When I have my cingular 8125 connected to my desktop and activesync is running, I can't connect to anything on the internet with my PDA.
I'm accustomed to being able to do that and my previous PDA devices used activesync and the PC's internet connection to do that. Can the 8125 not do that?
Yes, the 8125 and other variants of the Wizard can use ActiveSync's "passthrough" function using port 5721, so it's definitely not exhibiting normal behavior.
ActiveSync is syncing ok? Do you get the two back and forth arrows icon on top (indicating a passthrough connection)? What happens when you try to browse?
I confess I haven't seen this before but I would start by opening a command prompt on your pc. Type the command
telnet 169.254.2.2 5721.
If it returns "Connect failed" you have some software blocking the connection -- possibly firewall since it's the often the culprit in AS connectivity issues, but possibly other sync software, or vpn.
You might try disabling your startup items using msconfig then see if it works -- go to start > run > msconfig.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup, then uncheck the Load Startup Items box. Then click the Services tab, check the box that says Hide All Microsoft services, then disable the remainding services. Reboot.
You'll need to run AS manually once it's booted then see if it will let you use the passthrough connection.
Well, it syncs just fine. It just doesn't get the passthough connection.
The telnet works just fine also.
Interesting. What does it do when you try to browse using the passthrough? Does it try to open a gprs connection instead? Does it give an error message?
It errors out with a message: "The page cannot be displayed because the connection was lost. Please try again."
Some more information.
When connected via activesync, I can check email. It's only the pocket IE that can't get to anywhere.
Any ideas?
i'm hating activesync 4.1, it disconnects halfway through a file transfer then renders my device unuseable til i soft reset and makes my pc not shut down without unplugging it :x
Ive done all the firewall settings etc but it still doesnt work properly, i can only stay connected to my pc for about 3 mins.
Guess im gonna have to buy a card reader :roll:

Out of curiousity, are you syncing with bluetooth or USB?
with usb, i also have wifi in the house but it wont log on to that either :roll: it finds it ok (and next doors hehe :twisted: ) but thats as far as it'll go. it wont accept the network password (im using the pkey method)
ive done all the stuff suggested by m$oft but nothing seems to help. it could be an issue with my home network stealing the bandwidth apparently-does this sound right? i never had a problem with my ppc2003 ipaq on active sync 3.8 but now that wont work either without cutting off after 3 mins.
why does m$oft crap never work
When the Wizard is connected and the Activesync box shows on your Computer, when u go to File > Connection settings.
Is the tab "This computer is connected to:"
set to "the internet"
Cuz that was the problem with mine. I set it to internet, and voila!, hello world wide web.
i only want to transfer music+videos+photos etc, not bothered about syncing the other stuff like contacts or using it to go online as im on an unlimited data tariff anyway
I'm having somewhat similar issues to the OP. Activesync Sync's fine, I can transfer files to/from the phone...however Passthrough doesn't work. I've disabled my firewall, and checked and rechecked all the settings on the PC and the Phone with no luck. If anyone has anything to suggest please let me know.

I hope it's ok to ask this question in your thread. It regards activesync and outlook. My problem is that I can not add a calendar event with any text added to the note field on my cell phone (Cingular 8125) and have it sync to Outlook on the PC. I always get an "attention required" message followed by a error code: support code 1.
If I only have a calendar topic and location without any notes, it syncs up fine. Or I can add an event on the PC and have lots of notes and it syncs to the phone just fine...but not vice versa.
Just wondering if any of you have a similar issue - I have Activesync 4.2 and Outlook 2002
Incidentally, I can surf thru my phone when connected usb to my Dell Inspiron notebook.
thanks
hey xda..i recent down a rom for my tmo wing open-touch 3.0 for wing only i believe its called now i cant upload anymore roms because it saying it cant read the connection is the 6.1 affecting the connection?ill get error 222 i believe when i upload rom help plz thanx
Im sorry, but your post doesn't really make any sense and was kind of unintelligible.
It sounds to me like youre trying to flash a rom onto your phone but its giving you a connection error? IF that's the case, uninstall activesync, and redownload it from MICROSOFT
If that's not what you mean, Could you please try to explain it a little better?
I Think this might workout,
Start -> Settings -> Connections-> USB to PC
There uncheck the Box and it might do it.

I've had a similar issue. Once doing the Hard SPL and the screen goes white, disconnecting active sync. I can never get active sync to reconnect to finish with the flashing process. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling active sync 4.5. Unplugging and plugging usb cable back in, etc. Nothing seems to work for me on getting active sync to connect after my phone reaches the white out screen part. It shows the Wing in the Mobile Device section.I've tried going to connection settings in active sync and clicking connect...just goes through all the com ports, but nothing happens. I'm left with the only option of disconnecting and doing a soft reset. Once that happens, of course the phone connects instantly to active sync.
Keep in mind, activesync will only show connected as long as windows is running on the phone and establishing the connection between your Windows PC and Windows Mobile Device.
Throughout the flashing process, activesync may not show connected, but as long as the phone is showing up in your device manager then you should be ok... and the flashing process should work.
Everytime I try and sync my Dual I get the messge "To synchronize this device, you must install Activesync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer". I have been all over the internet looking for a solution but nothing works. I have installed the newest version of Mobile Device Center and updated, unchecked the usb to pc box under connections, nothing works. Can someone plese help me out.
which OS are you using in your desktop pc?
worth a try
1/turn on the speaker volune of your pc + make sure in connecton setting allow usb setting is ticked
2/connect the phone do you hear a sound on connection?
3/does connecting the phone open up the software? if so what happens next?
4/do you have a firewall installed on your pc if so switch it off and try and reconnect the phone this is only for syncing if you are going to use internet sharing then switch back on the firewall/antivirus as it will not affect the network connection
5/if you want to sync with the firewall switched on go to the manufacture of your firewalls(i.e mcfee/norton) website and under support you will find configuration info relating to activesync and firewall software,otherwise do a google search for configuring active sync with your firewall (i.e norton,mcfee)
6/if still no luck try installing the active sync software on another pc and try syncing
7/ what operating system are you using
Yes, check your firewall settings. Had the same problem with NOD.
well i couldnt get it to sync so i just said screw it and reformatted my laptop then did all updates then tried to sync and it worked fine.
My ActiveSync won't Sync
I found with "Enable faster data synchronization check box" ON then doesn't even start ActiveSync on PC. Instead the LAN icon starts searching for an IP.
if OFF then it tries then ActiveSync says ERROR code 85010001
this page
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php
says An invalid HTTP communication or protocol syntax occurred.
reboot doesn't help.
Are you sync to Exchange of PC files?
if Exchange, try turn off push update, sync, and turn it back on.
sounds like it's stuck in modem mode or something.. have you tried switching between modes? e.g. put it in modem mode and disk drive and then activesync again..
no Exchange
turned off all except contact/calendar
tried disk drive and then activesync but no good
then tried turning bluetooth off and it worked with with "Enable faster data synchronization check box" off
so still not perfect
The more complex, the more can go wrong. Recently my HD2 has not been running activesync on connection. It is a problem after I have hibernated my PC, but also randomly at other times after a disconnect and reconnect.
Following hte advice above I've tried the change to modem, change to disk and back to activesync, but that did not help. Unchecking the "Enable faster data synchronization check box" has now allowed it to connect.
While activesync was unable to connect, I could still connect using a brilliant little program, sadly not recently updated, called mymobiler. That lets me control the HD2 from my PC< and do screen dumps as well. So how come that would connect but MS Activesync would not? And it was not a new install, I've had that since my first few days of the HD2 and worked well until the last couple of weeks, when this issue has become increasingly annoying.
While activesync was telling me I was disconnected, in the Windows 7 Devices and Printers there was an icon for a "Generic RNDIS" but nothing else about it. When on the HD2 I go back into USB to PC and check the tickbox for "Enable faster data synchronization" that icon reappears. Maybe disabling then enabling this check box has sorted it. Time will tell.
Hmmm...
It is not a new issue with activesync and htc phones. This thread is a year old.
In fact a search of hte web shows htis is common across several makes of phone.
Damn. When I installed HTC's latest hotfix for SMS, it soft reset the HD2.
On restart, the HD2 was not recognised by the PC, but it does show in Devices and Printers as the generic RBIS. So; uncheck the "Enable faster data synchronization" and it appears on the PC as a Generic Serial device, then becomes a live device in the Mobile Device Centre. I guess we won't be using faster then.
What I don;'t understand is why both of the showings in the Devices and Printers are Generic. Surely there is a driver?
argh, now it's broken again, had BT on...
htc has no clue and suggests (again) that I just keep creating a new partnership each time I have this issue (daily)
Are you sync'ing to an external exchaneg server as well as locally?
I had an issue with mine that the external exchange and local seemed to clash some how, I deleted the external and all internal connections from the phone's active sync screen and then the local PCwas able to re sync, then added each of the other conections and made sure that there where no contradictions in the syncing rules?
Maybe not your issue but worth mentioning!

I regret this is incomprehensible. "nowt" means nothing, so you are saying that nothing is broken again. That would be good, not bad. Your post then stops part way through and concludes negatively against HTC, though for no reason whatsoever. Please could you repost with something that makes sense?
I have no exchange servers, just local PC,
but all errors are exchange related, so HTC say.
if you dont have an exchange server then remove it completely ftom the list of sync locations (i cant remember how you do this, but its the same screen where you select what you want to sync). ive found that if it isnt being recognised that removing the phone from device manager list in windows (deleting drivers/software if asked) and reconnecting the phone seems to work. i have my driver install set to use windows update to locate drivers so try this as well
HD2 won't activesync via bluetooth
My LEO do sync properly via USB. Not connect absolutely via BT.
my setting is :
internal GPS connect via COM4 to TomTom7, VisualGPSce, TutorAssist
and seems to be:
bluetooth port IN is COM1
bluetooth port OUT is COM2
In my Notebook the lonely Local port is COM5. No other one is available
ActiveSync Bluetooth connection is set on COM5
So i know this thread is way old but figured id give it a try. The screen cracked on my TP2 and I cant get WMDC to recognize my device to pull the data. I'm pretty sure that enable faster data synchronization is checked and my screens broken so i can't fix that. Is there another way I can access the phone? Any help is appreciated ty.
Hi,
Any solution?
I got windows 7, when i connect the hd2 notices charging(?).. at least a sound is played and some charging icon
Pc doesnt show any connection at all.
reg setting correct (proxy thing under windowsphone bla)?
set the time and date correct on phone?
Time and Date is correct now, what do you mean by reg?
As I can't access the phone, I can't change reg either.
btw charging doesnt work?
Open up device manager and check if you have an unknown device, if you do just right click and update drive, and select auto install.
I had the same problem as you and after doing as explaind all works, zune finds the phone and all is well.
