All of a sudden my activesync has stopped working. I can't connect via USB or bluetooth. It worked fine in the past! Now, if I plug in my Tilt with the USB it gives me an error message saying Activesync cannot connect, and gives me the option of troubleshooting. Going through the troubleshooting process yeilds no diagnosis; everything appears to be working ok.
If I try and sync with bluetooth, I see the Tilt connect, and then disconnect a few seconds later. No error messages, no nothing.
My Tilt's activesync window displays the message:
"To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC." It once displayed info such as my last sync, etc.
I've tried reinstalling activesync, and disabled my firewalls.
Anybody else have this issue, or know of a fix?

Sounds like something has changed on your PC, perhaps via a Windows Update. Have you checked to see if your firewall is the culprit?
You may also want to do a clean uninstall and then reinstall Activeswync 4.5 and create a new partnership with your device.
You can also try restoring your PC back to a date that you were able to use Activesync....
This happens to me rather frequently (I am looking for an ActiveSync replacement because of it).
However, I fix it by either soft reset of the device, PC, or sometimes both. If that doesn't work, you need to delete the partnership with the PC and reconnect.

...any solutions yet?
I just got my kaiser 3 weeks ago after using a wizard for almost 2 years. what a great phone the wizard was... I kinda miss using it! Anyhow, i just experienced the sudden activesync failure. I now get random activesync openings on my kaiser with the message "To synchronize your device with a desktop computer... yada yada".
I have already setup a bogus server and set the scheduling to manual.
I have compared the wizard registry to the kaiser registry by searching every instance of 'activesync' and couldnt find anything.
I also deleted all instances of activesync in the notification queue and had memmaid rebuild it.
The device will connect to activesync but pops an error message that it could not synchronize and goes into a guest account setting. So for now I am having to use pimbackup to backup my data on the kaiser, bluetooth it to my wizard, then sync the wizard with my laptop to get the data into outlook. I am considering a hard reset but kind of want to wait until the at&t 6.1 official Rom comes out. I am also considering Chapura Pocketmirror Professional which worked well on an old Ipaq i had (wm2k3) that had sync issues. I also want to get this resolved so i can practice loading a new rom on the wizard. So....
Anyone have a fix yet? I hope so!!!
Oh, and for reference (to answer questions from other threads), my kaiser battery drains 4 to 5 times faster than the wizard in side by side use, and the kaiser definitely does not have a transflective screen while the wizard does... bummer. but the kaiser is tremednously faster!
1. Disconnect the device from your computer.
2. Try going to your device and select:
start->settings->connections->USB to PC.
3. Uncheck "enable advanced network functionality"
4. Reconnect the device.
Active Sync....
Hi,
You can try "PocketMirror® Professional 2.2.4 for Windows Mobile", its a pretty good syncronization tool, but it costs a few bucks...
I've been using the trial version of PocketMirror and must say its pretty good with my TYTN 2.
Regs,
The Reaper.
... my thoughts exactly
yeah, i tried the usb to pc option as well. even downloaded a cab from another thread that allowed me to choose rndis or usb mode. neither worked. I will probably use pocketmirror pro as well...
Hi, I just flashed a new ROM on my Orbit that works brilliantly, no issues at all, apart from the fact that the computer now doesn't see the device at all. Not even the blo-blong sound when you connect any USB device. The only thing I get connecting the cable is charging the battery. And if I start Active Sync on my Orbit I get the same message as mystic_nacho:
"To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC"
I just tried an hard reset to try to fix the issue - no success..
Before flashing everything was fine..
Btw, my wife Diamond doesn't connect either, and it never did it: something related to the TouchFlo thing?
Any idea?
The ROM I flashed is
gullums TouchFlo2D beta 4
update
I found the Diamond 'Getting started disc' and installed the Windows Mobile resources tool...
The disc I have from the Orbit box is for Windows Mobile 5, I guess it's not worth to find it out and try...
Nothing changed, anyway.
update 2
Yesterday night out of the blue - while the Orbit was still connected to the pc - ActiveSync started to work... F. knows....
i had the same problem - sync was working fine and then stopped. what worked for me was to go to USB to PC under settings and uncheck "enable faster data syncronization".
hi,
i also had sync. problems in the past.
searched for months.. since i figured out that some registry entries on my PC where missing!
imported the mayor setting from my brothers PC and TADAAAAAA. problem solved.
search my threads and maybe you 've luck with my soloution!

Have you recently used a memory cleaning Application like memmaid, Clear Temp, or SKTools? You might have cleaned out some important notification files, like repllog,exe that is used for activesync.
I had the same thing happen to me when I first used these cleaners. I had to do a hard reset on the phone to make it work again found out about the remedies listed below after the reset.
I have heard others were successful repairing these notification Queue's with MemMaid. You can hold your stylus on the repllog,exe notification, and a popup up will appear, asking you to Recreate ActiveSync, or rebuild notification Queue. I don't know if this feature is available in Clear Temp, or SK tools.
I've also heard of restoring activesync by unchecking all of the folders, syncing, and then adding each folder back to the list, one by one, until all is restored.
I too have just developed the same problem.
I have 2 TYTN II' one will sync fine the other wont.
It all went horribly wrong after I tried to install Wisbar and an Ipod theme, after I uninstalled it, cos it didn't work I found I could no longer sync with USB to PC and the sync option is greyed out on my phone. The phone will charge with some of my usb cables, but now even seems fussy about which cable will charge and some now won't.
I am given to wondering whether the usb connection on my Phone is the problem...everything else seems to be working fine.
I have even installed different ROMS via the memory card still the problem persists.
I would love someone to come up with a fix
**UPDATE**
Well I now have got it working, in my case I was right, the usb connection on the phone was to blame. I took it to a mobile repair shop, I told the guy that I thought it was faulty he took one look at it and said that I had a bent pin, he got a little tool out and teased it back into position, sure enough when I got home it worked fine so now I am able to sync again. Not sure how long it will last though.
**Update 2**
Failed again, at least I know what's wrong now.
Whenever I connect my Tilt (Original WWE HTC TYTN II rom 1.56.405.5 and radio 1.27.12.11 flashed on it) I sometimes get Activesync to connect and sync, and other times it just gets stuck saying "connecting" and the activesync icon is spinning and green permanently. In order to get out of that I have to pull the usb plug, but then the Tilt freezes and I have to do a soft reset. Then after that it connects and syncs fine for a few times and then it has the problem again. I have tried it with the "enabled advanced network functionality" checked and unchecked, and still the same issues. Although, I only tried it once with the box unchecked. Also, what I noticed is that when it is syncing and checking for changes on the device, it reads through my "favorites" like two times beofre it says "connected". I have other PPC synced on other computers and they never read completely through the favorites, once or even twice.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First, a suggestion: Bump your old thread. Don't start a new one!
What other applications do you have running in the background? You said it syncs for a couple of times after soft-reset, so, I am wondering if you have any other applications causing the problem.
Lots of things could be causing your problem. Here are some things for you to try:
1. MOST IMPORTANT: Make sure that you plug your device directly into the computer. Do not plug the device into a USB hub or other device. If you are using a laptop, do not plug the device into USB ports in your docking station. More technically, make sure that the port you are using is a Root USB device, not a Generic USB one. This make quite a difference in Vista, because locking your computer or having a UAC prompt while you are connected to a generic USB device seems to interrupt the connection.
2. Make sure that you have "Advanced Network Funcationality" enabled.
2. Make sure that you have the latest version of ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista). If you are using Vista, the current version is 6.1. This version has some updated drivers that seems to help immensely with stability.
3. If you are using Vista, make sure you have all the latest OS updates installed. There was a Windows Update sometime back in November of 2007 that fixed some serious bugs in the USB drivers in Vista.
4. If you have Windows Firewall Client for ISA installed, do a search on the Microsoft website for possible problems with interactions between ActiveSync/WMDC and the firewall client.
Hope this helps.
Cardyin
In my experience - a year with an 8525 and 5 months with the Tilt - having "Advanced Network Functionality" disabled, gives more consistent positive results when syncing to a PC running XP.
OK.
Sherpa: I have no other applications running in the background. I always close all apps before a sync out of habit.
Also, I am not sure how to bump the thread.
Cardyin: I plug directly into my laptop, don't use a USB hub or anything. I don't have a dcoking station either.
I have the latest version of activesync: 4.5
I am using XP SP2.
I have no firewall.
dgduris: I have tried it both with "advanced network functionality" enabled and disabled, same results.
Thanks for responses
Anyone have any ideas about this problem??
Are you sure you don't have a firewall running? I have a similar problem with ZoneAlarm if I forget and leave the firewall on High security. I have to switch it to Medium security in order for ActiveSync not to freeze up like that.
I am positive, and if it was the firewall, it would do it all the time, not just every four or five syncs.
Anyone else have any ideas??
Anyone at all??
I can't solve the problem but I could advise as to a quicker way to get it synced when it decides to play up.
When mine does the interminable "connecting" business, I click on the "stop sync" button. It usually takes 20 seconds or so to stop.
I then click the "sync" button (same button) and the device always syncs immediately.
I don't know why it does this - and it does it a little too often for my liking - but that solution works for me.
It's a lot quicker than disconnecting and soft resetting too.
1) You say you dont have a firewall... I assume you mean other than the windows firewall. Try turning that off and then plugging it in. If it connects then you know it is a firewall issue. You can manually add the sync apps and ports to the firewall exlcusion list.
2) Try disabling the device lock if you use it. I had a shortlived problem with a pin lock blocking syncing. I disabled the pin, synced and then re-enabled the pin and it worked fine afterwards.
Tried that too...

Thanks Sparrow. I found that out myself before as well. But I am sure there is another way to fix this.

Right, all I have is the windows firewall. I will disable that and try a few syncs.
As far as device lock or pin, I have none setup on my Tilt.
But Thanks for the responses.
Seems like at least one other person is having this issue. See Sparrowhawks post...
Anyone else have any ideas?? I tried the above advice and still not syncing correctly.
I have tried all the suggestions here and nothing is working. I can get the device to sync only about 3 or 4 times, and then it just keeps saying "looking for changes". I have the AT&T Tilt, with the original WWE HTC rom flashed on it. The way I have to get around this is to click "stop" on my PC and then wait abut 2 to 3 minutes for it to stop attempting to sync, and then when I click on "sync" on my PC it connects no porblem. Or I have to unplug the usb cable and soft reset the device, what a pain!
Anyone have any other ideas please?
I just noticed something else that may help identify the problem.
When I connect the usb cable to the device I get a pop up message from my laptop telling me that my wifi connection is connected and signal strength is good. This message is on the laptop, and then the device will not sync and keeps saying 'looking for changes' forever.
BUMP>>>>>>>>
I'm needing help. I flashed to the new ROM, 1.62.502.0. I did the Soft Reset thing to remove the Bloatware and restored my PIM with Sprite. After I reset my device ID I connected with Active Sync.
Now I'm stuck with Active Sync appearently in the process of "Synchronizing", however it's doing it for two hours....and it still isn't completed. I blew out the Active Sync on the PC and reloaded it, and now it is showing a second PC but still is the synchronizing endless loop...and I only have it set to sync a few files and Notes.
Can someone help me out with any suggestions?
Since no one has offered to help....Does anyone know of a place where I can get some help?
An update: I was able to sync just fine before I flashed to AT&T's new ROM. Plus I am still able to sync with my laptop, so the problem appears to be with my PC. I can also load programs and explore my PPC with the PC, however the sync process never proceeds past the "synchronizing" phase, i.e. the "processing" and then to the "connected" phase. I have un-installed and reloaded ActiveSync several times.
If no one knows ar has a suggestion....can someone point me to a third party syncronizing program....I'm really up the creek here.....
I think you would have more luck at the At&t customer forums, as people here generally don't use OEM Rom's.

Normally I would consider myself an above average user, but this one has got me stumbed and beginning to get truly frustrated so I am turning to this faithful community for help.
For whatever reason my desktop AS 4.5 has stopped working. Normally I could care less as I use EAS for my PIM, but I recently have started my own company and am using MS Business Contacts Manager as a database and want to be able to sync it with my phone.
Here's the problem...I attached my Tilt to my computer, the green light turns on, I can load programs, explore my device, but I can't get AS to open so I can set-up a partnership with my local computer. I have discovered the file WCESMgr will only open for a few seconds and then close again. I have tried everything I can find on the topic: unloading and reloading AS w/firewall and virus software off, I have confirmed all ports are open, I tried unabling the advanced feature function on my Tilt, I have tried FixMapi, multiple USB ports on my computer, syncing with bluetooth versus the cable, hard reset of the phone, reloading the ROM and yet I can't ever get my computer to open AS and let me set-up a partnership.
Does anyone have additional suggestions? I can't imagine it's the actual ROM on the phone since I have used it for awhile and it worked initially when I first flashed it over. I can't pin down when it stopped working since until about 3 weeks ago I never used the cable sync, just EAS. But other then increasing the RAM on my computer and upgrading to MS Office 2007, nothing else has been changed.
I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!!!
I have recently re-installed windows on my laptop and installed a few new roms on my Kaiser, and now when I try to sync up to my computer, it says "Synchronizing" on the pc activesync window, but just sits there spinning its little green icon, while the phone says that it is connected to a pc, but no data transfer/sync-ing is in progress. I have lost all my contacts as it seems to be removing them from my phone or corrupting them in transit to the pc, so I've had to start from scratch. Is this a known issue?
Cheers in advance,
Chris
I'm having something like that. I can Sync all the itens except Contacts. I can't change settings for Contacts too. What is happening?
Try to delete your AS partnership on the PC, then remove your USB connexion and if it is still there, also remove the AS partnership on your device. Soft reset and connect. A new partnership will be created, hopefully solving the problem.
