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.
Hi Guys,
complete newby, know-nothing-boy here.
Got my xda orbit and just trying to get it all set up the way I want it to work. this is not easy given that I am a complete technophobe so everything's a massive learning curve.....
.....so, I got my orbit 2 connected to my works pc through Active sync and it talks to the calendar and everything appears to be fine and I've set up a bluetooth connection and can beam a file from my laptop to the phone. However, I cannot get my calendar/emails to up-date through bluetooth and neither me nor our IT guy can figure out why not!!!!
Can any guru on here help please.
Thanks,
David
Have you downloaded the new Mobile Device Center? Is your Laptop running XP or Vista? When I last sync'd with an XP machine via bluetooth, I could not sync contacts etc either, only worked with Vista for me.

Hi David,
1. You have to pair your Touch with XP
2. Create a incoming port.
3. select the incoming port in active sync for connection
4. start activesync on touch
if you need further info please use the search function.
Best Regards
Yoshi

David,
I feel for you sir.
I've been a PDA / Pocket PC user for a LONG time. I've used a Kyocera 6035 (Palm-based Cell/PDA), Sprint 6601, Sprint 6700, AT&T 8525, and even a BlackJack II. So I've used Windows XP with a Pocket PC LOTS of times, but *I* had trouble while in Chicago this week.
A co-worker lent me his Sony VGX-UX280 for that trip. It's a Ultra Portable "laptop" with Bluetooth, Wireless, and Windows XP loaded. Having setup my phone to "tether" (aka provided an Internet Connection) to my Dell Inspiron 9400, a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, and other laptops... I didn't have any concerns about using my phone for Internet on the road. Boy, was that a mistake.
So I'm on the road, and I try to use Internet Sharing on my cell to provide a connection the laptop. It seems to connect, and the laptop tries to pull an IP connection over bluetooth, but it NEVER got a private IP address... so it assigns itself a 169 address that as many know isn't a "connected" IP for most network situations. It's a fallback, when a network device can't find a DHCP server to provide an IP address. Instead, it assigns one to itself, but it's offline.
I confirm that the "sharing" is part of the problem by running Internet Explorer. When "sharing" is connected", I couldn't get to a web page on the phone. If I disconnect, everything works as it should. So I'm like WTF?
I came out to this site and others from my phone browser, and one post said I needed ActiveSync connected between the phone and laptop to tether. So I tried setting up ActiveSync over bluetooth, but try as I might if would NEVER connect.
I then downloaded WMWifi something or other. It basically turns your WM phone into a Wireless AP so laptops and other devices can connect to the Internet. But similar to the Bluetooth problem, I couldn't pull an IP. This was VERY odd, because the Wifi program let you configure which IP numbers you wanted to use. Several options were available, such as 192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, up to 192.168.3.x. And there was another range as well, but none of these worked. Not even when I set a static IP address in the proper range on the laptop, or turned off the IP setting in the Wifi program, as suggested in their documentation.
So while trying to "fix" things, I tried deleting my existing Activesync profile. BAD idea, as that deleted all my contacts and such from the phone. So then I'm in Chicago, 2000 miles from home, and the only phone numbers I have with NO names is what is in my call history.
At this point, I figure I have one of two problems.
1) The config to the AT&T network on my cell is wrong, which is why the connection isn't working as it had in the past. I do know that while the AT&T settings auto-configured by the Touch Cruise weren't perfect after the wizard ran. I went out to AT&T's web site, and customized my settings to match the Tilt recommended configure. I also configured a "standard" GPRS setting that DOES NOT use the AT&T Proxy Server. That's been the ONLY way I can use Skype .6, as it can't connect to their website through Media Net.
2) One of the many programs I've installed on my phone has fouled the registry/config of my phone. I made a list of all the apps I've installed on my phone, and I suppose any one of these could have screwed up my ability to tether...
Skyfire .6
Flash Player Active X
CoreCodec Coreplayer
HTC HTC Home - Schen 2.10
MS Remote Desktop
Bluefire
Total Commander
PM Registry Editor
iNav iGuidance
Franson GpsGate 2.0
Google Maps
With the above, I can navigate anywhere in the US, connect to my work network with VPN, control my computer there like I was in my chair, and much more. But obviously not being able to get to the Internet on the road is unacceptable.
Probably will hard reset the phone this morning, and take it from there.
Sorry if it seems like I took over your thread. But like you, I had NO luck connecting ActiveSync through Bluetooth.
(Quick note: Even when I borrowed a USB Cable on the road, and tried to tether my laptop to my phone for Internet... I STILL couldn't get IE to connect to websites via my phone. I COULD use Activesync, but by then I'd already lost my contacts, etc. So I'll get that back on the phone now that I'm home.)
I have one irritating oddity that I've experienced across several builds of windows mobile, 6.1 and 6.5. I sync my phone with work outlook via usb.
In work we have access to the internet via a proxy. My desktop runs XP and activesync 4.5, and I understand the desktop proxy settings should be passed over to windows mobile so any apps on the phone would be able to reach the internet.
The proxy address does get passed, but it appears in the "socks" entry, not the HTTP entry. I can fix this by opening activesync, click on...
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - automatic
then
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - work
then
file, connection settings, change "this computer is connected to" - automatic
then the proxy address will be in the "HTTP" and "socks" entries.
Does anyone know of any good fixes for this?
I suspect I will have to move to windows 7, but would be nice to get a quick fix, so I can just connect and go.
Computer OS: XP SP3
Device: HTC TP2
Device OS: WM 6.1
Activesync: 4.5
I have my device connecting and syncing fine to ActiveSync on the computer via Bluetooth, but I would like a quicker way to establish connection. When I get out of Bluetooth range and then re-enter there is no auto-reconnect, so I must go to Settings > Communications > Bluetooth, then under the computer's name click on ActiveSync every time. This gets the job done, but it's too much rigmarole every time I want to establish a connection and synchronization.
If I go to the computer and go into ActiveSync and try to connect under Connection Settings it doesn't see the device. Is there a quick, easy way to connect by creating a shortcut or otherwise not requiring so much interaction to get connected and synchronized? When I set-up ActiveSync through Bluetooth I rather expected it to connect and sync automatically when it got in range, but that would've been to easy I suppose.
Yes i'm wondering the same thing. Is there a reg key for editing this? I normally leave Bluetooth on and would like it to auto connect. My old K800 could do it so i don't see why WM6.5.3 can't.
Is this what you are after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530327
Yes thanks, that's all i'm after. I was having troubling searching for it.
Hey there,
i own a treo 500v with a cooked rom (my_rose 6.1[en]) running windows 6.1 standard. Im using a mac, thats why i have Syncmate running for sync options. Syncmate also supports internet sharing over USB to PC, means that i can use my mac internet connection for my treo 500, because i dont own a data plan.
Now the problem:
It is a pretty weird situation. The cooked rom contains the HTC HOME homescreen, containing a weather widget. As soon as im connecting to Syncmate over USB my weather widget is able to get the latest information from the web! This indicates, that there is clearly a working internet connection. Never the less, this is the only thing that works. I cant use Internet Explorer, nor the E-Mail Option of WinMo to receive my Mails. I also tried Opera Mini (Java), but it also fails to connect to the internet.
Im always referred to the Connections Settings of my mobile phone. To be honest, i have no clue how to properly set this up. So i wondered if here might be someone around who knows how it works right.
Thanks for all your help.
Cheers

Hi Chillar! There is no need to adjust any settings on you phone, it is enough to connect your mobile device with the Mac via USB and Internet will be shared automatically.
If this doesn't happen, then, please, try the following:
1. On your mobile device go to Start -> Settings -> "Connections" tab -> Connections and check which connections are listed in "My Internet" section. If there are any Internet connections via cellular network, please, disable or delete them.
2. As an option, please, try to reinstall SyncMate driver on your mobile device as follows:
- Go to Remove programs application
- Choose SyncMate driver and press Remove
- Reboot your mobile device
- Reconnect your phone to your Mac via USB
3. If the above still doesn't help, then please, try to open any web page on your mobile device - for instance google.com - and let us know (contacts us at [email protected]) what message you receive from the browser on your mobile device in return.
Have a perfect day!
