Active Sync hanging problem - General Topics

Active Sync 4 refuses to sync with my XDA Mini - it just hangs and does nothing, until I switch off the firewall I have on my PC 0 I know this is a known problem, but have Microsoft released a patch fix for this annoying problem?
Thanks in advance.

have you tried to add activesync to exception in windows firewall ?
doubt ms will make a patch for activesync which alter their default firewall pc settings

yes i have.. but not much luck.
I might try changing firewall software.

Activesync 4.1 and offline files

Hi there,
Just got a new qtek8310 with Windows mobile5 and activesync version 4.1.0 build 4841. Using it with a computer connected to a windows domain network.
The computer have enabled offline files, (can view/edit files in offline mode etc) This is build function in windows xp.
However when I sync the mobile device sometimes it drops the connection to the network and puts me in offline mode with the network, I need to resync offlinefiles to re-establish the network. This happens randomly, often when I connected the device. I think has something to do with the new network adapter it creates everytime you connect the device to sync (breakes the currently connections?).
The sync with contacts etc from outlook works 100%
I followed instructions ActiveSync 4.0 USB Connection Troubleshooting Guide
at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
Still same problems, It has same effect with or without firewall enabled (xpsp2)
anyone same problem / clues ?
thanks.
Any solution to this? I'm still going through the search results but my customer w/ the save AS version has the same problem with 2 diff phones on 2 diff workstations.

Windows Mobile Device Center Problems

Is anyone else having problems lately? It used to work fine with my Treo 750 or with my Tilt, until a week ago. It will longer start up when the device is connected or by going tp start>programs>WMDC. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled about8 times with no luck. Firewall is off so its not that
That usually happens if you happened to sync with another computer on any of the available connection methods. I recommend you delete the connection profile in WMDC after disconnecting your device, followed by deleting the sync profile from the Sync Manager in Windows Vista (if there is one), then deleting your connection profile on ActiveSynce on your Treo, then restart BOTH your computer and your Treo, and then reconnect and rebuild the sync profile as your Treo or Windows says it should be done... this applies to all Windows Mobile devices...
WMDC sure is finicky little piece of..... nevermind... :-D
I hope it works for you!
I would retart it, but I cant get WMDC or Sync to open on my PC. I think Im just gonna try to upgrade my PC to Ultimate and see it that does it. otherwise Its gonna be dual booting with XP
open up windows firewall and add an exception for wmdc.exe (or the specific ports if you do a google search for wmdc ports).
Worked fine for me after that.
Anyone here tired of that installed FBI agent Windows Vista comes with? lol
I myself cannot, and have not ever been able to sync my tytn II to my vista.
I can get the computer to recognize the connection, but cannot get wmdc to.

I have the same problem... how do you solved it?
Thanks
solution
"know24"
To pull this off you will need a second account on your Vista machine.
Click start and >> switch user. Login to your alternate windows profile.
Run WMDC. You will notice that it works on this profile. Once it finds your device, log off switch back to your main profile.
In my case this allowed WMDC to continue recognising my device and synchronisation worked fine.
i found this after more than a day on forums!
that worked only one time so the new one found: on the forums..
It requires to edit (or create) a DWORD registry key called “AllowLSP” on the desktop, in the following registry path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
The possible decimal values are:
0: Bypass LSPs for incoming and outgoing connections.
1: Bypass LSPs for incoming connection and use LSPs for outgoing connection.
2: Use LSPs for incoming and bypass LPSs outgoing connections.
3: Use LSPs for incoming and outgoing connections.

Exchange ActiveSync over wlan before trying data connection

My phone is an Xperia X1 and I have Exchange ActiveSync setup. I can get the syncronization over wlan both in my office and over other wlans. I would like to know if there's any way to "force" the ActiveSync to happen over wlan before trying the data connection. This way when I'm covered by a wlan that I'm connected to, the sync would be cheaper
Basicly I'm after some process that when i want to synchronize it checks the wlan first and only then connects to the celular porovider. Does it make any sense? All this because I miss the autosync that my old Nokia made everytime it was in reach with my PC. What I'm trying to achive is the best workaround for this missing feature in Windows Mobile. Or is there a new option that I don't know ?
Thanks for any support

Hi there,
If your data is not connected, it will obviosuly try to sync via wifi first right? In theroy if both are connected wifi should be prefered afaik.
There is a good guide for getting ur device to auto connect to ur PC via bluetooth to auto sync via active sync, (see the guides section in my sig below, guide by my good friend Nir36)
Cheers.

That damn Remote Desktop Mobile simply doesnt work!

I dont get it. Why it is not working for me on any computer, with windows xp, windows 7 and windows server 2008?
I tried it on several wifi-networks, I get an IP and everything like surfing on the web or contacting the router etc works.
But if I try to connect via Remote Desktop Mobile, it stucks on "Connecting.."
What I tried:
- connect from other desktop-computers via remote desktop - works.
- add a new user with password because someone told me that is relevant - dont work
- connect via IP or Hostname, with Username and password and without - dont work
- Tried several versions of RDM on my hd2 - none works.
Does anyone has a hint for me what I could try else to get this crap working? Yes of course I could make a VNC - Server and connect via a viewer like dotnet-vnc-viewer (actually I tried that and it works, so why not via remote-desktop-mobile?)
Personally, I can connect with the IP address and nothing else (I actually use a dynamic DNS service, but that just resolves a name to an IP, so it's the same thing). If I do it like that then I get my normal windows login prompt and can enter a username and password.
What actually happens if you do that?
I assume you have been able to connect in the past with other winmo devices. Did you enable remote access on the host machine. Right click My Computer--Remote Access Tab. Win7 can be funny. You may have to disable enhanced security. I've had no problems connecting, but I only connect on my home wifi.
In order for remote desktop to work you MUST have a password in your account !
In addition to requiring a password, the WinMo RDP client does not support Network Level Authentication for RDP connections. You need to disable that on the host.
i seriously doubt you will be able to connect with the mobile version of RDP to either a Windows 7 or a Server 2008 Machine. The most likely case will be that you can not connect because Win7/2008 thinks you are on a unsafe OS -.-
You get the same problem when trying to connect to a windows 7 remote desktop from XP as well. Nothing new at all

I can connect fine to Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2008, Windows XP SP1, SP3 (didn't test SP2), Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Its not everything, but mostly everything. I tested this with the stock ROM and EnergyROM.

I agree. You are warned that it is "potentially unsafe to connect". However, you can simply click something like "Connect anyway" and check off "Do not warn on future connections to this computer". Problem solved.
And to be clear, this is NT 6.x RDP Client to NT 5.x Host.
NT 6.x ~ Vista/7 & Server varients, NT 5.x (XP, etc).
This may not be the problem or any help to you as there are probably other more technical reasons why its not working for you.
I also struggled for a long time to get working but it never did but as I didn't really need it I never tried too hard. Until one day I Installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Then it just worked as it should.
So I assumed you had to have the Ultimate Version of Windows for it to work. I may be wrong though.

Try to disable the phone, set it in flight mode, and just use wi-fi... btw have you enabled your server as an "terminal server"? i noticed that i just can connect to "terminal servers" never could connect to a work station, just a server.....
Strangely enough I just set this up yesterday, and it worked fine connecting to a Windows 7 box.
I just edited the port used (on PC I wanted to control) and forwarded the port through my router...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
I then allowed blank passwords in Local Policies...
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Local Security Policy -> Local Policies\Secuirty Policies\Accounts: Limit local use of blank passwords (Disable)
It connected fine over the network and over the internet (using dynadns org account). It was impractical to use though because of the resolution and my fat sausage fingers, but still pretty cool.

Ok guys, thanks for your help so far.
Okay, I will try to clarify my situation:
I already tried to connect with Flight-Mode, only wifi working. I CAN ping my HD2 and can ping the host I want to connect to.
My Account on the host HAS got a password set.
I already TRIED to put in only the IP (dont work) or either the IP, USER (dont work) OR IP, USER and PASSWORD. (dont work).
It's not a OS-Problem as far as I see, because from my WINXP Laptop I CAN connect to a WIN 7 PRO box AND a Windows Server 2008, so the Computers are configured correctly I suppose. On Windows 7, I also checked "Allow connections from any hosts running any version of Remote Desktop Mobile" (lowest security).
What the hell is wrong.. I flashed another ROM on my hd2 because I thougt maybe its ROM-related.. but that didnt help =/
to bad :-((
Thats to bad... i have a win2003 (rc2) at home, enabled Terminal server and open for rdp in my firewall/router and flashed miri v09 yesterday, opened rdp on my hd2 from work just now and connected trough gprs without doing any changes to my hd2... but like i sayed i have just been able to connect to servers..
mideel, check your messages
Thanks for your effort so far, no solution is avaiable for me yet.
I tried the hints of waxfresh which he sent me over PM (Portforwarding, set a Password, disable Firewall / Antivirus (I dont use any)..)
damn..like I said before.. a VNC connection worked without problems and configuration of ports or anything at LAN, so why doesnt it just work with Remote Desktop..

nice to read that I'm not the only one with this problem
Maybe together we can find out whats wrong with us or our versions of remote desktop mobile.
I'm currently on 2.10 german custom ROM if that matters, but the problem exists for a long time now, used 2.02 before.
task 29
Have u all done the MTTY( task 29) before you flashed a new rom?
Nope i didnt.. but could THIS be the problem? I flashed only 4 times since I got my HD2. Dont know how often I should do this task29

[Q] WM5 UNITECH PA500 watchguard mobile vpn issue??

Hi didn't know where this question would fit in i hope someone finds it. (noob to xda-developers )
the problem:
when the wm5 pda has no watchguard vpn client installed all networking works fine and system doesn't crash.
with vpn client installed
1. wifi comes up with "dhcp server could not be contaced. using cached lease information"
2. usb connection to activesync fails to connect doesnt even pick it up or make any sounds on device or pc.
3. system randomly crashes with device.exe crashed send error report bla bla.
4. bluetooth seems to funtion ok still
symtoms go away once vpn client uninstalled
i need some help on configuring the software before installing on device basically but i cant see where i'm going wrong, i'm guessing its a firewall issue in this software as its the networking connections that are having problems, before crash occurs randomly. link to software for reference.
cant post link but google ncp vpn windows mobile trial
Note. the standard windows mobile vpn connection works fine however theres to many clicks and the connection is to easy to delete as "delete" is right next to "connect" when you go through manage connections.
if there was a one click way to start the vpn connection like or script or something i could then assign that to a shortcut button.
Background info:
I have a unitech PA500 PDA with laser scanner bluetooth and wifi, reps of the company need to send orders collected back to base easily,
Using xp sp3 pc with activesync 4.5 and usb data cable or bluetooth connection.
the watchguard client installer for wm devices, has firewall profile settings and this is set to off other choices are: off with rules to deny or: on with rules to allow.
i have a watchguard edge x750e firebox firewall at base and have all the relevent software to install the watchguard windows mobile ipsec vpn client Built on (NCP Secure Entry Windows Mobile Client) compatible with wm5/wm6
link to trial software of ncp version if anyone wishes to see the configuration options available to me.
cant post link but google ncp vpn windows mobile trial
i have setup the profiles for connection using the wizard on the main watchguard edge firebox, configuration user password etc. all tested ok as it has worked on these devices using the bluetooth connected to mobilephone 3g internet. but as described above all other connectivity has problems
i have 3 scanners one of which has been reflashed with the lastest wm5 rom
(this one seems to be more prone to crashing than the others)
available on the unitech website the other tested as they are original rom i don't know how to check if the one on the website is newer than the preinstalled version.
i have the the PDA's preconfigured to use Blackberry 3G network via bluetooth as the internet connection
i have a watchguard edge x750e firebox firewall at base and have all the relevent software to install the watchguard windows mobile ipsec vpn client Built on (NCP Secure Entry Windows Mobile Client) compatible with wm5/wm6
Using xp sp3 pc with activesync 4.5 and usb data cable or bluetooth connection.
the watchguard vpn client is very simple when it doesnt crash the device
any help would be greatly appreciated.
