I have an HP iPaq rx3715 (WM2003), which I used to sync with ActiveSync 3.8. Never any problems.
Nowadays I also have a MDA Vario (WM5), which can only be synced with ActiveSync 4.1, so I installed 4.1. Synching the Vario is no problem.
Now... The problem... I can no longer sync my iPaq.
The iPaq needs ActiveSync 3.8, the MDA Vario needs ActiveSync 4.1.
There is no way to have both versions installed on the same PC. I tried.
I even tried to install the different versions on seperate XP accounts. Didn't work either.
In theory I could install 3.8 on PC1, and install 4.1 on PC2.
The problem with that is that the PST-file is located on PC1, and not on PC2. For security-reasons it is not possible to run a copy of the PST on PC2. (Besides... It wouldn't not be a very handy workaround.)
Now... How can I sync the above two devices on the same PC, with the same PST-file?
Anyone???
AS 4.1 includes 3.8 in it.
When you sync 2003, all icons etc become old type - I do it everyday - sync my universal and sync my Benq p50
No issues.
Well.... My rx3715 won't sync on AS4... But AS4 is needed for the MDA Vario... :|
Anyone else any ideas?
Why do the iPAQ need AS 3.8? Alls WM2003 Devices are working with AS 4 too.
Hello Sjaakman!
Unfortunately, i don't know an alternative way to sync a PPC with a PC, but I can tell you that I've successfully synchronized a rx3715 with a PC running XP SP2 and AS 4.1 many times, infect I even managed to sync a Dell with WM 2002 with the same PC no problem.
I suggest you make sure you have the latest version of AS and that the installation is clean. It is possible that while trying to install the previous version you somehow damaged the current installation which is why it wont sync.
Good luck!
I tried and I tried and I tried.... And I could never get it to work...
I just now tried a clean install of AS... And what do you know... It works :shock: :roll:
Thanks.

Not sure how you got it to work.
I was never able to get my iPAQ h6315 to sync with AS 4.1. After struggling with it a while, I noticed that in fact, Microsoft states the following on the AS 4.1 download page:
- ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
- For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices, please continue using ActiveSync 3.8.
For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices please continue using ActiveSync 3.8

I just wanted to add that I believe this statement means you don't need to upgrade unless you have a WM5 device.
If any one is interested I can tell you from experience that I've successfully synchronized devices with OSs WM2002, WM2003 / SE (including iPaq 6315), WM5 and CE 4.2 (not PPC) with a clean install of AS 4.1 and no tweaking done. So far it appears to be completely backward compatible.
Just for the record: I am not trying to defend MS. But if you have a similar problem to the one mentioned in this thread, you should check the AS installation before breaking your head trying to find another solution. The problem could also be on the device side, and may be solved by hard reset (not pleasant but effective).
I have been living with Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 since June. This is an "evoluting version" that is upgraded/improved/corrected from time to time. All in all I should not have done that and stay with XP Pro but I was not sure how to unistall it. However, the Windows Mobile Sync function works well with my HTC prophet (Qtek S200) which is equipped with ROM 2.15.23.27 WME, 3/9/06, Radio version 02.19.21, Protocol version 4.1.13.09, ExtROM version 2.15.13.121. Last week, after a little research, I decide to upgrade with RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101 though I was not that sure that it was really an upgrade (I was looking for the Push-Email feature). In any event, the upgrade program did not work. I am stuck. It stopped regularly with a code error [202]: Th update utility (V2.5.2) could not connect to the PDA Phone. All comments are welcome
I can only speak for the Blue Angel on this - but I couldn't upgrade it using Vista because Activesync is used for the connection. However, in Vista, Activesync has been replaced and it cannot be installed on Vista. In the end, I got out a spare HDD, dropped it into my pc, installed XP FLP and upgraded using that instead.
RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) is now out to certain testers and I can confirm that Mobile Center is no longer present/doesn't work properly. This is also true of 5536 and 5552. The PDA will show up in Computer and you can browse it - but there was no utility to sync. Activesync can again, not be installed either.
Windows Mobile Device Center
With respect to the Sync function, I recall that the "Windows Mobile Device Center" that has replaced in Windows Vista the ActiveSync 4.1 of the past did not work until I triggered the firewall options. After it worked well though the Notes included in the Contacts (MC Outlook) are not synchronised correctly. Hence, my surprise for the impossibility to upgrade s explained above.
i just picked up an old pda for cheap but it runs windows mobile 2002. I know some of you guys have had windows mobile for years so what are some good programs / games that run on windows mobile 2002 and 32mb of ram?
why dont you try simple games like solitaire and bubble breaker
they will work i think....not so sure
most programs run even on pocketpc2000
it's binary code for the arm cpu
most apps don't use special wm5, wm6 features

well most of the programs that i have tried dont work. i am thinking that they are dependent on some dll files that are included in windows mobile 5+
but most of the programs that i have tried dont work. such as kevtris 2 pocket lemmings pocket quake vista hide battery gage vexed. when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation
Some of the above programs are written in CF .NET, in which case you will need the matching version of the CF .NET framework installed on your machine. Programs that were written in Win32 Embedded C++ and compiled for an ARMv4 target should run fine.

hmm keep talking, so i need .net cf for windows mobile 2002? right?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/...11-194b-4c00-b445-f92bec03032f&displaylang=en
is this the right one?
thanks
The version of the .NET CF runtime has to match that of the compiled program. To find out which version, you can use something like RedGate's .NET Reflector to open the executable.
In the mscorlib section, the version will be given as 2.0.0.0 or similar, in this case Version 2.0 of the .NET CF.
It will need the version 2.0 of the .NET CF Runtime. They can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
Other version of the .NET CF exist, i.e 3.0 and 3.5, it depends on which version of VS it was developed, and how it was configured to create the .EXE

TY for that info. at the compact frameworks all inclusive? can i just install 3.5 and call it good? or do i have to install each one? can i have more than one framework installed at the same time?
thanks for your help
"when i try to open them most of them say x is not a valid pocket pc applacation"
getting wm6.1 would most likely not help you there
as that error msg is the std error msg one gets when one
try to run a pc activesync installer app directly on the pda
you have to run them on the pc with the pda connected to activesync
i had both lemmings and quake1-2 running on pocketpc2003 without any problems
installs directly on pocketpc are never! exe's or msi's always cab's
all other installs are don on pc

not trying to be rude but I know how to use the installers. i am talking about windows mobile 2002 not 2003.
Bit late to update this post, but here goes.
The .NET Compact Frameworks are 'supposed' to be backwardly compatable i.e version 1 and 2 .NET exes should run under .NET 3.0 and later if their own framework is not installed on the device.
In practice there are a lot of ifs and buts. Run it, and see if it works. If not you will need the matching framework installing. It is almost impossible to predict what will and will not work.

Hello!
I want to try to write my own today screen using
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx
I see there:
"To use the ".NETCF Today Screen Plug-in Host", you must download and install the sample" but it`s not said from where I should download it.
Can somone say to me what should I install or download to have this sample ?
May be you provide me with a link if it`s possible.
Thank you.

click on sample to download, but its for VS 2003, if you found for 2005 or 2008 please let me know. [email protected]
most today items for 2003 works just fine with wm6 and up have you verified that it don't work with later versions ?
i am talking about the sample plug in for Vs 2003 mentioned on msdn link (above), i tried to install it, but it wont appear in my Vs 2008 New project dialog box, hope u got it right.
I am somewhat behind the times with my hardware, but it works for me. I have an HP Hx2490b, flashed to some (possibly cooked) version of WM6.1 (I really don't recall the details). I run and love CryptoCard, an old but very convenient password tool. The developer, a chap named PMMAX, used to be very supportive but has fallen off the radar.
My problem is I've noticed an anomaly in how CryptoCard works. I know it USED to work right, but I have no idea how long it has been this way (the problem is that it should "lock" after a time-out or after a power off/on cycle. It doesn't. I have to manually kill the application (easy enough with WisBar, but not the right answer)).
I'm trying to figure out why it no longer works. I have NET CF 1.0 SP3 and 2.0 SP2 installed. The software states it requires .NET CF 1.0 SP2. While SP3 should work fine, I want to rule out any problems with changes between SP2 and SP3. I have scoured the 'net, and all links to CF 1.0 SP2 point to Microsoft, who only has SP3 available.
Does anyone still have a copy of the install for .NET CF 1.0 SP2 hanging around?
Thanks,
Harry
