Thanks, but I did that and no luck. [email protected]#$%
any other idea?
TENXXX.

Hard reset always helps. Sometimes it's a bad micro SD card, I learned this the hard way.

I had all sorts of problem with Activesync before. Have since upgraded my laptop to Vista and instead of ActiveSync it has Windows Mobile Device Centre. No problem ever since.

I cleared my drive C (Laptop) installed Activesync and problem solved Activesync is working 100%.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Bizarre ActiveSync Error

I have a Siemens SX66 from Cingular running Mobile 2003 and a laptop running XP SP2, Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync 3.8 and I can't get them to sync. The PC's ActiveSync shows the "Looking for Changes" message and then it shows a quick "Syncronization Error" message and then it goes to "Not Connected". I have been diagnosing this for several weeks with no solution in sight. I have an old IPAQ that syncs just fine with this PC. I have taken the SX66 to two other PC's, both with fresh images and new installs of ActiveSync and get the same thing. I have hard reset the handheld and soft reset it several times. I have switched from the cradle to a direct cable so I could try the serial port. I have checked all of my pst files with scanpst to resolve any errors that existed. It seems a few other people have had an issue that was similar and it seems to have magically resolved itself but mine just keeps hanging around. :evil:
I'm just wondering, does it sync okay via wifi? Have you installed any applications that adds to the sync process? Have you tried USB sync from a fresh Hard reset? And last, have you tries older/newer ROM or radio ROM (read wiki for how-to)?
My unit was an SOB when I first got it. Trial and error fixed it and it didn't happen in less than a week.
Have you tried deleting the partnership & then creating a new one?
I have tried to hard reset it several times. I've tried to start the whole process before and after I reloaded saved data to see if my local data was corrupt. I've deleted the partnership. I've uninstalled ActiveSync and reinstalled. I've tried to sync via USB, serial, bluetooth, and infrared. I've also tried the outlook repair tools (inside outlook and the pst report tool outside of it) on the PC. I've even taken it to a totally different PC with a fresh local version of Outlook. Siemens tried to tell me that its because I'm using Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 3.8 doesn't work with that but that isn't true according to Microsoft's web site. I can't get ActiveSync to work so I can't install any software on it or upgrade/downgrade the ROM. I am running the latest and greatest ROM on the device.
Interestingly, if I set up the partnership as a guest partnership, I can explore the device just fine from my PC so I know that ActiveSync has a good link established.
To me, it looks like the whole ActiveSync chain gets connected and then it tries to read from Outlook on the PC and on the handheld. One or the other of those two things or the exchange of change information down the ActiveSync pipe is what breaks things but there are no diagnostics anywhere to tell me why or what to do about it.
Try to go into AS --> Options and untick all the option in the main box. That will will cause it not to sync with oulook. Maybe there is something in oulook that is keeping it from syncing.
Good suggestion but I've tried that (I just tried it again with a new partnership on a new PC to be sure). It doesn't give me the "Looking for Changes" message but it gives me the "Synchronization Error" message and then goes to "Not Connected". Keep the suggestions coming as something has to make this work.
You have just about tried to sync at the lowest basic level. It the above doesn't work, barrow another sync cable or take the unit to a shop and have them try to sync it with there cable and pc. You have figure out the problem
1. The USB cable/pins
2. The unit itself
3. Your PC or lappy (i doubt it though)
4. while you are there, ask them to test out activesync via wifi if they can
Delete AC from your PC- Reboot - Install AC on your PC, sync will most likely work again.
Had the same problem my self.
Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried that several times already. In fact, I have started from a fresh image on a different PC and get the same issue. Is there a way to do the same thing on the handheld without ActiveSync working? I'd like to remove its ActiveSync and freshen it but I don't know how I'd get a new copy installed since it won't sync.
Don't know how to just Install AC on your BA.
I Would try to Reflash the device with
1) The same Rom -> If it diddn't help
2) A Different Rom
I finally got it to work although I can't believe the solution. If you've gotten this far in the thread I hope that you have an SD card in the phone because that was the whole problem for me. I don't know how it works but if I have my SD card inserted when I connect the phone to the PC, it will error out every time. If I don't have the card in when I connect, it works just fine. Obviously, this appears to be a problem for Siemens to resolve but simply removing the card (as foolish as that sounds) may get you through this issue. Thanks for the assists and I hope that this solution helps someone.

Active sync hang detecting the phone after flash(but not on new computers!) HELP!

HI! After I flashed my TyTN second time, Active Sync on my home computer and my work computer detect the phone and freeze with "Retrieving settings" dialog.... I thought it has something to do with the phone, but on any other computer that I not synced before , my laptop or new xp and vista instalations on other partition on my home computer(same computer and same cable, and same software installed!) it sync perfectly.
I tryied to find any residual registry or files to delete (i delete the profiles in document and settings) but can't find anything to solve this. I tryied reinstalling Active Sync 4.5 but donst help either.
Active Sync troubleshooting dont solve anything.
Someone know a workarround o what files can be creathing this ?
What do Active Sync while displaying "Retrieve settings" ?
Go into Start>settings>connections>usb to pc
untick the box...then try.
Thanks but dosn't help. Cannot enter that option, and I can sync on others pcs and other o.s. (in another patition) on the same computer without changing anything on the pocketpc.
I googled and found lots of peobple with the same trouble and no one find any solution.
PS: I dont have any firewall and tested switching off all networks interfaces. I can ping the pocktpc assigned ip perfectly.

[Solved (quite)] Trouble syncing my PPC with ActiveSync over Bluetooth

Hi everyone!
I have already posted this thread on the Modaco forum but I'm still getting no answer. I'm posting it here. I know there are a few threads about ActiveSync problems but none of them solves my problem!
I'm using an Orange SPV M650 (French branded HTC P3300) for a few monthes now, and I've been successfully syncing it with ActiveSync over Bluetooth from the beginning. At this time, I had created a BT COM port with the Windows Bluetooth stack, configured ActiveSync v4.5 to authorize connections through that port ; then paired my PDAPhone to the computer and checked the "ActiveSync" option that was available in the services listing. I was then able to sync using the ActiveSync application on my PPC.
A few days ago I deleted the USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop from the "Device manager", it's been installed back successfully on the next reboot BUT now I can't synchronize. The "ActiveSync" service no longer appears in the services list of my computer from the device's BT configuration tool. I only have "Serial port" showing.
Reinstalled ActiveSync twice, didn't changed anything.
What should I do?
Thank you!
(here are a few screenshots, French language used)
Up! Nobody's an idea?
i can only suggest something i do when i have similar problems:
1. uninstall everything involved
2. manually clean up all involved registry keys
sometimes, the remainders of not completely uninstalled programs can cause problems if you install them again.
i never ran into your specific problem, but trying this will at least make you forget your synch problem for the 60mins you are busy.
...and sometimes, above procedure even helps!
I had to reinstall from scratch Windows XP for other reasons and the thing is still not working! I really don't understand, I'm wondering if I'm not doing something wrong... How should I do?
Hey..
Hey found this manual for you..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/activesync+via+bluetooth?t=anon
Thank you. It's exactly that way that I'm trying! The problem is at step 12, the only service available on my paired computer is a "Serial port", not ActiveSync. I double checked that ActiveSync was properly configured on the correct serial port and it is...
i had this problem with XP, i sorted it out, but cant remembe quite how i did it, i have a feeling it was to do with the COM ports that you use for blueooth. upgraded to Vista and no problems, my suggestion is to go to vista, its much better then XP and everything works.
I have hardware unsupported under Vista (pro-soundcard) and my computer is a little bit too old (512 MB of RAM are fine with XP, won't be with Vista). Anyway I'm okay with XP, I won't change my OS just for an ActiveSync problem.
Anyway I updated my Artemis with the B&B 3.7 WM6 ROM and now it works... Was a problem on the phone I guess.
Thank you for your help

Vista Sync Issues

Hi All, I have a Hermes with WM6 and have just installed Vista Ultimate and am not able to get my Hermes to Sync.
Vista claims it does not recognize the device . . . I have tried via USB & Bluetooth. Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Same thing happen to me the first time what ROM did you use? I just use Fun key rom and everything works great.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?

Even I have wmc6.1 installed, my computer doesn't recognize my Hermes starting from build 1921, it opens it as a storage device only, but no syncing !!, downloading Starbase's ROM right now and will try...
Vista has issues with everything its a pile of *beep*
I am also having similar issues. I just got my new laptop that runs Windows Vista Business and I can get WMDC 6.1 to sync and see the device but it will not load my contacts and calendar onto the latop. Its becoming very frustrating and I'm not sure why it won't sync the data. I'm running the vp3g 3.62 rom on my phone.
Try this...
Click...
Start-> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Uncheck the box "Enable advanced network functionality"
if it is already unchecked, then try checking it. That seemed to work for me when I had problems with WMDC.
Still the same results for me. My phone can connect to the computer... it just won't sync the data.

Install Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista from Windows Download center. Then everything will work fine. It is my experience.
One thing that might help from my experience:
Take out the microSD card. I had some problems with it inside my phone - no sync. When I took it out everything worked fine! Then I formated my card and problem was solved... don't know what it was all about.
Last month i uninstalled the wmdc and then reinstalled it... i got the connection right but not always...
THen last week i had to reinstall windows and then when i did and update , i got an all new WMDC. This version works fine and good... No issues now...
I have the latest WMDC and have tried everything so far mentioned still and still no sync!?!
Very frustrating.
Any other ideas? Am I missing something really basic.
I have done something right!
After downloading WMDC finally the Jasjam was recognised however when trying to sync the following error occurs:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To check your connection settings, select Start, then Settings, then Connections."
So i went to that part of my phone but have no idea what I should be checking!
All help with this is much appreciated (if only things would just work )

Help: I cannot Sync my i780 at all

Hello every one...
I got a very interesting problem.. I cannot Sync my i780 completely... !!
I'm running Windows Vista Enterprise on my Laptop, and installed Windows Mobile Device Center..
even though I can connect in USB mode, and detects my phone as USB flash drive...!
Everything was working before.. and suddenly stopped working!!!
I reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center, hard reset my device.. and no good..
Then I gave it a last chance and tried on my PC with Vista Business fresh installation, and interestingly it did detect my device, and be able to establish a partnership!!
but I'm doing all my work on my laptop because of the job's demands.. and of course will not reinstall windows just to get the mobile device center to work..
Any ideas, help or hint, will be really appreciated.. it is urgently needed
Thanx in advance...
Suspect your laptop DHCP Client has disabled

What I am suspecting is your laptop DHCP Client has disabled. In the future if you face this problem again just make sure that DHCP Client service status in services.msc
Well.. The DHCP Client service is working.. it wasn't disabled before...
also I restarted the service.. and again no good.. cannot Sync neither through Bluethooth nor USB..!!
any more ideas??
what is your rom version?
If you use HH5 you should check utillity setting in program and change connection by cable from USB to active sync
I didn't flash my ROM at all by the way.. and it is set to ActiveSync not to USB I didn't miss that =)
hope that there is a solution out there.. =S because it is really mandatory for me to get some of my job done...
thanx in advance
Try turning off "advanced network functionality" in the USB connectivity settings.
Slows the transfer down a lot but whenever I'm having problems it works without fail.

But I don't have USB to PC option.. it just says how is the USB connection mode.. ActiveSync or Storage Mass.. and this is it.. probably I got different ROM.. very important thing here to note.. I didn't touch my ROM didn't reflash or upgrade..
Also I was digging for Advanced Network to disable but couldn't find any were.. =(

That's odd because my stock i780 (has DXHE1 on it) has the option for it.
I've had occasions where Activesync will just stop working for no reason and then come back to life a little later... I have no idea why.
Sorry mate, but I'm out of ideas...
Don't be sorry man.. =)
Thanx for your effort and time.
Probably I will reinstall the system after a while then =)
Best Regards
