I've got an 8525 and Vista Business. Problem is when they are connected they won't stop talking to each other.
This causes no problems on the 8525 but on my PC the window you are working in loses focus every 2-4 seconds while they sync again. I can't find any settings to regulate how often the devices sync. It happens via USB or bluetooth.
I'd like to leave the 8525 plugged in for charging while I'm at my computer.
I've spent time searching here and elsewhere. Any ideas?

Hi!
I have set my ActiveSync in options that it should only snyc on connection and set schedule to manual. But when my XDAII is in its cradle and the PC is running, the device turns on and performs a sync about every 15 minutes. How can this be avoided?
Thanks for help.
Dominik
there is such an option
i just cant recall if it's in activesync on the pc
or activesync on the xda
Try this:
On activ sync on the pc
open up options go to shedule and set server also to manually. see if this work
Hi!
I have already set server option to manual, but that doesnt help.
The problem is, that the XDAII turns on, syncs and doesnt turn off after 5 minutes like I told it to do in the xda settings. It just turns off the backlight, keeps on and starts to sync again after 15 minutes.
Are there any Active Sync options on the XDA itself anyway?
Thanks for help

I have the same problem like you.
XDA2 syncronize and then, after about 1 minute it disconnect.
and you are using the 3.7.1 version ?
the older ones are kinda strange
Hi!
I use the 3.7 which came with my XDAII.
Any differences to 3.7.1?
If so, where can I get it?
Best regards
Dominik
Yes, I'm using 3.7.1
I performed a full reset and my PC runs WinXP.
You can find ActSync 3.7.1 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync37.mspx
When I try to make a backup during this process the connection shut down and show following msg "Connection to device was broken during backup. The operation was canceled. Your backup file has been returned to its previous state."
I don't know what I do?
I forgot. I'm using a XDA usb cable on my XDA2 maybe this is the problem. What do you think?
When I'm using the cradle everything is perfect.
I bought the XDA usb cable in order to charge XDA2 while on the road with usb cigarret lighter adapter.
Hi!
I have updated to 3.7.1, but the non-scheduled regular syncs problem remains.
I think this may also be caused by WinXP because when I deinstalled Active Sync, Windows kept checking the connected XDAII every now and then, trying to establish a connection. As I have set ActiveSync to "sync at connect", this regular connect may be what Windows does.
What do you think?
Dominik
Are you using the original cradle/cable? I think the XDA usb cable doesn't works with XDA2 except as a charger.
Hi!
Original cables for me.

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.

I flashed my Hermes to the LVSW ROM and it works perfectly except for one thing. When I plug my device in, it syncs up perfectly...but after 5 minutes or so, I hear the disconnect from active sync sound. After that, no matter how many times I plug it back in, try to search for the device, enable active sync through communication manager (which fails)...It just won't reconnect. Restarting my computer seems to be the only way to get it to recognize my phone again.
I'm using XP, Active Sync 4.5, LVSW ROM.
Yesterday I updated my T-Mobile Wing from the stock WM6 to WM6.1 and OpenTouch 4.0. I am running Windows Vista so I have to use the Windows Mobile Device Center. My problem is the first time I tried to sync I had no issues (contacts and email/appts). Now when I try, it doesn't even connect to my device. Anyone have any suggestions on why I'm having this issue?
BLUETOOTH?
Does Your Computer Have Bluetooth, Thats What I Used To Get It Synced The First Time?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it doesn't have bluetooth built in or anything. Like I said, I was able to get it sync'd last night via USB and now its not even connecting.
I just went and bought a bluetooth usb adapter for my lappy. i'll see if i can get it to connect/sync that way.
I can sometimes (rarely connect) but can't sync
Any other options on why I can't sync? I'm running the wing with WM6.1 and Touch Point 4.0. My OS is Vista Home Premium so I have to use Windows Mobile Device Center.
thanks.
Yes I have one option.
When you first log in to your windows profile as your desktop is loading your computer should make a small melody sound right after this connect your phone to the computer, give it a few moments you should see the small Windows mobile device center screen start up. I know it sounds weird but I had the same issues and after months of endless research I accidentally discovered this.
The bad thing is you have to restart your computer and connect on desktop loading everytime you want it to recognize your device through Windows Mobile Device Center.
Please let me knows if it works for you.
I haven't really figured out an entirely foolproof method (haven't tried BigREDD's suggestion yet), but I usually just keep plugging it in and unplugging it until it's recognized. Restart the computer with the phone already plugged in via USB. Soft-reset the phone while it's already plugged in via USB. Make sure repllog.exe is in your startup. I've never had any luck starting ActiveSync from Programs and then hitting "Sync", but maybe you will.
Help! Cant Sync No Blue Tooth Only Boot Screen
UUUUGGG! Good grief. today has been a charlie brown day. will you please help me?
must have skipped a step flashing?
the phones connected to the computer via usb and it wont sync? , no blue tooth, to make it worst its stuck on the boot screen. i think i have the correct RUU? Anyone have ideas?
I just passed my 8525 to my wife and set it up to synch with her computer.
Everything is working except that the device KEEPS synching. It finishes then a couple minutes later it kicks in again as long as it is plugged into the computer.
Any idea how to stop this? She uses her PC to charge the phone so we do not want to unplug it after synching.
The phone has the latest AT&T Rom. Activesync is 4.5. It was working fine for her 8125 but the usb connector on the phone broke so no more charging.

There are different ways to disable syncing, so read through before deciding what's best for you.
