ActiveSync

Uni running latest rom.
Info :- Yesterday Activesync working at home and at work through USB.
Got home last night and thought I will set up my bluetooth conenction at home. Did this no problem at all the Uni connects through Bluetooth fine.
Get to work today and Uni Will not sync through USB.
I have gone through these Forums and can not find anything. Activesync just keeps saying connected.
Help !!!!!

Me again.
I have been through the Forums on this site and tried all the stuff on here.
Can I have on PC connect by bluetooth and another via USB.
I have tried soft reset and Activesync still says Connecting then times out after a long time.
Any help on this matter would be good.

Yo!

Yes. For my Xda Exec I have a USB connection to 'WORK-PC1', I have also set up a WiFi internet connection at work. Then, when I get home I use a Bluetooth connection and surf the internet using my 'HOME-XP-PC' connection via anothre ActiveSync 4.1 partnership (and also via a USB cable link if I want).
Alot of reference is made (here & other web sites) to ActiveSync & issues with partnerships: it appears that the thing to do is delete any troublesome partnerships, reset the PC & set up the partnership again.

CraptiveSync
Here we gop then :-
Active Sync :- Work PC (USB) Home PC (Bluetooth)
Have Wi-fi working no problme at home or work.
I have had to hard reset my UNI. Now both work and home connect fine using usb.
I set up BT on Home and the usb connection stops working. Also will not sync usb at work.
soft reset nothing. turn BT off nothing. Hard reset again and it syncs with both pcs usb.
Bluetooth on work pc this time.
Same again once BT set up will not usb sync.
GOD I HATE ACTIVE SYNC. In fact im renaming it to CraptiveSync.
I have no tired this in as meny ways as can set up BT first then USB.
BT and BT on both pc's works fine. but will not usb.
USB first then BT.

My experiences with this type of CRAP so far has led me to believe:
1) It's NOT ActiveSync - it's OK as long as v4.1 is used. Ensuring that WinXP Pro uses SP2 etc. etc.
2) It's NOT the PDA - only a handful of options HOWEVER one crucial thing I have learnt is:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections (icon):
Advanced (tab): > Select Networks:
Ensure BOTH options are set to 'My Work Network'.
3) If there are any issues, IT'S AT THE PC END OF THINGS and it's this multitude of crappy layered & hidden options and badly written drivers that casues ActiveSync (et al) to go AWOL. :evil:
Oh, & ongoing issues I have with COM ports.....
Andy

CraptiveSync issues still happening.
Hard reset both Pc's connect fine using USB. As soon as either PC is switched to Bluetooth and a connection is set up USB STOPS WORKING.
IT WORKS FINE until Bluetooth set up.
Anyone ??

USB Activesync Issue
I'm getting the same issue, but I only connect through USB. I sync to a work PC and a home PC. It all worked fine straight after reflashing (a mere two weeks after I got the damn thing, too many problems with the slow Orange ROM).
It started with the "Connecting..." message staying on the screen on the home PC. I have just now deleted all partnerships on the PC and am trying again. It's now just saying "Retrieving settings..."
I'm going to rename the phone and try again from scratch.
I don't know how Activesync works but I'm wondering if maybe the version of it on my phone, that was installed during the reflashing is different/incompatible with the version on my PC. I have no idea if Activesync is installed during the flashing process or if it somehow sits there throughout. Does this sound reasonable? If it is the case, how does one go about checking the version of AS on the phone?
Any help appreciated. TIA

SORTED THE BLUETOOTH ISSUE
I have sorted out the Bluetooth isssues I was having in this thread.
Heres how :-
Home pc (Bluetooth) Work pc USB.
Hard reset the UNI (This restores active sync back to default settings).
Set up USB pc first.
Then set up Bluetooth Pc.
It works.

I noticed while buggering about last night that there seems to be something up with one of the network adaptors and IP addresses but honestly I don't know enough about TCP/IP to do anything with it!
I managed to sync using a BT connection but it seemed to take an age.

Won't reconnect bluetooth
I'm having what appears to be a distinct problem. I have a T-Mobile MDA which I synch by cable at the office, and by bluetooth at home.
This arrangement worked for a while, but now every time I disconnect the bluetooth, I can't reconnect until I go into bluetooth settings, choose devices tab, find the home PC partner, press and hold for edit. There I see the Activesync service checked, but if I refresh, the Activesync service is unchecked. If I check it, I can synch via bluetooth without difficulty.
Any ideas? This clearly seems to be a problem with the PPC Activesync.

More
This problem -- I have to edit the bluetooth connection on the PPC -- has a slight wrinkle. Just unchecking and checking the Activesync service on the devices edit will make it possible to connect. It is as if the service is actually unchecked when it appears checked.

zone alarm & active sync
I just figured it out from my end ... with the :connecting" activesync problem. It seems that Zone Alarm was the culprit and since then everything has been working fine.

hey underwurlde how do u surf the net on ur universal via ur pc? i ve been tryin since i dont kno wen but havnt been success full. on connectin them by bluetooth it asks for a dialing number or a pass. which will be used to connect

I would love to know the answer to this one.
I was surfing on wifi last night. Now today activesync just says connecting for ever when using USB.
I read on the MS website an old post that said if you do many soft-resets usb activesync may be imparied and you need to do hard reset. There is no way I will reinstall all my apps again. I am sure this is a firmware thing.
Something has become corrupted in the universal's program storage. hard reset just effectively reinstalls everything. Perhaps re-installing one of the cabs from the extended rom will solve this problem.
anyone have any suggestions or sovled this problem themself ? (my problem is definitely not firewall!)

Firstly Essgee Im assuming your craptivesync connection is on your home pc via bluetooth. It makes no odds if its bluetooth or usb. If its a work connection it might be a firewall thing. I can ot surf the web at work on my ppc as the fire wall will not let me.
Home PC. Or slack work firewall.
Sync with PC. Open ActiveSync up. Go to file and the connection settings. In the drop down box marked as "This computer connects to" change it to the internet. You should now be able to surf the net.
Let me know ??

This happend to me. I had to hard reset PPC and it has not happend since. Dont know what went wrong. I did read somewhere that WI-FI connected to a WLAN and then BLuetooth Activesync don't get on when both are trying to connect to the internet. (This was my problem).

I didn't actually use bluetooth, just wifi. It might be another reason, it might be because we disconnect the PPC from the PC when activesync is doing something, or making a call, and this corrupts something on the PPC. It definitely not the PC as I tried different ones and also reinstalling activesync and wiping registry entries.
Anyway I had to do a hard reset, and it all worked again. Damn it!

ActiveSyncToggle
If you are having trouble with the reconnection problem -- that is, having to reboot the PC and/or soft reset the Wizard to get a success, I have found that most of my problems were reduced by using ActiveSyncToggle to shut off Activesync, and disconecting the bluetooth connection on the PPC rather than shutting off bluetooth.
ActiveSyncToggle solves the PC problem entirely (I never have to restart PC) but I still sometimes have to go to PPC bluetooth connection, click on the PC and uncheck and re-check the activesync service. This is clearly a software problem, since the service is checked but acts as if it is unavailable; unchecking and then putting the check mark back cures the problem.
ActiveSyncToggle solves another problem for me. Sometimes in boot up, the bluetooth starts after activesync, which causes an error "can't find the com port" from activesync. Since I now shut off activesync, I don't get these error messages.
Not exactly plug and play, though.

Vista/Bluetooth/8125

I just got my new laptop (Toshiba M400) and am trying to set up my 8125 for tethering. I am able to do that via USB, but I would like to have that for BT also. From all the threads I have read, I should have a "bluetooth modem" if they are connected, but I don't. Has anybody been able to connect the 8125 to Vista via bluetooth and get an internet connection that way? Could you please post a description of what needs to be done?
Thanks.

TTT
Im curious as well.

Yes, I have done it with Vista. First you need to make the Bluetooth on the computer “discoverable”. Then turn on the Bluetooth on the phone and select “settings”, under devices tab, select “add new device”, once it finds the computer it will ask you to enter a password, make one up. Then a box will come up on the lower right side of the monitor on the computer. Click on it and it will state a device wants access via Bluetooth and it will ask you for a password, enter the same password here that you made up earlier. After all of that you will need to make sure the “Activesync” box is checked on the wizard. Just follow the prompts and all will work. I have done it many times since I burn a new ROM every other day. This is all I do, I don't have a "Bluetooth modem" and internet works via bluetooth.
If you have issues let me know.

Bluetooth file exchange on Mogul

I can pair with my mac, but cannot send files. Does anyone have any links or explanation of how to exchange with 6800 and mac?
Thanks,

It can only do it through activesync or windows mobile center. I'm not sure if the missing sync will explore the device and transfer files, but it might since it syncs over BT. check it out. http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php

At my work we have IMAC's and when i send a file to them I dont even need to pair to the computer. That is if i disable authentication (KEY). When i send something to the computer a prompt screen pops up on the screen asking if i want to download and save the file.
No issues here.

How do you disable authentication?
Can you send from IMac to phone?
I have the 24" imac and I would love to have some connectivity. I cannot connect to our work server for file sharing due to firewall issues. I have broadband but no networking at work, only at home.

Under the Apple tab at your top left hand side there is a submenu in it.
Under System Preferences go to Hardware -- bluetooth-- and once in go to the sharing tab and all the information you would need is there. From enabling file sharing, making your computer visible, allowing sync with your PDA and so on.

Since I've been trying to transfer files between my Mogul and iMac (and failing miserably for quite a while), I thought I'd share what I found -
Problem - Transferring from iMac to Mogul worked fine. Transferring from Mogul to iMac resulted in "Fail" almost immediately. Tried deleting the bluetooth pairing, re-pairing and tried other programs to assist the bluetooth without luck.
Finally looked at the "Help" section of "Bluetooth File Exchange" on the iMac (running OSX 10.5.2) - and discovered I didn't have file sharing via bluetooth turned on! What a knucklehead...
In System Preferences, under "Internet and Network", select "Sharing." All I had to do was check the box to turn on the "Bluetooth Sharing" service, and transfers both way between my iMac and Mogul are working fine.
Hope that helps someone!

bluetooth issue

hi guys, i've got an issue with my bluetooth in that i can't receive files, i've tried from 2 different computers and a phone with no success. my windows box gives me an obex error code 0x49 if thats any help to anyone. i've got accept transfers ticked and the devices are paired. i can send files from the phone fine so the bluetooth is defiantly working.

Turn beam on.
Receive all incoming beams.

could you clarify a bit? i've got accept all connections turned on and don't see any beam options in the bluetooth app?

In sense settings, go to all settings. (Right softkey).
Open the bluetooth settings and open the 1st tab.
Expand the advanced settings.
Open the file transfer config and click allow "incoming file transfer connections"
I've not tested it though
I reconfigured the comm manager to run this app, called BtManager.exe. More useful than the wizard it normally runs.

i've already done all that, everything is enabled in the bluetooth settings app i just can't receive files, as i said before i can send to devices and connect via a2dp so i don't think it's a hardware issue so there must be a software problem somewhere?

same here, any one experienced it and solved the problem?

Long time no reply on this thread. I fixed the problem for my HD2. Maybe it help poeple to fix their receive files for their HD2 too.
In bluetooth advanced settings go to file transfer and uncheck safe files on your sd card, instead set the path to your sd card for receiving files. Click finish and test.

Thanks Guido, that worked for me!

On USB connection always Internet connection sharing starts

Hey Everyone,
I got a Major problem:
everytime I connect the HD2 to a PC via USB, it starts the Internet-Connection-Sharing.
But the setting in "USB to PC" under connections is set to active sync (or to USB-drive). Also the box "choose connection type on connecting" is choosen.
So Anybody shares this problem?
What to do - I have not yet tried a hard-reset (want to avoid it) but several soft-rests)
Pleas help me!
Greetz,
Maeffjus

having same issue.... just started for no reason

same
Just got that problem today, never had it before. and it's really anoying.!! dont wnat to hard-reset either..

The issue is that your phone uses the internet connection of the computer through the usb cable?

could this be an alternative symptom to the "stuck in car kit mode" problem caused by dirty/faulty usb perhaps?
