Been playing with Activesync and WM5 now for over 4 hours.
My findings are the following.
1) I have seem to have lost the partnership and only way to get it back was to flash the device again and create a new one.
2) I have seem to be able to establish a partnership as a Guest.
3) after refalshing I made a new parnership and connected, added my contacts and started to sync, well it started to look for changes and that was it.
4) My device gives network card gives me a Unable to obatin ip error and I have worked with both the Use Secific Ip and server asgined Ip.
So now I get the feeling that you cant sync with WM5 and outlook 2003 configured with a pst file.
Can anybody confirm that they have been able to download there contacts out of outlook (not server based)?
What is the trick for the network card set up on the device and the windows based mobile device network card on the desktop.
PS Yes I have XP SP2
I can confirm that it works. I did nothing special, it almost worked from the beginning. One thing, that it seems Outlook MUST be your default e-mail client when building a new partnership.
Activesync 4.0.0 b4343
Outllok 2003 (11.5608.5656)
Mamaich's patched wm5 rom + fixes
I also have no problems with outlook 2003 and AS4. Firewall or some other program can block the connection.
But I've setuped ActiveSync to sync directly with exchange server.

Good for u that u have an exchange srvr
Thanks for the feedback.
At this moment in time I will forget the Outlook sync and work on the connection to the device.
1) When I installed AS4 and attached my 1.40 device I was able to browse the device (and hence load the partion application).
2) When I upgraded to WM5 I have been unable to connect and if I can I can only get a conection as guest.
What do I see.
1) On connection for cradel a new network card is installed on my desktop, its is the "windows moble device" , configured to auto and since it finds no DHCP isntall an APIPA address and acts as a DHCP
2) On whatching the device in the network connections "Remote-Ndis-Host" Set to Auto I see under the IP address a mac address and then a APIA address which seems to be the same as the DHCP on the Desktop.
(Cant remember when I saw it).
So the device sometimes shows me connected (seen by the arrows at the top) sometimes comes up with Can't get an address. However the desktop AS4 is still connecting.
Seems that I have a conflict in the AIPA which should not be the case as that is not what it was built for.
I will try fix IP on both sides and bridging the netsworks, also turn off the firewall.
Find it hard to belive that I could see the device with AS4 and rom 1.40 and now cant with WM5.
Oh sorry, I actually forgot to turn off the fire wall. Everything is ok after I did that....
WM5 and AS4.0 are working seamlessly.......
I Had the same problem, after installing WM5 on both my XDA & XDAiis my ohone wouldnt connect to my desktop. I have AS4 installed on my notebook and that works fine. (it looks like the proble happens only on the PC used for installing WM).
I suggest removing AS4 and re-installing it.
Good luck
Well I will be dammed.
I turned off my firewall PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 on the computer that installed the rom and bingo.
So the firewall worked ok with the AS4 and 1.40 but not after upgrade WM5. Must be something new in the WM5 rom. The device says its connected the desktop only says its trying to connect.
Here are a few more things that I tried
Installed AS4 on my multi boot Laptop XPSp2 Partiion, had Windows firewall enabled all default settings, saw device and paired (did not have office so could only explorer device). And it worked
On Laptop XPSp2 partition were I installed WM5 and was able to connect to device with AS4 and rom 1.40 before the upgrade: I gave Device a fix Ip and Wireless Network connection on Laptop a fixed IP in a different network. Could ping both from PC but not connect with AS4. Tried to bridge the two networks (not that it was need) but did not help. Tried the same segement with fixed IP and still no luck.
Reinstalled AS4 many a time, reflashed it also many a time and still could not connect.
Well that was Fun... NOT
Hi @ all, when I'm trying to install AS4 on my Computer, I get the following error:
"Setup not complete. The wizard was interrupted before Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard."
I've tryed it on my computer and on my mobile computer. Both have a legal Windows XP with SP2 and all current updates from WindowsUpdate.
I can't find a conclusion, maybe someone can help me
Hi,
same problems as MDAIIIUser here.
I tried AS 4.0 on 2 different Notebooks and 1 Desktop PC. No problems with WM2003. Best result I was able to get was on a Notebook with XP Pro SP2. I could explore the device but no syncing anything.
The other 2 PS´s weren´t able to connect at all.
Any ideas ?

Well my problem is that my active sync takes ages to sync the contact and calender. Well i do have 900+ contacts but with WM2003SE that used to take a couple of minutes. Can someone enlighten on this.
Thanks.
Hemant.
The answer is that unfortunately the Persistent Storage (Flash Memory) although a benefit in so much as it will stop you from losing all your data in the event of a battery drain is also 10x slower than RAM. This is where the database resides for Pocket Outlook and you will see the speed difference when doing large file operations such as this.
Don't panic too much as after the first sync it will probably not make a great difference to normal syncs which will only update a few items each time.
There are some great links for stuff on Persistent Storage over at buzz's site ->Here<-
Bebbo,
Thanks for ur reply. The thing is that even my first sync hasnt finished yet and it takes a lot of hours to sync each one. Anyway i am trying to finish this weekend.
Thanks.
Is there a possibility that as4 cannot sync contacts with outlook2002?
Because I just can sync files and media. Most important things like contacts,
calender, task etc. don't work. Am I the only one with this problem?
Same problem as told by MDAIIIuser
Dear MDA-IIIuser I am facing same problems as you have written in your letter.
I Tried to give IP address manually it did not work.
Desperately, I tried to reinstall Active Sync 3.8; it did not detect my PPC.
I was able to synchronize my contacts....every time when I hard reset but after that nothing,,,,,,,,
although the Icon of LAN card showing incoming and outgoing data it remains in the phase of "connecting".
I tried to bridge to LAN card, it did not work.
If you will get any solution please let us know..
Thanks..
Well I amanaged to sysnc my contacts and my problem was my own firewall PC-Cllin 2005 which I needed to turn off.
Fire wall??
I am using Zone Alarm Pro, I was thinking on this line....I turned of (I turned off the windows fire wall also)...but problem remain same
shall I uninstall Zone alarm and see the responses??????????? :? :?
Well I checked my device with AS4 XP2 with Firewall (its default) and I could see my device, I did not sync as I had no office on it.
I was able to see the device with AS4 and Rom 1.40 so some thing is different with WM5.
Anything to do with ports must be off, also make sure you are connected direct.
Try it for what its worth!
I am also having this problem. I have assigned my PPC to obtain a server assigned IP address since i am syncing with two device. Every time it syncs it gives me an error that the server couldnt assign IP. Any luck on that.
Also all those people having problems where your computer is not syncing outlook entries, here i what you can try to do. Open your Outlook 2003 and then click tools and then click detect and repair. Once it is finished you will see that it can sync your outlook entries now. I hope this helps.
This is because your outlook 2003 has to be the default mail client or it wont sync your entries. Again of the dirty tricks of M$. :roll:
Hi Guys,
I have a rather odd problem. I am using a WinXP SP1 laptop along with Norton Internet Secruity 2005.
I just purchased a jasjar and installed the activesync 4.0 program that came on the CD. When i begin to synchronise, i get the following message:
"You will only be able to sychronise files, folder and other non-Outlook items right now. If you want to synchronise email, calendar, notes, tasks, contacts, please disconnect the device, install and run Outlook and then synchronise again". Well the funny thing is outlook is already running and used to work fine with my PDA2k.
Outlook is my default client for all of the above. I even tried disabling the firewall, still no luck. Can you guys help me out here, its really bugging the hell outta me.
Appreciate any input.
Best Regards,
UD.
I have an unlocked Cingular 8125 (i.e. HTC Wizard). I am currently 'connected' to my desktop but I am unable to sync. I have read many posts on here and elsewhere and I am unable to find an answer to my question.
Here are the pertinent facts.
I have Activesync 4.2 beta installed. No other PPC devices are on my system. I have deleted my partnership several times. I have installed and uninstalled the Activesync program. I have deleted the Activesync directories from my programs. I have emptied out my inbox.
I have soft reset more times than I can imagine (I have not hard reset as I am fearful that I will lock my 8125 and I do not have the unlock codes nor, from the posts, does that appear to be necessary).
My device is connected. It shows up as Windows Mobile Device #8 in the Network Adapters portion of the Device Manager in my control settings.
I can explore on my device.
The options for syncing are just not there. On my desktop or on the device I can hit 'sync' and nothing happens. Nothing.
I am just not sure what to do at this point.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Maybe stupid suggestion, but in the Active sync connection settings on your desktop pc, did you enable usb-connections? If not, try that, should help
Yes. In fact, I unplugged the 8125 from a USB hub and plugged it directly into the PC as I read that sometimes the hub can be a problem. I thought I said this the first time, but I had to retype my post.
It did sync the first time. I was in the process of installing third party software when it stopped working. I cannot sync nor install any software (or remove software) at this time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51649&highlight=
I cannot seem to be able to load that file. I can only Explore on my 8125. I can extract the .cab file to my desktop and I can copy the unextracted .cab file to the 8125 (or the extracted files) but I cannot install the program.
Any suggestions?
Have you made sure the correct things are checked under the properties for the network adapter?
"In the "Properties" Window, be sure to uncheck all check-boxes in the "This connection uses the following items:" list EXCEPT for:
* Client for Microsoft Networks
* File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
* Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"
Reference this link for more suggestions:
http://pocketpccentral.net/help/as4_tshooting.html
I am still in the same state.
It 'connects' but will not sync.
Again:
I unistalled Activesync
I deleted the folder ...\programfiles\microsoftactivesyc and all the files
I cleared out my garbage can
I checked my firewall exceptions
I checked Norton antivirus and I am not running a firewall there
I checked the Network connections and made sure that the correct three boxes in the properties for the network remained checked
I plugged the device directly into the USB of the computer
I soft reset my device
I rebooted my computer
One thing I do note when checking the properties of the network connections is that windows refers to this as Windows Mobile Device #9. I have deleted all other devices so that only one device is showing up. I am not sure why it still finds this as device #9.
Questions:
Might this be an outlook problem? Should I try and repair outlook?
Might a hard-reset help me? One thing I cannot do even though I am 'connected' is install any programs. It gives me an error message everytime. I can, however, add files to the storage card (e.g. mapopolis maps).
I have an unlocked 8125. I am happy to do a hard reset but I am woried that I will have to unlock the phone again. Does anyone know if that is the case?
Can anyone help me please!
try to upgrade to the most updated ROM - 2.25
it worked 4 me.
Todah rabah.
I will try it
Hi all,
Just spent a VERY frustrating day - read all i could find and learned much more than I wanted to know about PCs (I use a MAc).
Upgraded to wm5 using Build 14343. Now I cannot load anything into the phone using Activesync OR Missing Sync. Activesync won't recognise the phone at all, and I tried every suggestion on the boards - firewall ports, tcp/ip, reinstalling 4.5 then back to 4.2.
It's interesting that Missing Sync (Mac) will recognise and sync but won't allow me to install - .cabs just vanish into the ether.
Is WM5 actually worth it all? It seems like I've lost a lot of useful capability (buttons, camera, etc) for no great reason.
Any solves greatly appreciated. Now I'm going to bed.
Paul D
Baniaczek's WM5 ROM is great for me. It has tons of things way better than the original Wm2003. Connects to ActiveSync without a problem. Try to put that one on the device.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
Better File Same problem
I've upgraded the ROM.
Still no activesync. Ran the troubleshooter.
Said there's an issue with RNDIS not giving an IP address.
I've checked the LAN connection in Network settings but it won't repair.
I'm not even sure that Activesync created the link as there doesn't seem to be the "Connect using WM device" that it says should be there.
What now?
*&^%$* WinDoze. Roll on iPhone OSX.
Ahh. This is clearly an issue with the PC. If you were able to upgrade the rom - that prooves that your cable and your BA is okay. There must be some Antivirus, or Firewall problem. If you're using BitDefender Antivirus, for example, this is a known issue. You need to update it. Other antiviruses/firewalls may have similar issues.
Try to move to another PC, or reinstall your Windows PC. This problem is not related to your BA.
Another idea:
Unplug device, then
Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC:
Disable the Advanced network functionality > ok
Plug it back
This will make your PDA connect to the PC via a Serial link (Like Wm2003 used to), rather than a network link (Like WM5 uses to).
It's still a PC problem though.
reflash again your pda.
today i had the same problem after one clean intall.
upgraded again with the same rom (the one you can see in my signature) and now, i am able to use active synch.
Ok Some Progress
I disabled the "advanced network functionality".
Active Sync no luck - it isn't correctly installing the hardware in Virtual PC on the Mac. I don't know why.
However, Missing Sync now actually begins to load activesync on the PPC, and then gives this message:
"Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. The communications port is not available. Another program may be using the port, or it may not be valid.
Quit any programs that may be using the port and reconnect. If the problem persists, restart your device using hte instructions provided by the manufacturer."
I remember reading somewhere that Baniaczek had assigned certain ports to certain things. How do I find out which it wants and change it?
thanks guys, we may lick this yet.
Paul D
Same message in VPC
Hooray,
I now get the same message in Virtual PC, after disabling "Virtual switch networking" and restarting the PC.
This means that the issue is now the port on the PPC.
PaulD
That's great..
I don't think so...
In baniaczek's rom, COM6 is assigned to shared GPS, but that can be easily changed from the settings, by setting it to none.
Go with your BA to a real PC that has only WinXP and ActiveSync installed, and nothing else (especially no Antiviruses). And no virtual PC's, as they depend on the host os! It's normal, because if your host OS can't connect, the virtual OS inside will have the same door closed.
I had the same problem before, and I definitely state that this is a PC problem, not a device problem. Same hardware connected to a different PC, will work, you'll see...
Reflashing the rom may help, as it will be detected as a new harware, that your system will let in. But you say you already did that...
Won't actually solve the problem
If I had a PC, that would be the easy solve. I don't, and really need the &$# thing to work on the machine I have.
For the moment I went back to the original Mamaich 14343. I can get .cabs into the phone via the card reader (the original problem on the Mac is that Missing Sync 3.0.2 has installing issues).
that doesn't allow me to load .exe, for which I need activesync, on my Mac, which runs VPC 7.0.2.
I really need to find out why VPC isn't working with TCP/IP.
Baniaczek's ROM is the best apparently, but has a com issue. It is also much easier to installl than any others I've found. I tried Xplode's ROM kitchen but the exe file wont run.
Paul D
hey, reinstall again the rom!
OK OK
Ok Sandstorm, I'll try it when I get the chance. At the moment the phone works but this ROMisn't as good as Baniaczek's.
Thankx for the tips
PauL D
Device won't install
Ok Internet works. TCP/IP works.
Issue now is that the device won't install properly - keeps giving a #10 error (device won't start).
So I can't reflash the ROM or anything until I get XP recognising the connection.
Paul D
turn on the upgrade program, "kill" the active synch running processes in your xp taskmanager, set the device in "bootloader" mode, place it in the crade and run the upgrade.
When i do my upgrades, i never do them with active synch enabled.
upgraded ROM again
Upgraded again - still no change
I flashed again to Baniaczek's ROM. Still will not install correctly in VPC. XP says I have a Generic Blue Angel connected via USB, but will NOT install the WM5 device.
Is this a COM port issue? Can I change that (details please)? For some reason, VPC simply won't recognise the WM5.
I have turned off "Advanced network connections" on the XDA. Nothing. Turned it back on.
I have it set to: server-assigned Ip address.
I have tried to change the IP settings manually, but never had a response. I might fiddle with that again.
AAAAAARRRGH!
thanks all,
Paul D
All of a sudden my activesync has stopped working. I can't connect via USB or bluetooth. It worked fine in the past! Now, if I plug in my Tilt with the USB it gives me an error message saying Activesync cannot connect, and gives me the option of troubleshooting. Going through the troubleshooting process yeilds no diagnosis; everything appears to be working ok.
If I try and sync with bluetooth, I see the Tilt connect, and then disconnect a few seconds later. No error messages, no nothing.
My Tilt's activesync window displays the message:
"To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC." It once displayed info such as my last sync, etc.
I've tried reinstalling activesync, and disabled my firewalls.
Anybody else have this issue, or know of a fix?

Sounds like something has changed on your PC, perhaps via a Windows Update. Have you checked to see if your firewall is the culprit?
You may also want to do a clean uninstall and then reinstall Activeswync 4.5 and create a new partnership with your device.
You can also try restoring your PC back to a date that you were able to use Activesync....
This happens to me rather frequently (I am looking for an ActiveSync replacement because of it).
However, I fix it by either soft reset of the device, PC, or sometimes both. If that doesn't work, you need to delete the partnership with the PC and reconnect.

...any solutions yet?
I just got my kaiser 3 weeks ago after using a wizard for almost 2 years. what a great phone the wizard was... I kinda miss using it! Anyhow, i just experienced the sudden activesync failure. I now get random activesync openings on my kaiser with the message "To synchronize your device with a desktop computer... yada yada".
I have already setup a bogus server and set the scheduling to manual.
I have compared the wizard registry to the kaiser registry by searching every instance of 'activesync' and couldnt find anything.
I also deleted all instances of activesync in the notification queue and had memmaid rebuild it.
The device will connect to activesync but pops an error message that it could not synchronize and goes into a guest account setting. So for now I am having to use pimbackup to backup my data on the kaiser, bluetooth it to my wizard, then sync the wizard with my laptop to get the data into outlook. I am considering a hard reset but kind of want to wait until the at&t 6.1 official Rom comes out. I am also considering Chapura Pocketmirror Professional which worked well on an old Ipaq i had (wm2k3) that had sync issues. I also want to get this resolved so i can practice loading a new rom on the wizard. So....
Anyone have a fix yet? I hope so!!!
Oh, and for reference (to answer questions from other threads), my kaiser battery drains 4 to 5 times faster than the wizard in side by side use, and the kaiser definitely does not have a transflective screen while the wizard does... bummer. but the kaiser is tremednously faster!
1. Disconnect the device from your computer.
2. Try going to your device and select:
start->settings->connections->USB to PC.
3. Uncheck "enable advanced network functionality"
4. Reconnect the device.
Active Sync....
Hi,
You can try "PocketMirror® Professional 2.2.4 for Windows Mobile", its a pretty good syncronization tool, but it costs a few bucks...
I've been using the trial version of PocketMirror and must say its pretty good with my TYTN 2.
Regs,
The Reaper.
... my thoughts exactly
yeah, i tried the usb to pc option as well. even downloaded a cab from another thread that allowed me to choose rndis or usb mode. neither worked. I will probably use pocketmirror pro as well...
Hi, I just flashed a new ROM on my Orbit that works brilliantly, no issues at all, apart from the fact that the computer now doesn't see the device at all. Not even the blo-blong sound when you connect any USB device. The only thing I get connecting the cable is charging the battery. And if I start Active Sync on my Orbit I get the same message as mystic_nacho:
"To synchronize your device with a desktop computer, install the synchronization software from the Getting Started Disc included with your device on your PC"
I just tried an hard reset to try to fix the issue - no success..
Before flashing everything was fine..
Btw, my wife Diamond doesn't connect either, and it never did it: something related to the TouchFlo thing?
Any idea?
The ROM I flashed is
gullums TouchFlo2D beta 4
update
I found the Diamond 'Getting started disc' and installed the Windows Mobile resources tool...
The disc I have from the Orbit box is for Windows Mobile 5, I guess it's not worth to find it out and try...
Nothing changed, anyway.
update 2
Yesterday night out of the blue - while the Orbit was still connected to the pc - ActiveSync started to work... F. knows....
i had the same problem - sync was working fine and then stopped. what worked for me was to go to USB to PC under settings and uncheck "enable faster data syncronization".
hi,
i also had sync. problems in the past.
searched for months.. since i figured out that some registry entries on my PC where missing!
imported the mayor setting from my brothers PC and TADAAAAAA. problem solved.
search my threads and maybe you 've luck with my soloution!

Have you recently used a memory cleaning Application like memmaid, Clear Temp, or SKTools? You might have cleaned out some important notification files, like repllog,exe that is used for activesync.
I had the same thing happen to me when I first used these cleaners. I had to do a hard reset on the phone to make it work again found out about the remedies listed below after the reset.
I have heard others were successful repairing these notification Queue's with MemMaid. You can hold your stylus on the repllog,exe notification, and a popup up will appear, asking you to Recreate ActiveSync, or rebuild notification Queue. I don't know if this feature is available in Clear Temp, or SK tools.
I've also heard of restoring activesync by unchecking all of the folders, syncing, and then adding each folder back to the list, one by one, until all is restored.
I too have just developed the same problem.
I have 2 TYTN II' one will sync fine the other wont.
It all went horribly wrong after I tried to install Wisbar and an Ipod theme, after I uninstalled it, cos it didn't work I found I could no longer sync with USB to PC and the sync option is greyed out on my phone. The phone will charge with some of my usb cables, but now even seems fussy about which cable will charge and some now won't.
I am given to wondering whether the usb connection on my Phone is the problem...everything else seems to be working fine.
I have even installed different ROMS via the memory card still the problem persists.
I would love someone to come up with a fix
**UPDATE**
Well I now have got it working, in my case I was right, the usb connection on the phone was to blame. I took it to a mobile repair shop, I told the guy that I thought it was faulty he took one look at it and said that I had a bent pin, he got a little tool out and teased it back into position, sure enough when I got home it worked fine so now I am able to sync again. Not sure how long it will last though.
**Update 2**
Failed again, at least I know what's wrong now.
Hi, i have recently installed ms active sync 4.5. However my tytn ii will not establish a connection with my pc. It charges just fine but does not connect. I have searched all over but did not find a solution to my problem. i was wondering if it mightbe the cable i got with my device when i purchased it. it is a usb to "mini usb" like the motorolas and nokia 6300 use. Could this be my problem?
I doubt it's because of the cable (though could be). Try unchecking start>settings>connections>usb to pc.
I have the same problem, and have tried connecting with and without advanced network functionality.
activesync does not respond at all, even when trying to connect from activesync on my pc.
I have the same problem, charging o.k., but USB connecting not work
Before I had same problem. The reason was I have installed some 3rd party program what somehow blocked the sync.
I have un-installed this program but it couldn't help because the registry setting was modified by this software. So finally I ended up with a hard reset and reinstall everything. After that the sync just work fine again.
Sigh, i thought it might come to that.
hard reset 2x, no effect
flah rom from SD card, Duty V1 Daimond....no effect
flah rom from SD card, L26 V6 Daimond.... I have the same problem, charging ok, USB data connecting not work...
Well, hard reset complete to no effect. So frustrating!!!! I have been troubleshooting for ages and have nothing to show for it. Surely someone on this forum has solved this problen before.
Hi
I had the same problem following a rebuild of my laptop.
Problem traced to my firewall which had blocked the connection.
Once rule changed to allow no further problems.
Hi colinm, what did you do exactly? It may help me out of this situation.
Doesn't anyone know anything about this?
Yeah i had it get the latest update for active sync from windows its a latest driver pack goto teh windows home and look on there it sorted my one out
what version is it? i have 4.5 right now.
If you could provide a direct link that would be great.
I was trying in 2 different PC ( Vista, Win XP), but the same problem, cable is ok....
I would really like to know what the more experienced members think about this but no-one really seems to want to reply. also i would like to know is the usb data cable plug identical to the htc original handsfree plug which is an exact fit. as i mentioned before my data cable is more like a mini usb, like the motorolas use. it fits (not perfectly like the handsfree), charges but there is no recognition between the device and the pc (xpSP2 running activesync 4.5 which came with the device).
Please help, i may seem to be a noob but i have tried available advice and troubleshooting has become repetitive.
My Mobile Device Center from my Tilt to Windows Vista stopped working a few weeks ago. Tried everything to no avail.
there was one thing that i couldn't do while troubleshooting.
"Do the following:
Disconnect the device.
Open Network Connections in Control Panel on the PC.
Note If your Control Panel is set to Category View, open Network and Internet Connections, and then open Network Connections
Right-click the local area connection created by ActiveSync, and click Properties. In the Connect using box, Windows Mobile-based device is displayed.
In This connection uses the following items, select every check box (to select all protocols).
Reconnect the device."
i cannot see the network icon active sync has created. which leads me to believe that this might be the problem. does anyone know how to fix this?
will updating to SP3 do anything, gonna try will let you know.
