Activesync always on

First of all, I want to thank all of you for giving all of us this information to do these things to our Wizards.
Second I would like to thank the cookers for their wonderful ROMs.
Third, please don't tell me to search... I have been searching for a couple of days but every post the search returns has dozens of pages, some hundreds!!
I have a new Cingular 8125. I am currently running Xplore 1.1. Every time I soft reset (Or hard reset for that matter). ActiveSync is running. How can I stop it from autostarting?

Power off the phone, or remove the battery. Then it won't restart...
Seriously, the thing is built in to restart on its own. I do have to say I don't tend to see it start up as much with WM6 as I did with WM5, but it still does show up in my icon bar as running. I'm not aware of a reghack or anything to stop it. Its just one of those dumb things Microsoft thinks its doing you a favor by restarting it.

Thanx mfrazz. I use task manager to shut it off, so I have a workaround, the funny part is it doesn't show running in Comm manager unless it is connected. But my Wifi doesn't work unless I shut it off... I did remove "WiFiInit" from my start-up folder. I don't want wifi to start on its own either. Now if I can disable GPRS completely....

Problem with connecting mobile phone to PC!

I have a quite unusual problem when i connect my mobile phone to PC. It's very hard to explain nature of my problem. I can't figure how to describe it so I made a video to show you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtqCkyRXArc
Little explanation:
When I connect my mobile phone to PC everything gets synced like it should, but active window on my screen every few seconds gets selected and then it deselects so it's very hard to do anything, a specially write something as it doesn't register some of the letters i pressed. In video I'm writing numbers in order and you can see that in the period of time when active window deselects it self it doesn't registers numbers that I entered.
I recently upgraded to Vista 32-bit and Windows Mobile Center 6.1.6965, but I had the same problem on WinXP with ActiveSync installed.
I'm searching internet for weeks now to find solution, or someone with same problem, with no success.
Is there anybody else with this problem or with possible solution?
I would appreciate any info!
Thank you!

It seems the focus is moving away from your current active window for some reason. This is the same effect you would get if, for example, you were to click on some other windows while continously typing in notepad, and then clicking on the notepad window again..
must be due to some program running in the background.. does this happen only with the sync software running?

Yes. it happens only when i connect my Vox to PC. I lost my charger so I charge my Mobile phone via USB. To be able to work on my PC while charging my Vox I have to disable USB connection in connection settings of device center, because it is really annoying to work on PC when focus is moving away from active window every few seconds. I had the same problem on WinXP with AciveSync.
I don't know which program could do such a thing, and do it only when I connect my mobile phone? Because i had the same problem on XP I'm starting to think maybe something is wrong with my mobile phone. I did hard reseted my phone few times. No effect.

You simply might want to try a different Mini-USB-cable. I lately had problems with the phone synching for only 45 seconds, then dropping out. After two days of hair-pulling I simply changed the cable - and everything worked fine.

at first I thought it worked, but in few minutes it started to do the same thing again.

Activesync of Outlook stopped working

For no apparent reason, Activesync (4.5 5096) of Outlook on my TC (standard ROM see below) has stopped working. Outlook email/contacts/diary not getting synced.
After plugging USB in a message says 'Sync cannot be connected succesfully...try again... and run troubleshooting..'. But Activesync/Help/Troubleshooting/Reporting says there is nothing wrong! Indeed, I can still explore TC and card, sync other software (e.g. Media Player, TomTom Home, eWallet etc).
But I can't get in to the ActiveSync/Options menu to check out the relationship. Have soft reset TC, turned off PC firewalls etc, but nothing helps. Little puzzled because it all worked fine for the past 2 months and I wasn't even playing around when it decided not to work!
Any ideas please?
Thanks,
CI

had the same problem some time ago. changed the cable and everything was fine.you could also try uninstalling and reinstalling activesync.

Jackster
Thanks. Cable was OK, but uninstall/reinstall of activesync worked. indeed speeded up activesync and fixed a lot of other minor secondary problems while it was at it would recommend it for all every now and then. strikes me that activesync is one of the those bolt-on bits of MS obeseware that needs regular maintenance?

USB Device not recognized
To mark the anniversary of me posting my original message, all of a suddden and for no apparent reason, Activesync has stopped working again. Bizarre
This time its a little different, I don't get anything except a pop message on PC saying 'USB device not recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance click on this message'. Which of course I di and it didn't help!
So, I've tried
- un-installing/re-installing Activesync 4.5
- rebooting PC and TC umpteen times
- changed USB port/cable
- tick/untick Settings/Connections/USB-to-PC/Enable Advanced network functionality
- putting the kettle on
Nothing is working (Although the cup of tea was nice
Would really appreciate some help please
Thanks

Help! Really desperate on this one. I have been trying to think why this should suddenly happen. Two things possible:
- During my last succesful sync I received and answered a call. Would this damage registers or something?
- I accidently pulled the mini-USB headphone cable a bit while listening toi music. But the sound is still perfectly OK, and I receive power charge via USB even though it won't connect/sync. And like I said, I've swapped cables/ports.
I've Googled this a lot and most people fix by fiddling with stuff I have already done and praying!
Please. Anyone got any ideas before I too start praying!
Thanks

1. No, it should not. Never heard it did.
2. AFAIK, not reason as long as it charges trough USB port.
Try to delete device from Active Sync while device is not connected. You might need to restart PC.
You'll have to set options again when device is recognised.
This is what I have to do often.
Also, check device name on device itself, it tends to change from time to time for no apparent reason (at least to me). If it changes, it causes following problems to me:
1. Active Sync troubles
2. BT connection to car audio stops working.
Hope some of this will help...
BTW... you have WM 6.0 on it? If so, don't upgrade to WM 6.1... IMHO, WM 6.0 is faster than 6.1 and has less problems with Active Sync...

Bodisson,
Thanks for suggestions. Alas, none work
It looks like I am going to have to hard reset and/or burn new ROM. For those of us who don't do this regularly, this can be a nerve racking experience. However, I was perhaps sweating too much about it for a couple of reasons:
- it seems very few people have anything good to say about WM6.1. Until now I have been pretty happy with WM6.0 and have had 14 months of virtually trouble-free use, so maybe I'll just stick with that. I'm not a power-user, so the vast array of cooked ROMs is rather bewildering. Unless one is rock solid and aimed at non-power end-users?
- I thought installing a new ROM without Activesync was impossible, but I see someone has worked a way to do it via the SDHC card. Well done XDA
So, unless anyone has some further ideas I will just hard reset to WM6.0 and hope for the best. I have this terrible feeling though that my mini-USB port is damaged and I'll get the same bubble of doom even after hard reset.
Thanks

Either do a hard reset back to factory (and hope you can re sync all your stuff with the PC),
OR
Re flash the rom to C Shekar's "b" rom. It really is very good, and transforms the phone. In fact, it is so good that I have finally stopped fiddling with my phone! (and I'm a born fiddler!)
It is very good, and works immediately, but you might need to spend time tweaking it - the must is to install the correct radio.
I've done quite a lot of rom upgrading, so am quite comfortable now with the process. If you want to do it and need a hand, let me know.

Have you tried to verify your firewall? Last time I had some Sync problems was just after updating my firewall that changed settings to default, blocking the Polaris-PC communication.

Have tried disabling all firewalls with no luck.
I've hit a brick wall on this one, but am fearful it will be hard to get device back to working order again if I do hard-reset and still can't sync
Suggestions very welcome
Thanks

OK, I feel for you on this one!
If you don't want to flash to a new rom (or, re flash to your old one), there is a solution but it involves removing and renaming your Outlook.pst file ... the procedure (which is on this site somewhere) seemed fraught with danger, to me, so i preferred to re flash when i had a similar problem.
Before re flashing, if you decide to, you backup your data using PIMBackup - only your contacts and maybe phone call list, not anything specific to the phone's operating system or software.
Re flash, then restore the data.
Then, Active Sync will see the phone as a completely new system.

Could anyone help me with a problem with my third screen of my smartphone 20757ROM?

I built a 20757 ROM for my smartphone AmoiE72(Also known as RoverPC R5,Orange C200,etc).After I succeeded in moving tornado's XIP to this device and let it word quite well, I faced a problem with the SYS.
After hundreds of times' build and flash,it always stop at the third screen,on that occasion, the activesync working, then I can use tools on PC to stop the program names"Startup splash".
And some time when I plug the Activesync line to the PC,the phone imediatelly passed the screen ,do not need to stop the thirdscreen manually.But when I remove the line and warm reset the phone,it stop at the third screen again!
can anyone help me with that?
Or if anybody knows how to ban or stop automaticlly that screen(ms_splash.png)
thx

This ROM has problems on Tornado too. And we don't know how to solve it.

Memmaid dead registry problem

My problem using this(memmaid 2.3,windows mobile 6.1) is when I open the main program, and clean up the dead registry, it will go on and not stopping even if it is already clean more than it should. Does anyone have the solution?

dead registry
i bought an asus q552w one week ago and want to install some prgm (backup for example, sktool) i tried this memmaid... after 20 min it was showing 34.6 mega (yes!) of dead registry so i cancelled the cleaning process... what is wrong pls? tks

memmaid problems cleaning dead registry
I am having the same problem here on my Samsung Omnia II (W.M. 6.5) . I had installed the MemMaid 2.3 and when I run it , when reaches the dead registry to clean, it keep´s runing forever. I waited till it reaches 50MB , what is impossible on dead registry...
Anyone had this problem? Does anyone know what is happening?

registry problem
Many people encounter the following computer problems: take a long time to start up, load websites or run programs. Recently I find functional software which can fix all these problems just with one click: tuneup360, maybe you guys could have a try.

Actually most times there is no need to rebuild or reinstalled your PC windows system, what you need is a PC protector. TUNEUP360 is good choice, you just need to click one big “fix now” button and get your computer fixed at once. ---By DearBrands Software
