How to sync a WM2003 AND a WM5 device on the same PC?

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).

Activesync 4.5 with Pocket PC 2003

Hi
I have installed Activesync 4.5.0 (Build 5096) because it is necessary to keep my HTC S710 in sync.
I have noticed however that I have frequent and repeated program crashes when i try to sync older devices such as my i-mate JAM and HP nw6515 (to my knowledge, both run Windows Mobile 2003 SE).
Did anybody have similar experiences and managed a way around it?
Thank you and best regards
Stefan

I had no problems with my WM6 device + ipaq 4150 (wm2003).

i also have no problems syncing both my xda mini (wm2003se) and my ipaq hx 2495 (WM5) with Acivesync 4.5. both work fine. if it doesn't, i've heard of other people using Activesync 4.2 successfully as well.

He has WM6 on his s710 so 4.5 is mandatory.

WM6.1 does not like MS Voice Command?

I've installed the newest build that I've seen of VC on 2 different 6.1 roms now, (DCS1.3 and Austinsync's 6.1) and I'm seeing a pattern. MS Voice Command sends 6.1 into fits... After install, the phone freezes trying to go into settings. A Soft reset will bring it back, but this is a deal breaker with 6.1 for me. I don't think this is a chef specific issue either.
ATT Tilt
DCS1.3 or AustinSync6.1 Rom
a 6.1 Radio (1.64.06.04)
MS VC Build 1.6.17193
Anyone else have this issue?

running alex ultraclean beta2 and msvc works perfectly out of the box

Mine works just fine with Dutty's 6.1 beta.

If you have trouble try what's detailed in this post

SSL issue with Treo 700wx (WM5)

My phone is a Treo 700wx. The OS is Windows Mobile Version 5.0, OS 5.1.195 (Build 14932.2.2.2).
I can not connect to the following secure web site:
https://www.quantumgateway.com/mobile/
The company claims they can do nothing about it. I do not have this trouble with other SSL enabled sites that I have tested so far.
I looked at the cert they are using and desktop FireFox says it is RC4 128 bit which doesn't seem right for modern SSL. I know my own web hosting certs say "AES-256 256 bit".
Their cert was issued by:
http://www.securetrust.com
Is it possible the root cert isn't installed on the phone? I can't seem to figure this out or even where to download the root cert just to be sure.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Bump.
Could somebody at least test this site with their WM5 phone to see if they can connect? Thanks.

Hi Everybody,
I'm user of CR96 Touch HD™ v6.5.0.2.2 beta
Looking for working CAB of Remote Desktop Mobile client compatible with my or any other WM6.5 ROM.
I have noticed that for some devices cookers include Remote Desktop client of Microsoft. I hope that one of you can help me out and create a cab with working Remote Desktop Mobile (MS RDP client).
P.S: I tried few, that were avilable on the net, but could not make it to work on WM6.5, only on WM6.1.
Thanks in Advance.

I am also looking for a WM6.5 ROM RDP client.

HI, thanks for the Link. I tried it, but it did not work.
I'm still looking for Remote Desktop Mobile client from Microsoft.
I tried to install different cabs with different ROMS like: CR98 and MSD, with DOtNet and without it.
Please, if somebody knows the way to solve RDP issue on WM 6.5 let us know how.
Thanks

Curious if anyone found a fix workaround for this?
