Hi,
I have been suffering with a persistant Activesync connection problem. It usually connects and syncs fine the first time I boot my machine, but after around five minutes it almost always disconnects (though my Vario II continues to charge). Unplugging and replugging the USB cable does not work and the Activesync icon remains grey. Trying to start the connection manually either from the Vario II or from Activesync on the desktop also does not reconnect the device. In fact the only way to get it to connect again is to reboot my PC.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 downloaded from Microsoft this morning. I've tried deleting and recreating the partnerships, which does not help the issue. I've tried several USB cables which also do not resolve the issue, so I am now asking for your help.
If anyone has any insights into whaty might be happening I would appreciate your help...
Thanks,
Chris
I'm having the same problem, but in my case unplugging the cable from the device and plugging it again usually restarts the sync. Sometimes, however, I have to soft-reset to get it working again. Very annoying.
Hi Chris,
Ive had tons of issues with activesync on my works laptop..... I use a VPN and zonealarm... I used to have tno issues but since I got WM5 wich uses IP address's it always does the same thing as yours.. ive made sure the IP address is allowed in zone alarm.... my colleague also had this issue.. he managed to solve it by using a differnet USB port as his laptop has 3 one is on the side of the machine ... try using a different USB or disable zone alarm if you use it this could be causing the problem.
I sometimes get it to work if I have no VPN client running but as soon as I do use it the active sync stops.
Hope this may help you

I have exactly the same issue with my Vario II, never happened with my Vario and I have changed nothing other than my phone. Makes me think its summin to do with the harware possibly? Anyone else found a cure for this?
I Had the same problems, so I gave up on USB connection with active sync, I have 4 USB ports on my laptop and tried all, I now use bluetooth and works everytime.
There has always been problems with USB and actgive sync, so 4.2 was suppose to fix, but not for me.
I've got the same probelm on my Tytn. I've solve it to delete the Pocket Mechanic :shock: , I've done a S.R. and from now on the A.S. works correctly.
Ciao, Cesare
Had to use my old vario for a bit today, used activesync and it worked fine for the whole time I had it plugged in, got a new Vario II replacement today, got home and its exactly the same, would appear to be a mismatch between Vario II and activesync 4.2, can I connect by wifi?
Hello hmm the problem is if it uses direct or ip ,try go settings - connections - ( usb to pc ) and disable advance network funtctionality.
Hope that works
thanks
I had this problem too - I disabled advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel under the Settings/Connections folder, and then Activsync stayed connected after that.
HTC TyTN 7/22/06 ROM
Just given that ago, Took me 5 attempts for the usb to pc connection settings screen to show up but then I realised it had to be plugged in to do it! Duh! What features do I loose by disabling ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY?
After the activesync working fine with my orange spv3100 for 4 weeks it suddenly refused to connect. I un-checked the "advanced functionality" box as suggested and it works again. Many thanks for the solution peeps.
I too would like to know what functions this deactivates.
Same problem, I've installed ActiveSync 4.5beta and now it stay connected, sometimes it disconnects but after restart of the phone it works again, one friend told me that the problem comes from the Activesync in the phone, so may be we have to look for the problem in the phone not in the PC
Activesync 4.2 problem
Hi all,
I too started having the same problems with Activesync 4.2 hanging my phone if left charging overnight. I decided to disable the advance network connection and that worked for a while. Now the phone wont sync AT ALL. It charges, but I can't do anything else. I reinstalled the Activesync 4.2, did a soft reset, off-on to the mobile, turn off-on my computer and still nothing. I will d/l Activesync 4.5 beta to see if that solves the problem, but it looks to be a problem with the Activesync in the mobile and not the one in the computer. I did the troubleshooting and it is detecting the USB connection but does not sync. I would really like to know if wireless sync can be achieved. Will post any fix if I find one. BTW my mobile is about a month and a half.

Sync problems with tytn
I've read through all the messages in this thread and wondered if someone could help me with some problems i've been having with syncing mine with a laptop. Often when I have the device plugged in when i boot up the laptop activesync won't start until i've disconnected the usb cable then reconnected it again-i never had this problem with the imate jam. My second problem arises when sometimes it says on the files section that there are un resolved items???? i then try to resolve the issue and a wizard comes up with add or remove buttons.afraid that i might remove something essential i tried the add button hoping this might resolve the issue-it didn't. i then gave up as nothing worked. after switching the laptop off and then syncing a day later there were no items to resolve so what exactly is happening. how can there be unresolved items one minute and nothing the next.also i hadn't done anything different on the tytn.if i select the add button on the window does it add a copy of the file highlighted and could this affect the operation of the device.Sorry if this seems a little confusing but i never had this problem with an xda exec or an imate jam.
please could someone help a non technical fifty something.

hi,
where can i find ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY
I agree, where is this option?
I'm running version 4.2 and along the top bar all I'm seeing is:
File - View - Tools - Help
Nothing like "Settings" and/or "Connections" in sight. Under "File" there is the "Connection Settings" option, but nowhere does it mention "Advanced Networking Functionality".......
Can someone explain this please?!
The "Advanced Networking Functionality" is on your phone, not on desktop's activesync.
On WM5, go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and you will find the "Enable Advanced network functionality" option.

Every time I try that, I just get an error message saying: "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial".
Has anyone else seen this message? Happens regardless of whether the Vario II is connected by USB or not...
Thanks,
Chris
I'm still getting the RNDIS error, has anyone else come across this? Is there a solution?
Cheers,

Hi,
i've stumbled today over a post by maati about the Touch HD syncing so well with syncmate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475793&page=2
I have checked and the free version has just the amount of features I am looking for.
Well, I have downloaded the file and installed on my Mac (Leopard) but can't get a USB connection or Wifi connection not even talking about a syncing!
If I plug my HD into the USB, I have the three choices "ActiveSync", "Harddrive" and "Internetsharing".
Only when I choose using the HD as a harddrive it'll pop up on the Mac.
Clearly I do something wrong.
Could it have something to do that I have done this (Run Active Sync when you want):

Well, I'm grateful for any thoughts.
Good night ,

Bump... or too special?
Cheers!
Probably you just have to check the box "Enable faster data syncr."
under Settings -> USB to PC
hope it works
I want to use my Wildfire as internet modem trough USB. But when I turn on network sharing I do not have any connection on my computer. I am new on adroid and I do not know what to to??? Thanks for solutions
Using your phone as a modem (tethering)
Get online with your notebook or desktop computer at any time, using your phone’s data connection.
You need your SIM card inserted on your phone to use the data connection. To find out how to set up and use the data connection, see Data connection.
Before you can use your phone as a modem, be sure to copy first HTCDriver.exe from your phone’s microSD card to your computer. To find out how to copy, see Copying files to or from the storage card. Double-click this file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the modem driver on your computer.
Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on. See Data connection to learn how to turn on the phone’s data connection.
Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
On the Connect to PC screen, select Internet sharing, and then tap Done.

I cant find HTCDriver.exe on my microSD. Where do I find the file? Thanks.
I posted the same issue two days ago.
Apparently, we are not alone !
Just watch 10 posts below, I explained a little more...
Download HTC Sync software. It has htcdriver. You can remove HTC Sync after that but do not remove the other two HTC drivers from the program list.
I saw these drivers in the folder but actually the main issue is that when I plug set the usb mode to network sharing, I have no new material like an usb modem detected by the pc.... I'm running on seven 64bits. Is it compatible ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Emmm.... it suppose to detect the new device. I'm using 7 64bit.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
My wildfire works after i installed htc sync. I have no experience using the htcdriver file from the card.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Mine is also ok now. Now connecting to the internet using my notebook via Wildfire "Internet Sharing" function.
How to connect ?
1) Turn on notebook
2) open HTC Sync (on notebook)
3) Connect Wildfire to notebook using USB - select HTC Sync (on Wildfire)
4) On Wildfire - Open Settings - Wireless & Networks - check Internet Sharing.
Now you can browse the internet using your notebook.
Thanks for your response but it does't work...
On the Wildfire, under Wireless & network / Internet sharing, it's written 'Activation...' when I check the checkbox and it stay grayed.
Seems to be a strange issue.
Any idea ?

hi. I have problem with my htc wildfire internet sharing. I set "mobile sharing" when i plug phone to laptop. On loptop shows that connecting and finally show that`s no "internet access".
Has anyone seen this problem?
My HD2 disables the PC's WiFi each time I sync.
When I take the cable out of the HD2 the PC's WiFi network will go down and I have to go into device manager and re-enable the WiFi network card, sometimes even this won't work and I have to reboot the PC.
It also very often happens when I connect the cable but usually a troubleshooting of the network problems will restart the WiFi and fix without rebooting.
The thing is that my TyTN II works perfectly and always has, it is only the HD2 that I have the problems with.
I have tried several HD2 ROMs and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC.
I did a search of the forums, (not easy when you can only do one search each 30 seconds) but could not find anything, searches for 'disabled pc wifi' only bring up the good old connecting to router problems.
Any ideas anyone?

I'm having the same exact issue. It's driving me crazy. Every time I plug my HD2 to the computer, my wireless internet goes down. Anyone know what's going on?
I've kind of fixed mine. I tried different USB ports which re-installed the drivers each time. One of the ports at the back of my PC seems to be fairly stable although I do still lose WiFi occasionally but it's tolerable.
ian
A little more digging and I've found these two threads, which were helpful.

Hi,
I have installed Android 2.3 on my HTC HD2. Right now, I do not have wifi at my home and i am using an ASDL Ethernet connection to my PC.
Earlier while using Windows 6.5, I used ActiveSync for this purpose. ActiveSync allows us to share PC (desktop) internet on phone using USB cable.
Is there any way i can connect to internet on my phone using internet from PC using USB cable (using ANDROID) (as was working for Microsoft ActiveSync)?
Thanks
Rajiv
No easy way...
try http://www.codeproject.com/KB/android/UsbPortForwarding.aspx
I also wanted this feature missing from wm ,But finally opt for wireless router ..
I'm currently using "MccMBoxmaX GS V7.0 Gingerbread 2.3.3[Sense 2.1+3.0]3D Effect" and it has an option called "Internet pass through" when u connect your HD2 to the computer, I believe this is a Sense 3 feature so all builds based on this new sense has it too. I tried to test it first to see if it works, and it works
But first of all you need to download "HTC Sync" Version 3 to install the required drivers for your HD2.
Second of all, make sure your firewall on your PC isn't going to block the new installed application from sending and receiving data from the internet to your HD2.
Finally you enable "data pass through" option on your HD2 after you connect the usb cable of course and that's it!.
hopes this helped you...
Been wanting this feature on Android forever!
But I like my CLK Typhoon builds.
