Hi - i'm logged into wireless but when you turn active sync on it still wants to use the phone network - i though the idea was wireless would save your phone data bill - is there an option to use active sync via wireless? Thanks...
then disable it. normally it doesnt use
but this is the problem - if i disable the data connection i get a message saying "stopping data connection will also turn off direct push" and my active sync stops...
what do you want AS to do? a remote exchange sync? I don't know anything about that and i'm not sure if that applies to your issue, but AFAIK AS does not support WLAN connection (at least for local host, remote exchange i don't know)

Pushmail requires a data connection, it won't work over WiFi. Try disabling pushmail and turning the data connection off in the comm manager then go into activesync and try syncing.
Activesync had its wireless usability removed from the desktop portion of the software, the device its self is still capable and can conncet wirelessly when combined with an exchange server.
The issue was that enableing wireless active syncing created and monster of a security hole that could not easily be removed, the idea of active sync is its ease of use plug it in, it syncs, now imagin that but not having to plug it in, any wireless feed that your phone connects too could start a sync, now imagin some dodgy bloke pulling up outside your house and syncing all your data from home.
well anyway that was the idea of why it was removed, exchange added a decent level of protection against this and simply adding a PIN code to your device would stop it working but None the less, microsoft pulled the plug a long time ago before AS3 i think.

you need to redo all the connection settings again if you want to sync on the other computer with previous sync.
is there something i may have missed?
No, this is needed every time you switch computers and want wo synchronize via Bluetooth with both of them. There's a software called pocketmultipartnersync which is freeware. I'm not using it but it's said to allow unlimited connections and is freeware.
even if the other sync is usb cable and the other is bluetooth, you need to reconnect the setting.
With my XDA2, it can be done both ways.
I have just updated my wizard to the newest Qtek-ROM (186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe) with AKU2/MSFP and DirectPush. Everything works fine when I am using a cellular-line.
As soon as I change to a Wifi the ActiveSync tells me the error 85020013: "Your current sync schedule requires a cellular data connection. Please set up a cellular data connection as described in online Help or change the sync schedule." Whats that :evil:? Is there a way to setup DirectPush with a Wifi-connection?
As far as I know Directpush works only with GPRS not via Wifi.
If you disable directpush in your active sync it can connect via WIFI and your error will be gone.
It will sync by wifi even if directpush is enabled but this error will come back every time it sync's according to its schedule.
But your device has to be switched on for this.

I had the same question for days.....
Every peace of information you read about microsoft Direct Push says it's possible to sync using gprs AND wifi.
But.... as soon as direct push is enabled and only wifi is available the dreaded error appears.
It doesn't make sense..... wifi is, just as gprs is, a normal IP connection which supports the heartbeat signal en HTTPs notification.
Perhaps someone could clarify this matter
I can try.
Possibliity one:
Its got something to do with the legal IP address associated with the Wizard. This address is crucial to the "always on" connection since there's an IP socket associated with it for port 443 (or 80 if you don't use HTTPS) on the FrontEnd Exchange server. If the IP changes, then the connection is dropped and has to be re-established. That in itself is no big deal, but I believe that there is no mechanism in place to notify Direct Push on the Wizard that this has happened.
(more likely) Possiblity two:
There must be some low-level tie to the Direct push app from the GPRS connection that allows it to function when the device is in standby mode. Have you ever noticed that your WiFi connection is dropped when you place your wizard into standby mode by pressing the power button?
Yep.... i've noticed the WIFI standy but it still would be nice te recieve pushed mails as soon as i start using the wizard.
All this without having to do the manual operations.
Perhaps something for the future.................
@Sleuth255: I am convinced that possibility two is the right one.
Wifi takes a lot of power (at least with my wizard it seems so) and so they don't let it on when the device is in standby (you are right). Switching off GPRS or GSM wouldn't be so clever for a phone so this is probably the reason for making DirectPush only work with a cellular connection.
Hi,
I have a Touch HD (with Duttys 2.5 ROM) which I use with my works Outlook Exchange system, however I am not wirelessly synching with Exchange because I pick up the bill and am on Orange so data costs me money...
Anyway, my work laptop is set up in such a way that we can ONLY connect to the Outlook Exchange via a wired connection, which is how 99.5% of the time my laptop is used, with my Touch HD tethered to it via the USB synch cable.
Well today, I was working from home and was connected to my home wifi network and thought I would plug my Touch HD in to my laptop to charge it up. Next thing I got a a pop up on the lappy saying that it couldn't contact the Exchange Server, which I dismissed. Next when I looked at my phone my contacts and calendar entries had all been wiped...
My question: Is this normal behaviour? Have I set something incorrectly? My guess is that once I plug my laptop back in to the ethernet at work and synch my phone everything will be tickety-boo... All data is stored on the Exchange Server, nothing is stored locally, so I am guessing that WMDC assumed I had 'deleted' everything from Outlook and wiped the phone. Is there something I've missed?!
TIA,
fM
This is happening to both mine and my wifes phones (both Tilt 2's-ATT data) with our gmails setup on the phones with imap settings. Connecting to her notebook or mine kills the email checks. Both running the stock WM6.5 roms with spb mobile shell 3.5, which seems to disable minila.
The errors reads, "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
Upon clicking on settings, MEDIA NET, This connection is preconfigured. It cannot be modified.
As for the rest of the settings in there, i dont fool with them or else i may lose more than this one issue.

Are ur phone is independently configure for gmail..?
are u trying to connect with pc and again sync mail of outlook/gmail with pc..?
If above is happening please stop one of above activity.
If nither is happened then please reinstall all your usb mobile drivers and try to connect through bluethoot.
I think The reinstall is nesesory because there may driver conflict so.

Check your connection settings in ActiveSync and make sure the "Allow wireless when connected" is ticked.
Gmail is configured independantly on the notebooks. I did all the settings manualy in the phones and also the notebooks. The sync settings we use are ONLY for contacts of outlook. Neither notebook has bluetooth, so that option is out
Allow wireless, on the xp notebook is checked. My notebook is down due to power cord failure, which is a vista system, and i will not be able to check that one until i get a new power cord.
Yesterday i was using the wifes notebook (xp) with my tilt 2 connected with usb cable and i wasnt sync'ed to it. It was connected and i could browse files on the phone, i could even browse internet pages with the phone, or connected to messaging servers via IM+, just cant check email.
I dont beleive i have anything installed on the phones that is going to create any type of network conflict. I just dont get why gmail cant go out to the internet to sync when connected to a pc, even if it is not sync. It was the same problem on my notebook if i was sync'ed or not.
Hello,
I searched the forum but found nothing...
is there a way that active sync downloads automatically new exchange stuff ONLY from a wireless connection (I disabled data) ?
no, not possible. Activesync only works with a direct cable connection, serial or TCP-IP, or bluetooth. The software is old and cranky and Microsoft has essentially not updated it in years and is stuck in a 2002 timewarp. They do not have anyone actively working on it, now Windows 7 connection manager may allow wi-fi, but I have not seen that to work either, as it is configured to work on with serial ports, USB or bluetooth serial. I have not seen wi-fi able to emulate a serial connection and that is what is required.
Maybe someday, but not soon, I am afraid.
More thoughts, if you mean getting email from your server, through activesync, yes that is possible, as you only need to open activesync connection settings and check the box to allow wireless connection while the device is connected. If this is what you mean, then yes you can.
Sorry, I think you misunderstood me, let me explain more clearly :
I'm speaking from my touch pro 2 mobile device, not from my PC
What I mean is when you have a working data 3G (or whatever) connection on your WM device, you activate push mail and tell active sync in the schedule options to retrieve emails, calendar, contacts whenever "item arrives".
Now, from what I know and from what I was been able to discover, this only works if, like I said, you have a working data connection.
Since I don't have any data connection, i would like to keep the same behavior but with my WM connected to a Wifi, in order that he retrieves stuff only when connected to a Wifi

I didn't find that setting (while im connected to a Wifi)
In active sync when I tip "Menu", I get :
Options -> there i can delete the sync profile or edit it
Schedule -> there i can say when to sync stuff
Status -> the status
Configure server -> same menu than "Options", but directly in the edit mode
Connections -> there it says :
When cradled
Synchronize all PCs using this connection:
'BlueToothActiveSync
'USB
Connect via Bluetooth -> bluetooth stuff
so please let me know what you mean with "allow wireless connections"
ho, btw i'm running wm 6.5 (energy rom)
Edit : I forgot to add that what's weird is that if i synchronize manually (also trough wifi) it works..so why isn't there some option to made it work automatically ?
I've seen that happen too - connect via cable with the wifi active and it will start synching, then disconnect the cable and viola - the tilt2 stays connected via wifi. but how to initiate the same connection without the cable, that's the great mystery.
auto connect with wifi?
