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..?

My xda2 is stuck as a guest on my computer. it won't detect it anymore. it just logs on as guest. i've done everything i know, including reinstalling active sync, restarting computer, disconnecting cradle, deleted the previous partnership.
i opened the active sync program on the xda, it has 2 pc partnerships but both have the same computer id. anyone know a way out of this short of doing a hard reset which worked but onced i restored the back up, it went back to guest hence no synchronization with outlook.
tia.
Same problem
I'm having exactly the same problem.
When I uninstall ActiveSync and reinstall it, it synchronizes only once, then, again, I'm stuck as a guest.
can anyone help me with this? please
Unfortunately, no one seems to have an idea.
What I did (after I read your first message) is to make a hard reset then manually install the other programs.
Now, everything is fine (but still no idea about the problem)
if you dont want stay guest rename your ppc with a other name
I already tried this. Didn't work
This happens to me regularly. It seems to be a quirk of using my XDA II with 2 pcs.
Try deleting the partnership from the PC and recreating it. Should work fine. A hard reset is a bit drastic!
SMW1
If stuck on guest settings:
Kill ActiveSync on the PC using task manager
Take the XDA out of the cradle
Open ActiveSync on PC
Delete all partnerships
On the XDA go to Start -> Settings, System tab, tap ‘About’, Device ID tab and change the name to something else
Soft-reset the XDA
Place it in the cradle
Create a NEW partnership
That's it
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

I've tried to open the WMDC for almost a week without any luck.
When I click on the WMDC icon from my start menu, WMDC logo pops up from the screen says "Please wait while Windows Mobile Device Center starts." for about good 15 seconds... and the poof. Nothing happens.
I uninstalled the WMDC and reinstalled it many many many times without any luck. I even deleted the device driver from driver manager... no luck.
What is going on? I has been working fine until last week?!? and I can't seem to pin pont what the heck is wrong with my computer...
BTW, I have a Titan (Verizon Wireless X6800) with DCD's 2.2.6 rom with the 3.27.00 radio rom... and of course Hard-SPL has been done. I suspect nothing really is wrong with the phone and am pretty sure that it has got to be the computer itself..
Can anyone chime in on this matter? I'd really appreciated all your help.
Can't anyone help me???
try opening sync center first. (control panel/network and internet/sync center), once open, plug in your device then open wmdc.
it might work
Have you tried rebooting the computer? Sounds like a "stuck" process.
make sure you actually have WMDC because Vista says it has it when you install it, but it actually doesn't...
uninstall WMDC and reinstall it. A few had this problem and thats how they fixed it. This is what i did:
1. Uninstall WMDC
2. soft reset phone and killed active sync
3. install WMDC
4. Plug in phone to computer...
I've done the uninstall/install like 10 times. Each time, I went to MS website and downloaded fresh copeis of the file.
Also, I've tried all the methods above...
Thanks for the input none-the-less.
Anyone else got an idea what's going on?
No one has this issue? So my only fix would be reinstalling the OS?

wait a minute? did u say vista? do you have User Access Control (UAC) turned OFF. and are you the ADMIN. pls reply to this before you attempt a format.
After you install WMDC, you should connect your Titan to the PC, to further initialize the WMDC setup. And thats where the UAC may interfere with the hidden setup. Jus see if its the root of all the probs, before you attempt formatting your OS.
Control Panel > User Accounts > UAC [turn off] PC will reboot.
Nope... this didn't do anything...
OMG... I'm getting so frustrated...
Do you know if I can move my MS Outlook 2007 contents to another computer that's running XP? I've tried to use the import/export funtion, but it won't move everything completely (i.e. pix and multiple phone # in one contact). Any idea what I can do about this?

I figured this out after struggling for roughly an hour trying to figure it out.
-disable UAC and any firewall (in my case windows firewall)
it works fine for me
There is an option in active sync on the device that needs to be disabled i can't remeber what it is.
In the usb to pc settings is the enable advanced function box checked ? If yes un check it.
Thank everyone for your input. I have tried every single options suggested above, but still no luck with it. Luckily, I have another computer so I just transferred all the contact and calendar info over and sync'd my phone there instead.
I have reported to MS about this problem, and I doubt they will respond to it, but might as well try. lol
Thanks again for all your inputs.

I'm not aware of a way to migrate backwards with Outlook. If you have Outlook 2007 on the other machine, you should be able to back-up and restore.
As far as hasta_la_VISTA goes, I can't stand it! I RARELY connect my phone to it, after going through exactly what you're going through. I was depending on the stinking computer, and it would just arbitrarily decide it had NEVER seen my phone before. Or, it would just not start the WMDC. I finally changed my email to IMAP, so that the messages stay on the server, and I don't have to sync with the laptop.
I've finally gotten to the point that I have two computers (and my phone). One is a desktop with XP, the other is a POS Vista laptop. Yesterday, it told me that I didn't have enough video memory available, so it was going to switch me to "Basic" video mode...which it did. Oddly, I've got 1GB of Video memory. So, I rebooted it. It's just another attempt at HostageWare by Microsofty.

Hey see if this works...because I was having the same problem and I found this option in the Connections setting...
goto >start > settings > connections
there you will see something that says USB to PC
in there, there is a check box that says - Enable advanced network functionality...
UNCHECK this box click OK and go back to ur home screen connect ur USB cable and see if it works...
if that doesn't do it, the Microsoft website says to remove the 6.1 update of WMDC and re-install version 6.0... hopes this helps...
Hi,
Need some help. Computer does not detect the phone anymore when connected. When i tried to launch activesync on the phone itself, It will start and shutdown immediately.
This is the second time it happened... First time, called up the service centre they told me the only option is to do a hard reset. Which I did... I really dun wish to do that again.
Anyone encountered the same problem?
I had the same problem, after some searching I discovered that if you open up the active sync on your HD2 (tools folder), click on menu, then on option, at this point you have a list of all the items you can sync with your windows outlook. As odd as this seems unclick the "task" and/or "notes", reset your HD2 and try to sync. That was the problem with mine and hopefully it's the same with yours. Hand it over to M$ for yet another glitch in there OS.
Hope it works out.
nope.. i can't even launch activesync from my phone...
Well that is beyond my knowledge a this point, if you can't even access the activesync prompt from the phone even when it's not plugged in, then I think you might have bigger problem than just a glitch. May I suggest flashing the phone... only other option I can think of besides a hard reset; which you say you've already done. Have you tried using a different pc?
Had same problem, had to disable fast usb on phone!!
just try a soft reset? has happened a couple of times to me and the soft reset fixed it.
Mike
soft reset doesnt help... its not with the " enable faster data sync " also.. other computers does not activate active sync too..
Seems like the activesync software on the phone is busted... it will start halfway and terminate itself before the program is fully loaded.
I have the same problem. I had to change outlook profiles on my computer (different issue) and when I tried to sync them, error. So deleted the PC set up on both PCs, and active sync would hang. So tried to remove the PIM file (rename it actually) and now AS will flash briefly and disappear, won't start. Woudl LOVE if someone had an answer...
try creating a new windows account with administrator access that's what do it for me
OK, figured this out, and now that I did I remember going through something previously with my TYTN II just like this. If you need to (bad program exit, Outlook locked, etc) reboot your PC. Also soft reset your phone. Use some file explorer to go to your root directory and rename PIM.VOL to something else. DONT RESET, Pim will reconstitute somehow...
Delete your autosync profile on your PC.
Connect the USB
You will have to go through all the stuff of a new sync, but at least it gets things reconnected. And it beats a hard reset.
PS, as other mentioned, notes can be problematic, best if you can delete all pwi files in your phone\my docs and resync. If some HAVE to be kept, move them elsewhere and sync, then move them back.
