Active Sync Nightmare! - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

I am having real problems with Microsoft’s Active Sync 3.8.
Both on my laptop at home and on my pc at work.
I have lost count the number of times it fails to recognise the partnership and I have to recreate it! When it does, if forgets which PC the partnership was on and won’t let me connect to both!
Now it won’t sync the calendar for some reason!
I have tried to uninstall it and re-install wit no joy. I have tried Microsoft :evil: I have tried their newsgroups :roll:
I am wary about trying 4.1 ?
The only alternatives seem to rely on a version of AS to start with, but are there any other programmes, that don't rely on active sync and that work better?

I'm running 4.1 very sucessfully. Granted I've got a Himalaya, not a Magician.
Why not give 4.1 a try ... see if it works for you. If it doesn't, you can always uninstall and try something else.
I too would love to see something besides MS AS available - but haven't found anything thus far

So very sadly active sync 4.1 has not solved the problem!
Now i don't know which way to turn.
1.Could it be a problem with my PC at work or Laptop at home, if so do rebuild them both?
2.Could it be problem with active sync (version), therefore I don't know who to contact at Microsoft!
3.Could it be a problem witht he device its self, therefore is it HTC I contact, again!
A final though is to return this back to T-Mobile, ha ha!

so3,
did you start off using the Magician with ActiveSync 3.8? Maybe trying an older version would work:

Calendar Not Syncing via Exchange!!!

Have a Kaiser not TILT which out of the box had no issue calendar syncing via Exchange directly along w/ emails and contacts.
I am on the AT&T network as well.
Upgraded ROM to Schap's newest and calendar wouldn't sync
Upgraded to Dutty's Touch WWE as well and calendar wouldn't sync
My radio is the standard from Kaiser 1.27.12.11
ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED>>>
PLEASE HELP!!!

Just curious....
Are you syncing directly with Exchange via push-type activesync? Or syncing with your local calendar on your PC with activesync?
I am going direct to Exchange. For my company, I had to add Server Source in Activesync (after adding my company's security certificate), and enter in all the relevant info (server name, secure connection or not, username/password, etc).
Not sure if that sheds any light....good luck.

I am doing it directly to Exchange...we don't use certficates and it works on my hermes with no problem and with custom ROMS...yet once I began using custom ROMS on my Kaiser it stopped syncing ONLY my calendar items...I just deleted the partnership directly on the phone just now and re-added it back, but to no avail...problem still exists...during the initial sync Active Sync on the phone even says syncing 200 calendar items, yet the calendar shows nothing...
HELP!!!!
When you look in activesync on your phone does it give any error code etc? I have heard of issues with corrupt appointments giving off errors when syncing. Any error will stop the sync of that piece of outlook. IE email gets and error email won't sync, but calendar will etc etc...

Unfortunately no error codes at all it as if it works perfectly...yet when looking at your calendar, nothing is there...i am miffed and pissed at the same time therefore miff-pissed
I guess for the sake of narrowing down the issue, you could re-flash the original Kaiser ROM. The link is posted here somewhere.
I don't know what could be going on. I have the Tilt. I have flashed several ROMs (all based on ATT ROM though), and never had any issues.
Best of luck.
i know this sounds strange but did you flash another radio when you flashed the new ROM's?
Reason being, on my Hermes certain Radio's made my Exchange syncing go crazy. Flashing a different radio version solve my problem. Might be worth a try if you havent?
This may sound stupid, but have you verified the date on your phone? Maybe you are accidently 1 year early, so it is syncing your appts but you are looking for them a year from now or whatever. I did this once and it drove me crazy.
Thank you both for your comments/suggestions...the date is correct as I have verified it...as for the radio, I did NOT upgrade the radio from the original that came with the device...even on my hermes I never ever had this type of issue...guess I will try looking at a different radio and seeing if I should flash that..problem is that most people who have the HTC radio .11 say that there is no benefit to upgrading the radio at all. I am beyond miffed!!!
Just upgraded the radio to .17; deleted partnership on the PC and the Kaiser, soft reset device; added partnership back and sync'd...STILL NO CALENDAR!!!! UGGH!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

What operating system are you using? Vista WMDC v6.1 or MS Active Sync v4.5? If you're using Vista you may need to update WMDC to v6.1 and if WinXP you may need to update to Active Sync v4.5. If that is done, please delete and recreate your partnership again...sorry, then under File > Connections menu please select option that says "This computer is connected to" and choose [The Internet]. This is basically part of the process for "How to: Connect to Internet via 2 different proxy settings (1 for GPRS and 1 for Wifi/ActiveSync) and somehow it works for me...maybe as a fluke of luck... Establish a cable connection and sync...takes a bit of time...Please PM me for the documentation if you're interested.
I'm having a similar problem but email won't sync on mine where Calendar does.
I'm using a fresh O2 Stellar (no mods) & Vista WMDC 6.1.6965
Calendar syncs over the air without issue.
My previous O2 mini-s worked flawlessly as do others in my company.
No errors are reported by activesync and it thinks everything is wonderful.
Any tips? It's immensley annoying.
I am using Vista along with the most recent version of WMDC 6.1xxx; i have deleted and recreated the partnerships so many times...no matter what ROM i use it only syncs my contacts and emails...never the calendar..gonna try 1 more time now..I just don't understand this...even w/ my Hermes I never had this issue.
Stranger still...
In my case I can sync everything except appointments created on my device. They just never sync.
Same Problem with user in my company...
I am part of the IT group in my company and 1 of our users are experiencing the same issue.
Good News: Its not your phone. I've tested the users email on multiple phones and receives same result.
Ban News: Still haven't pin pointed the issue
Try running ScanPST.exe on your pc... Maybe something corrupt in your outlook calendar causing the problem.
Calendar appointments created on my device are the only things that won't sync for me. First noticed it when ActiveSync drained my battery in about an hour and a half from attempting and re-attempting to sync to exchange server. I have not installed any new programs, changed any configuration settings, or updated ROM recently to cause this.

Had this problem awhile ago, and switched ROMS and it went away. Back again. ran the scanpst on all psts and ost, deleted partnesrhips and no go. Really annoying.
See this thread as well. I started it awhile ago and it never had a firm resolution.

I have had the same problem on a few ROMs as well as the one I’m on now. One thing to note is I also noticed a contact added to the device would not sync as well. Anyway it's a bad work around but I found something and it will get ALL of your stuff to sync. I found it on another site's forums (sorry cvan remember which one) when I could not find anything about it here other than people mentioning they had the same problem but no solution.
1. Change your Time Zone to a NON-DST time zone (I’ve used GMT-4:30 Caracas) and save the setting.
2. Click ‘Yes” to saving changes to the clock setting.
3. Manually hit Sync in ActiveSync on your device and let it go over your cellular line (sorry haven’t tried it hooked a PC)
4. Once completed change back to your original Time Zone, sync again, and all should be well.
I have to do this EVERY time I add a new appointment to the device directly. I hope this help and I’m REALLY hoping one of you guys can figure this one out and come up with a fix.

Active Sync error code 8018001

well it seems that i have run into a HUGE problem. whenever i try to sync my ppc with my pc active sync says "Synchronization could not be completed. Try again later. Support Code:80180001"
when i try to sync it later, it still gets the same message. i've searched google and xda-devs, along with some other sites, but found no answer. if someone can help me i'd appreciate it very much.
try the following in the follow order, with a sync attempt in between each one
soft reset
uninstall/reinstall activesync
hard reset
thanks fzzyrn, the only thing that worked was the hard reset though, but thanks for the advice all the same.
Facing problem sync with my outlook..
Exchange ActiveSync has encountered an error. Support code:80180001

Error 80180001 Syncs Notes but nothing else
My BA (Qtek 9090) can connect via activesync but will only sync "Notes" and "Favorites" but nothing else.
I can also "Explore" the device when connected and transfer files without problems.
I tried changing all the obvious, tried soft reset, hard reset and reinstallation of OS (WM 6.5). Nothing helps.

Active Sync error code 8018001 FIX
I'm also getting the same error, I installed Swampy395 WIN Mobile Pro 6.5 Beta 1 and everything seems to work well, except for this issue. At ETEN a Vietnamese forum: QUOTE(stevenlamhkhk @ May 16 2008, 03:39 PM) New ROM FOR X500 V07 - PhamQuang
http://www.pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=25963 at this thread said they solved the issue by removing the ETEN GPRS wizard. Unfortunatly I don't know how to do that. Is there a Blue Angel cooking wizard that can do this for us? It seems to be happening to several of us. Thanks for any help on the issue.
Hi,
same error with Toshiba G810, WM6.5, AS4.5 & WXP SP3...
With an older 6.5 ROM, I hadn't problems at all.
Of course, I doesn't have any ETEN GPRS Wizard, only Autoconfig utility to configure GPRS.
Thanks!
FIXED
Not sure if this will work for others, maybe it will stop some people from hard resetting.
I was getting this error and had already tried
Soft Reset
Reinstall Active Sync
Hard Reset
However the problem was still there. So I started thinking about my machines changes, and the 1 thing that maybe important, is that I upgraded from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007. So the last thing I did to get my phone syncing again, was
Uninstalled Active Sync
Uninstalled Outlook 2007
Rebooted
Installed Outlook 2003
Rebooted
Installed Active Sync
Rebooted
Synced Phone, every thing worked perfectly.
Hope this helps someone. Added it here as its number 1 on google for 'activesync support code 800100'

Problems with Activesync!

Hi...to some of the more experienced hands out there. I have a problem with Microsoft Active sync 4.5.
I introduced new categories for my contacts in Outlook 2007. these copied fine, but what happens is...i get an error message saying synchronization cannot be completed. at this time, when i sync using the active sync application on my vox, it works and synchronises fine....all this after i disabled advanced network functionality.
the above process takes nearly 10mins! that too, after i manually press the sync button on my mobile! is there any way to solve this problem?
also, i wish to know if there is anyway one can add more fields to the phones contact book. i added and entered data in new fields in outlook 2007, but this wasnt transmitted to my mobile.......we have useless entries like pager, radio ( what the hell is that!! ) and so on, but not a single place where one can enter an extra mobile no. for instance!!!
can any one help? tried a lot of fora, but no one seems to have any proper solution for this one!
a new challenge for xda developers forum! thanx in advance, its maddening doing this sync manually every bloody time!
Try deleting the device from activesync while device is disconnected and then adding it again by reconnecting.
Tried but no result!
thank u but i tried all the obvious solutions.....else i wouldnt have started this post. all this works only with advanced network functionality off, mind u, and it takes ages!

Activesync issues... never had issues before! :(

Hello! I had sUC running on my fresh installed ROM, and now I'm facing never-seen-before issues. I mean, I cannot connect my PPC in activesync (the computer simply doesn't recognize the phone) while I can do that in USB Storage mode. Moreover, I can't open the Activesync program anymore on my PPC (it tries to open up but it immediately shuts down) and I can't even synch contacts, sms's and appointments via Microsoft MyPhone, as this is reporting an Exchange Server connection as active, though I never set it! Was it maybe some of sUC regentries? How can I undo that? I'm on a WM6.5 Italian ROM for Diamond, and I'd really like to have my contacts back!

sync problem with outlook

I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
