ActiveSync changes - General Questions and Answers

I use a IBM Thinkpad with Windows Xp and have installed Activesync. I also have a HTC Fuze.
When I connect the Fuze it sync just fine. The next day when the laptop has been turn off for the day and I try to sync again, it acts like I didn't sync just yesterday and makes me go through the whole process again. So I do it and now I have two sync names on my device.
When I come back on the third day, it does it again and wants me to delete one of the sync names!
Does anyone know why it will not keep the first one only and not make me keep resyncing?

XDA IIs Sync with outlook problem

my XDAIIs has been working fine sync'ing with my work and home computer, then it just decided not to sync the calender, everything else is fine. if you look in activ sync/tools/options there is no tick box next to calender anymore, There used to be ! This is happening on both computers, i have even tryed it on a brand new computer, still the same. O2 blame active sync, microsoft blame O2.
I have recently upgraded the XDA software, but did'nt sync for a while after doing so. I cannot therefor say that this only started after the upgrade, but i think so. One thing is for sure, three different computers cannot have the same problem, i think i am almost sure the problem is in the XDA, but what can stop just the calender from syncing ??

Active Sync problem

Hello!
Since I had battery problems and the active sync always active was the main cause (now I can use the Pro for two days, otherwise at dinner time it was dead already), I read a lot about it and people told to kill the notification with taskmanager called replog.exe, or something like that.
It worked well, the problem is that I still want to connect to activesync to install programs and sync with outlook and now I cant. device is not connected at all.
how can i start activesync manually or solve this issue?
please help! this is getting me nuts!

Activsync problems

I have HTC Fuze I purchase two weeks ago and having problems with Activesync.
I've installed the software and hook the usb to the computer and it sync just fine.
The next day I tried to sync, it didn't reconize my profile from previous day and made me do another one.
It worked for a couple days, now it says I have two profiles on the device and I need to delete one to sync.
Why is the Activesync not recognizing the very first one I did?
I'm assuming you are getting an error code. It would help if you could tell us the specific code #. It would narrow it down.
Also, are you using Activesync 4.5? Which would be the most recent. My last question is, which Windows Mobile are you using? If you are using WM 6.1 it has a bug which causes problems with Activesync, if you have more than 100 of any category of item that is being synced. Contacts, appointments, notes, etc.
One possibility for why it didn't recognize your profile, have you made any significant changes in your phone during this time?
When you delete one of the profiles, make sure you not only delete the profile on your PC, make sure you delete the extra profile(s) on the activesync on your phone.
I'm not getting an error code, I get the "welcome to Pocket PC Wizard" and it wants me to set the device up all over again.
I am using ActiveSync 4.5 and WM 6.1.
When it sync, I have 54 contacts and 28 calendar events, so it didn't reach the 100 you were talking about.
I did delete everything from the device and PC last night when I set the lastest profile up.
I just plug the USB to the device again today and it pop open the "Welcome to Pocket PC Wizard". I just set everything up last night.
I guess until they fix the bug, I will always have to do this.

FIXED! --- Outlook Sync Wireless not working after Hard Reset

I reset my phone and now I cant resync with my outlook. It keeps asking me for a damn certificate. Its this stupid WMDC in windows Vista . When I first sync back 2 years ago, it was in XP with the Active Sync software. That was a breeze. Now this crap wont let me do anything. I need to sync to my work email wirelessly. Its useless to get my updates only when I plug the phone to the PC. Thats why I am in front of the PC, I dont need the phone anymore. I tried the search tool and nothing came back that seems similar to mine.
Thanks.
Here is the fix in case yous all run into this crap.

[Q] Sinking with Sync!

Hi All
Just moved from an HD2 to the rather sensational Sensation - am enjoying its functionality enormously!
What I'm struggling with is pretty fundamental - HTC Sync
I installed the latest version on my WinXP PC. When I connected the Sensation, nothing happened. I tried launching HTCSync manually, and sometimes I would get the splash screen and sometimes nothing. Basically, I can't even begin to sync the phone.
I tried installing HTCSync on another PC (A windows 7 laptop). This time, I got the splash screen and then it froze. Then when I rebooted, not even the splash screen.
When connected the Sensation tries to find HTC Sync, but eventually gives up saying: ' 'Can't find HTC Sync blah, blah'
I've installed and uninstalled many times now on both the XP and Win7 machine, but this hasan't made any difference.
On a positive note, if I opt for treating the Sensation as a drive using HTC Sync (when the window pops up on my phone to choose), I can 'see' the phone that way.
So it's not a complete disaster.
I'm pretty competent with WinMo phones, but my newness to Android, is making reluctant to tinker with anything!
Is there anyone out there who could point me in the direction of a solution?
Thanks
The way I do it is have HTC Sync open and then put the device in the HTC Sync mode. Have you tried that?
Sinking with Syncing
Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that I have tried to use 'sync' mode
Hmm, did you try a hard reset on your phone?
Sinking with Syncing
Yeah, that too! - no change!
HTC Sync kinda sucks. Try this. You'll need to get the desktop client as well & it syncs perfectly.

Also see if you have a Firewall enabled, it gave me problems on Vista just because I had Windows firewall enabled (and never asking me if I wanted to use this app or to block it, really strange).
I don't use HTC sync now but I remember reading somewhere that you need to install adb driver in your phone. There should be a htc sync folder in your Sd card. I ever had the same problem as you. I didn't know about the adb drivers and I gave up on htc sync. I then tried android-sync which installed adb drivers in my previous android phone during the set up. After the installation, htc sync worked! So I did not use android-sync and was happy to use htc sync. Now, I sync my sensation with gmail. Hope my information on adb drivers will point you in the right direction.
HTC Sync
Well, I've given up on HTC Sync. The workaround for me was that I only needed it to sync calendar, tasks and contacts. Google does that over the network with Events and People, so I just needed to set up a ToodleDo account and data is synced.
Strange though, couldn't get HTC Sync to work on ANY PC here.
Never mind....

Hi
I've just come over from an HD2 also, and I had the same problem.
I tried to sync my Sensation with my laptop and it did the same as yours
I tried to sync an old Hero with my laptop and this would not work
I then tried to sync my daughters Desire HD with my laptop and it worked
I tried to sync a Desire with my laptop and it didn't work first time but on the third attempt it worked.
So I kept trying the Sensation until it worked.
It now connects first time.
Syncing feeling
Yeah, it's all a bit bizarre, I got a mate round with a Desire and his connected first time, then when I tired to connec tmine, it also connected.
Strange!
