I synchronized my wizard previously only with my notebook using USB, this worked ok.
Now when I connect my Wizard via USB it synchronizes and alll, but WLAN on my host computer breaks totally! Even after disconnecting I can't get it running, it connects for a second, then disconnects. I have to reboot to get it usable again...
Any ideas? I am stuck here.
ps. One thing to note is that when connecting my wizard for the first time, it did not work out of the box. I had to search for RNDIS, drivers to be supplied with active sync I read.
USB Sync causes wlan disconnection on laptop
I read recently where they figured out that it was the wlan drivers on the laptop that was the culprit. By chance do you have an Intel 2200BG wlan card or chipset? If so, you need the 9.0.4.8 version drivers. Even the version 10 stack has the same problem as the older ver sion 9 drivers.
If you have version 10.X of the driver and intel pro software connection manager, uninstall them and go and download http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Detail_Desc.aspx?&DwnldID=10112&ProductID=1784
and install it. It is the 9.0.4.8 wireless driver and accompanying Intel Connection Manager.
I hope this helps.
yeah, I got Intel 2200GB by chance but I also already got 9.0.4.8 :-( ****!
Maybe I'll have to deinstall it once again. I deacativated some windows stuff folling an advice from here, but it did not help either... (http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm)
Hi!
Just a question to understand your problem... Why do you need a WLAN when your device is connected to Active Sync?
AS 4.x builds up an additional Network. If you do an ipconfig /all on your notebooks dos-prompt you'll see this. Your notebook now is your default gate for IP-traffic. Yur device now uses your computer as a sort of proxy for any kind of network connection.
If your WLAN wouldn't be 'disabled' your device now would have two default gates which be confusing it ;-) I suppose why the developers simply disabled any other networking stuff except AS. BTW if you have a look into your PPCs connection manager you'll notice that Wireless isn't disconnected at all, just the router connection is 'sleeping'. When you disconnect USB wireless immediately comes back to life...

WLan problems...
Sorry it didn't work... I read that on http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/ somewhere...
What version of ActiveSync do you have? 4.0 had some problems that 4.1 was SUPPOSED to fix.
mikrolinux
What he is saying is that whenever he connects his device to sync it, his LAPTOP wireless connection is killed, rendering him without internet for his laptop to become a proxy. Once this happens, it is difficult or aggravating to be able to activate or enable the wireless afterward.
@mikrolinux
Not WLAN on the wizard, WLAN on my *host*.
Here is what ipaqkiller quoted:
# If you are using 802.11b or 802.11g with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) encryption on your PC, you may be able to sync your device with your PC however 802.11g connection may be disconnected. Other users have been able to reconnect after rebooting their PC without their device connected. A workaround would be to use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and MAC address filtering in lieu of WPA. In some cases upgrading the 802.11g card driver resolves the problem. This is known to work with Intel's 2200BG driver and Intel PROSet/Wireless version 9.x or 10.x including 10.1.0.3.

the work around is to use HTC usb switch, use serial instead of RDNIS...
THANKS! although your answer was a bit minimalistic and I had to google a lot - only to find the required files USBSwitch_PPC.cab in this forum
well now it works, but I have to redo this after soft resets...
is this problem known, who is to blame for this, intel, microsoft, htc?

This fix worked for me. I was running 9.0.3.6 (I think) of the Intel 2200BG drivers. I noticed that connecting my T-Mobile MDA to my laptop's USB port not only killed my laptop's WLAN connection, it also killed my wife's connection on her laptop. So whatever was happening, it was taking out my router (a Netgear DG834G). I'd have thought a wireless client shouldn't be able to do this and that there should be a patch for my router, else this little feature could be used maliciously...
If you can remember the link to the article you read, ipaqkiller, I'd be interested to read it.
Many thanks for the post that solved a long standing problem for me.
aparrently many people still do search the cab, here it is again USB
some keywords: usb switch usbswitch active sync rndis usb serial
but after reading gnik65's post, I wonder who should fix this ... interesting ... feature
Finally thanks to this CAB I can use my phone properly and sync with it. :lol:
I use my laptop over a USB wireless adaptor and it always killed it. Could only get it to work again with a system restore.
If someone could amend the CAB to make Serial the default that would be the final solution as I could potentially still kill the connection after a soft reset
WOW! Thank you so much!!!!!!!! Activesync was playing HAVOC with my Intel 2915ABG on my Dell Latitude D810.
Cheers once again.
I also echo this statement
"If someone could amend the CAB to make Serial the default that would be the final solution as I could potentially still kill the connection after a soft reset"
this would be fantastic.
Need help. Trying to set up blue tooth on cingular 8125. Just bought new kensington bt and it set up serial com as com 4 and 5. The phone only gives u the option of com 6 and com 7. Any ideas? The BT does connect to phone but activesync cant find phone. Tried activsync 4.1 and 4.2. Thanks in advance for help.
I'm having the same trouble. i scoured this and other forums but can't find any info on this problem. I think we may need to upgrade the rom on our phones. I'm still running the stock rom and i think if we upgrade that might correct the problem.
I talked to the support team at HTC about this issue, they say that the activesync feature is a function of the drivers that are loaded onto your PC. If you pair your phone and don't see activesync as an available option, then try to upgrade or reinstall your BT driver. I wouldn't have thought it would work, but a simple uninstall and reinstall of my existing bluetooth software fixed the problem for me.

This is the simpliest method to fix the problem.
I had many bad rounds of this and finally did a reinstall of the bluetooth and then Active"stink" (crappy program for many reasons).
You have to make sure that you can identify the port that you 8125 establishes a bluetooth session with beforee you try to sync with. This port number is used in Activesync to know which port to talk through.
Please make sure that in the connections of Activesync that you choose the port for which you identified as bluetooth connected to your device.
THEN try to re-establish a bluetooth Activesync connection from your 8125 (pair it if you need to) and "bing" there should the option for Activesync.

If you guys still have problems with this after let me know. I played with this for a few hours about a month ago and could retrace my steps. A couple of phone reboots after setting up the ports helped
Just to add, I noticed that once I upgraded the ROM to Summiter's 2.25 I was able to walk out of BT range and when I returned re-sync via ActiveSync without doing a soft-reset of the phone.
As SK7575 said, be sure to post there are plenty of folks using this connectivty option and it does work....
And I had this working - nicely syncing between my cingular 8125 and laptop via BT!!
But then I tried to get my 8125 to connect to my new wireless network - which did not work - and in the process of trying everything I must have broken something, because now after trying everything imaginable I just never see that activesync service on my 8125 any more.
The last I tried was to remove all the BT serial ports from device manager after deleting them from the HP bluetooth neighborhood (I have a bigger HP laptop with built in BT).
Then rebootet and four new BT ports were found and installed. Then I told the HP software to make a new incoming port (they call it service) and got COM 5. Then I told activesync on the PC to use COM5 for syncing.
Made sure all pairing was removed. booted both the HTC and PC - paired the two - bang - no 'activesync' service.
Now I am running out of options especially as I don't know how to un- and reinstall the HP software that comes with the laptop.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gunter
I also have the HP BT stack on my laptop and ActiveStink does not sync with my MDA.
Any answers here, may help get me synced via BT.
Is the trick to see which USB port comes alive when I connect MDA via USB?
and use that on my PC for ActiveSync to listen to via BT on my laptop?
Thanks

NB
I'd be glad to hear if someone has the Belkin F8T012 USB dongle and that they have that working with bluetooth ActiveStink.
'Cause everything I've tried, I never ever see the "Activesync" profile appear on my device when pairing, I only see an available Serial Port.
Does anyone know the details of how that active sync profile is cretaed on the 'puter? If I could troubleshoot from that angle, I bet I'd have it working...

Hi,
Just got my xperia today, but I'm still new to Windows Mobile. I want to transfer media files to my phone from my mac, is there any software that can let me do this relatively easily like by drag and drop? My mac doesn't seem to even recognize the x1. Also, I have a 8gb microsd card already inserted into the phone, but it doesn't seem to recognize the memory at all. Any help would be great, thanks.
I don't have a mac, so can't help much, but there's one thing I can think of. you might have tried it already, but...
Did you try going into Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and setting this to "disk drive"? I would have thought that this makes the phone act just like a USB drive, so there wouldn't be a problem as long as the Mac can see standard USB sticks.
Active Sync certainly won't work, it being Microsoft Active Sync, but maybe as a USB "Drive" it might...
Hi ... You must use Missing Sync ... you can use it via USB or bluetooth ...
Bye.
The Missing Sync seems the most popular with Mac users - apparently really good:
http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software.html
I just use the Disk Drive option in USBtoPC.exe ...
Hey guys, thanks for the quick responses and help so far. The disk to drive has an issue because it needs a memory card to be inserted, and mine isn't being recognized for some reason. Oddly enough, whenever I unplug it from the miniUSB, the memory card suddenly becomes available. I downloaded the Missing Sync but I may have gotten a weird version or something(4.0 something) that was talking about a patch.
Feel really stupid about this. Is there any easy way to just drag and drop music and videos onto this phone?

Hi Guys,
I am using a WM5.0 Dopod 838 Pro but looking to change to experia soon. I used eltima syncmate to sync my Dopod to my Mac. The freeware works great and IMHO, it is more stable than Missing Sync.

What ROM are you running?
I will check the rom version in a second, but I remember that it was dated for the 29th of August. I got the x1 to mount as a disk drive, but I was confused about where to drag my media files for the media panel to recognize the stuff in my storage card. Not only that, but dragging and dropping was incredibly slow and I was only able to get 5-6 songs on to my phone before the lag became unbearable.
hey guys thanks for the help in the missing sync. New problem now lol. I transfered my music and vids to my memory card and the media panel read it fine. But my touchFLO3d manila HD can't seem to detect any media from the card at all. Is there any way to change this?
I got my Xperia on Friday and have spent the last 2 1/2 days trying to sync it with my Mac using Missing Sync. I was using MS V4.0.3 and then after upgrading to V4.0.4 and a hard reset (I think) things stopped working. The MS activity log said it couldn't connect to the sync client on the X1 (I also couldn't sync my old Dell Axim X51v either). I tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times but still no success. After 2 days, I binned MS thinking it was the problem and purchased Eltima's SyncMate. Again same result, couldn't connect with the sync server.
After much googling if found the following post (http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5349) in Mark Spaces forums of all places. Copied and pasted the commands into Terminal restarted and everything is fine. Good old Apple.
Hi,
Using SyncMate right now with my new X1.
I'm using the free version, so far contact syncing is ok with the only problem being certain number fields in Mac's Addressbook not showing up in the phone. But this is pretty common problem among all Mac <-> WM syncing. Just need to play around with the info fields in Mac Addressbook.
Right now the problem is the internet sharing to the phone is not working (sharing Mac's LAN connection to the phone). I know this used to work when I was using the same copy of SyncMate with a WM 5.1 Palm Tero I had borrowed. So far SyncMate doesn't seem to show the dialogue box that it discovered a internet connection and is sharing it with the phone.
Of course the Mac has working internet connection.. I'm using it now...
Any help and advice on this issue or any other Mac <-> WM tips are welcome!
As was said above, I use syncmate on my wifes. I used to use missing sync but it didn't always seem to recognise teh phone and had limited features. So I use Syncmate now. Have also tried pocketmac whcih was similar. Both softwares allow you to sync files, contacts, calander, install softwares adn will also mount the phoen as a hardisc on your mac without stopping eth phone from still being able to access it (if you put it into usb disc mode the phone no longer has access to teh memory card untill you disconnect). They can also connect wireless, usb or bluetooth.
I'd try either of the above instead of missing sync. Missing sync just didn't do the job well enough if you ask me.
As for the internet conenction issue, mine just works......have you checked teh connection settings in teh actual phone?
Hi
I tried using the free version of Syncmate with my Xperia, it doesnt recognize my phone. I am using the latest R2 ROM version. Any help ???
thanks!

can please somebody help me, i have a mac and se x1 and i cant connect on internet from my mac via x1 i tried everything over usb, bt, internet sharing, sync mate , nothing works please help.
p.s. sorry about my English
This has been posted in this forum before but here it is again … I've never successfully used my X1 as a broadband modem via USB (it has something to do with ActiveSync, I think however, I use my X1 as a modem all the time using BT).
For a BT connection:
1. Pair your X1 and Mac (using the OS X BT preference panel)
2. On the X1 start Internet Sharing - PC CONNECTION should be set to BLUETOOTH PAN and NETWORK CONNECTION to whatever your ISP requires - SELECT CONNECT down in the task bar (bottom left) - should now say CONNECTED.
3. On your Mac open the BT Preference Panel from System Preferences or the clicking on the BT status icon in the menu bar (top right of screen). Click on your Xperia device (to select it) in the left-hand side-bar. Its status should be displayed in the right-hand panel (paired - yes; connected - no). Click on the task button (the one with the cogged wheel next to the minus button, bottom left-hand corner of the BT preference panel and select CONNECT TO NETWORK - status should change to connected.
4. To disconnect - select disconnect in the task bar of Internet Sharing on the phone or disconnect from network in the Mac's BT preference panel.
The process has to be done in this order. If you don't connect to the internet with the phone first, the process fails.

Sync Xperia with mac
Hi everyone, new to the forum so bear with me. I've recently acquired the software "The Missing Sync" to be allowed to edit and fix up my phone through my mac. When I plug in my phone, the computer only recognizes it as a mass storage device and the program will not detect it. Do I need to update the firmware on the phone to up to date with the most current version of The Missing Sync? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to get GPS2Blue to work and managed to get a connection between my Kaiser and my desktop (with a dongle using the Toshiba Bluetooth stack) by creating an outgoing port on the Kaiser (start-settings-connections-bluetooth-com ports-new outgoing port-DESKTOP-next).
I am successfully paired with a Lenovo T61 using the internal bluetooth with a broadcom stack (Vista Bunsiness x64), but while the Desktop advertises 'Serial Port' and 'ActiveSync' as bluetooth services, the T61 stack only advertises 'ActiveSync' 'Wireless Stereo' and 'Headset'. As a result, I can't add an outgoing port to the laptop and GPS2Blue doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to tell the broadcom stack to tell the kaiser that it has SPP (Serial Port Profile) available for it? Using GPS2Blue over TCP/IP is not an option because the virtual com port driver currently doesn't support Vista x64.
This has been bugging me for a loooong time, I'd really appreciate any help with this. Thanks!
Lncdoc
OK, 2 things.
Firstly, GPS2Blue doesn't need an Outgoing port on the Kaiser, but an Incoming one. Then, you discover services on the phone, from the PC, and you'll have a serial port you should connect to. Not the other way around like you were saying. Now, WM6/6.1 don't let the user set an incoming port from the BT configuration page anymore, so a manual registry edit is necessary. Attached is a .reg file that will set an incoming port on COM6.
Apply this, soft reset. Then run GPS2Blue, set it to use COM6, discover services from the PC, connect to the serial port, and connect to whatever serial port the stack maps it on the PC with your GPS program.
Secondly (but now unrelated!), if from the phone you'd like to see a serial port on the PC, there are 2 solutions. Firstly look for an "add new seral port" option in your BT stack on the PC, some support multiple ones.
If there's none, you should open activesync connection page, disable serial connection. On the Phone the Arcivesync entry will now revert to serial port. To have AS again, reenable the COM port connection in AS.
Thanks a lot! That worked like a charm. After Vista with the Broadcom stack forced the use of COM9, I changed it manually to COM5 in the device manager (For reference of other people wanting to do this: Device Manager / Ports (COM & LPT) / Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COMn) / Right Click / Properties / Port Settings / Advanced / COM Port Number), since some software (like MeHere) only supports up to COM8.
Now everything works like a charm on my laptop.
Note that this weirdly enough also works with an Outgoing port on the Kaiser if you have a stack (on your PC) which broadcasts the availability of an incoming serial port (in which case the Kaiser initiates the connection, not the PC, and the COM Port sends regardless of whether something is connected or not...). Not that I'm recommending this route to anyone, but I got this working on the Toshiba stack.
Anyway, thanks a lot again, it's finally working perfectly with OziExplorer, MeHere, Google Earth.... you name it.
Lncdoc
Arrrrgggg! I am so close. The incoming BT port bit helped me to get connected but, although GPS2Blue is gettting a lock, and I appear to be connected to EarthBridge/PC, the GPS data doesn't appear to be transmitted to Earthbridge/PC. Google Earth keeps putting me off the coast of Africa instead of south Florida.
I'm about ready to go pickup a copy of Streets & Trips with GPS.
GPS2Blue 1.9
I allready got .reg file on my computer.
The only thing i don't understand is how to get the incomming port on my laptop....

Loaded the appropriate reg values...nothing. Still doesn't work. I can't see the port on the PC or Handheld under "Bluetooth Services".
Thanks kilrah

Did you get it to work with many apps? I remember one time I managed to get it set (don't know how, can't reproduce my semi-success) so I could share the ActiveSync port and in Windows I could open the COM port on PuTTY to see the NEMA output but only a couple apps recognized that there was a GPS there -- the main thing I wanted to work (inSSIDer) couldn't see any GPS.
I'd definately be interested if you came up with a reliable way to make it work.

Good luck, XP is out of the question for me because HP doesn't provide Bluetooth drivers back to before Vista. Maybe I can find a way to forward the COM port and a USB WiFi adapter through VirtualBox and use XP that way...though I've been unsuccessful with either of those so far.
Actually you can forward the USB device to Oracle's Virtualbox, I have my TP-Lnk USB WiFi forwarding into a linux virtual machine working perfectly in monitor mode with kismet and aircrack I don't think you can forward COM ports tho, but if you have an external USB bluetooth adapter you can also forward it into XP!! Will try that asap!
Thing is, I wanted to use the onboard wireless because it's way more sensitive than the external USB adapter, but it's not possible to forward it inside a virtualbox.
Ahhh computer issues.. always bugging me since 1993 XD

Unfortunately, my snow leopard device is DOA right now, so I can't test it, but I think it should be as simple as plugging it in through USB when you have "PC Internet" chosen as your USB settings. I know it works instantly on Linux (without any drivers) and on windows with the drivers installed.
According to most references, a mac doesn't require any sort of "drivers" or kexts to get our phone compatible with it, so I would suggest just plugging it in and disabling your other connections to check
no go, it finds it as a modem, but won't connect... I found something online that said to add settings here and there, but it still isn't working...
Yes, it works on my Mac computer. Either you can configure it with complicated settings without any other software, or you can use PDAnet. You can get it on the market but it is censored by AT&T so you will need market enabler or be in airport mode with the wifi on
