Come on you Mac users! Has anyone been able to get PocketMac to work with WM5 as yet. Have emailed PocketMac with no response yet. Bit of a bugger as WM5 works great on my PDA2K with all the latest patches. Any help would be appreciated.
pocketmac does not yet support wm5, see also pocketmach homepage...
JaToAc is right. The site says WM5 coming soon.
Evening folks,
I have just completed a full clean install of my desktop PC and need to install Activesync, but which one?
As you may have guessed by the fact I'm in this forum, I have an Alpine, a Qtek 2020i to be precise.
Other information that might be helpful for you to give me an informed decision is...
I do have WIFI and bluetooth, and obviously the cradle
I run Exchange 2003, full version, fully updated
I do want to connect to Exchange both at home and on the run for email etc.
Thanks in adavance
Tom
Come on folk, you guys must be connecting you Alpines with Activesync, well unless cups and string have taken over!
If nothing else please let us know your experiences of the different version from 3.8 to 4.2 of Activesync.
Tom
Just upgraded from 3.8 to 4.2 and it kept my partnership so not really any issues there.
Not used it much yet but 4.2 seems alright, no real issues yet.

Well I opted for 4.2 and certainly the basics are working.
However....
I don't know if you use the sync function for music inside Media Player? I sort of did previously, I couldn't use automatic because I'd need one fo Sanyo's new 8GB MMC for that!
However I can't sync music at all now, says that the device may not recognise the format. I'm wondering if it uses Activesync behind the scenes and that is trying to send a slightly newer version of the WMA format that Media Player in Mobile 5 understands?
Tom
Hi,
Nope sorry never used Media syncing, when I do use a HTC device for playing emdia files I've always used TCPMP and just played the files straight off the SD card.
Could try contacting Micros$ft support - you'd have thunk that they'd include backward compatability, but hey I'm just a C/Perl programmer for a living so what do I know!

trying to find a copy of Activesync 3.8 for Win98
Hi

Can someone upload it for me, so I can get her XDA synced and backed up ?

Active sync and ports
Hi
Slightly off topic here
Just wondering if any of you use active sync and a gps reciever ?
I use my XDA11i daily at work and it is always sync'ed to work lap top .I have been trying out side of work to get a gps reciever to be recognised but no joy and , worst , oftern software says it cant find or open the port?
Any body have this problem ? know of a port manager that works with Win 2003se !!!or a way to see what is connected to each of the ports ?
Ive tried all of the usual things , Beam settings , re booting , compete re install etc but no joy
Astro1
I did a windows update and now my wizard wont pair any bt devices and alot of crazy stuff is hapenning. I cant change my Today screen sometimes i get calls and sometimes i dont. I dont get any messages now.
that sounds like a classic M$ windows update to me.. i would say everything is working fine
If its true what you say about the update why did you even try it or it did it automaticaly. but shogunmark is right sound like microsoft. LOL
Update: Sorry i thought that it was a wm6 update but still thats m$ doing
Windows Update Concern
I connected to windowsupdate while I had WM6 installed. Was I the only one who worried that M$ would come and get me because I was connecting to the site with a not yet released rom?
im just trying things out
did u actually install an update from windows update or just did a check
people tried calling me today and the phone didn't even ring.
I tested this once by calling myself, I had to turn the phone from standby for it to ring. Very wierd.. I am confused because I really like crossbow but the radio on it sucks right now.
Not sure which version I should rollback to

Threre is no radio on the WWE crossbow that you installed. It still has the old radio that you had before the WM6 ROM install.
As far as I know, there isn't any updates available to WM6 at this time.
I have tried to check for updates a couple of times, but no available updates.
ABOUT THE WINDOWS MARKETPLACE: I mailed and asked for an demo-account.
I then got an answer (froma nice lady) that said that access to this demo account was strictly for the MS developmenet team. And she asked me to accept her appologies.
I then replied that i fully understood this, bearing in mind that thie WM6 ROM isn't released yet, and that im in possesion of a pirated WM6 ROM.
That didnt conscern her at all. She asked me what I thought of the ROM, and if I had any pro's and con's.
So were not able to use marketplace as of now. :-(

Do you know why she did not care, cus windows does not have a WM6 beta testing so the only way that it can work correct it to 'leak' it and let poeple like faria sort it out for them!!! Show where it can be made better! With out them windows would not be able to do anything!
Lol... ive thought the same thing for years now. Its funny how we all want windows products, but the first thing we do is tear them apart and tweak them. I think microsoft might let it leak out on purpose. This makes most of the blame not thier fault (the leak is like an alpha) and it lets ppl find bugs and fix problems in thier software that they can easily fix later. Faria and molski and the others are nothing more then unpaid microsoft employees (we should do something about the unpaid part )

I think its more like this.. We are able to see the potential in a decent product and work in our spare times to make it more functional despite some of the M$ bugs found along the way.. But we all work together as a community. If you want to donate i would consider donating to the board first, this is where we all come together to make things happen, there is alot of work that goes in to them besides the person who puts it out there
Update
It is microsofts policy not to collect any personal information when your device connects to windows update. You won't be caught but who knows.... They might launch an update to mess your phone up before release... As for the updates there arn't any it's still in development. I would tend to agree about the radio rom

Then its a problem with crossbow, the phone doesn't turn on by itself when the caller hears it dial.
Hi all, ive been looking on here for a while now (and several other places too) for a fix for this. i have a cingular 8125 that works fine with all versions of activesync on windows XP, but on my home computer i have Vista RC1. i have downloaded WMDC and instaled that and i get all the way through the installation fine, then when i go to sync, it loads all the USB driver untill it gets to on that says "Unspecified Device" and fails. I havve tried the "WHOS" reg patch and several other things inculding checking for udates with the device attached, installing with the device attached....you get the pic..its bewen driving me nuts. Anyone either kow of a fix for this or have the driver(s) for me to install on the computer? Thanks in advance
Corey
Also...this has always been an issues since the stock 1.8 rom. i then tried the stock cingular 2.25 rom, the first release of the molski/faria/kyphur/etc. 3.3 rom, and the PDAVeit ver.2 WM6 rom and all have given me the same result. any ideas? i cant seem to find any driver anywhere, and im starting to think that maybe i have something wrong with my device.
bump for some help?
Vista Buisness N
Vista Buisness N confirmed not to work with active sync. Wait until Microsoft releases a patch. Probably tommorow
cool, thanks for the info...i hope it works on RC1 too.... do you know if it will be available from windows update or will i need to search microsofts webpage to get it? thanks for the help
I have vista ultimate got it a few weeks back and i ran into a problem with my mda because there is no active sync. I had to get the sync center version from RC1 to get it to sync right. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx thats where i got it from you can give it a try.

::edit:; that part installs correctly, its when i plug my 8125 it says its looking for driver for an unidentified device
RUU under Vista
WMDC works fine for me (RTM build). The problem I have is eing unable to run RUU under Vista - it crashes after my Wizard goes into bootloader.
Someone seen this too or am I the only one unlucky?
bootloader
This is a very common problem. Ithink it has something to do with the rapi connections
Not sure this works, but have you made sure that the remote-NDIS network card is set to have the IP address assigned by the DHCP instead of using a static ip address (default)?
I am weary of upgrading to WM6 or Vista due to compatability issues. Even though the tech whore side of me is foaming at the mouth to them up and running I have read and think there are still too few drivers and support for Vista. Plus I need $134 to upgrade from business to ultimate

vista kind of sucks but wm6 is great.
Vista is just really annoying to use. I have Vista/sever 2003/xp on my laptop and I almost always use server. I think mostly because I develop web apps. Server just works, no crap.
WM6 is a very very welcome upgrade over wm5 and overall it seems less buggy than even the latest AKU's for WM5.
hello guys.
i'm trying to connect my tytnII with ubuntu.
couldn't obtain any result with synCE, but on an ubuntu wiki i've read that wm6 is not yet supported. one thing that interested me very much is the chance to connect the ppc t least as a mass storage installing on the phone the WM5torage program.
since the thing i'm intereseted the most is to browse the folders to upload stuffs as well, i've installed the program.... but... it is not recognized at all, i activate the program and connect the usb to pc, but ubuntu stays quiet and doesn't recognize nor do anything.
is there something more should i do in order to make it work ?
tnx
up.
none can help me pls?

finally!
thank you very very much.
finally ubuntu recognizes my usb!
now i can upload stuffs into the mmc at least.
thank you.
How?
How does this work as the program is for a Palm and WinXP Desktop.
I am using ubuntu gutsy and WM6 ... kinda backwards here LOL
If anyone has any tips for getting these 2 to sync that would be great! I also have a TYTN II and have had no success in getting these to sync at all with SynCE.
Thanks!

I've been attempting to get Synce working, but have utterly failed; largely because the documentation is so utterly ****.
pocket pc version
a link to the pocket pc version. I will try it later.

A Different Option
What I ended up doing is getting a free hosted exchange server with http://live.mail2web.com so that at least will sync my phone and back everything up. Also I know there is an evolution plugin that will sync to exchange servers too, the only thing that doesn't work is getting cabs and other files to/from the phone and computer. As for PIM information, it all syncs OTA and is done over Microsoft Direct Push Technology.
Check out this news article, its where I got the idea from http://cristiantm.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/sync-wm5-wm6-with-evolution-without-activesync/
Good Luck too
AF
Mail2web will not work
Evolution cannot pass the @ symbol to log you into mail2web so that won't work. WM5torage is free, available in these forums and works flawlessly. Been using it for awhile, Ubuntu recognizes it as an external drive.

Hi
I have successfully got synce for file browsing and internet sharing working over USB with kubuntu 7.10. However, at the time you had to apply a linux kernel patch to get the WM6 device recognized. You also had to be running the latest synce (not ubuntu stock).
Here's the ubuntu bug report on the kernel side of things:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/192411
... the first patch listed (from the synce subversion repository) was the one I have used successfully although it looks like it has been rolled into the 2.6 tree (can't see the change in LXR for the latest stable 2.6.24.4 kernel, but I may be wrong). Here's hoping it'll just run out of the box soon.
And here are the instructions for installing the updated synce:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
With the patch and updated software the WM6 device attaches and shows up as a regular network device (rndis0 I think), negotiates private addresses for the link and you can just set a default route out of rndis0 to use the internet. Strangely, I did find that I had to set internet sharing on my mobile to share via bluetooth rather than USB to get that bit working.
Sorry the instructions are a bit rough and ready. If anyone knows the location of a proper howto, do post it. I had to piece it together myself a few months back and it was quite painful.
Good luck.
Si
