ActiveSync keeps restarting on PPC. >>> FIXED <<< - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I had a Cingular 8125 with NBD TouchFLO roms, but I ended up selling it so I could purchase a HTC Touch.
I posted this question in the ELF thread but nobody had an answer.
I thought I would post it here since the touch is a Pocket PC with WM6 installed and the Wizard thread is very active.
So, the problem I'm having is:
When I start up the HTC Touch, ActiveSync is running. I stop it, but sooner or later it will show up in the Tasks running again. I'll leave the HTC Touch alone for awhile, come back and ActiveSync is running again.
I did the ActiveSync Fake server Trick(Fake IP, Set schedules to Manual, etc..), but that didn't help.
I only had the HTC Touch for a couple of days. I haven't installed any programs. I even did a Hard Reset, but ActiveSync still runs.
Here is the Fix:
In the windows/activesync directory there is a file called “CtrlLog” file, in the file I noticed that at certain times it would say “KeepAwake” so I knew there had to be something trying to keep ActiveSync running.
I download an app called “Task Manager by FdcSoft”, cool little app for Free, it showed me all the processes running in the background. The one that caught my eye is a process called “repllog.exe”, because it had an ActiveSync icon next to it.
So just messing around with “Task Manager” I went to “Notifications” and noticed there were three “repllog.exe” in the notifications list towards the bottom. After disabling and enabling “repllog.exe” one by one, I believe the one that is causing ActiveSync to keep restarting itself is the “repllog.exe” that has an Argument named AppRunAfterTimeChange(must scroll to the right to see it). So I disabled that particular “repllog.exe” and did a Soft Reset.
I no longer see ActiveSync in the Task Manager list unless I connect to the PC using a USB cable.
NOTE: This procedure might not work for everyone. I have a HTC Touch with WM6.

Good luck, I've had that same problem in WM5 and WM6 and noone seems to know why it's happening. I've just learned to deal with it and shut it back off when I notice it running. Having x-button installed helps since all you have to do is click the button at the top of the today screen and see what programs are running and then shut it off. You might also check your commanager and see if it has an activesync disable button and just disable activesync when you're not using it.

ActiveSync won't STOP re-starting itself on HTC Touch. >>>FIXED<<<
I no longer see ActiveSync in the Task Manager list unless I connect to the PC using a USB cable. No more restarting itself.
NOTE: This procedure might not work for everyone. I have a HTC Touch with WM6.
I edited my first post, the fix is there.
Novak

Thanks KidNovak, I'll have to try that one out.

The reason activesync turns on it self because it is made that way, for example if you have microsoft exchange configured and you want the phone to get email asap it arrives, there is no way for phone to ask mail server to send the email to phone if the activesync isnt running. Now if activesync is on and you are on exchange then activesync connects it self to server and look to see if there is new email or any changes. That is the reason activesync turns on. Microsoft is Dumb it should only activate activesync to start it self if you setup exchange but i guess its a big hassel for them. Therefore concluding the top, it is perfectly normal.

I've got a problem with activesync too, my Cingular 8125, with Faria's rom, don't syncronise with all the contacts and the calendar of my pc.

This worked for me, thanks!

Novak - you seem to be in the know
Could you tell me how to install that .exe file onto my htc touch? I have a mac computer. Do I just install the file onto the device and then click on it when it's on there? If so, does it then go into my programs list?

Disregard...think I got it working!

followed your guide word for word and your fix worked for me HTC Prophet thanks so much for this fix

thnks it is working but everytime i disconnect my 818pro from my pc i need to terminate the activesync from the process folder and restart again..

Totally worked! Qtek S200 with WM6.1

ActivSync 3.7.1 Problems

Hi
I have upgraded to Activsync 3.7.1 and although the sync works between Outlook and PPC I cannot explore the PPC either using explore on the ActivSync menu or My Computer My Device.
I am trying to install TomTom 2 Maps to my SD card and it is not being regionised.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting the same. Any anyone else experienced this? I would be very grateful for any ideas on how to sort this.
Many thanks
Matt
An update
I preformed a hard resent on the device and still I cannot explore the PPC. HELP PLEASE.
Matt
So no problems before
So if I understand it right, You didn't had any problems before the upgrade to 3.7.1
That is correct, worked fine.
Make sure you've got all explorer windows closed before syncing.
If you have a previous window open, before syncing none of the windows will display anything - you need to sync and then open explorer
That is strange
I don't have to close any window.
OK. so if you place the machine into the craddle, you won't get the message connecting to.. is that right?
Hi
I do also have a problem with active sync 3.7.1 when I want to sync anything on my PC with my XDA.
I can only explore my device if I don't select contact, mail or something, otherwise my XDA crashes and I do have to do a soft-reset.
Try to have your partnership without any syncronisation... even if it bothers me a lot, I can currently live without syncronisation... hopefully I find the time to investigate this issue.
Does anybody has the same expierence ????
I don't want to do it with try-and-error...
What are your connection settings
Are all the three boxes ticket under connection settings? ( under active sync)
i seem to recall that zonealarm need to let some program get access before i can sync
other software firewall may require the same thing
including windows internal firewall
It worked before with older version so
If it worked fine with the older version, then it must be about settings within the new version (Igues)
When you installed the new version of activ sync, did you also altablish a new full partnership?
activesync hangs @ 91%
been doing wuite a bit of work on both the phone and laptop... no complaints at all.. but this morning AS didnt work.. so i uninstalled and reinstalled it again.. hoping that itd get back to place.. but while installing from CD or HD it stops @ 91%. says wceusbsh.cab file is not being read..! took it to the system administrator.. removed all entries from registry... and modified the evnt viewer as well.. everythng in vain..
the last retort is to take the back up of my comp.. and reinstall OS.. but is there anything i can do to avoid it..?

Problems syncing with two PCs using Activesync 4.1

Hi all
I have a UK T-Mobile Vario with no modified ROMs or anything like that. I am having problems syncing with two computers using Activesync 4.1.
I'm not experiencing any of the usual AS problems, I can connect to both computers by USB or IR without problems. I don't have any firewalls other than the built-in XP firewall, and they have been disabled for the Vario connection on both computers.
From "out of the box", I set up a partnership with my home computer without problems. I then did the same with my work computer. However, when I returned home, Activesync did not recognise the device as one with which it had a partnership and started the setup wizard again. I had to go through the whole process again... then the same thing happened when I returned to work!
It's very frustrating because it takes so long to set up new partnerships, and I can't be confident that it is properly merging what has changed on the Vario with what is on the PCs.
If no-one has any better ideas I guess I will have to do a hard reset and reinstall AS on both PCs, but I'd rather it didn't come to that!
Thanks in advance
Did you resolve this problem? I have been fighting with my new 8125 to try and get it to sync with my computer at home and my computer at work. It just won't share the same partnership and you can only setup contacts and calendar with one of the partnerships. I have tried deleting the mobile devices from active sync on both computers and removing them from the sync configuration on the mobile device and starting again with no luck.
It tells me this "Your Pocket PC is already set up to synchronize with another computer (Windows PC). Please enter a name that will help you easily distinguish this computer from your other computer (Windows PC). " But if I name it something else I can only sync contacts and calendar with one of the partnerships. Very annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the contacts and calendar to sync with 2 different computers (without configuration changes each time you sync). I had a PocketPC before (not a phone) and had no problems doing this.
This may not be what you want to hear, but I resolved the problem by uninstalling Activesync from both computers and doing a hard reset on the Vario at the same time. When everything was reinstalled it started working as it should. When doing the hard reset I also installed an updated ROM from T-Mobile for my device, so I cannot say with total certainty whether it was the reset or the new ROM that actually corrected the problem.
Does this mean you can successfully sync your contacts and calendar with 2 computers? Does it show just one item in the sync application on your mobile device?
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have both my machines, the Universal and Wizard syncing with my work laptop and my home PC without any problems.
The Wizard is syncing Calendar, Tasks and Contacts with both machines...

Ditto for me. I did a hard reset on my 8125, and reinstalled ActiveSync on comps. Original ROM, updated radio ROM only. Works like a champ syncing with 2 PCs.
That is good to hear that other people got it working.
Did you do any tricks to get this to work? Or did ActiveSync prompt you to create a multiple computer partnership?
What version of ROM do you have? I have 1.8.11.1 WWE and radio 01.09.11. I'm wondering what else is out there and I have heard about a 2.8.7.102 version, but it is prerelease.
Do you have ActiveSync 4.1 and Windows Mobile 5.0?

I didn't do any tricks - Activesync on your mobile is happy to have two partnerships at once. I'm also using AS 4.1 and WM 2005.
no luck yet
Well I did a hard reset on my device and reinstalled active sync on both of my computers and still no luck. Very frustrating. It still tells me that my pocket pc is already set up to synchronize with another computer and I need to name it something to distinguish it from the other computer. I do this and call it "Home" and then I can't click on Contacts or Calendar b/c it says that it is already synchronizing with my other computer. It says I can turn it on after, but only after I clear the check box for the other computer and try again.
Maybe now I'll look into updating the ROM, but I didn't really want to do this b/c I'm not sure if I want to keep the device if I can't get this to work. Maybe I'll try calling Microsoft although I've already tried and gotten three different phone numbers of people to talk to and when I had called they weren't in the office at the time. So I tried searching some more and trying some different things and came across this great forum!
I wonder if my problem is because my 2 computers are synchronizing with different exchange servers. I did read this:
"If you want to sync your Pocket PC or Smartphone with 2 PCs with Outlook and the 2 PCs are both synchronizing with different Exchange servers, you need to use a registry editor on the mobile device and set the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination] = (DWORD) 1
Source: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm
I wanted to try this but haven't found a free registry editor that works yet. I'll do this before the ROM.
FIXED
Changing EnableNonLocalCrossPollination fixed the problem.
I should have just tried that from the start. I paid the $20 for the Vidya Pocket Registry Editor 1.0.5 and changed the registry and now I can pick contacts for both home and work connections. Now to fix the problem of sync freeze

Activesync....keeps running...(NOW CURED 30-12-05..sort of)

For some strange reason, Activesync keeps running on my XDA Mini S, I have no idea why can anyone help?
Basically after a soft reset if I check the memory no programs are running, but after sometime if I have done nothing with the phone, and check, it is running again, I close it down and then again after a while it is there.
This is not whilst or after connecting to my PC it is strange...
Is it because u have a wifi connection over which is constantly trying to sync with your pc?
Believe this is a known bug (sure I've seen something mentioned on here before)
try a search over this forum
Can't find anything in previous posts...
I mean the only thing my phone syncs is my desktop...it is not set up for any other sync, except for USB..no schedule nothing, so why activsync keeps launching is a mystery to me...
Any further help will be much appreciated...
Are you using any weather plugins etc? Anything that might request a remote sync? Use something like memmaid to check your services to see if you've got anything hidden like this.
V
Nothing at all...
Will try to see what is going on with memmaid
I also have the same thing happening. It only syncs over usb but as someone said must be when I connect over wifi its kicking in.
Thing is when I shut it down my wizard seems to show a better turn of speed. Wish I could get it to stop trying to connect only when hooked with usb to be honest. The less programs running the speedier the wizard will be.
Creat a dummy server sync in activesync. Put anything as server address and that shd be fine. Ignore unresolved .... message after syncing.
victor
MemMaid has done it...I think...
Thanks to Vijay555 for suggesting using MemMaid.
Checking the running PROCESSES on MemMaid I found something called repllog.exe which I deleted and it stopped the ActiveSync running.
Then I did a soft reset and synced. The file is back where it should be but no unexpected incidences of ActiveSync running. I guess the repllog.exe file had become corrupted.
Be warned that the unit might seem to run a little slower after the soft reset, but within a few clicks it is back to normal.
Thanks for your time & help guys
Create a fake new ActiveSync connection. I say fake because you just need to make up the server name... put anything you want there. After you have created the connection, look at the scheduling options and make sure that it is not set to automatically synch. Once you have disabled automatic synching, you can remove that fake connection and your problem will be solved. I found this on www.pdaphonehome.com .
Sunnychad
replog should know what it's doing. Glad it sorted your problem out though!
V
Not so cured...
OK it now only kicks in every 4-5 hours so I will try the fake server route...

Just tried that and hopefully it works. Active really does seem to be one of the main reasons the Wizard slows up.
When you have synced with a pc ie to install a program ( only reason I use AS ) will I then have to close the app down on my wizard in running programs or will it dissapear itself and not return ?
The fake server technique works by not starting ActiveSync on its own. However, if you start it in order to sync via bluetooth/usb, you will still have to manually end task it in order to close it again. The good thing is that you won't have to worry about it starting by itself, which will save you both memory and processing power, as well as the fact that you don't have to install any third-party tools for this solution.
Good stuff. I could always tell when it was running by the speed of my Wizard. Another gr8 tip.

FIXED: ActiveSync Trouble - won't connect

Today my ActiveSync connection stopped working.
It tries to connect for a while then it comes up with "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. ..."
WM5torage works, so does pinging the Wizard.
Things I tried:
-Using the repair option from Active Sync setup
-Reverting the Wizard to a 3 day old backup made with SPB
Nothing worked :-(
What else (other than a hard reset) could I try?
See below for solution. And don't touch the notification queue if you don't know what you're doing
check if you firewall is blocking the activesync connection
if this is not the case ... good luck
try reinstalling activesync..
or get the latest one..
Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Activesync gone mad
I am having the same problem with activesync not actually syncing my contacts and calender despite making all the noises I usually associate with a successful sync. My contacts are not updated and my calender has none of the appointments from outlook uploaded to it.
I have done a soft reset. a hard reset, gone back to activesync 4.2 and nothing works. I have also tried the usb switch that is mentioned elsewhere and no joy. I have other ppc's running PPC2003 and these are fine and update almost immediately, its only my xda mini s that is being a sod. I never had a problem before activesync 4 and several other machines before the mini s. I should also mention that my outlook files are fine and work on all other machines.
It is bad business that the world is becoming dependant on such bad software as this. It is not progress to make things worse and Mr Gates should be held to task for the problems caused from forcing us onto unreliable software in the name of progress. I was happy enough on activesync 3.8 and WM2003 and never had problems.
Please, Please someone give me an answer before hammer and xda meet in heated discussion.
I have the same problem with my MDA and both my PC and Laptop. I have been trying to resolve this problem for months. It is unbelievable that it is so hard to resolve this issue. I have been posting on this forum and on others and still am looking for a resolution. Maybe someday, someone will resolve this issue. Thanks for your postings and help in trying to resolve this issue. Frustrated beyond belief.
Sorry, this did not work either: Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Update to previous
Just an update. I have tried this on another machine using the pst file from my machine and it syncs fine. Clearly, there is some problem on my machine with my software.
I have also removed outlook and reinstalled it. Also removed all profiles on main machine. At present, my calendar will sync but my contacts will not. Outlook tests say there is nothing wrong. Short of a complete software install I can not see another way to cure this other than the big hammer.
Go figure.
p.s.
If I had a hammer and Mr Gates was in front of me I would not be held responsible for my actions.
I found a corporate firewall that was preventing sync, I have to shut down the service and then it worked. Strangly, it would sync over bluetooth without stopping the service. A bit OT, but I can't seem to browse while synced. It asks for proxy info which I type in but it says bad user name/password. I KNOW I'm putting in the right proxy info (it defaulted it from my PC which browses fine) and correct user name/pw/domain. Any ideas?
FIXED
No firewall, no ActiveSync, no connection problems at all.
Fixed it by reverting my database to a backup.
When i had the well known alarm clock troubles i accidentially (= out of ignorance) deleted the whole notification queue.
Word of advice: Don't do that, it'll screw everything up

Still looking for some help on this.
check this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271174&highlight=activesync
Is this related to the inability to pass-through browse while on activesync? I am able to sync fine, but when I try to browse I get an error saying bad proxy info (which I've check 1000 times). Or sometimes when I'm messing around with the settings I get a "lost connection" message rather than the invalid login/password. So frustrating! Will switching to the serial type of connection help me?
ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!

8528 Running extremely slow! Its having a major meltdown! Please help!

I am ready to throw my phone against the wall!
All of a sudden about 2 days ago my phone began to run extremely slow. I cant even describe how slow it was. If I tried to send a 8 word text and after the 4th letter or so it would simply stop recognizing keyboard input. Its acting like its low on ram but I have plenty of memory. If I let it sit, turned on, for a 10 mins or so it might finally show the text so I could then send it. Also, the internet stopped working and it wouldnt connect to my email server (hotmail). I did a hard reset, soft reset and nothing worked. Its acting like it has a virus or something.
Cut to today, I thought I could just reflash it with Black Satin Medium and it would fix everything. It always seemed like a good program and I never had any problems before so I thought I could just reinstall it. It was fine for about an hour and now its moving slow again. I dont know if it could have been one of the .cabs I installed but they are the same cabs I had on my phone for months before it flipped out 2 days ago.
So please help! I use my phone for everything and right now it is unusable!
Once I get that part figured out I need help to figure out how I can get my contacts back onto my 8525. I have flashed my phone before but they always appeared right back onto my phone when I was done. It was effortless. And now I cant figure out how to get my contacts back. On Activesync, when I go to Tools, Options, then try to select Contacts as an item to sync I get a message that says "Activesync cannot synchronize Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes, because outlook is not installed on Windows PC. To Sync Email, Calander, Contacts, Tasks, and notes do the following: Disconnect the device, Install and run outlook, and then reconnect the device and try again."
But I have outlook on my PC and 8525. I never use either of them but they are there.
Lastly, and this is another big annoyance, any time I connect my 8525 to my laptop the clock on my phone jumps ahead 3 hours exactly. The time on my computer is the current time and so is the time on my phone. but everytime it jumps forward.
I am using Black Satin Medium WM 6
Rom date: 7/10/07
Radio version: 1.43.00.00
Protocal Version: 32.76.7020.19H

Hi Jim,
1. Hermes is a good device - don't do that with some patience everything will be fine.
2. In such a situation I will go to a major upgrade. Flash new radio e.g. 1.54, and maybe try some of new ROMs - Schap'a or Shamanix
- dont rush to install any cabs first, just see how the device performs for some time. Try syncing with your pc to see can you get the contacts on the devide
- it could be that some of the cabs got corrupted. maybe make sense to download them anew.
- start installing the cabs one by one, with significant time and usage between the installations - you can figure out which one is causing the problem
3. before start syncing for first time, just delete all mobile devices on PC activesync -- >File>Delete Mobile Device
4. Check your regional and clock settings
Have you installed any other software from your PC? I use to have similar problems with early versions of WM6 after installing CE-Star (Asian languages support)
Let me konw how the device performs
Cheers
PS. It is recomended after fresh flash of ROM to hardreset the device imediatley and only then start installations od applications
I just installed Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 ROM and its running much better. It looks to be a great program. I wish the clock wasnt so huge but it all seems to run great.
I still cant get my contacts to sync though. When I put my device name in there and connect using activesync it keeps changing the device name to WM_Owner.
Im playing with it. Any more suggestions could be helpful.
The regional settings were off. So the clock is now good.

re sync issue - did you delete all mobile devices on Microsoft ActiveSync? after that you should be able to establishe a new partnership between the PC and PPC - then everything must work fine
But if i delete all of my mobile devices it will erase my saved info then my contacts will be lost for ever wont they?

You dont delete any info on your PC, only the partnership between PC and Pocket PC. This will not affect your contacts. After that should establish a new partnership - choosing all settings etc., and everything must be fine.
WARNING! Better first archive your contacts and then proceed.
I deleted one of the two relationships, WM_Owner, and it deleted the folder on my pc with all the info in it. I haven't deleted the WM_James_Klafe2 relationship yet because that's the one that should have all my contact info it it. that was the name of my phone before I installed schap's 4.2
I have it backed up, should I just delete it and see what happens when I reconnect it? should I name my 8525 WM_James_Klafe2 again?
I hate creating more clutter but I started a new thread that specially relates to this problem.

Hi Jimbo69ny,
Personally I test almost every new rom for Hermes, and every time there is a new rom on my device I do three things:
1. name the phone - e.g. WM_James_Klafe2
2. delete partnerships on the PC - do not do any backup etc.
3. establishing new partnership between the pc and ppc
thats all!
All my contacts are synced with no problem, including notes, and other stuff defined for synchronization. in fact your contacts are stored in outlook, and deleteing the partnership do not affects them at all
Cheers
so what if I don't have outlook installed anymore? does that mean I lost my contacts? does someone a copy of office that has outlook in it someone could send me?
Damn it Ive been having one problem after another with my 8525 just when I think things are going good there is another set back.
My phone wont sync to my computer anymore. I have Schaps 4.20 installed and I installed the cube earlier today just to see what it was like because I was going to upgrade to shaps 4.3. I really liked it but I its more than I need. Now its time to upgrade and when I connect my phone to my pc i get a message that says "usb device not recognized"
What the heck is going on?
I uninstalled the cube from my ppc did 2 soft resets, restarted my computer and it still wont recognize my pcc
After two hard resets I finally got it to accept Shaps 4.3 rom. It still wouldnt do it after the 1st and 2nd hard reset but for some reason, the last time I connected it via usb, it worked.
THANK GOD! I dont know what happened and why it wouldnt connect but Im happy I fixed.
Still no contacts though
Hi Jimbo69ny,
to best of my knowledge the contacts are stored in outlook. if do not have outlook on your pc i cant say what activesync will sync - my assumption is that you have, as you was able to sync some time ago, dont you?
(on my secnd pc i have outlook express and it syncs too with no problems)
which Cube you have installed? I never had such kind of problems with any cube.
the problem "usb device not recognized" happens from time to time - no idea about the exact reason. sometime it is enough to disconnect the device and connect it again, in few cases i needed to restart the computer - and then it worked with no problems. never did hardreste.
I am confused that you still cannot get your contacts synced. i guess you followed the steps i gave you previously
let me know how you forward
btw, try focussing on one issue only - get first your contacts synced
