Hi all, i hope this is the right forum.
I have problems with ActiveSync... i dont get it, i have a HTC Touch Cruise with Windows Mobile 6, ActiveSync 4.5, Outlook 2007. Windows XP Pro (SP2) and the HTC connect, but the only thing I'm able to do is to browse the file system on the HTC, i cannot sync. The sync-action in the menus are disabled and cannot even be selected/pressed on either of the machine. Still they are connected, and i can, as i said, browse the HTC:s file system without any problems.
I have read something about "partnership" between Windows and the telephone on several forums on internet, but i have never been given the opportunity to set anything like "partnership", and following the guides to do so does not work. Also, ActiveSync says i'm connected as "Guest".
I have performed uninstall of ActiveSync and cold start on the computer along with reset of the HTC several times. I have also tried to perform the above procedure with the Anti-virus/Firewall software (F-Secure) deactivated all network traffic allowed. Still no luck.
What have i missed to be able to sync?
Regards
Margot
I gave up, installed Funambol instead, it's benefits over ActiveSync is that it actually works.
i posted a comment to this last night, but for some reason,it hasn't shown up!
basically if you right click on the active sync icon ,you can create a partnership.
But what i would do is unnstall active sync then restart the pc , then reinstall it from the download link i have provided at the bottom of this text.
Make sure also that you disconnect your phone from the pc and click start > programs > active sync
then click menu > options. If you have no partnerships in the phone then you need to do nothing. If you have partnerships then that is probably why you cannot create a new one as you can only have two partnerships on the phone.
before deleteing the partnerships ensure that you have backed up all your contacts etc in your phone as deleting any partnerships will also delete the info it is syncing to the pc i.e. contacts,appointments,tasks etc.
I would also click menu > connections and make sure that syncronise all pc's using this connection is ticked and that 'USB is displayed in the box underneath, then when that is done ,click ok.
use ppcpimbackup on your phone(not the pc) to back up all the important info so that you can restore it if anything goes wrong. Just unzip the following file then copy it to your storage card and use file explorer to open it.

Problem is that that option has never existed for me, as soon as i plug in the HTC it is always connected as "Guest" (and has always been like that from the very first time) and there has never been any possibility for me to create or delete any partnership. When i right click on the ActiveSync icon only three (3) options are available, these are "Open Microsoft ActiveSync", "Connection Settings..." and "Explore", all other options are greyed out. And option to create partnership does not exist at all, neither selectable or greyed out.
Also, i do have the correct version (4.5) of ActiveSync, i did even try the English version instead of the Swedish to rule out any impossible "possibilities" for the reason of my problems with ActiveSync.
I have written further on the subject (what procedures i have gone through in my desperate quest to get a partnership between my PC and the HTC) on this link.

No, i'm using a PC, Windows XP Pro (SP2), installed the complete Funabol server bundle and Outlook client plugin on the PC, and installed the Funambol client on the HTC TC. Set up the Server to my needs and everything that did not work with ActiveSync, now works with Funambol -- and all my base are now belong to me.
did you try the settings on the phone to see if you have the sync partnerships setup already? also did you check the sync connections were set to allow all pc connections to usb? I know you have it sorted out now , but just curious with what the problem is, especially as you can connect as a guest. Is there any other software on the phone that is stopping the active sync connection. Or is the firewall on the pc blocking it?
I have just read the forum link you posted.
The reason most of the options are faded out when you try to select them on the pc and ppc is that you have the device connected when you try you need to unplug the device and then the partnership options will be enabled.
P.S. I love sweden, i worked over there for 8 months and Norway. Mainly in the north of sweden. Your beer is too expensive though

Cannot find any partnerships on the phone, not even in the registry.

This i have done. I can only do it when i'm disconnected, but i'm guessing that is normal.

Well, to be honest, the solution, using Funambo, is a last resort option (gee, i really come close to write "final solution" here. ), and i would still prefer to get it to work with ActiveSync. With Funambo, since i want to have full control over where the information goes, i have to run a pretty heavy server on my computer, and it does feels a bit overkill for just syncing Outlook with a PDA.
Anyway, i have tried to disable the firewall and Anti Virus software (F-Secure bundle) and allow all traffic, uninstalled AS, removed the AS aplication drawer, reboot, installed AS, soft reset my HTC, and connect it. It feels like i have tried everything. I even tried to do the complete reinstall process with my network cable to the FiberLAN disconnected to exclude the possibility of failure because of some security restriction reasons in AS, since i have WAN (internet) straight into my computer without a modem, switch, router or anything else in between (part from 127.0.0.1 i do not even have a local IP address, only a public WAN IP).

When the phone is disconnected, the ActiveSync window says "No partnership" and if i right click the ActiveSync-icon in the task manager only two options are available for selection ("Open Microsoft ActiveSync" and "Connection Settings...").
So, neither the PC or the phone has any partnership, still, when i connect them it immediately connects as guest and leave me no option to set up any partnership (neither disconnected or connected). Something is fishy.

*lol* Thanks! I'm no patriot or nationalist so i cannot take pride in being swedish, but i do appreciate our nature and so on... Indeed beer is expensive here, very expensive... But prize must also be put in perspective as it's a part of our still pretty successful national alcohol and drugs policy. It's a small price to pay for the sake of decent public health, and even with our high alcohol and tobacco taxes, the tax incomes from these products does not even close to cover the costs for the damage they indirectly cause.
Also, as i'm a "far left extremist", high taxes is a kind of a turn-on for me.

Hi, I am looking for some help regarding a sync problem I am having with my XDA Mini S. I have recently re-installed my copy of Windows XP Home. Prior to this re-install I was able to sycn with my XDA using activesync 4.1. Since the re-install however when trying to sync I am presented with an error on the desktop machine.
Support Code:86000107
I have trawled the internet to find a solution, but to no avail. I have tried the new 4.2 beta of active sync and tried un-installing the software several times aswell as removing sync profiles form the unit.
Any help would be apreciated. I am using ROM version 2.21.4.1 WWE and Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Thanks
See my responses in a similar thread posted by someone else...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=289256
Thanks for the reply! I had tried searching the forum first, but my choice of keywords obviously let me down.
I have tried both disabling the firewall and ensuring DHCP is enabled. I am using the windows firewall controlled by Microsoft's Windows OncCare Live, and within which all processes associated with active sync have been granted permission to access the network.
The phone appears to be able to send data to the desktop pc, but the desktop fails for some reason. Any further advice?
thanks
Do you hear the usual "bing bong" type noise that Windows makes when a USB device is plugged in?
Does ActiveSync on the desktop even start up?
If so, on your PC goto Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. When you plug the PDA in, does a new connection profile eventually show up in the Network Connections window? It will be called something like Local Connection #6 or something similar, I've renamed mine.
Yes everything connects and establishes a connection. I can browse the device and even upload to and from it. Active sync even tries to sync with the device, but then shows the error detailed above. The XDA was able to upload my contacts to outlook for example after the re-install of windows, but nothing is synced from the desktop pc to the xda.

See the Microsoft Knowledge base..........
............there's something I remember when I had this prob.
For me, it was ZoneAlarm firewall [free edition] which doesn't allow individual ports to be configured, just application rules [you can in Pro version] but in my research, I remember seeing something about Activesync not working even though the exception was set in Windows Firewall.
Try with NO firewall at all - probably best to pull your network cable if you're worried whilst you test ActiveSync with no firewall at all.
I'm sorry I can't post the reference but you should be able to find it again.
I now don't use any s/w firewall - I have a switch router with hardware router built in which shows as 'stealthed' to the outside world on all ports @ www.grc.com [ShieldsUp] and all my WM5 stuff works - ActiveSync and WiFi
I didn't get the error you did, mine just connected then hung whilst showing 'Syncronising'............'cept it never did !!! LOL but I could do all the other things as you describe....just no syncing.
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried without a firewall enabled at all but with no luck. I am trying to work out what is different with this installation tot he previous that worked.
I have found that I need to dissable the Sync of my contacts and it works with the Caldener etc. I have no idea why this is, but its the only solution I can find anywhere and its very frustrating. :roll:
That's a weird one, not be able to sync contacts but can do calendar events.
Have you tried a reinstall of outlook?
If so then, and this is just a guess, it could be that there is something wrong with a particular contact entry that's causing things to go wrong. Perhaps some invalid characters in any one of the many available fields (name, num, email address, website, notes etc).
Some solutions that worked for me
I had the problem with contacts not syncing when everything else would. My solution, which worked for me, was to:
1. disable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
2. sync as normal
3. disconnect device, reconnect device, sync again
4. re-enable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
5. contacts should now re-sync
Incidentally I found many problems with the ActiveSync partnership after restoring the device from a backup. The solution is to delete everything in the \Windows\ActiveSync folder on the pocket PC, go into ActiveSync options on the pocket pc and remove the partnership there. Finally delete the partnership on your PC.
I am running V-Com systemsuite on my PC (which I think uses the Sygate firewall) this firewall never interferes with my XDA Exec but oddly enough does so with my XDA mini S. If I disable the firewall - problem still exists. If I shut down the firewall completely (keeping Windows XP firewall running for security) the problem goes away.
Maybe some of this will help

I had moved the Outlook.pst file to a location other than the default. When I moved it back and created a new profile the error had gone. thanks for the help everyone.
Sounds like it was a corrupt pst file causing the problem then. I'm glad you got it all working now

First of all you have to open some ports in the sygate firewall: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/sygate.mspx
In my experience it's necessary to change the RNDIS driver settings in the mobile phones registry as well!
Use a regedit tool like PHM Registry Editor.
Here are the settings to be added (or to be changed respectively):
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS
Name of the Value to add: MTU
Type : DWORD
Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)
Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer
Type: DWORD
Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)
After a reset my Prophet (XDA Neo) synchronized well with active sygate firewall!
Okay - I was having no end of problems connecting to Activesync and syncing to Exchange (local desktop would work ok), sometimes activesync on the desktop pc would stay at 'connecting' other times it would try to connect, but fail with error code 80072efd or 0x85002003. I also kept getting the error message on the PDA - unable to connect with your network settings (or something like it...).
After a couple of days trying to get it working (and occasionally succeeding after hard resets etc) I started investigating...
So, I checked a few things... Activesync 4.X uses a Remote-NDIS host on the PDA to make an IP based lan-type connection to your pc. Check your settings in
Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Network Adapters
for the 'Remote-NDIS Host'.
Mine had been set on 'Use Specific IP Address'. Change this to 'Use Server-Assigned IP Address'
Now check that it says ' My network card connects to' and that work is selected.
Now check Settings > Connections > Network Cards > Connections'
and check that the proxy server states - This network connects to the Internet' and that there is no proxy server specified.
I don't know if this will sort any issues out for anyone else - but it worked a treat with mine, so having spend days trying to get it working I thought I would share my horribly annonying experiences!!!
Hope it helps,
Liamo
on secoind thoughts - this has caused me more problems... grr I hate activesync - ignore my babbeling....
If I sort it properly I will post again..
i'm off to eat some apple-humble pie.

Okay,
so I uninstalled version 4.1 of activestink and installed the latest version 4.2. I created the pairing and hey presto - it's synching again.
Yup - it's great fun.
ohh, I also hard-reset in between 'cause I was annoyed!!!
;-)
liam
this worked for me.
i too faced the 'spinning wheel' problem with active sync.
i figured out that it was the configuration of the desktop or laptop and not the wizard as such.
1. after connecting the USB, i cud see messages like RNDIS device ready and all.
2. after this click on the lan icon in the taskbar of desktop. it displays all the lan connections. select the one that is for windows based mobile device.
3. in the properties for this lan connection, in general tab, check the box for Internet protocol.
4. In the advanced tab, click on settings for windows firewall.
5. check if activesync is added to the exceptions list. if not, check the box for activesync. click ok.
this should solve the problem. i sometimes have to do each time i connect thru usb.
hope this works.
hey guy i also had the same problem and although the first post was somewhat helpful, i still had to take an extra step in order for activesync to connect properly.
1. after changing to " Use Server-Assigned IP Address" in the connections tab i then had to:
2.go to the "usb to pc" interface and uncheck "enable advanced network funciotnality"
thanks for this post - i couldnt get my activesync to woork for the past 5 days
Activestink 4.2 won't even start on my computer :lol:
I don't really need it anyway :roll:

You should make the activesync on the phone a serial connection instead of a ndis connection, this cab helped me:

It was driving me crazy the first day I had my wizard.
you can also use a registery hack:
use your favourite regeditor;
change
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\“DefaultClientDriver“=“RNDIS“
into:
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\“DefaultClientDriver“=“Serial_Class“
Erase:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“
do a Soft-Reset.
check after the reset if a:
HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been made for serial communication otherwise it won't work.

How can I run this cab if I can't use Activesync? (My PPC (MDA Pro) is in a vanilla state)
in my case was easier because i was able to copy on the ppc but i couldn't copy from it. trry to load it somewhere where you can take it from with your phone.
I've tried d/ling it from here but It doesn't save as a cab file.

This is the trick I found out:
Connect your phone, wait till activesync starts.
Run taskmanager on your pc and kill:
WCESMgr.exe and wcescomm.exe
Go to your explorer (again PC) and doubleclick:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\wcescomm.exe
Activesync will run now without errors (but doesn't sync!).
click on explore, copy the cab to the phone.
Disconnect the usb-cable, start the cab on the phone.
Reboot the pc, reconnect the usb-cable and activesync will sync again

I've make the registry changes but after soft resetting, no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ key has been created. Can you please post the contents of that reg key so I can put in manually otherwise is there something else I need to do to get the key created?
I have also had a similar problem with my computer and my Qtek 9100 not "finding each other" properly for a sync over USB ince the day I bought it over a year ago. Haven't been too bothered with it, as I've synced via BT instead (which works perfectly).
Still, technology that doensn't work properly seriously anoys me. Having tried all other available and suggested solutions I stumbled across the-equinoxe's recepie of reg-changes. After following the instructions I also ended upp with no HKCU\Comm\RasBook\’USB\“Entry“ for serial communication.
Therefore, I would like to repeat sunseakers call for help... Could anyone tell me what the contents of that entry is supposed to be?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks Krinkie.
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!!
I've been trying for days to connect to my laptop and the file above 'rndis to serial' finally did the trick... I'd read elsewhere about turning off your firewall etc, in the end I'd uninstalled all my firewall, anti spyware and antivirus programs...
Thank god for everyone here at XDA-developers... there wasn't anything useful on the Microsoft site.
Is it possible to browse the device through USB without installing activsync?
You can download a small program called wm5torage. This enables you to connect your laptop to a pc as if it were a mass storage device. You can only browse whats on the memory card though, not system files.
If you want to browse through system files then Activesync is the only way i know of doing this. There may be a third party app somewhere, but you'd still have to install it so there's probably not much point..
I tried wm5torage some time ago (v1.6) and didn't work with my TyTN... it worked with my friend's wizard. Don't know if there's any newer version which works.... did you get it working on the Hermes?
Dont take time to try wm5torage on Hermes. I asked Seems there is no way to get it work.

ver 1.71 has been posted in this thread http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=238545&hl=wmstorage but the download page says the file is broken.
I run an FTP server on my TyTN. That way you can access and manage all files on your device via Activesync or a Wireless connection.
This one is basic, but free and does the job well:
http://www.freefloat.com/index.php?...=http://www.freefloat.com/p9614/p9614_swe.php
Make the FTP server point at the root of your device for full access to all files and folders.
i tried the ftp server, but it seems to be super slow to transfer files. I think it's faster using active sync to browse.

Works on wm5 haven't tried it on wm6 yet (will install it soon) it's not free but it's worth it to try out the demo and see for yourself.
So, I have the HTC TyTn II and I sync only with my laptop and use my desktop just to transfer files and maybe install applications. The most annoying this is that ActiveSync wants to create a sync profile with my phone but I always have to click cancel and then it goes to "Guest" mode as noted on the top. I finally dug out the disassembler and nop'd out the call to the Synchronization Wizzard so it enters Guest mode immediately and quietly. Uploaded is A/S version 4.5.0 Build 5096 if anyone has a dedicated computer to upload files/download apps but not necessarily want to keep track of outlook/contacts/notes/etc
Hope someone can find this usefull.
good work!
but, IMHO, dont think this is the best solution

I know that trick but it's not working for me.
When I make that key in my registry, I can connect my PDA to my laptop, and it will be in Guest-Mode.
BUT, when I open Active Sync on my device to sync with my works exchange server, I will not work.
However, when I simply cancel Active Sync partnership wizard on my laptop, (so connect in guest-mode) I can sync fine.
I hoped this would have been the solution for us.
We have a lot of users with there smartphone. Coz they use flexible workspaces The sync on several pc's. We don't want to make a new partnership every time. Canceling the partnership makes it possible to sync with Exchange. But with this ActiveSync version this doesnt work. Also the GuestOnly register change syncing with exchange is not possible.
Anyone a solution?
Activesync Didn't Synch contacts
Hi,
Pls, when connecting my Touch cruise with Activesync, i found a message (Registered owner name does not match that in device information, make sure that is speleed exactly the same) in spite of write down the owner information in the PDA as the same mentioned in Computer name, i can't sych my contacts.
Pls advice
Thanks man, a couple of posts above I said I would test if it worked.
I totally forgot to test it. Now I did and it seems to work perfect!!

I think when using this program to force ActiveSync guest mode, it just adds:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"GuestOnly"=dword:00000001
to the registry.
That tweak is not working for me.
I can connect succesfully, but my device won't sync.
Clicking "sync" on my device, just doesn't do anything.
BTW: I sync with an Echange server through LAN network.

Hi TP2-ers!
Since using my TP2, ActiveSync continuously syncs it with my PC. When I used AS with my old PDA (QTEK 2020i) I could select manual sync, but this doesn't seem to be possible when connecting a WM6 device.
I tried all the tricks (changing registry entries Continuously Update and Update on docking to 0), the exchange server trick to enable the AS schedule button and setting it to manually, all to no avail...
I know of tools like ActiveSync Toggle, but I do not want to disable AS, I just want to sync manually when I think it's time to sync!
Has anybody out there been able to disable the autosync in AS in combination with the TP2?
Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Kind regards,
Piet
Open ActiveSync on your phone, then click on MENU on the bottom right, then select SCHEDULE and set both peak and off peak to MANUAL. After that it won't sync unless you go in and sync it yourself.
Connect to PC
What about when the "Connect to PC" screen appears when you plug it in via USB? For a week or so if I didn't touch the phone it would disappear and Internet Sharing would open and automatically connect! it was awesome, but now the ActiveSync bubble is selected and it opens ActiveSync on my PC. Are there any registry values to reset this?
So open ActiveSync on the phone again, select MENU at the bottom right, select CONNECTIONS, and uncheck "Synchronize all PCs using this connection"

Nope, all that does is go directly into the "Disk Drive" option....It used to open Internet Sharing and connect automatically. I even removed my SD card and it just charges the phone.
Have you tried to end the partnership between your phone and your computer from within the ActiveSync software on your computer? That should do it as well.

First, I really appreciate your help...now, let's make sure we are on the same page. I don't have a problem using internet sharing, that works fine. My issue is that I want the internet sharing program to start on my phone automatically whenever I connect to pc.
Oh, hilarious, I've been responding to you assuming you were the person who posted the original post. I've been trying to resolve his issue, not yours. Oops. As for your internet sharing issue, no idea. I use WMWifirouter for my WIFI and wired network sharing, and it works GREAT, though I do have to click the program icon before it fires up.
SUCCESS!!!
ok, so I went into the battery properties and unchecked the "when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the pc" This reset whatever I was looking for and now when I connect to pc via usb and don't touch anything it automatically starts internet sharing and connects. LOVE IT!!!

The schedule option is grayed-out.
It's also grayed-out on the PC and you can enable it through the old fake server trick, but although it's set to manually, ActiveSync still syncs continously...
Thansk!

No, because I don't want to disable sync, I just want to be able to contol the moment of syncing!
