Tytn Problems :-( - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hello,
I switched on my Vario 2 this morning and first thing I noticed is that I had no service, then no calendar and tasks on my home screen, then was unable to sync with ActiveSync and can't launch Calendar, Contacts and Phone.
I've tried everything with ActiveSync, but it just keeps saying it can't connect to my device.
No entirely sure whats going on, I hope someone out there knows whats going on.
If I can't fix it, is it possible to upgrade the ROM without using ActiveSync?
Regards,
Nanak

I believe you can do it from a memory card although I hven't tried it myself. If you have a look at the wiki I think there are instructions there.

@nswali,
Have you tried a hard reset?
WB

Cheers, the hard reset sorted it.
Many Thanks,
Nanak

Active Sync Starts Unnecessarily

I dont' know if anybody has noticed this. After going thorugh Start / Settings / System Tab / Memory / running programs tab I stop all running progrrams. After sometimes I go to this place again and I find Active Sync as a running application even though I have not started it.
This did not happen on my old pda2k. Why does it happen on the universal JJ. Though it does not matter but yet it is taking some useful RAM and more so my urge to know why does it happen.
I will appreicate your views
Regards
I had this problem too
It is a pain in the ass as this causes skype not work with me. No solution yet.

Same here. I hope they fix things like this in Rom updates.
Try putting in dummy exchange server settings, disable all scheduled updates. That should stop AS autostarting.
Hi Efjay. Remember me? Anyway.. :? can you tell me/us how to go about doing this please :roll: grovel, grovel!
Meanwhile, glad I was wrong about you! :lol:
Not to worry. Sussed it. Thanks for the tip though! :lol:
mackaby007, np glad you got it working, was at work and didn't see your reply til now on the way home. One-handed WM5 rocks.
Hi Efjay and All.
I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had some problems whereby Active sync stopped working for me alltogether. Decided to download and install the unofficial 4.1 version of Activesync in conjunction with Magicbutton (and disabled the 'close' feature of Spb pocket plus 3) and presto, I'm no longer getting Activesync running in the background and all aplications close as they should!
If anyone is still experiencing problems in this area, give this a try and please post your experience back here.
Yeah your right Efjay, one handed operation in WM 5 rocks , but I'm still struggling to put the stylus down (I've become so used it, it's a new learning curve for me).
That's what you think
Try turning on wifi, and AS will come right back. I tried your solution and no luck. I tried faking the server and changing the schedule otpion, no luck, it just lives on....
No more annoying Activesync!!
Hi All. Just to report back, I,ve not had the recurring problem with Activesync poppin back anymore, at all, whatsoever!
Mikee: I tried as you said, and used wi-fi to surf the web, then watched a 2 hour movie on the JAsJar, then reconnected the wi-fi and listened to Resco Radio for 15 minutes, then checked memory status under settings. Nothing. No Activesync and nothing else running in memory. for me at least, the problem is gone and I'm not using any dummy server settings either! I'm typing this from the JasJar now and as we speak....just checked memory again. Nothing.
I don't know what to say, but I know you've had this problem a while now and all I can think is that it's either the software you have installed (possibly need a clean re-install of Activesync 4.1) like skype, which I uninstalled the minute I got my JasJar, or your Radio ROM update, which I have not done either.
Anyway, sorry I can't be of any more help to you, but please post your findings here if you snag the culprit.
For yor reference:
i-mate JasJar
ROM version: 1.12.38 WWE
ROM date: 08/24/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.12.120 WWE

Hello All,
I don't think this problem is specfic to the JasJar, as I have the very same problem on my PDA2K. This only started happening after I upgraded to the windows of OS. So, I think it's more to do with W05 and or activesyne 04 which is needed to run W05. I have also found that this happen befor I even installed any apps on system, and I never had Skype so that can be ruled out as the culprit. Anyway, still trying to solve this bug, Have not recieved my Universal as yet...I'm waiting for the o2 version :shock: Think the black rocks! Until then I have been keeping my eye on all the help from this section of the site...Just my 2cents

Disappearing features

Got myself an Exec after being a loyal symbian follower for many years.
Why oh why do some things keep disappearing :? :? :?
GPRS monitor has gone from the today page
The battery meter from the bottom bar has gone
My email accounts disappear after a soft reset.
WiFi settings keep losing my network key
'Phone pad' keyboard no longer appears
I have tried all of the install modes including the nasty o2 setup, currently running corp(0506).
If I soft reset before the o2 Cabs load, what will I loose?
Gav
btt
am i the only one with these problems...?
I had similar issues with my first XDA Exec. I added the wireless connection and bluetooth device. The next day both would just disappear while the bluetooth was being used.
My current XDA Exec keeps corrupting files. Some of the files become unloadable, and others seem to loose the first character of the file name. This makes them not load when the device is reset.
I don't know what causes it, but I would be interested to find out if other people are having similar issues.

William. D. Wensley
.
Same here too
This is no help :roll: but I guess you guys must be in the minority, cos you're the first people I've seen mention these problems. Certainly my Exec remembers all its WiFi connection settings and my email accounts after soft resets. That would really be annoying. :evil:
For info about doing HardResets and selective CAB install, this thread might answer your questions.
I had similar problems on Qtek 9000.
Mail, Grps, Wifi and other settings got lost on every soft reset.
Uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus 3.0.4 and the problem is gone for now
And BAAAAAAM the problem is back again.
Once more everything is deleted :evil: :evil: :evil:
After this happends and you sync the device, do you also get a screen on the device asking for Exchange Password?
I hit 1234 and save password, then it syncs.
Using AC 4.1 on W2K all updates
Yes, I kept getting that issue on my first Exec. The ActiveSync synchronisation would stop until a non existent exchange password is entered.
Since I had my Exec replaced, I haven't had that issue.
Regards,
William
.
Well it aint AC that doe's this.
Cleared my device and started over without Syncing at all.
Soft Reset, Mail and Wlan gone and forgets user/pass for gprs.
It's on it's way back A.S.A.P
Hello there,
I have exactly the same problems as you describe. Have set the software back to factory, and the same problems appear.
I also have problems with BT, since no connections can be accepted....
Oooohhh no, even more people having this problem........
Ill prob. get the same device back and have this problem for a few month until a usable rom is releashed.
I dont know, could it bee the messaging software the causes this???
The same error has been reported by people upgrading BA to WM5.
error ActiveSync 4.1
There is a well documented error with ActiveSyns 4.x if you google for the ActiveSync error No. in my case something like 810041 you will see that an error code starting with an 8 points the fault at Outlook API Whatever that is) and there are several fixes and workarounds out there. in my case I was trying to sync with my laptop while it was not connected to the exchange server BUT there are several other things to try that get rid of the imaginary server.
Hope this helps
@toho
Yeaar your right, but it still dossen't explain the missing settings and accounts.
I lost mine without even syncing the device after a Hard Reset.
mail settings
well..2 days now and no loss
but it seems there is a wm5 problem ......
I have been careful to not disconnect the AS cable when a sync is in progress , so far...so good!
Today though, Skype has gone loopy!
The WiFi also fails to find my AP as well
Oh dear

Disappearing email accounts
I had 3 additional email accounts set up on my XDA Exec and was downloading and sending emails of through them ok via WIFI and GPRS. I was also syncing OK with my outlook on my desk top.
This morning I checked my mail through my WIFI conection (not via PC), and downloaded ok, although I seemed to loose a load of mail in one account. - Did'nt think much of it....and put it down to SPAM/VIRUS
Mid morning my old Oragne phone number was ported accross and I did a soft reset to "reinitiate" the phone etc. This works fine.
I did some Active Syncs ok as well.
THEN
I noted that all my other email accounts had gone - only Outlook remaining.
Later when I tried to Sync, I am now being asked for a MS Exchange username. I am not using exchange!
ALSO When I try and set up my old email accounts again, it says to use a different Account name as it already exisits, but plainly does'nt.
I have got rid of the 02 Bloatware and running in Corp install. Much faster and more stable - until now.
Any help on thes propbs appriciated.
Cheers
Ed (Mr)
Once again my 3 email accounts disappeard last night when down loading mail via my wifi connection.
They still appear on the today page, but cannot be accesed from it, or from messaging.
I now have 6 email accounts sitting somwhere on my xda exec and cannot get to them!
I have tried the reset method using psshutxp and it has not worked.
Not impressed with WM5's speed or stability compared to Palm which ran for years with hardly a hitch. It would'nt be so bad if there was a full backup/ restore facility so that hard resets could be used to sort it out.
I have had more resets, crashes and "bugs" in 2 weeks than in 3 years with a palm.
Can anyone help in getting my accounts back and restore my faith in WM5!? Please.

I've lost my phone pad as well. I don't appear to HAVE wi-fi on the new incarnation of this phone (not that I care, I never used it anyway), and once again, I can't get the phone to sync to my computer. I've never known a devide this unstable in all the years that I've been a certified gadget freak. It's heart-breaking, because the potential of this thing is amazing, but it JUST. DOESN'T. WORK.

Thank God my problem is a little less crucial than yours... Mine is the disappearing act of the soft keys "Menu" under Phone pad and the Contacts under the Start screen... It returns after I do a soft reset.. weird huh?
My email accounts just vanished too, and thats just a few mins after upgrading to the new O2 ROM
I'm getting the Exchange login too.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Activesync error 0x80070008

I use activesync with an exchange server in real time to sync my emails:
I have a major problem with this sync error (0x80070008) constantly coming up on my Cingular 8525. My device will get this error 2-3 times a day during heavy use and it is causing me a lot of heartache. It is true that you can just do a soft reset and then the activesync works again....HOWEVER, there are some times where I do a tremendous amount of work moving emails around and sending replies etc.....then I get the error and do soft reset and lose all that work. It is a major annoyance and it is causing me to rely less and less on my device for email work. I don't want that to be the case because I love this thing and I don't want this to get in the way.
I can only say one more piece of info that may or may not be a real association - This error happens often when I'm on the subway and I have no service I do a lot of work on the device....and when I get out and try to sync this error is very common. This is not the only time it happens, but, its a frequent one.
It surprises me that this is not plaguing others besides me. I hope that someone out there can give me a real fix to this nightmare.
Thanks,
Ezra
Which ROM you are working with?
Rom version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
I dont know if its the same problem or not, but I used to get something similar when i lost service...not able to connect back up to the data network.
I just went into comm manager and turned the phone off and back on...no soft reset...no lost data.
First Post, not a real fix, but maybe a workaround.

Unfortunately this isn't a data connection problem. I am able to browse the web when this error occurs but not sync. I've seen it mentioned somewhere that this is some kind of memory leak problem....I don't know.

edited error code
Sorry I had to edit the main thread subject because I wrote the error code incorrectly.
ezra
bump. PLease, someone help me with this. I cannot stand it anymore.

indicated the same problem with same activity, agressively moving emails around through your subfolders might be a significant cause, perhaps due to the sync process, and trying to keep up with you.
especially if you are loosing a connnection back to the server due to your circumstances, it is perhaps trying to queue the number of changes and trying to keep up. new technology probably is perhaps lacking a bit of thought in the process.
just my two bobs worth, and you get your bump anyway.

The same problem with Kaisar Rom wm6.1
Hi,
I have the same problem with kaisar after upgrading to WM6.1. I have many subfolders (over 50). Any solution to the problem?
Thanks
I got that error after something happened to the AS file on my pc. The Hermes tried to find the file but as it was missing it couldn't. Only solution was to delete the sync relationship and start again. Had all my contacts backed up as a precaution because you loose them all if you delete both sync folders - on pc and hermes...
Cheers...
Syncing too many folders causes error
I get that same error with my Touch, whenever I have too many (more than 20 or so) folders setup to synchronize. What's really annoying is that with WM 6.0 I could sync up to about 40, but with 6.1 I can do only half as many.
So far I am at a complete loss as to the cause.
maybe this guy is up to something that would help us

I started getting this error on my HTC Touch Pro when I decided to sync my appointments for the previous month instead of the previous two weeks. I was using ActiveSync through bluetooth. I didn't have any problems syncing until I made that change.
I decided to sync it through the USB cable instead and it sync'd without any errors. My guess is that the bluetooth connection was too slow to sync the larger amount of data.

Not true..
I went from a stock rom to the evolution rom.
When i trie to sync it gives me the error.
What should mean that it is out of memory.

Broke Activesync

I dunno what I've done, but I've broken it. Seriously. It won't work and I'm almost stuffed
Basically my HTC Hermes / SPV M3100 has developed 'a serious error' and the SatNav software won't boot. It happens from time to time. About a month ago the MS Reader software failed too thus leaving me without access to ebooks on my PDA. So I've been carrying my Psion 5mx with me for that task.
Basically, it needs a hard reset. But, before I can do that I need to backup the device, the contacts, messages and everything and do a controlled and proper reinstall.
Except Activesync won't connect to the PPC.
I've tried Ver 3.8, 4.2 and 4.5. It's a WM5 Device and therefore I understand that 4.5 is too new. I have 4.2 installed but when I plug the PDA in although it charges it does not connect
I have checked and unchecked "advanced usb connect" in the connections screen of Settings with no joy
So, er, I'd like help please I need to get the device operational for work on Monday or I'll be working off maps again. I use them as backup anyway, but even so!!!
Right. Well. I've tried a whole bunch of different cables, including the one that came with the phone. None are working. In desperation I have removed all un necessary software and used SPB Backup in a CAB install to backup all to the memory card then I'm going to do a hard reset and hope it cures it. If not I guess I'll be contacting Orange for an Insurance Swap due to a faulty unit
Which means I'll probably be without my phone for a week
Well. There you go. Obviously some sort of failure on the device. As soon as I did a hard reset and plugged it in, every thing was recognised.
The SPB restore for just my PIM, Contacts, Notes and Tasks went well and was immediately incorporated into Outlook, and suddenly everything is good.
However, I just now have the reinstallation to do today.... Ahh well.
So the moral of this story is, if ActiveSync fails, then it's probably the device that doesn't like you and SPB is worth the £15
I am using SPB Backup since I switched from HP PDA's to others without integrated backup software and I am happy ever since for the backup part.
I can't tell you what went wrong with your Hermes, definitly a software or registry problem but it was for sure not your desktop activesync sw. There must be some sort of incompatible sw running on your device, meaning: the issue might reappear if you reinstall that particular program again!
My advice: reinstall your application step by step! First install 1 program and see how it works for a while, then the next ... and so on! This is a long way to go but you will be able to pinpoint the app which 'broke your activesync'!
Thanks Junner. Whatever I had installed wrong worked fine for ages, then after about 2 months of not connecting I connected and it didn't like me anymore. If I'd worked it out sooner I would have done it yesterday, but hey ho
Thanks for your words

Cannot access Marketplace or Twitter Updates

Hey all.
Hope you can help. This is driving me nuts.
Out of the blue, I cannot access Marketplace or twitter updates. Email adn Web are working fine over same connection.
See this video for the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxMmdWElZZc
(Sorry in advance that it came out side ways?!)
Its the same on wifi, makes no difference what connection I'm on.
I installed Total Commander and poked around but didn't delete anything etc. Just opened and closed folders.
Anyone got any idea for me?
I'm at a loss. I feel like its my fault but I've gone over and over the settings and did a soft reset. Not willing to do a hard reset just yet as I don't want to install everything all over again.
Thanks for any advice/help in advance!
wab.
This just gets weirder and more frustrating. What have I done? I downloaded "The Channer" with an excellent wifi connection and it says it cannot connect to the internet, asks me can it use cellular connection and still can't connect? Something seriously wrong here. Help!
I have a video of the above uploading to YouTube right now. Seriously, some advice appreciated. Ta.
Edit: Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAygBKFydME
I think it may have something to do with an accidental deletion of files in ConnMgr in Total Commander?: See that mess here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6_9jcAAzbE
I didn't hit delete on any of the files there. Just pressed them and then they disappeared...
Can Anyone help? Could someone please look in ConnMgr to see what files are there? Thanks!
Dont soft reset. Power off and power on. Repeat if necessary.
Thanks Gavinfabl. I've power cycled about 5 times to no avail :-(
Goto settings tab on home screen, select menu, all settings, connections, wifi and turn on from here. Also, try rebooting your router. Can you connect on 3g signal?
Also try going into the connections applet, and edit current and untick connect via proxy if ticked.
Hi again, I have wifi on and it doesn't make any difference. I've rebooted router, can get mail and web fine, also wifi router at work is fine, again mail and web only. Twitter, Marketplace and The Channer all give an immediate unable to connect error. I fear its something more serious. I've no issues with my 3G or HSDPA signal. I've checked and unchecked proxer server and it makes no difference. All logical courses action (to me at least) are proving fruitless.
So, I uninstalled Marketplace and reinstalled it from the mp.windowsphone.com site, restarted my phone (automatically) and then did a soft reset.. now Marketplace won't even open although its listed in the start menu. I am seriously about to throw this phone out the window...
Was going to do a hard reset. Discovered MyPhone won't connect either to backup my stuff. What is going on???
I had same problem with Marketplace and Facebook. Everything else connected fine over wifi and 3G. I ended up doing a hard reset and it has been fine ever since. It was the only way I could get around the problem
i have the exact same problem ive spent hours on the phone with msoft to no avail you have to be a very special kind of stupid to be a customer service rep at microsoft man they are brain dead anyway if someone gets this figured out please post and a hard reset on mine did not work
What other apps have you installed getwet as a matter interest. Are you having the exact same issue as in my videos? Trying to find a commonality here. Its not good that a hard reset did not work for you! I was planning on doing that this weekend.
Happend to me to.
FB, market and widget stopped working but a hard reset fixed it!?
No clue what made it happen, I've installed most apps again and this time it works fine.
