When using Windows Mobile 6 or later is there a way I can have all notification sounds (and vibration) (like SMS, call, new appointment) to be automatically turned off (or more quiet ) when the mobile devipe is currently connected to my PC (using Active Sync or if necessary any other 3rd Party snyc tool) ?

I tried searching for my question but wasn't sure what to search for.
I have 5 devices that I need to sync to my media center pc. A blackberry pearl, a 4705, an MDA, a dell dj and a pioneer lnno xm radio. I for see an advantage coming to.
The software for each device is installed.
When I connect the blackberry activesync opens. I can connect the MDA and everything is fine but if I connect the 4705 connecting the mda becomes sketchy at best and after 2 or 3 times something is not going to sync usually the mda.
I am using AS 4.5.
I mentioned the MP 3 players because at times when I try to go into one of the windows mobiles after connecting one of the mp 3 players through my computer by clicking mobile device, its anybodys guess what combination of napster and active sync will open.
Sometimes nothing happens. Anybody have any ideas ?
I use ActiveSync 4.5 and have five devices (all Windows Mobile) associated with the same desktop (iPAQ h2210, h4350, HTC Magician, HTC Universal and Ubiquio 501). All will sync flawlessly, provided you take care to actually synchronize only one device at a time, that is, make sure you remove one device so the Active Sync arrows go from green to grey and it is fully disconnected before attempting to connect another device.
The same happens if you are syncing music via Windows Media Players ActiveSync conduit to your mobile devices. Your non-Windows Mobile mp3 players should not be affected by this however.
I also have three Palm devices which sync with the same desktop using HotSync, and assorted mobile phones with their own sync software (Samsung, Nokia etc.) and have not had problems with interactions between them.
Hope that helps!
You also have to remember you should have used different sync names for different devices. If you have the same sync names, that will definitely cause problems.

So I connect my device to my PC via active-sync.
Then using a desktop app, I can select contacts, send sms messages and phone people using my pc headset
You may need to provide more information on both the type of headset you are using, your OS and also what type of phone your are using.
For instance, if you are using a bluetooth headset, and syncing via bluetooth, you may have a bit more to fiddle with than a wired headset to a cradled phone.
So, provide a bit more info.
No I mean the PC headset - so plugged into the line-in/mic jacks. The bluetooth connection is to connect the device to the PC.
Basically I want to make calls from my pc - using my phone as the "line".
This may be the way, I hope:

you can control pdas through pc and some allow you to see and download your sms but I am not sure about phone operation.
When my Cruise is connected with ActiveSync to Windows (XP),
then pop up the Windows user folder
(C-documents and settings-windows username).
When disconnect ActiveSync pop up again...
How can I turn off this?
Maybe if you use group policy editor (not available ox XP home) and disable the autorun feature
Ok guys, here is the scoop:
I just purchased a new laptop with the following relevant specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Integrated Broadcomm Bluetooth Adapter
Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
I am using the standard (non-modified) T-Mobile HD2.
When I try to pair the two, there is an error on the laptop talking about how the "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" driver did not install properly, but others did. I can use some functions of the bluetooth pairing such as going through the file system to the device and transferring files from the phone to the computer. However, Windows Mobile Device Center does not recognize the phone as "connected" even though the option to allow the phone to connect via bluetooth is selected.
Also, I can not go through my phone to "push" a file from the phone to the computer. Actually, any bluetooth related action fails if initiated through the phone.
I have searched for hours on this issue and can not seem to find a resolution that works anywhere on the internet.
Hi, I have Nexus One and want to make calls from it using my PC i..e may be just copy/pasting phone numbers in that app and using headphones to speak/listen.
If this is not fully possible, is there anything similar setup possible ?
Thanks
You could try connecting your phone to the computer via bluetooth, then setting up the phone to use the computer's speakers/headphone as the sound output and the computer's microphone for sound input. On win7 that menu will most likely pop up asking you for you preferences as soon as you connect the phone to the PC's bluetooth. In case the menu doesn't show up, right-click on the speaker icon next to the clock on your task-bar than left-click on playback devices & recording devices. (I'm assuming that you are running win7/vista)
I hope this helps!
As the previous poster had stated you could try a bluetooth connection, but a lot of devices limit the amount of bluetooth services can be used.
An alternative would be to get google voice and activate that with your google account. You can call via your google voice number from your phone or from your pc. If you use google voice on the pc it may pipe it through a relay server though, which will change the number on the receiving end.
