SPB Time screen saver problem - General Topics

Hi guys,
I just install SPB Time (downloaded from official website) and found that the clock screen saver would only show up when I put my PDA onto the cradle. No metter how I configure its setting (like remove all program from the exception list), it still only worked when connected to PC.
If the screen saver can not be working without a PC connection, that would be totally useless wouldn't it.
Has any one experienced similar problem?

ActiveSync stopped working!

Case data:
- Stock and new HTC Touch Pro, fw 1.90.401.1.
- I think this has started somewhere around after I played with Advanced Configuration for Diamond (read below).
- I also tried to change everything back to normal (in the tool) but it didn't fix anything.
- I didn't touch anything that can be considered related to the case except maybe the Comm Manager modes that A.C.f.D. has (and tried the extra buttons) ...I did some changes but A.C.f.D. seems very buggy in that area and now I am back to what I think was the default.
- Internet Sharing is disconnected.
- When I set USB to PC to go to disk drive mode, it works.
- When I set USB to PC to DISABLE advanced network functionality, WORKS (don't want to stay like that, since the "good mode" worked fine).
- When I set "ask about connection type" DOESN'T ASK (anymore)!
- When USB to PC is in advanced network functionality, nothing happens. ActiveSync doesn't start and WM Device Center doesn't detect anything. I think something very briefly flashes in my Vista notification area (possibly some USB detection that goes on and off?).
...this (and the ask connection type above) is my problem. It worked fine before.
- Bluetooth ActiveSync works.
- WiFi works ok and 3G is enabled.
I have made plenty of soft resets (and PC reboots), I want to try to avoid hard reset if possible.
Any ideas?
edit: Noticed that in device manager, when I link with the "problem" mode that doesn't work, I get "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" in my network adapters. Is this normal? I think this only shows when Internet Sharing is enabled in WM... maybe it is stuck in this mode somehow?
Forget it!
The last edit above, made me think.
So I went to Internet Sharing, verified that it was disconnected, clicked connect.
It briefly popped that I should check my USB connection (aha) but then connected anyway!
So I clicked again to disconnect and this eliminated the network adapter mentioned above (in my Vista) and returned to the (normal it seems) "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and ActiveSync kicked in!

I think this thread should go to the issues thread?
Internet sharing can wreck advanced network functionality
I had the same problem: first I only noticed the usb popup not popping up, then of course activesync also didn't connect. Every other thread advises to turn advanced network functionality off, which fixes activesync, but the usb popup selector doesn't come back, and I think this way the system reverts to some compatibility mode. I didn't like this.
I kept searching for the phrase "advanced network functionality stopped working", which finally brought your message, with the solution, thank you for taking the time to post both the problem and the solution.
PS: Now I posted the keywords which came to my mind, hopefully helping to find this solution easier.
Thanks so much bro for that... It was a pain trying to find a solution. But once again search comes out the solution.!
Hm, I had the issue where ActiveSync completely quit. I could use internet sharing or disk drive functions and my Raphael would charge, but the USB connection would not come up and ActiveSync would not connect. My contacts and appointments disappeared from my phone.
I was able to solve the issue by uninstalling a recent cab I had added, which merely served to replace my Bluetooth taskbar icons. No idea why this cab caused such awful behavior, but I'm glad to have avoided a hard reset.

Activesync won't recognize Raphael,...

hello everyone,
I cannot get Activesync to recognize my htc touch pro no matter what i do,... i've uninstalled and reinstalled shut everything off then on, followed all of MS's advice, and nothing works,...
Any suggestions,...? No problems connecting my tytn II and my hermes,...
thanks,

Are you running any firewall software? If so, this is relevant to you.
start>>settings>>connections>>usbtopc>> un check the "enable advanced network functionality"
sorry attnoob, was trying for your quick fix, but it didn't work,... thanks anyway,... now will go to the firewall issues noted above, but i already opened the ports as per ms's recommendations in help,...
will try other suggestions and get back to you,...
ok, so allenh, read all the info at the link you sent me, and actually did all these things yesterday, but it didn't work,... also, something strange happens when i hook the device to the PC in that, the device immediately goes to the 'internet sharing' program you use when tethering, it establishes a connection with the internet, and there is a comments saying 'check usb cable connection' and this never happened with the tytn II,...
your help is appreciated,...

Check the USB cable
It seems the USB cable the Tilt uses and the one the Raphael/Fuze use are different, If i use the cable that i usued with my tilt the computer would not recognize the Fuze it will charge it though, only if i use the usb cable that came with the Fuze it works fine.
Are you using the stock ROM or a cooked ROM. Some of the new cooked ROMS are having this problem.
Also, are you using Vista or XP. The problems seem to be with XP.
my fuze seems to also be having this issue... i can hear my laptop do the little noise saying something is attached but my phone never pops up with the screen anymore asking what i would like to do. sometimes i get lucky and it will randomly connect to active sync but would not give me any warning whether it was going to work or not.
btw, it didnt start doing this until i flashed NATF's v2.1 and also loaded a custom theme and toolbars and such.... it worked after i loaded NATF's rom, just randomly stopped at some point after that.
if you are putting on a new rom then put the phone in bootloader mode it worked for me

My Fuze is doing this too, excep every single time. I can't get Activesync to work through USB. And I'm running the stock ROM. Internet Sharing automatically connects.
Okay, I set Internet Sharing to Bluetooth PAN (instead of USB), which kept it from automatically starting when I plugged in the USB. This let ActiveSync and the 'choose a connection type' startup on my Fuze and everything has been fine.
Try your PC Network settings
Hi,
I have the same problem recently. My AS does not want to recognize my Raphael. What I did was go to the network setting of the PC (Network Connections) and disable the 1394 adapter. Then my AS now can recognize my Raphael. The next unsolved thing is how to make the connection stable enough to make happen the syncing.

Hi, I had similar problem. Once upon a time the connection between my Touch Pro (WM6.5.3) and PC stopped working. Activesync did nothing and after a minute gave error message with troubleshoot guide. So I opened control panel ---> device manager (with mobile connected via USB), where I found "Windows mobile based device" between network adapters. I opened it and under it's advanced settings I found "network address" which was set to "unavailable". So I changed it to 192.168.2.2 and now it works again ;-)
Hope it helps someone ;-)

Question which has troubled me for a long long time

Hi!
I wonder how you disconnect from activesync?
When I start activesync, a little icon for disconnecting the acitvesync will appear on tray bar.
However, as many UI like SPB, will cover the whole screen, and the tray bar will not be shown.
Therefore, I wonder if there are anyway to disconnect activesync saftely, without pressing that icon in the tray bar??
Once you remove your PDA from PC, it is automatically diconnected. Or you can use quick minu to disconnect. It is small program. You can find it here in this forum. Search it Or you use some free task manager. You can find it here also.
Look what I found using search

but i don't have the popup proble originally...
is it same as clicking on the small disconnect icon in tray bar?
pulling the plug or disableing bluetooth or however you sync
is perfectly safe when it's just connected and not in the middle of a sync
same thing with usbsticsk and pdas in storage mode
the safely remove part in windows is just so confused people
don't pull them out in the middle of a copy

you mean once the activesync stop trasnmitting data, i can simply unplug it and it will not hurt both the pc and the phone? That's good!
yes when activesync just say connected and is not syncing you can just disconnect it

[Q] Hardspl cant locate my phone

Hi,
Trying to hardspl my phone for the first time, read the noobs guide and wiki and tried searching but cant find the answer to this problem :
- .net frame work 3.5 on PC and compact version on Phone (does it matter which order this is done as reinstalled compact version via PC the other day after problem on phone?)
- Phone connected via usb cable to pc, memory card and sim card removed.
- active sync connection made
- run the RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe program gets as far as the screen with the progress bar and while still on 0% brings up an error 202 connection - phone could not be found - check connections
Phone remains connected and another active sync works fine (also cable works fine in usb mode)
is there software that can block this program ? firewall/virus checker etc ?
is this a common issue ?
Thanks.
tried my netbook today and same issue
- also tried reinstalling active sync
- removing firewall
- removing virus checker
- different usb cable
no different - same issue
My phone is a vodaphone branded Touch Pro : is there any thing different about this version that prevents the update ?
- anyway to install hardspl without active sync ? (looked but could not find one)
This is getting well frustrating now.
ok looks like i need SSPLManual.exe which might fix this....just got to find it now...
Hardspl cant locate my phone - SOLVED
ok fixed this problem now.
Tried using SSPL-Manual.exe to allow RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe to connect to my phone but although the screen on my phone turned black as I beleive its supposed to when RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe was run it Blue Screen Of Death my Netbook twice in a row so I had to abandon that.
I went back to playing with active sync and eventually managed to get it to work by doing the following :
1. connect phone to pc and allow active sync connection to be made but stop the synchrosnisation from pc (as soon as you can) end leaving active sync still connected.
2. on phone using the top right hand task list terminate active sync (on my phone this still left the connection icon active on the top menu bar.
3. then run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe - this then worked for me - at last !!
(I found this out by over a dozen attempts varying the combinations of active sync connections between phone and pc - this might vary i guess depending on your phone/pc setup)
After this ROM installed fine (via microSD card - wasnt going near ActiveSync again!!!

[Q] Sync Problem

Hey everybody!
I searched all over the Internet for an answer, even sent an email to htc, but my problem wasn't solved.
I have this connection problem with my HTC TYTN 2. When I connect it to my PC, my PPC starts charging, but on my desktop I get no notification at all that a device has been connected. I installed Active Sync, HTC Sync, and still didn't find anything. What could this possibly be? I managed to connect my PPC through wireless and using WIFI Remote (a PPC app). But I need an USB connection so that I can fully use it. Please help me, I've tried everything (I think)
