I was wondering, are many people using custom roms also use the combination Exchange/ActiveSync? I ask, cause I seem to always have lots of problems with my Exchange sync when using custom roms. It happened with my TP (starting 6.5), and now with my HD2. ActiveSync will tell it is connected, but no synchronization is happening and push does not work. It only works with manual sync, or scheduled sync. It is very annoying and it is pissing me off.
Is this a rom problem, or a HSPL problem? I love the performance of these roms, particularly Dutty since his are so nice and clean, but I *need* ActiveSync push properly working.
I have done hard resets, reflashes and everything I can think of. Nothing works. And I have tried the top5 fastest roms from the benchmarking thread. Flashing back to the stock rom, and everything is fine.
So right now, I seem to be stuck with either a relatively slow rom with push or a screaming fast one without push.
Any ideas or suggestions?
have you tried SONE HDv1.1/..? seems to work fine, speedy, complete rom, wit activesync and exchange.
im using exchange with my gmail contacts and calendar sync.
fist it dosent work when i sync both calendar and contacts, but then it works when i do it one at a time.
i tried contacts first, by selecting menu>options, and selecting just contacts
i let it sync,
then i de-selected contacts, and sync calendar...(tho it deletes all contact data on phone)..ad let it sunc as well.
after it syncd, hen checked them both..and this time works.
i still have problems with mail tho, dont have a clue how to get around that.
hope this helps.
Somehow that doesn't sound very encouraging.
For reference: I found it. For some reason it appears that 6.5 and higher roms do not appreciate you importing ActiveSync settings from a registry export, and require you to manually configure it. On 6.1 roms this works fine. Still annoying, since I like to set things up using UC, but at least it is working now.
this is the dilemma I always have. I've always stuck with stock ROMs because although they are inflated, and often buggy...they do work...mostly
the risk of moving to a custom ROM and finding that the apps I need don't work (I would be totaly screwed if I didnt have reliable push email.
then I think abut the new features that are available in 6.5.3 (threaded email for xample) and really want to move...but there's always the nagging that I will have to constantly reflash as custom ROMS seem to release fixes every couple of days!!

I've had this come up a couple of times - major PITA - where you have to do a manual reset of AS - loosing updated information from the previous update. I googled that error and searched for it here, but found nothing helpful and no mention of it in the forums here. Anyone have this before or know if there's a way to fix it? I'm running g4 with the tnt 4 or 1537 (?)
Anyone? Bump!
happens to me too
it's sooooo obnoxious. I havent been able to find a pattern yet. It just randomly seems to give me that error. I'm using the htc kaiser w/ wm6. i do sync my pda between my laptop and my desktop. I've done that before with my htc blue angel and never had any problems with it.
it seems to happen at least once a week. the annoying part about it for me is that I have to delete all of my calendar items, contacts, and tasks on my laptop's outlook so I can sync them.
I don't have that problem anymore - and not sure why. I've switched roms so many times I think it might have been related to the rom - or maybe even the dst updates.
Work around
According some microsoft posts (users, nothing official) this is caused by syncing email containing sub-folders. I haven't tested other than to stop syncing emails. It works fine if I don't sync Emails.
Good luck!
I've seen a lot of ActiveSync errors (I hope that's what you're talking about, or I'm going to sound very off-topic). Use DotFred's Task Manager to remove all duplicate notifications from your device. 9 of 10 times, this will resolve ActiveSync errors.
I bet you're right. I think it has something to do with snoozing reminders on the pda and the pc and them getting out of sync...
Solved... no
I red that if you dont sync email it will work - i tried:
While geting errormessage i vent to activ sync and disabled syncing of mail. After that i start synking. This sync ended up doing a resync, wich means tatt all voice commands and keyboard shortcuts went directly in toilet.
I will keep this setting for a while and se of error comes back.
Please keep positing possible solutions, this sync error is SO frustrating
its the same with me here...
it does anoy me so bloody much...
i will deselect email as well. lets see
resync everything again, cvause something on the server has changed... thats always the message...
it sux!!!!

I am a bit confused so hoping somebody can help me out, I have updated to davideuck V3 rom and I know that the ROM only runs activesync when required. I have also read in a few threads that activesync does something with email and it may be the cause of my problem.
Basically before I updated from stock rom my email was set to sync every 30mins which it did as long as it is not in standby,so if I used the phone after one hour this caused the emails to sync as the phone is out of standby. Now the only way is to manually go in and click send/recieve.
I would love to get it working even in standby but want atleast to get it to check when phone is active.
One other thing I have noticed is that when I click email there are 3 email envolopes even though I only have 2 accounts setup, clicking the first envolope does nothing the other toggle between my 2 accounts.
<little rant>I am a bit dissappointed with the phone as it seems like a mega task for it to do basic things like my n95 would do. Hope HTC or MS pull their finger out and fix some of the basic functions. </little rant>
Thanks in advance

Got it sorted not sure if it hard rest or flashing a newer radio. The phone now checks email even in standby
I have not even connected my jade to my PC yet but activesync keeps popping up in the running progams list?
It's beginning to annoy me somewhat i am running the orange stock rom has this been a previous problem before for anyone?
Hi
Since the official rom upgrade I get same thing. Activesync is always on...
Maybe you have to check if you have some programs that auto update like, RSS feeds or the weather, or your mail accounts, etc.
Hack the registry. Open HKCU/ Software/ Microsoft/ Activsync/ KeepAlive/ change 1 to 0. You can not delete the key so you have to this every time after sync. I know, it's not very elegant but it works.
I tried the registry way, not works for me, still keep on coming out by itself, I have to add a server source in activesync and change the settings to manually, set all peak times off, leave it there, then no more issue.
Thanks for the replys guys/girls looks like i will have to flash a custom rom to get rid of this problem then, a bit nervous as have not flashed a T3G rom before,i have flashed loads of kaiser roms so cant be too much different i suppose, but still brand new handset always gonna bit a bit worrying

Just got my senior members wings with this post
the best way not keeping alive the ActiveSync is to create fake server connection if there is not a problem for your Operator.
Howto is given many times in this forum.
Just search it..
Hi all,
I have had manila freezing problems on past few roms on namely,
XannyTech's 1.0, 1.1,
PDAVIET - v5, v7
(i mention these because i have flashed only these, not others, so this solution could be for other roms too).
Though both these roms are beautifully made up, i had severe manila freezing problems. i didnt install much, but still it occured, and always it happened shortly after i flashed.
Now i had overlooked the exact happening of it, and finally was able to see it happen.
This freezing of manila is happening due to addition of a POP/IMAP MAIL ACCOUNT only. (in reference to my case) And i have been successful in confirming this as i am able to recreate this problem.
I have added a hotmail account too, but that doesn't disturb the manila at all, but only the pop/imap mail account is troubling it.
When the Manila freezes, i am still able to go to the start menu, and from there to MAIL, and then i delete the pop mail account, and soft reset. Everything is back to normal, and the phone works beautifully!
I have been having this problem within a short time of flashing the rom, as i always sync and download my mails immediately after flashing so i can be on the move.
This solution is there, but the lack of having my pop mail on my phone is becoming a problem to me as its my business mail.
Request to Chefs: Can you please try and see if it also happens with you?
I can confirm that the following softwares are NOT the ones creating problem...
S2U2,
Showcase,
I hope this is helpful to all! and i hope the great Chefs here help in overcoming this problem.
I had no problems with manila freezes on pdaviet v5 and v6 with gmail account.
as i said mate, its happening mostly with private business domain pop/imap mail accounts mainly.
Can you try installing a business mail domain on it and see if it freezes?
I will try tomorow at work.
I have the problem you mentioned, but I can not said you is for the POP3 mail account. Manila in several ROMS freezing and go back to prove another ROM in order to have the HD2 OK. Next time I'll flash I not going to install the mail to know if the right problem.
I have IMAP for AOL & pop3 for hotmail installed on various ROM's & no freezing. I have been using Sense on both the HD2 & Xperia for a long time. I think you're on the wrong track. I did encounter freezing with Showcase. I am interested to know what makes you think that it's not this. I take it you have Showcase installed?
Weepatc, i have showcase installed, and working smoothly.
i have set hotmail and gmail accounts and both working fine.
now i have a couple of business domain. and ONLY when i set them up, do i encounter Manila to freeze up for good.
The moment i remove those accounts from the email settings, all is back to normal.
i have tried out this process about 6-7 times to reconfirm if that is what causing the hangups, and that is what caused it all the time.
Maybe u should try to flash a rom, then setup emails without installing showcase. I had a problem with this app on some roms, especially the new ones with start button at tho bottom.

Are your email accounts set up to retrieve email automatically. If so, it might be an idea to set it up for manual Send/Recieve & try that.
I also have freezing issue but ramdomly and suddenly. I tried XannyTech ROM 1. 0 and 1.1
any workaround ?

I think he is on the right track with this. I have been having the same issues and after setup mail with Seven (www.seven.com). It seems to occurred when setting up Push e-mail for POP or Exchange.
However, I am only observing this issue with the 28XXX and the 235XX builds (basically anything using 6.5.X UI.) It does not occurred with 218XX builds which just 6.5 UI.
I aggree something bogus is happening, i was fine on miri 1.0 6.5.x with exchange and hotmail, no freezes, upgraded to xanytech evolution rc1....freezes like a mofo, also got freezing on miri 1.1 but i think that may have been down to something else
Hi there...
i'm just using HD2Owners Roms...
have also the Manilla freezes...
since i'm not using pop3 or Imap ... only Exchange sync!!!
Startmenü still available... just got into the orignal Windows Settings (thanks to B&B Tweaks... to have a option to enable this..)
so just got into the home settings, and disable and renable sense...
then sense isnt freezing...
i had many programm now in focus.. the last one was fpsece... but i didn't have installed this cab right now and sense still freezing from time to time... but not everytime... so no guess whats the real problem....
I'm going to try flashing back to stock then flashing again, this has happened before on other devices, flashing from custom rom to custom rom, it might be worth a shot, its only going to take 10mins, i'll try tonight and post my results.

Cool, so now more and more people are experiencing the same problem. Atleast now we know what is causing the problem, so its easier to search for a solution.
Coming to think of it, this problem is cropping up only on the Manila 2.5.1922 version.
I think we should request some chefs to make a rom with the old 1921 manila.
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308280&postcount=164
my "story"
maybe it has something to do with manilla customizing...
same issue here with WM 6.5.x office 2010beta
I think manilla freezes like you describe in circumstances where the installed software makes a change to manilla in some way.
I have had the same problems when installing the HTC Network plugin, because it adds the network plugin option to the Other settings tab within manilla. I have also been able to repeat this fault consistently, and has always requred a hard reset to rectify.
However, from what i can gather, it is something that only applys to Manilla 1922 as opposed to 1921, which is a real pain when everyone seems to be using 1922 in their roms now.
i use 1922 in my rom and never had a freeze

The question for you is: are you doing any e-mail (pushing or pop) with it. Are you also using it on HD2 device. I have used Manila all day today with no lockups or freezes, however I have not setup any of my e-mail stuff. I did installed my applications and still no issues. I will soon setup my e-mail and then freezes are guaranteed
Got my HD2 from tmobile 2 days ago. Set up a lock code on it and my exchange email account on activesync. Stock rom.
Worked fine for a day.
Next day went to power the screen on and it was redrawing the screen very slowly and then stopped cold, and i could tell the screen was to re-enter my exchange webmail password, which was weird, because i had it set to save the password and it worked fine syncing since i set it up the previous day.
So i soft reset the phone. Get to my lock screen on boot, go to unlock it, won't take my unlock code. Tried it a dozen times. Kept telling me the password was incorrect. So i take take the battery out for a while and soft reset again; try again, same thing.
So i had to start from scratch with a hard reset because i couldn't get into the phone.
It's like it knew all my settings, but not the values to those settings (unlock code/exchange password).
Anybody else have something like this happen?
-Tony
I'm having one hard reset after another. As much as I love the phone, it seems it only stays stable when you don't install any applications, and apparently even synchronizing to contacts causes headaches now...

Is it possible that all 6.5 Windows Mobile phones work fine but only HD2 sucks with this OS?
I had a similar issue. I set up a lock code & when I went to unlock it stopped taking the code, kept giving me "incorrect password" I had to start from scratch as well.
I've installed a few apps (MorphGear, TomTom, Azgard Defence, Bsb Tweaks, Mobipocket) as well as changed the HTC Sense theme and the phone still runs like a champ.
However, I have not run it with a sim card yet (darn simlock!) but have gone online and done a few updates while synced with my computer.
No custom roms for my HD2, at least for the time being. I tried one cooked rom after another for my Hermes, then for my Touch Pro, none of which run like it SHOULD. Glitches and bugs with all of them. The stock roms go through a lot of testing, and although some bugs do sometimes sneak through, I believe it is the most stable you can have.
I LOVE this phone!
I've had a couple of lock-ups and a touch of lag here and there, but it seemed the culprit was Skyfire. Once I uninstalled it, my lag problem went away. Don't quite understand why, but, hey, who's to question, right? As for syncing issues, I haven't synced with Outlook or any calendars, but I do have both my gmail (three accounts) and AOL mail working okay. Only problem I have is that, with AOL, some of the items I delete pop up again when I get a new mail. It'll say that I have 4 emails when, in fact, only 1 is new and the other three are mails I've read or deleted already. Trying to get my head around that one.
