I've recently upgraded my MDAc with the T-Mobile 1.13 ROM upgrade from their website.
Everything else seems to be fine except for ActiveSync, it's very tempremental- I managed to sync up data on the first connection but later that same day, I connected the device again and it doesn't seem to do anything except charge. I don't even see the AS tray icon either.
Anyone else had similar problems (and solutions for it)?
Thanks.
Had same type of problem myself, fix was to shut down Activesync on computer completly and deinstall, the reinstall active sync(3.8.0) connect device and give a new device name.
Ok thanks- I will give that a go.... I've got AS installed on 4 PCs :shock:
Still doesn't work- I remember actually trying re-installing AS on another machine with the same result.
Think I may have to go back to the 1.12 ROM.
Try hardresetting device sometimes it takes more than one go to get it stable!!!!!!!!!
I've tried about 5 hard resets now...
But it seems to work for the first couple of times then no more.
Another thing, I tried installing Card Export again and the icon for that also does not show up on the tray.
Anyone know if it is possible to downgrade to 1.12 with a shipped ROM?
If u get an AS connection that is stable then yes
Just to 'close' the topic; I went back to 1.12 ROM and all seems fine again.

Righ, I hope someone can help...
downloaded Faria ROM, ran flash utiliy, when it gets to 99%, the utility quits out with the communication error message. The phone, in the meantime, gets stuck on the 99% bit, and doesn't seem to go any further.
Any suggestions, please?
A.
Did you flash to T-Mobile 2.26 b4 upgrading?
Trying searching for solutions. Your problem has been asked several times in different threads... Including Faria's "The Real Thing" thread..
Actually solved it now, using the ShellTool tool...
However, got two new problems:
When trying to re-sync my contacts, I get an error 8007000e, device not having enough memory. Tried rebooting both my laptop and my wizard, bu nothing solved it. Searched the forums, found one reference, but no solution. If anyone has seen this, any ideas? I've also tried removing my partnership, to no avail.
Second problem I guess could be related - when I try to launch contacts on my PPC, it seems to launch, but it goes back to desktop straight away.

Did you use some backup utility (like Spb Backup) to restore your contacts from WM5 to your new WM6 device? WM5 PIM Database is a different format than WM6 PIM database and I've seen similar errors when someone tried doing a restore from a WM5 backup to a WM6 install.
I'm just using outlook 2003... synced all my contacts into it, and assumed WM6 would sync them back up again?

Yes, that is correct (you upgraded to ActiveSync 4.5, right?). Not sure about your error then as I suspected a WM5 backup restored on WM6.
When you upgraded to WM6, did you flash back to an official ROM (like TMobile 2.26) before doing the Faria WM6 rom? I find it cleaner to not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom.
At this point, I think its worth reflashing your phone. Drop back to an official rom then upgrade to the Faria one.
BTW: You've never mentioned if you have a G3 or G4. So if you are a G4 be careful doing this.
yeah, it's a G4...
I think, for the time being, I might drop back to WM5, as I'm travelling from tomorrow, and need my contacts... i'll try again when I get back on monday.
I have exactly the same problems
- activesync memory error
- contacts and new appointments problem
I already flashed my Wizard G4 (MDA Vario T-Mobile) several times with Faria's and X-plode and everyting goes smoothly but the erros always show up. Beside those errors, everything else seems to work just fine. WPA2, GPS softw, phone, etc etc
AdamR78: what rom of WM5 are you using? Can you give me a link so I can download it?
As for the contacts and new appointment problem it seems that if we run Clear Storage (Settings --> System --> Clear Storage) it does the trick. At least for me it seems to be working.

Hi. Just flashed a WM6 ROM onto my Artemis for the first time and it told me I had to upgrade ActiveSync to version 4.5 or higher, so I did just that.
It connects and transfers fine. The problem is that every time I turn on my computer it produces about 3 pop-ups. One is asking me to create a new partnership, another says something about disconnecting from COM port, and something else I can't remember right now.
I also installed it a while ago and it did the exact same thing so I uninstalled it and went back to using an older version wehich solved the problem. Unfortunately I don't have that option now I'm using WM6.
Can anyone help? Anyone had the same problem?
Weird, I've never seen that before.
I have seen similar popups on my laptop from time to time. They read something like ACTIVESYNC COULD NOT CONNECT TO THE COM PORT... and another one DO YOU WANT TO DISCONNECT FROM THE COM PORT... or something like that. I have not really researched this issue, but it seemed to happen only when I had an activesync connection (bluetooth in my case) to my laptop, then just took my phone out of range and left the laptop on so that it went into standby or powersave mode. The next morning I would find a whole bunch of these popups on the screen. I have never seen them after a clean boot of my pc.
Hmmm. Any solutions that don't involve formatting my PC? It's strange how it's only version 4.5 that does it. Are there any newer ones? Like a 4.6 beta or something?
I have searched extensively and can't find answers that work for me.
I have tried several of the latest 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 roms on my Wing (which is HardSPL'd) and almost all of them have the same issues:
1) My USB to PC icon is gone in Settings\Connections. Did MS move it somewhere else? I'm having Activesync issues and think this is why, but can't change the "advanced network setting."
2) Wifi... I tap on it to turn it on or off, and more than half the time, nothing happens. It'll either stay on, or stay off. Ideas?
I had some of the same issues with some older 6.5 roms as well. Do I need to update/downgrade some of the individual device drivers or something? I'm at a loss.
Thanks, and sorry if this repeats anyone else's posts.
I am also having similar issues. I HardSPLed my wing and after I did that successfully I decided to update my wing with SIMPLY EVERYTHING 6.5.1 BUILD 23616 so I flashed it on my wing. It's installed fine and is working but now my wing doesn't connect via active sync to my PC (same PC i used to HardSPL my wing and flash this build). The USB cable is connected firmly as it does charge my phone, just fails to connect the phone with the PC via active sync.
I would really appreciate if someone can either provide a fix for this issue on this thread or tell us a way to somehow flash the device with another ROM (from storage card somehow).
Thanks in advance.
Sort of solved...
This is the one I found that works best on my Wing:
Search forums for "Illconcepts Current Projects" (won't let me post a link)
(the 28014 Titanium at the top of the page)
It is flashed from SD card like most are now (nice!).
Occasionally (usually after soft reset) the first time I try to turn on wifi it will fail to start the wifi, but it works after that until next soft reset. Have had no connection issues with ActiveSync.
Big plus of this rom is that it's fast, is lean and leaves lots of program space. I added Office and such, but on the SD card, so I can still run Skyfire (just about every other rom I tried didn't have enough program memory free to consistently run Skyfire after I installed all my standard programs).
Only down side I see (if this is one?) is that it has old PIE, not newer version, and PIE doesn't work properly at all. Only problem this has caused me is making it difficult to download/install java apps easily, as Opera Mini always seems to give me "invoke errors" when I try to download files, and since Skyfire only seems to be detected as a "full" browser, it won't pull up mobile versions of most sites, thus won't get access to the java app links, etc. Would be nice to hear of a solution for this (preferably how to fix Opera Mini's "Opera Invoke Error")
i guess this wil help u all coz it worked for me

all you guys just need to open network cards under connections in settings. just tap the Sdio wlan wirelss adapter and then select name servers and copy the dns and alt dns as the same as in your desktops. Select ok and restart your phone..
it should work just fine...
all the best..
uh...no...
Doesn't have anything to do with DNS settings. DNS settings doesn't affect whether or not the wifi card turns ON or OFF. It affects connections. This is different, dude.
Hi everybody
I have an HTC Fuze (ATT). The ROM I used was NATF v5. series. I tried a couple of days ago to sync it with my computer but it gave me an "USB device not recognized" message. I did a hard reset but it didn't change anything. I changed the "Energy" rom, but I had the same problem. I tried now to sync the phone with another laptop but I have the same message, so something happened with the phone. What I noticed was the fact that actually when I hard reseted, I still had the NATF 5.series screen shot, even if the rom was the energy one. I appreciate each answer as I don't know what I can do more.

Had you try other cables Sir?
NATF splash screen will remain there, because when you flash Energy ROM, it didn't contain splash screen, so it wouldn't be replaced.
I tried a different cable, as well as a different computer. On the new computer there was no previous activesync installed. This led me to belive that there is a problem in the registry somewhere, but I don't know what to change. I also installed the Activesync 4.5 several times. on the ald and new computer, but nothing helps. No firewall active.
Adriciu
<- same problem
Anybody has any ideas?
What about using other phones, if it's okay then the problem was on Your phone, vice versa.
In my opinion, to get phone connected, we must have Activesync (for Win XP) or WMDC (for Vista) installed, good cable (original preferred) and good phone condition (H/W or S/W)
Hope You solve it soon Sir.
I have reinstalled the ATT rom, but is still gives me a "USB device not recognized" message. So I think something is wrong with my phone. Is there any way where I can clean up the whole registry and start from a clean fresh phone?
Still not working.
I had a simmilar problem a long time back.... How I fixed it was I deleted that connection setting for that phone in activesync... Then rebooted...Try to connect it then... If it still doesn;t work, UNINSTALL activesync... reboot... reboot again for good measure.. then reinstall it... reboot... Then try to connect again.... a lot of steps, but it worked for me when I put a diffrent on an old phone I had...
OK, some updates. I tried syncing with another laptop and it is not working. I tried doing the same thing with an Apple comp and it doesn't even see it as an usb device. However I tried syncing wifi with my gmail account and it is giving me the following error message: "The configuration on your Exchange server prevents you from synchronizing. Support code: 0x85010004". So I think there is a setting I don't know how to change.
I'm going through this problem for almost 4 weeks, just when I was away of a computer by 1 mile..
I was getting problems to connect to internet with my PDA, and nothing worked.
Then some apps stopped working (like Messenger, Internet Explorer, and such included apps) and I decided to format my phone by using the HardSPL method. Installed everything again, and then everything was working fine.
After a few days, the buttons stopped working: Couldn't answer calls, or use D-Pad, couldn't get off standby mode and so on. Every time I needed to use my phone, I got to hardreset the PDA, wait it to power on, and use it. It was VERY annoying. So, formatted again and installed a new ROM. Everything worked fine and after a few days, again.. Couldn't get off standby mode.
I read somewhere that it happens when the SD card becomes faulty. It was. I formatted the SD and copied all the contents again. Formatted again the phone, and installed everything again. After a few minutes (yes, minutes), the phone wasn't responding again. I got to plug the headphones and press the HF key and sometimes it got back from standby.
When phone is kind of.. "null", I can't receive calls. SMS are rejected. But the power, Bluetooth and Wifi light keeps blinking as it was active.
I'm using a temporary phone right now. I can't handle it anymore. But I miss my PDA :S
A bit more info: I'm using Spanish NiAX WM6.5.3 ROM. And first ROM was Spanish NiAX WM6.5.1. Maybe it's a ROM fault. I don't know :S
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance..
PS: Read some other threads about this. Switched 3G/2G, changed SIMCARD and SDCard and still not working
EDIT
The problem is my Polaris has a couple bad blocks on its NAND.
In traditional english: The support of the OS (AKA Windows Mobile, or Android, for example) is damaged, so in certain points the data written becomes inaccessible or has trash data. That's the reason the phone doesn't wake up.
I can happen too if you have a faulty SDCard. The point is: Some data couldn't be read.
Currently I'm researching about how to live with this. There's nothing to do with Windows Mobile as far as I know, but we can make it work by using some custom set-up of Android.
I'll let you all know if I get some news, or see HERE where I'll post everything I find
Regards!
Bump!
Please, I'm travelling this week and my temporary phone now is broken, too...

That could be your problem(corrupted files) Check for viruses too(Not too careful)
Thanks A LOT for your answer.
I think that can't be the problem, since I formatted the SD card and put all the fresh content again (music an cabs from my home PC).
I found out that a new fresh installed rom works fine, until I install any cab.
The cabs I have, are stored on SDcard and installed to Phone Memory.
Maybe CABS are faulty. Or it's not recommendend to install from the SDCard.
I'll try installing the new rom again, and Installing all cabs from Activesync.
I'll publish any news.
Thanks!
Still not working.
I read somewhere that this is caused by SRS WOW with Security off patch.
tomorrow I'll reinstall the rom again, and all the software without that cab.
Worked fine for 3 minutes, SDCard wasn't plugged and failed once installed Simcard.
What comes into my mind, try downgrading everything to official HTC ROM, by everything i mean also radio(unplug sdcard and simcard when flashing)
Then check if it works, if not maybe there's hardware fault.
Try different simcard too.
What software are you using?
I suggest you follow pcarvalhos or alexander-voigt instructions on how to flash (basically you have to flash official wm6.1 before flashing a ROM if you observe stability issues) and then flash pcarvalho, alexander voigt (or mines). It should work if you follow the instructions exactly. Then try again Niax' rom
Post #1 updated about the reason of this.
Regards!
