ActiveSync is getting me angry.. - General Topics

Everytime I hooked my kaiser into my laptop, ActiveSync starts up, even though I have unchecked "open activesync when my device connects"
Then, every few minutes, it just starts syncing things when it doesnt need to. I wouldnt care, but fors ome reason it's really slow and chokes my kaiser while I am working on it
Am I missing some secret settings somewhere that make everythign MANUAL. MANUAL ActiveSync starting, and MANUAL syncing.

you can uncheck connect using usb that will disable the auto connect other than that you can configure it to sync just whatever you need (i.e like just favorites or just task ect. )and not everything..hope that help

On your PPC, go to the program list, tap ActiveSync, tap menu at the bottom, follow screenshots below in order.

I will give that a try, thank you

Hmm actually im not using an exchange server, just syncing to my laptop. there is nos erver to configure,i can add one, but i dont know if i need to do taht.
I remember awhile ago I use to be able to hook up my pda to my laptop and activesync would not start unless i opened it, and ifi wanted to sync any files/outlook data/whatever i set it up so it would do it when there were changes, not just every few minutes.
I'm upgradign to Vista next week so hopefully the built in mobile device thing will be better then this.

under connectionsettings you can choose.
"Open AS when device is connected" or you disable it.
I guess that should do the trick.
Maybe it only synchrosises then in background. don´t remember anymore. and for the moment i cannot try.
hope that helps

yeah i have that option disabled so dont know why it keeps opening. ah well.

If you followed my screenshot, you'll see the word "fake" as the server name, domain, and password. Uncheck all the data... tasks, email, etc.

hehe i did notice it. but im not sure why activesync is looking for exchange server stuf when i have nothing set up for it. seems a lttle odd i should set up something for it to additionally check. though i suppose id its going to check no matter what this might help . havnt had a chance to try it yet.

Well, none of the "proposed" solutions (fake Exchange Server, registry tweak etc.) worked for me... So, I figured this should do it: just create 2 shortcuts on your desktop -- one for killing the ActiveSync process and the other for starting it back again
Of course, what's most important for me is that while the AS process is dead these are still working:
- data connection over the USB
- power connection over the USB
Here's what your shortcuts should have...
1. for killing it:
Code:
Target:
C:\Windows\System32\taskkill.exe /IM wmdc.exe /T /F
Start in:
C:\Windows\system32
2. for starting it
Code:
Target:
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile\wmdc.exe
Start in:
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile
Of course, what I must mention is that this is only configured for (and tested on) Vista (edit: pre-SP1!) and Kaiser.

Thank you my man! Looks good.
I just upgraded to Vista and it hasnt been to bad lately, at least i havnt noticed it yet.
But, it is still connecting when i tell it not to, so i will try this out.

A slight change for the above shortcuts is needed after the Service Pack 1 (for Vista) has been applied:

Activesync problem

Lately, when I connect my Asus P525 to my PC or my laptop to Activesync, the following error message always come out:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."
I have tried to reconnect and soft reset my device and still the error comes out. I have also deleted all partnerships in both the PCs and my device and still same error.
Can anyone help my out on this?
i have the same problem with my tmobile mda. started with activesync 4.1 and even the new 4.5. only way i found to solve this is to completely unistall AS then go the AS directory and delete all the trash left behind in the install (do not delete any app folders in there).
reboot
reinstall AS
reboot
plug in device. yay!
stops working again....rinse and repeat.
yea. its a lame workaround but there you have it.
Thanks wergeld, I will try your suggestion ASAP!
I tried the above steps to no avail. Did it twice.
try doing a soft reset if you can of the asus then retry. all i know is that activesync is touchy. if you are using a usb connection make sure it is not going through a hub. just straight out the usb port on computer to usb in on the device.
this is something i have run across a lot. even on un-modded rom phones. right now mine is giving up the ghost while installing the "updated usb drivers" sucky. but its one of those things where you just bang on it till it works.
Ok, will try again. Thanks.
Tried to soft reset the device, uninstalled AS, deleted files in AS folder, reboot, installed AS, reboot, synch, same problem.
hrmm. i am sorry. i am at a loss for this one. i know AS is tricky but i have no other ideas on this. anyone else want to take a shot?
I would like to try to hard reset my device, but since I can't use AS, how can I restore my appointments and contacts after a hard reset?
assuming you had a relationship on your computer before you can re-sync it if you can get AS to work. do not try the hard reset yet.
did some more looking. and found this site: AS 4 FAQ
a helpful one was the fixmapi.exe step.
try all of these first then hard reset as a last resort.
the more i deal with AS the more i look at my SuSE machine with love.
"synchronization could not be completed. Try again later"; "Ondersteuningscode: 8007
OK This is a pain. i've got simmilar problems.
Over the weekend i upgraded to faria wm6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762) which forced my to go to active sync 4.5.
Here the fun starts .....
I have a desktop Medion and a laptop Dell D800. The Desktop is connected to my router via cable and the Laptop via wireless.
On both PC's internet works without problems. Before upgrading i could connect via usb to both machines and sync to my office exchange server.
Now, Activesync over usb connecting to either PC fails with the message:
"synchronization could not be completed. Try again later"
"Ondersteuningscode: 80072f7d"
If however i disable all "exchange synchronisation" items as agenda, tasks etc and limit to say favorites. Then AS completes sussesfully.
To add to the confusion. If i sync using WiFi or GPRS via my QTec directly i can sync just fine to exchange. Pushmail works.
I just cant get it to work via usb which i prefer since WiFi drains the battery and GPRS is expensive.
Solutions tried include:
* Uninstalling AS (both dutch and or Englich)
* Deleting all leftovers files from in the
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync" directory
* Cleaning the registry for leftovers
* Re-installing AS4.5 (both dutch and or Englich)
* removing and restoring sync partnerships
* Running the AS diagnostics (which report NO errors).
* emptying the exchange server files.
cleaning agenda, tasks, adresses, trash,
to have a empty exchange server
(of course i made a backup so i could restore afterwards)
I've googled but found nothing that helps.
I'm at a halt here, anybody any suggestions
You didn't mention what Operating System you're running on your computer and whether you're running any firewall software on your computer.
The newer versions of ActiveSync actually establish a network connection to sync. Quite a few of the Firewall programs have issues with this since it creates ports they don't know what to do with. You can avoid firewall problems by adding ActiveSync to the "allowed" programs list. Doing so will enable ActiveSync to create the ports it needs to sync, etc.
What you may be able to do in order to test whether it's your firewall is disable your firewall temporarily and then connect your device to the USB cable and see whether it syncs properly.
If you're running Windows XP SP2, the Windows Firewall is enabled by default and can be disabled by going to Start -> Control Panel -> Security Center and then clicking on the option to "Manage security settings for: Windows Firewall".
I hope this helps.
i am not familiar with exchange server or pushmail so i cannot help there. make sure you reboot each time you uninstall AS.
as for the firewall deal. i do not run one (oh nos!) on my pc that i connect to with AS since i am behind a heavy duty one on my router and i still have connection issues that force me to do the uninstall/reinstall dance. but i have never not been able to solve the issue with the dance.

THANKS this is getting ME somewhere i run NOD32 as antivirus on my desktop. If i turn of the IMON (internet monitoring) then sync goes fine.
Since active sync was already registred for maximum compatibility (which did not help) i added the address of my exchange server to the "maximal compatibility" list of servers. This does not help me either. Also disabling all "http protection" does not help.
Off to see what i can do without turning IMON totally off.

The site doesn't have the remedy for the error that I have.
I also disabled my Firewall, and still got the same error message.
Now, I would really like to do a hard reset, but don't know how to backup my contacts and appointments.
Got the same problem today. Last successful sync was on March 27th. I deleted all partnerships, repaired my Outlook-db, cleaned all ActiveSync-entries regarding partnerships in the registry of my Universal AND on my PC. I now disabled NOD32's IMON to see whether AS works again after a reboot.
Damn ActiveSync...
Cheers,
-mARKUS
UPDATE: Disabling IMON didn't bring me any further. ActiveSync get's the Universal's name, then comes the "Retrieving settings..." and suddenly it breaks with the stupid "Synchronization cannot be completed successfully..." message.

So as far as I've read I now have two options: hard-reset my device, reinstall everything and hope it works again -- OR -- uninstall Outlook + AS and reinstall and hope it works. Thank you, Microsoft!
good
Excellent work. Easy to understand.
hard rest...before doing anything..sync.......all will sync fine.
As long as device names are the same......you'll be good to go.
The problem is, I have added a lot of new contact and appointments in my device that is not yet synched with my PC. If I hard reset, all the new data will be gone.
So how can I restore back the new data after a hard reset?
Help! .

Startup folder Contents - need explanation please

Hey Mates,
I was looking through my \windows\startup folder and I noticed a few .lnk files, some of which I didn't know what they were for. If I can determine that they aren't neccessary maybe removing them could speed things up a little. Here are the links I have so far:
AEBPlus.lnk - this is a great button mapping prog
PKG.lnk -???
poutlook.lnk - Pocket Outlook, I'm guessing it needs to be there
sddeaemon.lnk -???
spbmobileshell.lnk - SPB mobile shell obviously
I was also wondering if I removed poutlook will activesysnc stop running on it's own. I tried the sched trick to keep it from running all the time but that doesn't seem to work. I shut it down and then it keeps showing up in the task manager. Thanks in advance to any help, Cheers!

That link is for WM Standard, not really applicable in this situation.
The Sddaemon is most likely the drivers to recognize your sd card.
As for Activesync you can try the following:
If you go into settings/System/Memeory and check what programs are running your more then likely will see active sync. This is due to the following fact: ActiveSync on Pocket PC side with its default settings does following - Pocket PC ActiveSync activates itself every five or ten minutes and tries to sync with the desktop.
So if you dont want your battery to be drain again, you need to prevent the ActiveSync from waking up the device every five minutes. To do this read the lines below and follow the instructions:
1. Start ActiveSync on your Pocket PC.
2. Tap "Menu", then "Add Server Source"
3. Configure a server source with a fake IP address, id and password - you can enter anything you like, it doesn't matter
4. After that you will notice that "Menu -> Schedule..." item is no longer greyed out.
5. Change your schedule to manual under both fields.
6. You can now delete your fake server - your changes to the schedule will remain in effect. ActiveSync will no longer be able to drain your battery.
Also make sure your error reporting is turned off.

Thanks JN,
I tried the fake server method but activesync still seems to start up on its own. Does windows live or gmail need to call it up when they sync? it seems the polaris is the first device I've had that persistently keeps activesync running even when i shut it down.
btw, my sd card was still functional even when i removed sddaemon.lnk from the startup folder and did a soft reset??? weird. We still don't know what PKG.lnk is either.
@gatordent,
My mistake, the Sddaemon is the Cyberon voice speed dial that comes with most HTC devices.
As for AS, I don't use W.Live and do you have google mail set for auto mail retrieval? Maybe when the device goes to get the mail at your specific time, AS launches itself?
JNGold,
Alright, here is what I've done, I removed sddaemon.lnk AND PKG.lnk from startup and left the others. So far, so good... seems to have saved about 3% of memory upon soft resetting. I left outlook.lnk b/c messaging broke when i tried to startup without it. AS still starts on it's own immediately after a soft reset. The TC is definitely a little peppier.

Thought I'd try this but how do I 'delete' the fake server. There's no such option that I can see. Am I just being thick?

My findings on disabling automatic activesync in WM6

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forums, but after running into you guys every time I try and google something related to my Treo 750, I wanted to share my two cents.
I've been looking for a way to stop the "automatic activesync" thing that everyone seems to be complaining about. I have a new Treo 750 running WM6out of the box. Everything I've seen has not worked, short of totally killing activesync entirely.
Now, I can't guarantee that it works, or that it's safe and has no other side effects! Use your own judgement, I'm by no means a Treo or WM6 expert.
------
1) Install RegEdit on the Treo
I found the tool on another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273693
You put it on the treo itself, and run from the treo too.
You can't use Mobile Registry Editor for this. You get "Access Denied" errors on the key. You have to run this prog directly from the Treo.
2) Edit registry entry on treo:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{guid}\Settings\SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled
The original value is 5 (5 minutes? Like how often ActiveSync seems to run? hmmm!). If you change it to 0, it will revert back to 5. Instead, change it to something like 300.
Then SOFT RESET THE TREO! Changes don't take effect until you restart windows, remember the old days?
3) Edit this registry entry on your COMPUTER:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\#####\Services\Synchronization\Continuously Update
Set it to 0. This is the fix that didn't work anymore, I dunno if it has anything to do with anything but I set it and it didn't destroy anything
So, now what will happen is you'll plug in your Treo. It will sync ONCE. Then it should shut up and not sync anymore until you click the Sync button. I think the "automatic syncing" was the activesync on the TREO's doing, not the activesync in windows. It's that WM6 registry entry that controls how often it goes. I presume now, the Treo WILL sync five hours from now since I set my setting to 300, but I'm sure you can set it to 999 or something and get a sufficiently long time that it really doesn't matter.
As we speak, my Treo has been plugged into the USB charger for a good 15 minutes while I wrote this post, and it hasn't woken up or done anything!
-----------
Here's one other thing. If you go into the registry on your COMPUTER:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\#####\Services\Synchronization\Enable Sync
And set that to 0, when you plug in the Treo it will pop up an error saying that it couldn't sync the device and see the windows troubleshooter for more info. Then it signs you on as a "guest" on the Treo. I imagine you could make a REG file or something that turns this on or off.
---------
Oh, an update, it appears when I go into the sync options in ActiveSync on the computer and enable syncing "Media", e.g. windows media player library... it syncs continuously all the time forever. The "Media" part of the sync progress seems to behave differently on its own.
I guess syncing media is different? I dunno. Try it with it turned off.
Thanks a lot.
Can we have at least one week. So 300 = 5 hours. 24 hours = 1,440 while one week is 10,080. Is this gonna work or not ?
Have you tried setting up an exchange server account?
What I have done was to go into...
Programs>Active Sync>Menu>Configure Server.
At which point it will ask you for Server Info...\Type in...
"fake" then next
User Name & Password can also be "fake">next
then uncheck all the boxes.
Once you do this the "Schedule" & "Options" menus should be available.
Click on Schedule & change the settings to "Manually"
& check off "Use above settings when roaming"
This will have your treo only open active sync when starting EVDO, Soft Resetting, Connecting to your computer directly or when you start Active Sync ONLY.
Try it & let me know...

Hi all,
I've triend the above-mentioned fake server trick and it did not work for me (HTC Touch Cruise 2009 running Windows Mobile 6.1). ActiveSync kept coming on after a soft restart (the 'reboot, if you will) - it was driving me crazy. (In all honesty, it should be mentioned that I do not think AS chews up much battery power, memory and/or processor clock cycles, but I just absolutely, positively hate it when programs start themselves up on my (P)PC. I like to be in control!
As mentioned, I've triend the fake server trick to no avail, and I've tried disabling the notification in the notification queue as well - no permanent result, since the entries there seem to be regenerated by some other application. I ended up with several duplicate entries (which were easily removed, but nonetheless, this doesn't seem to be the best way of going about).
Anyway, it seems I've finally found a synthesis of all kinds of help available here on XDADEV (I've been lurking in here for a while) that actually seems to kill off ActiveSync's automatic starting. I am posting this from work in the hospital, so it's a quickie, but bear with me and I'll give proper credit when I can finally attribute at (while at home).
Usual disclaimer: registry editing is bliss, but when you ***** up, it may be that you have to do a hard reset and several hours of work
All revolves around the entry in the registry at:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/ActiveSync
which has an entry called "KeepAlive" (which is valued 1 for 'yes'). Now, if I change this to 0 (for 'no'), ActiveSync doesn't start itself any longer. However, this registry entry resets itself again upon starting ActiveSync(sigh). So, I made a reg file that writes the 'correct' value for KeepAlive and pu a link to it in the /Windows/Startup folder on my device. The reg file is very simple, it only contains:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"KeepAlive"="0"
which makes it perfect for me: less risks for typos and stuff
You can put the reg file in the /Windows/Startup folder (or 'Opstarten' as it called on my device since I have a Dutch ROM) or put it in the Programs folder and drop a link to it in /Windows/Startup. That way, it runs every time you boot and in my case, this seems to hold off AS for a while. As said before, the registry key resets itself upon starting AS. I'll research a bit more and the above works in combination with the reg file, and that should put AS out of business. (Maybe the above works even on its own?)
Have fun, take care.

Can you tell me what program to make the REG file? because I tried Notes but it make the *.PWI format?
TIA
The ultimate solution.
Ok here's what you do. The fake exchange server solution never worked for me.
First of all you need FdcSoft's Task Manager program. It is the best and a must have.
Use the Notifications editor to disable the repllog.exe for RunAfterTimeChange.
Use the registry editor to go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync] Change the KeepAlive value to 0. Tap and hold "KeepAlive" (or go to file menu) and select "Export...". (not Export All) Save this .reg file in the \\Windows\StartUp folder or save it somewhere else and copy it there.
Now you will need Ghisler's Total Commander.
Using Total Commander, browse to \\Windows\Startup folder or wherever you saved .reg file. (Windows mobile doesn't automaticaly know that .reg file should be opened with TaskMgr so you have to associate it.)
Tap and hold your .reg file and select Properties. Select "Associate" tab. Tap gray box that says "Associate..."
In "Command:" box browse to the folder where TaskMgr.exe is. (\Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe)
In "Parameter:" box leave the "%1" there, and type "/silent" right after. ("%1/silent") This will keep a dialog box from poping up on start up.
"Ok" everything and you're done! Enjoy.

Can i Kill actsync (automaticaly) in my PPC??

Yes, i know i can do it manually clossing app (QuikMenu, synckill, etc.). Also i´ve tried in Notifications inTaskMgr excluding: replog.exe -->AppRunAfterTimeChange .. without success. Actsync for some strange reason always start up in a few minutes. Really is ennoying. I need KILL actsync when i don´t need it !
Please, any way to kill actsync?
I have WWE 6.1 in a Mio A701 (20931 M2D cooked)
THANKS A LOT

You could use mortscript never tried it, but in the manuals there is a "kill" function to close a application
9.21.6 End a running process (Kill)
Kill( process name )
Terminates the application. The parameter must be either the name of the exe without path (e.g.
solitare.exe) or include the entire path. Like with ProcExists, you should prefer the version without
path. See 9.21.2 Checking existence of a process (ProcExists) for more details.
WARNING: This command kills the process regardless of any losses!
It could cause data loss, crashes, or error messages.
Wherever possible, you should use Close instead, which allows the application to end gracefully
(save/close files, etc.).
from: http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/mortscript/MortScript-Manual.pdf
You could also try quickmenu (it's somewhere around these forums), it has an option to automatically close activesync.
Thanxx..
I know that these options let to kill activesync, but manually, by press soft or hardware button. Now i have assigned a buttont to Close-all-app in QuickMenu and other hardbuton to execute SyncKill app that does te same, but only for this process. My "dream" is to see closed actsync automaticaly after disconnection on pc and don´t see again process active (i suffer also to see screen turn on every time actsync enable it without motive). When i plug device to pc must connect again, of course.
I´ll try again option in QuickMenu called "Close Actsync when disconnect Pc". I think i tried it but didn´t work me. Maybe works me now in my actual ROM.

try async killer here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2136914
Yes. I know.. In first post i´ve said that KillSync (async killer app) let me do the same action than QuickMenu (close all app). It´s a manual action by hardware button. I wish to do automaticaly but i don´t find solution.
Option in QuickMenu called "Close Actsync when disconnect Pc" don´t work too. After some minutes, f**** actsync proccess appear again, grrrrr...
Thanks for your atention!
Fk
There's a solution in KhanX's Touch Navia 1.5 ROM thread in the polaris section.
it's in the FAQ if I'm not mistaken.
I´ve searched in post u say and it´s the same async killer app that i said in first post. This app kill proccess when you execute it but in a few minutes, actsync appear active again. I must to press Asynkiller again (or close all app in QuickMenu). Uhmm, mb a morscript that execute asynkiler every...10 minutes?
Thanks friend!
no no.. there's a registry solution there.
Yeah, just found it..

Second option (replloc.exe notification i have dissabled it some time ago without success). First option in regitry is a new solution but don´t work. Actsync appear again, again, again, grrrr. I will cut my veins with a comb..
Thanks again. I´m sure finally i´ll find solution in this forum. It´s the best!!

Activesync periodically starts itself and hogs your PocketPC's precious resources. To prevent this from happening you can do this trick.
--
1. Open Activesync
2. Menu > Add Server Source
3. Add Server address [one letter will do] > Next
4. Fill in the fields [again one letter will do] > Next
5. Un-check everything [optional] > Next
6. Really Close Activesync [optional but recommended]
7. Open Activesync again
8. Menu > Schedule
9. Choose Manually for both
10. Close Activesync
--
Activesync should start when you connect your device to a Computer but will not start periodically and use resources.

Hope this helps... ^_^
WOW... I try this trick inmediately...
Yeah! Finaly, it seems this trick works ok !!
Thanks a lot
Frank
Thank you sakshamkatyal.
I have this issue with every ROM.
I have a Μιο Α701 like mainsail, so if this a solution for him,
it's for me too.
do us all a favor and don't cut your veins with a comb.
tho... it would make a good laugh cause on your headstone we could write:
"XDA-Member - died due to ActiveSync problems"
That´s an old joke from south of Spain (traslated to english), haha..
You have saved my live !!!!
This is a cool trick. I wanna do this but I'm wondering if I need activesync running in the background for push email to work? I'm using Mail2Web.
Thanks.

MobSync auto-load / unload problem with Windows 7 UAC permissions

Not sure if this is also a Vista issue as I've skipped straight from XP to Windows 7. I use DooSoft's MobSync program to synchronise my PC's podcast downloaded folder with the one on my HTC Kaiser's storage card. The sync itself is working fine, but when I either connect or disconnect the Kaiser from the USB port, and MobSync is set to automatically launch as soon as the device connects, Windows UAC steps in and prompts:
"Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?"
This happens every time I either connect or disconnect the HTC and it is getting very annoying to have to open the UAC screen and click to allow every time. Any thoughts on how to stop this and give the program the correct permissions to auto-load? (I've already checked the permissions tab in the mobsync.exe properties, and everything is ticked)
Thanks!
Andre
Off topic here but...
Disable UAC it´s so anoying

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I still might do, but UAC is a lot better in Win7 than it is in Vista - Vista's UAC is the main reason I didn't change from XP to Vista, in fact (well, that and DRM).
This is the only program I have any UAC problems with, though.
Andre
Any other thoughts on this? Does anyone else have this problem? Or can you suggest a better syncing tool than MobSync? (which, apart from this little annoyance, seems to do everything I want)
