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

Before I set up push email my phone synced to the exchange server fine via USB, but whenever I sync my phone to my pc via USB now it syncs to the exchange server via GPRS not USB and I get an error on both pc and phone saying it is unable to sync to the server, I have tried disabling push and GPRS but still my phone won't sync to the exchange server via USB, this is reall annoying I can sync via GPRS but not USB, I don't mind this but the error message on the pc and phone I get each time just bugs me, anyone else have this problem and know how to sort it out...?..
check to see if you have the ce tificate installed. For the push to work you need exchange sp2 installed and security feature pack installed on PDA
what certificate adn where do you get it from, the PUSH is workign fine have AKU2 and SP2 i'm talking about syncing via USB are you like blind?, re-read my first post..
browse?
Can your PPC browse Internet sites while connected to your PC via USB?
I was experiencing this very issue for the longest time and the thing that worked for me was changing the connection settings in Activesync on the computer. Here is what I did:
File => Connection Settings => This computer is connected to: The Internet
For some reason, when it was set to Automatic the USB sync would work for a while and then stop altogether. Good luck.
When I connectg my 8525 to my computer and Activesync starts it never syncs with my exchange server. It does this wirelessly but never when connected to my computer. I get the error: The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions. Support Code (80072efd)
Does anyone else get this and is there a way when connected to my computer the items selected for exchange server sync ( e-mail, contacts, calendar ) can be synched when connected to the computer as well? Wirelessly everything works fine.

Hi,
after trying for hours I really need help:
ENVIRONMENT:
ELF (Htc Touch)
Laptop with Vista and Mobile Device Center 6.1
Office/Outlook 2007
Server 2003
WHAT I WANT:
Sync with our company exchange server both via GPRS (when I'm traveling) and USB (when I'm in the office)
Sync via GPRS works flawless. I configured the exchange settings manually. Synchronization of mails, contacts, and calendar works fine.
Problems start when I connect the device to my PC via USB.
The PC is in this case connected to our company LAN. After I plug in USB mobile device center connects and the synchronization starts. Problem is that it never ends. My device shows "waiting for network" and nothing happens thereafter. In the mobile device center error messages begin to pile up (saying that sync failed).
Aparently the device cannot connect to the exchange server via USB and the PC as gateway (at least, that's what I conclude from the messages). I've been playing with all settings I found but I'm stuck with the same problem.
There must be a way to do this! After all I had that in my old company (Windows xp and Windows Mobile 5), although i had to manually chose which connection I wanted to use.
PLZ Help !!!
Thanks

I found something!
Our exchange server has for internal (LAN) and external (internet) access different adresses. No wonder that it could not connect.
But there's the next problem: How do I configure so that I can chose the server depending on the connection I'm using? Of course, I could go to the exchange settings and change them every time I want to access but there must be an easier was that allows me to preconfigure two profiles for the same outlook mobile account.
Ideas please ...
Thanks
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.
I currently have activesync set up to synchronise mail with m.google.com for my gmail, and calendar with Outlook on my work laptop.
If I connect to the laptop via usb cable, this all works fine. However, the bluetooth sync will not work, UNLESS I remove the email account from my HD2. Then the bluetooth sync with my laptop works perfectly, but I have to reinstate my email account after.
What's the fix for this? On Active sync I have email set as Exchange, Calendar set as PC.....as I say, it works over USB cable but not bluetooth.
Also, whilst on the topic of connectivity, Peep and MSN messenger are unable to connect unless I'm using WiFi. I'm on 1.61, is there a fix for this yet?
Cheers,
DC
Does anyone have a solution for this?
