How do I keep ActiveSync from turning on???

Everytime I do something it seems ActiveSync keeps turning on. I don't want it to. Anyone know how to keep it from starting up when connecting to GPRS or Wifi? I'm talking about it being on my K-Jam...not the laptop.
Thanks,
Tom

Try the follwing: Open Active Sync (on your Wizard) tap menu-server, add a server name ( just make one up), tap next, leave everyting empty and tap advanced, don't change the boxes and tap next, uncheck all the boxes and tap finish. tap menu again, tap schedule, set both boxes to manual. then close activeSync. The program will not load itself automatically again. for me this worked, hope it does for you too.

I have tried, but next time the device did not syncronized via USB (Activesync 4.1).

Hmm, can you go to menu-options and then see which categories are checked under Windows PC? those categories will be synced with your pc, perhaps they are unchecked as well? Only the categories under Exchange Server should be unchecked...My sync with AS 4.0 works fine.

ActiveSync jumps out of nowhere on my Exec

Just sitting in a restaurant, no wifi, not connected in anyway to anywhere.. and the Activesync shows up ?!?!? Writing the correct last time I synced my device (which was this morning at home). WTF is this?

go to activesync app on the ppc
create a server source
enter a totally fictitious name and address
follow the wizard, dont select any items to sync
set the period to sync as manual for both
finish the wizard
open the options
delete the new server source
the default setting is to auto start and sync, by creating the fictitious entry it allows you to change those settings
deleting the server source retains the sync period settings

Simon,
I have done this numerous times when I had the O2 ROM. Now I have the IMate ROM, it works if I am not connected to anything, so that is good, for that is what I want. One thing I notice when I am connected through WIFI, active sync application on my Exec still opens up on the background. Are you having the same experiences with this setup or am I missing a setting here?

my active sync doesnt auto start AS at all anymore if i set the server source to sync manually, then delete the server source.
i use wifi a lot and it also doesnt start it.
there could be other reasons such as programs you have that auto update from the web when wifi is running, eg SPB weather. again, i set this to update manually.
what other programs do you have that require or use an AS or WIFI connection?

I think you are right. I forgot about Pocket Weather's update settings. Thanks.

Disable Activesync Passthrough

Does anyone know how to disable the internet passthrough feature of ActiveSync 4.1? I cant access my home email or messenger from work so want to use GPRS for that (I've just signed up for the Orange unlimited GPRS bundle) whilst syncing as normal with Outlook.
There must be some way to tell it that the ActiveSync connection is not available for internet access and to connect GPRS instead.
This is driving me nuts!!!

have you looked under active syncs options ?
if it's not there then they removed it in version 4

Yeah, I thought of that as there used to be a tick box you could select to either enable or disable it. Unfortunately it appears they have removed that option in version 4.1 which is useful.
Does anyone know of a workaround (registry hack or something)?
I just want to be able to use ActiveSync to do what it's supposed to (i.e Sync) and GPRS for everything else...

WM6 Sync when wireless connected?

Does anyone have any programs (or a way to setup WM6) to do a sync when wireless is connected.
I am in an environment where i am connected via wireless for half my day.
I would like to be able to sync with my exchange server over wireless when it is connected and not sync when its not connected.
I am wanting it to sync automatically every time it connects (or every X minutes while it is connected) via WLAN
I am running a Dopod 838 pro with WM6pro and syncing with exchange 2003.
Any help appreciated.

This might not be the exact answer for you... But check rk-OSR(Check my signature) for the utility to check emails using wifi.

Great App
Wow, thats a great app...
I will be using this unless anyone come up with a better solution.
Thanks for the prog tytnguy.
One suggestion for future versions,
Add a sync every X mins/hours option.
Also is there any way of having it sync without showing the window (like sync in the background)? Not that it is a problem, just would be a little tidier.
Once again, great work and thanks.

You could also use a tool like emoze (www.emoze.com). I can use it to sync my mail, contacts, appointments, etc....

Thanks for the suggestion emay but I already have Exchange server 2003 running, so all my emails and contacts are syncing correctly.
Its just getting it to do it automaticly over WLAN while its connected to save me data charges.

Helpful answer

You may need to check your root certificates on your device and check with your admin about who you get your certificates though for the exchange server. They will have one if they have the exchange web mail log in enabled.
If you can get the certificate file to your device (tip: if it's a .crt file rename it a .cer so WM6 will read it). Then you can run it right off your device's file manager and it should install.
After that just make sure you're telling your device to sync via wifi.
Oh, and you can also configure peak times, this might save battery so your phone isn't constantly checking home wifi to sync. Also configure what to sync though the settings in your active sync menu, you should also be able to tell it only to connect wirelessly via wifi and not though your data plan.
I hope this all helps.

[HowTo]auto update weather/stock data when sync with a PC?

So far I don't have a 3g plan. I would like to update the weather/stock data everytime the HD is sync with my PC with internet.
I can do this manually but it's better if it's auto-refreshed.
(it would be even better if the data gets refreshed every certain minutes when sync)

no one knows it? no one needs it?

One possible solution would be to setup your device to download weather/stock automatically (for example every hour) and disable 3G/internet activity by using NoData app.
This means your device won't be able to auto-update when not connected via activesync as you have disabled 3G activity but will be able to update when connected via activesync. Just toggle off internet & WAP on NoData

thanks, I tried this myself.
but every time I open the weather tab, I got an error msg says that there is not i-net connection. this is a bit annoying ...
the quickGPS works much better, when I sync with a PC, it starts it self and fetch the data in background from i-net.

yeah! anyone knows how to get rid of that message everytime i go to the weather tab?

Anyone have a better solution out there yet. I would also want the Stocks and Weather update with every Sync. I know it does it when the Weather Tab is selected, I would just rather it automatically update even if left on the home screen on every Docking.
