Through observation and constant trial and error, I found out that pc windows firewall should be turned off or at least uncheck the don't allow exemption option because this has something to do with the connection from pc and ppc via active sync.
Hope this helps you.
" uncheck the don't allow exemption option"
that should always be the case for people who dont like to
mess with their firewall setting every time they get a program which
try to do any kind of network action

Just bought it off ebay. now i plug to laptop it just charges , active sync wont find it. I tried ver 4.2 and 4.5 and 2 different laptops (the phone only charges). Now the phone is network locked and has no sim it in it, it should still active sync right? (the os fully boots without it). Please someone gimmie some insight so I know if i have to return the phone
Yes it still should sync without a SIM..maybe you are having a problem with ActiveSync..try to use USBSwitch/USBKiller, install then switch to Serial..
Or try to check if USB is allowed to connect to ActiveSync on its options
ActiveSync - File - Connection Settings
alright ill give it a shot when I get home and then report back.
This phone cost me around 130$ and UPS charged me 57$ on delivery!!!!!
I guess when ordering ebay never choose UPS shipping and always mark as gift right..., best to go with private sales and ask them to mark as gift .The phone also came back full of scratches and dings!!! (not as listed). I really hope this usb killer app will work (still uses usb cable right?) or else ill be out money
Also try temporarily shutting off firewall/antivirus applications, Norton in particular takes a lot of adjustment to allow activesync to work.

Why the $57? Customs? Where did it come from; where was it going to?
Problem to Active Sync SDA
Turn Off the Windows Firewall and try again for me this working fine
Thanks dm251z
i had the same problem, replacing the usb cable worked! try a new usb cable!
Well, first thing I would try is another USB Cable. Second, if you have a modern laptop with BlueTooth, try active sync via blue tooth. If that works, you know its not an Active Sync problem and its a hardware problem. Either cable or phone's usb.

A couple of questions:
What ROM are you using?
What version of Windows is your main computer running?
Has ANYTHING changed between it working and it not? (Automatic updates, new software installed, installed drivers for a new USB device, etc)
Does the PDA recognise that it is charging/has external power?
Can you borrow a different cable\somebody else's computer to test it on?
Just as a test, try going into your settings, in the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try ticking\unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
If the cable is broken, best thing to do is to buy a new one - its probably not worth the money to repair it (try looking on EBay - any mini-usb cable SHOULD suit the Universal)
(ps. are you sure you should be posting in here? I think you probably should have put it into the main section for Universals)
hi TehPenguin
thx for your reply
as i said before i am a total newbie and so dont know were to check wot ROM i am using.from where can i check.the fone come with WM6 installed(it does not have video calling however)
i am runnig windows xp sp2 on my pc.
when i plug in wall charger ,pda recognizes it
no mew software were installed from the time it was working(after that i installed a couple of spb programmes via bluetooth)
i tried my cable on my fiends foned and it worked,i tried my fone with my friends cable and it didnt work,that is why i am thinking it is something to do with my mini usb connector.
can some admin move this post to appropriate section or do i repost there again?
tnx again

Okay, Windows XP is a good start - and its nice to see that you did some test to figure out where exactly the bug is
I find it unusual that your phone came with WM6 already on it - unless it was second hand... You can check your windows version by going into the settings, under the "System" tab and opening "About", at the top of this it should have "Windows Mobile(R) 6 Professional" or something like that
Here are some more things to try:
Have the phone off and disconnected, then plug in the cable (this seems to work for me if I have problems)
Go into your settings, under the connection tab and go into "USB to PC". Try unticking the checkbox labeled "Enable advanced network functionality"
I think that the second one is most likely the way to fix it. Also what version of ActiveSync are you running (At the top of ActiveSync there is a "Help" menu, select the "About Microsoft ActiveSync" - this should give you version info). If the activesync is anything less than version 4.5 - look for an update on Microsoft's website
And one last thing - no offence, but - one thing I don't like is people using "IM spk" for forums. I understand if you aren't fluent in English but please try...
Enjoy!
TehPenguin
thanks again for your help.
first I would like to say that i do not know what you mean by IM spk ?sorry if I broke any rules
the phone is not new,i bought it off e-bay
I am running activesync 4.5 on my pc which if i am not mistaken is the latest version available.
I will check about what version i have later,as I dont have phone with me currently,but what I can say is the version i have does not support video calling,and it does not have the Phone pad facility in the entering text options.
No harm done with the "IM spk" (its just one of the things I don't like - I'm sure you read my post on the Ultimate ROM)
Did you try any of my other suggestions?
Also, you may wish to upgrade your Universal to a new ROM (I believe that Ivan is uploading one as I type) or go to an official WM5 ROM from a manufacturer - it is possible that the ROM you are using is defective...
just to let you know
problem fixed.it was a hardware problem after all,took it to a local technician who fixed it up for me
all back to normal now
thanks for your help m8

That's for a Wallaby. The Uni has a USB socket soldered straight to it's mobo. It depends if the damage has ripped any tracks from the mobo. It may be a straight solder replacement, or you may need to follow the tracks slightly to solder further along them. I'm sure a competent solderer would be able to help if you showed them it. Or upload a picture of the damage and we can all have a look
Hello,
I was wondering if any one out there could help with this problem, i had a quick search on google and on this forum but to no avail albeit I'm not very good at searching.
When I'm at work (like now) I always have my HTC TYTN checking for new e-mails every 10mins or so... it's very important for me. I always bring my USB charger because this tends to drain the battery a lot.
The problem is when I connect with active sync my phone will not connect my tmobile internet thus it stops receiving emails and won't connect to the internet, only when i unplug my device from the PC it will, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this same problem?? I've played around with a few settings but nothing seems to be working.
Any help will be much appreciated
Goto file/Connection Settings/ click on "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to desktop"/ Click "OK"
For good measures if you are connected, unplug your ppc, close Active Sync, plug back in.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion...
I tried the following but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem
Fresh Start
You may also try deleating your device from Active Sync and then re-establiahing the connection with the above settings. Soft reset your divice at the same time.
Ahh no luck I'm afraid...
I've tried playing around with it afterwards but still to no avail, maybe it just doesn't like my work PC...
It can connect to the mobile internet, however it doesn't want to use that internet to cehck for email even after i set my e-mail to specifically only check for e-mail from my mobile connection, as soon as i unplug the USB cable i can connect no problems...
Thank you for your suggestions.
Hey guys,
Right quick story of whats going on, basically i got my XDA stellar hock up via bluetooth to my laptop at work using active syn, and is set to com port 8. the reason i do bluetooth is casue our work server wont allow usb connection, dont ask why, but bluetooth works fine.
so just yesterday my fone broke and currently taken it to get repaired, now i have got my old XDA orbit which i used before, and i need to transfer all my contacts i saved in outlook on to me old XDA orbit, so i paired the laptop and the fone, but active syn didnt work said i need to pair, so i tried to set the fone to have an outgoing port to the acer (laptop), but i have only got options for com6 & com7. i need to add com8 on my fone so i can active syn with the laptop, any ideas how i can add a com8 to my XDA orbit??
I hope this makes sense
Kind regards
shane
I am looking for a tweak\tool\registry hack (if possible) to have a Charge Only Mode for Windows Mobile 6.5 if at all it is possible. Most of the times, I am at office using my HD2 (Dual boot with 6.5 and DarkStone Android ) connected to the Laptop and it would be great if I can just connect it to my laptop without choosing either of the three options
1. ActiveSync
2. USB Storage Mode
3. Internet Sharing
P.S : I did lot of search for this option but was unable to find it and hence started this thread...but I will be more than happy if anyone can redirect me to an existing thread if any, for the same issue.
When your phone is charging off the laptop do you actually use any apps on it?
I'm like you in that I spend 2 days a week with my phone charging from the laptop, but I never use it for anything other than phone calls, so selecting disk drive does the job for me.
Any apps I'd need, I'd make sure were installed on the device.

Better use the active sync or the mass storage mode..As it is you wont be needing to install apps on your memory card thanks to the massive storage of the HD2 compared to the older WM devices...This shouldn't be a problem IMHO...
Cheers.
Ive got a really easy fix for this, just use a different cable, you can get cables or adaptors that will charge only and wont sync. When you want to sync just change the cable or take off the adaptor.
btw... such an adaptor is only £2.50 from amazon for my phone

This doesn't stop the action as such, but when you connect your phone to PC, with the 3 options you listed, there should be a a check box at the bottom "Don't ask me again", so whatever you choose will automatically happen next time (choosing USB storage will therefore not ativate ActiveSync/Device Centre on your PC. This can also be found under Settings->Other (miscellaneous settings)->USB to PC (see attachment).
Or, just use a wall socket charger?
Hi,
Thanks for your replies ! The reason I asked this question is because I do not have a Data Plan on Phone. I only use Wifi at home and office and Active Sync kills it. Data storage mode won't let me use the Storage which I kinda need (Don't ask me why? ) and ofcourse Internet sharing Mode just sends the phone into a crazy 'Connecting 3G Network'...loop.
Anyways, I think using the Charge Only Cable should do the trick for now..But I still feel that this mode will be helpful for few rares like me...Love tis mode in Android.

ActiveSync does not kill my Wifi - make sure the 'Allow wireless connections on device...' is checked under File->Connections Settings. Also ActiveSync should allow your phone to use your PC's internet connection (pass through) anyway.
The other thing to try is to delete the mobile device from within ActiveSsync as if you've never synced it before and when you next connect it it will ask you to set up a relationship but click cancel and - viola - should now just charge.

No "Allow Wireless Connection on Device" option. I am using Windows 7.. Not sure if it is present in WMDC.
ActiveSync Passthrough does not work..I am on a encrypted network with authentication based Proxies..whole bunch of them.....
I do not want to kill the ActiveSync relationship since it syncs everything with my PC.
I think I am bothering a lot over this stupid requirement.. so I will just close this thread (If I can) but if I find anything I will post it here, for someone else who might be in similar situation.
Thanks anyways...XDA rocks !!!
