I can't connect to active sync

Hey everyone, i just was getting ready to update to the new core rom (from xplore 1.1) and i plugged in my Tmobile mda into my pc that is running xp, and it is not connecting. When i plug it in it like doesnt even try to find it. And when it does try to find it, it just says it can't establish connection with your item.
I was using xplore and this is the first time i had this problem ever. Ive flashed 4 or 5 times and this has never happened, and thats why im posting it in the wm6 forum.
Does anyone have any ideas? HAs this happened to anyone else?
Now i am back on the newest tmobile update, and it is still doing it. Also i installed the newest version of active sync. Still no go. Also i used shell tools to put xplore on my phone, could that have left out some active sync's files? (probably not, last time i put nottosmarts rom on here everything worked perfect.
ipl 2.26
spl 2.26
gsm 02.25.11
os 2.26.10.2
love you

I can flame you , lol
If you can't connect, how did you flashed the latest TMobile ? I am not making fun, I really want to help.

i threw it in bootloader mode. It said usb in the bottom right hand corner. It's just that activve sync is not connecting with it. i wouldnt even care, but i think you need an active connection to active sync when you flash with shell tools, which is what i do.
update: i just succesfully sync'd to my laptop running windows vista.
anichillus, do you know if shell tools will work with the new way to flash with vista?
thank you so much for reponding, i really appreciate it...a lot lol
the only reason im doing this is to get to your rom!

I really really don't know that sorry ... I am using WinXP and not shelltool.
Also, why are you using Shell Tool ? Dont't you have G3 ?
Unlock it and easy as pie. I remember papamopps saying that it is possible to flash in vista ...but i don't remember anything about shell tool ...
BTW, you have ZoneAlarm ..or similar installed to the PC where you say that it doesn't connect ? Try and disable firewall ... antivirus ..stuff like that.

well i just don't want to void my warranty, but ill definitly try turning off all the firewalls tommorow when i get a chance, i think im just going to give it a go with shell tools right now and hope for the best
Thank you so much and if you ever need anything i would love to help you in return.
you're the best!

i have the same problem..active sync doesn´t find my wizard..but it´s charging normally, but active sync doesn´t recognize it or i don´t know..what should i do?? i didn´t do any change on my pc..and before it works good..

If you're using Microsoft's OneCare then you may have to enable the Allow ActiveSync to get it to work.
Start OneCare then click the "Change OneCare settings" link on the left
Click the Firewall tab
Click the Firewall connection tool button
Place a check in the ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center" checkbox
Click Okay back to the main page
Hope this helps, but like Anichillus said, it could be any other firewall application blocking it...

yes! all i had to do was turn of norton for a bit and it instantly recognized my device. I was just so confused because this has never happened before and thats why i haven't thought of such an easy explanation. Thank you both for giving me your clear thoughts! lol

Another resolution idea
I had the same issue - I would plug the device in through USB into Vista Ultimate with no results other than the bing bong noise it makes on connection. Checking the device list showed the network pieces being added, but not the actual Wizard itself in the Mobile Devices section. I could not sync, it would not pair, etc, etc.
Resolution (on the Wizard):
1) Settings->Connections->USB to PC
2) Turn off "Enable advanced network functionality"
This of course will not be the resolution for everyone, but in case someone else sees this behavior, here is a list of the symptoms I saw:
1) Plugging Wizard in via USB causes Bing Bong noise
2) wmdc shows no connection
3) device manager shows no Mobile Devices section when connected
4) device manager network adapters may show mobile device services when plugged in
5) If connected in bootloader mode the device manager will show the mobile device
6) You can set up a bluetooth connection (if available on the PC) and sync properly with it
Cheers,

Shoogi, what an awesome first post! Worked perfect for me! Keep it up, great post and lots of help!

i have a problem that when I plug my device active sync connect it and charging starts but after a minute or so active sync disconnected and charging also stoped.
I have installed everything official > rom,radio,ipl/spl etc.

One Care made activesync almost unusable for me. I also had to reflash from THT's rom because I couldn't connect at all unless I hard reset. Makes no sense cause my husband can sync and he had the identical same rom.

Windows Mobile Device Center ERROR HELP!!

Ok so I'm using
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2351206" [JUNE 28] ROMeOS v2.3 [/URL]
Currently
But I was using 2.2 when this problem first occurred. After I got my Phone to sync up with the exchange server at work it stopped being able to sync up through WMDC 6.1.6965
I get a Red X with an ERROR
So I backed up my data and hard reset my device which didn't resolve the issue
After that I installed the new ROMeOS 2.3 on my device and the problem disappeared, I was able to sync through WMDC fine, but as soon as I Synced it to Exchange I lost that functionality again.
Anyone know how I may resolve this or what I may have done wrong? Is it a problem with the ROM?

Solutions for your problem could be found easier if you mention what kind off error message you get. Different errors need different sulutions.

I am using a HTC Diamond and have this EXACT problem! The error is simply a big error sign with the red x sign right? I tried ending the partnership, uninstalling device drivers and such but still cannot get it to even establish a partnership (let alone sync with errors)....THe phone shows a connected sign but it isn't even showing a connection on WMDC.
These issues happened after I used exchange server.
If anyone here has an answer, I would love to hear it too!

Double post...sorry

is there any solution to this problem
I am suffering from the same problem. I have an omnia phone, it was syncing very fine one month ago but i had to format my laptop and reinstall all the software again, afterwhich my pda totally lost its connection with my laptop.
it is connected and on my phone it shows that it is connected, but the WMDC shows a red cross with error and that's it, it doesn't give me any option to do. it is just a big green screen with a red cross on the bottom left corner.

same error here. anyone has a solution?

Just developed this problem after trying to copy over a 32gb file to my phone...
tried all the obvious: hard reset, re install wmdc, deleted partnerships
randomly started working just now, have no idea what I did. I just unplugged it a few times and re plugged it back in.
wtb baseball bat for WMDC and microsoft
EDIT... AGAIN NOT WORKING F***** Microsoft

Activesync Problem! Help!

Hi I have a fault with Activesync (Vista), I connect the USB cable to the PC and to the handset, the power indicator tells me that it's charging yet, the device is not syncronizing.
I have reset both the PC and the Device with no avail.
It was working OK about a week ago now nothing, I have not altered any settings and im running HYPERDRAGON III with radio 1.65.24.36 any suggestions???

You are required to search before posting, and seeing as this is a common problem I don't think you have met the requirements.

This is sort of an "advanced" users forum. If you don't search first, you won't get much help on here. Look at the top right, see the "search" click it, type in something and it should help you out. This is a very common problem, asked and answered many times.

I'll take a moment and try to help. It's just as easy as telling you to search.
I found a thread or two (the search is really time consuming. I don't find it to work all that great...find too much stuff unrealted to what you need). And they didn't help.
What I am only just not realizing is that it seems that the firewall with the Virus software may be interferring. If I turn off the firewall long enough to synch, it works.
What a pain, but that's what's working for me.
Never had this problem on XP.

Chillin like a Dylan

Thanks for the support and advice. I have followed instructions yet problem still pesists.
I have disabled firewall and Anti-Virus to no avail. When connecting the USB cable usually I hear a notification that the device is attached but this doesn't happen. Very puzzling!

Awesome problem solved. Reinstalled Wdinows Mobile Centre and all works ok now. Im not sure if this has any similarity but I know there was a Vista update the other day which may of interfered with the device drivers. Not sure.
But all is working well!

It'll be interesting to see if it keeps working well. INstalling WMDC was my first attempt at fixing. It appeared to fix, but the next time I went to synch, it didn't work again.
I spent the next 2-3 weeks reinstalling WMDC every tiem I wanted to sync, and it would sync.
I remain only able to do it if I disable my firewall (or reinstall WDMC, which I'm tired of). Of course, that could be vendor specific problem. I am using Trend Micro on my PC.

Nope issue still reminas, I'm pretty sure its the connectors in the Mini USB, on reading other forums I have discovered that the Mini USB port has been known to malfunction. This is due to the design of the port and the fact the cables shipped with the device are standard and not customised for the device.
I just wiggle around the socket a few times and hey it works (fingers crossed). Might justbrick it and order a replacment that will work if I can't sync any more.

I have also noticed that you have to wait after a soft reset for all of the programs to fully load. ESPECIALLY if you use BB Connect.
I believe this to be the true reason why rebooting a PC sometimes helps... it gives the Kaiser enough time to fully start.

instead of reinstalling WMDC, just make sure the service required to connect your device to your computer is running.
I believe its called windows mobile based connectivity. You wont be able to connect with that on manual. Switch it to automatic, as it sometimes likes to switch back to manual especially after a ROM flash.

**FRIENDS AGAIN** Activesync argument after 8yr friendship

I’ve had the diamond for approx 1 month and regularly sync it to my work and home pc running XP and Vista respectively. Up until now I’ve never had a problem with activesync to any of my past smartphones or PPC’s.
My diamond has all of a sudden decided that it doesn’t want to sync anymore. It connects ok and I can transfer files back and forth it just won’t sync.
I’ve searched the forum and found similar symptoms but nothing has worked.
I’ve deleted the partnership from the device and both pc’s, created new partnerships which on first connection does actually sync (sometimes) but from then on either says “looking for changes” or “synchronising” until it times out giving the error message “Synchronising cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft Activesync Troubleshooter in Microsoft Help on your desktop computer”
I’ve tried the help, I’ve let it do its own diagnostic, I’ve unchecked the “enable advanced network functionality” option in USB to PC. I’ve soft reset, hard reset, the only thing I haven’t done is re-flash a new rom.
Does anybody know if flashing a new rom/radio will solve the problem. I would normally just try it but I spent an hour yesterday after I hard reset putting everything back to the way I like it only to find that it synced the first time but wouldn’t work again.
If anyone has any other suggestions before a re-flash I would welcome them. Otherwise I’ll bite the bullet and hope for the best.
I’m currently running Duttys V1.6 Radio version 1.00.25.07

I Had this problem
Hey fella, i was having this problem and after doing a little research i found the following.. If you constantly activate and deactivate the mobile (pair and unpair) you can corrupt A/S on the system. The only way i got around this was to uninstall active sync and re-install it again.
Hope this helps...!

I've never been able to get activesync to work harmoniously between relationships with two PCs.
Most syncs with a second machine after successful syncs with a first tend to result in errors that require my intervention, especially if an item of data has been changed. Drives me mad sometimes, and I often need to spend more time fixing these errors than it would take to manually update stuff across my three devices. I get the feeling the comparison/processing engine activesync uses is no where near sophisticated or clever enough to carry out the processing, and when it does have errors, the scope for my intervention to help it in its quandary are fairly hopeless.
I'm hoping that as devices like the diamond bring this lets face, it fundamentally great, but nevertheless fundamentally flawed platform to the masses, then Microsoft will have to put more effort into activesync and how it copes with relationships across two (or perhaps even more in future) PCs.
Ps, neomagik, actual connection, which sometimes has hiccups, has never been a big problem for me, (a few minutes in the various settings usually sorts these), but I've been using activesync for about 4 years before my diamond with with my HP4700 and various double PC partnerships along the way, and can confidently say that the problems I describe are not device related, but are the result of activesync inadequacies.

Thanks fyew-jit-tiv but I've tried that already. Also, it wont sync to WMDC in Vista either and it's unlikely that the same fault occured in AS and WMDC at the same time. This is what leads me to believe it's the Diamond and not the PC's.

Been there, done that....
Suprised you've not had this issue earlier...I've been suffering with Activesync issues for years
There are lots of ways to diagnose and resolve but perhaps you just might want to get the sledgehammer out...this mostly works for me....(I hope your familiar with Outlook!)
On one PC (I would use the XP "older" Op system one) export your synced data from Outlook to a .pst or .ost file for backup and later import (after delete & tidy stuff you no longer need in Calander/Contacts/Tasks, etc)
then
Delete all your data in Outlook, create a new empty .pst (connect to same), delete old .pst
then
delete partnership with device (to be sure), and remove same data (Contacts/Calander etc) from device
then
You can then check the exported/saved .pst for errors (I can't remember the MS programme...google for it), once satisifed OK import all you info back into Outlook
then
Synchronise with new partnership to device.
Hopefully so far so good
(sometimes I even rename the device-partnersip etc in case something "residual" there stays behind and corrupts something )
Next
Prior to connecting device with WORK PC:
Delete all previously synced data in Outlook and delete partnership there. I then make sure that in Activesync (before establishing new partnership) that I click option for one way data transfer ie replace items on computer with those from device
then
...plug in and establish new partnership, hopefully no problems....data populates computer from device. Once established then put back how you prefer data to be transfered (if there is a conflict etc)
Return home and partnership there still synchronised, Hopefully this works
If you find that there are still issues, you can un-Check and Check each synced area (Contacts, Calander, Tasks, Synced Files) independently to see where the conflict is.....
...I have found conflicts mostly occur with:
i) Calander: Birthdays/Anniversarys (probably as they are extended recurring events)
ii) Calnder: Meetings etc that might be recurring
There are real issues if using old versions of Outlook (2000 for me at work ) syncing with most recent ones!!
Sorry for the mad typing but best I can do for a "Quick" reply....Good luck !!

Studz, I know what you mean, I often get errors where it asks you to "resolve item" and after a while of playing it usually works. This is different, it won't sync at all.

Presume you have done the most obvious, and that is un-install and re-install Activesync and the Vista sync programme on both PC's ?

I had this once I think a year or so back. Tried so many things that I can't remember what finally fixed it.
I think a good place to start though, like PJ6363 says, is do a clean sweep... re-install activesync on both machines, and I would also reinitialise your Outlook Account (.pst) on the master PC and delete on all other devices.
Good luck, and tell us how you get on.

Neomagik... Sorry i could help any further fella.. As i said in last post i had this problem and i just re-installed A/S... The only other thing i done after i un-installed A/S was to run a registry cleaner.!
P.s i don't think is down to the Diamond. I Was having this problem with the Touch (elf) too...

well, i have similar issue w/ sync and finally, i solved the problem by changing the sync cable.

Thanks folks,
I'm going to try all of these.
@ Snufkin, I'm using two different sync cables so I know this is not the problem.

My diamond did funny things when the screen would turn off quickly after connecting because i set it not to charge when connected. Gave all sorts of weird errors.
Now, screen stays on because i want it to charge and sync completes now, still takes a while though.

You guys are aware that WM6.1 has a problem syncing with 2 computers, aren't you?
Some people claim they managed to do it and I believe them, only none of the voodoo worked for me. Never had that problem with WM5 and 6.

there is a long thread about this issue somewhere conclusion 100% in wm 6.1 you can not sync with 2 PC. this is a wm 6.1. related problem.
i can sync with 2 pC my athena with wm 6 but i can not do it with the diamond or trinity. don't even try it. it will mes you the whole outlook!

Sync with WM6.1....off course u can!
Been syncing my Kaiser and now Diamond with WM6.1 for well over a year with 2 PC's. Must have done it at least 20 times with various devices and ROM's. Kicker is that my work has W2000 & O2000, and at home I use XP and O2007....still works!!
I'm not saying I don't occasionally have issues...but I do carry more than 1000 contacts and and extended calander with numerous recurring entries
.....like I've posted before (as many others) there are issues, but nothing insurmountable. I'd be lost if I could not sync my work PC, homw PC and PDA
Read around and you'll see........

here u are, i found the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377823
i tried long and hard to sync my diamond with 2 pc. all i got is errors and double tasks and appointments. got tired and gave up! my contacts list is too precious to play with!. i do have over 600 contacts and 1300 numbers (tlf, mobile, fax).
in order to have my diamond sync with 2 pc i syinc it with one, then i sync my athena and sync with the second....lol...this is my way to have 2 pc and 2 htc devices in sync.

I had my Diamond (and previous Trinity) synced with 2 pc's. No major problems until now.

It's dead
OK, I have tried the steps suggested by PJ6363 with no success. It won’t sync to the first pc let alone the second.
I then decided to dig out the old C500. After blowing the dust off I hard reset to clear out any info left on it. Plugged it in and hey presto, immediate sync. Unplugged it and tried again, another sync. Added a contact whilst synced and it updated straight away.
I then deleted all partnerships on pc and diamond and plugged it in. It went through the usual setup and connected to the device as before but surprise surprise, no sync.
Does this not mean that the data on the PC is fine and it is a problem with the Diamond, possibly a hardware problem?
Unless anyone else can suggest anything I’m going to flash a new rom but I have a strong suspicion it will not make a difference.

It looks like something other than what I have been pointing out....see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377823
I think you need to get serious and re-install the actual software itself on the device (hard reset), appears that Activesync on PC's is good...but would re-install there anyway!!
Look at it this way, you have found a sweet excuse to update your ROM withthe latest version and clean up your contacts/calander etc....should not be an issue with a fresh ROM install (try SwiftB 6.0....excellent!!)...let us know how you get on

Ah ha....forgot something critical...if you are syncing using older version of Windows (2000) or Outlook ...or any issues syncing for that matter, then I found that you MUST go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and turn off Enable Advanced Network Functionality...have you done this?

What happend here? time for a new phone?

Dear All,
I am now reading over the forums for about three days. But still I dont have a solution for my sync problem. The problem is that after I flashed my kaiser it won't connect to activesync. But the STRAINGE think is, that when I put it in bootloader the computer does regonize my kaiser, and I can flash another rom on it.
I also got a MDA touch and when I am connecting that one to my computer, everything workes fine. So the problem is not in the computer. What did i already tried:
- turned off the advance USB settings on the kaiser
- reinstalled my whole WINXP and try to connect
- reflash in VISTA and WINXP
- Put the original ROM back
- check if the repplog is in the Windows file
- Put the firewall off
- Googled on every thinkeble words
So i think that the problem is in te phone, because my touch is normaly connecting. The only thing my kaiser is doing now is when i put in on the computer is recharing.
Does sombody have the knowlegde of getting my kaiser back to sync? It will let me sleep a lot better!
Regards,
Gertjan

usually truing off the option (Enable faster data synchronization) fix the problem...
this is the first time time I read about such problem that was not fixed by all you did...
there are some other things, they may not work, but they're worth of a try:
1. try flashing different radio, not only ROM
2. try changing the USB port on your PC
3. did you try syncing with another PC?
I had a similar problem with one of my PCs, it used to sync with no problems, then it stopped! the other PC i have syncs with no problems
all I did is disable the option (Enable faster data synchronization) in USB to PC in the connections tab
I really hope you'll find a fix soon

Do you use Dashwire? I have to kill the Dashwire process to make sync work... Just wondering?

If I understand your post correctly, you have 2 active sync devices. Are they by any chance named the same? I had that problem with my HP 3955 which is nothing more than a universal remote now but I charge it with my computer and it connects to active sync. Anyways long story short I named my phone Ron_Mobile when I got it which is what my PDA is named and I had active sync problems.

Sorry didnt help

Thank you for your reply, i did all the things you suggested. And still nothing changed. I flashed a diffirent radio, changed the USB port and I alrady tried to sync with serveral other computers. The strainge thing was, that after a reflash of the ROM of Athene (that I use mostly) I suddenly get this problem, and before I didn't have this problem at all...
well hope that someone else can help me.

Dashwire? didn't know the existing of this service, so i searched it up. This service is a very good alternative for the time that I dont have activesync to work.

you might want to reflash the rom. i had the same problem after using -G- series 4 for almost 3-5 months, all of a sudden activsync stop working for some odd reason. so i reflashed with the latest -g- rom and now everything works.

I had the same problem. It happened when I flashed one of g-roms on my vista laptop. what I did was uninstalled and then reinstalled wmdc because apparently what had happened is something messed up with the drivers that recognizes my phone. I also hardreset just for good measure. I hope that helps.

Nope didnt work, also tried on other computers and reflashed couple of times...

Same problem
Yes, I had the same problem as you. Some ROM will do that and some will pass that ActiveSync with no problem. Personally, I had to go back to the ATT original ROM and ActiveSync works again. Strange, but true.

I had the same issue a week ago...it ended up being the usb port on the phone...had to have it replaced. But--since you can still flash via usb, that probably isn't the problem.
I would uninstall active synch or mobile device center reboot and reinstall...then connect the device.

ok I had a strange problem last night with my wife's G1, it made me think of this thread. I solved her problem and I doubt you have the same problem but here goes anyways.
My wife just got a G1. I plugged it into my computer to load some MP3's on it for her since the G1 is supposed to act like a MicroSD card reader. It started charging but no USB connection was detected. It worked on her computer but not mine. After an hour or so I finally figured it out. The USB cable I use for my kaiser has a 3 foot USB extension on it. after using a different cable without an extension it worked. Try another USB cable.
P.S. "load some MP3's on it for her" HAHAHA I just wanted to play with her new toy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Broken?
Thanks for all the reply people, but still no succes Can the damn thing also just be broken??
