O yeah, i like this program that dopod uses, "usb switch" cause it seems that when in serial mode it sync better and connect faster unlike in RNDIS mode. is there anyway to make it permanently in serial mode?

Is there a way to do this?

I don't recommend doing this, so do a backup first because it can be a pain to undo. Let me know if it works or not.

Vijay.
I have one instance of USB switch installed.
It temporarily sets the switch to Serial but needs to be re-set after every soft reset.
Does this version make it permanent?

This is no different to the version I had installed beforehand.

???????????????????????????????????????

No idea - it's pulled out of the Tornado rom. I used it once, it screwed my activesync, I never used it again.
I can't really see the benefit of the idea though. RNDIS works well, when it works.
If there's a registry setting that it forces (which it probably does), you could extract it and I could make you a program to make it a permanent setting. But, I'm not trying the program again as it is, because of my previous bad experiences with it.

Exactly, as you say 'when it works' since i installed a new wifi card and started using higher encryption RNDIS no longer works
so the benifit is the fact that i can actually sync with my laptop, which previously i had to either do it server based, of fire up my desktop pc (which i dont really use anymore)
i have had a good search through the registry and not managed to find a key that will permanently set to serial mode

Yes!!! i was having problem with activesync too and this USB Switch solved the problem for me! thanks!!!

Is there anything to do on the computer to get this working?
After I switched my Qtek S200 to serial, a new peripheral was detected... but nothing new with activesync... no sync at all…
In RNDIS mode, it syncs correctly with outlook, but not with my exchange server… and I can not surf the net while connected to usb…

In HLM/Drivers/USB/FunctionDrivers you can find the "DefaultClientDriver = RNDIS". I think here you can change the default setting. (Not tested ...)

Add / Remove Programs Prob.

Help!!! All the programs in my add and remove program list has dissappeared. I can't uninstall any programs. Any suggestions?

hey bud i have the same problem if anyone can shed some light on this please do i know its happended to me where every i have it connected to pc with active sync and try to install programs then active sync wont find my unit so any help will do

Hmm, you guys can try to use SKTools to see if it see your installed files. Just download the trial version, if it works, but it, trust me. Memaid have the unistall feature also.

I had this problem once on when I had my 8125. It was from installing a program onto my 8125 and the computer froze. I unplugged the USB cord and reboot the computer. After that the 8125 couldn't install or remove any programs (Nothing in the remove section).
A hard reset cured it.

Unfortunately, SKTools' trial mode is pretty useless. Nevertheless, it's one of the very few apps that worth every penny - that is, you all can safely buy it, you won't regret your choice.

More Probs.

Just noticed I'm having the same prob. Mine won't even sync with outlook so i can save my contacts. Any Suggestions? And I'm not sure how to do a hard reset.

I tested it with some numbers, but no luck. Too bad

Even if You kill activesync after disconnect (I'm using quickmenu to do this) after some minutes activesync starts again.
Anyone has a solution for this?
bye

Crash - Try this:

AppSentry
AppSentry was made just for this reason. It can kill activesync and other apps on a regular basis. The link is in my signature.
It doesn't require you to run it, it runs itself. And it does not run in background so takes no memeory when it is not running.

solution?
ASyncKiller
This application allows to kill the ActiveSync process when it's in idle state but it just hold in memory...

I have the same on my old device, Mitac Mio A701. This is probably normal for Windows mobile device. Check out this thread too. there are solutions for this...

the most simple and elegant solution:
just add activesync to exclusive list in the task manager...
1. when you'll check and get activesync on (uninvited)
2. go to task manager.
3. Click and hold on the word Activesync and then select from the pop-up "add to exclusive".
4. go to exclusive tab and thick activesync (repllog.exe).
done. worked for me many times (many ROMs)
i've tried this one (thanks to KukurikU) ...and so far so good.
i think its still running in the backround somewhere but i can't see it.
will try the other ones suggested...for a permanent fix later
cheers

yes you are right, you only prevented the application UI from running, the processes that's related to activesync are still running. there are several of them, so you may only have killed 1 or 2.
i don't understand why you want to kill activesync permanently. how do you sync your contacts and calendars and all that? :S

Help:(

well...as the title already indicates, I am currently locked out of my Touch HD. For some reason throttle lock has picked a pattern after installing version 0.5 which is not similar to the one that I was using. An obvious solution would be to delete lockcode.txt by using ActiveSync, I am familiar with this method. The problem however is that the last time I hooked my phone to my laptop it was set to DISKDRIVE which does not let me enter the phone memory. So my question was if I could maybe force ActiveSync to start somehow, or overwrite throttle lock of if there is an other solution for my problem...
I really don't know what to do anymore and I actually don't want to perform a hard reset. Please help xda
kind regards

maybe to install another sync software?? just guessing.. I don't know...

Okay my friend, Here's the solution
remove your mem stick. then the diskdrive mode is disabled and ActiveSync automatically chosen.
