I have a ROM based on the 5.2.1933 base from it's right. It is working mostly OK, however when I have the Wizard 'docked' to my PC ActiveSync seems to be constantly synchronising - well not exactly constantly but more than I seem to remember it did with other ROMs I have installed or built. This wouldn't be a problem but when it is synchronising the Wizard is really sluggish, so much so that I sometimes can't answer calls due to it not reacting to the 'talk' button quick enough.
I sync with the default Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks & Favourites on my PC (standalone Outlook with just POP3/SMTP email) and also the Calendar, Tasks and Contacts with an Exchange 2007 Server on the Internet. It does seem to take a long time synchronising, especially the Outlook email from my PC. I have battery status installed and when it synchronises the CPU jumps up to 100% until it has finished. There then only seems a short period before it starts synchronising again.
I have now started to leave it disconnected from my PC when I am working at it in case a call comes in when it is synchronising.
Is this a common problem or could it be something I am doing or have configured wrong?

I have the same experience (Herald with Win 6.0)

I have ActiveSync 4.1 (latest build) installed with two Pocket PC's set up -
one WM3SE device and one WM5 device (Universal). The WM3SE device syncs fine with Calendar, but the WM5 device will not sync the Calendar (using Outlook with an Exchange setup). Note this is not network syncing but via Outlook, with a local USB sync.
All the other items sync (tasks, notes, etc) on the WM5 device, but Calendar just sits there indefinitely with a "processing" message and never syncs (or syncs so slowly that it takes a day+ to finish). No error messages, just "processing". It also does this via bluetooth, so its not a USB thing. I saw several others report this on other sites, but no one had an answer and one said that it is a "known issue" with no solution yet. Is this true? A PDA without a calendar sync is pretty limited IMO.
Any ideas? Thanks all..
Hi all, I have a sync problem here just wonder if anyone has the same problem. I installed Faria's WM6 some time back and it was fine syncing with XP. Recently I upgraded my XP to vista and installed mobile device synchronisation center and I tried to sync with outlook 2007.
The device seemed to be unable to sync as the sync center said syncing in progress for a long long time. I waited 1 hour once before I unplugged it. I found that by selecting only files and notes, I was able to sync in less than 5 minutes. However if I selected to sync contacts, tasks or calendars the device would be unable to sync. I created a new outlook data file which was empty and tried to sync again but unsuccessful. I hope not to have to do a hard reset to try to sync so if anyone got any ideas I would be happy to try them.
you could try syncing to MS Excgange server for now (port88.org) ... for calendr,try goosync
i dont require email sync and i dont really want to have to find individual solutions for calendar, contacts or tasks. any other suggestions to solve my syncing issue?
I bought a Samsung i640 (wm6) a couple of days ago, but I do not manage to get my contacts from my pc (Win XP, office 2007) to my phone. I am trying to sync by USB cable (comes with the phone) by Activesync 4.5.
I tried a lot of things, all of which did not help. I tried:
- the Activesync 4.5 from the phone package
- the Activesync 4.5 downloaded from Microsoft.com
- Activesync 4.2, not supported by the phone, as the phone says
- deleted the phone profile from Activesync and re-installed it several times
- deleted and re-installed Activesync serverel times
- used the replace phone items with pc items setting, and the combine items setting
- used several Activesync settings, and unchecked the advanced network functionality setting in the phone
- checked my firewall (Kaspersky) settings, disabled Kasperky
- ran the Activesync troubleshoot functionality, no problems found
- checked the .pst file, no problems found
When I added items to my agenda on the phone, they synced nicely to Outlook. Also, a test contact created on the phone appeared in Outlook, but a contact created in Outlook did not appear on the phone.
After trying to sync on a different pc (Win XP, Outlook 2003) the contacts, which I copied to a .pst file from Outlook 2007, nicely appeared in my phone. When I connected to my own pc at home, the contacts appeared as doubles in Outlook, taken from the phone. After deleting some double contacts, they got deleted from my phone as well, although there still was one entry in Outlook.
I decided to clean the profiles from Activesync from my phone, after which all my data on the phone were deleted as well. After syncing again, I noticed that my contacts did not return, as I expected. Also, I noticed some agenda items appeared in my agenda, but only the one which were placed into Outlook from my phone, and the ones created in Outlook did not move to my phone.
So, I think some sort of connection error is on my pc, in Outlook 2007, as all items from my phone get to my pc, but not the other way around. Also, I think my phone settings are corrected, as I managed to put my contacts via Activesync 4.5 on my phone on a different pc.
I hope someone can help me, as I have no clue how to solve did, and I did not find any information on the internet in different forums.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
my ActiveSync keeps running once in a while. I have not entirely narrowed it down to a specific time interval, but it seems to run itself whenever an internet connection is established. And if I am in a dodgy signal area (or in and out of signal) it runs a lot! It syncs to my Exchange Server, but I do not want it to sync as often as it does.
Here's the background to my problem.
Phone: Xperia X1i
How I've tried to fix this so far.
1.) I am using ActiveSync in order to synchronize contacts and calendar to my Gmail account, so I cannot enter a 'fake server' to stop ActiveSync from starting.
2.) I have searched the web and this forum to solve my problem. I have tried using the Task Manager and disabling the 'runafter...' repllog.exe in the notifications. This still happens. I have disabled all repllog.exe instances I have found, but it still runs!
The most annoying part about this is that it keeps syncing to my contacts and them 're-sorting' them to 'Last Name, First Name'. I then I have to keep constantly running the 'Contact Changer' app to rectify this. More annoyingly, it wastes resources, makes the phone slow and is unneccesary.
I just simply want to stop ActiveSync from running automatically and only when I ask it to. Is this REALLY that hard to ask for from WM 6.1?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi all,
It driving me insane that I can't work it out why Activesync is not syncing my phone.
Here is the situation. Got the phone from my brother. With him it synced fine, with USB cable, with Outlook 2003 and WM6.5.
I have the same setup but Outlook 2007.
What happens is that when it connects, it finds the device, I only set it to sync contact, tasks and calender of outlook. It then says "Looking for changes" and soon after it says "Synchronizing". But then it hangs.
I searched the forum and the internet. I tried reconfiguring, soft resets, installing CompanionLink (software that works through Activesync).
No joy!
I simply want to be able to keep my contacts, calender and tasks from outlook synced. Nothing more.
Any help!!?!
I had the same problem when i used Active Sync from XP, but i works when im using Win7.
Try deleting all the Active Sync settings and make the configuration from Win7. When i did that it worked when i connect to the PC with XP - strange but true...
Ok. But what do you mean with "make the setting for win7"?
Yay! Got it to work!
Funny that I had the feeling in the beginning that it might be the amount of to-be-synced items was going to be too big. And somewhere on the net I found someone with the same idea.
I disconnected the device (usb cable). I removed the device from the "file" dropdown menu. And reconnected the usb-cable. When prompted with the wizard, in the settings I deselected ALL the to be synced categories.
Then it found the device and it synced... nothing.
But it said it synced.
Then I opened the option menu in Activesync and added only the contacts. And hurray! It started syncing. Then I added the agenda and hurray again!
The only thing that happened is that I ended up with duplicate contacts and agenda items. But after an hour I had that fixed too.
Note: Although I don't think that it contributed to the solution, I did reinstall and soft-resetted the device before I did all this. Just to let you know...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this:
1. At setting | connections | Run the the 'USB to PC'
2. Uncheck "Enable faster data..."
3. Uncheck "Ask me first about USB...."
4. Soft reset phone & PC
5. sync again.
Note: This may enable activesync works but file transfer from PC to Phone/Storage will fall back. may need to swap the setting back.
HOPE it helps.
