Has anyone else noticed that sometimes activesync just starts randomly? it doesnt show on the main screen but when i hit the x button, i see that activesync is there and activesync is a heavy program and i notice a drop in performance whenever it's running.
Anyone know why this is happening?
Not to be too acerbic, but AS starts all the time, syncs when the wind changes direction and decides to not see or sync with a phone it should know well as it pleases...at least in my experience.
same chore here. wouldn't be as bad if AS didn't slow the system as much.
AS starts randomly as long as you have no Exchange Server specified. At least, that was the case in WM5. Just create an Exchange Server in the AS settings (just use a fake server) and set the sync schedule to manual. You can even delete te fake server you made, in WM5 the schedule was saved and AS would not start randomly anymore. Try it and see if it works.

i didnt find any 'exchange server' in the AS settings
Go To Start>Settings>Phone> Time Zone Tab and un-check the auto time/time zone seting box. This will stop the active sync madness. The "fake" server tweak is also a good idea, but the time zone issue is a Kaiser bug.

Everyone in a while i check to see what programs are running and Active Sync is always on! I close it and later on it comes back on. Is there something that can be done to close it and only use it when i connect to pc?? I have the ATT Tilt 8900 incase that matters.
Same here on a TyTn II. I sync with exchange and have peak times set. So in the evening or on sunday the AS still starts when I power up the phone. And also when I close it it starts again...
Goto Start>Settings>Phone then to the "Time Zones" tab and un-check "automatic time zone change and clock".
Active sync will quit it's crazy auto launching madness, plus you won't get the "hey, my clock just jumped ahead for no reason" bug that many have seen.
This also will help:
Do the ActiveSync workaround now and you won't be sorry later. Thank you to the original poster in HowardForums for this workaround -- I did it on my older HTC TyTN and now on my Cingular 8525 as well as Tilt and found it to resolve the weirdness all around:
1. Turn on your 8525/8925
2. Go to Start > Programs > Activesync. This will open the Activesync program.
3. Tap Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu tap on Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Ticking save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Tap Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every 5 Minutes (A01 Rom), or Every 10 Minutes (A06 Rom). This simply will not do! ( * Advanced users - please see my note below * )
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button at the top right of the screen.
Congratulations! Activesync is now gagged from opening on it's own and ruining your life! Your work is not done just yet though - time to clean up and get rid of the now unwanted fake Exchange Server.
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s). Obviously do not delete these!
After you sync your 8525/8925 with a PC and have removed it from the dock, you must manually close ActiveSync on your pda or it will remain running and defeat the purpose of the fake exchange server hack (n.b. if you are not using a 3rd party program that will close apps permanently e.g. Magic Button or Wisbar, you will need to go to Start > Settings > System > Memory > Running Programs and Stop it manually). This could be why some people have had no luck with the hack.
I had applied the "fake" server trick but it had no effect on the Kaiser's active sync madness (although I also reccomend that it be done on all phones not using servers), the time zone fix nailed it.
Timezones trick does not work by me. I also have no problem with the clock jumping...
The Exchange trick, well I am using an Exchange server to sync with, so my peak times is set ot as items arrive, and non peak hours to manual... peak times are set only ot weekdays between 08:45 and 19:00 so I am afraid I have to live with the bug. Well it is not that bad since there is a load **** of memory on the kaiser.
How to Ungrey Schedule Permanently
If you want to be able to have the Schedule item ungreyed permanently, and therefore available for use, follow the procedure described by Pruben above, but don't delete the fake server. Now click on Schedule, select the Options tab and deselect all boxes in the Microsoft Exchange section. Press OK and you're done.
I haven't been able to test this out fully because Pruben's solution doesn't work for me, so maybe someone can test this and post results.

This trick worked for me w/my Tilt, ATT rom
I have just noticed that my Live is no longer syncing (every 15mins to check emails). The settings are all correct, I haven't changed anything.
It does work if I set it going manually but not from the schedule. Anyone else notice this?
I did install "duttythroy Windows Live 10.6.32.2100" a while ago... I wonder if it is related to that?

I think I am getting the same error. Nothing has changed on the net connection, but the sync bar takes ages to fully complete, looking like its hung. And at the end it has not sync'd the changes I have make
Same here i posted this yesterday, very hit and miss with windows live/hotmail, we are just in the process of setting up the push email on the company server, hope it performs better than this.
I'm having the same problem.. any solution yet?
Ive found a work around to sync email with windows live. you need to login to messenger, if you dont want to show online be sure to sign in offline. then simply sync as normal and logout of messenger when your done. Ive been doing this a week now and it works. the issue has been logged with microsoft and is being worked on.
I am using an S730 since December 21st and after playing around I still have some issues unresolved, see if anyone has ideas.
1- How do I download multiple email account at the same time (manually) instead of having to open each account every time want to do this.
2- Bluetooth acts crazy sometimes, it take over my car stereo (Mercedes E-Class) by making the radio believe that it is making a call and mutes music, screen looks as if you were making a call but no call is made.
3- MEMORY, no matter what I do, SKTools or anything, memory does not let me use the camera. Only used it once, all other times it asks me to close programs even when none are open.
4- How do I input DNS, I have Wi-Fi conections that need me to input a DNS in order to pass through internet.
5- Windows Update never works.
Please coment and thanks for taking the time to read this.

3. There may be opened some unwanted processes on the background - close them using advanced task manager (which can handle processes - Celetask for example). Than just close processes like tmail, iexplore, rsshub...
4. Comm Manager -> WLAN Settings -> Connection Status -> IP Address -> Use specific IP address -> ... DNS
5. There are no available updates on Windows Update.
1) what do you mean? You want pocket outlook to not sync email for the mailboxes automatically, but want them to sync manually; but not do this from within pocket outlook? it can't be done without a program, and i've never seen one.
2) looking on the htc e-club, which has updates for the phones, a few other phones had strange bluetooth issues, and were issued updates. i'd say that htc is on the case, but give them a call anyway.
1. jdr1000 doesnt mean syncing mails with Outlook. When you set several email accounts in the messaging application you have to hit Send/Recieve and wait untit this operation is finished and then you can sync your next account. There is no Sync all option (as far I know). (At least there is Automatic Send/Recieve feature)
Thank you all for taking your time to help.
1- moneytoo is "on the money" that is what I want to do, it's like running 5 or 6 or X ammount of connections at the same time. It is one internet connectio after all.
2- I installed the fix for the vox and it happens 10% of the time.
3- Ok, I will look fo this.
4- How can I do this for a specific wi-fi connection and not for all of them, since this only happens when I am at work, all the other time it is ok if everything comes from the APs.
5- Ok. Thks

Is there anyway to get active sync to stop cutting on all the time for no reason or request? For some reason it is always turning on at random times (read - not when im syncing or using the usb)
Do you have push-mail or automatic exchange polling actvated? That would be a definite reason for AS to start....

not to my knowledge? i dont use the net (save for w/ wifi) but it's not turning on when wifi is activated....so i dont use the phone for email (save for using yahoo w/ wifi) and dont know what exchg polling is?
Known issue.
Go to activesync and create a dummy exchange server.
Set the Synch Schedule to "Manually" for both peak & off-peak times.
save everything.
Then you can delete the dummy exchange server and AS won't be always running when you close it out.
Hi all
i have a curious question i hope someone might be able to answer (maybe youve had this problem before in the past too?):
i have an exchange server, a laptop and this phone - the phone pulls emails from the exchange server - the phone is occasionally plugged into the laptop via usb - what i need is to synchronise the phone with the exchange server, and then synchronise the phone with the laptop, so effectively pulling the emails off the exchange server with the phone and then pulling them off the phone onto the laptop.
ive tried every way to do this but it seems that the phone will only let me synchronise with the exchange server _or_ the laptop, not both at the same time which is kinda annoying - am i missing something obvious here or is it just not possible?
thanks for reading this rambling confusing wall of text! i lubs joo <3
I'd definetly be interested in the solution, cause I'll be getting an exchange account soon.
i think the only way u can go about that would be to add the another email account to your phone so it pulls the emails directly off the imap/pop server
Solution to your problem
If you want to use activesync with 2 PCs or activesync and MS Direct Push you have to set the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination] = (DWORD) 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------/\
-------------------------------------------------------------------No space [EnableNonLocalCrossPollination] (bug in editor?)
This will also work when you want to synchronize with 2 different Exchange organizations (my situation).
Good luck, Cesare
wahey! thanks for that Bluetec! i shall give it a shot as soon as she comes back and let you know how it pans out.
thanks again!
