I've never had it suddenly appear on screen but I've often found it's in the Task Manager thingy program list when I know I haven't used it.
I've only had my Touch Dual since just after Christmas, so I am not sure if I am thinking about that or my previous phone, or even my seperate PDA, but I think it's happened with all of them to be honest.
And I don't use Active Sync that often because I can never find a handy cable (even though I've probably got at least 7 with all the previous phones, digital cameras, media players etc used by the family). I need a blue tooth dongle
I had this problem also, but i figured out that it was a problem with a program.
But i can't remember which one it was.
Maybe it was PhoneWeaver?
But it was only a option i set in a program i use.
After deactivation everything was fine again.
ActiveSync in Taskmanager is normal.
It runs the whole time, waiting for connection, thats no error or Touc Dual problem.

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had any success running Money 2005 on the Exec and getting it to sync with their desktop Money data?
I've been running various versions of Money and more or less each of the XDA's (XDA, XDAII, XDA IIs) over the years but I've just got the Exec and it seems like Money doesn't want to play nice on this one. It strikes me that its an Activesync 4.0 issue as the Money 2005 application works fine in stand alone mode on the Exec, but if you try and sync it with the money files on the desktop PC as soon as Activesync starts up a prograa box pops up and just says "Reading device Databases" - unfortunaly it just hangs there doing that for eternity, unless you disconnect something, in which case Activesync crashes.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced any issues.
Cheers,
Dave
I didn't even know you could run Money 2005 on it! I have the PC-side program for it, do you have a link to the PPC version? Then I can play and let you know what I find.
Here you go.
That particular version worked fine on the XDA IIs, but something about this new configuration its not liking (at least on my desktop and laptop) and I would suspect that its on the software side.
Thanks.

Well, I posted a similar query on an MS Activesync Newsgroup this morning, and someone have just come back with the following:
I've had similar compatibility issues with Money 2005. Apparently some changes to WM5 make it incompatible, but MS isn't addressing the issue. I run a Dell Axim x51v and struggled with the same issue, but on top of that, I'd occasionally get the today screen to just crash. The crashes only started occuring after I installed Money, so I had suspicions that the two were related. My solution was actually simple:
Go to settings: Personal tab: Today icon: Items tab: uncheck Money on the list. Syncing became much more reliable and the today crashes stopped altogether. I don't know if it was a file lock or what...but it worked.

Unfortunatly this still appears to do diddly for me - still hanging at the "Reading device databases".
I'm beginning to get a little narked at MS right now. :evil:
I've been happily using SBP Finance for a while. It's fully compatible with Activesync 4.0 and Money 2006
Is anyone else finding that their bluetooth is really slow at sending and receiving items. Also that there is no way to send items direct to a contact that is in your partnership list, you have to search for them every time you want to send something. If someone has found ways around these problems, please let me know.
an adaption of the Blue angel's bluetooth interface would be lovely. It had loads of options, and let you explore remote devices. This is just like the XDA2.
Would it be possible to port the BA software onto the wizard? I think it uses a different BT stack.
they were able to port the wizards rom to run on a blue angel. I guess they should be able to use the blue angels bluetooth on a wizard.
Please help - is so annoying
Ok, after a little research i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 .It has an app which i installed and has helped a little. I can now send images direct to people i have paired with without having to search local bluetooth first. The thing is it only sends images to paired people. I want it to also send sound and video files. When in file explorer, holding down on an image brings up the extra option of "Send image via bluetooth" which then allows to send by the already paired devices. When doing the same on videos and sound, it doesnt give this option. Maybe this can be done in the registry, but i dont know alot about that so maybe someone could help?
i tried this on my kjam and i had a problem with it, so i uninstalled it.
the problem i had is that the bt keep switching off by itself with no reason, even if i was already syncing over bt, the connection is lost suddenly and i found out that the bt is off (even though the bt icon on the system tray shows its still on).
i don't know about you guys, but i had this prob twice, i reinstalled it again and gave me the same prob.
i can live without it.
Ok, maybe that stack is not all that great. After soft reset lost all sound, and BT does not work properly. Uninstalled and back to normal. So again is there any way to send to people in your paired list without having to search for them every time. Is becoming a pain coz some new phones turn off discoverable after 60 seconds. So they have to keep turning theirs back on. Its a simple option, dont know why they didnt put this in. Any help?
I haven't seen more than 50-60KBps. Has anyone else seen higher transfer rates?
Wizard's BT is useless. Buggy, slow and poor.
And it is not v2.0, it is v1.2
It does not have EDR.
It doesn't even have PAN ffs... :x

Info about BT in wizard. Directly from BT CIG's site. The problem is not with the Wizard, it is in usin MS BT stack.
thanks for that emmeborn, if the problem is the stack, do you know of a stack upgrade which works good? I tried the stack form the blue angel, but stuffed up my phone, so uninstalled it.
actually, i just looked at those pdf files, and at the bottom where it has the revisions, seems they have launched a version around 1 month ago. Would this be a software or hardware update. If its software then i reckon this could solve alot of problems im having.

It is the long awaited rom update. A test version of that rom has already leaked. You can find more info in the Wizard upgrade forum topic about that version.
I am awaiting the localized swedish version of that rom and the latest about that version is that it should be released mid March.
Hi there,
Is there someone using TomTom Navigator 6.03 and experiencing the same strange thing I do?
Everytime I start TomTom the sound is off; the sound off icon is on screen. I have to tap Turn on sound in the preferences menu twice in order to have the sound turned on and to have the icon disappeared.
When I exit TomTom and start it again, the sound is turned off again.
Annoying and no idea how to fix that. Deleting the navigator.cfg didn't help.
MapSettings.cfg in the current Active map folder - is it set to read only per chance? - Mike

Hi. I am having exactly the same issue here with TT. I've checked my mapsettings.cfg file and it's not read only...The only thing I can think of is it is because my map is installed on the microdrive, not an SD card
Any help appreciated too!
Merlin
Mapsettings.cfg is not read only and my maps (everything on TomTom) is installed on the Storage Card.
I have exactly the same installation running on my Touch as well, and no problems at all. Seems to be something on my X7500 then.... but what!!???
I am having exactly the same problems, it's been driving me potty! TT is installed on storage card, no idea whats causding it!
Same problem here...
However it started when I updated it from 6.01 back on my old Wizard. That worked properly. I did discover that you don't have to go to Prefs... you can get the sound back on by tapping the joystick to the right. Also, it doesn't happen when it's on AC power, but only on battery.

Not a bad workaround, just wish we could find what was causing this.
Just to clear things out, but who has this problem with official and legal versions of TTN 6.03? - E.g. has it something to do with cracked/patched versions?
Mine's legal...
Although I'm starting to regret messing with TomTom. Their customer service is awful. Unless your device is one the approximately 5 devices they officially support, they'll wash their hands of you if you call for help saying your device is "not compatible." I called for support on my Wizard, which to be exact was a Cingular 8125. That phone is not on their list of compatible devices, but its twin, the T-Mobile MDA, is on the list. I called and said I had an 8125 and they refused to help me. I hung up, called back, and said I had an MDA. They tried to help me, but when they didn't have an instant answer for me they just said, "Sorry, we don't have that problem on ours" and started spewing out useless canned knowledge base articles. For heaven's sake, the MDA and 8125 are the SAME PHONE! Also, don't tell them you have WM6, because WM6 is "not compatible." Basically, if you have to call TomTom support, lie through your teeth. I'm waiting for OnCourse Navigator, due out in October or November, and then I may abandon TomTom.
Just to compile information...
OK Let's see:
1) I got my TT6.03 legal with legal maps and I got the problem.
2) Running my old legal TT6.01 I didn't had the problem.
3) If I do it using Prefs I need to activate twice the sound in order to get the mute removed
4) I got the problem running on baterry, using the oficial car charger and using the wall charger. I got the problem all the time no matter what power source I'm using.
5) The "Move Joysting to Right" workaround works great. Thank you very much. That don't solve the problem but makes my live much easier.
So... that's the point. I'm running TT6.03 (legal) over WM5 ROM in spanish.
Best Regards,
mahjong
So.... resuming: it's TomTom Navigator 6.03 with the combination of the HTC X7500/Athena.
The problem isn't there while running 6.03 on a HP iPAQ hx4700, Qtek 9000 and HTC Touch.
I have 6.030 on WM6 English on my Athena and I don't have this problem...
I don't have this problem either. I'm using version 6.0
LOL !!!!
Ok man !!! Is your connection GPRS/EDGE/UTMS/HSDPA is online ?
Because if there's an active connexion Tomtom start allways with the sound off.
Try to disconnect before launching Tomtom

Then that goes for version 6.03 only. With 6.00 it didn't matter wether the data connection was active or not.
Anyway, I need to stick with 6.03 and live with the mute problem, since 6.03 can work with my voices stored on storage card (instead of MD) and performs a fix in only seconds (instead of 1 - 1,5 minute).
No sound after starting TT6.03
I have the legal version of TT6.03 and I have the problem too. I only have this problem when my phone is connected to the internet using gprs, umts or hsdpa. If their is no connection I do not have this problem. It also happens on other devices for instance the HP iPAQ 6340 and it is a know bug. TomTom know's about it. It will be solved in te next version.

BINGO!!! We got a winner here ladies and gentlemans.
Mine has the connection online all the time due to my push-mail solution (Blackberry Connect). I did some test shutting down Blackbery Connect before starting TT and "the problem" just gone.
Thank you. Anyway since I must have connection online all the time the "Joystick move to right" trick is great for me.

Guys great thread, I am glad to see someone else is struggling with this strange issue. Its really no big deal, its just annoying. Any updates on this issue yet?
And here was me thinking it was my *cough* test *cough* version. Loving the 'fix' taa v much. I might have to write a mortscript that recycles the data connection, rotates the screen and starts TT.
tomtom 6.02-7910 works fine
I also was having problems with tomt 6.032 but the problems does not seem to exist in tomtom 6.02-7910
Hi guys, took delivery of my HTC Touch HD just before Xmas, what a nice piece of kit
One "issue" I have with it is the synchronisation of Outlook contacts/calenders etc via Activesync. How can I set up Activesync so that it automatically synchs, over Bluetooth, whenever the HD is within Bluetooth range of my laptop? On my old Nokia N95, that would automatically synchronise every 15 minutes whenever the phone was within range of my laptop. With the HD, I have to manually select on the HD to connect via Bluetooth, which works, but it's a manual process!
Any help gratefully received
Thanks
Gav
I had a solution a long time ago with mortscript.
But it was not very clean...
I'am also looking for a solution to sync my contacts every day by bluetooth...
me too, even nokia can get this right, its not exactly a nice feature, its a necessity
It's not (easily) possible to do what you are requesting because there's a fundamental difference between the ways ActiveSync and Nokia PC Suite work.
In Nokia's case, the connection is initiated by PC. In WM's case, it's vice versa. This means that if you set your phone up to scan the environment for a bluetooth host computer all the time, it will drain your battery very soon, so it's not practical.
A workaround I can think of would be a program on your WM device and on your PC. Your PC would search for your phone periodically, then if it's found it would send a specially crafted file/message which would trigger an ActiveSync connection on the device.
Alas, such a program doesn't exist, and I'm not even sure it's possible. The problem here is that you want it to work even when your phone is suspended, and no BT files will be accepted in this state. If you have to wake it up to sync, it becomes not much easier than launching sync via a shortcut.
The phone being suspended isn't necessarily a big barrier, it wakes up when I put it on charge anyway so that would be when I would want it to auto-sync.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but was wondering if anyone has made anything alike in the last 3 months?
It's little things like this that make me favour Nokia just a little bit more.
This is possibly the only thing that annoys me about my HD. Ny N95 was flawless in its auto-synch via bluetooth, but alas my HD is severely deficient in this matter. I can't even get mine to synch at all via bluetooth, never mind automatically!
Yes, it does seem to have many flaws. I have to try and connect via bluetooth about 10 times for it to actually succeed, most of the time it doesn't detect the PC at all and then when it does, it fails half way connecting?!
Little piece of software upgrade would be so much better..
How about a shortcut? How can i map a file to start the connect action for Bluetooth sync?
Hey, i'm interested in the same thing.
look @ thread -> 289197
can be useful? can anyone have updates? thanks
Michele
Up for this. I am also looking for this kind application. My Nokia X6 does this flawlessly but not on my Android phone. Currently, I am looking for an application that can sync my contacts and calendar from my XP laptop via bluetooth Android phone... It's not available yet on the android Market. Please help thanks...
Hello! This Monday i went and got a HTC Hero.
Have fixed with to and from the whole week, and are now starting to get it like I want it with the right software, root, recent ROM, etc.
BUT!
I have used much of the week to search around the forums for one thing I can not possibly get to work.
I have a Nokia BH-602 which I previously used with my E75 (or because of this issue is still using)
Now the problem.
Paired with my E75, I got all notifications of BH-602, ex. sms, msn, mms, email etc, all the sounds that the phone did, even custom ringtones.
In my HTC Hero is the only conversations that I can get the BH-602 ...
WHY ?!?!?!
No, BH-602 is not an A2DP headset.
If that is the case that Nokia has had this to work with just BT1.5, why not the android? Or why there is not a SINGLE little answer somewhere on the net that says more than "it does not, you must have A2DP"
It's not needed because it works with my nokia.
Even a single small ugly hack or something, anything!
I want my hero, for which Eddie Izzard says;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C_HjWr3Nk
"This is the one! I will not have to work again!"
Help please anyone, if nothing else, a laugh a little at Izzard, so wonderful!
mmm
Windowspowered mobile can do this with a small registrymod...
Not good.
Go into the bluetooth settings on your hero and find where your device is shown.
Long press on it and edit options
Make sure Media is ticked.
This will play everything through the headset
Did this work for you?
Afraid not
I don´t have the media option though it is not an A2DP headset... Byt why, oh why does nokia and WM succseed with this?
