I love my everything about my MDA - However, MS ActiveSync is absolutely terrible to work with and with a mind of its own.
When I first start my PC, ActiveSync works flawlessly. I am able to update and sync my contacts and install programs with no hassle.
However, as the day goes on, it becomes increasingly moody. When I plug in the MDA, there is no indication of it connecting. No swirly green circle etc.. Control Panel does not even indicate that something is connected.
When I plug into the next USB port, there is a "Unknown Device" error. ActiveSync again doesn't activate. I've restarted the comp as well as soft-resetting the MDA but to no avail. I was advised to uninstall all the USB drivers but still no result.
Whats strange though is that the very next day, it works all fine again in the morning and the daily dismal continues! :roll: :x
Anybody else facing these problems? I've got ActiveSync 3.8 but also had the same problems with previous AS's. In fact, I've also tried different computers but to no avail!
Do you guys happen to know of an alternative? This spawn of Microsoft is driving me crazy!!
have you tried a differnt usb cable? and does your case effect how far the plug goes when you connect your Magician (assuming your using a case)? just seems like it might not be connecting properly all the time. I had issues similar to yours when i purchased a new sync cable, it had slightly shorter data pins where it connected to my Jam which were not contacting. so it would power up and windows would detect but it would give the same errors.

thanks for the reply mate.
Its strange as I had another miniUSB cable but the problem was still there last time I tried. Very strange - I just hope MS could iron out these problems - I've heard that they are trying to use AS to contest with BlackBerry.
hmmm...it looks like there may be a possible solution to all this. I've researched a bit and apparently ActiveSync only works at the USB port originally used to connect the phone hence why it wasn't recognized by the other port.
But my one wasn't working with either port anyway!
Another suggestion was to hard reset the Pocket PC as this is apparently a common problem. And guess what? it worked!
This suggest there being a problem with the actual PocketPC settings itself - more specifically the ActiveSync settings. As doing a Hard-Reset is quite an inconvenient thing to do, is there anyway to delete/reset the ActiveSync settings without hard resetting?
Thanks again and I hope this is of help to anyone
i had a problem with activesync as well. i was traveling so in that time i had synched my jam with maybe 4 different pc's with activesync, all on guest partnership except my laptop. so when got back it had all these problems with my desktop. for example when i explored my device through activesync and tried to copy something to the computer it would show the copy dialog box but then nothing would be on my pc. i just reformatted my har drive for other reasons and now it works fine.. so i guess reformatting and reinstalling xp works. i did a hard reset on my jam and that didnt do anything.
From time to time Activesync will lock itself up. So go to task manager and shut it down - it's 2 apps, something like wcecomm.exe and something else; there's a number of apps freeware that will do this for you- i'm at work so can't help you more with the filename.
Then restart activesync and reconnect as normal.
Sometimes it does bugger up, but I've only had to reinstall windows once with an SPV.

Hi All,
Ijust bought a k-jam. it was working gr8, till all of a sudden it lost connection with AS 4.0.0 (build 4343). AS detects the device and starts connecting and just hangs there, and on the device AS starts but it doesn't do anything. I deleted all the partnerships from both the PC and the Device and still nuthin.
Can anyone help me here?
thanks

I have a Himalaya with buzzmobile 1.60c
I had the same. It worked for 10 days, then suddenly it stopped synching via USB.
If I want to synch I can only do it via BT, that is a pain because I used to synch via BT at home and cradled at my office.
Now that I MUST synch via BT on both PCs I have to pair my device every time :evil: :evil:
I tried everything: removed the "ghost" network adapter, installed USB drivers from scratch, uninstalled /installed AS 4.1 100+ times but nothing.
I gave up, hoping that as it stopped to sync, one day I will start again
Any idea will be welcome.

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
Logitech Desktop M5000 Laser
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

Seems to have sorted my problem out. Good news. Now tryng to figure out how to Send over images etc to my XDA Xec. Instructions supplied are not all that clear are they

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'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...
Hi all,
I had my set flashed to wm6.5 by Keyzx and it is wonderful.
Lately when I tried sync it with my computer and laptop, winxp detected it as unknown device and activesync shows that it is not connected at all with no partnership with the ipaq.
I was wondering if the USB port which is faulty but I can still see the ipaq is charging when it is plugged into the usb port. I had tried downgrade the WM to 6.1 but still no vail. I did changed several usb cables but still nothing. Anyone facing the same problem? Can anyone give any valuable pointers on this issue?
I had tried hard reset, soft reset and many more but it seems like not working.
sometime it happen but usually can be fixed by soft-reset or reboot of your own comp
Hi Keyx,
I am a big fan of your ROM and thanks for the advice.
This is not the first day that this happen but it had been like this almost 2 to 3 weeks now. I had tried soft reset, hard reset and restart of pc but it wouldnt detect the 612c. I was wondering if there is anyway for me to restore the rom back to the original and reflash it back to your cooked rom... as I do love the cool interface.
Sorry to bother you but I do hope you can guide me on this.
Regards,
Lee
ya i think there is stock hp rom somewhere in the forum which you can flash through sd or dnw, one can be found here
The same thing happened to me. I tried different computers, USB cables, uninstall/reinstall activesync, changing ROMs and nothing worked. The problem is the mini USB connector is very fragile. Your connector is most likely broken. I hope you have a warranty. I'm on my third unit due to the connector. The first one quit charging all together and the second one did the same as yours - charge only no sync.
in the very worst case you could live with bluetooth activesync if the connecter is really broken

Excellent way to troubleshoot keyx. That is so obvious it never occurred to me... I wish I would have done that before I returned the phone.
Yes, I guess that is the only way to activesync right now... using the bluetooth. I believe my usb connector is not functioning anymore as I had the original rom flashed on my phone and I still cant detect it on my laptop and desktop.
Thanks all for the information and its very helpful.
