Hi @ all,
I just installed Active Sync 4.5 and have not yet synchronized once my wizard. I have following rom:
aku-3 Roms V2 For Htc-wizard 3.3.0.0
what are the problems?
- rapimgr.exe hast ALWAYS about 99% CPU loading, notebook is not anymore usable
- a synchrnonization lasts several minutes and ends with failures: when i click on view status after it seems to be synchronized, i get following message: server busy
- i cant edit settings, e.g. which outlook folder have to be synchronized, the option is grayed out...
(
has someone else problems like me?!
i will deinstall that and go back to 4.2 or what it was before...
thanks for replies
what versions of office and outlook are you using? also did you make sure you cleared up everything with your firewall software (if any)?
if all else fails uninstall, reboot, then reinstall. that usually does the trick.
good luck
I use Office 2003.
I reinstalled it already twice
now I connected it to my work pc, there it works... pah - it takes much longer than with 4.2, but the rapimgr.exe has not 99% cpu load while synchronizing and after like at my private notebook... :/

i'd bet money it was your software firewall. are you using zone alarm? if you are give access to all the components of zone alarm and you should be fine.
good luck
sorry, forgot to answer to this question:
i use sunbelt kerio. for old version it was configured correctly. when i look to the firewall, i see the programs with new icons which all have access as it was before... so i think that's not the problem
Hi i seem to have a problem with my dopod 838(htc wizard) i bought it 2nd hand and i can't get it to work with my sim cards( i tried 3 different network sim cards ) and i can't get any signal. the blue tooth, wi-fi, IR, and GPRS doesn't work. I can not connect with active sync... windows can see a device is connected but it says "unidentified device". The PDA side of the unit works perfectly fine, only the connectivity part and the sim won't work. I am sure it wasn't stolen coz it still has reciepts of the unit but its out of warranty already. any ideas on how to fix this? your reply would mean a great help. thank you in advance

You should have started your own thread for this. You need to post more information though or nobody will be able to help you. Reboot your phone and you'll soon see a page that list your IPL, SPL, OS, GSM, etc in the upper left hand corner while it's rebooting. Write that info down and post it. if you want help.

Hi. This has worked for me, and solved a massive problem. Hope it helps someone else too.
Step 1:
Ensure you are trying to fix the same problem as I was by looking at the symptoms, which were:
- HTC Wizard synchronizes OK when you plug it in the first time
- It stays in sync if you leave it plugged in
- If you unplug it and then plug it back in at any time later, XDA goes s-l-o-o-o-w and then freezes and will NOT re-sync
- If you unplug it and soft reset before reconnecting then it's fine
Essentially, the Wizard was requiring a soft reset between every connection to the USB cable, or it would crash and require a reset anyway!
These issues have been discussed in about 10 threads on this board, and on pretty much every other resource for Wizards and Pocket PC devices on the net. I was, however, totally unable to find something like this which directly addressed the problem.
Step 2:
Download a program called Dr. TCP from here: http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp
Run it to open a dialog box with loads of fields with strange techy names... no, i didn't understand it either. However, I've been searching the net for days and I found an article here: http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;504222574;fp;2;fpid;1277378924 which told me how to work the numbers out...
In the bottom drop-down box, select "Windows Mobile-based Device" and enter 1492 in the box next to that. That's your maximum "MTU".
Here are the settings which work for me (from the top). If i don't mention a setting, I didn't change it!
Tcp Recieve Window: 261360
Dial Up (RAS) MTU: 1492
Path MTU Discovery: Yes
Save and Exit Dr. Tcp.
Step 3:
You need to open "Network Connections"... in XP, that's Start > Connect To > Show All Connections. I'm sure you can find it yourself. Anyway there should be an icon called "Local Area Connection (x)" with "Wireless Mobile-based Device" written in grey underneath.
Right click on that and select DISABLE. This will close your USB connection to your Wizard so those MTU settings can be applied.
Now unplug your Wizard from its cable. Here, I tried right clicking on the connection and selecting "Enable", but it just errored. So you need to unplug it.
Step 4:
Reconnect and see what happens. I am now happily disconnecting and reconnecting as many times as i like and it just keeps on synchronising itself. MAMMA MIA!
If this solves your nasty "i need to reset every time I disconnect" problems then please post here to say so. If it doesn't work then post here also, I guess. If this is a solution for you then credit for this is not mine - it's just the sum total of a lot of searching across this and other forums, websites and message boards. THANKS!
not working
These steps did not work for me.
I still have to reset the device otherwise I get this message after about 5 minutes.
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
It appears to be only a problem syncing as I can still explore the device.
well...
...that's depressing. I genuinely thought that would work for other people too.
Did you read that PCWorld article I linked to? it explains how I got those numbers... they could be different for you, perhaps?
I'll keep thinking...
I did not look at the article. I'm having other issues trying to get my 2 computers synced with my mobile device http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=234189. Once I get those resolved I can try some different things.
On my home computer I am only synchronizing favorites and files and it doesn't appear to be a problem.[/url]
Oh right ok. I read your other post too, but I only have 1 PC for home and work so i can't help with that.
Has anyone else tried this?
I am no longer having the problem since I fixed my other sync issue (multiple computers issue). I had reinstalled activesync and did a hard reset on my device so maybe something else got cleared up. I am also having much better luck with the way my device is running. Before I was getting frequent slowdowns and lockups. I am a much happier customer and will be sticking with my cingular 8125. I just love all the features, but the activesync issues and slowness was starting to get to me. I'm so glad it is all behind me now and I can start to really enjoy the thing. Although I have yet to connect my bluetooth headset, that may have caused me issues too. Sorry I couldn't be more help testing this out.
I and a work college have had this problem on both our systems and found that it was being caused by Avantgo.
It would work fine and sync every time for days until we installed Avantgo.
After these we both had the symptoms you describe in the first post until we did a hard reset and re installed everything except Avantgo, it was then fine again. As a test I then reinstalled it and it started not syncing again, my college who has not reinstalled it has had no further problems.
I have now been running for 3 weeks with no problems and no Avantgo.
If you have it installed it may be worth trying it without for a wile and see if it helps.
Didn't work for me. Still no connection when plugging in for the 2nd time. MTU value changes back to blank when opening the Dr.TCP again, the other values are ok though. But thanks anyway for the hints!
Greetings,
Andreas
Didn't work for me neither...
just to check (i know this sounds daft) but you did DEFINITELY press the SAVE button in Dr TCP before you pressed the EXIT button? can't imagine why it wouldn't store the data.
aaaaaaaaanyway i guess it's not the ubersolution i thought it was
Now I thought I had this working 100% using this hack (It was on a clean install of WM5 however so this may have been why it worked). Anyhow, it stopped working again after I installed PocketWeather ... now locks up whenever I connect....
I wonder if it is 3rd part s/w causing some of the problems with AS? Is it down to the scheduled update in PocketWeather or simply hooks into the ConnectionManager / ActiveSync from apps looking to see if a network connection exists....
I think some more investigation is required ... or perhaps I will flood MS with 1000's of emails telling them how flakey their software is *(Though I think they already know that)*
Any updated? I'm having this same problem, except my device won't connect at all! Even after a reset. It connected once and that was it.
Hi Silentz,
sure, I saved the settings. I'll try the ActiveSync clean install-method and report the results. 'Hope that MS will put out an update or better version soon! Rumours out there?
Greetings,
Andreas
tried and failed...
tried the above TCP solution- Not working for me either...
Found best solution. Go try the latest imate rom. You can then plug out/in the cable as many times as you want & it'll just work fine.

It seems to be as soon as you access the internet through the passthru connection on Activesync. So installing AvantGo/PocketWeather might explain this to a certain degree as they may be accessing the internet.
Incidentally, how could Microsoft have stuffed up so badly with Activesync? It's a tiny program but works so badly - Couldn't a third party come up with a different version of Activesync or something? I'd pay for it if it worked better than this crock!
Just for info, the latest iMate ROM (With Push Email) does indeed seem to fix this issue. Obviously it was with the WM5 side rather than anything that could be fixed on the PC side.
My Active-sink probelms disappeared since upgrade to the latest iMate ROM. Has been working like a charm with all apps and utilities installed, Tweaks2k2, Spb Pocket Plus, Pocket Informant, Worldmate Pro, etc...
told you it works
cheers
I am running the 2.08 (Qtek test) rom and have this issue since last friday. before that never had it!!
What I changed on thursday was: enable exchange server sync and use it. because push-email si no solution for me I just disabled it and dropped the association.
Then (on friday) the trouble started.
I tried DrTCP...and ended up with a broken netlogon (secure client) service on the pc. The IS solution for that was a new image . . thank you very much.
I am back on track with the pc now, but AS still slows down my device.
Are any of you having this trouble using or have used:
-Push email
-Blackberry
What is the amount of free program memory on your device? Mine is around 6MB (probably caused by Blackberry install which I cant remove). . . .
Hey guys,
Ok this sync is really bugging me, first it took me ages to work out why when i plugged it in the connection went green ina ctive sync and said connecting but wasnt working no matter how long i gave it - turns out it was a firewal problem,
but now when i plug in my wizard and the wizard says connecting under active sync but my computer active sync doesnt do anything, i tried switching usbs restarting both PC and Wizard to no avail, i know my PC is seeing somthing there because it says at first (when i plug into new USB port) found device etc etc, but then it installs it as a network connection and trys to aquire an IP/Network address from it!! that doesnt seem right to me!
Any advice would be great
Thanks
Nathan
hmm has anyone with a working active sync noticed if its installed as a network device for you? does the wizard work as a USB - GPRS modem? because that would explain that bit.
Thanks
Hmmm...
I'm gonna guess that no one is responding because you've basically said some things that lead everyone to believe you've not researched your device or problem before starting a new thread about issues that have been covered time and again.
First, by default Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) connects using the Network Connection method. If you want to use the old USB Serial connection your will need to upgrade to an AKU 2.2 or AKU 2.3 Rom.
Second, if you use the search function (see the top center of the screen) you will find numerous threads discussing several issues with ActiveSync.
Newbies are always welcome but you need to at least try to find your answers before just plopping donw a new thread.
Hi,
I did a search, and tried most of the suggestions, but i dont get this AKU2 thing? and couldnt find a deifnition.
but anyway im since broken the phone so thanks anyway guys
Check your vpn option and firewall option. If you using cisco vpn then uncheck "statefull firewall (always on)".
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???
Does anyone know how to fix it???
i m having the same problem
hi
i upgrade form 1.6 to 2.2, rom available at t-mobile
its fast but active sync turns green then turn off
nothing happenes
the older 1.6 rom was workin fine
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.
When I connect my 8125 to my computer activesync doesnt recognize it on the computer or the pocket pc. But yet it still makes the chime noise. Im am still able to charge it on my computer, but activesync says "no connection"
ROM version 2.25.11.1 WWE
ROM date: 5/11/06
Radio version 02.25.11
Protocol version 4.1.13.12
ExtROM version 2.25.11.102
Did you even try the suggestions I made?

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...
Hi
I have a Cingular 8525 running wm6 rom vp3g 3.0.0 , radio 1.50 I've been trying to conect the phone with the pc the orange led ligth up but there is not syncronization, I try soft and hard reset on the device without sucess and the pc conect without problem with other devices, please do someone can help me or point me in the right direction to resolve this problem and the other question is if I can flas the rom for other wm6 version from the store card
thanks.
Please could some one help me with this.
Thanks.
uninstall activesync... get the latest version from microsoft and install it... should be fine at that point...
Found that the advanced networking on WM caused me problems with Activesync and firewalls - Once i disabled it XP saw my 3100 as a plain ol serial device again..
Thanks, i'm going to try but i used my other 8125 phone and it is conectiong and this the 8525 is not conecting with 3 diferents PC, I was thinking if there is a way to flash the room again with the wm6 from the store card or over the bluetooth conection.
Have you looked at the Mr Vanx guides to help you solve this problem? The answer will almost certainly be found here: www.mrvanx.org
Good luck.
WB
Sounds like its the single phn.. check that network setting as it could be set correctly on the one that connects ok..
Wouldn't even bother trying to flash it over Bluetooth..
wao this been a pain, I try so many things, first remove the activeync, clean the temporary file from the c:/ drive then restar pc and fresh install the activesyn, went to the 8525 settings-conection-usb to pc and uncheck network and conect to the pc but nada nothing just the batterery stat charging but not link with the pc no even the pc reconize that there is a device conected to it.
please any other advice would be appreriate, the phone is working great but i have not comunication betwen the pc and the phone.
thanks.
mine has exactly the same problem.
It has been working with activesyn fine then today the PC wont even recognise the phone.
Tried remove/reinstalling activesync, new usb cable and even on a different computer.
The phone shows it charging when pluuged in but nothing else.
I'm NOT suggesting this is the problem you have but just a possible cause to eliminate:
Have you used Memmaid or any other application (Scarybear / Sktools etc ) to clear the notifications queue (clear duplicates for alarms etc). If you have then did you also clear other files. If you did then you may have deleted vital repllog files that make the computer and PC start Active Sync.
If you have not done anything like this then ignore this post.
Mike
Ok, i did not but if I removed by any chance some files removing other softwear how can we repair wm6 without the USB conection.
thanks.
hello I was checking my device information and it hasradio version 1.16, this could be the problem doing the sincronizatio? is there a way to upgrade the radio thru the store card instead fro the pc?
thanks in advance.
Kudos and many thanks for those who do so much for the rest of us...
I am having this problem as well, but only since I upgraded my base desktop to XPpro and Office2007. The error message given at times involves "mobile deviceX" hardware installation going awry; at this point, I am on device 10.
It also appears to be device independant for me; I just synced and upgraded a wiz100, which went fine and dandy until it rebooted with the new ROM. All new ROMs in fact, and devolving doesn't appear to stop it.
I believe there may be an XP registry screwup... but at this point, I got no idears whar ta go
Lost in Yokel mode
Later....
Chalk me up for #11...as usual M$ article is almost, but not quite entirely, USELESS!
maybe this'll help somebody else...but I kinda doubt it.

Mike, I believe this is what has caused ActiveSync over USB not to work on my phone either. I cleared several items from the running notifications area using Task Manager v2.7 in an effort to kill repeating alarm alerts. I have currently running are: tmail.exe, repllog.exe, clock.exe and calup.exe. Could you please provide a list of other processes that should be running to allow activesync to operate properly over usb? I have researched this problem in depth and your idea is the only thing that makes sense
thanks.

THIS WAS MY PROBLEM!
i was using pmClean to clean temporary inet files and notifications, and it seems to be causing problems with activesync. i hard-reseted my Magician and activesync is working fine in every computer i attach it (almost a dozen right now)
thx a lot for your help!
Hello, i got an SPV M1000 (Himalaya) yesterday from ebay. It's a really nice piece of kit. I tried everything out and it worked fine. But this morning when i tried it the phone feature did not work (it's locked to Orange). It says "No Service" !. I tried the sim card back in my old phone and it works in there fine (so it's not the SIM). However, i CAN send texts and receive them on the M1000 (just cannot make or receive phone calls)!!!!. So why has the phone feature gone wrong ? any ideas ?.
When i click on "contacts" nothing happens, when i click on "phone" nothing happens !. I have tried the phone settings in START - SETTINGS - PERSONAL (tab) - PHONE and played a bit with the settings in there to no avail !. I have tried to set the network to auto and manual, still no joy. Has anyone got any idea how i can restore the phone feature ?. It did work fine yeaterday.
Also, activesync has stopped working, i just get "Synchronisation cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists please contact Microsoft Activesync Troubleshooter in Microsoft Activesync help on your desktop computer". I CAN use the "explore" feature of activesync, i just cannot synchronise !. I have checked all my firewall settings etc (i have Zone Alarm Pro), and i still cannot get it to work.
HELP !
Best Regards,
Andrew
It's running WM5.
no service
You may romupdate for offical rom.
How much did you buy it for?
