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

Sure, what was the fix?

hard reset didn't help, try it several times... I reinstalled the sync ..didn't help ... I chrck if it work on boot loader it find him ... well I did reinstall the ROM using reset holding camera+record, select 3 option button mail.. windows reinstall ..and ladys&gentelmen we got fully funcionall BA ... everything just works perfect and fast... I installed my GPS,wi-fi works goog, phone Ok. The only thing that doesn't work is stereo headset bluetooth hhd-750 siemens ...I can discover but can't sync with phone

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,
LuFo

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??
again: plz help, what should i do?

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 ...

usbtool won't do it anymore =/

Hey guys,
I received my Shift today and l liberated it. Usbtool worked for a couple of times, now it won't do it anymore. I searched the whole board up and down but i could not find an useful answer.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks so far!

Some things that may make it work:
1. Try disconnecting your Shift from the 3G/2G network (this is best done in Vista and WINMO). In effect, you can only recieve SMS in this mode and no internet.
2. If the above does not work, try turning your Modem off (in Vista or WinMo, does not really matter) prior to using the USB.
3. Try above and increase Vista power setting to High Performance
4. Try 2 and 3 and have the Shift plugged into the wall.
The big issue is that the Modem (3G connectivity) is great, but shares the same "USB" connection that the USB Tool will use to connect to the Shift. As such, they two do not play nice. When in a 3G area, I always turn the modem off before synching the WinMo side with Vista. Since I normally only synch once or twice a day, this is not a problem for me.
Have fun!

Hey,
okay I tried your hints. I even reinstalled Windowsmobile and did the HardSPL thingy again. But the same problem: It won't work anymore. I guess it's a Vista Bug, I'll try system recovery if I've got some time to do so...

Try it while vista is connected to a wifi network, I find this works best.

it seems that this is an old problem. You can try go to the winmo's Settings->Connections->USB to PC, uncheck the "enable advanced network".
Then try sync again. However, I have found this created another problem, the winmo will hangup occasionally.
To solve this problem, you need to go back and check "enable advanced network". The best way is unchecked to sync, checked after you finish the sync.

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.

partly solved....

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 installed the latest Garmin but still no succes..

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??

Help! Suddenly can't sync!![solved]

Hi,..i'm using
HTC touch 3g window mobil 6.1
rom version:1.40.707.2
rom date: 10/24/08
for probably 3 months.. sync very well with my pc xp sp2, Active Sync 4.5, office outlook 2000...
normally it would show the choice of active sync or disk drive or internet sharing.. it will still sync if i didn't select for a few seconds...
but last 2 days it give me screen as 1st attachment below
and cannot sync at all...
i had tried:
1) i go to start/setting/connection/USB to PC to select and deselect the check on the "Ask me 1st.." and "Enable faster data.." like below 2nd attachment..
2) soft reset
3) remove active sync and reinstall..(and reboot pc)
what else i can do?.. my last step would be hard reset but with so much data to back up and apps to install, so would like to ask advice b4 i do that..
i still can use it as USB Drive though, to transfer my Storage Card by select Disk Drive....

i had this issue, try syncing with the "enable faster syncing" disabled after you attempt to sync, even if it doesnt sync turn it back on and then try. do the same process after closing OUTLOOK from taskmanager. sync should work after this.

karthiksk,
Thanks for speedy reply... at 1st i thought i already done that, but with ur advice i tried again... finally it sync again (but the Internet Sharing still pop up 1st).. but can't sync if i turn on "Enable faster data.." again..
Just curious what had happen, the "ask 1st.." choices of connection never pop up anymore ... Maybe future hard reset would get it back...
Anyway this solve my need to sync for current usage ... many thanks again... u r a life saver....

Am unsure of what the problem is, but what goes without saying is that its a bug in the ROM. glad to see i was of some help.
