Hey folks. I am trying to rename my device (I have some software tied to the deivce ID), but everytime I connect to my desktop via activesync, the device is getting renamed.
How can I stop that?
Did you delete the Activesync partnership on your PC before connecting the re-named device? I find that usually works.
Yes, i did.
I loaded AS on the desktop, "File" -> "Delete Mobile Device".
Then, I goto the tytn (unplugged from the pc) and rename it using Start -> settings -> system -> about ->device ID and clicked "ok".
then, I re-connect the tytn (via cable).
ActiveSync then connects, but uses the OLD device name (It does go thru the setup portion - what to sync, etc.) but still on the old name.
Did you soft reset after changing the device name?

yes, I did.
If you remove active sync (program) from both your PC & also delete all sync settings on your PPC, then you wil be able to reset your "name" to whatever you desire.
Look in Local_Machine/ident

I find this solution for running ActiveSync connected thru BT via one click. I tried it on my MDA Compact and it works.
Hope it helps.

On the Pocket PC...
1. ActiveSync / Tools / Options... / Options... (yes options twice)
2. "When cradled Enable PC sync using this connection" 'Bluetooth
3. Startup an ActiveSync connection as you normally would...
4. Now setup a shortcut to the program "windows\repllog.exe" into the Start menu. To do this
a. open up Explore in ActiveSync
b. Go into My Pocket PC
c. Go into Windows folder
d. Find repllog.exe and right click and select copy
e. Go into the Start Menu folder (within Windows folder)
f. Right click, paste shortcut - rename to something like ActiveSync Direct
Back on the Pocket PC
5. Gracefully disconnect ActiveSync.
6. Start / Settings / Buttons
7. Choose Button 4
8. Set the button assignment as ActiveSync Direct (or whatever you called it above) and click OK
9. Reset your Pocket PC and wait about 15 seconds for everything to get loaded (esp. Bluetooth which takes a little while).
10. Press the top left side button. Voila! Easy!
If you get the ActiveSync - "Port Not Available" message, it just means that Bluetooth hasn't loaded yet. Tap OK, check that Bluetooth is activated and if so, try again.
Thanks for the post. Ive been having trouble getting this to work however.

Im using WM5, and firstly i dont have the option..option menu and secondly when i try to paste repllog it tells me that the file is copy protected or something like that.
Any ideas???
Help appreciated.....
Try to use Resco File Explorer instead of M$ Explorer. When you 'right click' on Windows/repllog.exe, there is 'Send To...' -> 'Start Menu as Shortcut' option in menu.

help with activesync only com1
every time i install bluetooth usb stack, it uses new com79, com80, now and i cannot sync over bt like i did before.
How can i delete those comports?in device manager under advanced in com1, tells me that from com2-com80 are in used.?????
Any idea, thanks
remove your stack from PC, then delete all com ports except 1 & 2 , use buttons windows + break & install stack again!
in properties of each ports set different com for example com1 , ignore errors , delete free changed one! do so with each wrong port
THANKS A LOT! PROBLEM WITH COM79,COM80,COM81......FIXED
thanx rustoss, you are BIG! i dont unplug usb stack even.....i just ignore all notifications and change my only COM1, to com5, and thats it!.i can activesync by bt again.thanks again :lol: :lol:
Hi,
ActiveSync on my Universal is not working. When I connect to desktop (xp.s2) AS on desktop (4.5 b2) connects but under 'tools' everything is greyed out but 'add remove programs' and 'explore device'.
When I explore device I can see the files on it but can not copy files to or from it. 'Add remove programs' has same problem. I get message like: 'connect to device/is device writeprotected?/do you have the rights?'
AS on device says something like: connect to desktop to sync. But desktop says I'm connected!!
I can't install backup program to backup contacts. I can't copy backupprog to device to install.
Btw: have tried to disable firewall but same result.
Hope some1 has a cunning plan?? Idears are very welcome!!
Cheers. Flummie
As the topic says, I can't change it. Actually I can, but as soon as I sync, it changes back.
I goto settings/about/device id/ and change the name. At the same time I delete the device from activesync (via file/delete mobile device). As soon as I connect it, It says it has found a new device, then changes the device name to WM_my_name1. I don't want it have that name.
I have tried uninstalling activesync, hard-reseting my phone and still no luck. Any ideas?
i can not connect my Qtek 2020 to PC via USB .
i have XP on the PC and WM 6.1 on the Qtek
i have the drivers but i don`t know what to do.
i have the WCEUSBSH .CAT . INF and .SYS from the original cd
when i conect the device i get a new Local Area Connection /Microsoft TV , Video Connection ...what is this ?
what do i do?
thanks
activesync include the only required drivers
and activesync is a program you can download free at ms
already tried
does not work even with active sync
make sure you have the latests service packs and updates for your computer
and if you use vista you need to use Windows Mobile Device Center rather then activesync
RNDIS
when i connect the device via USB cable my Windows Xp finds new hardware :
Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE-Remember to change IDVENDOR)
what is that ?
Serialusb driver problem

You are a victim of a well known problem.
Go to settings connections advanced settings and uncheque.
I case the device freezes after you press OK. Softreset and copy the attached file to \Windows folder. After copying rename it to serialusbfn.dll by deleting the last 2 letters.
This is a little workaround to overwrite a ROM-file, without getting an error or using third party apps.
still freezes

"cose i don`t have acces on the device ?"
use total commander and click \ icon you should get \ on your pda
then click windows and you will be in \windows
wich windows
so the file i should copy in the \windows on the device not on the computer?
....
thanks a lot ....
it works ...
I've been crawling through the internet for 2 days now, still found no solution. (even used the search-form of course).
My HTC Wizard does not connect to WLAN.
it is a MDA Vario - AKU3-Rom (official from T-Mobile), IPL + SPL 3.08, no-CID, no-SIMLOCK...
Description:
When i open the comm manager, it shows the icon for not-connected wlan. when i click it, there is the "windows is running"-animation, but nothing happens.
The same with 3rd party devices (like Homescreen++, WIFIFOFUM). I dunno what to do... PLEASE HELP!
Start->Settings->Connections->WLAN contains only grayed textfields (SSID, Modus, BSSID, Tx-Rate, Channel, Signal quality) and there is no MAC- or IP-address specified...
Start->Settings->Connections->Network Cards does not show any networks, but a variety of drivers (i think) like: NE2000-compatible Networkdriver, SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter. Upon opening them and selecting the automatic ip-gain the IP-Field says "no connection" instead of an IP-address...
(Pictures are from Bottoms-ROM, nothing has changed however i tried different ROMS...).
push
I have the same problem. Please someone help!
Try the following:
First use File Explorer on the device (or equally, browse device via computer and ActiveSync) and check to see if you have a file WifiInit showing in Windows\StartUp\ folder. This is the .lnk to the WifiInit.exe file in root the \Windows\ folder.
i) If the shortcut is present in the StartUp folder delete the shortcut (only) and soft reset your device. After re-boot try turning on WiFi. If it still doesn't work, then navigate to the WifiInit.exe in the root of Windows folder and click it to run the exe. Then try the Wifi again.
ii) If the shorcut is not present in the \Windows\Startup folder, then navigate to the WifiInit file in \Windows\ root, click it to run and check if WiFi works after that. If it does then you need to create shortcut in the \Windows\StartUp\ folder
Anything beyond this I cannot help further with.
Good Luck
Thnaks for your interest Nandaly!
Okay, i tried it with the O2-ROM installed.
There was the link in StartUp having 26Bytes on the phone.
WiFi still doesn't work after soft-reset.
So i looked in the Windows folder and there are 2 files: a link to WiFiInit.exe (sic!) and the file itself.
WiFiInit.exe (6.95KB) doesn't respond to clicking on it.
Wifi is now grayed out in the CommMgr.
With a new link in StartUp it's not grayed out anymore, but it doesn't work...
What i've seen on bootup is that the Wiz seemingly is trying to start the wifi and fails. (it takes longer before it launches the TouchFlow interface)
So i fear that the WiFi-EPROM is corrupted or it has sth to do with the battery that i had to revive. Since i didn't smash my device into the corner, i bet it is not a loose antenna...
