Check the ActiveSynch icon. If it is greyed, it means ur XDA2 is not synchronized/connected to ur computer.
It has to be "light green color" icon.
you its light green and if i double click "my pocket pc documents" from the desktop i can connect to the " My Documents" dir on the phone..
but when i click on the phone icon in explorer nothing comes up whereas on my old xda i used to have all the dirs inc windows and a load of others..

I suffer from the same problem but mine is rather strange. I have an iMate with the latest firmware. My home PC runs Win XP.
On a clean reboot, I am able to access my iMate using Windows Explorer. However, if I pull my iMate off the cradle and put it back on later, Windows Explorer will show me a blank directory and no amount of refreshing will cure the problem! I have to REBOOT WINDOWS before it will see the files again!
I am most annoyed with Microsoft. I have been using Palm for the past 5 years and have never had a problem like this.
I've run across the same problem using any PDA device (i.e. not only XDA2/MDA2) running WM2003 and ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a WinXP machine. Suppose it's got something to do with the AS 3.7.1 and WinXP being used together as I'd never had similar issue with AS 3.x on the same PC. Moreover, all runs just fine even with ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a PC with Win98.
What helps to solve the problem for me is closing the open window previously used for browsing the PDA and then opening it again by either hitting the Explore button in the ActiveSync window or clicking the Mobile Device icon in My Computer.

Just so you guys know, I managed to fix the problem by uninstalling ActiveSync 3.7.1 and reinstalling AS 3.7.
I noticed a lot of these problems also go away if you close all open explorer windows on the XP machine and then retry. Some caching bug probably...
I'm putting this under General because I don't think it's specific to any phone. I have the Sprint Mogul and updated to the 3.16 ROM. I've only done a few other tweaks and added HTC Home. My issue is everytime I connect/disconnect to my PC via USB, ActiveSync starts and then Windows Explorer opens. I don't know why Windows Explorer opens, but don't like it. Is there some way of turning this off?
ActiveSync opens Explorer too
Yes, I'm experiencing the same, but It looks like there is no hope. Another folk posted it in microsoft forum and someone called "help_line" gave some couple hints but couldn't figure out the problem and left us alone.
its probably some type of autorun.......
i would imagine it is computer side, not phone side.
Hehe this is an old windows problem. What happens is that a program tries to launch another program which is located in a folder containing spaces, such as "Program Files". The path to this program should be enclosed in quotation sign to avoid this problem. You need to fins out which program AS tries to open, find it in the registry and change it. For example if your path is this:
C:\Program Files\myprogram\foo.exe
change the string to
"C:\Program Files\myprogram\foo.exe"
I had the same problem and a search found the answer. It's in the registry on your PC somewhere. There's a setting about wehat the PC does when it detects a connection through ActiveSync (and another action for disconnecting). You have to delete those keys.
The Registry Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnDisconnect]
I deleted those keys and it stopped happening. I think something corrupts them. They re-appear later but without the problem.
Hope that helps.

This worked for me as well when I had the same issue.
Hi folks
I'm waiting on a nice shiny new Samsung Omnia arriving from my mobile provider, but in the meantime I'm still using my old HTC Trinity handset... and have managed to break the screen on it. I'd love to recover my data, but ActiveSync hasn't managed to get my contacts into Outlook and I don't think it can get my SMS.
Any ideas on how I can recover my data, preferably in a way that I can then put it onto the new Omnia when it arrives?
Thanks in advance for help everyone!
Uso SOTI controller or whatever it's called to see the PPC screen on the PC screen. Navigate using PC mouse etc.

QFT. Use SOTI Pocket Controller (which you can download a trial for free from SOTI's website) and you can control your PPC on your PC's screen.
^^ What they said, but use MyMobiler (which is free forever ) from here.
Also you should be able to use ActiveSync/Explore to install DotFred's PPCPimBackup (here) - it's just an .EXE you need to copy somewhere on your Trinity, then run it (using the MyMobiler screen to guide you) and backup all your contacts and SMS messages (and calendar, tasks etc. if you wish) - if you have a lot of contacts/messages, make sure you un-tick the "use memory for temporary files" option.
The resultant backup file can then be copied back to your desktop PC and you can perform the reverse operation - with or without the help of MyMobiler - when your Omnia arrives.
Cheers,
Mark.
I am in the same situation.
I had an Eten device before and now have a Diamond.
The problem is that the screen is broken and most (all ?) of the controlling apps need a software PPC-side, and without screen it's quite hard to install.
As long as MyMobiler can establish an ActiveSync-type connection with the phone (i.e. if you've got the phone and PC connected via A/S) you'll be fine - MyMobiler will install the software on the phone itself....I don't even think it asks any questions.

Thanks, I'd not heard of MyMobiler but I just downloaded it and it connects to my phone quickly and automatically without even having to set it up in the first place. Nice one.
Hi. I accidently cracked the screen on my s740 and now i need to extract my sms from the phone. I have already installed my mobile, but the damn program doesent seem to work. I have win xp, but when the phone syncs to my computer, my mobile says: "Not connected" -> "Connecting" -> "Running on your mobile" -> "Not conneted".
It is slow as hell and doesent respond in windows, it doesnt seem to be able to connect to my phone.
So, here is the deal, my screen is busted, and i have a very important sms in my phone that i HAVE to extract from the phone.
So, can i copy some file from the phone, containing all the smses and then extract in windows on my computer? If not, how am i supposed to do? PIM Backup can only be run on the phone and my screen is cracked.
Please HELP!
IT IS URGENT!

Try this...right click on the my mobiler icon in your pc's taskbar, choose "configure mobile", then "install". Sometimes I've had to manually force that step to get it to allow connection.
EDIT: also, is it making a solid activesync connection to begin with?
Reviving an old thread
What happens if I can't make an activesync connection? I think at some point I disabled the auto-connect on the phone and now it may require my input to connect.
(Its an elfin with one of the latest onyx roms)
I had to RMA my previous phone, so after I got my new phone I set it up. My old phone worked just fine, just the headphone jack didn't work.
However, my new phone cannot open any office files. If I go to the office app, it doesn't load any notebooks...it just says it is finding notebooks but nothing happens. It does load word and excel files though...however, I can't open up those files when I click on them. The phone downloads the file, but nothing happens afterwards. Blank screen.
Now, if I perform a soft reset and use SkyDrive, I can navigate and open up my files from there. However, if I try to open up a file using office first, fail, and then try to open up the file with SkyDrive then it will then fail.
I have tried resetting office multiple times, and renamed personal (web) , and even moved that file to another location. Still the same problem. Weirdly enough, even if I rename or move personal (web), the office app does not recreate the notebook.
Short version: Office refuses to load files and sync properly on new phone even with soft resets of phone and office.

You just need to reset Office in Configuration->Applications->Office->Reset. I had to restart the phone before it did let me to reset Office.
After that it was just simply a matter of synchronize the files.
For the last several months, I can download and upload to my shared folders on my Windows 10 Pro PC, with no problems at all using FX Explorer, via SMB2. Never a glitz or slowdown, no problems whatso ever, no matter what ROM I happened to be running at the time.
The problem I am now having started yesterday, when I installed the new Windows 10 Pro x64 Fall Creators Update on my PC. I did a clean install, and set up the system from scratch. I did all my Network settings for sharing, just like before, and I set the Share permissions on 2 folders that I use for my OPO, just like before. Made sure that SMB2 protocol is enabled on the PC also.
I created a new LAN connection in FX Explorer to the new Windows OS, and tried to connect. Well, it sort of does connect, but mostly does not. When I try to access the shared folder on my PC, I can see the 2 folders in the Explorer list-view on my phone, but when I try to enter either one of the folders, all I get is a spinning circle for about a minute, and then get a report in big red letters that there was a "Network Error".
Well, that's a first on the OPO, for sure! To double check that I had set up the new Windows OS correctly, I connected to the shared folders using a laptop via WiFi, and it connects and reads the contents perfectly fine. I then gave it a go with a second PC in the house, and that PC also was able to read/write great to the shared folders.
OK.... so, the folders on the main PC are in fact, being shared, and other PCs can access them, but my OPO cannot, no matter what I try. Like I said, it sees the shared folders, but when I try to enter either one of them, it just craps out. I've tried 3 different file managers, all with the same results. I've tried anonymous connect, and password connect, both with the same result.
I even disabled the firewall on my PC to see if that was the problem (which I did not do for the 2 PCs that did connect) , and tried again with my OPO, but no joy, once again..
I am totally baffled. I have spent probably the better part of 6 hours on the net searching for solutions and answers, including this forum, but again, no joy, and then trying all things I could think of to do. Does anyone have any idea what can be causing this issue all the sudden? Any ideas at all as to why this is happening? You have no idea how much I would appreciate a solution to this problem. I even went so far as to restore a complete backup image I had made just before upgrading the PC, and with the old image installed on the PC, my OPO would once again connect to the shares perfect. So, not a hardware issue with my OPO either..
Thanks for reading this long post!!
