Been playing with Activesync and WM5 now for over 4 hours.
My findings are the following.
1) I have seem to have lost the partnership and only way to get it back was to flash the device again and create a new one.
2) I have seem to be able to establish a partnership as a Guest.
3) after refalshing I made a new parnership and connected, added my contacts and started to sync, well it started to look for changes and that was it.
4) My device gives network card gives me a Unable to obatin ip error and I have worked with both the Use Secific Ip and server asgined Ip.
So now I get the feeling that you cant sync with WM5 and outlook 2003 configured with a pst file.
Can anybody confirm that they have been able to download there contacts out of outlook (not server based)?
What is the trick for the network card set up on the device and the windows based mobile device network card on the desktop.
PS Yes I have XP SP2
I can confirm that it works. I did nothing special, it almost worked from the beginning. One thing, that it seems Outlook MUST be your default e-mail client when building a new partnership.
Activesync 4.0.0 b4343
Outllok 2003 (11.5608.5656)
Mamaich's patched wm5 rom + fixes
I also have no problems with outlook 2003 and AS4. Firewall or some other program can block the connection.
But I've setuped ActiveSync to sync directly with exchange server.

Good for u that u have an exchange srvr
Thanks for the feedback.
At this moment in time I will forget the Outlook sync and work on the connection to the device.
1) When I installed AS4 and attached my 1.40 device I was able to browse the device (and hence load the partion application).
2) When I upgraded to WM5 I have been unable to connect and if I can I can only get a conection as guest.
What do I see.
1) On connection for cradel a new network card is installed on my desktop, its is the "windows moble device" , configured to auto and since it finds no DHCP isntall an APIPA address and acts as a DHCP
2) On whatching the device in the network connections "Remote-Ndis-Host" Set to Auto I see under the IP address a mac address and then a APIA address which seems to be the same as the DHCP on the Desktop.
(Cant remember when I saw it).
So the device sometimes shows me connected (seen by the arrows at the top) sometimes comes up with Can't get an address. However the desktop AS4 is still connecting.
Seems that I have a conflict in the AIPA which should not be the case as that is not what it was built for.
I will try fix IP on both sides and bridging the netsworks, also turn off the firewall.
Find it hard to belive that I could see the device with AS4 and rom 1.40 and now cant with WM5.
Oh sorry, I actually forgot to turn off the fire wall. Everything is ok after I did that....
WM5 and AS4.0 are working seamlessly.......
I Had the same problem, after installing WM5 on both my XDA & XDAiis my ohone wouldnt connect to my desktop. I have AS4 installed on my notebook and that works fine. (it looks like the proble happens only on the PC used for installing WM).
I suggest removing AS4 and re-installing it.
Good luck
Well I will be dammed.
I turned off my firewall PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 on the computer that installed the rom and bingo.
So the firewall worked ok with the AS4 and 1.40 but not after upgrade WM5. Must be something new in the WM5 rom. The device says its connected the desktop only says its trying to connect.
Here are a few more things that I tried
Installed AS4 on my multi boot Laptop XPSp2 Partiion, had Windows firewall enabled all default settings, saw device and paired (did not have office so could only explorer device). And it worked
On Laptop XPSp2 partition were I installed WM5 and was able to connect to device with AS4 and rom 1.40 before the upgrade: I gave Device a fix Ip and Wireless Network connection on Laptop a fixed IP in a different network. Could ping both from PC but not connect with AS4. Tried to bridge the two networks (not that it was need) but did not help. Tried the same segement with fixed IP and still no luck.
Reinstalled AS4 many a time, reflashed it also many a time and still could not connect.
Well that was Fun... NOT
Hi @ all, when I'm trying to install AS4 on my Computer, I get the following error:
"Setup not complete. The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard."
I've tryed it on my computer and on my mobile computer. Both have a legal Windows XP with SP2 and all current updates from WindowsUpdate.
I can't find a conclusion, maybe someone can help me
Hi,
same problems as MDAIIIUser here.
I tried AS 4.0 on 2 different Notebooks and 1 Desktop PC. No problems with WM2003. Best result I was able to get was on a Notebook with XP Pro SP2. I could explore the device but no syncing anything.
The other 2 PS´s weren´t able to connect at all.
Any ideas ?

Well my problem is that my active sync takes ages to sync the contact and calender. Well i do have 900+ contacts but with WM2003SE that used to take a couple of minutes. Can someone enlighten on this.
Thanks.
Hemant.
The answer is that unfortunately the Persistent Storage (Flash Memory) although a benefit in so much as it will stop you from losing all your data in the event of a battery drain is also 10x slower than RAM. This is where the database resides for Pocket Outlook and you will see the speed difference when doing large file operations such as this.
Don't panic too much as after the first sync it will probably not make a great difference to normal syncs which will only update a few items each time.
There are some great links for stuff on Persistent Storage over at buzz's site ->Here<-
Bebbo,
Thanks for ur reply. The thing is that even my first sync hasnt finished yet and it takes a lot of hours to sync each one. Anyway i am trying to finish this weekend.
Thanks.
Is there a possibility that as4 cannot sync contacts with outlook2002?
Because I just can sync files and media. Most important things like contacts,
calender, task etc. don't work. Am I the only one with this problem?
Same problem as told by MDAIIIuser
Dear MDA-IIIuser I am facing same problems as you have written in your letter.
I Tried to give IP address manually it did not work.
Desperately, I tried to reinstall Active Sync 3.8; it did not detect my PPC.
I was able to synchronize my contacts....every time when I hard reset but after that nothing,,,,,,,,
although the Icon of LAN card showing incoming and outgoing data it remains in the phase of "connecting".
I tried to bridge to LAN card, it did not work.
If you will get any solution please let us know..
Thanks..
Well I amanaged to sysnc my contacts and my problem was my own firewall PC-Cllin 2005 which I needed to turn off.
Fire wall??
I am using Zone Alarm Pro, I was thinking on this line....I turned of (I turned off the windows fire wall also)...but problem remain same
shall I uninstall Zone alarm and see the responses??????????? :? :?
Well I checked my device with AS4 XP2 with Firewall (its default) and I could see my device, I did not sync as I had no office on it.
I was able to see the device with AS4 and Rom 1.40 so some thing is different with WM5.
Anything to do with ports must be off, also make sure you are connected direct.
Try it for what its worth!
I am also having this problem. I have assigned my PPC to obtain a server assigned IP address since i am syncing with two device. Every time it syncs it gives me an error that the server couldnt assign IP. Any luck on that.
Also all those people having problems where your computer is not syncing outlook entries, here i what you can try to do. Open your Outlook 2003 and then click tools and then click detect and repair. Once it is finished you will see that it can sync your outlook entries now. I hope this helps.
This is because your outlook 2003 has to be the default mail client or it wont sync your entries. Again of the dirty tricks of M$. :roll:
Hi Guys,
I have a rather odd problem. I am using a WinXP SP1 laptop along with Norton Internet Secruity 2005.
I just purchased a jasjar and installed the activesync 4.0 program that came on the CD. When i begin to synchronise, i get the following message:
"You will only be able to sychronise files, folder and other non-Outlook items right now. If you want to synchronise email, calendar, notes, tasks, contacts, please disconnect the device, install and run Outlook and then synchronise again". Well the funny thing is outlook is already running and used to work fine with my PDA2k.
Outlook is my default client for all of the above. I even tried disabling the firewall, still no luck. Can you guys help me out here, its really bugging the hell outta me.
Appreciate any input.
Best Regards,
UD.
With all of the concerns over electronic devices and air travel, I'm starting to consider a blackberry device. However, I love my Cingular 8125. I've read in other forums that it's feasible to get blackberry software to run on a Wizard. It would be great if a ROM could be developed for Cingular that allows for the use of Blackberry software.
Still no way to run Blackberry on an 8125 - But here's a question - Are you already getting email on your 8125 (e.g., with Direct Push)? If so, how would having a Blackberry client help??
I need the blackberry for work. Otherwise, I would use the push e-mail solutions that exist out there.
There is a separate post on this (Blackberry Connect on Wizard).
It should work now (both AKU1 and AKU 2 roms)
I was able to install the Vodaphone Blackberry software using my existing Cingular ROM. I had failed before using the T-Mobile Blackberry software. Now all I have to do is get it configured to work. One step at a time.
If you install the proper rom and BB Connect client, you can get the BB Connect to work on the 8125, but not using Cingular as a carrier, only T-Mobile since supposedly the gateway is hard-coded in the client to point to T-Mobile.
-Keith
You do not have to change to T-Mo. BB connect on 8125 should work with Cingular network. I just installed BB Connect 2.1.2.16 onto my 8125 with 2.17 ROM, simply put official Cingular SIM with unlimited BB plan, and it immediately started receiving BB mails. I only tried BIS but not BES, though.
I'm still waiting to get my e-mail account set up on our corporate blackberry system to try this out on my 8125. All of the preliminary installation and setup work seems to have worked so far, but until I get this turned on I won't be able to validate this. The reason that I originally posted this was that I couldn't even get the software to install when I tried the T-mobile version. After checking out the blackberry message on the Wizard forum, I found the link to the Vodaphone software and it installed the first time.

I upgraded to dutty's 6.1
I can sync to desktop by usb and to exchange by internet, but I can't sync to exchange by usb and get error message 80072f78 -
any solutions
not trying to be rude or anything, but googling that error code came up with a wealth of info.
i know...
Thanks for answering;
I tried a) deleting proxy server - didn't work b) registry change - didn't work c) changing activ sync connection to internet from automatic - didn't work
It's stupid because I can sync to exchange via internet (just not via usb) so it's not a big deal - just annoying
I'm kind of stuck - more suggestions welcome
Heelppp - please
Are you running 4.5? Try uninstalling and reinstalling activesync.
If not, try this.
0x80072f78 but not the same circumstances
Hi
Hi
I tried searching for this error 0x80072f78 message and I don't seem to get this message under the same conditions listed in the posts that I've found. I am getting the message at random in PIE with either GPRS/3G or when connected by USB. I have no problems downloading mail but can't use anything else for data (google maps etc). It doesn't happen every time but is very spotty. ATT tech support was no help as usual. I applied the registry change in the posts that discuss this error in relation to USB/active sync only and it did nothing. I'm using the latest att rom.
Any suggestions would be welcome. I've followed all of the suggestions that I can for people that are having the problem with active sync only and that has done nothing. I still have the problem when connected to gprs/3g. I have yet to find someone else posting that has this problem with both.
Thanks
Well add me to that list then. A user I provide support for has an unmodified Hermes (yes I know this is the Kaiser forum) that was exhibiting this behaviour over the air. (But was fine over USB.)
It turned out that he had a proxy server configured on his 3G/GPRS internet connection (with T-Mobile) but that setting was no longer appropriate, due to changes made at the T-Mobile end. Switched off the proxy server setting and all was well again.

Thank the Lord for search functions - was having this exact issue and it was driving me NUTS! Anyway if you are having trouble syncing over gprs but not over USB then this is the fix! Thanks
Tasks Exchange
I get this error when tasks on my exchange (mail2web.com) account is active and my tasks on my AT&T Tilt is active. When I deactivate (options) the exchange tasks and the phone tasks, then activate only the phone tasks the error goes away.
Ciao
Three weeks ago I updated my TyTNII with the new official HTC rom (I've an unbranded HTC TyTNII).
This all went well.
After setting up an email account I could send and receive emails with GPRS and Wifi. No problems for days.
Suddenly next week I couldn't send emails anymore.
Receiving email is still working but sending email gives an error '....Check your network coverage or (and) your accountsettings.....'
Nothing changed, no additional software is installed, no software removed.
The problem of sending emails occured out of nothing.
I also used an other emailaccount (I checked the settings several times) for testing and had the same problem.
Does anybody know what causes this ?
Nobody came across this kind of problem ?
Try this:
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Edit > Proxy Settings > Make sure "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet" is NOT checked.
Please post the results.
That option is not checked.
Still got the problem.
I have run into that many times.
Re-setup the account with a different name. Seems like your account has been corrupted.
Either that or hard reset.
Thanks....resseting the account did it.
Still a strange problem.
Yes, I had this problem. I setup the account again - and it STILL won't send. Really odd as it worked fine before 'upgrading' to 6.1.
It's independent of connection type. I use an independent email provider (fastmail) so I know that's not the problem. Any thoughts on how to delve deeper into the smtp settings than Pocket Outlook's menu system allows?
Still cant send
I have the same problem and it will eventually come back after account reset. Hopefully someone can figure out why.
Add another to this list...
I re-created the account under a different name and it worked fine for about a week, back to the same issue.
This is a SERIOUS problem that needs to be addressed, has anyone gotten any support from HTC in regards to this issue?
and me too.i have flashed alsorts of diffrent roms and radios with no joy.tred resetting up the email everytime.the frst week of using the first cooked rom was fine.after that nothing will solve the problem.
no matter if i load a new rom/radio.
i have now managed to half reload the t-mobile uk rom back to my phone and email is now working again but my phone will not awake from sleep now.
wish id never played with it lol,
any help appreciated
I have had this problem countless times over the years of using a PPC with IMAP (AOL). Recreating account does work, but only for a while (sometimes month's, sometimes days, and sometimes not at all).
well mine will not work whatever 6.1 rom i try.i have finally managed to get 6.0 back to my phone (with alot of effort) and straight away its working using the same settings i used on the 6.1 roms.
i just cannot understand what the cause could of been.i really want the 6.1 rom as they are alot quicker and i love the threaded sms.anyway i can get threaded sms on a 6.0 rom? or does anyone know of a fix for the email.im using ntl email.
also forgot to mention that on the 6.1 rom emails from an internet address worked fine its just the pop3 acounts that dont work for me
Sure, for threaded SMS try Vito's SMS chat application. I prefer it over the winmo version.
My experience is exactly the same: each time I recreate the email account, the problem returns after a short while - usually a few days; it's very very annoying. I need to go back to 6.0...or are there any suggestions for a Pocket Outlook replacement?

I have this same issue but strangely enough I also had it on my Palm TX via VersaMail. The way I fix this issue on VersaMail is I put a semi colon after the email address... ie. Your [email protected]; . But this dose not work with WM6.1 email.
Hmmm, not sure this is the best place, but it is a problem with my TD2 and certainly any searches so far have yielded little in the way of result.
So we begin - I've had my TD2 since May '09 until last weekend it has been recieving outlook items perfectly via GPRS/3G and Wi-fi all through Activesync/Direct Push without any problems. In fact normally quicker than the same item appearing in Outlook on my laptop via the VPN.
Last weekend we changed broadband supplier and upgraded our router at Head Office. Since then updates through Activesync have been sporadic at best but are normally non-existent. This is despite installing the new self-generated certificate for the new VPN/OWA IP number.
When plugged into my laptop and passing through to the Exchange Server via desktop Activesync the items will update on the phone. Unplug from the laptop and use GPRS and it takes an age to synhcronise before finally saying "Waiting for Network" and not actually downloading anything. Equally using the Wi-Fi at home gets similar results, though this is sometimes mixed up with a Server Temporarily unavailable actual error message rather than the meaningless "Waiting for Network".
Our IT support contractor is flummoxed (they got one of their iPhones to access my account and it worked perfectly and timeously). I have even done a hard reset of the TD2 and rebuilt the settings from scratch and we're still back to the same place.
I can only assume that it is something server side that is upsetting the process, but don't know what. Really annoying as it has all worked perfectly for 11 months and has now stopped working without me actually changing the device settings in any way whatsoever.
I went with a WM over an iPhone to get best MS integration, so why should this wobble give my phone problems when an iPhone can work away just fine?
So, any ideas from the great XDA font of knowledge of all things WM?
Many thanks,
Niall
Turns out the new router that was part of the broadband upgrade didn't have Port Routing configured correctly. One tick of a box and all is sorted for OTA syncing.
Still not working over Wi-Fi at home though so some work still needed somewhere.
Niall
If only it was that easy. Still get the Waiting for Network error.
I even did a hard reset, again, and got the "Waiting for Network" error on the first sync.
Only way to solve it seems to be to turn off SSL, but even that falls down after a while stating that:
Exchange Activsync has encountered an error. If this condition persists, please contact you Exchange Administrator.
Support Code 0x80830002
If I then desktop sync the device to Activsync on the laptop via USB (which passes through to our server Exchange anyway) it seems to "reset" the sync and OTA syncing will work again - for a time, normally failing sometime between 5 and 7am in the morning when I check Activsync on the TD2.
Our IT support contractor has washed their hands of it saying it must be the phone because they've had it working fine for several days on an iPhone and old WM6.1 HTC device syncing with SSL to my account. Having not changed anything on the device I don't understand what is wrong with it to behave so differently. Given that the phone is only 12 months old this a real downer.
Prior to the hard reset I was having intermittent filesys.exe crashing errors but these have gone now. Could it be related?
Flummoxed.
Niall
The IT bods have lent me the WM6.1 device (a Touch HD - man I love Sense 2.5 over Touchflo 3D.....). I have swapped SIMs so my TD2 is temporarily on Vodafone whilst the Touch HD has my T-Mobile SIM in it - both are currently syncing. Will see which one stops working first - so for those who are interested, watch this space!
Niall
For those that are interested here's where we are.

Got a new router a while back. Opened Port 80 and 443, all sorted. Obviously when the TD2 was working in the past I just wasn't noticing that Activsync wasn't working over WiFi, which is understandable given that Wi-Fi at home is normally for a bit of Facebooking and Casual Web Browsing and wherever the phone had the tiniest bit of T-Mobile signal it would still get push e-mail.

This appears to be a carrier problem. After working flawlessy OTA with SSL for 5 days (Wednesday to Monday) the Touch HD finally stopped at "Waiting for Network" whilst my TD2 with SSL carried on fine on Vodafone.
After a rather tiresome call to T-Mobile to try and explain the problem and have them tell me they've downloaded the manual for the TD2 and can I check the Activsync settings, settings, etc, I got put on hold for a while before they came back and said they've enabled Mobile E-mail on my account. They had no explanation as to why this had been disabled.
So the TD2 is back on T-Mobile with SSL. As of yesterday there was no improvement in that it would still fail. However I do appreciate that it can take a while for settings to take effect and so far "touch wood" today all is working as it should following a "Wi-fi reset" yesterday afternoon. Will probably update the thread further to confirm all is well or moan!
So in my case this was a carrier issue that caused the intermittent functioning of Activesync OTA. Changing to a different connection type e.g. Wi-Fi or Pass through via Desktop Activsync on USB would allow a successful sync and reset the OTA syncing (I guess it cleared the previous "dead/jammed/FUBAR'd" OTA Activesync connection) for a limited period of time. I am surprised that having Push E-mail blocked by the carrier allowed for intermittent functionality rather than a YES/NO it either works or it doesn't result!?!
So the lesson here is that the ability to receive Push E-mail may be a slightly different function from your Phone provider which can fail despite your data connection appearing to work fine (Web Browsing OTA on the TD2 was consistent throughout). I just hope this saves someone 4 weeks of phonecalls and hassle!

On one laptop I have Office2003 which refuses to sync with my Topaz, just sit there constantly trying to synch. PDA connects to laptop, is visable to edit the storage.
Another laptop has Office2010, this sync perfectly but will not allow checkboxes to be checked for contact, calender etc, only allows Mobile Favourites and OneNote...
Going to try a 3rd laptop [friends] that has Office2007 to see if that will fully sync...
T-Mobile phone monkey lied - Didn't make any difference.
The good news is that the problem is sorted. I've been reliably receiving push-email via Activsync OTA since last Thursday (5 days now).
Again it seems to have been a new router problem server side as we were also starting to experience VPN problems at work. The IT contractors contacted Draytek who told them that in one other instance (also on an LLU line) reducing the MTU value on the router solved the problem. Since doing this (maybe unconnected, the IT bods won't be drawn on it) the connection seems to work again. I've done some googling on MTU and the basic premise of reducing the value seems to make sense to me, smaller packets are harder to drop.

Any super techs that actually understand this stuff like to comment?
I can only hope this record of woes shorterns the inconvenience for others in the future!
Thanks,
