Over-the-air sync

Can someone please help to do over-the-air sync with Qtek 9100.
I have been trying for this a long time and never got it working.
Thank you,
Florian

Wi-Fi synching has been removed frm Activesynch 4.0 onwards by MS due to security concerns. That'll be why you can't get it to work.
If you want to synch using Bluetooth then search the forum as this has been discussed in length on several threads

Thank you for your prompt answer.
I was looking for internet sync thru Wifi or GPRS/Edge.
Is there another app out there that can do the job?

I believe some one has released a free patch to override the 'Wifi syncing in AS 4.0'. I don't have the file handy- but will try and post later if the original poster still wants it.
I've not tried it myself since I'm still using WM2003 and AS 3.8.

I would love the patch to enable WiFI active sync if someone could post it. cheers.

well, it seems to be a solution:
http://www.airscanner.com/downloads/airfix/airfix.html
didn't try it by myself, so - no idea if it's usable and functional. but - always one more option ;-)
cheers,

Yes, that's the same link that I got the patch from.
Maybe someone can try it out and post back results?
Actually, just read the text from the link and it quotes the following:
"Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection. Rather, it is a tool that allows you to enable the wireless network after you are already synced with the PC (e.g. with a USB ActiveSync connection)."
Perhaps not what people were looking for after all...

I am currently trying to set up the app.
Expect a post shortly.

Did not find a way to make it work.
Also their download page states :
Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection.
As I doubt they have a solution...

You can sync over the air via GPRS or WiFi to an Exchange Server without a problem, I do it everyday; to a PC I don't now if it's possible anymore.

The Airfix app is designed to prevent active sync closing your current wifi conex, nothing more. This will allow software developers to debug network code and allow you to keep a wireless connection whilest you sync. Most home users will use activesync passthrough from their pc->internet rather than wifi-> internet and so notice no difference

Funambol Open Source Push Mail

Has anyone ever tried this out?
I am not sure if you need to install the server application on you workstation or on the actual exhange server. Would like to give it a go, as my company I work for is so slow in implementing any kind of mobile mail acess (we will have WM10 with 8mp camera pocket pcs before my work has mobile mail access). :shock:

you could try intellisync Wireless email http://www.intellisync.com/pages/Products/Express/
I have a similar problem with my company being a bit slow on the uptake...this works perectly...really pleased.
You install an application on your desktop and on the device (all very simple) The desktop app syncs your mail etc to a webserver, then the app on the universal connects to the webserver and sync it down onto the device. Very slick. Bear in mind that you have to leave your desktop logged in to your corporate network all the time, which isn't a problem for me as locking the pc doesn't affect the functionality.

I have seen that, but I don't want to use 6 different programs and places to sync. My dad has Intellisync Mobile Suite 6.2 on his Jam and works like a charm, but I can't get my hands on the original installation package.
I can access my work's e-mail via the web through webmail, but I don't know the settings like port numbers etc to get my Jam configured to connect. Is there anyway one can find out these settings without asking IT, as they are still testing it and won't give it to me at this stage.
Surely if you can connect to webmail (exchange), then my Jam should be also be able to connect. Imate Mail also uses webmail and it works on the JAM.

Not sure what you mean...there's one app on the pc and one on the ppc.

I was just being sarcastic.
I know on 2 apps, but you still have a "middleman" where you data needs to be sync from the pc, then from there to the ppc, back to the web server and again back to the pc. I want to go straight to the exhange server, which I should be able to do if I can get my work's webmail settings.

I see! Have you looked at xmail from o2...similar but your ppc connects directly to the agenct on the desktop...

it does
it works so far, but it is a pain to configure.
i hooked it up to my mail server.
with the admin tool you need to (under win or x) configure a user, device and principal and there you go.
what the manual does not tell you: you have to replace PipelineManager with PipelineManagerGeneric in ds-server/config/Funambol.xml to get it to work with your IMEI, or configure your device with IMEI syncml ..
It smashes my funny german umlauts, though. There is a patch (already included in Funambol) that should configure my internal storage to use utf-8, still its using internal iso-8859-15 (what ever that is for..)
I didn't get it to Unicode until now..
I have not tried to connect it to my mail server.. and i have not tried push email yet..

I managed to get exhange activesync to work. But since last night I can't get internet access via GPRS and this morning I can't get VPN access. No nothing wants to work anymore.
Looks like I have to reload my ppc and start from scratch, I have checked all my settings and see nothing wrong.

So I reloaded my Jam this weekend, connected to the work's mail server via GPRS and got my stuff.
Came to work this morning, changed nothing on the pc's settings, plugged in my Jam via USB, pressed sync and it connect without giving me any funny error messages that I got on Friday.
It is weird that it works now with the same setttings and now juts because I reloaded my Jam, it works. :x

ActiveSync 4.1 with Win2K

Hi
I have a KJam and I am trying to sync it at work. I downloaded AS 4.1 on my Win2K pc but it keeps giving me the Retrieving Settings message for ever. I dont think there is firewall on the pc and I need some help to get it running
Thanks a lot

any help guys, still have the problem

XP Needed
i think you have to use microsoft windows xp to sync your wizard.

So no luck with Win2K, I thought that people can do it with Win2000 and aslo from Microsoft Site AS seems to be working on 2000
Thats really bad

Me too
I also have this problem with one Wizard - my wife also has a Wizard, exactly the same which has no problem syncing to the same PC. I get the same message you get " retrieving settings" which hangs for ever until I disconnect. I'm on W2k.
Did you find and answer? It's obviously not a W2k issue if one Wizard can sync.

No I cant still sync with WIN2K, someone suggested that you do hard reset and it should work. I tried on mine and still didnt work

A random guess- applied SP4? Also which firmware version you are using?

Finally I have it working!
William - Yes, I'm on SP4
Akronica - I've finally managed to get both Wizards sync'ed. Here's what I had to do. Firstly, I'm using Sygate Personal Firewall, so I follwed the directions via the link here to set up the advanced rules. See http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm This also might be useful to you for troubleshooting.
Then I added/altered 3 registry settings in my PPC (as also mentioned in the above link) using a freeware called "PHM Regedit". I downloaded the PHM Regedit from here:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=31
Just a note: I obviously couldn't use the ActiveSync installer to get this product installed, so I copied the entire directory over to my phone (via mini SD card) and then tried to launch each file. The first few didn't install successfully, but I finally did get one to install OK. The file that worked for me was "regedit_Mrln_ARM.CAB".
So, after all that I connected up and as soon as the cable was in, I soft reset the PPC. Sure enough, it made a new connection via the connection wizard and off it went.
Another note: I also turned off any passwords on the PPC, just in case. I'll do some more playing and see if this makes any difference.
Hope this helps!
Rob

Interesting
On mine it connects (win2k SP4), but drops the connection about 60s into sync.
:wink:

I've now confirmed that the passwords had no impact.
I don't have any problems with it dropping connection either.

Wow yeah, I've had absolutely no problems synching with my win2k sp4. hm.

Can someone please help me with my Wizard (xda mini s) ?

Hi, I just bought the Wizard and spoke to Ashe (he runs the site) yesterday. he suggested that I come here for help since it won't synch beyond "register settings" after i loaded the sw and plugged in the device(it just hangs there). So I can't synchronise my ms outlook or anyhting for that matter
Pretty demoralising really since that is why I bought it
I am using XP professional on a corporate license and it is probably down to that.. It could be some settings but i don't what to do with it? I am also using Symantic antivirus, ms office 2003, the usual MS programs
Would love some help to get my new toy working as it should, maybe someone out there has had the same problem and knows which settings i should disable?????
Thanks
Graham

try disabling antivirus.

First thing to do is to check if there is a firewall running. If so - disable it and try again. If it still doen't work the the problem needs further investigation.
If it works, then the firewall needs to be set to allow the connections required. Do a search here and on Microsofts web site for Activesync firewall settings - there are lots of posts about it.

Have you got the lateset version of activesync (4.1)?
If not - head here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

Funnily enough, my O2 XDA Mini S refused to work when i used ActiveSync 4.1. So I went back to the version 4 on the CD and it worked first time. Stupid thing.

Active Sync 4.1 and VPN - PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hi All,
Same ole Active Sync Error message problems that others have complained about:
"Support Code 85010014"
I am using Active Sync 4.1 and Outlook 2003. I am using my company's laptop so uninstalling/installing Outlook was not an option. I do think the error is appearing b/c I am trying to sync while Outlook is off-line. Common sense says just put it on-line. Tried that! My Outlook will only work online when our VPN is connected but is appears that Active Sync and our VPN are not compatable. Connect device - VPN gets disconnected. Connect VPN - then device is no longer connected. Our VPN is by Nortel. Any suggestions??
HELP!!!!!
edit: added Active Sync version

bump....I really need help with this one. Without being able to sync with my Outlook it almost makes the device useles.... Thanks.

Hi,
Have you tried moving your storage to your computer? I did it on my corp laptop and I think it was part of the fix for me. I believe it is called remote store if you do a search in help you should find the directions. If not then post back and I will post the ones our it folks set out.
Or perhaps you need the usbswitch.exe program to change the connection to usb serial then it might not knock off your vpn connection.

Where else to try???
Ok...so I got it that no one can figure out a solution to this problem. Can someone please suggest some place for me to go? I tried searching Microsofts website for a forum/newsgroup I can post this question to but I came up with nothing. Any suggestions would be really beneficial!!!!
Thanks,

How are you connecting your device? Bluetooth,USB, WiFi...? Maybe some more details.

You shouldn't need to reinstall Outlook. Try the following:
Right Click on "Mailbox - Person Name".
Choose Properties.
Click on Advanced.
Click on Advanced.
Tick "Use Cached Exchange Mode" (make a note of the old setting).
Click on General.
Select "Manually control connection state" (make a note of the old setting).
Tick "Choose the connection type when starting" (make a note of the old setting).
Tick "Connect with the network" (make a note...).
Close the dialogue with "OK", then all other dialogues.
Close Outlook.
Re-open Outlook.
Choose "Connect".
Allow Outlook to synchronise.
Close Outlook.
Re-open Outlook.
Choose "Work Offline".
Disconnect your VPN.
Plug in your phone.
Regards,
Jon "The Nice Guy".

Another tip???
Jon,
Thanks. I just tried that and still got the error message. I followed every strep you wrote, one-by-one!! But the error message still came back up. :?
Also, I am trying to do this via USB. The laptop is not BT capable and I broke the IR window during one of the many drops it suffered from.
Thanks.

SOLUTION FOUND!!!!
ALAS!!! A solution has been found. I found the link to the site below in the Microsoft ActiveSync newsgroup.
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync/msg/7c134690e78923cb
Basically they suggest removing a script blocking of an antivirus program via the Windows Registry Editor.
It worked like a charm. It took a few minutes and I still haven't tested to see if it can be done while Outlook is on-line but I can deal with syncing while it is off-line.
