothing wrong. Short of a complete software install I can not see another way to cure this other than the big hammer.
Go figure.
p.s.
If I had a hammer and Mr Gates was in front of me I would not be held responsible for my actions.
I found a corporate firewall that was preventing sync, I have to shut down the service and then it worked. Strangly, it would sync over bluetooth without stopping the service. A bit OT, but I can't seem to browse while synced. It asks for proxy info which I type in but it says bad user name/password. I KNOW I'm putting in the right proxy info (it defaulted it from my PC which browses fine) and correct user name/pw/domain. Any ideas?
FIXED
No firewall, no ActiveSync, no connection problems at all.
Fixed it by reverting my database to a backup.
When i had the well known alarm clock troubles i accidentially (= out of ignorance) deleted the whole notification queue.
Word of advice: Don't do that, it'll screw everything up

1. What is the purpose of the Notification queue?
2.What does it have to do with ActiveSync connectivity?
3.How is Notification queue set to make AS work?
Still cannot resolve my connectivity problem with my MDA. Thanks in advance.

Manages the Operating System's list of scheduled actions.

Still have no idea of how to get this back inot Notification queue.

Still looking for some help on this.

Is this related to the inability to pass-through browse while on activesync? I am able to sync fine, but when I try to browse I get an error saying bad proxy info (which I've check 1000 times). Or sometimes when I'm messing around with the settings I get a "lost connection" message rather than the invalid login/password. So frustrating! Will switching to the serial type of connection help me?
ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!
Has anybody had the following problem.. and ofcourse, a solution:
I've come to accept Windows Live syncing my contacts on the phone and making a mess with the others. I ended up consolidating with duplicates.
My problem is that I have fully added my contacts again to Messenger and at first everything works fine. I sync with activesync and everything goes well. The issue begins when I soft reset. After I do, Windows live now begins not being able to sync my contacts. It always gives me an error. To make it worse, my contacts are still in the messenger, but they never appear online. People can see me and message me, and I can answer, but I don't see anybody online as I did before I softreset. I can imagine I don't see them because they don't sync. I set sync settings for "as they arrive" for my mail to work like if it were pushed.
Anybody know why that happens? Trust me, I've hardreseted like crazy, I even created a new account and added everybody from scratch and it still happens.
I use the new WM6 update for an unbranded HTC p4350 in Spanish.
Thanks.
Did you regedit and hide SIM contacts... I have the same problem with Windows Live Contacts and I guess it's because that registry modification, so I'm trying to restore that key to show/UNhide SIM contacts...
...updates next...
Updates... It' an issue related to the HTC 3 button Plugin... if you disable it from Settings tab you will see all contacts...
Now I'm trying to enable again the Plugin...
...updates caming next...
Didn't work
Hey.. thanks for your help but none worked.
I haven't touched the registry in what pertains to windows live. Every time I try to sync it tells me it failed to start syncing the congacts.
What I dont understand is why, if I errase the account and sign in again, I do get to see them; but once I softreset, though they are still there, they all appear offline. They can see me but I cant
Thkz
Now I am OK and Windwos Live works fine (sync and online contacts).
1)I disable the 3 Button Home Plugin.
2) restart the phone and it boots correctly without the Plugin activated. I connect via WI-Fi to Windows Live and it works correctly.
3) re-enable the 3 Button Plugin and all things still work.
I dunno why but after this it's ok...
Updates: It worked but this is not the solution...
I'm trying find the core of the problem...
...updates coming next...
Erase all things I wrote before (sorry but I was testing...)
Searching in google I found many people with this problem (WM6 + Windows Live).
Right now the only real thing to do is a work around. From Windows Live you have to tap on Menu, then on Account Options then choose "Change Account" and reconfigure it anytime you Soft Reset your Herald...
I know it is not a solution, but in this way it works...
I've had this come up a couple of times - major PITA - where you have to do a manual reset of AS - loosing updated information from the previous update. I googled that error and searched for it here, but found nothing helpful and no mention of it in the forums here. Anyone have this before or know if there's a way to fix it? I'm running g4 with the tnt 4 or 1537 (?)
Anyone? Bump!
happens to me too
it's sooooo obnoxious. I havent been able to find a pattern yet. It just randomly seems to give me that error. I'm using the htc kaiser w/ wm6. i do sync my pda between my laptop and my desktop. I've done that before with my htc blue angel and never had any problems with it.
it seems to happen at least once a week. the annoying part about it for me is that I have to delete all of my calendar items, contacts, and tasks on my laptop's outlook so I can sync them.
I don't have that problem anymore - and not sure why. I've switched roms so many times I think it might have been related to the rom - or maybe even the dst updates.
Work around
According some microsoft posts (users, nothing official) this is caused by syncing email containing sub-folders. I haven't tested other than to stop syncing emails. It works fine if I don't sync Emails.
Good luck!
I've seen a lot of ActiveSync errors (I hope that's what you're talking about, or I'm going to sound very off-topic). Use DotFred's Task Manager to remove all duplicate notifications from your device. 9 of 10 times, this will resolve ActiveSync errors.
I bet you're right. I think it has something to do with snoozing reminders on the pda and the pc and them getting out of sync...
Solved... no
I red that if you dont sync email it will work - i tried:
While geting errormessage i vent to activ sync and disabled syncing of mail. After that i start synking. This sync ended up doing a resync, wich means tatt all voice commands and keyboard shortcuts went directly in toilet.
I will keep this setting for a while and se of error comes back.
Please keep positing possible solutions, this sync error is SO frustrating
its the same with me here...
it does anoy me so bloody much...
i will deselect email as well. lets see
resync everything again, cvause something on the server has changed... thats always the message...
it sux!!!!

Just got my HD and one thing I have noticed is active sync seems to be trying (every few minutes) to make a connection to/synching with something as I noticed upon checking the "quick menu" in the top right hand corner that Active Sync is listed in the quick menu, if I then close it by clicking the "x" it clears from the list. I then check it again a few minutes later and it's back in the quick menu again??
So it seems to keep opening up and running in the background, for some reason, is this "how it is" or is there a way to stop this?
I haven't setup active sync to connect/sync with anything it’s just as it came out the box?
Any help appreciated, not really a problem as such but not really much point in it continually trying to sync when it has nothing to sync with??
I'havent received my HTC HD yet, but on my FSC loox N560 PDA the situation with ActiveSync is the same. It always opens in the background no matter how many times you shut it down. Unfortunately I think that's just the way it is...
I don't know if this is the correct forum for my problem, if not please don't flame me
I've been looking all over the web, but haven't been able to find a sollution to my syncing issue. This issue didn't occur on my Diamond 2, Touch Dual or any other phone. Don't think it's a HD2 issue though...
When my HD2 is connected to my laptop via the desktop cradle, it of course syncs with my Outlook 2010 (beta testing).
Everything syncs very well, except for one thing which is really annoying.
It just keeps on syncing and syncing the calendar with 1 error, over and over again and again... (you get the picture)
When I open Outlook to see what it's having trouble syncing, it looks like it's trying to insert a "half hour appointment" during "today" with no name, content or anything. It keeps inserting it, and then removing it, and inserting it, and removing it, and inserting it and so forth...
Does anyone have this issue, or hopefully a sollution!?
EDIT
Installed applications that are using the .pst calendar file from Outlook:
- Rainlendar
- WMDC
- DeskTasks
Here is what I've tried:
Reinstalled WMDC...
Reinstalled Windows Mobile Device driver...
Deleted the partnership and then made a new one...
Deleted the syncing-tasks (calendar, notes and so forth) and then set them up again...
Banged my head on my desk...
Chewed a corner off of my keyboard...
PS: I've tried to "catch it" with a screenshot, but it's only in my calendar for a split second.
Hmmm...
Apparently there is also an entry it can't sync.
The entry is from a former installation of Manilla Birthday, but it's no longer in the calendar. Wonder how I'm supposed to delete it, when I can't see it...!?
Anyone got some input on this?
Would be much appriciated
