Can anyone help please?
I cannot get my xda mini to sync. Basically it just keeps running and nothing happens.
I have researched a lot of threads which refer to setting up a dummy server connection for what I presume is the the "exchange server" which I have attempted - is this a false IP address please?
On my PC, activesync diplays Exchange Server and my XDA with a list of the sync items below.
I keep getting a message on the XDA saying it cannot retrieve an IP address for the connection. Sometimes when I sync the try to connect via GPRS
I do have a wifi connection set up which now works (most of the time).
TIA.
I have the same problem as you with my QTEK 9100. Sometimes it works to connect the device to my portable computer (Compaq Presario 2800) via ActiveSync but mostly it does not. ActiveSync just keep looking for the device but doesnt find it.
I have also tried after that I have turned off the firewall and antivirus software, but it still doesnt work. The few (2-3 times) that it did work I had my firewall and antivirus running.
Anyone have an idea what I should do? It's a brand new QTEK 9100 (just got it a few days ago) with ROM 1.3.7.13 SVE, ROM date 9/29/05. Since I can't connect my device to the computer I can't upgrade the ROM.
turn off your firewall
disable your onboar intell wifi card if you have one
Does this happen to your device when you connect to Activesync immediatly after soft-resetting the device?
I have a similar problem, but I have no problems when I connect to AS for the first time, if I try connecting again before performing a Soft-reset AS won't find the device and the device becomes unasable, only soft-reset solves this problem.
Anyone else with these symptoms?

thanks but as I said I have turned off the firewall, and I don't have a built in wifi card in the laptop.

Yes it is the same problem no matter of the soft reboots. The only times I get it to work is when I have reinstalled the activesync 4.1 software on my laptop, after a reboot (of the laptop) it does not work; instead it only display a network icon with "Limited or no connectivity" (this is also without both firewall and antivirus installed) when I connect the device. The result is that AS can't find the device...
My theory is that it somehow looses the USB drivers installed with ActiveSync 4.1 when I reboot the computer. Anyone know how to fix this? Which (dll?) files belong to the USB drivers? I might be able to manually replace them in the correct path if I find that out...
any news??? I just met the same problem
simple enuf chaps...
i just met the same problem and the fix is pretty simple...
remove a/s 4.1
re-install a/s 3.7 / 3.8.1
re-establish the partnership
re-install 4.1
How do you get a connection between a WM5 device and ActiveSync 3.7 or 3.8?
I cannot get a partnership.
Is this because a WM5 uses IP-protocol for the connection?
thanks

I am using Dopod 838, the asia version of Qtek9100.
I also seems to have problem on activesync 4.1 which keep on sync and fail to connect. When it fail. I will try
1) In Windows Task Manager, kill wcescomm.exe
2) Kill everything in wizard
3) manually turn-on activesync4.1 on pc again.
4) connect wizard with PC again..
I just bought my phone for 2 days and i have to try a few more times to confirm it really helps.. may be you can give it a try too.

you will need AS 4.0 and above for all WM5 devices
You might want to check device manager when your device is hooked up via USB and make sure there are no exclamation marks on your handheld device.
I have a laptop and I only installed ActiveSync 4.1 and it works fine. I've even re-imaged my laptop since getting the phone and wasn't a problem second time around. I also installed 4.1 on my work PC and it works fine there too.
Not sure if you can use anything older than 4.0. (Not sure the reasons why)
At work I tried to use 3.8 (Just for the hell of it) but 4.0 updates all the USB drivers and stuff. Anything below 4.0 will not recognize WM 5.0 devices as jfran said. After installing 4.x I don't know the reason or need to uninstall then install something older then uninstall and reinstall 4.x.
It should work straight after install. However I do NOT know what happens if by chance you had an older version of ActiveSync then tried upgrading to 4.x. Should work though. I know people have had success upgrading from 3.7 and 3.8 to 4.1 to use the newer Dell Axim x51v which have WM 5.0 here in my environment.
Thanks everybody for your replies,
it was after hamish_dy tip I wanted to know how to get an connection between AS3.x and a WM5 device, since I haven't been able to do so. And I also have read that WM5 needs AS 4.x in order to sync.
Have had my Qtek9100 now for a week, and have been studied this forum in detail for a solution on my problem.
Previously I had a Qtek S100 which synced with my laptop together with AS 3.8. My company uses Groupwise as e-mail system, but with Outlook 2002 also installed on laptop I got it working (also after some days of trial).
Now with my Qtek9100 nothing happends when I plug in the USB-cable. Well not true, it will connect with an IP-address and I can from AS see the filestructure on my Qtek, BUT nothing starts syncing (calendar, contacts, e-mails,etc.). I watch task-manager but nothing kicks in. Previously with my S100, mapisp32.exe always kicked in and was the magic component between outlook and groupwise. With AS 4.1 everything is dead in task-mgr. I also receive the 85010014-error message sometimes.
Have uninstalled AS 4.1 several times, cleaned out registry of AS keys, rebooted, installed AS again, reinstalled outlook, turned firewall off, turned antivirus off, soft-reseted my qtek, and so on. Have downloaded the swedish version of AS 4.1, since my Qtek has swedish language, and thought that was the reason. But no. Soon out of options and ready to take my new qtek back to the dealer.
Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.
thx in advance.

One thing you should try before sending your device in is to try sycnching up on a clean machine, i.e. (a freshly imaged machine)
I'm assuming initiating a manual sync does nothing?

No, manual sync does nothing.
If I can't find any solution before mid-next-week, I will find a workstation at work and load only the minimal components/applications needed and try to nail down the issue, as a last try. I work with IT myself so I'm not keen to reimage my laptop, there are just too many things to reinstall.
thanks for the advice!

Active Sync Sync via USB Resolved (well for me anyway)
Over the last month I have not been able to sync my Wizard to my laptop via USB. Via bluetooth worked a treat, but I was not able to upgrade ROM via btooth.
This morning, completely by accident I resolved the issue with USB sync'ing to Active sync 4.1.
This works for me:
1. Connect Wizard to laptop via USB (you will get the usual problem, with ActiveSync saying "Connecting" and nothing else
2. Whilst phone is still connected via USB perform soft reset on phone
3. The laptop system tray should display "Found new USB device" and then say "Pocket PC USB Sync found"
4. When the laptop / pc has finished installing software and displays "Your new hardware is installed and ready to use" Disconnect the USB cable from your Wizard.
5. Wait a couple of seconds and then reconnect your Wizard via USB and hopefully it will work.
Please let me know if this works for anyone else!
One more thing you could try before throwing it back at the salesman is to check your network connections.
Go to Control Panel and select network connections - make sure you are set to view details and look for the "Local Area Connection" that has a description of "Windows Mobile-based Device". On mine it is "Local Area Connection 3". You may have to scroll to the right to see the description.
Right click the relevant connection and then click "properties". Make sure that the following entries ONLY have a tick next to them.
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
For some reason on mine none of them were initially selected :?
Click OK, when I did this it started syncing straight away!
Good luck!
I am also having a problem with activesync 4.1, up until now i have been able to sync perfectly via bluetooth or usb. However now when i try and sync activesync on my PC says connecting and nothing happens!!
I have tried everything, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed on my laptop (same problem)....
Given i have the same problem on 2 different PC's i am starting to think that its actually the Mini S and not the PC thats the problem. I feel a hard reset coming.............

Hard reset has done the trick, so it turns out all problems may not be down to our pc's......
The same thing happens for me sometimes. What I have found ou this helps.
Unplug pda from sync cable. Kill all active programs on the pda. Plug in sync cable again. Viola! It syncs.
I have the same trouble, activesync just says connecting and thats it, i havent found any particular reason for it. SR does not help, just HR which is kind of overkill. Im really glad for the sprite backup software. I have tried all different things i could think of while i couldnt sync and nothing helped. I have allready about 3 HR after me.
This is probably really remedial but I'm a Mac user so it's foreign to me. I had an Imate Jam working great with Active Sync 3.8 on Win XP Pro.
Now I have the MDA and have installed Active Sync 4.1 (even tried 4.2). When I plug in the MDA, Windows makes the 'donk' sound to advise something's been connected but it just shows a 'Generic RNDIS' device connected and the add hardware wizard says the device cannot start (yes it's turned on).
I don't see any drivers on the T-Mobile CD that came with the product....is there something else I have to do to install this thing so Active Sync recognizes it?
<edit> I've attached a picture of the hardware manager...
When I uninstall the driver and re-plug in the device, it's immediately recognized as a Windows Mobile-based device but then I get the error: "A problem occured during hardware installation. Your device may not work properly." This happens each time I try it, even after a restart.
thanks,

hi buddy
i've had that XPerience when i've connected my brand new prophet (o2 xda neo) to my pc via usb 2.0 hub. i was going nuts, because all older partnerships to devices i've established before i've bought the hub did work... if you do the same - change it! at least one time you should connect the ppc directly to an available usb connector on your pc until you have established a partnership. also i would recommend to install active sync 4.2 beta (use the search here to find the link), it fixes some connecting trouble... let us know if any of these tips helped at all or if you found your own solution...
cheers, lutz
Try disabling your firewalls these are the usual culprits to stop syncing. You can add activesync to the list of acceptable programs if you use something like zone alarm firewall etc.. I have the windows firewall disabled.
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried connecting directly to the USB port -- no dice. I only have the Windows Firewall which was already showing ActiveSync as an allowed application but I turned it off and still nothing changes.
The device manager reports:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.
The troubleshooter basically instructs me to delete the device and try again, which I've done a dozen times, restarted both phone & computer. Still nothing.
Another trick that worked for me, if you have a network socket even if you dont have a network cable attached, enable network connections on your computer and try again. Whenever you change settings on your computer uninstall activesync and reinstall it. Hope that helps.
AS not connecting
For some reason, I had to repair/re-install AS. After re-booting, XP Pro/AS 4.2Beta recognized the Wizard again (Cing 8125) as all was well.
It's been stable the past few days, I think because I'm not trying to sync at work (I just cancel and use Guest).
Not a great answer, but good luck...
paul
Thanks, still no go. I do have an active Internet connection. I'm not so sure this has anything to do with ActiveSync as the computer doesn't even get to a successful install of the hardware....it always says a problem occured and the hardware may not work properly.
Succes...almost. I left the phone plugged in and restarted (after deleting the hardware profile) and when the PC rebooted it made that oh-so-sweet ActiveSync connected sound. Then AS quit and I was back to where I started in the post before....doh!
Just for kicks I plugged in my old Jam and it worked just fine, the hardward was recognized right away.
This leads me to believe something may be hosed on my MDA? Weird because it charges fine and everything else is great...it was a brand new unopened box from the local T-Mo retailer.
Hmmm...
BNDIS Connector
Guys,
Not sure that this is the solution, but this is what happened to me too. The way that Active Sync 4.x talks to a WM5 device is as a network device, not a USB device as in WM2003/Active Sync 3.x.
So, what you need to do is make sure that your PPC, which when connected to the PC shows up in the Device manager as a BDNIS network adapter, is to ensure that the BNDIS connector has an IP Address.
The easiest way to do this, connect the PPC to the PC and here the ping sound.
Right click on the My Network Places icon and select Properties
In the Network Connections Window, select Views > Details.
Find the Network Adapter that has the Device Name of the BNDIS connector.
Right click on this Network Adapter
Ensure that Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked.
My guess is that it is not checked
If it is, check the properties for the Internet Protocol (TCP..) and ensure that DHCP is selected.
Hope this helps -

This happened to me too. ActiveSync 4.1 worked perfectly until my WinXP Machine crashed and I had to reload.
When I reloaded, ActiveSync acting in the same manner.
I'll try this tonight and see if works for me. Hope so.

You can still use your mac & missing sync 2.5 alpha & for most things it will work fine, but functionality is limited & sync only via BT. - it does ical, Address Book & tasks & time sync. & you can also install programs & documents as well. for media I just copy the songs straight to my mini sd card via a card reader.
Some programs will only install via windows, but as I have an intel iMac I run windows as well & activesync so far works well for me, but I have to disable the contacts/tasks/calendar or I end up with dupicate entries etc.
jkossowsky - awesome info. The problem I'm having is that the device does not show up in the network adapters. When I plug it in, it tells me there was a problem with the device and it could not be started.
Device Recognized
You need to install Active Sync 4.x before plugging in your device.
So, to be really really safe, go to Device Manager, look at the Unrecognized Devices section, find your unrecognized device and right click on it and remove it.
Install Active Sync 4.x
(if you already installed it, uninstall it, reboot and reinstall it again)
Once it is installed, plug in your device and it should be recognized as a Network Adapter.
If Active Sync does not automatically find the device, follow the instructions from my post above.
Uninstall Activesync, reboot, Reinstall Activesync, Reboot, plug in device.
pray
if that fails, attached are the proper INF files, manually update them to this, and see if that helps.
Thanks for the info, I'll give this a try. The thing that really killed me is that my old iMate Jam connected fine during this whole ordeal.
I exchanged the Wizard for a new one and still had the same issue. I finally tried syncing it on a new laptop running Win XP Pro and was able to get it to connect.
I'll try the suggestions above on the previous machine to see if I can get it to recognize the phone. Atleast I know the phone is not defective now.
Darn, no dice on that manual driver install...I get 'the specified location does not contain information about your device'

There's an issue with 4.x ActiveSync [AS] and Windows Firewall. Even though AS is listed in the exceptions, it doesn't work properly......
See here.......... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
I had this also - bugged me for weeks.
I found that the AS suite I downloaded from the MS site - regardless of version - would never find the Wizard. Only when I installed the version on the CD that came with the dvice would it connect - even though I think it was only AS 4.0.
Although I imagine you've aalready tried the CD version if you have one...
Hi,
I have been suffering with a persistant Activesync connection problem. It usually connects and syncs fine the first time I boot my machine, but after around five minutes it almost always disconnects (though my Vario II continues to charge). Unplugging and replugging the USB cable does not work and the Activesync icon remains grey. Trying to start the connection manually either from the Vario II or from Activesync on the desktop also does not reconnect the device. In fact the only way to get it to connect again is to reboot my PC.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 downloaded from Microsoft this morning. I've tried deleting and recreating the partnerships, which does not help the issue. I've tried several USB cables which also do not resolve the issue, so I am now asking for your help.
If anyone has any insights into whaty might be happening I would appreciate your help...
Thanks,
Chris
I'm having the same problem, but in my case unplugging the cable from the device and plugging it again usually restarts the sync. Sometimes, however, I have to soft-reset to get it working again. Very annoying.
Hi Chris,
Ive had tons of issues with activesync on my works laptop..... I use a VPN and zonealarm... I used to have tno issues but since I got WM5 wich uses IP address's it always does the same thing as yours.. ive made sure the IP address is allowed in zone alarm.... my colleague also had this issue.. he managed to solve it by using a differnet USB port as his laptop has 3 one is on the side of the machine ... try using a different USB or disable zone alarm if you use it this could be causing the problem.
I sometimes get it to work if I have no VPN client running but as soon as I do use it the active sync stops.
Hope this may help you

I have exactly the same issue with my Vario II, never happened with my Vario and I have changed nothing other than my phone. Makes me think its summin to do with the harware possibly? Anyone else found a cure for this?
I Had the same problems, so I gave up on USB connection with active sync, I have 4 USB ports on my laptop and tried all, I now use bluetooth and works everytime.
There has always been problems with USB and actgive sync, so 4.2 was suppose to fix, but not for me.
I've got the same probelm on my Tytn. I've solve it to delete the Pocket Mechanic :shock: , I've done a S.R. and from now on the A.S. works correctly.
Ciao, Cesare
Had to use my old vario for a bit today, used activesync and it worked fine for the whole time I had it plugged in, got a new Vario II replacement today, got home and its exactly the same, would appear to be a mismatch between Vario II and activesync 4.2, can I connect by wifi?
Hello hmm the problem is if it uses direct or ip ,try go settings - connections - ( usb to pc ) and disable advance network funtctionality.
Hope that works
thanks
I had this problem too - I disabled advanced network capabilites in the "USB to PC" control panel under the Settings/Connections folder, and then Activsync stayed connected after that.
HTC TyTN 7/22/06 ROM
Just given that ago, Took me 5 attempts for the usb to pc connection settings screen to show up but then I realised it had to be plugged in to do it! Duh! What features do I loose by disabling ADVANCE NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY?
After the activesync working fine with my orange spv3100 for 4 weeks it suddenly refused to connect. I un-checked the "advanced functionality" box as suggested and it works again. Many thanks for the solution peeps.
I too would like to know what functions this deactivates.
Same problem, I've installed ActiveSync 4.5beta and now it stay connected, sometimes it disconnects but after restart of the phone it works again, one friend told me that the problem comes from the Activesync in the phone, so may be we have to look for the problem in the phone not in the PC
Activesync 4.2 problem
Hi all,
I too started having the same problems with Activesync 4.2 hanging my phone if left charging overnight. I decided to disable the advance network connection and that worked for a while. Now the phone wont sync AT ALL. It charges, but I can't do anything else. I reinstalled the Activesync 4.2, did a soft reset, off-on to the mobile, turn off-on my computer and still nothing. I will d/l Activesync 4.5 beta to see if that solves the problem, but it looks to be a problem with the Activesync in the mobile and not the one in the computer. I did the troubleshooting and it is detecting the USB connection but does not sync. I would really like to know if wireless sync can be achieved. Will post any fix if I find one. BTW my mobile is about a month and a half.

Sync problems with tytn
I've read through all the messages in this thread and wondered if someone could help me with some problems i've been having with syncing mine with a laptop. Often when I have the device plugged in when i boot up the laptop activesync won't start until i've disconnected the usb cable then reconnected it again-i never had this problem with the imate jam. My second problem arises when sometimes it says on the files section that there are un resolved items???? i then try to resolve the issue and a wizard comes up with add or remove buttons.afraid that i might remove something essential i tried the add button hoping this might resolve the issue-it didn't. i then gave up as nothing worked. after switching the laptop off and then syncing a day later there were no items to resolve so what exactly is happening. how can there be unresolved items one minute and nothing the next.also i hadn't done anything different on the tytn.if i select the add button on the window does it add a copy of the file highlighted and could this affect the operation of the device.Sorry if this seems a little confusing but i never had this problem with an xda exec or an imate jam.
please could someone help a non technical fifty something.

I agree, where is this option?
I'm running version 4.2 and along the top bar all I'm seeing is:
File - View - Tools - Help
Nothing like "Settings" and/or "Connections" in sight. Under "File" there is the "Connection Settings" option, but nowhere does it mention "Advanced Networking Functionality".......
Can someone explain this please?!
The "Advanced Networking Functionality" is on your phone, not on desktop's activesync.
On WM5, go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and you will find the "Enable Advanced network functionality" option.

Hi,
My hdd gave up in my laptop other day bought another 1 installed vista
now im having connection problems both with bluetooth and via usb with my
t-mobile ameo
does any 1 know if there is a update some where to get them working again
ive done a windows update and installed windows mobile device centre
thanks
Im running Vista business edition and had no problems at all - even updated my rom!
What do you get when you plus the Ameo in? Does it show up in the Device centre?
sync centre has just got the usual offline folder
windows mobile device centre 6.1 has the mobile device settings and the not
connected bit at the bottom
its so weired it all synced b4 theres nothing different installed setup etc...
on the device it says "to synchronize this device, you must install activesync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer"
thanks
How Wierd.... mine lliterally just fired up autoomatically.
In your PPC, go to SETTING -> CONNECTIONS -> USB TO PC. Untick the "ENABLE ADVANCED NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY". Remove the connection by unplugging your USB cable and the plugging it again. No guarantee this will work, but you may try.
IT Works
i tried the unticking the advance option still didnt work...
i thought about the user account control in vista this came as my mobile
data card for my laptop wasnt installed correctly and after checking out the
install log and it saying access control n a load of other stuff saying
permission denied etc.... i thought id turn vistas user account control off this
fixed my data card problem ......i then pluged my t-mobile ameo in and hey
presto it picked it up as a black HTC Advantage due to my mobile 6 rom
upgrade
I believe Active Sync won't work on Visat, you need Mobile Device Center, available here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ea-9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&displaylang=en
Makes sense as I have crappy user control switched off as it annoyed me greatly!
Vista Utlimate Connects but refuses access.
This solution worked instantly for us.

We had downloaded the upgrade device driver and the Windoze Vista replacement for ActiveSync... as Vista dictates on first connection.
We got the sound effect acknowledging USB connection, but Windoze Mobile Device Centre obstinately ignored the connection.
We tried the tricks suggested by the mages and sages, like adding ports etc. to the firewall, and deleting the driver in the Vista Device Manager... forcing it to re-install. None of it worked for the Ameos.
We removed the Mobile Device Centre and the upgraded driver, resolving to connect to the Ameos only via our XP Tablet instead.
It seemed that the USB connection was being made, but something else was blocking it.
Then this possible solution (reproduced here) caught our eye.
It was the work of a moment to follow the path and remove the check in that item.
Imagine our surprise and delight when we connected to Windoze Vista Ultimate again... and remember that there is no upgraded driver or Mobile Device Centre installed now... and we got the "what shall I do with this device" dialogue box. We checked the item to open the device in a folder each time and... it did... and does... just that.
We do not need synchronisation for our use of the Ameos since all of the significant email and document traffic occurs on the laptops and Tablet, but we can appreciate why someone would want that Mobile Device Centre to be re-installed. We won't be doing that anytime soon though.
Congratulations to you cayotte, and this forum as a whole.
BTW, I read about the problems folks have with the Microdrive. We have two Ameos. One works great with the Microdrive, the other one does not, and we have to leave it for data files only.
The older unit is the one which works well.
We already had the User Account Control turned off so I cannot say if that had any effect.

I upgraded my firmware to 2.17 from 2.09 and now my phone cannot sync email while the USB is connected to my pc. Anyway to fix this?
I had this issue with the 2.09 and currently have it with 2.17. Sprint tech help was unaware of this issue (big shock). Does anyone know the answer?

Do you loose all internet connectivity while docked? Have you checked this setting:
On the computer, open ActiveSync and navigate to: File -> Connection Settings..., make sure that "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is checked.

i have the same issue, and the check to allow connections is turned on, at least in xp. I can't find the same option in vista.
I would assume that if I dropped a new ROM on my device I would need to configure a whole new ActiveSync profile. Unfortunately, from my own experience, ActiveSync is a B***H when it comes to having 2 sync profiles. I remember even uninstalling AS and trying to remove all references in Program Files and REG and it still thought I was syncing with the same device.
I would have to suggest something extreme. Installing AS on another PC and trying to sync or... reimage your PC and reinstall AS fresh.
I had the same issue, there is a thread on msn about this...

For me, turning on wifi on and then back off via the hard switch seems to fix the issue. Hope it helps.
try settings-connection-usb to pc- and uncheck Enable Advanced Network Functionality
