Active Sync Nightmare!

I am having real problems with Microsoft’s Active Sync 3.8.
Both on my laptop at home and on my pc at work.
I have lost count the number of times it fails to recognise the partnership and I have to recreate it! When it does, if forgets which PC the partnership was on and won’t let me connect to both!
Now it won’t sync the calendar for some reason!
I have tried to uninstall it and re-install wit no joy. I have tried Microsoft :evil: I have tried their newsgroups :roll:
I am wary about trying 4.1 ?
The only alternatives seem to rely on a version of AS to start with, but are there any other programmes, that don't rely on active sync and that work better?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm running 4.1 very sucessfully. Granted I've got a Himalaya, not a Magician.
Why not give 4.1 a try ... see if it works for you. If it doesn't, you can always uninstall and try something else.
I too would love to see something besides MS AS available - but haven't found anything thus far

So very sadly active sync 4.1 has not solved the problem!
Now i don't know which way to turn.
1.Could it be a problem with my PC at work or Laptop at home, if so do rebuild them both?
2.Could it be problem with active sync (version), therefore I don't know who to contact at Microsoft!
3.Could it be a problem witht he device its self, therefore is it HTC I contact, again!
A final though is to return this back to T-Mobile, ha ha!

so3,
did you start off using the Magician with ActiveSync 3.8? Maybe trying an older version would work:

Active Sync not allowing calendar synchronization

Please help.
I have an XDA2i and I'm running Active Sync 4.2.0. When I try to sync, everything works fine, except I cannot select calander as a sync option with my XDA. Where I would normally go into options and check the box for calendar, there is no check box.
This is really starting to do my nut in as I've tried creating a new profile but the problem follows the profile. Any suggestions would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you got a default calendar set-up in outlook?

Yes...it used to work. It suddenly stopped allowing any synchronization, that's when I created a new profile for the XDA2i and updated to 4.2 but it will now not synchronize Calendar. It will sync the Contacts & tasks but the most important thing for my work is the Calendar.
Thanks

Calander problem and other queries
Hi I have had an xda2i in the past and it all worked fine with the Calander. This week my newer model xdamini S broke down so I turned to the replacment xda2i i had been sent when the other one packed up and I just cant get it to recognise the calander. Its just not in the list. As you say contacts etc is there but Calander is not. The strange thing is when setting up connection you can choose to sync with calander, contacts etc which I select only to find that once the sync occurs Calander is just not in the list. Can anyone you had anyone help solving this?? Im using outlook 2003. Also the xda2i im using has not got the latest drivers I have looked for them on the 02 site but they dont seem to be their anymore. Finally, what does the radio version do anyway? Help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Right then....
...The only workaround I have managed to find is simple...
1) Remove the ActiveSync software and all pairings
2) Hard Reset the XDA2i (yes, that means everything is lost is nothing has sync'd)
3) Re-install ActiveSync and recreate the partnership again.
It seems drastic, but since doing that the XDA2i now functions perfectly. Hope this helps some people (I'm reluctant to try anything like this on my new Mini S cos I can't get it to partner up at all..but that's another thread )

[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!

sync problem with outlook

I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
