ActiveSync stopped working!

Case data:
- Stock and new HTC Touch Pro, fw 1.90.401.1.
- I think this has started somewhere around after I played with Advanced Configuration for Diamond (read below).
- I also tried to change everything back to normal (in the tool) but it didn't fix anything.
- I didn't touch anything that can be considered related to the case except maybe the Comm Manager modes that A.C.f.D. has (and tried the extra buttons) ...I did some changes but A.C.f.D. seems very buggy in that area and now I am back to what I think was the default.
- Internet Sharing is disconnected.
- When I set USB to PC to go to disk drive mode, it works.
- When I set USB to PC to DISABLE advanced network functionality, WORKS (don't want to stay like that, since the "good mode" worked fine).
- When I set "ask about connection type" DOESN'T ASK (anymore)!
- When USB to PC is in advanced network functionality, nothing happens. ActiveSync doesn't start and WM Device Center doesn't detect anything. I think something very briefly flashes in my Vista notification area (possibly some USB detection that goes on and off?).
...this (and the ask connection type above) is my problem. It worked fine before.
- Bluetooth ActiveSync works.
- WiFi works ok and 3G is enabled.
I have made plenty of soft resets (and PC reboots), I want to try to avoid hard reset if possible.
Any ideas?
edit: Noticed that in device manager, when I link with the "problem" mode that doesn't work, I get "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" in my network adapters. Is this normal? I think this only shows when Internet Sharing is enabled in WM... maybe it is stuck in this mode somehow?

Forget it!
The last edit above, made me think.
So I went to Internet Sharing, verified that it was disconnected, clicked connect.
It briefly popped that I should check my USB connection (aha) but then connected anyway!
So I clicked again to disconnect and this eliminated the network adapter mentioned above (in my Vista) and returned to the (normal it seems) "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and ActiveSync kicked in!

I think this thread should go to the issues thread?

Internet sharing can wreck advanced network functionality
I had the same problem: first I only noticed the usb popup not popping up, then of course activesync also didn't connect. Every other thread advises to turn advanced network functionality off, which fixes activesync, but the usb popup selector doesn't come back, and I think this way the system reverts to some compatibility mode. I didn't like this.
I kept searching for the phrase "advanced network functionality stopped working", which finally brought your message, with the solution, thank you for taking the time to post both the problem and the solution.
PS: Now I posted the keywords which came to my mind, hopefully helping to find this solution easier.

Thanks so much bro for that... It was a pain trying to find a solution. But once again search comes out the solution.!

Hm, I had the issue where ActiveSync completely quit. I could use internet sharing or disk drive functions and my Raphael would charge, but the USB connection would not come up and ActiveSync would not connect. My contacts and appointments disappeared from my phone.
I was able to solve the issue by uninstalling a recent cab I had added, which merely served to replace my Bluetooth taskbar icons. No idea why this cab caused such awful behavior, but I'm glad to have avoided a hard reset.

[Q] WP7 Wireless Sync - Phone sends out ssdp ping, but doesn't trigger anything?

Phone: Samsung Omnia 7
OS: Windows 7 SP1
Sync through USB: fast and flawless
Phone connected through AC charger and wireless sync was setup without problem with the zune desktop software.
I am using zunedevices.exe tool to sniff for pings and stuff.
Actually, the phone appears as a network location under "other devices" with the name WindowsPhone:nameIgaveit but it doesn't appear to install any wireless driver (that should install, as far as successful syncs i have been reading about here)
Why do i want this so bad? because zune (music+video app) play counts does not update my zune card on zune.net. And I read somewhere that the device sends the playcounts when its plugged in AC and syncing wirelessly.
Already spent a good chunk of my weekend on this. Some help please?

I had a problem where plays on the device wouldn't have an affect on the play count in my local zune database or the zune social. It didn't work for a while, it started working, I hard reset and it stopped working again.
Anyway, I eventually used the Zune Media Collection Reset Tool and it has worked great since then. It will wipe out your current local playcounts though.

i tried what you suggested but it still doesn't work.
like i said, my phone registers as a upnp device, my computer just doesn't install the drivers for it. which is weird because in the same network but with my laptop, it does and it syncs wirelessly for me. :-s
EDIT: As my suspicion that my problem is caused by a conflict with another program/service grows, i went ahead and re-installed my OS. (i had so many installed programs, it's easier to just wipe completely as i didn't mind really) it works now! although i must say, play counts still does not move forward if i play through the music+video hub in the phone. hmmmmnn...

[Q] Shield cant find PC

I am thing I missed something but my Shield cant find my pc. Geforce experience says everything is good but the wifi, and says I need wireless a/g router or a wireless n router is needed, I have a wireless n access point but no router.
Here is what Geforce experience says about my pc.

If more specific PC specs are needed please tell me.

Is your PC on wireless, or do you have it wired to the network? Also, from 1wayjonny:
Please check your advanced wireless router settings and check if IGMP snooping is enabled.
If so try to disable IGMP snoop or any jitter correction like WMM as well.
Hope this helps, it took hours to figure out the router setting.

No my PC is not on wireless, it is connected to a gigabit Switch. I am not sure if that switch goes to the WiFi AP or if it goes to another switch then the WiFi AP.
I already looked for IGMP snooping and did not see anything close to that.

And you've checked that your SHIELD has taken the update (you'd know, it requires a reboot like any OTA)

It might be related to my problem, but check these:
1. Are the IP of your shield and PC on the same network, only last number is different? (ex. 192.168.1.*) If so then they are on the same "router".
2. You are already on the beta drivers, make sure you have the newest Shield firmware like agrabren mentioned.
3. Reboot everything.
4. In Geforce experience, have you had it scan for games? This is a must and must be done first.
5. Now go to Preferences and click on the Streaming Tab. Is "Allow..." checked? If so, click the reset button.
6. Try going to PC Play on your shield and hopefully it will see your PC.

my shield matches the above.

Rebooting is always the magic elixir
My problem was my shield could see my PC but not acknowledge the connection. I fixed it by uninstalling Geforce Experience and reinstalling it (scanning for games, clicking reset under streaming, then trying it). Try uninstalling GE (not the drivers), rebooting, reinstalling and giving it a go.

Define everything please.
a list of everything (I can currently think of) on my LAN
1 24 port gigabit switch (stuck at 100Mbps)
1 5 port gigabit switch
1 DSL Modem
1 Printer
1 WiFi AP
4 Servers (lan only)
? WiFi Devices
2+ Desktop PCs
1 FXO/FXS voip adapter
1 2xFXS voip adapter
There is probably more I have forgotten.
Some of those things have a good chance of having problems after rebooting.

I was thinking of just the PC and the Shield, but looking at the list of things on your network I'm thinking the PC might not be the problem. There might be something in the AP or the two switches that is preventing the Shield from seeing it. You might try getting some Android network tools (ping and such) to test if the shield can see the PC's IP. I haven't done network troubleshooting with Android so I can't recommend any good methods, but you could probably find some forums on XDA that would help.
I'd try the reinstall of Geforce Experience first just to make sure it's not that.

ping says that both the shield and pc can see each other. reinstalling GFE

I had to uninstall both my graphics driver and GFE client and reinstall them to get mine working...
And dang, that's a heck of a setup.
If you search for mDNS or Bonjour tools, they have a discovery tool that should help you find your GFE PC. That's how SHIELD does it.

I have reinstalled GFE, Drivers, and have restarted both my pc and shield no diffference. Shield says "No available GeForce GTX PCs Found"

Hi
I have this running on a DAP-1525 access point so its OK that it is not the router.
I saw you looked for the IGMP, and that sucker was my exact issue after hours. The funny thing is it was default while the router did not have this default from factory.
Would you mind sharing what AP model you have?

sure my access point is a trendnet TEW-638APB. Thought I posted that, but it looks like i did not.

I'm fully stumped. At work, I have the following setup (which is a closer match to your setup than my home setup)
1x NetGear Gigabit Switch
1x NetGear N900 Wireless Router in AP mode (only cable is from switch to internet port)
2x PCs connected to Gigabit Switch
The discovery traffic is mDNS (also known as Bonjour) so if anything is configured to filter that out, that'll be a problem. It's also considered a broadcast packet, so you may be able to research Bonjour or mDNS and your wireless AP or other equipment... If you have another computer on the network, there are tools for mDNS discovery, you could use those to see if the PC is appearing (but I don't remember it's discovery name).
Wish I could be more help, but not really my area. I'm an Android guy. You can also try grabbing a logcat on your device, it may say something when you go into the TegraZone dashboard.

will try logcat, and I did try using mdnsscarn from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdnstools/?source=navbar and windows that spits out "Port 47989 is open on 192.168.0.76"

That sounds like the port... But there should be a service name with it from mDNS...

Can I get the exact name for that mdns service, I can't find anything close to dns or mdns running on my computer.
actully I can find something but only dnscache.

My only other suggestions for debugging is make sure the nvStreaming service is running. If you start the Task Manager (right click on start bar) then look for NVSTREAMER.EXE. If it's not running that's the main problem. There's a service for it (Admin tools/services) that I think GFE installs. If it's there and not running then try starting it. If it's not there at all then I guess reinstall GFE again.
Another thing I can think to try is turn off windows firewall (or any that you are using) in the Control Panel.
The last thing is to isolate your setup to just the Shield, wireless AP, and PC. Plug the AP (LAN port) directly into the PC so it's just serving the Shield wirelessly and the PC wired. If the AP is just a simple WAN port (no LAN) then see if you can set it up as a bridge (a pain) or better yet, try another AP. Hopefully you can isolate the problem.

It is a general error with the shield and geforce experiences, i had the same issue and the only way that i get it fixed it, it was deleted the pc on my shield and restard the shield, then activate beta versions on nvidia xperiences and update the application, then restart the pc and add the computer again and issue solved, i hope this help you to solve the error

Well I can click that now but no matter what I cannot stream it says its launching the game and it does on my computer but it flashes right back to launching game screen on shield

Mine was doing something similar and i was just happening to be modifying my router at the same time. I noticed a slight discrepancy in what GFE had my pc named as, and what it was actually named. Deleted my shield from GFE, Renamed my pc, rebooted my pc, readded my shield and everything worked fine

[Bug Report ] MX Player Pro + Nvidia Shield TV Pro + USB pendrive

hello, I apologize if there is already a thread, but I could not find it. I have an Nvidia Shield TV Pro; MX Player Pro automatically disconnects the external USB stick, not allowing me to see the files inside. other media players work fine

Same problem here. Came to this forum looking for a solution. Since NVIDIA upgraded our Android to v11, MX Player Pro is broken. I want to die. It is my main app for watching videos from an external USB disk. Some plans on updating the app?

Same problem on different boxes (Amiko A5/Android 7 - Yoka BB2/AndroidTV 9)...
...could be a permissions problem ?

I suppose the problem is related with permissions in any way. However, in the NVIDIA Shield TV with Android v9 the app worked perfectly. Something has changed in the permissions system so a lot of apps stopped working until they have been updated. I was wondering if there is any update for MX Player Pro on the near future.

We've just tested mpv-android and NOVA (both of which supports hw-acceleration like MX) on same boxes and none of them suffer of this issue.

Came here with the same problem. Just got my Nvidia Shield TV Pro a few days ago, and only just started looking for a solution to this issue. That is, I go to browse my USB harddrive then *bam* magically at that very moment, it gets disconnected. This can also be seen in the NVidia settings > Storage before and after going into the MXP file list. Happens every time. I reconnect my drive, gets recognised by Android, then back into MXP and it gets disconnected again.
The only info I can find related to this so far, is the issue where hard drives disconnect when the Shield goes to sleep. But that's a different issue which I believe has been fixed recently by Nvidia anyway.

Same!

I found a generalised reference to this issue at :
Nvidia added a buggy Android 11 update to its Shield TV lineup
Nvidia updates Shield TV lineup with buggy Android 11
www.theverge.com
which links to an NVidia FAQ about this sort of issue :
NVIDIA Support
nvidia.custhelp.com
That is to say, that when giving permission "Allow only while using the app", it gets treated the same as "Do not allow". Including "X-plore File Manager", which I'm pretty happy with, though it struggles with large Zip and WinRAR files.
And here I reach a dead end, because I set mine to "Always allow". I did some poking around and interestingly, VLC Media works fine despite (browsing, playing, building icons) having the permission set to "Do not allow"! That's interesting (if not concerning actually). And yet with MXP, my permissions were fine and it doesn't work. Go figure. It does seem to be something with Android 11 but Android TV is a little closed-up and not sure what else I can try. VLC is "fine" - it's not a bad app - but it's just not scratching the itch like MXP does.
