Since I have upgraded my Qtek 9000 with the latest O2 ROM (and deleted all the O2 stuff in order to get more free space), I have had a problem (or at least that is when I think the troubles started).
ActiveSync works for all items except for Files.
Files are deleted from the sync folder on the desktop PC(s), but luckily the files remains on the device. I can put a file in the desktop folder and it is synced to the Universal. Next time I reconnect the file is deleted from the desktop folder but remains on the Universal. I am using 2 Desktop PC’s (both with XP), and they both have the same problem.
Until the upgrade (or sometime near that point in time) file sync with the Universal and the 2 desktop PCs was functioning flawlessly.
Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

Hi, I am looking for some help regarding a sync problem I am having with my XDA Mini S. I have recently re-installed my copy of Windows XP Home. Prior to this re-install I was able to sycn with my XDA using activesync 4.1. Since the re-install however when trying to sync I am presented with an error on the desktop machine.
Support Code:86000107
I have trawled the internet to find a solution, but to no avail. I have tried the new 4.2 beta of active sync and tried un-installing the software several times aswell as removing sync profiles form the unit.
Any help would be apreciated. I am using ROM version 2.21.4.1 WWE and Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I had tried searching the forum first, but my choice of keywords obviously let me down.
I have tried both disabling the firewall and ensuring DHCP is enabled. I am using the windows firewall controlled by Microsoft's Windows OncCare Live, and within which all processes associated with active sync have been granted permission to access the network.
The phone appears to be able to send data to the desktop pc, but the desktop fails for some reason. Any further advice?
thanks
Do you hear the usual "bing bong" type noise that Windows makes when a USB device is plugged in?
Does ActiveSync on the desktop even start up?
If so, on your PC goto Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. When you plug the PDA in, does a new connection profile eventually show up in the Network Connections window? It will be called something like Local Connection #6 or something similar, I've renamed mine.
Yes everything connects and establishes a connection. I can browse the device and even upload to and from it. Active sync even tries to sync with the device, but then shows the error detailed above. The XDA was able to upload my contacts to outlook for example after the re-install of windows, but nothing is synced from the desktop pc to the xda.

See the Microsoft Knowledge base..........
............there's something I remember when I had this prob.
For me, it was ZoneAlarm firewall [free edition] which doesn't allow individual ports to be configured, just application rules [you can in Pro version] but in my research, I remember seeing something about Activesync not working even though the exception was set in Windows Firewall.
Try with NO firewall at all - probably best to pull your network cable if you're worried whilst you test ActiveSync with no firewall at all.
I'm sorry I can't post the reference but you should be able to find it again.
I now don't use any s/w firewall - I have a switch router with hardware router built in which shows as 'stealthed' to the outside world on all ports @ www.grc.com [ShieldsUp] and all my WM5 stuff works - ActiveSync and WiFi
I didn't get the error you did, mine just connected then hung whilst showing 'Syncronising'............'cept it never did !!! LOL but I could do all the other things as you describe....just no syncing.
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried without a firewall enabled at all but with no luck. I am trying to work out what is different with this installation tot he previous that worked.
I have found that I need to dissable the Sync of my contacts and it works with the Caldener etc. I have no idea why this is, but its the only solution I can find anywhere and its very frustrating. :roll:
That's a weird one, not be able to sync contacts but can do calendar events.
Have you tried a reinstall of outlook?
If so then, and this is just a guess, it could be that there is something wrong with a particular contact entry that's causing things to go wrong. Perhaps some invalid characters in any one of the many available fields (name, num, email address, website, notes etc).
Some solutions that worked for me
I had the problem with contacts not syncing when everything else would. My solution, which worked for me, was to:
1. disable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
2. sync as normal
3. disconnect device, reconnect device, sync again
4. re-enable 'contacts' in ActivSync options
5. contacts should now re-sync
Incidentally I found many problems with the ActiveSync partnership after restoring the device from a backup. The solution is to delete everything in the \Windows\ActiveSync folder on the pocket PC, go into ActiveSync options on the pocket pc and remove the partnership there. Finally delete the partnership on your PC.
I am running V-Com systemsuite on my PC (which I think uses the Sygate firewall) this firewall never interferes with my XDA Exec but oddly enough does so with my XDA mini S. If I disable the firewall - problem still exists. If I shut down the firewall completely (keeping Windows XP firewall running for security) the problem goes away.
Maybe some of this will help

I had moved the Outlook.pst file to a location other than the default. When I moved it back and created a new profile the error had gone. thanks for the help everyone.
Sounds like it was a corrupt pst file causing the problem then. I'm glad you got it all working now

First of all you have to open some ports in the sygate firewall: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/sygate.mspx
In my experience it's necessary to change the RNDIS driver settings in the mobile phones registry as well!
Use a regedit tool like PHM Registry Editor.
Here are the settings to be added (or to be changed respectively):
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS
Name of the Value to add: MTU
Type : DWORD
Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)
Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer
Type: DWORD
Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)
After a reset my Prophet (XDA Neo) synchronized well with active sygate firewall!
Hello, Guys… Please, help me… I searched on Forum, but I found nothing.
I have a very unusual problem to synchronize the Favorites.
I had a TyTN (serial 630…) and it had no problem with synchronizing the Favorites between device and PC.
(I Used and use Office 2007, ActiveSync 4.5… and I have 360 Bookmarks in 30 Folders (under “Device Favorites” on PC)
Now I have a new TyTN with serial 650 and the same ROM (1.18.258.2 07/22/06 ITA)of the first TyTN.
When I Synchronize the TyTN for the first time, all it’s correct. Active Sync puts ALL the folders and ALL the Bookmarks into device.
When I Synchronize for the second time, the folders and the bookmarks into device remain the same. BUT on PC many bookmarks disappear (62 remain) while the number of Folders remains the same.
When I Synchronize for the third time, the folders and the bookmarks into device ever remain the same. BUT on PC more other bookmarks disappear (the number of Folders remains the same).
At the end I have ALL Bookmarks and ALL Folders on TyTN, while on PC I have 40 bookmarks (about) and ALL Folders.
The same problem happens if I write step by step the Bookmarks on Device.
So, if on TyTN I write (about) 70 Bookmarks in 8 Folders and Synchronize with PC, it’s all OK .
But if I write more bookmarks on Device and I want ho synchronize these ones on PC, Is not possible! These ones remain only on device and they can’t go on PC!
I tried to change any type of settings without results. I tried Hard Reset, Format PC, reinstallation of ActiveSync and Office too.
What can I do?

I have the Cingular 8125.
One thing I can say is that the Sync between the 8125 and ActiveSync is buggy. For instance, It keeps wiping out my favorites bookmarks on my system when doing a bi-directional sync. - wierd.
Anyways, After playing around with this phone for a few weeks, I do know that ActiveSync uses TCPIP via USB to communicate with the 8125. My suggestion is to temporarily disable any and all firewalls and see if it syncs up. When I plug my phone in I get a new network adapter that shows up and obtains an IP address from nowhere (169.254.2.2) as my systems are firewalled from the internet entirely and I don't run DHCP on my network.
I suggest the following:
1) See if Windows see a new network adapter when you plug in the 8125.
2) Disable all firewalls from that adapter.
3) Establish a firewall ruleset allowing data for both your local private network subnet (10.1.0.0/255.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) and the 8125 network subnet (169.254.2.0/255.255.255.0)
4) When the phone is connected, it shows up in "My Computer" as "Mobile Device".
Hope this helps.

It seems someone has my same problem...
I looking for a fast solution...
I have tried to sync with XP SP2 and Vista. In both cases ActiveSync connects and I can actually browse the files and folders on the PPC from my desktop PC. I can also sync to Exchange, but it refuses to sync with my desktop. I tried removing the Exchange sync but that did not work. On my XP system I get the following error:
---------------------------
Microsoft ActiveSync
---------------------------
The server could not be reached. This can be caused by temporary network conditions.
Support Code:80072ee2
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
All the information I have found on this error relates to issues with the Exchange sync, but I do not have problems with Exchange sync.
I have also tried unchecking "Enable advanced network functionality" in the USB to PC settings without any luck.
I can also install progs via ActiveSync but I still cannot sync my contacts, calendar, etc. with my desktop PC.
My bootloader is v1.00 on both phones. Is there any other info that would be helpful?
I have attached my selections file for the ROM I generated. I am using BuildOS from 12/17/2007, but I have tried earlier versions as well and had the same problem.
I would really like to use WM6 but if I cannot sync with my desktop it is pretty useless.
I need to synchronize my Touch Cruise with Microsoft Access on my desktop (Windows XP) but who develops database (SprintDB, f.e.) writes me:
"there is no way to synchronize database files on Windows Mobile 6 because Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 does not support database sync"
In fact i can not to find anymore Pocket Access
There is some experienced that can help me to resolve this problem?

If you have room on your device, you can set the database to sync under "Tools/Settings/Options" by placing the database in the "Files" folder to be sync'ed. I often do this for Excel files that I need to keep a current copy on my phone. (I have XP Pro and ActiveSync 4.5.)
Good luck!

I just try it but WM6 do not know the extension ".mdb" (Micoroft Access) and the file is invisible by device (maybe must to have extension .cdb)!
Moreover i nedd to sybcronized it because the tables change day by day (hour by hour !)
I've just checked the sprintdb site, and a new version has been released, 4.0.
According to them there is a new conversion database utility. The screenshot shows the conversion from mdb to cdb, but I don't know if it is possible the contrary (just browsed it) and also synchronisation.
