I had upgraded, reinstalled everything, all the hacks, even got the hidelogo.cab hack working. Bought a few 4GB MicroSD cards with MiniSD adapters and even THEY'RE all working.
I thought I'd died and gone to power users' heaven until I tried to install certificates. I'd imported them, and they installed just fine, they're visible when I go to the personal tab in the certificates applet. But the option in the mail settings to sign and encrypt my messages is greyed out, even though the certificates are installed.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I've searched and searched and all I've come up with are the procedures that I've already followed.
This is the last thing I really need to get working. I'm using Exchange 2007 through 4smartphone if that will help me get to the bottom of this.
As always, dear friends, any help/input is greatly appreciated!

ok so I have a cingular 8125 which i CID unlocked and SIM unlocked. I have the T-mobil 2.26 as a ROM base and was running black dimond 1.0 touch ROM with no syncing prolbems. This past weekend my phone froze and i wasnt able to reset it, so i re flashed my base rom. I then tried to Flash the new dimond 2.0 touch rom and it flashed fine, but when i went to sync it up all it did was say it was syncing. I let it run over night and it was in the same state (saying it was syncing) that i left it in. I tried flashing another custom rom but ended up with the same result. I tried deleting active sync 4.5 and re-installing, and even tried a beta version of 4.5 but nothing has worked. PLease any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advanced.
could be outlook...outlook sometimes acts finicky...
recommendation would be to save your pim information...it's usually in some sort of personal folder, and then reinstall outlook. Move your pim information back and resync.
I had this same problem, but i fixed it.
I had this same problem using Diamond 1.1, so i thought it was the rom, but....Then, I used Octavoi, and I had the same problem, so i figured it was Windows Vista's Device Center (replaces ActiveSync), but... Then I found out that it stilled synced fine on my XP laptop (ActivSync 4.5), so.... i woke up one night and suddenly decided to remove my USB hub that my phone was connected through, and then I directly connected my phone to my computer (which actually gives it a direct undivided power source, it seems). After this, it synced in 4 minutes, and i finally got all my contacts back. Could this possibly be your case as well? That's all i can offer.
nope im this isnt my prolbem. and i cant find that folder that you were talking about on out look either. i tried flashing a bunch of diff roms but all it does is say its syncing and then my comp sends nothing? any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Use PIMBackup, it saves and restores that information and more (which you can choose from)... i think it's free, it came with my ROM (Octavaoi 4.5), so u might search for it.
i would uninstall some stuff with your phone unplugged and reboot it then reconnect it and make sure that the usb cord or jack is working
Betcha I had it worse...
I'm a total newb to this stuff. I'm totally blown away by the level you folks are discussing thing at.
I just replaced my Audiovox 6600 with a Cingular 8125 w/WM6. I had to upgrade to Activesync 4.5 and it was going exactly what you describe.
I SPENT OVER 8 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH THE MICROSOFT "HELP" if you can call it that.
The rapimgr.exe file was getting caught in a loop and hogging all the CPU. The answer was in:
Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC -->: Uncheck the "Enable advanced network funcionality" box
BTW - after the marathon "help" session, I was the one that figured it out.

Ok...props to you. First post and it's to help someone else with a well described solution. I hope this solves the person's problem and I'll have to remember to suggest this to folks having activesync issues... so much for "advanced network functionality" huh?
thanks alot... tried to fix this for 2 days. big props to you..
This is my first Treo 750, but not my first time flashing a ROM. Whenever I've run into problems with settings, I've always found Cingular/AT&T setting CABs readily available here that worked. I've tried every settings CAB I could find, but I still can't get to Media Net for my email and PIE. I even went to the AT&T support web site, did everything they said to do, but NOTHING!
The official AT&T WM6 update went fine today... even did a hard reset before trying set-up... just can't get onto Media Net, set up email like I've always done before.
Sure would appreciate any help, a CAB that is known to work on the Treo 750 with WM6. Thanks!!!!!!!
For no apparent reason, Activesync (4.5 5096) of Outlook on my TC (standard ROM see below) has stopped working. Outlook email/contacts/diary not getting synced.
After plugging USB in a message says 'Sync cannot be connected succesfully...try again... and run troubleshooting..'. But Activesync/Help/Troubleshooting/Reporting says there is nothing wrong! Indeed, I can still explore TC and card, sync other software (e.g. Media Player, TomTom Home, eWallet etc).
But I can't get in to the ActiveSync/Options menu to check out the relationship. Have soft reset TC, turned off PC firewalls etc, but nothing helps. Little puzzled because it all worked fine for the past 2 months and I wasn't even playing around when it decided not to work!
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
CI
Touch Cruise
ROM vers: 1.25.405.1 WWE

Radion vers: 1.58.21.23
Protocol vers: 25.65.30.04H
had the same problem some time ago. changed the cable and everything was fine.you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling activesync.
Jackster
Thanks. Cable was OK, but uninstall/reinstall of activesync worked. indeed speeded up activesync and fixed a lot of other minor secondary problems while it was at it would recommend it for all every now and then. strikes me that activesync is one of the those bolt-on bits of MS obeseware that needs regular maintenance?
USB Device not recognized
To mark the anniversary of me posting my original message, all of a suddden and for no apparent reason, Activesync has stopped working again. Bizarre
This time its a little different, I don't get anything except a pop message on PC saying 'USB device not recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance click on this message'. Which of course I di and it didn't help!
So, I've tried
- un-installing/re-installing Activesync 4.5
- rebooting PC and TC umpteen times
- changed USB port/cable
- tick/untick Settings/Connections/USB-to-PC/Enable Advanced network functionality
- putting the kettle on
Nothing is working (Although the cup of tea was nice
Would really appreciate some help please
Thanks

Help! Really desperate on this one. I have been trying to think why this should suddenly happen. Two things possible:
- During my last succesful sync I received and answered a call. Would this damage registers or something?
- I accidently pulled the mini-USB headphone cable a bit while listening toi music. But the sound is still perfectly OK, and I receive power charge via USB even though it won't connect/sync. And like I said, I've swapped cables/ports.
I've Googled this a lot and most people fix by fiddling with stuff I have already done and praying!
Please. Anyone got any ideas before I too start praying!
Thanks
1. No, it should not. Never heard it did.
2. AFAIK, not reason as long as it charges trough USB port.
Try to delete device from Active Sync while device is not connected. You might need to restart PC.
You'll have to set options again when device is recognised.
This is what I have to do often.
Also, check device name on device itself, it tends to change from time to time for no apparent reason (at least to me). If it changes, it causes following problems to me:
1. Active Sync troubles
2. BT connection to car audio stops working.
Hope some of this will help...
BTW... you have WM 6.0 on it? If so, don't upgrade to WM 6.1... IMHO, WM 6.0 is faster than 6.1 and has less problems with Active Sync...
Bodisson,
Thanks for suggestions. Alas, none work
It looks like I am going to have to hard reset and/or burn new ROM. For those of us who don't do this regularly, this can be a nerve racking experience. However, I was perhaps sweating too much about it for a couple of reasons:
- it seems very few people have anything good to say about WM6.1. Until now I have been pretty happy with WM6.0 and have had 14 months of virtually trouble-free use, so maybe I'll just stick with that. I'm not a power-user, so the vast array of cooked ROMs is rather bewildering. Unless one is rock solid and aimed at non-power end-users?
- I thought installing a new ROM without Activesync was impossible, but I see someone has worked a way to do it via the SDHC card. Well done XDA
So, unless anyone has some further ideas I will just hard reset to WM6.0 and hope for the best. I have this terrible feeling though that my mini-USB port is damaged and I'll get the same bubble of doom even after hard reset.
Thanks
Either do a hard reset back to factory (and hope you can re sync all your stuff with the PC),
OR
Re flash the rom to C Shekar's "b" rom. It really is very good, and transforms the phone. In fact, it is so good that I have finally stopped fiddling with my phone! (and I'm a born fiddler!)
It is very good, and works immediately, but you might need to spend time tweaking it - the must is to install the correct radio.
I've done quite a lot of rom upgrading, so am quite comfortable now with the process. If you want to do it and need a hand, let me know.
Have you tried to verify your firewall? Last time I had some Sync problems was just after updating my firewall that changed settings to default, blocking the Polaris-PC communication.
Have tried disabling all firewalls with no luck.
I've hit a brick wall on this one, but am fearful it will be hard to get device back to working order again if I do hard-reset and still can't sync
Suggestions very welcome
Thanks

OK, I feel for you on this one!
If you don't want to flash to a new rom (or, re flash to your old one), there is a solution but it involves removing and renaming your Outlook.pst file ... the procedure (which is on this site somewhere) seemed fraught with danger, to me, so i preferred to re flash when i had a similar problem.
Before re flashing, if you decide to, you backup your data using PIMBackup - only your contacts and maybe phone call list, not anything specific to the phone's operating system or software.
Re flash, then restore the data.
Then, Active Sync will see the phone as a completely new system.
I just bought an AT&T Fuze today. I'm ready to take it back to the AT&T store, throw it at them, and buy a Tilt. I've used an 8525 for the last two years, and it works well. However, the Fuze looked like a great improvement. . .until I tried to sync. Here's my system:
XP Professional
Fuze
Lotus Notes email client
Small consulting shop: two workstations, one server
I'm just trying to get AS 4.5 working so I can load some third-party software (Commontime's mNotes5), sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, etc., and be done. The first time I tethered the Fuze to my workstation, ActiveSync kicked right up and ran Connecting for > 30 minutes before I gave up, turned it off, downloaded ActiveSync again from the Macroshaft website, and reinstalled it (because I thought the version I had might be out of date - it wasn't - it was EXACTLY the same Build [5096] as what I had before).
Well now, my workstation thinks the Fuze is a USB Storage Device, responds accordingly, and NEVER launches ActiveSync. When I launch it, it just sits there showing Not Connected.
Folks, I'm no technogenius. I'm just a self-employed financial guy trying to get a piece of new equipment to work. I have no idea why this thing isn't working, but I'm about at my wits' end.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Again, I'm no tech guy, so please assume I know nothing (you'd be right) and try to lead me accordingly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Go to Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC.
What's selected there? If you want the option between ActiveSync and Mass Storage every time you connect, check the box on the bottom. Otherwise, make sure ActiveSync is selected. Also, try turning off Advanced Network Functionality if you are having problems with it turned on.
I'm assuming the Fuze is set up the same way in this area as the Sprint Touch Pro, I apologize if it isn't. When I had my Mogul, it would never connect through ActiveSync for me if I had the advanced network functionality turned on.
Banzaiwolfe, all I can say is thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, a million times over. You're an absolute genius. I did exactly as you suggested, and my Fuze is now synching my Notes emails, Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. I can't thank you enough. But I will definitely make a donation to this Forum immediately, and if there's a place where I can mention you, you can be sure that I will.
I'm so grateful. So grateful. Thanks a million.

I recently bought 2 HTC Pure. I installed RemoteTracker on both phones and didn't have any issues. I tried to test the program on both of them and it wouldn't work. Both phones would show the command as a regular SMS. I tried it on both phones, so I don't think it's a phone issue. I already did a soft reset and it still doesn't work. I would like to know if anybody knows how to fix this issue before trying a hard reset.
I previously had a LG Incite with windows mobile 6.1 then upgraded to 6.5 and never had this problem.
I thought the problem was TouchFlo, but after disabling it, RemoteTracker still doesn't work.
I already checked all the registry entries listed on their website and everything seems to be in order.
Any help will be appreciated it.
Thank you.
