Activesync prompts dialup box

Hi there
Running WM2003SE on my XDAII. All well except that since day 1 when I sync it opens the dialup box. Incredibly annoying. Did a search before posting and couldn't find an answer - but I bet (hope!) I'm not the first with this little beauty!
Thanks
The 'good' doctor

I sync it opens the dialup box.

on the pc?
on the pocketpc ?

on the PC (running XP)

mine does that too and i dont run 2003SE also i would find it doubtfull that
it's something the pda request that activesync on the pc does
most likely it's and option you can turn on and off activesync

I was sure of that too - but I have had a look through Tools>Options and File>Connection Settings and can't find anything that points to it. Help is predictably poor.
Wondered if it was a bug so upgraded to AS3.8. Still nothing.
Guess it's a Gates-ism I'll have to live with.
Thanks anyway.

Further developments
I have set up my new laptop with the same stuff and this error no longer occurs. Maybe a newer version of XP?

do you sync avantgo ?
because if you do and you by dialup box mean that it's trying to
call with your modem or something
then thats pretty normal because
avantgo is synced from their site not from your pc

thats what I did and now I have no problems.
Hope it helps.

thanx for your reply aniel1,
could you please further elaborate which URL are we talking about??... when i get the error, it doesn't gives any URL address. if what you tried to say was sign in with Windows Live on desktop PC then i did it already and it works fine... but doesn't get signed in on my UNIVERSAL.
am i missing anything?

farehmani... have you tried this...
connect the unit to PC via USB and let it sync with AS. Once completed, open Live. It will open GPRS to sync, cancel the GPRS connection via the bubble on the top bar. Once cancelled, Live should try to sync via AS and it should be successful.
Hopefully once it's fully synced with the server you shouldn't have anymore problems connecting. Let us know how you get on.

hi SpyderTracks,
i havn't had tried this solution so far, i would love to give it a go... but at the moment,,, i'm using vista and i am unable sync it with Windows mobile device center... i don't get the sync option. just the file transfer.
do i have to experiment your suggestion in winXP?

Interesting... my flatmate is having the same problems in Vista for some reason we can't seem to work out... that's one of the many reasons I returned to XP I know it's old but at least it works
I don't know if it will work without WMDC recognising the device, but in theory it should anyway, so long as it's recognised by Vista as a mobile device... in theory Give it a go, let me know. Good luck!
I can't remember if you tried with wireless, but you can try that too after disconnecting the GPRS connection, just connect to wireless and try syncing. Sorry if that was the original problem, I'm really tired and my memory is failing me.

cheak your connection setup

You may need to check whether your WIFI connections, or 3G or GPRS connections are set to "work" or "the internet".
also check our internet exceptions and and see if you are inadvertantly blocking your IP address ranges.
you could also try and check that your "network card" setting is using "the internet" as compared to the specific WIFI AP connection type.
I had similar problems and its likely to be due to this, you need to really have them set to "The Internet" in your WIFI, in your AS and in your GPRS or 3G internet connections.
I only use it on WIFI at home or work, NextG or 3G is just to expensive to use, all need to be set to "The Internet" and when the 3G/NextG connection bubble comes up, I just cancel it and then it goes to the WIFI connection.

Thank you for your help... But believe me: It's not a network problem.. For a lot of reason..
It doesn't work even by my ADSL (using Active Sync), It works ONLY when i delete my user/pass and i connect for the first time! Every time i want to use i have to do this workaround... So it's not a connection problem.. Because it works.. ONLY the first time..

My clock keeps being changed.

Everytime I connect my baby to my pc, it makes my time and date on my phone all out of whack. It'll be 08h43 when I connect it and then all of a sudden the time is changed to like 14h43.
How do I solve this little annoyance?
Thanks

check the settings on active sync software and settings on the phone. it may be using your PC as a time server and doing a sync. also, remove the automatic time zone settings from your 'baby'

Change your GMT in your phone. For me it's GMT+1 Paris, Madrid (I live in holland )
You can find these settings in menu>settings>clock & alarm>date and time>Time zone.
Then it should sync correctly with your location
Good luck!

Thanks guys. Let me give it a shot and see what happens.
My GMT was set and my PC clock is set to the right time but let me check my sync settings.
My poor baby....she cries everytime I connect her because she doesn't know who she is.
Very sad.

I tried all the stuff and it didn't work.
My wittle heart is sore.

Exchange Server on TP2.. not being pushed automatically....

Sprint Touch PRO2
Stock ROM
I use the exchange server. my email is not being pushed in real time. on the TP1 i had no issues with this and the mail would come in "as items arrive" which is how i prefer it.
if i do a manual sync it will connect and download any email..
if i set it to a predetermined number to sync in the drop down list it DOES those intervals with no issues..
data switch is ON and data works. i am just not getting the "as items arrive". adjusting the peak times does nothing...
are there any reg entries i need to look at?anything i can check? ive deleted and re-installed the exchange server but when set to "as items arrive" it will not fetch. it WILL fetch if i have the phone connected to ASync on the computer (either via BT or USB).
would appreciate any response from others who use an Exchange... could it be an issue on the company Exchange server side? i dont see how as i was getting the email just fine using "as items arrive" on the TP1. i no longer have the TP1 so cant check anything there...

I used to have an HTC Sprint Mogul, now have TP2. When I first got the Mogul 2 yrs ago, I could connect to my company's exchange server from the phone but direct push didn't work. Same issues as you described. I double checked all my settings.
I got a free mail2web account and deleted my comany's server to set it up (can only have one exchange server which is dumb). From the mail2web server, direct push worked perfectly every time.
To me that said there was a config problem with the server. I brought this to the attention of my company mail server admin. who was not impressed. He said his winmo phone gets push mail from the co server no problem so that was that.
A few months later, direct push started working. I didn't change any setting on my phone.
You could try mail2web free trial and see if that works.
http://mail2web.com/mobile-email/
I have the same server set up with my Sprint TP2 an so far DP works fine. Stock ROM.

You wouldn't happen to be using the Gmail push, would you? Many people have been having problems with Google's rollout of the new feature. My push email works sporadically, and attachments won't download if the file name is too long/complicated.

thank you for your response! i will contact them and see if i can get some more info.. this is a blackberry company FIRST! well it seems that it may lie on the company end... thx again and if i get some response back ill respond here...

ok i have been thru 3 sprint touch PROs now and this new one still can not hold onto the Async connection wirelessly.
a few times after a soft reset it will connect wirelessly but after some time it will just close the connection. im always in a good signal area and i have not installed any programs to alter the outlook ordata in any way. in fact the only programs i have are resco photo view, pocket mechanic, and resco registry editor.
can any sprint users comment on if they are able to KEEP their exchange running WIRELESSLY on their phone and have it set to "as items arrive" with no issues? i can set it to those preset fetch times in the drop down box but i dont want to do that and thats not PUSH email as im used to with the PRO1.
any help/opinions appreciated....
are there any reg entries i can look in to see what may be the issue?

Hi, I'm trying to sort out a similiar issue using FlexMail.
Flexmail is the best software I could find to receive mails instantly. It works great with Gmail and Exchange servers. Right now, I have 2 accounts configured (Gmail and Exchange).
In my TYTN II (which I don't have anymore) flexmail worked great. Mail got pushed 5-20 seconds after being send.
Now that I have Touch Pro 2, everything seems to work fine but somehow, when the device is sleep, the connection will eventually drop and I won't receive any mails until I wake up the device.
When I wake up my device, GPRS connection is still there. I don't know if it's related but I also configured my device to download weather every 1 hour and that doesn't happen if the device is asleep: I mean, when I wake up in the morning I can still see the moon in TF3D wheather tab.
I'm using latest official HTC ROM and everything seems to be fine in the registry settings.
I'll probably try a different ROM, but I'm pretty sure this can be solved digging a little more in the registry.
Another big difference is windows mobile version. TYTN II uses 6.1 while TP2 uses 6.5. I could try installing the official 6.1 rom and see what happens.
Marctronixx are you still having issues with Push Mail?

hey there, yes its still hit or miss with exchange on the TP2 (sprint). i also have a htc hero with exchange and it gets the email pushed instantly as it should with no issues... even while sleeping... others state they dont have this issue with exchange on their PRO2 on sprint but i am having it.. sometimes the connection will stay up even after the phone is sleep (Screen off) then it will eventually just disconnect.. no rhyme or reason as to why... didnt mean to vent! LOL but yeah issue is still there...

I can confirm Flexmail works ok with HTC Official ROM (WinMo 6.1). This is the ROM I'm using right now: RUU_Rhodium_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.19.721.3_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship
It doesn't have all the eye candy you will find with new TF3D and WinMo 6.5 but your battery should last longer and push mail should work like expected.
I don't know If I will keep this ROM. I'll have to try another windows mobile 6.5 roms to check if the problem persists with every 6.5 rom out there.
Another thing we could try is ping every 5 minutes some address in order to keep the connection alive. I think this problem has something to do with the connection closing because of inactivity, even if your device is configured to stay connected.
What do you guys think?

has nothing to do with the connection being alive or not because the data connection is always up on my device. i also have other things running in the background that uses data. out of a hard reset and only loading up the exchange credentials, it will still disconnect. its hit or miss as sometimes it will be connected.. most often it will not stay connected and it wont always connect out of a soft reset... luckily i have the htc hero so i get my items pushed... just weird... yeah i cold do the 5 minute poll but that kills battery faster. once seido gets their extended batt out i may end up doing the 5 minute poll..

My connection is also up all the time on my device, but Flexmail loses IDLE with server when the device is asleep for some time (this doesn't happen with the ROM I told you).
What other things are you running that uses data?
I could try gmail with exchange and tell you my results with different roms. What ROM are you using?
Can you try the ROM I'm using right now? (RUU_Rhodium_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.19.721.3_Radio_Rhodi um_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship)

i tried the gmail exchange early on and it was slow and didnt make a difference either... still had unreliable push service... i dont know i have wifi on with the PRO and maybe the WIFI messes with something? im going to try and remember to turn off wifi when im at the job tomorrow and see if it stay connected with wifi off.. maybe i interferes? my PRO is cleaned up nicely. i dont want to install a ROM and redo things...

...ooh the reason im late responding is i could not get on the site.. kept getting a "bad gateweay" error....

Same happened to me

ooh im using stock ROM from Sprint. i take it by looking at the link you gave me you not in the US? and as for data programs, i have the instant messengers up and running as well as 1 imap email and several pop emails...

ooh and im glad im not the only one who had the bad gateway issue...

Well, one big difference between our devices: mine is GSM and yours is CDMA. Besides that, I still think we might have a similar issue. Why? Because my TILT was working flawlessly with Flexmail and when I bought my TILT 2, using the exact same program, same SIM, same service, etc; it doesn't work like it should. And what is more, the problem for both of us is somehow related with push mail/imap idle which is the same idea (I mean, we need to get mails "as they arrive").
Right now I'm flashing another ROM. This time it's a clean AT&T ROM (without all the usual garbage).
I think I'll try Exchange connection this time with my work server and let you know how it works.
Wish me luck

thank you for updating... yes i do believe we have the same issue.. i know there is a heartbeat sent from the exchange server to the device.. kinda like how wifi devices talk to APs to let them know they are there... and somehow the device loses that. anyway, yes definitely keep me on the loop on how this new rom works out. if i may ask, do you use wifi when our home or do you just let your device stay on the cellular connection? do you let the wifi "take over" when you get home automatically or do you not use it at all? im going to turn off wifi today and see if the phone will stay connected to exchange...

Sorry for being late!! I have news
After fighting with my TILT 2 I found the perfect mixture for me.
Please remember that I don't have a CDMA device but a GSM one, don't know if ROMs and radios are different, I guess they are .
First of all, I flashed original AT&T ROM from here: http://mobilitydigest.com/forums/showpost.php?p=15639&postcount=10
Flashing that ROM brought back the original radio that came with my device which is: 4.48.25.20
After that I had to get rid of that ROM because it's full of software I don't want so I flashed this one which is an AT&T clean ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585403 (with HTC Sense 2.1 instead of AT&T Manila).
I've been using ActiveSync through Exchange for 4 days and it works flawlessly. I also installed Flexmail and it's working like a charm.
For some reason, Touch Pro 2 radio didn't work too well with my device. I have latest HardSPL.
I did a hard reset after installing my final ROM, it's always recommended to do a hard reset after flashing.
Now to answer your question: I'm always connected through data connection (3G). I don't use wifi unless I get out of my country.

welp glad all worked for you... perhaps i should look into a 3rd party ROM but i just like how mine is working , save the Async issue.....

Same Issue here
I have a unlocked sprint touch Pro2.
I have the caluklins ROM installed.
The activesync works only for the first time when I do a soft reset.
After that even if i try to do a manual syn it does not work.
Any luck so far guys?

How to get mail for WinMo over WiFi without constant connection

I am not sure if this has been discussed before but searching didn't help much as I am not sure what keyword to use.
I have a Fuze (Touch Pro) without the data service and would like the phone to periodically get the mails over WiFi. I am posting it here assuming this would apply to all WinMo devices. If not, please enlighten me.
In default settings, the phone disconnects WiFi as soon as it goes to sleep. I used Advanced Config to enable WiFi even in sleep, but now it stays connected all the time even though Pocket Outlook is configured to run every 15 minutes. For last several months it has been working this way but it drains the battery very quickly unlike my iPhone, which lasts the more than a day because it connects only to check mails when inactive.
I know with 3G service I don't have worry about it but wondering if there is any utility or setting in registry that would connect periodically for a minute or two so that PO can check for new messages.
Thanks.

How to update at intervals
generally there is an option in the email program you are using. check these options

Thanks powersupplyzzzz. The interval is already configured in ActiveSync/Pocket Outlook, but it doesn't connect to the WiFi unless it's already connected. Does it work for others? I mean does it connect to WiFi automatically when ActiveSync is ready to sync?

Wondering if I posted in the wrong forum or I am asking for something not possible on WM at the moment ...

AFAIK what you are asking is not possible, unless you ask someone to write you a script or there is an app that does this, but i havent come across one.

Thanks timmymarsh, this is what I was afraid of. I guess the old iPhone still has some use for this advantage.

What you need is a car battery that you can strap to your back which will boost your battery when required
I'll have a fish around for a real solution.
