Syncronisation with active sync with wireless lan????

I have got a Htc Universal (Mda Pro) in Germany and tried to syncronisize the universal wih my active sync by w-lan but there is no possibility to connect like with my mda III and an older active sync!
Has anybody of you an idea how to connect???
Thank You

Unfortunately, MS removed wlan sync from ActiveSync 4.x -- you can still sync via USB or Bluetooth. There may be third-party wlan sync solutions, but you'll probably have to wait for them to catch up to WM5.

Why?
Can I use ActSync 3.8 with JasJar?

It's my understanding that WM5 requires ActiveSync 4.x. If that's the case, you can't use AS 3.8 with the JasJar unless you install WM2003 on it.

Wizard and SyncML

Does anyone know about the SyncML capabilities of the Wizard? I need to sync it using linux and multisync/kitchensync.
And hopefully, with its WLAN module, it wil finally be possible so sync a businessphone using linux without hours and hours of try and error.

If the manual is right, the Wizard supports only ActiveSync and has no SyncML implementation. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone who successfully syncronized his evolution/kontact application with ActiveSync of the wizard?

Hi there,
There's no SyncML functionality in activesync, It's Microsoft, they don't like openstandards.
You can use the synthesis syncml client (http://www.synthesis.ch/ )
and try it 30 days.
We use it to sync with Novell GroupWise, works very well!
Greetings,
Wouter

Thanks eendje. I searched for more applications like this and found http://www.sync4j.org/. Sounds like a GPL Version which works with Windows Mobile, too. Experiences are appreciated, but I think I will try it out and post mine. If it does not work, it will be an expensive tryout. :?

Hello Afroman.
Did you have any luck using sync4j. I have tried to use it but only get error (on my BA). I have used synthesis syncML (Pro editioN) and it works very well with mobical.net. Check it out.

how to sync with an apple mac

ok, just upgraded to a xda mini s and have also purchased an intel mac.
having absolute nightmares trying to get the two to sync. i've tried pocketmac and missing sync.nothing works. I love the phone but if I can't sync, then it's useless to me. I cant even copy my contacts etc from my old xda because the mini doesn't have xbackup and takes mini Sd card.
Help! wot can i do?

Have you tried the alpha version of missing sync?(2.5.10a) - it works, but I'm having problems with my calendar - it wants to modify things when I syncronise which I haven't changed. back up all your data first - address book & ical. I have no experience of entourage as I don't use it.
failing that, as you have an intel mac, install boot camp & windows xp sp2 and then you can sync all. works well & windows runs very fast on my 20" iMac. I prefer OSX though!

You would if it were a PowerPC powered mac, but virtual PC don't work on an intel mac.
I have some hardware & programs that don't work on a mac, that work on my iMac booted up under windows xp.
And yes, I can do it!!!! (so I have!)

keep this dialog rolling
let's keep this dialog going. it's great to see MAC talk on this forum. so far i've had NO luck sync'ing with my Powerbook G4. any one have luck doing any of the ROM upgrade?
i'm on T-Mobile in the states.

I'm using Missing Sync on G5 Quad with my Wizard. I'm also using USBSwitch, on the device, to sync via USB. Works very well when syncing with Entourage and iCal. It also mounts my PPC directly on the desktop for easy browsing. I used to be a PocketMac guy when I used my h6315, but Missing Sync is much better and it works with WM5.
Speaking of Macs. Has anyone seen an Apple-esque, brushed steel Today skin that works in BOTH portrait and landscape views. The one I have now does not work in landscape.

I'm using missing sync 2.5a10 and have issues with iCal. I have to input all new appointments in iCal, because if I let them sync with each other all sorts of amendments go on, even if I have not made any changes on my iMac or vario. Address book seems ok.
The other thing also is that to get the Vario & mac to talk I have to shut down missing sync, then open activity monitor, force quit all missing sync references, restart missing sync the connect using my vario. Then it will connect usinbg Bluetooth.
Where can I find USBswitch?

Just found USBswitch. works like a dream! soooo much faster than Bluetooth!

There's a thread going strong on this already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51236

Ok, what's this USB switch? where do i get it? how does it work?

do a search for USBswitch on this forum & you'll find it.

I found the USBswitch thread confusing. when i googled it, i ended up at this site for the handspring treo. is that the same software that would work with my mini S?

There is a thread called USBswitch in the wizard forum on this site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48251&highlight=usbswitch. scroll down to the bottom reply and download the USBswitch-ppc.zip. I couldn't do it on a mac, so I had to use a pc. - like many programs which come in zip form.

Linux and the Wizard

I was trying to connect my wizard to suse10.2 with no luck !!!

Anybody got some tips or can i better just be happy with wmstorage

finchsync is written in java will let you sync with Mozilla Apps under any OS.
-Jason

You can have a look at SynCE + Evolution... Not sure if it supported wm5 now. With linux, I only do file sharing (be it usb or wifi+samba

finchsync
works perfect thanks for the tip

gaznight, i happen to have the same problem. Well, kind of I'm able to sync to my wizard, but not to Evolution. I also messed up my settings for the 'Externe NDIS-host' (Yeah, i'm dutch too ) network card. Could you be so kind to post your settings? My guess was IP: 169.254.2.1, 255.255.255.0 and no default gw. Could you verify? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

funambol
I'm now using using funambol as my main PIM repository, it works great!!
Delete your active sync profile,
Install the funambol plugin on all programs / devices you want to sync with.
Programs sync directly with the funambol server
devices get internet though activesync or wifi and sync with a funambol server

ActiveSync Guest Mode

So, I have the HTC TyTn II and I sync only with my laptop and use my desktop just to transfer files and maybe install applications. The most annoying this is that ActiveSync wants to create a sync profile with my phone but I always have to click cancel and then it goes to "Guest" mode as noted on the top. I finally dug out the disassembler and nop'd out the call to the Synchronization Wizzard so it enters Guest mode immediately and quietly. Uploaded is A/S version 4.5.0 Build 5096 if anyone has a dedicated computer to upload files/download apps but not necessarily want to keep track of outlook/contacts/notes/etc
Hope someone can find this usefull.

good work!
but, IMHO, dont think this is the best solution
here's MS' official solution:

Nice read. I would suppose the registry modification would be easier for upgrades/updates as well. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for this! I'll try it on my work laptop tomorrow.

I know that trick but it's not working for me.
When I make that key in my registry, I can connect my PDA to my laptop, and it will be in Guest-Mode.
BUT, when I open Active Sync on my device to sync with my works exchange server, I will not work.
However, when I simply cancel Active Sync partnership wizard on my laptop, (so connect in guest-mode) I can sync fine.

I hoped this would have been the solution for us.
We have a lot of users with there smartphone. Coz they use flexible workspaces The sync on several pc's. We don't want to make a new partnership every time. Canceling the partnership makes it possible to sync with Exchange. But with this ActiveSync version this doesnt work. Also the GuestOnly register change syncing with exchange is not possible.
Anyone a solution?

I think when using this program to force ActiveSync guest mode, it just adds:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"GuestOnly"=dword:00000001
to the registry.
That tweak is not working for me.
I can connect succesfully, but my device won't sync.
Clicking "sync" on my device, just doesn't do anything.
BTW: I sync with an Echange server through LAN network.
