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

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.

Outlook synchronization on Vista

Guys:
a) Is there any tweak for speeding up Outlook synchronization on Vista? It takes over 2 hours over a USB cable!
b) Also, the Windows Mobile Device Center constantly synchronizes without user activation. The moment my Kaiser is connected to the PC via the USB cable, the synchronization starts. After taking 2 hours, it restarts in a few minutes and takes another 2 hours, even though there is nothing to sync at that point! The Start Sync icon is ignored, and synchronization starts automatically every time. The Stop Sync icon sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.
Any idea what could be wrong? Any registry tweaks for this beast?
Sorry if this problem/issue has been posted earlier, I searched the forums and could not find anything.

Wow, something doesn't sound right there. These days for me the initial sync took about 10 minutes then each sync takes a few seconds. My phone is in the cradle all day so it syncing all the time. It is usual to see some slow down on the device when it is syncing though.
Are you running mobile device centre 6.1?
Are you syncing media at the same time?
Perhaps try turning all of the sync items off except one and then try. One by one try turning them on and see if you can work out where the problem is. Could be an entry or email that is causing a problem.
I notice there is a SP1 for office today.. might have something in there?
I have heard of people having to delete the sync relationships and start again too. It's quick enough and shouldn't cause you to loose any data unless you have changes settings from the defaults. I would certainly start by doing this. Delete the relationship on both devices and start again.
Mine used to be really problematic and I tried so many things to fix it, in the end I just reinstalled vista from scratch. It's been fine ever since.

Trying your suggestions
Thanks, @ladytoast. Is there anyway to turn off the automatic resynching every 5 minutes?

- I don't sync email, since I don't use Outlook for email. Though I;ll have to start looking at email syncs soon too...

- Deleting the sync relationship helped me earlier to solve the failure to connect problem I had earlier. But the chances of loss of data are very high, since the Mobile Device Center deletes data from the device if you uncheck a sync type. For example, you've already synchronized Calendar. Now you want to synchronize Contacts. Guess what? Since you uncheck Calendar, it deletes all calendar entries from the phone and synchronizes the Contacts. Dangerous, if you ask me. Any way to change this behavior?

Activesync keeps trying to sync when TILT connected to PC

Title explains everything. It keeps going through sync process automatically. Very annoying. Caused me to lose all my contacts on my phone and Outlook. Had to start all over again. Fix?

disable syncing contacts and outlook

.... So everytime I want to sync. I have to go through checking the boxes again.

Or you can repeat your previous mentioned frustration. Whichever you prefer is fine with me.

ok.. well I don't think that'll help me.
This is what happened:
It kept syncing, I deleted partnership on activesync, deleted associations in the phone by deleting windows PC. Connected it again, went through the setup wizard and only clicked on contacts. Finished syncing.
Delete every contacts off my Outlook 2007 and on my phone. I had like half of them saved on my SIM. At that my SIM card is maxxed out with numbers.

Do you mean that ActiveSync is consistently sync'ing?
ActiveSync will always sync about every five minutes. It's hard coded to do this... annoyingly enough.

I use one computer to sync but sometimes i want to use my work computer to connect so i can transfer files to it. i could never stop it from trying to sync my contacts even if i had all options unchecked first. It doesn't even say it's syncing but it would still mess up my phone and delete all my contacts, etc. i just go back to the original computer and resync and everything is normal again.

Try ActiveSync Toggle
ActiveSync Toggle, installed onto your desktop PC, should allow you to manually disconnect ActiveSync connection between your Tilt and desktop PC. You can still leave your Tilt cradled so it can continue to charge the battery. When you want to again allow your Tilt and PC to sync you just tell ActiveSync Toggle to allow the sync.
I created a quick launch icon in the lower left toolbar area of my desktop PC (XP). The quick launch icon I created for the ActiveSync Toggle makes it really easy to just click on it to open/launch the ActiveSync Toggle application.
Here is the link to ActiveSync Toggle: http://www.micrologics.co.uk/library/ast/
Hope this helps.

Enable guestonly mode. You'll still connect to activesync, but you'll never be prompted to create a partnership. Your Tilt will continue to charge, you can still access your files, etc...

Active sync alternative program?

Heya guys, what would you suggest in terms of a program that is a good alternative to active sync. i'm getting really really pissed off with active sync claiming that some of my stuff is not matching and it resyncs and wipes all my special ringtones as well as my contacts in my Peoples tab in tf3d.

I share your frustration but have found a sort-of solution. When you get the error "There has been change made on your server that requires re-syncronize all items on your device" I do a hard reset. You will loose all your changes since the last sync, plus you have to reload everything.
Many may dissagree with me on this, but here is how I have deleted this problem.
1) Hard Reset
2) Set Owner Name
3) Connect to PC and Sync. Do not disconnect from PC.
4) Open Active Sync or WMDC and change your Sync content to your preferences and let it sync again.
5) disconnect from PC and turn off "Advanced Network Conection or Enable faster data synchronization" (depends on WM version) on the phone: Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC
6) Soft reset, and you are good to go.
7) reload all apps.
Personally I do not reload from a back-up as I find the problem can reappear. Others may find this overkill, but this problem bugs me so much, I am wiling to go to consderable effort to get rid of it for good. If you ever turn on the fast/advanced connection again, the problem will resurface.
I think the problem has to do with the high speed data transfer. Probably a polling timing or something. I think the PC or Phone is looking for a response and not getting it fast enough which causes the full resync. By disabling the advanced or faster USB connection, it works fine for me.
Other uses have also reported that syncing via BT eliminates the problem,but I have never tried this.
I used to get this about every 4-5 weeks, but since I maded the changes described above, I have not had the problem for over a year unless I forget to turn off the advanced/fast usb sync after a ROM flash.
Hopefully this will work for you as well. It is frustrating when you cannot trust the phone to keep your data entered between syncs.
Doug M.

I would suggest using PIMBackup, it runs from your phone and saves everything or just the items that you choose onto your storage card. It is way faster saving and retrieving your contacts than active sync, It also allows you to restore without a computer so if you mess up your phone and have to do a hard reset when you are away from your computer you can get your contacts back without going out of your way to get to a computer

Sync trouble .... Help

Hello to everybody...
I tried several Rom like Touch X, Touch IT - Touch IT Leo, Valkirie, FireStorm, XPERIO, etc. But I'm having a lot of troubles with the Sync process, for example:
(1) When I end the Rom installation and I made the sync process, it can't end ...
(2) When it happen I unplugged the device ... plugged again and the WMC can't recognized it.
(3) Some time I have the message: Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again
(4) I have to do soft reset to the device, restart the computer and if I had luck the sync works. Sometimes, when I use the IJTE’s LEO ROM, in order the WMC recognize the device I had to push the USB connection button (the one that seems don’t work) … and some time the WDC works.
I'd like to know if someone had that kind of troubles and if found some solution.

Hello ... and thaks for your help, I did it ... sometimes works ... I tried changing the outlook profile too and sometimes works too ...
But doing that all the time make me fell tired and worried about all the time I wasted ... I think is something that is not rigth in some setup of my mobile device because when I use the original rom of my Xperia I did not have troubles with Sync ... I would like to know if someone had or has that kind of troubles with the sync process.
Thanks ...

first, you can try turning off the Enable advance network functionality.
if that didn't work, try changing the following registry settings:
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS\MaxOutTransfer=1642
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS\MTU=1514
they are currently set at 8192 and 8064 respectively.
as for the error message Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again, try moving attachements to your SD card. iif it is, then you might want to reduce the number of days to sync.
hope this helps

Sometimes when I have problems after flashing ROMs I just delete the detected mobile device and let it re-establish settings. Sometimes it takes seconds...sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes. BUT after that I don't have problems anymore until the next time I reflash the ROM.

USB to PC connection
Hi sfreirez,
You can try to change your USB to PC connection by ticking Enable faster data synchronization option.

Thanks to everybody, I tryed the tips you mencioned ... but now i did my first sync disabling the network funcionanlity ... but in the settings'/conection/usb conection ... not in the registry .. and it seems that is working .... I will let you know how it's works .. thanks to everybody again.
