I dont' know if anybody has noticed this. After going thorugh Start / Settings / System Tab / Memory / running programs tab I stop all running progrrams. After sometimes I go to this place again and I find Active Sync as a running application even though I have not started it.
This did not happen on my old pda2k. Why does it happen on the universal JJ. Though it does not matter but yet it is taking some useful RAM and more so my urge to know why does it happen.
I will appreicate your views
Regards
I had this problem too
It is a pain in the ass as this causes skype not work with me. No solution yet.

Same here. I hope they fix things like this in Rom updates.
Try putting in dummy exchange server settings, disable all scheduled updates. That should stop AS autostarting.
Hi Efjay. Remember me? Anyway.. :? can you tell me/us how to go about doing this please :roll: grovel, grovel!
Meanwhile, glad I was wrong about you! :lol:
Not to worry. Sussed it. Thanks for the tip though! :lol:
mackaby007, np glad you got it working, was at work and didn't see your reply til now on the way home. One-handed WM5 rocks.
Hi Efjay and All.
I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I had some problems whereby Active sync stopped working for me alltogether. Decided to download and install the unofficial 4.1 version of Activesync in conjunction with Magicbutton (and disabled the 'close' feature of Spb pocket plus 3) and presto, I'm no longer getting Activesync running in the background and all aplications close as they should!
If anyone is still experiencing problems in this area, give this a try and please post your experience back here.
Yeah your right Efjay, one handed operation in WM 5 rocks , but I'm still struggling to put the stylus down (I've become so used it, it's a new learning curve for me).
That's what you think
Try turning on wifi, and AS will come right back. I tried your solution and no luck. I tried faking the server and changing the schedule otpion, no luck, it just lives on....
No more annoying Activesync!!
Hi All. Just to report back, I,ve not had the recurring problem with Activesync poppin back anymore, at all, whatsoever!
Mikee: I tried as you said, and used wi-fi to surf the web, then watched a 2 hour movie on the JAsJar, then reconnected the wi-fi and listened to Resco Radio for 15 minutes, then checked memory status under settings. Nothing. No Activesync and nothing else running in memory. for me at least, the problem is gone and I'm not using any dummy server settings either! I'm typing this from the JasJar now and as we speak....just checked memory again. Nothing.
I don't know what to say, but I know you've had this problem a while now and all I can think is that it's either the software you have installed (possibly need a clean re-install of Activesync 4.1) like skype, which I uninstalled the minute I got my JasJar, or your Radio ROM update, which I have not done either.
Anyway, sorry I can't be of any more help to you, but please post your findings here if you snag the culprit.

Hello All,
I don't think this problem is specfic to the JasJar, as I have the very same problem on my PDA2K. This only started happening after I upgraded to the windows of OS. So, I think it's more to do with W05 and or activesyne 04 which is needed to run W05. I have also found that this happen befor I even installed any apps on system, and I never had Skype so that can be ruled out as the culprit. Anyway, still trying to solve this bug, Have not recieved my Universal as yet...I'm waiting for the o2 version :shock: Think the black rocks! Until then I have been keeping my eye on all the help from this section of the site...Just my 2cents

I get a lock-up on the splash screen after a soft reset. It might have something to do with Battery Bar ap. :?
I'm running it with pocket plus and PI 4.5 as well as SPB full screen keyboard and hasn't had any locks up as well. as for the SD card being formatted i saw this happen to my friend's sandisk 64mb card running 0zone 3 version of ppcpe 2003.

No such problems so far. However, here are some bugs I have noticed:
1. The phone seems to have difficulty in re-acquiring the GSM signal after it has been out of coverage for a while. I sometimes have to switch if off and then on again when I get back to coverage.
2. GPRS - The speeds seem better, but there seems to be an issue with connecting to GPRS as the device refuses to connect sometimes even when it is supposedly GPRS-Attached ('G' icon present).
3. I use PocketNAV and keep finding this application 'HTC SAT' listed as one of the running programmes. Cant figure out what this one is.
4. If you go into contacts from the phone screen and close the contact screen without actually making a call, the contact on top of the list seen earlier will appear on the phone screen. On many occassions I thought I had wrongly dialled numbers that I never meant to call, but when I figured this issue out I was relieved that I hadnt accidentally made all those international calls.....
5. SMS WORKS LIKE A DREAM. The name of the contact still appears when you click reply, but you dont have to delete it anymore - the message goes through even if you dont. SMSs seem to be sent much faster, too...
CHeers
I can go into contacts and close it and go to the phone and it does not show the last contact selected. I suspect that this may be do to one of your applications. I have the following applications loaded:
1. SPB Pocket Plus (Latest version that work on 2003)
2. MobiPassword (Eval)
3. Fonix 1.2EN & UL Roger Voice
4. Pocket Plan (Eval)
5. PHM Registry Editor
6. Converter CE
7. Mapopolis
8. Acrobat Reader
9. Access NetFront3
10. Sprite Backup
11. Portmith Ipresent
12. Spamfilter (beta)
13. MidCast (Eval)
14. Pocket Explorer
None of these appear to cause any problems. Only SPB Pocket Plus and Fonix are loaded in RAM. All others on on SD card. I hope this helps.

SD Card Erasing on WM2003 - Solved!
I have also had that problem.
It happened to me TWICE, but after some really lengthy investigation, I have figured out what causes it--
It's the new 'Pictures' application! TURN OFF the 'Detect digital camera' option, and your problem will go away!
Hope this helps everyone. I HIGHLY suggest everyone do this NOW! It's not a good thing to loose an entire 256MB card full of documents and programs!
You the Man, thanks!
I have installed the wm2003 4.00.01 rom Yesterday.
I must all looks good and every ting i use works.
BatteryPack 2003 V5 does some strange things when I have the phone app open.
If I open a speed dail and later the call history, I can't close the call history or the Phone.
When I want close the call history, it will show the speed dail, and when I close this one it will show me the call history.
I will have to press the green answer button to get the phone app back on my screen.
Which I cant close because it will open the call history or speed dail.
Any one any solutions to this problem.
As has been stated by mnay users Battery Pack has problems. I wouldn't advise anyone to load it until you are convinced that these problems have been fixed.
I have noticed one minor inconsistent problem. After synching devise on cradle and leaving it there, after removing it from cradle it soemtimes will not recconect to the GPRS even though a G shows. A soft reboot and it will connect fine. Other times I just wait a while and it recconects fine.
I also noted on another site that was testing connections that in the fully released version it keeps track of your connection time. Nice feature once we get the release version.
I love the fact that email polling really works the way you would think it would now. Even after the device shuts itself off, it continues to get email. I set mine to 5 minutes, so it is almost like having push email. After seven days of usage I am still impressed.
Using the second WM2003 beta, 4.20.1081 build 13100, ROM 4.00.01 ENG, Radio A.20.10, Protocol 324e4, on the US T-Mobile system, my PPCPE is working flawlessly in the North Texas area. I was having severe GPRS problems after the update, but replaced my three year old Vstream SIM with the latest generation and that fixed the problem immediately.
The only inconvenience I have encountered is the fact that Omega One products (Battery Pack and Journal Bar) do not work even though the Omega One website claims compatibility in the product information section. According to the user forums on that site, beta versions exist but are problematic.
As stated by others previously, stay away from their products for now. I miss Journal Bar!

AGREED ABOUT WM2003, ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE ALWAYS ON INTERGRATED GPRS ON THE OPERATING SYSTEM SIDE AND CONNECTIVITY FEATURES.
THERE ARE A LOT OF BUGS AND ISSUES, I'M WAITING FOR THE XDA WM2003 SPECIAL EDITION TO BE RELEASED
ANYONE GOT A ESTIMATE TIME IT'LL BE OUT?

Can someone please help? I've trolled many a forum for this answer but have not found it yet. I have an I-Mate Pocket PC (XDAII) that I've installed Spb's Pocket Plus (v1.3.0 Build 59) and GPRS Monitor (v2.15 Build 362). I recently had to turn the phone off (in a hospital) so I switched "Flight Mode" on. When I switched it off and tried to check my message bank, lo and behold, I could not hear a thing!! I had my wife call me and eventhough she could hear me, I could not hear her.
After uninstalling the apps and performing an soft boot everything is fine. I am in a situation where I have to turn the phone off often and I love these apps but I don't want to be reinstalling the dam things all the time!!
Help?
Oh, The phone is running the Telstra ROM from I-Mate:
ROM Ver : 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date :02/20/04
Radio Ver :1.10.00
Protocol Ver: 1337.18
ExtROM Ver : 1.66.176
and a softreset itself is not enough ?
I have not tried a reset without the apps installed. I'll try that when I get home to Sydney on Sunday. (I'm in Melbourne at the moment).
i meant doing a softreset wihtout uninstalling those apps
i use the pocketpc plus but not the grps thingy and i dont have any issues
Sorry. I knew that's what you ment but it came out wrong. :? Yes, I have and 1 in 3 resets fixes it.
OK, someone please give me a hand with this one.
I'm far from a noob with this PPC stuff, and I've played around alot, but this one's got me stumped. If there is a simple fix, I'll go to the nearest brick wall and ...........
OK, I have the 128Meg Jam (US version) and I finally decided to upgrade to the lastest i-mate offerings of their ROM update called...
JAM_USA_11200_188_11210_ship.exe
The upgrade went smooth/perfect without any hitches and or hangs. Whew! So next was the daunting task of installing all my apps, games, emulators, etc...
So before I got in too deep, I did a soft reset, and deleted the ROM installed Skype (installing a newer version later) and deleted the AntiVirus software also.
Soft reset was next.
Then downloaded the latest drivers for my SPECTEC SDW-820 Wi-Fi card, both the Canada version 1.25 and the US version 1.25.3 (same version as the WM 5.0).
NOW... Guess what?!?
Up till this upgrade, my SPECTEC rocked with FAST X-Fer speeds, both up and down! I loved it and used it alot!
Now the damn JAM/SPECTEC combo sees a signal, grabs the signal, and tells me it's "connected", but yet the Wi-Fi icon at the top does the "searching" animation. When I click on the icon at the top, it says...
"No modem at above number. To check your connection settings and change them if neeed, tap Settings".
It's looking for a GPRS signal!
When connected to my PC via ActiveSync, I can use the internet with/without setting up any "Rogers" settings.
I've done soft resets, hard resets, re-installs, etc... EVEN a "hacked" E300 Wi-Fi driver from another chap (ampda) and a Wi-Fi companion, and still the same results... Sees signals, "says" it's connected, but IE, MSN, etc. don't work!!
If ANYONE has a fix for this, or has experienced this, please help me out! I LOVE my JAM, and it's to me the perfect little do-it-all, but I'm soon approaching this "Can Jam's fly" theory!
Talked with Chris and Impact Wireless, and contacting others... Everyone is stumped, but it seems to be the "newest" ROM offering.
Awaiting help,
Rick.

Im getting a similar error with mine atm, im going to be backing up and performing a hard reset in the next day or so...will keep you in formed.
Im currently on 1.06 again (long story) and it has suddenly "stopped working"
I think its a application i have installed that may have caused it.
Imp
OK...
AFAIK, most of the things you have mentioned are a settings problems if I'm not mistaken...
I mean in many cases you can connect your PDA to the internet using Active-Sync but applications like IE or MSN messenger won't work... all you have to do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection:then Tab connections and manage your connection in order your desired application will get the right settings.. you may also edit the advanced settings as well ( select Networks )
Another thing you can do is to go to
Start>Settings>Connection: Network Cards.. and choose the right card and the right option (work or the internet)
In most cases... if you edit your connections settings, things will work for you... for instance you can delete ( temporarily) the GPRS setting for your JAM, so when you use you WiFi card... it will be the only option....
I know this sound weired, but I have tested it before, I used to do a lot of internet via BT or cable + Active-Sync but after I did a ROM upgrade.. things did not work... all you have to do is to tweak the settings a bit, and I guess you have the same problem, because you say you get connected... so this is just a matter of settings IMHO
Another thing, I think you can try older drivers for your card... it might work
I hope things will work for you
cheers :wink:
Well, I got it working! FINALLY!
Bye.
.................. LOL! Ok, Ok, here's how I fixed it.
I really don't know how!
I went to Wireless Wave in one of our malls here, and the store manager let me take one his new Audiovox PPC6600's up to the food court where I know there is an open HotSpot.
So I installed the latest SPECTEC SDW-820 v1.25.3 drivers, and did a soft reset, popped in the card, launched the W-Lan utility, and would you believe, it worked like a champ, right off the bat! With the settings at stock. I didn't have to change anything to "Work", and it worked perfectly.
So......
I brought it back, and went back for the real test now that I know that my Wi-Fi card is fine. So, same thing, did an installed, soft reset, popped in the card, and again, it worked perfectly!!
So, I'm wondering in all of this, if for some bizarre reason, that the "contacts" might have maybe been dirty?!? I really am not too sure, however, I am taking this moment to thank all that have been patient and helpful with this issue. My JAM doesn't need flying lessons now. LOL
Rick.
P.S. Wi-Fi worked at "The Internet" settings, as well as "Work" settings. It just automatically decides to go to the Wi-Fi card when it's in place. Neat!
P.P.S Can surf the internet using PIE and use MSN on the JAM while activesynced. No Wi-Fi card installed, and GPRS off. Using ActiveSync v3.8
Does anyone know how to stop the ATOM from changing the view to landscape each time the camera button is selected?... been the same on all roms and the button is assigned to the camera only yet when pushed it flicks the screen sideways, then when exiting it goes back portrait - its annoying and i'd like to stop it...
Also with the *leaked* rom anyone know how to get the clock back up the top instead of the battery indicator which doesnt change no matter how charged the phone is?..
FTR... the 3second delay patch works on *Leaked* rom with MP3's as well as other formats..

XDA Atom - Issues with new rom
I've just switched from the XDA2i to the Atom and am starting to wish I didn't. I bought this phone on ebay.com/au and it was only 2 wks old, the chap said he no longer needed it for work....probably got hacked off with it being so buggy.
I'm running the new 20060217b1wwe rom with the radio r060221n_mn1arc_rs00045 as the old rom (one which came pre loaded) constantly froze and needed soft re-setting.
The issues I'm having are as follows:
1. When phone is in standby after a few mins the green led stops flashing and it no longer accepts incoming calls and goes straight to voicemail until I press the power button, it then searches for a network and the green light flashes again.
2. When listening to the radio there is a constant buzz in the background.
3. Sound only comes out of the right headphone ( I've seen in another post that this has happened to others, a suggested 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter was the fix. Surley the headphone which comes with it should work properly!!)
Also are there any updates which sets the phone up with UK settings and not Australian defaults
Why do O2 release phones without fully testing it....it hacks me off.......Anyway if someone could help me out with my above problems before I launch it from the 15th floor of my office building that'll be great
Me too. I've got an Atom few days ago and using same rom and radio as yours. I find 3 problem with it:
1. Green led stops flashing
2. Battery lasted so quick, usually have to re-charge after 10 hours (with only 1 hours talk time, no bluetooth, infrared and wifi.
3. Wi-fi is buggy. After connected, it auto disconnected .
I'll try to re-flash ROM.
Does anyone can help.
I hope you have seen the new ROM (test only) on ftp? Follow the link in the Atom Upgrading section
Did you try "not for sale" version? I'm downloading...
my issues with the Atom
Hi all
I have been using the XDA IIi for the last 1 and 1/2 years, and got this present from myboss...an ATOM. I dont have the same problems, but some are similar I guess.
1.After I receive an MMS, the phone stays connected to the Internet, or rather connected to GPRS/EDGE. After successful downloading, it remains connected. Any ideas why? in the IIi it disconnects after downloading, and also if my browser remains inactive for some time.
2.Synchronization is terrible. Most of the time, when i plug in to sync, there will be an error, then i unplug and plug it back, it may sync. this is terrible. Im using active sync 4.1
3. This terrible phone needs awful lot of reseting. Even to check the System info, i needed to reset the bugger.
4. This is very very slow.. and battery power drains so much. Im only using SPB pocket plus 3.1.1 the oly external software running on the Atom.
My Rom version
20060123B1WWE
Radio version
R060221N_MN1ARC_ RS00045
Aprrecite if any one could advise.
cheers
SPB pocket plus is known to conflict with atom performance.
By the way why have you not updated your ROM to any of the non-official ones floating around? First was the Leaked ROM, and just 2 days ago came the Test ROM, which, in my personal opinion, is tops so far.
Thanks victoradjei for the update.
So guess ill have to remove the SPB for now.
Actually i havn't been around the forum, so have not got real updates from here. Will follow it up.
By the way, is the performance better with the new ROMs.
cheers
the not for sale rom is the best so far!!!try it!
No Sound coming from left earphone.....
Since I posted my issues above i've found that most of my issues were to do with my virgin payg sim. When I inserted my works vodaphone sim I had no connection issues at all. All other quirks seem to have disappeared too....with the exception of the headset problem. I only get sound from the right headset and also I can not use with microphone on the headset either.....I purchased the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter and bought some new headphones but to no avail.....Does anyone else have this problem if so how was it resolved??
My Atom green led stop flashing after few minute - always ON (offcouse it is network registered). Is it normal ? Like other HTC green led must flashing when registered to network.
active sync problems...still
I have upgraded to the official ROM realsed by O2 and most of the problems are solved, and i "love" my atom for now.
but as per my previous post, i still cannot find what the crap is about the active sync and the atom. Well, the sync problem is ther still, here is an error it is giving
The server is Buzy

Er, did u upgrade from a previous ActiveSync? Remove the ActiveSync installation totally (Even the residual files), and perform a clean install of ActiveSync 4.1.
I find that the old files of ActiveSync sometimes conflict with ATOM synchronization...dunno why.
Hope this helps.
I use activesync with an exchange server in real time to sync my emails:
I have a major problem with this sync error (0x80070008) constantly coming up on my Cingular 8525. My device will get this error 2-3 times a day during heavy use and it is causing me a lot of heartache. It is true that you can just do a soft reset and then the activesync works again....HOWEVER, there are some times where I do a tremendous amount of work moving emails around and sending replies etc.....then I get the error and do soft reset and lose all that work. It is a major annoyance and it is causing me to rely less and less on my device for email work. I don't want that to be the case because I love this thing and I don't want this to get in the way.
I can only say one more piece of info that may or may not be a real association - This error happens often when I'm on the subway and I have no service I do a lot of work on the device....and when I get out and try to sync this error is very common. This is not the only time it happens, but, its a frequent one.
It surprises me that this is not plaguing others besides me. I hope that someone out there can give me a real fix to this nightmare.
Thanks,
Ezra

I dont know if its the same problem or not, but I used to get something similar when i lost service...not able to connect back up to the data network.
I just went into comm manager and turned the phone off and back on...no soft reset...no lost data.
First Post, not a real fix, but maybe a workaround.

Unfortunately this isn't a data connection problem. I am able to browse the web when this error occurs but not sync. I've seen it mentioned somewhere that this is some kind of memory leak problem....I don't know.

indicated the same problem with same activity, agressively moving emails around through your subfolders might be a significant cause, perhaps due to the sync process, and trying to keep up with you.
especially if you are loosing a connnection back to the server due to your circumstances, it is perhaps trying to queue the number of changes and trying to keep up. new technology probably is perhaps lacking a bit of thought in the process.
just my two bobs worth, and you get your bump anyway.

The same problem with Kaisar Rom wm6.1
Hi,
I have the same problem with kaisar after upgrading to WM6.1. I have many subfolders (over 50). Any solution to the problem?
Thanks
I got that error after something happened to the AS file on my pc. The Hermes tried to find the file but as it was missing it couldn't. Only solution was to delete the sync relationship and start again. Had all my contacts backed up as a precaution because you loose them all if you delete both sync folders - on pc and hermes...

Syncing too many folders causes error
I get that same error with my Touch, whenever I have too many (more than 20 or so) folders setup to synchronize. What's really annoying is that with WM 6.0 I could sync up to about 40, but with 6.1 I can do only half as many.
So far I am at a complete loss as to the cause.
maybe this guy is up to something that would help us

I started getting this error on my HTC Touch Pro when I decided to sync my appointments for the previous month instead of the previous two weeks. I was using ActiveSync through bluetooth. I didn't have any problems syncing until I made that change.
I decided to sync it through the USB cable instead and it sync'd without any errors. My guess is that the bluetooth connection was too slow to sync the larger amount of data.

I went from a stock rom to the evolution rom.

What should mean that it is out of memory.
