For some reason when I plug my Atom Exec into a machine it Activesyncs ( with appropriate noise ) every 5 minutes.
This isn't too much of a hassle I can turn the activesync notification sound off
Should this happen however.
i've narrowed it down to a line in the notification queues that says:
repllog /sched /remote /h
which is 5 minutes after connecting to an activesync session.
If I delete this , it comes back next activesync.
Am I worried about nothing or.......
Stopping WM5 Activesync 4.x Five Minute Sync Interval and Constant Wakeups
The whole idea of ActiveSyncing is that it will run whenever you have your Windows Mobile device connected, whether it's a Pocket PC or a Smartphone. There's a way to do what you want, but keep in mind you're going to have to manually turn ActiveSyncing on and off every time, as it goes against what the developers of this application want.
It's probably not the best solution for this problem, but it was quick, easy, and free
Step-By-Step Instructions
-------------------------
Open the ActiveSync application, and choose the File drop-down box. Then choose "Connection Settings..."
On the resulting dialog box you'll see a checkbox labeled "Allow USB connections". Remove this check-mark.
The next time you connect your Windows Mobile device, an ActiveSync connection won't be made.
Your handheld or smartphone will still be charging, though -- whether through the USB trickle charge or the power cable into its cradle.
To start an ActiveSync session in the future, just go back in and turn the "Allow USB connections" checkbox back on. You can even do this with the device already plugged in without problems.
Before anyone asks, the "Open ActiveSync when my device connects" option doesn't do the same thing. All this does is prevent an ActiveSync window from appearing on your desktop. The process is still running in the background. The method I described earlier really stops the connection process.
And, as I said, this isn't an ideal solution. Still, it's the best for now..

Here I am, installing 4.1 for a third time....
Why is it so hard to make a stable connection utility? All I get now, no matter what I do re: firewall/connecting while off/rebooting/rerunning AS is "USB Device Not Recognized".
God I hates it.
I take it there is NO alternative to syncing my Outlook 2003 etc?
Yep, it's about as tempremental as a 3 year child.
I find best solution after that error is.
1 disconnect pc and universal
2 reboot both and let them finish starting
3 press power switch on universal to put it to stand by.
4 connect them
5 when universal awakes go to activesync and select sync.
Have you checked your firewall thoroughly?
This drove me crazy until I realized the firewall was blocking connection to the device.
Remember that with stoopid new activesync, which also conveniently removes wifi syncing, you are making a tcp connection to the device that requires a clear path through your firewall.

Was giving error even with firewall temporarily (!) turned off.
All sorted now, uninstall etc...
I gave up on USB and use Bluetooth only (works perfectly)
I gave up on trying to get USB to work with Activesync ... after several hours of frustration. I use the "Connect via Bluetooth" option and it has worked perfectly everytime, which is a great improvement of my XDAII. I hope this helps.
I used the newest german version on buzzdev.net
Connected immediately.
So i think it's the version,
When I have my cingular 8125 connected to my desktop and activesync is running, I can't connect to anything on the internet with my PDA.
I'm accustomed to being able to do that and my previous PDA devices used activesync and the PC's internet connection to do that. Can the 8125 not do that?
Yes, the 8125 and other variants of the Wizard can use ActiveSync's "passthrough" function using port 5721, so it's definitely not exhibiting normal behavior.
ActiveSync is syncing ok? Do you get the two back and forth arrows icon on top (indicating a passthrough connection)? What happens when you try to browse?
I confess I haven't seen this before but I would start by opening a command prompt on your pc. Type the command
telnet 169.254.2.2 5721.
If it returns "Connect failed" you have some software blocking the connection -- possibly firewall since it's the often the culprit in AS connectivity issues, but possibly other sync software, or vpn.
You might try disabling your startup items using msconfig then see if it works -- go to start > run > msconfig.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup, then uncheck the Load Startup Items box. Then click the Services tab, check the box that says Hide All Microsoft services, then disable the remainding services. Reboot.
You'll need to run AS manually once it's booted then see if it will let you use the passthrough connection.
Well, it syncs just fine. It just doesn't get the passthough connection.
The telnet works just fine also.
Interesting. What does it do when you try to browse using the passthrough? Does it try to open a gprs connection instead? Does it give an error message?
It errors out with a message: "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again."
Some more information.
When connected via activesync, I can check email. It's only the pocket IE that can't get to anywhere.
Any ideas?
i'm hating activesync 4.1, it disconnects halfway through a file transfer then renders my device unuseable til i soft reset and makes my pc not shut down without unplugging it :x
Ive done all the firewall settings etc but it still doesnt work properly, i can only stay connected to my pc for about 3 mins.
Guess im gonna have to buy a card reader :roll:

Out of curiousity, are you syncing with bluetooth or USB?
with usb, i also have wifi in the house but it wont log on to that either :roll: it finds it ok (and next doors hehe :twisted: ) but thats as far as it'll go. it wont accept the network password (im using the pkey method)
ive done all the stuff suggested by m$oft but nothing seems to help. it could be an issue with my home network stealing the bandwidth apparently-does this sound right? i never had a problem with my ppc2003 ipaq on active sync 3.8 but now that wont work either without cutting off after 3 mins.
why does m$oft crap never work
When the Wizard is connected and the Activesync box shows on your Computer, when u go to File > Connection settings.
Is the tab "This computer is connected to:"
set to "the internet"
Cuz that was the problem with mine. I set it to internet, and voila!, hello world wide web.
i only want to transfer music+videos+photos etc, not bothered about syncing the other stuff like contacts or using it to go online as im on an unlimited data tariff anyway
I'm having somewhat similar issues to the OP. Activesync Sync's fine, I can transfer files to/from the phone...however Passthrough doesn't work. I've disabled my firewall, and checked and rechecked all the settings on the PC and the Phone with no luck. If anyone has anything to suggest please let me know.

I hope it's ok to ask this question in your thread. It regards activesync and outlook. My problem is that I can not add a calendar event with any text added to the note field on my cell phone (Cingular 8125) and have it sync to Outlook on the PC. I always get an "attention required" message followed by a error code: support code 1.
If I only have a calendar topic and location without any notes, it syncs up fine. Or I can add an event on the PC and have lots of notes and it syncs to the phone just fine...but not vice versa.
Just wondering if any of you have a similar issue - I have Activesync 4.2 and Outlook 2002
Incidentally, I can surf thru my phone when connected usb to my Dell Inspiron notebook.
thanks
so i thought i'd give vista's "windows mobile device center" a try on my vista laptop, and wasn't surprised to find that i couldn't get it to recognize my phone. i was surprised to find that the xp computer that i've been using with activesync for a long time suddenly stopped recognizing my phone as well.
up to now i've hard reset phone (dcd 3.04, 3.37 radio) and reinstalled activesync 4.5. no dice. please if anyone can help me troubleshoot this thing i'd be way grateful. why has my phone stopped communicating with my computers?
For WM 6 devices, on Vista you must upgrade to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.
i downloaded and used 6.1 on my vista machine, but it didn't work. any other ideas? i think there may be something that changed on the phone, because now, activesync won't work either...
...bytheway, the phone will charge when plugged into either, but that's about it.

Just for ****s and giggles, have you tried the following:
1. Using a different usb port
2. Blowing the dust out of the port on the phone
3. Using the Y adapter that came with the phone in between the sync cable and the phone
First, plug into the USB, wait for the Windows new device chime, see if anything occurs in the WM Activesync.. If no Activesync connection is made (after the 'connecting' has stopped) then unplug and plug in back in another USB port. Do that at least 4 times (cycling between ports...even the same may eventually work) to see if you have a success.
Restart your PC, Soft-rest your phone and try again.
If still nothing, then don't bother plugging your phone in and then Run As An Administrator the attached batch file and then under View 'Show Hidden Devices.' You'll now see all devices that have ever been installed and retained for your OS, with the faded devices as those not currently attached/active.
Rather than the batch file you can open up a Command Promp Window with Administrator access (Start\Programs\Accessories\Right Click on Command Prompt and Run As An Administrator)
(I usually keep that batch file accessible in the root of my OS partition, just to keep it easy to clean out legacy device drivers that can cause problems.[/i])
Enter:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc
Uninstall
Network adapters\Microsoft Windows Remote Adapter
Portable Devices\PocketPC
Then under Programs & Settings uninstall the Windows Mobile Device Center upgrade, and then reboot your PC. Reinstal that Device Center 6.1 update and then again connect your phone with the USB. (for the XP machine you can do all of the and unistall/reboot/reinstall the ActiveSync 4.5.
(note to self or another.....these steps to be added to the Wiki for ActiveSyn issues)
well, i'm thinking that the "****s and giggles" have it. i blew into the port, plugged her in, and it connected to my xp machine, just like days of old. after about 3 minutes though, the connection dropped, and i've not been able to get it going again since. i think this rules out any software/settings problem, and looks like it's a hardware issue. i'll try cleaning it one more time a little later, and if no go, i'll have to figure a way to re-flash the stock rom (i only have a 6gb card...) and send the beast back. thanx for the input, guys (specially keystone, dang man that was one badass post with some instructions that will help someone, i'm sure.)
Do you have the Y adapter that came with the phone? The one with the audio jack and the 5 pin mini usb on one end and the 11 pin mini usb on the other? The reason I ask is because for some reason HTC decided to put an 11 pin mini usb connector on our phones, yet supply us with a data cable that's standard 5 pin mini usb. If you have it, just humor me and try it and see if it keeps the connection.
Oh and P.S....the "****s and giggles" wasn't just a shot in the dark. I've solved many activesync problems for people before using all 3.
I actually hadn't used the cord without the Y-adapter untill today. both ways yeild the same result.
Another Activesync problem
I've been on vacation the last week and while away i had to do a clear storage..anyway, my phone was fine but when i connect thru activesync i get an error code : 85010014 and my contacts list doesnt get updated...:S can anyone out there give me some advice or do i hafto start from scratch?

Well the hoop jumping is fun and all but I think if you uncheck the "Enabe advanced network functionality" in Start > Settings > Connection > USB to PC it may help.
Damn! That was simple. I unchecked the "Enabe advanced network functionality" box and I'm up and running! I'll save the hoops for later. Thanks!

Hi, thanks that work for me fine too
my mogul has been giving me crap with vista and xp for weeks. Nothing can solve it. I've re-flashed, downgraded, used different ports, different cables, modified the USB to PC settings.
Add this to the list of things that randomly seem to be a problem for this phone.
I had a similar situation, none of the software based suggestions fixed it. Wiggling the cord around would sometimes connect, but soon thereafter, my phone stopped charging. The USB port was the culprit, so be careful.
I'm sure everyone who was having troubles figured out solutions, just thought I'd add in my dealings with this.
I just had the phone activated today (yes I bought used) and brought it to work to sync with my work outlook, well the usb cord would charge the phone but give me nothing but errors in the way of actual data connection. I was a little bummed this afternoon thinking I bought a partially broken phone. But WHILE HAVING THE PHONE CONNECTED ( I bold because I had done this multiple times while not connected and had no results) I opened the Comm Manager and clicked on the sync button at the bottom, suddenly my computer could recognize my device and I was sync'ing like a mad man.
Very possibly a stupid thing I should have done from the start, but I don't know any better since I'm brand new to all of this. I only post in hopes of helping another bummed out soul as was myself
I an running a HTC TyTN-II 4550 phone (WinMo 6.1) on a desktop PC (WinXP).
I couldn't get Activesync 4.5 to work either, but there were obvious reasons--my version of Office 2000 isn't supported (2003 is the earliest, I think) and IE and Outlook are not set as my default mail clients (-and that's how I like it-).
I didn't really need Activesync but I did want to be able to get files on and off the phone from my desktop PC through the USB cable. When I'd connect the phone, Activesync would automatically start up and spin the little logo for a while and then say "connection couldn't be made" and then I couldn't do anything--even move files on and off the phone.
What I found works is this:
1) open the Task Manager, and kill the wcescomm.exe process.
2) navigate to the folder that Activesync is installed in, and run the file named WCESMgr.exe.
3) that will popup a window, asking if you want to sync, or cancel. Press [cancel]
4) the normal Activesync window will come up, and the choices for "Sync" and "Schedule" will be greyed out, but the "Explore" button should work.
Sometimes I can disconnect and reconnect the phone without going through steps #1-#4, but not always.
With the "Explore" window you can drag files on and off the device.
I tried dragging small Word and Excel docs on and off; both converted properly when dragged onto the phone, but only the Word file would convert again when dragged off.
The phone will access the internet through the USB when hooked up this way, also.
Please help, I have a touch vogue wm6.1 , there is no icon to disconnect actsync as there used to be on wm6, i connect my htc to the pc with a usb cable to do internet sharing, but it starts sync , and I can't find a way to disconnected manually. any solutions please.
than you.
I've been using Killsync: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/killsync.htm for quite a white with no problems at all.
I have it in Quick Launch on my Windows XP computer. Just select and it shuts down Activesync and goes away.
I am usually connected via USB and it is a nuisance to be repeatedly shutting off the Touch.
If you have ActiveSync on your PC, you can choose which files to sync, simply uncheck all of the boxes so that nothing syncs to your computer. This way you do not have to download and install any programs on your vogue.
or go to start, run, type msstartup or msconfig and uncheck the activesync and wescomm and there's another process too, i forget, I'm on win7 now, so Im not quite sure. no need for added programs to take care of disabling the program from the startup list....
Has anyone else had the issue of having to 'toggle' the check box on, off, and back on for the "Allow data connections on device when connected to PC" within windows mobile device center just to allow traffic to pass through?
I have to do this every time I disconnect the Imagio and reconnect it... regardless if windows mobile is running or not.
My situation is even having unchecked "Allow wireless...." on Activesync, whenever I sync the phone it stays connected to 3G.
I have a tilt with Win6.1 Shifu and it disconnects from 3g when I sync.
BTW, is there any way to setup as in Win6.1 to Disable Data connections when the screen is off?
How do I edit the email scheduling? (Found it! I wasn't able to find the usual screen, and I thought that it was removed on 6.5...)
Thanks!

where do you find the box to check off exactly on the Imagio. I cant find it.
In your PC, ActiveSync:
File
Connection Settings
The last check: "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
If you can't find it, try to Sync it again as a new phone, and you'll be prompted asking it...
I hope it helps...
I'm still wondering how to disable data connection when you lock or turn off your screen.
Help please!
