I'm having some ActiveSync probs with my WIz. I have been able to put my movies [that were broken into parts in RAR archives] onto my SD card a few times without any problems ( by just dragging and dropping ) but now all of a sudden, my computer tells me that the specified file cannot be found and I no onger have a Active Sync connection.
I think it may be my computer, but it has worked before. Can anyone help me with a way to fix this, or suggest some other software for my to sync my movies with?

Hello all,
I have just bought the Jasjar on ebay, after months of hoping and dreaming!
The unit works fine, but the twit who sold it to me has 'lost' the original CD and manual, leaving me with no way of:
Syncing to my computer (tried it, but XP demands the install software)
Working out how to use the phone element (such as sending text messages).
Generous souls that they are at clubimate, they want to charge me $60 for this information!
I was wondering if someone might be able to send me a copy of the files / a torrent of the disk, so that i can at least install it on my home computer and read the .pdf manual.
Much appreciation in advance!
Stephen
active sync can be found on the ftp
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Tools_Programs/active_sync_4.1.zip
manuals can also be found on the ftp
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Original_German_and_Englsh_Manuals_etc/
have fun with it
Many thanks.
Is this ftp to the activesync the one that the computer will install so that it recognises the Jasjar? I downloaded activesync to my pc, but when I connected up my jasjar, my computer wouldn't recognise it, because the 'Install new hardware' utility had not completed!
Aha! The ftp part of this site appears to be the possible solution to my problems. When I connect my jasjar to the pc, which software file would I direct the 'hardware installer' to though?
Many thanks for your help so far!
there shouldnt be a ´hawdware installer´... active sync should recognise the jasjar without problems...
do u have it connected directly to the pc or to a usb-hub? try doing it directly
I was using activesync 3.8 from the windows website. Could that have an effect?
When plugged it, the bubble pops up, saying Device recognised: POCKET PC USB SYNC, and then the Hardware install dialog box comes up.
I will try with the latest version of Activesync, and see what difference it makes.
Wm5 (which is on your universal) only works with AS 4.0 or higher. Check the ftp for that or download directly from MS. I recommend AS 4.1, since it is much more stable than 4.0.
ActiveSync 4.0 doesnt work with aku2 roms if i remember correctly so try 4.1 (link can be found in my 1st post in this topic)
Okay, I downloaded and installed Activesync, and it will still not recognise my JJ, saying it cannot be found. At the same time, the computer says 'USB Device not recognised'. Argh!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
My XDA Exec has just been replaced by O2, but my PC reports the 'USB Device not recognised' error. I suspected the new phone but I plugged it into my laptop and that works fine.
Im pulling my hair out here, its very frustrating. I have installed 4.2, uninstalled, tried 4.1, no luck.
I tried connecting with the phone switched off, no difference. Tried after both PC and phone rebooted, no luck.
There must be something in the Windows USB settings that has gotten screwed up, but I don't know enough of that area to feel brave enough to tamper with it.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks

Ah, I have a solution to my problem!
After many reinstalls of different versions, I had a brainwave, why not try syncing when no other USB devices are attached! Hey presto! It works!! :lol:
I found that my USB Skype phone was conflicting somehow, so unplugging that works fine. I'll sort the USB phone out later, being able to sync is much more important atm.
Cheers

whether it's with the usb cable or the desktop cradle the sync between the phone and the desktop doesn't last for very long, it can vaey from 1min to 5min and is a real pain when it drops out whilst downloading a program.
Sometimes the display on the phone says it's syncing but if I look on the pc there is no sign of it in either windows explorer or the snyc centre (using vista), is this a vista problem or hardware/software problem with the phone.
thanks in advance

i used to have this problem... assuming you have already tried disabling the firewall and AV to see if it cures the problem (disconnect from the net first!)...
Firstly are you using WM6 or WM5?
if you are using WM6 then go to settings->Connections->USB to PC and untick enable advanced network functionality
if you are using WM5 then download the file (supplied by dopod) that makes the usb work using the serial protocol. the instructions are in the ZIP file, extract the cab file, copy it to your PDA (you may have to use a SD card reader if you cannot connect for long enough to send it or if not that use a SD slot on a Digital camera?) then find the file on your Prophet and install the rest is in the readme file.
ah shoot just read your running vista so probably not that! nevermind its something to try!
thanks for that, managed to put some videos on without the device crashing at long last
Hi Guys, Is anyone aware of a free program to transfer large files (say MP3 files) from my Macbook to WM6 phone (HTC Touch/Elf/P3450).
I have been successfully using SyncMate to connect to my HTC Touch and hence the USB connection works fine, so I believe that there should be a simple way to transfer files quickly to the storage card on my HTC. (I dont want to use Bluetooth as I need to transfer lots n lots of songs to my device..)
Thanks in advance for your expert views!
Cheers
SD Card reader is my suggestion.
So without buying a SD Card Reader Hardware, there is no other solution? Coz Macbook doesnt come with a (Micro) SD Card Reader..I was thinking that since SyncMate was able to connect to HTC via USB, there might be some other software or just some settings in Mac (or *nix) that need to be changed..
Just had a brain wave Since I already have boot camp installed on my Macbook, I just copied all the songs that I wanted to transfer onto my Windows Desktop from within Macbook. Next, just restarted my Mac in Windows and using ActiveSync and USB Cable, transferred the songs onto the storage device on my HTC!
I'm using Missing Sync on my Mac (around 35$). You can mount the SD card of the mobile phone on the desktop as a USB drive.
Hey, since we are on this topic.
I was thinking about getting a Macbook Pro, but don't want to give up my Touch Elfin P3452.
Will Mac OS X communicate with WM6 or ?
Yes it wud work , BUT u need to have EITHER Boot Camp installed on your Macbook (Boot Camp - used for booting into Windows) OR as suggested above, use Missing Sync..(I was unable to get Missing Sync trial edition working on my Macbook though..)
Alternatively other complicated approach could be to use some OS level commands..I had seen a blog somewhere which mentioned about using Unix Level commands to achieve the same..
Actually if you don't need to transfer big files (>5MB or so is quite tough), sync, or use huge speed you can use Bluetooth to transfer files and tether. As said before SyncMate for Mac is a nice free solution for syncing certain things. Missing Sync and PocketMac are full-fledged syncers you need to pay for.
Alternatively you can use Windows in BootCamp, VMWare or Parallels, but I really hate doing that because it's a bulky thing.
I did use Napster to go with my old HTC Touch (1GB Storage) without any problems.
Now I tried to use Napster to Go with my German HTC Touch Diamond 2 an a 16GB Sandisk SD card.
Somehow the WMD connection drops while transferring the files sporadically.
Neither Napster nor HTC feels responsible for the problem.
I also tried another Sandisk 16 GB storage card – but the problem remains.
Does anybody uses Napster To Go without any problems on the HTC TD2?
Does the connection problems exist within other circumstances?
Does nobody use "Napster to go"?
The problem is getting worse.
After a hard reset of my TD2 I was able to transfer about 40 music files without the device disconnecting.
Every transfer lowered the amount of transferable files.
Now I only have to start Napster with the TD2 connected and the Windows mobile device center caches and the device disconnects.
Strange, isn‘t it?

hello, i dont have a topaz, got a fuze, but i had this same problem, what i found out was i was having a software conflict, dont know which software i loaded, i did a hard reset and loaded everything then tried putting my music on and i would get disconnected, then i decided to hard reset again, this time i did not load anything, i started transfer and no problems. i would load about 7-8 gb of music, then load all my cabs, hope this helps
So far I've tried plugging my phone into my computer, but data rates were around 5Kbps. Then I tried using allshare, but no configuration of software and settings on my computer worked (tried boxee, WMP and WMC, as well as Samsungs media share program). I could never even see my computer listed as a server that I could play from. Finally I dug out my micro to standard SD converter and plugged it into my computer, but upon transfering the video I got a "Semaphore timeout period has expired" error.
Ideally I would like to get streaming to work, but I'll take anything at this point. I just want to lie in bed and watch some movies. Any Ideas?
You may need to reformat your sd card. It may take awhile since it already has issues but back it up on the computer, pop it back in the phone, format it, then put it back in the computer and restore everything.
