Hi all,
I've been monitoring my memory usage to find out which application is using the most memory and which one is leaking. However, accidentallty, I found out that ActiveSync keep on starting itself and run in the background, taking about 300-400K.
I noticed this when I was trying to figured out why my memory seems to decrease when nothing is running (I didn't start any application). However, if I set the MEssaging application to check email every 15 minutes, ActiveSync seems to start itself every 15-30 minutes. This is shown in the "Running" program tab in the "Memory" applet (Control Panel).
I'll kill the ActiveSync process, then later on it'll come back again.
Does anyone know why is this? It's taking up my previous memory...
***********************************************************
* ACTIVESYNC 4.0 TURNS ON AUTOMATICALLY (DRAINS BATTERY): *
***********************************************************
1) Start up AS on your PDA.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id,
password and domain name; these do not have to be real.
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up
on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the
sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to
manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary
exchange server and that will take forever until it times out,
so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of
sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and
will survive soft resets too.
Hi Dodger,
Thanks for your help! I am trying out your solution now and waiting (of course) for the SYnc to my "imaginary" Exchange Server to time out, since it takes ages to do so.
Just a quick question on Step 7 below:
"...so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of
sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and
will survive soft resets too.
So you're saying that once I delete the Exhcange Server from my list, ActiveSync will no longer startup automatically but my regular Sync to AS4.1 on my desktop will stay the same?
Well,
I'm not sure about step 7. I've found these steps sometime on the Ineternet and don't know the author of it (forgot, sorry).
I never do step 7.
The procedure however works fine on my 2020 under WM2005.
I just deleted the Exchange Server from the List and so far ActiveSync hasn't started in my MDA yet. I'll keep monitoring and post if it start-up again.
Cheers!
I am trying to run a program (update weather and RSS) whenever activesync connects. When I use Memmaid or TaskManager to create a notification to run the program when an RS232 connection established (AppRunAtRS232Detect), nothing happens. If instead I set it to run when synchronization completed (AppRunAfterSync), it does run, but too often, because syncs occur every few minutes and the program runs after every sync connected.
(My workaround is to ask for permission to run, but I would be happier to do it automatically.)
Does anyone know how to create a notification that runs whenever activesync is connected, and only then?

Have you tried with "RNDIS interface instantiated", because this works with TaskManager, and that's what spbweather does.
Cheers,
.Fred
Thanks
I hadn't tried that. I verified that taskmgr RNDIS interface notifications work with .exe files, but I am trying to run an skschema program, with extension .sksc. Taskmgr won't take one of these directly, so my procedure was to create a notification using memmaid to run the .sksc file, and then edit it with taskmgr so that it runs when RNDIS interface instantiated. That didn't work, so I tried creating a notification to a .exe file, then editing that (have to switch to event mode, then back to application). So far, no luck.
This seems like a bug in taskmgr, that it will only run a .exe file, but then, it is freeware and a fine program, so I'm not complaining.
Can I edit a notification in the registry? I could set one with taskmgr to an exe. file, then go edit it with total commander to run the .sksc file instead, if I knew where notifications lived.
Memmaid
Here is what memmaid support says:
We can't figure out what is causing this notification not to fire up, according to Microsoft's documentation this should be ok. But looks like there maybe a bug in the OS that doesn't make it fire up.
DinarSoft Support
I'm at a loss; it seems like it ought to be simple enough to run a program when activesync connects, but so far, all I can run are .exe's using Taskmgr; Taskmgr won't fire up a .lnk or .sksc even when I get the setting correct by editing. Can anyone point me to the location of notifications? I tried searching the registry for notifications unsuccessfully.
stopping activesync
is there a way to stop activesync from running in background on my 8525? my pda freezes every once in awhile and have problems with connecting to pc. to connect to pc i have to go to memory and shut off activesync before plugging in usb. i've tried to delete repllog.exe in the notification queue with no luck. help LuXx
Reducing lock-ups and freezing:
A key consideration here is the active sync application that is linked with many lock up problems - particularly overnight or during active syncs auto scheduling process.
A quick way to temporarily shut Active Sync down (as well as any other programmes running in the background) would be say Magic Button or HTC X Button which are quicker than using the running programmes in the memory menu to do this.
However Active Sync can start again by itself via various scheduling routines. There is a way to prevent this known as the "Fake Server Trick":
This 'server trick' was discovered by an Aximsite forum member known as Invid
This post originally created by IamNotMe fourpages.co.uk (Adapted)
"1. Turn on your Device
2. Go to Start > Programs > Activesync. This will open the Activesync program.
3. Tap Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu tap on Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Ticking save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Tap Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen may be set to Every 5 Minutes
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button at the top right of the screen.
Congratulations! Activesync is now gagged from opening on it's own and ruining your life! Your work is not done just yet though - time to clean up and get rid of the now unwanted fake Exchange Server.
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
Edit: Some people have reported that settings "stick" better if you Do Not delete the fake server just leave it, it does not actually do anything anyway - it was just a way to set active sync to manual operation not automatic. Item 3 below, if you leave it in place will therefore show two Sync Connections i.e. the real and the fake.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s). Obviously do not delete these!"
You should also:
A
ensure Active sync is turned off fully after use. Use the likes of Magic Button say or HTC X Button to do this.
B
consider using a scheduler to perform a soft reset automatically say before any alarms go off in the morning. This ensures unwanted programmes like active sync and others do not crash the system when the alarms go off or crash the device when you try to switch on. SKSchema or xbar would fit the bill for this.
C
Avoid leaving device on charge overnight.
D
Running only one or two Today Plugins and avoiding some apps that like to synchronise automatically with internet sources push mail / weather etc. (although with a good neat set up these can operate ok)
E
ensure any applications required on wake up are installed to Main memory (today plug ins, wallpapers etc), with all others installed to SD Card
F
Do not overfill main memory Hermes performs better with a good bit of spare space.
G
Do NOT let your device go to sleep by itself! Always use the on/off button to put it in sleep mode. In fact I would go further and suggest you go to:
Start>settings>system>power>advanced and remove the ticks in the two little boxes.
Just remember to use that on off button. Of course the device should be able to sleep by itself BUT this XDA does not perform well and often crashes if you let it sleep automatically.
H
Always use a task manager to close running applications. You can go into settings, running programmes to do this but it is far easier to have running programmes shown in your task bar and an easy way to fully close them. (That is what a task manager does).
I
Regularly clear out the PIE cache or better still move your Internet Cache to the SD Card. Use a Registry Editor (PHM Registry Editor http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/)
PocketIE Cache in storage card
Create these folders:
\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies\Storage Card\Pocket IE\HistoryAdd the following registry keys, string data type:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]"Cache"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Temporary Internet Files""Cookies"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\Cookies""History"="\Storage Card\Pocket IE\History"

In addition to the fake server trick, I also saw last night something about turning off "advanced network functionality" in Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC.
I just unchecked it within the last 24 hours, but I'm hoping it will have a positive effect on this kind of problem.
Just to clear this up, this *trick* will also stop activesync from launching even when I'm not connected via USB. I notice through out the day I will close activesync 5 or 6 times (I use magic button) it seems to like to launch on it's own, I suspect this auto scheduling was the cause.
yeah it does work well... the only time active sync pops up is right after a soft-reset (it's not in startup folder so i don't know where it's being lanuched from) and when you plug it into the computer (which is fine). Other than that it stays close and the phone runs a lot faster and has more free RAM when active sync is not running. Again, another no-brainer performance fix the OS and Phone Mfg'rs completely missed!

Something wierd happened. I had to do a hard reset. Since it recovered from that, I cannot use DirectPush anymore. The ActiveSync choices no longer list "As items arrive" as a choice. It only lists the time choices and manual. How do I restore the "As items arrive" option?
After hard-reset the activesync connection wth your pc is erased. Erase all activesync connections both on PC and on device and reconnect them via usb and after "pairing" you will have back your options. Prior that deselect 'advanced network functionality' in connections>USBtoPC

There are one or two applications that you may run that can restart ASync, various mail apps, online time sync apps and yes plugging in the cable to do a manually state ASync. Once started AS contines to run at least until a soft reset or using your task manager, you shut it down again. So routinely after doing an AS it will need shutdown.
Whether you need to do another round of the Active Server Trick has been debated recently. It seems that for some folks if they follow up the procedure with the step that says to delete the Fake Server because its job is done; find later that doing this causes the wanted change to manual ASync not to stick.
As the fake server, if set up correctly, does not actually connect to anything, then those who wish may re run the trick. This time not deleting the fake server at the end.

activesync still not working
After following the procedure with the "fake" server name, my sync does not work. In fact, I cannot locate the "exchange server" at all on the screen. Do I have to reload the cd-rom program from scratch? Any suggestions...

Yep, I notice it's there after a soft reset as well. Is there a way to prevent that as well with a regedit?
I did the fake server trick, deleted the fake server, but didn't do a soft reset. I noticed that AS still loads on its own. I respecified the fake server but left it on this time. Hopefully it stays shut off...so annoying.

Getting ActiveSync running again. (Revised)
(Applies to situations where Active Sync fails to connect following the use of third party applications that clear the notifications queue but may include situations where AS does not connect through corrupt or missing notification files)
Using applications such as Scarybear, Memmaid, Pocket Mechanic and Sktools to clear the notifications queue is often a necessity to solve problems with alarms (either not going off or not cancelling etc.)
However, the file repllog,exe will show up using these applications and should NOT be deleted unless it is duplicated (exact duplicate, there may be 4 or 5 repllog files 2 of which are essential and may look like duplicates but are not). This is because these files notify the device that a USB cable has been connected and readies the device for Syncing. ActiveSync will not load if repllog.exe is missing in the TWO forms listed below:
1
repllog.exe
AppRunAtRs232Detect
AND
2.
repllog.exe
AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
Adapted for the following but probably applies to other windows mobile devices:
HTC TyTN / XDA trion / MDA Vario II / VPA Compact III / SPV M3100 / Dopod CHT 9000 / Dopod 838 Pro
Step 1
To Replace repllog.exe - AppRunAtRs232Detect
(i.e. to get Active Sync to detect when you plug in the USB cable)
(Steps written for Memmaid, but Sktools is just as good. To ‘add’ a notification in Sktools just go to notifications and tap/hold an existing entry in the top list and an option to add appears in box drop down box1 enter "Start if RS232 connection......" and then tap gray "..." box and navigate to the windows folder and tap repllog.exe, finally tap OK in bottom left corner.)
1) Open 'MemMaid and go to the Notification Queue tab
2) Tap Add
3) In the Add Notification - Program field, tap the '...' icon.
4) In the folder tree, find \windows\repllog.exe and tap it.
5) In Add Notification - Event', choose 'An RS232 connection was made'.
6) Tap the 'Add' icon.
7) Exit and long-press the on/off button until the warning appears and tap yes to turn off the device.
8) Long-press the on/off button to restart the device and Active Sync should work on connection of the USB cable.
Step 2
To Replace repllog.exe AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
(i.e. to get Active Sync to open/connect to network on detection of the USB cable)
The second notification you need is repllog.exe AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
Follow same procedure as above choosing the option in sktools or memmaid to start when a network is detected OR just use this little application that will make the entry for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...6&d=1155128708
(to use this application save the file to your PC or Device. Put it on the storage card (using a PC card reader if necessary) and tap to run. (it is a PPC EXE file not to be run on PC) You will simply get a screen that has an OK button. Tap it and you are done. Restart your SKtools or Memmaid and the key should be there.
Check you now have both replllog notifications present. You may have other repllog.exe notifications listed but you MUST have the two named above. The sub names of the repllog entries may differ slightly from those given above. The above names are in an abbreviated form as they appear on an untouched device, but so long as you have one that mentions RS232 and one that mentions network or RNDIS you should be OK.
You may be able to run AS now or may need to restart device and or PC.
NB: I have run a full test of the procedures here to test whether replacing these files reactivates Activesync. I deliberately deleted all my notifications (a risky thing as we know) - Activesync refused to start as expected. Using the methods above I replaced the two repllog entries and confirmed their presence. Activesync is working again.
Mike
Hello!
Great explanation, thanks for the information.
Since a few months when I have this problem I've to reboot the ppc and/or the pc untill I discovered this app that reboots the activesync connection
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/resync.htm
I don't know if it do it in the same way than your post explains.
Greetings to all.
oh my god I LOVE YOU! i've spent almost the entire day trying to fix my herald and finally it now syncs!!! thank you so much!!!!
i guess this wont help my email sync problem to exchange will it? no, i thought not
i can sync contacts and calendar items wirelessly with exchange but not emails
EDIT:
I eventually fixed it by the software equivalent of the power cycle. i unticked Email, let it delete all sync'd emails (none) then ticked it again. it's always the easy fix isn't it - i was ploughing through detailed settings, reg keys etc

Deleted Notifications
Hi,
I use an HTC Charmer with WM5 on a Win XP system.
I deleted all my notifications the other day - I have no idea why I thought that was a good idea but at the time I did
I have not been able to sync since.
I am about to try the 'resync' tool - linked from the second post in the thread and will post again either way.
EDIT: Resync did not work for me either.
Will.
Mike,
Your fix worked a treat. Thank you again.

Good news
I think what I need to do is add the second part (i.e. adding the second Repllog notification) as a standard part of this fix or at least get folk to check which Repllog items are there and which are missing without assuming it's just the cable-connected one that's gone. It's been useful to have you as a test case!!
Mike
I have tidied up this thread and revised the 1st post to reflect feedack and perfect the solution. Apologies to those whose posts I edited so they still made sense with the changes I made! Thanks to all for feedback.

Google's always useful
Memmaid
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279
SKtools
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14288
Please note though, that the above fix is designed for folk who have deleted their repllog entries - it may be useful in other situations where active sync fails, but it is not meant to solve other problems. Also if you have not installed much to your device it may be as easy to do a hard reset that will also replace the missing files.
Good Luck

Hi There
I am still having problems - ActiveSync doesnt seems to start - USB connection is not recognised by my VPA Compact III.
I have tried yous recommended steps..
I used SKTools (Notification Queue) to clear off the duplucates entries for repllog.exe ....
By mistake, all repllog.exe entries was removed, So, as you have suggested, I used Memmaid, to "Add" both entries.
Now under SKTooks - Notifications Queue , i see both enrties now:
Application Notify Type Event Status Event Type Arguments
---------- ----------- ------------- ----------- -----------
repllog.exe CNT_EVENT InActive RS232_DETECTED AppRunAtRs232Detect
repllog.exe CNT_EVENT InActive UNKNOWN AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
But ActiveSync still not working - i cant use Internet Sharing as well.
When USB is plugged in, the AMBER (charge LED) lights up only for 1 sec and then turns off and , of course, AS wont work.
If i use infra-red connection, it syncs well!
pls help.
thanks.

Hi there
I'm not sure but those two entries seem odd to me - the InActive and UNKNOWN parts.
Could you try the following?:
1
In my above post there is a link to an application that you download and put on your SD card and tap to install - could you try it. When you run the app it does not appear to do much just ok it and it will close. That app installs AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected.
2.
Using Sktools go to the notifications queue.
In the upper window tap and hold on any entry and an option to "add" appears - select it. In the drop down box at the top scroll down until "Start if RS232 connection..." appears and select it.
In the next box "filename and arguments" tap the grey box with "..." This opens a directory listing - go to the windows directory and scroll untill you find repllog.exe and tap it.
Now tap the ok tab bottom left.
The two required entries should now be present.
Connect or reconnect your device to the PC and hopefully a connection will be established.
Post back with problems.
Mike
Hello Mike. Thamks for your reply.
By the way, I tried your suggestions to create back (add) both the Notifications entry.
I deleted off both repllog.exe entries shown in my Notification Queue (shown using SKtools).
Before I proceeded, SKtools show no entries with repllog.exe.
For the first one, I use "add" function on the MemMaid - Notification Queue Tab.
I checked the notifications outcome, using SKtools.
The result, show below:
Application Notify Type Event Status Event Type Arguments
---------- ----------- ------------- ----------- -----------
repllog.exe CNT_EVENT InActive RS232_DETECTED AppRunAtRs232Detect
Then I used the small script "FixASRunAt.exe" copied to the SDCard, and executed it.
As expected, the Notification Queue in SKtools shown the 2nd entry being added as below. (take note - Event Type its also shown as unknown).
Application Notify Type Event Status Event Type Arguments
---------- ----------- ------------- ----------- -----------
repllog.exe CNT_EVENT InActive UNKNOWN AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
Then I tried Activesync/USB Connect - still wont work!
How to manually add the repllog.exe .... .... AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected
instead of using the small script....
On MemMaid, "Add" notification, on what "event"
What else could cause this problem?
thanks.

Mmmm.. When adding the AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected using Sktools it would be "Start when a network has been connected" - I'm not sure about Memmaid.
The script works well on mine so I think you have more wrong than just the missing repllog entries.
What happens if you connect to the PC and start repllog manually by tapping it in the windows directory?
Mike
don't know wether this is relevant, but it might be to those for whom this fix is not working. I have manged to break my activesync a few times now purely by switching between internet sharing and syncing. An activesynce re-install/repair always sorts me out.

That will work when there is a problem with the PC end of active sync.
This fix is purely to replace essential repllog files on the Hermes.
So the fix outlined here would not fix a broken PC installation of Active sync and your re-installation of Activesync would not fix missing repllog files.

A little more help pse as I'm in the same boat
Mike,
I went mad with memmaid (a little knowledge is dangerous!)
OK, I followed your excellent instructions and used Memaid to add the first ...
RS232_DETECTED "AppRunAtRs232Detect"
I cannot however find an event to add the second one. There appears to be no "AppRunAfterRndisFnDetected" in the drop down list.
Maybe I'm dumb but I assume I select Add and select "repllog.exe" a second time and then it should be in the pull down box.
I can only see.....
Run at time
A PC card device changed
A full device Data restore completed
An RS232 connection was made
Data Synchronisation finished
The system time changed
The time zone changed
The device woke up
Any help greatly appreciated as I am off on holiday at the weekend and want to get things synched up before then

Hi.
Can anyone help me with a scheduled bluetooth sync? Say, every day at 8pm (when I get home from work) and sometime in the morning so I can read my e-mail on the train? Here's what I've done so far:
1. Successfully configured Bluetooth between the MUSICPC and my PDA. I can now go to ActiveSync and select 'Connect via Bluetooth' and it works.
2. Copied the rasbook entry for MUSICPC and put a ' in front of it, so that it appears in the list for "When cradled, sync via..". Set ActiveSync to use 'MUSICPC to sync.
3. Used WakeUp to set repllog.exe to run on a schedule (I also just discovered RunEveryDay, which means I can even make this repeat!)
So, with all this I thought I finally had it, BUT then I got to work and found out my phone now won't sync via USB anymore... I have to go back into ActiveSync and set it back to 'USB Default, which kinds of defeats the purpose of trying to make it all automatic.
I guess my question is, therefore, can I change this setting automatically, or is there a better way to do this? VJBlueSync seemed to do exactly what I wanted, but it is WM2003 only.. Looking on the forum it appears I can do this with a Mort script, but they seem SO complicated.
Help! I am SO close. Thanks.
Mortscript could do that for you, you'd have to write your own script though. It can simulate screen clicks & modify the registry.
