I have tried to Sync my XDA with Outlook. When I connect the XDA to the cradle, the Active Sync programme icon in the system tray of the PC spins around a green colour and the programme says "connecting". However, it never connects to the XDA so that I can synchronise it.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks.

Hi there i wonder if someone could help me! I have an XDA11 which seems to be working fine. However i have a problem with activ sync 3.8. Upon placing the XDA11 in it's cradle activ sync opens on my pc and shows that it's connected but it doesn't sync. Have tried all of the settings and reloading the package but to no avail!
The problem lies "i think" with the fact that upon connection it doesn't highlight the green sync button. But i know it's connected cos i can transfer data from the pc to the XDA11 quite easily and vice versa.
Please help!!
Many Thanks

My XDA will no longer sync with my desktop PC (Running WinXP) via the cradle on USB or by bluetooth. The PDA has been previously synchronising untill the XDA was left uncharged for about 3 months. I have tried all the obivious things I can think of i.e
Disabling Firewall, Reloading MS Active Sync 3.7/3.8, removing all devices from other USB ports, XDA Hard reset, I have also tried a different PC running win 2000 the result is the same.
When the XDA is inserted into the cradle the PC makes the acknlowledge sound and the device shows CONNECTING USB but thats as far as it goes. The same thing happens when I try a bluetooth connection , the XDA shows connecting via bluetooth but does not connect.
I was wondering if it is possible to perform a ROM upgrade via the SD card, if so how does one perform such an operation. I am wondering if I have some sort of file corruption/missing drivers on the XDA!!!
Any ideas or comments will be greatfully received.
tried a hardreset ?
Hey all, new to the forum.. great site with some great info! I currently own a hermes, and upgraded to wm6.. however, when i connect to active sync through my usb, it gives me this noise (regular usb connect sound doubled) and active sync cannot detect my device. Shortly after it just disconnects and goes to charging. I know this is not a usb port issue because i have tried all ports, connected my digital camera etc etc. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated... because having 25% of my contacts is a pita!! lol
Are you using the USB cable that came with your phone?
I have many USB devices and find that some of the cables do not work due to the amount of pins that are connected at each end.
Also what version of OS do you use and activesync/WMDC?
I have same problem with WM6 and ActiveSync4.5. I'm using the same USB cable I was prior to upgrading to WM6 and never had any problems back then. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling AS but still no luck
Right now, I'm trying to find some other alternatives to AS which can sync Outlook contacts and calendar appointments etc.
Quick question, when you guys connect does activesync get stuck at Retrieving Settings????
I get problems with the actual syncing of information. The device is recognised and sync starts, it just takes ages and can fail sometimes.
Other days it syncs straight away without problems.
WM6 AUS ROM
Vista
WMDC 6.1
I am in a bad situation, I have modified contacts, tasks, calendar items on my PPC, and now I can not sync my PPC with my PC any more. Each time I connect my PPC to the PC, I can see the green icon in the system tray turn for about 3 minutes and then it stops and I get the error message:
"
ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile powered device. To troubleshoot the problem, click OK.
"
I have tried to solve this by changing the USB to PC settings on my PC and by using MemMaid to rebuild the events. But no success at all.
I think the problem is that normally my PPC shows a connecting message when you plug it to a PC, and I do not have this message any more. How can I get it back ? how to force ActiveSync to sync ?
Thanks for any help, chris
I have found the solution ! So for everyone having the same problem: use MemMaid and delete every 'duplicated event' entries.
That's all, your PocketPC should now be sync properly.

Hi, I'm using Samsung Omnia II (WM 6.5). I have my contacts on my phone and want to upload to outlook via ActiveSync 4.5.
After setting up a connection and ActiveSync telling me sync is completed, there is nothing in outlook. It seems ActiveSync can't upload contacts from phone to PC.
Do you have any ideas to fix it?
Thank you very much.
Isnt there an option when connected to the phone in active sync to get contacts from phone to pc instead of the other way round, something like make changes on the pc and not the phone,
