Ok, so with WM6 still in its "testing" phase and a few bugs that just wont seem to go away, I am being promoted at work and it will require me to use my phone as a tool for the job. ie direct push and all. Should i go back to my carriers WM5 release or Stick with WM6 in hopes that they will fix the rumored direct push issues?
i never got a direct pus problem on wm6... I use my mobile for work and i am using mb edition. I think is quite ok... on Faria`s i got some problems with gprs switching on and off all the time.... strange....
I've never used direct push. how do I go about setting it up. I can put together an exchange box if needed

I have experimented with all the WM6 releases, and have not encountered any issues at all with push mail and my Exchange 2003 Server. Within a couple of seconds of a new e-mail reaching my desktop, it hits my phone.
I also have my POP3 account check for messages at 1 hour intervals. No probs there either.
I was one of the unlucky ones who did have a problem with push email on Farias WM6 ROM. It would sync the first time the phone was switched on, but then some time later would randomly stop working even though the GPRS connection was still up and Activesync said it was 'Connected' - only a manual resync would get it going again.
I tried multiple radio ROMS, 2.19, 2.25, 2.47 and 2.61 (hoping it was a radio ROM problem) but to no avail. Interestingly, I never had this particular problem with the MB WM6 rom - but that ROM had other issues, so in the end (as always) I've dropped back to Farias 3.3 ROM which is rock solid in every area.
Don't get me wrong those of you who take offence easily - Farias ROMS are great and I'm not knocking him any way - it's just "one of those things" that's probably quirky to my setup. If when he produces a new version, I'll test again.

Most odd. Like bradsnw I've never had a direct push problem. This includes the more than 50 individual devices I've setup in the past, the 10 or so that I upgrade on a regular basis and mine. As Faria's tester and Junior Chef in Training my poor lil 8125 has seen just about every ROM variant (and mutant) imaginable, but never a DP problem. (And I've created some near bricking ROM's let me tell you!)
One thing I always do however is to not create my initial AS profile with my PC but on my device directly. (This is the only way I can get my task OTA) and I probably hard reset my device on the shoulder of Interstate 95 or a McDonalds parking lot as many times as I do at home.
I've never had an issue with Direct Push/Exchange 2003 while using WM6 either.

I agree - very odd. I've never had push fail before on the multitude of ROMS I've tried - those sort of problems always happened 'to other people' and not me ;^)
I tried all the usual stuff, resets, new partnerships, reloading the same ROM, new radio ROMS, certificates, etc etc etc. But in the end, I had to get the phone working 'for work', so went back to 3.3. Like I said, when Farias next ROM comes out, I'll try it again.
cheers,
Andrew

There's nothing wrong with your push email.
Connected is good, it means that you have a connection with the server and you're up to date. This is how it shows in WM6
When you see "Synchronized Today" with a time, this means that was the last time your device updated with the server for whatever [email protected] tihs point, if you have signal....do a manual sync.
Again...CONNECTED...is good ......... SYNCHRONIZED TODAY...is ok
If your device doesnt synchronize folders at all ....you need to adjust your network connections and get the web to work 1st and then push email.
This isn't faria specific, that's how WM6 works.

You need an exchange account.
I use www.4smartphone.com. It's a paid service that's cheap and I let them deal with the headaches of maintaining a server. The service has been 100% so far, not to try to sell you.
If you have the means and time to set up a box, let me know and I'll help as much as I can.
No problem at all with DP mail. I just give it to the people at IT and they set it up nicely for me. And I have taken it in daily because I keep changing roms!
But I am stopping at Faria's for now

dwny, I appreciate your reply, but I beg to differ. I've been using push mail for a long time now, and I know when it's working or not - I'm not going to bore everybody with pointless detail, but:
I had a working internet connection via GPRS - I could surf using Pocket IE.
It would "automatically" sync my folders via GPRS when I turned the phone on. It would then stop working later.
Manually syncing is not push email? I had set the schedule settings to 'as items arrive' - why would I sync manually?
And as I said previously, I did not get the problem with the MB WM6 rom, nor the PDAviet 3 or 4 and I do not get the problem with Farias 3.3. Mail arrives automatically via GPRS (usually a a few seconds before it hits my desktop outlook) just fine in every ROM I've tried except Faria's latest. But I'll repeat - I'm not in any way 'blaming' Faria. It's just one of those things.

Again...this is how it works in WM6
When your device says "Connected" ... you are up to date.
While there..press Menu > Status and it will tell you when your device last synchronized.
WM5 shows "last synchronized" when up to date
WM6 shows "last synchronized" when not up to date.
What I experienced:
When I get "last synchronized" ... I also don't have internet and everything was working. I go to connections and change the name of the connection and all is well. Try this & see if it works for you.....
dwny, you ARE persistant!
"Again...this is how it works in WM6"
But it *wasn't* working!
I could tell it was not sychronizing because I would get 25 emails arriving in my Outlook inbox over period of an hour, and none of them arrived on my PDA! If I simply manually synced, they would all coming flooding in.
But let's not dwell on this anymore - I'm back on 3.3 now. If I find some time, I'll do a fresh download of the ROM and try again.
thanks for you time,
Andrew

First, you get too damn much email. 25/hour? What are you, the president?
Seriously though, something has to be running to be able to get those push notifications. With all the tweaking people do I'm not surprised that things end up breaking. My suggestions are these:
1) Turn off X Button or whatever you are currently using to close rather than hide applications. WM5 and 6 were never designed for the apps to be closed every time. Many have background features that they depend on -- like poutlook. Why do you think it's in your \windows\startup folder.
2) It is *still* in your \windows\startup folder right?
Those are your hints -- all I know is that push worked fine for me as long as I left something there to push to.

President? - lol... I wish...
I get automated warnings and messages from databases and servers. And when things aren't running well, I get LOTS of emails.
Yep, poutlook was in my startup....
Anyway, after seeing all these success stories, I downloaded the ROM again (didn't trust the last download) and reflashed. Followed exactly the same procedure as normal (I flash ROMS regularly, so literally have my set routine) and guess what?
Works fine - 'straight out of the box'. I did nothing different to every other flash I've ever done....
Andrew
P.S. I now have an 'officially recognised' issue with the 2.61 radio ROM. But at least I'm back in the fold...
i am running the mun rom on tmobile usa and have no problems with exhange mail...push is working 100%
FYI - i am using the 2.61.11 radio rom

Glad to see a fresh install worked for you.
Be careful with radio 2.61.11, it's known to cause dialpad issues and missed calls with the newer roms.
Hi all,
I am tearing my hair out with a strange problem atm: every time I sync with Activesync, it sets my time and date to over one month ago (10th Feb today).
I have checked regional settings and time/date on both PC and PDA, but they are both fine (set to UK GMT).
I can ask Activesync not to sync the time/date, but then the calendar syncronisation does not work.
I have re-installed Activesync, but not effect....so I am at a loss.
I am tempted to re-flash with WM5, but was wondering if anyone had seen a similar problem before I do.
HTC WIzard
Faria's WM6
Activesync 4.5
Thanks.
I had the exact same problem.
When syncing to pc my wizard clock changed to 11th feb every time!
I've got a CID locked G4 so I used the wizard love rom as a base rom before using the shelltool to install faria_wm6.
Funnily enough, when going back to the wizard love rom the initial date was 11th feb.
Therefore, the conclusion I've drawn is that there's some sort of incompatibility with the wizard love and the faria_wm6 rom.
I've since went back to the wizard love rom then shelltooled Most Beautiful Edition instead and it seems to work fine!
I have the same issue, but only with Fario ROM.
Using mUn ROM and no problem.
Hopefully might help someone work out what is going on!

Try turning off Network Time in Phone applet maybe..
Did changing the network Time setting work?
Don't want to spend another 3 hours re-flashing my phone if there is no need
May be a bug in Faria's ROM... who knows...
I have a similar, but different problem.
I have the DST patches installed on both my WinXP system and my Wizard (Orwell-custom based).
Synchronization works, but it's sets the clock of the Wizard 1 hour back.
I'm in GMT-8, we are already DST, but It's like the PC knows about it and the PDA is still in Winter Time :-(
Don't know if this is related with the bug you see in Faria's ROM or different.

Mine went to 16 november 2006 every now and then. I notice this first when the Bluetooth icon disappears from the today screen, Then I recharge and powercycle the MDA and then the date is 16 nov 2006 - which obviously causes AS to cause trouble. I guess this is indeed something related to Faria's rom since my AKU3.3.0.0 -WM5 has this. I will move to WM6 soon and hope this does not appear anymore - but if it does I hope it is resolved/ overtaken by a new cook.
Hi everyone, this year in Australia we have had changes of DST dates. A week ago mobile updated itself on the wrong date so I installed the Microsoft fix for this. Today is the correct date for DST changeover and while installing the fix corrected the earlier problem, today my phone clock has not updated itself (whereas my Windows XP desktop has). I am wondering if any other Aussies have had this problem?
My XDA IIs updated last week...but kept reverting back when I sync'd with Vista...
All fixed now though!
I just went into the control panel and changed the timezone away from Sydney and back to Sydney and now the time has corrected itself. It may be an issue with my pre-final 6.1 rom as I have had other problems with control panels not working correctly before. No worries all!

I had this issue too, except when syncing with XP the clock on the phone would change back to the wrong time (after I'd set it to the correct time manually). Installing the fix found at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx fixes the problem though. If you haven't installed it I would recommend it if you rely on your phone's clock (as I do)...
How to stop autosync update of TP clock?
Hi all,
Great resource here. well done
I have been lurking around here for a few weeks and used many of the tweaks/edits which I thank you all for making available. Many hours of tweaking fun to be had..
My issue is small but increasingly annoying, when I sync my HTC Touch Pro to winxp netbook (eeepc901) somehow it adjusts the clock on the TP forward only one hour. (was like this out of the box before anything else I did to it)
I can change the time back after it has synchronised initially and then re-sync from the desktop and it wont replicate it again.
However, when i change the time back and unplug/un cradle then reconnect/sync again it will adjust +1 hrs again.
It doesn't do this on a straight USB data connection.
So I am thinking sync program issue right?
My eeepc and TP both have the same time zones set to Brisbane +10 and my bios is showing the same time. I have disabled the winXP time autoupdate service thinking that might have something to do with it in services.msc to no avail. On the TP I have tried both the settings for timezone update etc.
i have had a poke around in both active sync 4.5 and any TP settings/programs that I can think of with no effect. This has been the only real issue I have had so far, other than that after a few days getting use to this device I am very happy with it
Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks
Bump!
patiently waiting
Are there settings in either active sync or on the pc or the phone where i can manage the clock update?
I noticed on the phone sync settings i have to uncheck "advanced radio button" to make it detectable on the deksktop.
yeah, it is something annoying with brisbane timezone. there are a few threads here with it. if you search trhough my post, you may find an answer

Ah that be the state gov' not allowing DST right..they say it will make the curtains fade and the cows come in too early for milking, aye but! lol j/k
It seems to only happen on the netbook (xphome sp3) on Sydlney, Tokyo, or even NY time zones, I tried +8 +9 +11 etc zones instead of +10.
I did notice on technet (I think) there was a bunch of timezone updates for windows for some countries recently but no mention of anything for Aus EST at all.. However, on the desktop pc (vista) i cant replicate the issue at all.
Anyway, i will search your posts and thanks so much for the reply, was getting a bit lonely here for a while
Okay, searched and read.

Does anyone else have the problem of their Exchange/ActiveSync profile just randomly disappearing? It's happened 4 times now. Driving me crazy. Any advise? I can set it down and pick it up 15 minutes later and the profile is gone!
I'm running a stock/non-rooted GT6800 w/ an AT&T SIM. My exchange server is 2010. Everything works perfectly when the profile is there.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Honestly I wouldn't care, but most of my contacts are in Exchange and when I lose the profile, I have to re-enter some of the contact info in the phone that exchange doesn't save (Ringtone, etc.)
-TheFixer
Same happens to me. I thought I've done something wrong. But obviously it was not me but Samsung...
Don't know how to solve it other than using another Exchange app or wait until Q3 for the ICS update...
I'm running Tweaked Stock ROM V3 and I only sync mail, no contacts or calender and I've never lost any info or had any trouble? I'm connected to SBS2003.
Having the same issue. I've had my Tab 10 days now and during that time my activesync account has disappeared 3 times now. Have no idea yet what's causing it to happen.
I ended up just using the Touchdown app instead of the built in exchange client.

Still happening here. I am still on 3.2. I wonder if fixed on 4.0?
going to ICS fixed that problem for me

I have not had the problem going since going to ICS with exchange. you have lots of choices on which ROM version to install. the instructions on this site are excellent and should be followed to eliminate problems when you upgrade. hope all goes well.
Same issue with mine.
Mine is rooted with stock rom (3.2).
My exchange account stops working after around 2-3 weeks. It tells me it is something to do with a security certificate.
I then have to remove it and re-enter everything again to get it back
Kind of same issue for me under ICS. It sometimes loses all the Exchange information (Contacts, emails, etc...) and then redownloads everything
Needless to say it is costly in battery life and bandwidth use
That seriously pisses me off, since I had similar problems with my Samsung original Tab 7 !!!! Unbelievable they haven't improved since
Only way onmy Tab for me to ahve something working decently was imply to switch to CM...
