Today my ActiveSync connection stopped working.
It tries to connect for a while then it comes up with "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. ..."
WM5torage works, so does pinging the Wizard.
Things I tried:
-Using the repair option from Active Sync setup
-Reverting the Wizard to a 3 day old backup made with SPB
Nothing worked :-(
What else (other than a hard reset) could I try?
See below for solution. And don't touch the notification queue if you don't know what you're doing
check if you firewall is blocking the activesync connection
if this is not the case ... good luck
try reinstalling activesync..
or get the latest one..
Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Activesync gone mad
I am having the same problem with activesync not actually syncing my contacts and calender despite making all the noises I usually associate with a successful sync. My contacts are not updated and my calender has none of the appointments from outlook uploaded to it.
I have done a soft reset. a hard reset, gone back to activesync 4.2 and nothing works. I have also tried the usb switch that is mentioned elsewhere and no joy. I have other ppc's running PPC2003 and these are fine and update almost immediately, its only my xda mini s that is being a sod. I never had a problem before activesync 4 and several other machines before the mini s. I should also mention that my outlook files are fine and work on all other machines.
It is bad business that the world is becoming dependant on such bad software as this. It is not progress to make things worse and Mr Gates should be held to task for the problems caused from forcing us onto unreliable software in the name of progress. I was happy enough on activesync 3.8 and WM2003 and never had problems.
Please, Please someone give me an answer before hammer and xda meet in heated discussion.
I have the same problem with my MDA and both my PC and Laptop. I have been trying to resolve this problem for months. It is unbelievable that it is so hard to resolve this issue. I have been posting on this forum and on others and still am looking for a resolution. Maybe someday, someone will resolve this issue. Thanks for your postings and help in trying to resolve this issue. Frustrated beyond belief.
Sorry, this did not work either: Install this cab application and select serial instead of RNDIS, just tap at YES button, and activesync will work perfect
Update to previous
Just an update. I have tried this on another machine using the pst file from my machine and it syncs fine. Clearly, there is some problem on my machine with my software.
I have also removed outlook and reinstalled it. Also removed all profiles on main machine. At present, my calendar will sync but my contacts will not. Outlook tests say there is nothing wrong. Short of a complete software install I can not see another way to cure this other than the big hammer.
Go figure.
p.s.
If I had a hammer and Mr Gates was in front of me I would not be held responsible for my actions.
I found a corporate firewall that was preventing sync, I have to shut down the service and then it worked. Strangly, it would sync over bluetooth without stopping the service. A bit OT, but I can't seem to browse while synced. It asks for proxy info which I type in but it says bad user name/password. I KNOW I'm putting in the right proxy info (it defaulted it from my PC which browses fine) and correct user name/pw/domain. Any ideas?
FIXED
No firewall, no ActiveSync, no connection problems at all.
Fixed it by reverting my database to a backup.
When i had the well known alarm clock troubles i accidentially (= out of ignorance) deleted the whole notification queue.
Word of advice: Don't do that, it'll screw everything up

1. What is the purpose of the Notification queue?
2.What does it have to do with ActiveSync connectivity?
3.How is Notification queue set to make AS work?
Still cannot resolve my connectivity problem with my MDA. Thanks in advance.

Still looking for some help on this.
check this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271174&highlight=activesync
Is this related to the inability to pass-through browse while on activesync? I am able to sync fine, but when I try to browse I get an error saying bad proxy info (which I've check 1000 times). Or sometimes when I'm messing around with the settings I get a "lost connection" message rather than the invalid login/password. So frustrating! Will switching to the serial type of connection help me?
ActiveSync must be one of the most frustrating applications out there. I have tried all recommended fixes and still cannot get ActiveSync to recognize my MDA. The last time I did a sync was 9/06. Too much BS using this application. I have searched all over the web and cannot find any application that will allow me to update my PIM file without ActiveSync. So, I guess I will finally give up on this. Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me. Thank You!!
Hey Guys
Millions of WM users have been plagues by this issue all around the world
Missing Calls: Someone calls you, they hear the ring, but you don't get any notification, not even a missed call
Plus two side issues:
1) Display turns on by itself many times
2) For many ROMs, the signal strength indicator remains fixed at whatever signal it got at boot time.
Well, all your worries are over. The solution is here:

Thanks, i´m testing right now on my HTC Touch.
Well this prolly won't work if you are syncing over the air with Microsoft Exchange Server. You want to have the item available upon arriving, so changing the schedule to manually that you have to sync it yourself.
Just a thought.

That's the rub, uh huh. Myself and mine all have Exchange Servers. (But the title of the OP DID look promising, ehehehe!)
I've never heard of this issue. Hmm, is that because I never find out? No, I do get plenty of missed calls and voicemail...and the other two issues I don't think I get either.
Sounds like good news anyway.
yes, guys it probably won't work if you are using sync with exchange. I intented to put it there but forgot as I and my friends dont use exchange. Have updated the post..
i'm testing it out and will let you guys know what i find on my touch dual.
shantz, on your "fake" server configuration, did you check anything in the data that you want to sync section (ie, contacts, calendar)? i did that initially so then when i tried to sync to my desktop, i got the "attention required" error b/c it couldn't connect to this fake server. so i unchecked everything. will it still work if i keep everything unchecked for the fake connection?
@eyecrispy: i unchecked all the things there...
please help me
please give a clear explanatiion of the procedure..what to be unchecked?what to be given as server address..domain name..?my phone is often trying to connect to gprs..and also showing active sync often in the opened programs...or else tell me which rom to be flashed... iam usin bluerom v3.0 by swiftblade now on my htc touch..please help me iam dying using this phone...
i tried this on my hima..but when i do this i cant sync normally with Vista and i wasent able to use Yahoo2go and got Sync errors..pleaes help
@abhimanyu: You can enter anything in those fields. e.g. fill in "fake" in all of them
@ather90: you can delete the config u made for the server after changing the schedule. delete the config and then try.
will add this to the post as well..

Until this morning, ActiveSync was working fine - now, out of a sudden, it actually starts a synch job but then aborts. What is wrong with it?

A little more information might have been helpful as the psychic interface on the site is down at the moment!
As a very first step, restart your device and restart your PC and try again.
Let's see what if anything that achieves

Resarting both the device and the PC didn't do what we're expecting.

Problem solved
Problem solved after hard reset - I thought.
I searched and found this: Microsoft says that setting another value in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\BodyTruncation increases the size of Calendar and Contacts entries. I had chosen 50000, but this obviousely was too much for Vista/ActiveSync. Reducing the value to 20480 solved the problem, ActiveSync was again executable.

Although this is an ageing thread. I find my self asking the same question. Having recently flashed my device everything has worked so much better. I did find a load of entries duplicated though so I synchronised all my contacts back on to my PC - the one I've used for the last 12 months, and de-duped them. I then deleted the contacts off of my phone, set the PC as the controlling source of info for the synch, and re-synchronised.
My first attempt looked fine until I realised that there were only 25 of 150 or so contacts now on my phone, upon further attempts to re-synch I can't seem to get any on my phone.
I've tried unticking the enable faster data synch - no change
Can anyone offer any advice on what else I could try.
Thanks
I've finally found the answer -
1: uninstall MS Activesync
2: Reinstall MS Activesync
3: Run through new connection wizard
4: Sync
Solution found, thread closed
Hi
I guess a few of you are already faced the known bug of 86000107, while synch. with 2 PC.
I faced that problem after flashing HTC Touch Cruise, a few weeks ago with the HTC Pro and now with the XPERIA.
I contacted HTC, they confirmed the issue, "we are working on that", I contacted MS, they said " we have an AKU 1.2 patch, available for ..." .- but still - all Windows Mobile 6.1 phone (at least I saw) are not able to sychronize with 2 PC.
At pda.net (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1117) its written that the AKU 1.2 its inlcuded (IT'S NOT!).
(2 PC means; 2 x WinXP Prof all fixes and SPs installed, 1 with Outlook 2007, 1 with Outlook 2002 at work).
I tried all work arounds, mentioned in several forums (new profile, pst check, etc.) but no changes.
What about you all guys, how are you handling this, or do you just synch with 1 PC?
All professionals Smartphones are not professional if you can't synch. in a propper way to 2 PC (which is standard since windows mobile 2003).
By the way: I gave all devices back to my shop, moved back to my good boy, called SDA with WM2003, synching within 5 min. about 3.500 contacts and closed to 4000 calendar entries without probs, what a benchmark... never reached by WM2005, 6 or 6.1.
Hoping, anyone can give me a helping hand on that, with a proofen tests.
Maybe someoen of you has a direct link to SE or MS, how they fixing the big bug.
Cheers

Remove sync items and re-add them.
I got this error too. Everytime I solved the problem by removing all Sync Items (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc.), then re-add one by one. It'll sync again with the PC your PDA connecting to. But then if you want to sync with another PC, you have to do that again.
I accepted that way because I mostly sync with my laptop, and when going to my desktop: remove/re-add items.
--- thanks for 1 feedback.
But still. it doesn't make sense to check/ uncheck the items every time, even if you have close to 4000 calendar and contact entries (it wil ltake every time at least 2 hours, because of deleting and synchronizing).
How many of the users with XPERIA do a synch, with 2 PCs?
Are you facing that problem?
Cheers

I reported this error to SE as it was affecting me quite badly. Here is their response (after going through 3 levels of support with each one telling me it's user error):
Thank you for you response.
We can confirm that the response from our back office states that this appears to be a Windows Mobile bug when synchronising over 100 entries, which has been rectified by Microsoft.
However, the fix will be in a future software release (MR2) for the Xperia X1, which should be available in mid-quarter 2 (July).

They then go on their "remove all your sync partnerships and try again" thing which I've heard from them 100 times already.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that this bug will be fixed by SE soon.
Did anybody test this behaviour with the new ROM R3AA?

A Solution
Hi!
In the last weeks I did lots of research and tried many things, but that sync error reoccured even when using R3AA. Now it seems I found a solution and the real source of the problem.
First of all the problem lies NOT within windows mobile, as most people think, but within ActiveSync. The reason and the solution why I believe that is that I use now another synchronization program avoiding AciveSync and guess what: Up to now there has been no error 86000107 or any other type of problem. Everything works smoothly.
For those interested, I am using the following constellation:
- Two PCs (Vista x64 SP1 and XP SP2)
- Lotus Notes 6.5 (XP) and Outlook 2007 (Vista)
- PDAsync 4 by Laplink
Should any problem occur I will report here.
regards loc

... and so you also do not use the ActiveSync tool which is built in WM! The faulty part is ActiveSync of WM, not ActiveSync running on the PC!
In my case everything works perfect with AS 4.5 on my PC and an old WM5 device. The problem occurs with my X1 only! So it's definitely a bug of WM/AS of the PDA.

Yes, didn't think of that, sounds right to me. Nevertheless using PDAsync is a working alternative to ActiveSync and on the bottom line that's IMHO the only thing that counts.

Hi,
I upgraded my trinity to wm 6.5 by PDAVIET and i have a problem to sync mail to my exchange server. First time i managed to sync my mail then it stoped and i'm getting error code 0x80070057 any idea?
Thanks
TeT
Same problem with Chanvi's WM6.5
So I am not the only one with this message...
No idea what it is, or how to resolve it, but i've got the same problem with sync to an exchange server, using another rom.
Probably it is something to do with MS buggy Active Sync.
Sorry, no knowledge how to resolve it... Just letting you know you are not the only one reporting it, and it is a bug in the OS as it shows on at least another WM6.5 cooked rom.

In normal activesync'ing through USB - i have read you untick all the options to sync and retick them one by one after that.
Do you want to give that a shot?
I had this problem after fully syncing once. So i read somewhere, untick all the options (Calendar, email, etc) and retick them one by one.
I dont know why, but it worked for me. So maybe give that a whirl?

Hi,
Doing this fixed it for a little while - receiving emails worked ok.
However, as soon as I tried to send/reply to an email, it went back to the same fault.
Updated a prophet to wm6.5 also get 0x80070057
Is there a sollid solution for this error yet?:confused
Same error on Samsung Omnia
Hi All... just wanted to chime in here, even though I use a Samsung Omnia. Having installed a custom 6.5 rom I'm getting the same error, so would presume it is a bug within the 6.5 build rather than any specific rom. I've seen it reported elsewhere on xda-developers that it appears to only affect those of us syncing with Ex2003 - Ex2007 seems to be OK.
Mike
Ex2007 seems to be OK
'Ex2007 seems to be OK' bu I only sinc with my local outlook acc. and the issue only happens when I try to sync subfolders and/or attachments. Hope there's a solution somewhere soon.
i have had this issue with 6.1 and 6.5 roms...
If i sync with wifi or USB or HSDPA i always get this error.
There is only i thing that bugs me.. the very very very first time that i sync everything works like a charm, the second time sync stops..
unchecking mail seems to work, , but i want my mail..
I found some site on this issue but i lost the url.. it was a MS site stating that is was seemed to be some issue on using exchange and sharepoint..
i am trying to fnd it.. but this really s*cks..
Hi All,
I am not sure if you already have an answer for this but this is what i did which resolved the similar problem for me. Sounds Easy!!
1 - uncheck all (emails,contacts,calendar etc) from options
2- save the uncheck.
3 - go back and check back again but only your calendar and save it and hit sync. Once this is done, check another one and sync and then another and sync and Hopefully this should resolve the issue for everyone who is getting an error for 0x80070057.
Please Note : check one and Sync. checking all and syncing would pop up an error again.

I just tried this, now my Activesync is not showing the error, it's not showing the error anymore, but it's not syncing either, i tried seding out a test email and it stayed in the outbox, even after syncing.
Nevermind, the error is still there.. see screenie.

I tried multiple 6.5 roms and had the same issue. I went to 6.0 and was fine and then tried 6.1 and was able to get 6.1 to work fine (using MobileVista v1.1 on my Kaiser (AT&T Tilt))
I just installed the newest build 21202 from itje on my Xperia X1a and I can confirm that this is no longer an issue in this release.
