Activesync issues... never had issues before! :( - General Questions and Answers

Hello! I had sUC running on my fresh installed ROM, and now I'm facing never-seen-before issues. I mean, I cannot connect my PPC in activesync (the computer simply doesn't recognize the phone) while I can do that in USB Storage mode. Moreover, I can't open the Activesync program anymore on my PPC (it tries to open up but it immediately shuts down) and I can't even synch contacts, sms's and appointments via Microsoft MyPhone, as this is reporting an Exchange Server connection as active, though I never set it! Was it maybe some of sUC regentries? How can I undo that? I'm on a WM6.5 Italian ROM for Diamond, and I'd really like to have my contacts back!

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?

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:

ActiveSync & Outlook 2003: No new Emails or Contacts

I have a strange problem with my Prophet and Outlook 2003:
whenever my Prophet ist connected (USB) with my Desktop PC ActiveSync blocks some Outlook buttons: I can't reply to emails, can't forward them or even write new mails. It's not possible to change anything in the calendar or in the contacts. As soon as I pull out my USB-cable and restart Outlook again everything works fine until I reconnect it.
Furthermore Activesync only transfers changes from the desktop to the Prophet, not the other way round. Reinstalling Outlook and Activesync didn't change anything. I already installed Activesync 4.5 beta, but it still remains the same.
The Problem didn't occur right form the first Installation. After a few weeks it just was there.
Did anybody here already have the same problem and know a solution?
Thanks a lot

PS: I already tried the search, but I couldn't find anything useful for my problem.
Really nobody else with the same problem?
That makes me feel like I'm really special.

Problem with syncing (but not exploring?!!)

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Trion running WM6 (standard O2 release), and Windows XP with Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Rom Version: 3.54.206.1
ROM date: 06/25/07
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
I've been synching my data for months now without any issue, but something just stopped working today?
When I plug it in via USB I get an error message saying that 'Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Please reconnect and try again, etc.'.
I can explore the contents of my device, but not synchronize, and a third party app will even synch, but nothing from Outlook, and quite a lot of the options in ActiveSync are greyed out (though I can still explore via ActiveSync).
When I look at the ActiveSync application on my phone, it looks as if it's never been set up to Sync, and tells me that I need to install ActiveSync on my PC.
I have done a repair install of Activesync 4.5, I've rebooted the PC, I've switched the phone off and on again (fully). Nothing changes. I have (as advised) reconnected several times.
I've not knowingly done anything to either of them in the last few days, which was when it last worked.
I couldn't find anything on the forum on this topic, but if you can refer me to previous issues like this then I'll go have a look.
Thanks,
Joe
fixed!
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I deleted the sync partnership on the PC and created a new one, and it worked after that!
There was an initial problem where it refused to sync again, but since a soft reset it's all been going fine.
I'll keep an eye on it still as I'm a little suspicious, and I don't know what caused the problem!

ActiveSync Attachments

Can someone please help me out. I'm using rDosti V11. Fantastic ROM, love it. However, one thing I can't work around is that whenever I'm syncing all my email with Outlook, it will suddenly stop somewhere whilst syncing the attachments. Connected through USB. Given, I'm syncing almost 150 email in full HTML with attachments (some of them) to SD Card, I can't understand why this is happening. And it syncs slow also. I re-installed ActiveSync, but that didn't help. Didn't have this issue on Tomal's ROM or the Original i-mate ROM. That's all I've tested.
No problems when syncing to my JAM (Magician) running WM2003 SE. The worst thing is, I have to restart my mobile to resync, coz it still thinks it's connected to PC. Even when I tap disconnect from the tray, it just doesn't know what to do. So I soft reset, re-sync and sometimes it tells me, "there's been a change in the database, do you want to resync all your items." Then I've got to tap YES to continue, and back at square one. Sucks. I don't want my Uni to be useless.
I've also tried reducing the amount of email to sync. No luck.
Please advise.

ActiveSync-intermittent

ActiveSync - intermittent problem with "retrieving settings"​
I have this problem now on my Touch Pro. I have also had it on my Kaiser. This is an intermittent problem where - occasionally and unpredictably - when I connect my phone to my pc, I get an error when the pc attempts to "retrieve settings" from my pocket pc. It fails to do so, and then only allows me to access files on the PPC, no syncing possible after I go through a setup screen.
The fix for this is simple but time consuming: On the PPC I do menu -> options and then delete the device (pairing) there. On the PC, I remove Activesync and reinstall it. When both of these are completed, I reconnect everything up, go through the setup screens and all is well. Until it happend again.
I am using AS 4.5 on a PC with XP. My PPC uses 6.1 (The Kaiser was 6.0). I will also add that I have LOTS to sync in outlook:
400 contacts
7000 Agenda entries
100 Todos
20 notes
I have - actually over the last 2 years! - searched for a solution, I have searched these pages, googled, etc, etc. I see lots of people have more permanent problems with activesync connectivity, but my problem is different: I could be fine for about a month and then have a problem for no apparent reason.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know what happens when the activesync program on the pc says "retrieving settings"? Is it looking in the PPC registry or at a file used for activesyncing (e.g \pim.vol - mine is over 19MB)?
I am happy to go poking around in either devices registry, and will look at all suggestions.
I would
uninstall activesync
and go to regedit and remove everything related to activesync
reinstall it sync everything
hardreset the pda
and sync it again so it get all data from outlook that would
fix the pim being that big

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, in the past I have also manually deleted the pim file - without sucess.
I would guess the problem is down to the volume of data I'm syncing and that something is just getting confused occasionally. If this is the pim file then the only solution is my own rather brutal one. But maybe its just a control file or registry setting gone bad - any ideas?
I have effectively done a hard reset with my move to a touch pro and, in any case, don't want to spend days reinstalling everything !
Oh, and some final thoughts:
o This happened more often on the Kaiser - possibly due to its much slower USB speeds?
o Every time it happens I loose all my speed dials in my phone- aaarrrggghh!
Anyone have "insider knowledge" of what's going on?
