Activesync issues - General Questions and Answers

I have been experiencing an weird issue with my AS 4.5 . When I connect my P3452 it keeps on saying "looking for change" and finally fails..
I use "activesync" only for getting the internet connection from my PC. I mean I have a broadband connection at my PC. and I use activesync only when i need to use internet on my ppc, So my question is ; "is there any alternative way which will allow me to use PC's internet connection on PPC ? or the only way is to write my own s/w for data packet transfer ?"
P.S.
I think, my cable or the connector b/w my ppc and the cable may be malfunctioning. How is HTC customer support? Do they replace or repair properly? I m within warranty period though.

22 views and no reply?? someone help me please.
I have yet another question.. Does installing custom made ROM void warranty? I mean I have a custom made ROM installed now. 'd I change it to a 'official ' one before i go to the service center?

Hey,
Firstly custom rom will void your warranty, so do at your own risk! If you have an official rom handy and you only softspl (uspl) then no one will know if you flash original one back on..... do make sure you read LOTS before flashing tho....
Secondly, if oyu have broadband at home, wireless? then just use the wireless function on ur ppc?
If you dont then check the settings on active sync and make sure the connection says this computer connects to the internet and not any other setting like automatic.
If that fails, goto active sync on both ur PPC and pc and delete the partnership. THen you can set up a clean partnership again, that normally gets rid of most gremlins.
Good luck.

Activesync Network sharing

Recently i started to use activesync to share internet connection over BT with my pc, it works fine, though i have two questions:
first one is the synchronisation wizard that pops up immediatly after my wizard connects. i've noticed that i need to close it for net link to be established. I'd like to disable it somehow, so that i don't need to get anywhere close to my PC to connect, it's quite annoying. I even tried to capture the AS window with my own software to close it, but was unable to recognize it properly. any chance to do it?
other thing is, when i use usb to sync with AS, i am able to acces lan resources with total commander. I was hoping i can do the same with BT connection, but so far i was unable to locate the proper solution for this idea... would be cool if i had it working, i used to do it over wifi, but i prefer using BT now, help anyone...
thanks in advance guys
Still nothing, i'm stuck with this problem, would be grateful for any solution
Life can be so cruel...
So just for your information guys, problem is solved. though im rather mad about it, as it happened an ugly way;]
so i;ve finally managed to create an application that captures proper Activesync windows and closes synchronisation wizard, so that my xda establishes connection without me even touching desktop pc. thats fine. i just couldn't remember where in registry to place my app so that it opens when i connect (i don't like the idea of my program just sitting in windows tray all the time), the idea is cool, it's almost finished, i go google. "activesync registry"
first result is this...
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/applications/undocumentedactivesync.htm
you can't imagine how angry i get... ;]
anyway, there's no need for my program to exist, i just change/add one registry value, thats it...
just why couldn't i find it for over a month, and i did right after i found another way to solve it??? life sucks ;]

Device name changes automatically - ActiveSync stopped working with bluetooth

Hi!
I have a very annoying problem with my Qtek 9100 (WM6 - TNT.1933). The device name changes all the time. I set it once to a name of my preference but suddenly after some time it was WINDOWSMOBILE21 and now it is WINDOWSMOBILE61. This of course causes problem to bluetooth device id.
In general I'm synchronizing my device with two PCs. I'm using cable for one of them and bluetooth for the other. Currently I cannot use bluetooth. I get this message: 'Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC....'. No matter what I tried I cannot fix the problem.
Somehow I believe these issues are related. I'm also suspecting that Advanced Config may cause problem.
Any ideas?
i think its the bluetooth thing
i had it connected to activesync on bluetooth on a vista pc,
when i stopped the bluetooth it just kept being connected.
i put an ipaq 2200 in the cradle and mobile device manager
wont make a connection as it is still connected to my phone :|
so i turned off my phone and it was still connected :S
and i could see all my folders in the phone while being disconnected
i pulled the battery and it still was connected :|
then i broke connection on the pc and re-cradled the ipaq and it worked
pretty weird..
i used the advanced config too , it seems to mess up some things indeed
but the activesync still works..
btw there is a new version of this adv config on the way i read somewhere
which probably fixes the issues it has.. it was still beta stage at that time
i looked
I don't understand exactly what you are suggesting.
Let me clarify further...
My phone has a partnership with my laptop via bluetooth. But when I try to use it I get 'Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC....' message. However my laptop's activesync works fine. I can also sync the device with laptop using IR. But not bluetooth.
At home, I sync device with PC using USB. No problem there.
At parallel to all that, my device's name changes all the time. No I set it back the name I want but I'm almost sure that it will change again.
uhm .. you can have only 2 partnerships with activesync if im correct
u need to pair the bluetooth devices and then make sure it has the same
com-port setup in activesync as the one it has on the device
i use activesync 4.5 and u can set the option :
allow wireless networks while connected
devicename changes are bit strange.. u mean the activesync names or the
name the device has itself ?
Configuration of ActiveSync must be correct since it was working.
Yes, I'm talking about the mobile device's name. The one you see in Advanced Config and also in Settings>System>About>Device ID.
probably this advanced config isnt so good ...
some registrysettings are for specific windows mobile
and some are specific settings for a device.
when u run such tweak programs it can set the wrong values
its best to set them by hand or dont use at all since most things wont need
being tweaked.. like u say u can set the name in the settingsscreen..
there is a new version of this config prog also.. maybe that solves the issue
I installed recently version 1.1, if this is the one you mean, but nothing changed. I will try to completely uninstal it and see how it goes.
This has nothing to do with Bluetooth.
This has everything with how ActiveSync works.
I had the same problem. For me, every time my device id changed, all my registered programs lost their registration. Frustrating.
The FIX: On your PDA, edit your "Owner Information" (Start->Settings->Owner Information), and use whatever you put in your "Name" field to register your apps.
The Device ID will continue to change every time you sync. When an app goes to look at what name the device is, it FIRST checks the Owner Information:Name, then if that isn't there, it checks the Device ID.
Good luck.

Which 'apps' do you mean?
In Owner Information I have my full name, address etc. as expected.

I have the same annoying problem with my Kaiser and WMDC on Vista, and also had the problem with my Hermes previously. The device syncs OK, and is recognised as "MDA_Vario_III" within my PC's File Explorer. I have had no problems with programs becoming unregistered.
However, no matter how often I change the Device ID on my PDA back to the name I require, it will revert back to some obscure meaningless name provided by WMDC.
I have been looking for a solution to this for a while but to no avail.
Same problem with Vista. Was it ever resolved?
Same problem here, any solution ?
There seems to be a bug if you are using an underscore in the Device ID.
I changed mine and the name seems to "stick" in ActiveSync now.
Hyphens seem to work okay, which is probably about as close to underscore as you'll be able to get

Bingo!
Even the Windows Mobile Device Center is using the old given name - mobsync has shown straight the underscore-free DeviceID and
it has not been changed by WMDC!
Thanks!

Bought Sprint Touch Pro and Internet not working... help?

ok heres the story....
i bought a used mint condition touch pro and activated on sprint online and the touch pro is running fine but the net wasnt working... i took it to sprint and they told me that the inner workings of the usb port were damaged and it was hard to communicate with the device via usb cable so they could not do their stuff, i though it was BS cuz it charges and connects to activesync as well as flash drive just fine at home till i tried to unlock the device which always gave me communication errors... i can do it via sd card no problem as i did and flashed energyrom just now but i still cant connect to the web and they said theres nothing that can be done about on their part that and i would have to call insurance and shell out 100 bucks for another one cuz the in-store warranty did not cover that. But i dont think that the usb port (which is fine IMO BTW) has anything to do with the net not working rite?
they told me do dial ##DATA# and restore the profile, soft reset and then attempt to update the profile via settings but it fails every time with error code 67 / incorrect username/password... i flashed to stock rom before this and hard resetted BTW and no dice... i think it may be a hardware problem cuz everytime i try to update my settings and fails, the username of the previous owner always goes back and thats maybe whats going on. but to no avail the device updates with my info...
the USB port damage that they mentioned was to connect the device to a diagnostic machine and since its damaged it cant connect to diagnose the problem so i guess im stuck then...
What do you think? if i can get my web working i would most likely keep it since i can flash via sd no problem and switch it for a pro2 easier than paying for it. i tried to update profile and prl but they always fail... i always get a incorrect username/password error 067
if anyone can help me get my net workin again i would fully thankful, where can i manually get my sprint internet settings?? cuz the DCD carrier cab and PRL update cab did not work for me...
i have noticed that when i go to device info. the sprint username isnt mine so i guess that would be the problem, i know what mine is but where do i change it? and what about password and anything else required for the sprint internet sevice to work??

Help!!! ATT tilt with windows mobile 6.5

I bought an att tilt with windows 6.5 and pc.ultimate v18 rom 2/15/09.
My phone will only partially connect to my laptop. i.e. activesync shows connected but will not sync. Also, Device manager only shows a generic mobile device not "att tilt" or "kaiser" I would like to get my contacts, calendar and tasks on my phone. Any suggestions?

I dont have a tilt.. but you might want to try flashing a more stable rom on to it? It sounds like it might be a rom issue. If not i suggest re-installing active sync and go to active sync on your phone and delete any profiles that it has on there.
Help Att tilt
Thanks for responding...
How do I flash a new rom to it? My computer doesn't appear to recognize it. I get the following error message when I connect, "critical communication serviceshave failed to start. Try resetting mobile device and then connect again." I have done soft resets and hard resets with no luck. I am wondering if I am missing a speciific driver for the phone that will resolve this.
Firgo
try a different computer. cid unlock your phone then hard spl then flash.
Well spose the best thing is to get you to the right part of XDA.
Kaiser ROM Development http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
Try this first with Total Commander go to Windows and find USBtoPC.exe launch it and untick advanced network
Also may be worth uinstalling active sync/WMDC and reinstalling restarting computer.
You must be hard-spl'd so can get the phone into bootloader and try and flash another ROM.
Good luck.

USB to PC connection missing and Wifi problems

I have searched extensively and can't find answers that work for me.
I have tried several of the latest 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 roms on my Wing (which is HardSPL'd) and almost all of them have the same issues:
1) My USB to PC icon is gone in Settings\Connections. Did MS move it somewhere else? I'm having Activesync issues and think this is why, but can't change the "advanced network setting."
2) Wifi... I tap on it to turn it on or off, and more than half the time, nothing happens. It'll either stay on, or stay off. Ideas?
I had some of the same issues with some older 6.5 roms as well. Do I need to update/downgrade some of the individual device drivers or something? I'm at a loss.
Thanks, and sorry if this repeats anyone else's posts.
I am also having similar issues. I HardSPLed my wing and after I did that successfully I decided to update my wing with SIMPLY EVERYTHING 6.5.1 BUILD 23616 so I flashed it on my wing. It's installed fine and is working but now my wing doesn't connect via active sync to my PC (same PC i used to HardSPL my wing and flash this build). The USB cable is connected firmly as it does charge my phone, just fails to connect the phone with the PC via active sync.
I would really appreciate if someone can either provide a fix for this issue on this thread or tell us a way to somehow flash the device with another ROM (from storage card somehow).
Thanks in advance.
Sort of solved...
This is the one I found that works best on my Wing:
Search forums for "Illconcepts Current Projects" (won't let me post a link)
(the 28014 Titanium at the top of the page)
It is flashed from SD card like most are now (nice!).
Occasionally (usually after soft reset) the first time I try to turn on wifi it will fail to start the wifi, but it works after that until next soft reset. Have had no connection issues with ActiveSync.
Big plus of this rom is that it's fast, is lean and leaves lots of program space. I added Office and such, but on the SD card, so I can still run Skyfire (just about every other rom I tried didn't have enough program memory free to consistently run Skyfire after I installed all my standard programs).
Only down side I see (if this is one?) is that it has old PIE, not newer version, and PIE doesn't work properly at all. Only problem this has caused me is making it difficult to download/install java apps easily, as Opera Mini always seems to give me "invoke errors" when I try to download files, and since Skyfire only seems to be detected as a "full" browser, it won't pull up mobile versions of most sites, thus won't get access to the java app links, etc. Would be nice to hear of a solution for this (preferably how to fix Opera Mini's "Opera Invoke Error")
i guess this wil help u all coz it worked for me

all you guys just need to open network cards under connections in settings. just tap the Sdio wlan wirelss adapter and then select name servers and copy the dns and alt dns as the same as in your desktops. Select ok and restart your phone..
it should work just fine...
all the best..
uh...no...
Doesn't have anything to do with DNS settings. DNS settings doesn't affect whether or not the wifi card turns ON or OFF. It affects connections. This is different, dude.
