Hi all,
I want to have my PC and PPC automatically sync with each other and update each other when connected.
So whatever changes I make on the PPC, it will automatically sync and save onto the PC copy. And whatever I do on that copy, when I sync the two together, it will automatically update to the PPC.
This way, I can always continue where I left off from regardless where I'm at.

You should use ActiveSync 4.5 from Microsoft. It is built specifically for your need.
Well, I know it will back up my files from my PDA to my computer and everytime I connect it, it'll backup any changes on the PDA to my computer, but can it work the other way around?
When I connect them together and I've made no changes on the PDA, but changes on the computer, will it transfer from computer to PDA?
So, say I made a few changes on some files on the PDA, and some changes on the computer on something else. Will it know to back up the changes on the PDA to the computer and the changes on the computer to the PDA correctly?
If this is the case, then when I select to back up 'files' on ActiveSync, does it back up my .xml files also?
Live Mesh will do this for you (MS Site) but unfortunately the mobile client hasn't yet been launched.
It's still in tech preview with a beta due soon(-ish). I've been using it for a couple of months now to keep my laptop and desktop in sync. I can't wait to be able to add my Vario II to the Mesh and give me totally syncronicity between important document, whereever and however I work on them.
This is just the start of Mesh as a platform. So many posibilities!

How do I sync MANUALLY. I want to take a file from a PC to my XDA.
However, an XDA II is set up on the same PC and I want to only use this temporarily.
How can I copy just one file across without ruining the other person's synchronised files?
Thanks.
just connect as guest and then copy the file over in File explorer on the PC
Mobile device just be listed there as a "hard drive"
How do I connect as a guest?
Also, when I try to connect, I get the "Connecting" box which doesn't actually connect (see attached picture).
it should give you a popup asking if you want to make a patnership or
connect as guest
if it's windows 9X or ME it could act up though
and make sure you are using the latest version of activesync
Hi, I miss old AS 3.8. I could sync wirelessly and I could synchronize my favorites for offline viewing on my PDA
I don´t know what MS staff is really doing, but I would rather them doing nothing than messing with things that work. At least, they should have given us the option to turn those things on, again!
I use Wizard, WM6
I downloaded a program by the name "USB killer". (It turns off RNDIS). Then, I disabled "advanced network functionality" in the PPC (settings -> USBtoPC).
I just need Activesync on the PPC side to think that Activesync on the PC side is 4.5. Right now, on syncing, it displays the error message: "to synchronize this device, you must install activesync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer"
Any ideas? Thanks
(I know that older WM versions required other Activesync versions: 4, 4.1, etc. So, there must be a check value somewhere, either PPC or PC)
Method
OK, maybe no one will be willing to solve this
Is there any way of monitoring the sends and requests that take place when you connect a WM device via USB?
If you do, please tell me. I will post the solution once I find it!

Repllog and activeync are embbeded into rom you can´t change or uninstall these at least you cook an AS-less rom or customied rom wth older AS (possible?), communications are setup by emulating a network card(you already disabled it) or via htc usb sync device (usb emulated similar to serial oldtransfers) only older devices can work with lower AS versions, you can always try another software in order to sync the stuff you need to
if you make AS PPC files from older versions work on WM6 let me know
I'm using activesync just to access the pda, not to sync.
Any sync I do its manual, mostly copying files to the storage card.
I'm using web based tools so the contacts and mails don't need sync.
Is there something I can do besides this clunky microsoft actrive sync tool?
It's wizard insists on setting up the sync I don't use.
And every time I plug in the usb the humongous sync window comes up on top just to show my 'connected'
There is an option in the usb settings to treat the phone as a storage card, but when I tried that, the phone itself changed the path to the storage, so then links didn't work.
I bet someone has figured out a way around all the microsoft junk....
Oh yeh
It would be great to use internet storage that would not only show as a folder on the Vista blisterbox but also on the Vogue. I'm afraid using internet storage would too much trouble on a little screen.
If internet storage were convenient, I could always disable active sync, so I can charge the battery on the usb without screwing up internet routes....
I'm experiencing something similar...

My issue was a little different, I didn't mind the as connecting so much, although I'm about to destroy vista for poping up active sync windows every time it connects, monstrous beast windows from a stupid place.
I just wanted to use the data connection WHILE active sync'd and after completing the sync setup on the PC, the issue was resolved.
Since I don't use sync to sync, just for power, cab installs, and manual data transfer, I didn't set it up after burning new ROMs.
All better, thanks.
Hello,
i was trying to copy certain files from my laptop to phone via bluetooth but could just not get it all working. I have BT turned on (both devices), they manage to connect via rather cumbersome set of dialogues (on laptop) but then I can only explore "services" on the device, whatever that is....
How do I send a file from lets say laptop desktop to the phone? And where can I locate it on the phone?
Thank you !
If you can explore services try looking for Bluetooth file transer service. It should open up the bluetooth shared folder which is common to both your phone and the computer. Drag and drop items from your phone or computer onto this folder and you should see them on either device. Default location of the bluetooth shared folder on your phone should be under my documents.
Thank you, will try that tomorrow back at the office
If you are using Vista, turning user account control off might help.
Mine is working now.
I gave up trying, too. Never have had any success with HTC phones, but SE phones always worked. Go figure.
Instead, I have networked/mapped my desired drives (with Resco File Explorer) of my laptop and desktop systems with the Fuze and and transfer files via WiFi that way. Works great and is fast.
Have you tried checking the box "receive all incoming beams"? It is located under settings and then the connections tab. Once there click on the Beam icon and make sure that box is checked. I couldn't send any files form my laptop to my phone until that was checked off.
how can i sync and transfer to and fro my tp2 and mac book pro?
thanks guys
If you have snow leopard, its supposed to have activesync.
If you're still on an older OS, there is a ($40) program called missing sync.
What I did is went the totally free route and bounced contacts through google. First enable addressbook to sync to google, then have phone sync to google. I've only tried it with contacts, its supposed to be able to do email and calendar from google to phone as well.
OBEX push also works from my hackintosh to the phone, but not in reverse for files.
The sync app in sl doesn't work. Already tried. Nothing on mac works. I want to transfer files etc from tp2 to mac and nothing works.
Did you try the file transfer setting in the Bluetooth settings?
On the phone? I probably did but right now not sure exactly what you mean. Sorry.
Go to Bluetooth settings, expand on Advanced (+ arrow), click on File Transfer, choose a location to receive files. Set your phone to discoverable.
On Mac, click on Bluetooth icon in menu bar (usually top right), click on Browse Device, choose your phone from list, click ok.
On phone you'll be prompted to pair with Mac and enter a 4 digit passcode of your choice, do that. Mac will prompt for same passcode, enter same 4 digit passcode. Accept all communications from Mac on phone.
Now, on Mac, the Bluetooth File Exchange utility will display the contents of whatever folder (or memory card) you chose as your save folder. Drag and drop files to it or from it and that's it.
I might update later with screenshots when i have time.
I already paired and entered the code thingy. But did not know anything about a utility in the mac blue tooth menu. I only tried the transfer on phone and nothing happened on mac or the phone could not see mac to transfer. The active sync or whatever it is on the mac sees the phone but says it can't sync with it. So I'll look in the bluetooth menu. F it works this is cool.
How fast would it transfer music from my MacBook pro to the phone?
Thanks alot for telling me about the utility in the Bluetooth menu on mac.
While I don't own a Mac, I know my brother in law has had success with bluetooth for transfering files between my Vogue and his mac as well as the use of it for a personal area network.
Have you tried using the use as drive option when you connect it by usb? this (I would think as it just acts as a uSB key) should work as long as you have a memory card in your phone. It won't "sync" though.
