I have a Samsung Omnia i900 on o2 uk.
I download weather data etc from internet when the phone is connected to my pc (win xp) using active sync as I haven't managed to get the wireless to work yet.
I have a yahoo and gmail account. I tried downloading my email to outlook (which is already installed on the phone) whilst connected to the internet via active sync but it doesn't recognise it and only wants to connect thru 3g etc.
As i don't have a data plan is there any way I download my email when phone is connected via active sync?
Many thanks
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network->choose my home network or work network or whatever it's called in the dropdownbox
then it will always use activesync or wifi for network
Worked a charm
Thanks

Hello,
I have had a problem for quite some tome now with exchange server sync and my qtek 9100.
we have wifi at work and I can sync fine with exchange server, however when my phone is docked and connected to my pc it will sync with the pc but not with the exchange server. It complains about a netork problem when cconnecting and I presume it some clash with the LAN connection created via the pc and the pc wifi. I had accepted this and left it at that until recently I did a sync at home where I have a very similar wifi setup. the fone is connected to the pc and does a sync with both the pc and exchamge server fine. both the fone wifi and pc wifi were on and a LAN connection was also created with the pc and phone aswell, yet the phone was syncing fine.
Can anyone shed some light as to what is wrong with my work/phone setup so that it will also sync with the server when docked. The only differnce in setup is that my work wifi on the phone settings is for `WORK` and the home one is for `THE INTERNET`

After Some digging on the forums I found the following threads which have solved the problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47031&highlight=exchange+server+sync
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47874&highlight=exchange+server+sync
This then brings up the question of what does it mean to be connected to "Work Network", "The Internet", and "Automatic" in the Active Server Settings?
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
I have 2 sim cards with data plans, each displaying different behaviour:
web n walk professional:
cannot connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
CAN connect to MSN via Messenger on Kaiser
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
cannot connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
web n walk plus:
CAN connect to MSN via Windows Messenger on laptop
cannot connect to MSN via Trillian on laptop
CAN connect to ICQ via Trillian on laptop
Anyone have any idea why it's inconsistent? Surely the Windows Messenger and Trillian are both connecting to messenger.hotmail.com : 1863
Ideas?
Have you checked if your connection works through a proxyserver? I had all sorts of connection problems when I turned the proxy on...
I have had same problem with vodaphone. I mailed them that msn did not want to connect when proxy was on. They advised me to simply turn off the proxy on my phone.
Greetings from a vastloper from holland.
if you read the terms of use with the different services you will see that the different packages allow for differnt uses, ie voip & msn... also using the sim as a modem for a pc is prhibated with the lower tarriffs... you may find wifirouter as a nice work around
i can't not connect internet by active sync
can some one help me this solution?
You need to configure a server...
What are you pretendig to do? Syncronize with what?
sync with my pc not network
when i use polaris i can connect to my pc by active sync and use internet easily in my polaris
but in touch 3g nothing happen it said "connect fail try again lat
Ok, so recently my company has put in tighter firewall restrictions and as a result, when I have my WM phone activesync connected to my PC, Outlook Mobile cannot sync email anymore through the activesync internet pass-through.
When I have my phone disconnected from PC, it can sync email through 3G connection.
As soon as I plug my phone into the company PC, Outlook Mobile gives the "error synchronizing" message when trying to sync email through the AS-connection.
So what I want to do is to have OutlookMobile to continue to sync email through 3G instead of Activesync connection even when it's USB-connected to PC.
And I tried:
1. From PC activesync, set connection to "Work Network" (instead of "Automatic")
2. From PC activesync, "Allow wireless connection even when device is connected to this computer"
3. From WM, in Outlook Mobile I have configured "Server Setting" to connect via "Fido ISP" (instead of "Internet" or "Work network")
With this configuration, I verified internet browser, like Opera, stops using the Activesync internet-pass through to connect to internet. It indeed uses 3G even when my phone is AS-connected to the PC. I tried disconnecting the network connection from my company laptop, and my phone, which is AS-connected, can continue to browse internet pages.
But somehow Outlook Mobile continues to use the AS-connection to sync email, and because of our company's firewall restriction it continues to give me failure messages.
You would think those 3 settings would force Outlook to use the 3G connection instead of USB connection to sync email ... but nope.
Anything you guys can suggest?
