Sudden problem with ActiveSync

Suddenly I have a problem with activeSync. I cannot connect my phone to activesync of my desktop pc (vista-usb) or my laptop (winXP-bluetooth). My desktop pc show the message shown in attached image. At the same time ActiveSync in my mobile device show the message 'Waiting for network'.
I tried several things like closing the firewall, changing 'USB to PC' setting and restarting all machines.
It worked perfect before. Today I was playing with Visual Studio 2008 and remote debugging which worked in the beginning. I also installed MyMobile application (shows mobile device's screen on desktop).
Do you have any ideas?
edited: here is some additional problems! I cannot install any application (by launching a cab file directly in the device)! I get 'Installation of <appname> was unsuccessful'. Also the list of installed programs in settings>system>remove programs is empty!

I've had similiar problems in the past. I've been able to get back online by removing ActiveSync completely and then re-install.
I'd love to find easier solutions if anyone has suggestions.

You mean on host PC?
But the problem seems to be on device. I cannot make it connect to any of my two PCs. And it has other problems also.
And one of the two PCs is Vista. How can I re-install Mobile Device Center (activeSync equivalent)?

- reconnect your smartphone on windows ME

i did everything and used usb switch and the active sync is connecting but i think its the phone thats stopping it becose it come an erorr thats says need activesync 4.5 or higher

maybe i must change something in the registryedit

Windows Mobile Device Center woes

I recently flashed my ROM from WM5 to WM 6. Thank you XDA. The problem I am having is now my Vista Computer won't connect with my MDA. Before the Flash it snyc fine. I uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled it and nothing. WMDC is aweful, Active Sync is great. Help maybe it is some kind of trick to get Vista to recognize it again with the new flashed WM6.

make sure you are using Active Sync. ver 4.5.....?

with some roms you have to uncheck the box "USB-PC" Found in settings/system/or sometimes found in connections,"USB-PC" and uncheck Enable advanced Network functionality. Then try and Sync

I can't use Active Sync with Win Vista. Any other suggestions..?

Then restore Vista to when it was working.

I'm also having trouble with Vista Ultimate (x64 and x32) and my Wizard (Octavoi's ROM)
It sees my device for a few seconds and then it closes.. The WMDC doesn't see my device at all...
The Event Viewer shows the following:
Windows Mobile-based USB device is plugged in but is unable to make a network connection to the desktop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).

Does anybody know how to solve this?
I've tried to uncheck the 'Advanced Network Functionality', but that also doesn't seem to work.....

Firewall could be the culprit.
Check your settings in your firewall. If you have Windows OneCare that would also interupt your connection with WMDC. But with any firewall program make sure that it allows or is in the trusted mode for any Windows Mobile Device.

I have Windows Live One Care but I don't think that's the problem.
I turned it off and tried to connect... without succes
But I'll give it a try again this afternoon.

i'm the other way, i went from vista to xp at work because of stupid autocad 2008 problems (don't get me started) and i prefer wmdc over activesync.. i have ver 4.5 and i have issues like it sometimes will randomly disconnect or won't complete a sync. other times i have no issue though. I never had a problem on vista with wmdc.

when i first hooked up my pda in vista it would load the driver in vista but, wouldn't connect, turned out it was loading an older driver and i manually updated to the newest one and just like that it was connecting, later i downgraded the driver to be able to update the rom and it was still working.

Where did you get the newer drivers from?

Try this :
Go to device manager in Vista
While connecting your wizard the device manager should refresh and add a 'MS Windows Mobile Remote Adapter'
Now right-click that adapter and choose 'uninstall'.
Vista will add the device again and soon after WMDC should connect.
At least it worked for me...

I tried the same, but without luck.

Ok, I've flashed my phone and now it seems to work with Octaivoi 6.3!!

SYNC no longer recognized

Ok I am no newbie to this, but I am sick of the frustration that comes with this problem. I've had me TC for a couple months now and it will not be recognized with my PC. I've had this problem before.... deleting the partnership, changing the USB ports and settings, downloading the newest sync software, and shutting down the fire wall, yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is use Bluetooth, which is to slow to transfer files. I need some help here, because even backing up everything on the phone and doing a hard reset takes too long to restore what I have on it now.

try to unmark ->settings->connections->usbtoPC-> enhanced network functions.
sorry, i have a german one, so look for that function.

I have the same problem with my o2 xda orbit 2.
I found that if I turned off the bluetooth and wifi it connected ok but even that seems to have stopped working now.

I got it back
I shut off the windows firewall with Vista and it works every time now. This is odd since I always had it on before and never made a change to the settings. In fact once I had given permission for windows mobile center to run with the security I never had this problem before. All I can say is it is a serious pain to disable it every time I want to access my files on the phone.

the joys of activesync......
I'm running XP-Pro on both my home and desktop PC's
with my orbit 2 I have no problem connecting at home, but failed miserably at work (other than the first time after I'd installed activesync).
I'd concluded that it was my firewall settings (which are outside of my authority to alter) we're the cause of the problem and gave up.
What usually happens is an activesync connection is established (I alway click on cancel in the first box - because I don't want to sync files etc, just to be able to explore and install software), and then when I click on explore (after it says connected) it just hangs for a minutes or so, before disconnecting.
However, I hooked up my Orbit2 to my laptop in my hotel last night (to charge) and I noticed that I could explore. OK I thought, it was the firewall.
But then today I tried exactly the same thing, and we're back to the non communicating version.
Any ideas,
Any ways to force activesync into submission - even if just at the explore level?
Thanks

simple joys
Well Vista doesn't use active sync, but I'll try to give you what I have learned. First it always helps to have the latest version of the software. I'd delete active sync from the computer and end the partnership on the phone. The phone then says to hook it up with a computer to establish a connection. Before you do restart both. Download newest version from windowsmobile, install and restart again. Disable firewall and any antivirus ( it makes a difference ) and try to establish the new partnership. If that doesn't work sometimes the comm ports are wrong and you have to find out which your phone uses. Once I had a Moto Q9h unbranded that would not sync with USB no matter what I did from the start, but it would work with a bluetooth sync. That was the worst speed ever. Anyway Good Luck.

Thanks,
yes I am using the latest (for XP) active sync.
I also uninstalled it / re-installed it
I also deleted the profile
All to no avail
Virus / Firewall settings are locked on this laptop.

Same problem
I'm using vista, uninstalled and reinstalled the last version of ActiveSync, deleted the partnership and the phone does not not connect to the pc. I dunno what to do .
p.s. : firewall is off.

no sync with xp and vista
hi
I see that Im not alone...Isync my polaris with my personal pc (vista 32) and with my professional pc (xp pro).
my rom is Aserg (many rom tested before like Bepe....same PB)
its impossible to sync both pc. I have to erase partner ship each time I want to sync.
Im not sure, but I think that windows 61 is responsible. Is that possible ? thank you for helping me !

You said you updated active sync, but Vista doesn't use that program. You need to use Windows mobile device center. If you go to windowsmobile.com there is an update you can download that you install with the phone connected. That might work.

You have to delete every time, because once it is synced with one computer it establishes a relationship with that pc or laptop. The two operating systems use two different programs, but really the computers should have the partnership saved. I'm not sure if the phone can have two as well though.

ActiveSync via BT on Vista with 2125?

Has anyone been able to get ActiveSync to work over Bluetooth in Vista with a 2125? Which English ROM will I have the best of luck with as my USB Bluetooth on my desktop computer running vista ultimate x86 keeps telling me that my phone doesnt support activesync over bluetooth.
Also where can I get the Stock Cingular ROM for my 2125?
Can anyone point to to a guide on how to set it up?
any ideas?
many thanks,
SG

No one has because you dont need Active Sync in Vista, Vista comes preloaded with Windows Mobile Device Centre

Sorry I meant to say "Windows Mobile Device Centre"
I cant tell if it is becuase of my USB BT Dongle or my 2125. When I try to esablish a BT ActiveSync connection from my 2125 it says there is no partnership setup with a computer that supports activesync. yet I believe my BT Dongle does.
Any ideas?

Have you done a wired sync with that computer before? If not, you should do it. I've read that in the past. It fixed a sync problem with one of my phones, however, I've done it w/o too and it works. Have you created a BT Partnership between your computer and your phone? When you create the partnership, click on Advanced, re-confirm the PC name, then on the Services Window, checkmark Active sync. Then open active sync on phone, and click on right menu and chose Connect via BT. It should work. Good Luck!
EDIT: The partnership has to be created from the phone, not from the PC. If created from the PC, as far as my experience, it'll create a Modem Dialup connection partnership that will allow the PC to connect to the internet via BT using Wap connection on your phone. If you do want to create that too, use *99# as the dialup phone number. Leave blank the User name and PW.

Thanks for the reply.
When I try to setup a partnership from the phone I see my computer but I only see 3 service. Stereo somthing, handsfree, and something else but none of which are active sync. Yet when I look on my computer I see that activesync is in the list and selected.
I have a IOGear BT211 (Broadcom 2045) USB Dongle running in Vista Ultimate SP1.
Could it be my BT211 Driver? I have the latest version 5.1.x
Thanks,

Well the new phone I bought has all the drivers for Vista on CD. But its installed on my son's Laptop and he don't let daddy get nearby his toys LOL so, I really couldn't help more. I do know active sync works over BT with Vista. So I guess you'll have to keep trying. Do you have any instalation CD for your phone? From what I remember, if you don't have the "Outlook" that comes with the phone instalation, you might not be able to. I remember it didn't work untill we installed the one on the phone CD. All though, his Laptop had MS Office already installed. So... take a look around that.

My Bad. I had the wrong Window drivers installed for my BT on my desktop. LOL. Who would have though that the Windows XP drivers wouldnt work under Vista? lol
Thanks for the help.

activesync (Windows Mobile Device Center) via bluetooth on Vista
I went through a similarly difficult experience with a Lenovo laptop. I blogged about it here:
