activesync 4.1 problems

I have a siemens sx66 .When i had 2003 on my phone activesync 4.1 was great. Now that i have wm5 it is so hard to geat them to connect. It will not sync anything. When i have my phone in the cradle activesync on my computer says not connected and the phone says connected. Is there a patch or fix for this problem? Thanks LuXx

Finally got it to work. I had to turn off my zone alarm fire wall when i made the first connection. Now i can turn on the zone alarm and install programs and copy files to and from ppc. If i need to sync contacts then i have to turn off my fire wall. I've tried messing with the settings in zone alarm but nothing i do works on syncing with my fire wall on. Hope this can help someone.Thanx

I have the same problem. But I have no firewall installen on my PC. My XP SP2 firewall is disabled.
I have tried uninstalling, and installing Active Sync 4.1 but still the same. No syncing occurs, ActiveSync says not connected while mye Blueangel says connected.
Strange thing is, that if I connect over IR I can sync my phone. Just not with USB. I have both a cradle and a loose cable and none of them work.

Beside the firewall, check your network interface. ActiveSync 4.x will create a virtual network interface when a WM5 device is connected via USB. Check all the items (Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printing Sharing..., and TCP/IP) of the virtual NIC.

Did you look in Wiki..?
Hi All,
After all the common problems that you describe did any of you look in Wiki..?
Here's what's pasted about WM5 and Active Sync:
Wiki said:
Desktop and Acivesync 4.X
I can't sync my WM5 device now that I have upgraded.
This seems to be the case with some users and not with others.
One user reports that it works on his laptop but not on his desktop.
Firewalls are a known problem (PC-Cillin 12).
Otherwise you need to search the forums.
It seems that in some configurations Activesync does not sync some data with your Desktop PC.
Data that could be affected
Contacts
Calendar
E-mail
Tasks
Files, Notes and Favorites can sync OK. ?AvantGO Connect could sync OK. In such case check you have an Exchange connection on your desktop Outlook application. If that's the case, you should sync your device having a live Exchange connection first. After that, you should synchronize "offline" (i.e. without Exchange connection) without problems.

The problem I have now is when I connect to activesync I loose my internet connection on the laptop. Anyone have any ideas?
Also anyone know where to get some boot screens?

Active Sync doesnt work after upgrade

Hi !!!
The issue looks like this that i upgraded my PDa to WM5, everything is working it was latest HElmi ROM . BT Wifi GPS GSM everything is great , working very fast, upgrade took me 20 min and a bottle of vine . But after upgrade i cannot sync to PC , i uninstalled sync installed one more time didnt help. I have 4.5 version of sync.
Please help me !!!
I really need to sync i have to install my GPS maps and without sync is imposible

When you have upgraded your PDA you will have to set up a new partnership in Active Sync. To do this you disconnect your PDA, open up Active Sync and then in menu File -> Delete mobile device.
Then when you reconnect Activesync should recognize it as a new device and you can setup synchronisation.
Good luck

not really, i already reinstalled the connection, i used it before so im familiar with that , but thx for trying. I sure that this is combined with that upgrade to WM5 it was working fine on 2003SE

You know what ?? i notice that when im plug in the PPC its creates a LAN connection on my computer and try to acquire IP , cant connect active sync error cant connect and on a PPC error cannot acquire the IP ... if i remember right i never had a connection , LAN connection before i installed that WM5 ... i tried disabling firewall, antyvirus , disable my internet ( its a USB modem ), im even ready to reinstall the whole windows if i have to ...... help guys !!!!

Two things to try:
Set the IP as static in the RNDIS-Adaptor (I don't have my angel handy to tell the settings)
Disable the Advance Network Functionality. (Start -> Settings -> Connections tab -> USB to PC)
Really, I'm not even sure what the RNDIS (advanced network settings) are even good for. I've not seen any less network related functionality with it disabled.

thx man... i will try in about 1 h , im at work right now, i set to class C 192.168.0.1 maybe it will work
thx a lot hopefully this will be the last post

and .... it wont work.... i getting confused..... damn SYNC

No, a class C won't work.
I just plugged in my hermes using the 'Advanced Network Functionality' and it showed an IP of 169.254.2.2. If you want to try wth that IP with the remote-NDIS host 'network card' (I think that's the one to change), go for it.
Really, I'd just disable the advanced network crap and be done wth it. Activesync is such a hack IMO, it's not worth the headache.

Yo Bro!!

Well the i just guessing the simplie thing.. Since u say u upgraded to WM5 i guess u upgrade your BA from WM 2003 to WM5?
if that true.. then u only need to change your Active Sync 4.1 to Active Sync 4.5..
WM5 n WM6 works only with Active Sync 4.5 bro!!
u can download it from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx
happy trying..!!

its already on 4.5 dude .... and the IP 169.254.X.X its the self assigned IP address by the card , i normal circumstances it means on network that there is limited or no connectivity , but what have left ??? i will try ...wish me luck

Yes, I am quite aware of the IP and it's use, however, that is the IP range that activesync uses.
Remember, activesync acts like a NAT or bridge between the phone and the network(s) the computer is attached to.
I think it was the hermes forum that someone tried assigning the IP manually and it worked for them.

nope, it will not work, now the LAn connection created by the phone gives limited connectivity , on auto IP assigning its saying connected on the IP 169.254.2.2 , i can see recived and send send packets but the SYNC after 1 min of "connecting" timed out and says cannot connect.... its weird that its sending/receiving and SYNC is ****ed up....

HAHAHAHAH !!!!! 2 bottles of vine , 1 beer, 2 packs of cigarettes... if done IT !!!!!! you whant to know how ?????

Well Then..

Well..
- Async for the WM2003SE is Async 4.1
- Async for the Wm 5 & 6 is Async 4.5 won't work if us 4.1
since u have uninstaled the 4.1 and instaled the 4.5..
this is my ultimate opinion for u..
1. try to sync your BA to ur any friends PC which has not been instaled by Async => then instal tha Async4.5 to your friends PC n connect it via USB, then lets see what happen..?
2. try to Sync Your BA with any of ur friends PS which has Windows Vista.. it has built in Window Mobile Device Center.. n see if ur device can connect n sync with your friends's Vista?
3. if the 2 options in above doesn't work too.. it means your WM5 have some trouble in active sync bro(maybe).. then all u have to do just Re-Upgrade it..
maybe u should try WM6 ROm 6.10.00 made by Explode.. i have it instaled on my BA.. it it works wonderfuly n fast! n the Asnyc normal too.. since i have my BA being custumized from WM2003 to WM5, From WM5 toWM6(5.60.00), From WM6(5.60.00) to WM6(6.10.00) "I Never Changed my Local Area Connection to my device" i'm not even touch that area after all..
after i read your tread i try to see my Internet Protocol Settings(propeties) n it was Setted to Receive IP Automaticly..!
have i nice try bro!!
Glad to help You There.. Hope u solve the problem soon.. God Bless U

I can sync but NOT ALL things sync - i have posted elsewhere in xda-developers but I am VERY confuised.
Only SOME of my calender and SOME of my inbox sync. I am on PDAviet's rom (I tried xplodes but same issue), I use activesync 4.5 and office 2007 on my PC.
The only thing I haven't tried is re-installin outlook 2007. Is there anything else I can try - I REALLY NEED TO SYNC MY CALENDER (and other items)
Thanks!

What errors are you getting?
Also, have you tried deleting your activesync pairing and recreating it?

I'm not getting any errors - it just only syncs some items and not others - why I can't figure out.
I have deleted and add numerous times - no difference. very very confusing ???

Are you using Vista or XP. If it's XP, you have to go into Settings=> Connections => USB to PC => check "Enable advanced network functionality"
In Vista, it needs to be unchecked. The problem is when you do this, ActiveSync in your PDA should have an option to connect via USB but it doesn't. I now cannot sync in Vista except by using bluetooth. I remember after buying the HTC Touch Cruise that you need the "Getting Started" installation CD to install the USB driver. I have since returned the Cruise and am back to my Siemens SX66.

ActiveSync does not work

hey guys,
im new here and its also my first ppc.
ive got the following problem:
me (or my ppc) is not able to connect with activesync...
wtf can i do??
plz help me, thx,

Install AS 4.5
Then connect your phone. Windows will first detect it as a new USB device and then AS will kick in and ask to set up a partnership.
Exactly what is going wrong with yours?

so, here we go:
ive got as 4.5 on my pc and ive recognized also that some other guys (even with older as) could connect to my ppc...
so, what is thie fckn prob??

ok, i connest my ppc to the pc, its asking:
harddrive
or
as,
im typing as and its saying there isnt installed as 4.5
and the pc sais: no connection do u want to start the fixing??
(everythings translated by myself from german, plz ignore the faults)
grtz

i read that if you're using a usb hub it would not connect. you must have the usb cable connect straight to your pc's usb port.
and if nothing works the last solution is to hard reset your pocket pc for a frest start and see if it can connect then.

2nd that. Try another USB port on your PC. Sounds like there's either the driver missing (which should only be the case if you do not have Active Sync installed)
OR
try to disable the "Advanced network functionality". Can be found at 'Settings > Connections > USB to PC'. (Einstellungen, Verbindungen, USB zu PC oder so).

Do you have some sort of firewall software?
like, ZoneAlarm or antivirus with firewall?
disable them or allow the port as trusted and you should be fine

jeah,
thanks for this many posts, but ive got all these probs outa my way, these are all the things ive thought they may disturb the connection... but (im sorry) theyre no solution for my fckn prob, as told, my ppc connects to other pcs(with older as)but not to mine with the newest as ...
so, lets think how to manage it...

try rebooting the host PC or just kill mobsync.exe, wmdc.exe and WmdHost.exe in taskmanger. Then open Sync software again. Works for me.

thats an answer
thx a lot, ill try tomorrow...
all the wa<y, sometimes, when i stay the ppc connected and reboot my pc it works, but dont sync anything, its just "connected"...
ill try and post my answer soon.

I think i have found a solution for you.
Follow:
Start Menu > Configuration > Connections > Click on the icon called "USB à ordinateur" (my phone is in french so i think it will be for you " USB" or "USB to PC")
It's written: Choose the connection type to PC
Select active Sync and uncheck the case just under (it is " activate the feature advanced networking")
And that is !!
TRY and say me..

Hi the diamond is my first PPC as well. I connected it in my PC and was able to use it as a HD. however i am having doubts of just unplugging it afterwards but i did just unplugged it after use.
On my second attempt. Diamond notified me if i will sync or use the HD i accidentally hit sync. but it required a password. I unplugged it and the problem beginned.
There is no Start Menu. so i did the soft reset on the red button below the stylus. It worked now, however the home screen does not have the Large Digital Clock now.
Can someone help me to display it back i have tried to check it in the Today menu. however it is still not appearing.
Pls.. help a new PPC user. Thank you.

Try the search engine before you post, recently there where alot of topics on ActiveSync not working. Anyway, the way your PPC will act when you connect it to a USB port can be setup in setting, connections, usb to pc. Mark Diskdrive or ActiveSync.
There you should also unmark the advanced network functionality. Check it off and try again.
Rgds,

Thanks, by the way do you know how to display the Large Digital Clock again in Home. It was lost after i tried to soft reset my hanging Diamond.
Do you think it will appear again if i do a Hard Reset? Thanks.

A Hard Reset should bring it back to it's default value so yes I see no problem there ...

Activesync wont connect any more !

Tried this on two PCs with Activesync on now...
When I connect, the phone pops up the message about whether to use activesync or disk. If I choose disk, I can happily copy stuff from PC to phone.
However, if I choose activesync, it doesnt connect on the PC. I've tried manually connecting activesync on the PC, but it just doesnt find the phone.
Any ideas?

Did you use bluetooth to sync on that pc? If I sync over bluetooth and after that I try to sync by wire I get the same problem as you discribe .
I didn't try to find a way out just keep on syncing true bluetooth but one of the solutions maid be to remove the phone from active sync at your pc and setup a new connecion.
Willem

Nah. Just USB.
I just installed active sync for first time on my laptop here and it wont find. I'm wondering if its something on the actual phone I've deleted or something ?

Hi
Do you use Windows XP or Vista?
On Vista there are many problems but almost all are solved now just do a search on sync Vista in this forum and you maid find the solution.
Willem

Hi guys, I have similar problem. I can sync over BT but does not work over USB.
This problem is on my Vista laptop .
If I connect device with USB, I can find "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in Device manager. In Network center, I can find new connection using this WMR adapter. But system is not able to assign IP adress for this connection.
Thats probably a reason why sync does not work.
I was trying reinstall Windows mobile center, disable antivirus, firewalls, update drivers...everything. Still does not work.
Any hints are appreciated.
Thanks Ladis

I have the same issue with windows vista and dutty 3.6 rom. It worked fine last time I tried in December, but I tried again yesterday and stopped working...

i have Duttys 3.6b, it was working perfectly. Stopped working after Vista reinstall... so its pretty weird

I found when using my laptop in battery mode activesync wont work but as soon as i switch to high performance mode everything is fine i guess its to do with voltage to the usb in diffeent modes

I'll probably try to flash there last Dutty's ROM V4 and see if there is some different

Hi,
I had the same problem when i change the ROM.
Go to Start -> Configuration -> Connections -> USBtoPC and below ActiveSync appers a sentence and comment to uncheck this item if you are facing problems with ActiveSync.

Diamond cant connect to activesync?

Hello everyone,
I just bought an used HTC Diamond, it runs WM 6.5 Professional (OS 5.2.21891), and the problem is that the device cant connect to activesync. When i plug the USB it charges but Activesync doesnt apear, when I start Activesync it isnt connected. In device manager there are no new devices... Activesync is the latest version, and PC is running Windows 7. On HTC the settings USB to PC its on Activesync and the square Enable faster data synchronization is on...
Sorry for my bed English,
Thanks in advance!

Diamond runs wm6.1 officially. wm6.5 must be a cooked ROM. No idea... Have you done a hard reset? That may help.

If you´re using WIN7, u can´t be using ActiveSync, must be Windows Mobile Device Center.
