ActiveSync icon in the tray

Hi,
I believe this happens only on WM6, as I haven't got similar problems on WM5 (many ROMs).
The problem is, that even though I removed the Init_Tray link and don't have the tray icons usually - whenever I connect my Wizard to the PC, the tray appears again with AS icon only!
I haven't managed any option / tweak to remove this icon from the tray and as I keep my Wizard connected to my laptop for a long time - this little thing is simply incredibly annoying!
Anyone knows how to get rid of this? Any help would be appreciated....

Goto "Settings>Connections>USB to PC" and make sure that "Enable advanced network functionality" is checked.

Are U sure of that? I had this one checked but I had some problems with connecting to my work laptop... I found on the XDA tip saying that I should turn this off...
Well, we'll see... I've been connected so I'll enable this option and see what happens.

which version of active sync do you have?

I have no choice - AS 4.5. I believe no other version works with WM6.
Yeah: I've checked it - AS won't connect with this option enabled

Some questions about WM6

Hello!
I'm new here, please bear with me... Also i'm norwegian, which i will use as an excuse.
Well, to the point...
I currently have vjgraces WM6 v3.7 on my Tornado (qtek8310).
In my SMS inbox the left softkey is "delete", but in WM5 the left softkey is "new". Is there any way to change this?
Also, in messaging "app", is there any way to add Hotmail as a option there, as I could in WM5?
Jarle
edit: these are not critical problems, I can learn to live with it. I just got MSN to work over wifi also, so the hotmail-issue is not so critical. But i would be nice to have the e-mails on the phone tho.
Also, anyone got a good notepad-app to recommend?
edit2: Got a lot on my mind today...
IP Phone. Does it ever work? In the Settingsmenu in Comm manager it doesn't work to select ip phone, and i cant find it in start->settings->connections.
Is this option disabled? Would be great to call for free in wifi-zones.
Sorry if a lot of my questions are noob and such, but as i said, im norwegian.
Also, (lots of alsos here today), before, with WM5, if I had the phone connected to my computer with USB, I could surf on the phone using the computers internett connection. Now I cant, why?

i can help you with the internet thingy but not on the other stuff,if you want to use your desktop connection for you wm phone just got to settings/connection/advance and set everything there to automatic that should let you use your desktop internet connection on your wm phone.

It is set to automatic on every option, but it still download over edge.
Anyway, thats not a big problem, its not often I use internett on my phone when its connected to PC anyway, but thank you for your help.

Also, anyone got a good notepad-app to recommend?
I use PocketNotepad by Tillansoft. Freeware, no troubles noticed yet.

Your 'Pass through Internet' issue
For your internet connectivity issue while connected to PC, please try this:
In 'Active Sync', go to File - Connection Settings.. The field, 'This computer is connected to:' must have the selection 'The internet'. If you made a change here, close Active Sync, restart the PC, connect the device and try.
You may be interested in these: If you use Wndows XP, search for the topic 'Residential Gateway' in Help and Support. Also look for 'Desktop pass-through overview' in Active Sync Help topics. Hope it helps.
JoLe.

Thank you Jole. I had the 'connection settings' in ActiveSync set to Automatic before. I changed it to Internet, and it works like a charm!
Going to test PocketNotepad also.

Activesync Turns ON by it self all the time!!!

I have a problem with my new T-pro it keeps on turning ON Activesync for no reason. everything is setup exactly the same way it was on my TyTN II, but it Starts Activesync all the time....
I keep turning it OFF from Task Manager but it Turns it right back on!!!!
this is really anoying!! Anyone have a clue on how to cure this???

does it show on the screen or in the background as a process??

My tytn II turned on Active sync all the time (in ran in the background as a process). If I shut down active sync on the pda, i would find it running in the background a couple of mins later.
Edit: Although on my previous pda phone, Eten X500+, active sync would stay off until I connected my PDA to the computer. When I disconnected the PDA, the active sync app would close (process would stop). I don't think its an issue, it's just HTC's engineer's at work. Maybe they had issues when active sync closed, like the pda wouldn't sync properly next time is was connected to the computer.

same here, i have a mogul and it would do the same, im guessing it is normal.

Well I've got WkTask installed and it shows on the top title bar...
And it shows in the "Running Program list" in Task Maanager...
I've remove almost everything on the device and deleted my exchange partership and it still Turns on!!!
It is driving me nuts... I'm at the stage of calling HTC... but I know what their answer is to all problems... they will say have tried "Hard Reset" ???
So next step will be that I guess... Unless someone has another Idea...
By the way, another issue but, the battery life is rfeally ****ty on this device compared once again to my TyTN II, I'm not impressed at all so far!!! This morning 07:30 off the charger, toyed with it for a max of 15 minutes in the whole day and the Batt went dead on me arround 18:00!!!!!
And to say that I spent over a Grand ($ 1,150.00) for it, incl all transport, customs, brockerage, import taxes... Not a happy camper at all!!!

B18, This is certainly not "Normal"!!!! On my TyTN II I could turn it off and it would not turn back ON by it self untill the set schedule in it!!!

That's not true. I feel it IS normal. Every dutty ROM I ever ran on my Kaiser (all of them) This happened. It doesn't happen in the Leo ROMs (all of them) I use though, maybe has to do with the way the ROM is setup.

yep, activesync really ought to be running in the background...it uses hardly any resources and doesnt pester you so why is it such a problem?!?

Try this, it works:

Of course fter soft reset AS will strt ONCE but after you close it it will never start again.

Evidently there is a problem with this unit... is it related to AS???

Because this is the only thing I can see that would be draining my Batt so fricking fast...
It has nthing to do with the app it self but the fact that if AS is trying to Sync all the time it turns the Radio ON and Consumes power... which leads to extreme batt drain!!!

I had this battery draining problem too. My workaround was to ensure that Data Connections are set to auto-disconnect after a certain time (for me 1 minute).
This greatly improved my battery life to the point that I now don't mind that ActiveSync is constantly on (however annoying and pointless that may be... previous WM5/6/6.1 ROMs I used on my Trinity never had this occur)
Anyway to auto-disconnect via registry:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings
CacheTime=60
(60 seconds before disconnect, change to suit you)
SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
(default is "~GPRS!" which is always on)
Or install Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool, run, and select Menu->Connection Settings and you'll see "Disconnect after :" "x minutes" options.
Try that if it doesn't work there's also an ActiveSync setting that people say chews the battery on any WM device... google will find it for you. I tried it but the auto-disconnect for me worked much better.

Yeh this is the ActiveSync drain I was talking about... I did this but still find ActiveSync restarting itself tho. But at least it doesn't seem to drain battery anymore.

Does this auto disconnect happen no matter what, or only if the connection is inactive?
For example, will it stay connected if im connected to live messenger?
Also, will it turn itself on to get my emails according to the schedule (every 30 mins for me)?

As i red it somewhere, here's how have disabled activesync autostart permanently:
> Disable notification repllog.exe - AppRunAfterTimeChange
And voila, just manual activesync.
Note - You can use DotFred's Task Manager to accomplish this task.

Wi-Fi Popups and Notifications Won't Stop

Hi,
I've got both a Fuze and a Diamond on AT&T, and both have the same problem. If WiFi is enabled, I get a constant stream of annoying popups and audible alerts as I drive down the street, letting me know about every Wi-Fi AP on my route, as if I cared. This is very annoying and I've struggled to make it stop.
I have gone into Settings, Sounds and Notifications, and disabled Wireless Network Notification MANY times. That works...until I reset. And the setting changes back on me!!! I reset every couple of days to keep the OS working smoothly, and so this @#[email protected] notification setting gets activated every time.
Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem, OR if you are NOT having this problem even with Wi-Fi on and moving around an urban area.
Please, tell me if there is a solution or registry hack. But please don't tell me to turn off Wi-Fi. Disabling a huge feature of the device isn't a solution. That's like a doctor cutting off my leg because of a sprained ankle.
FYI, the Diamond is stock HTC with tweaks from DiamonTweak, Advanced Config, and Diamond TF3D Config. The Fuze is running NATFs ROM with the same tweak tools.
Thanks.

I've had a similar problem. Have you tried going to: Settings > Connections (tab) > WiFi > Click on Menu > Advanced > Untick "Turn on available network notification" > Save ??

I had the same problem where the setting wouldn't stick on reset. I just wrote a one line MortScript that disables the wifi notification registry setting that runs when phone boots.

Please Share
Please share the how to.
I'm not familiar with MortScript, but have you got a file or a method you can share here?

I had not tried that. But the box was checked. I have now unchecked it and performed a reset, and as before, the wifi notifications returned. Good idea, but no fix.

Go to http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Download and install MortScript 4.1.
Using notepad or similar text editor, create a file containing the following line:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\{DDBD3B44-80B0-4b24-9DC4-839FEA6E559E}", "Options", 0);
Save the file with an extension of .mscr (e.x. "DisableWiFiNotification.mscr").
Copy the file to your phone.
Finally create a shortcut to the file into the \\Windows\StartUp folder of your phone.

thanks
Great, thanks for the help ICWinner.

Similar to the problem above, I keep bluetooth on all the time and for some reason, the phone constantly has a notification which just says "Bluetooth is on". Does anyone know what the registry key is to disable this one? Or if there is a setting somewhere I am missing?

This May Be A Fix
Hi, I'm the OP, and it looks like I found a fix in another thread.
Check out what Chetstriker has posted at:
