Activesync schedule and standby

Hi everyone,
first of all i want to thank you all for the excellent work... this forum is really a gold mine...
Anyway, my problem is:
I set Activesync (the one in the phone) to syncronise once every hour with my company's Exchange server between 9:00 and 17:00. As my company entire building is fully covered by WiFi, I was expecting activesync would use WiFi to syncronise, and connected to GPRS when that is not available...
Insted, with my great surprise, Activesync uses always GPRS !
I think that when AS turns the devices on, it finds no connected interfaces - WiFi need at least 5 seconds to connect - so it connects to GPRS!
The only solution I found is to schedule an appointment with an alarm to the device is on (and connected) when AS syncronises, but this leave some ugly "scars" on my calendar...
Anyone knows a solution for this problem?

If I understand You correct You use the Universal for syncing. This means You use ASync 4.0 or 4.1. I recall that Microsoft changed (for security reasons) the way to synchronize with ASync. Bluetooth is still available, but WiFi is NOT available anymore.
Not a nice information, but should "solve" your problem. No sorry, that's not solve, but "answer".

Currntly WM5 prevent you to sync with your computer through WiFi, but syncing with Exchange server is working - if I start Activesync manually it syncs using WiFi. If I am too fast (and manage to click sync before the WiFi is connected), it syncs through GPRS.

OK, sorry for that.
I am the one here now receiving information, where I wanted to answer You. Thanks very much for that information, but sorry I cannot be of any help.
I tried to contact with our ExchangeServer. It works through USB whilst connected to my office-PC, but does not work through WiFi, GPRS or even while being connected through USB to my home-PC. I am quite sure it has to do with our Exchangeserver not being configured correctly so I stopped bothering (more important things to do
As I have NO sync with the exchange working through GPRS I am not even getting as far as You are, not even noticing the problem You mention.
Hope somebody else will be of more help.

If you are not able to connect from the WiFi network and from home, this means that your system administrator does not trust internet and wireless, so he let you only connect through the office wired network...
I have not tested that, but I believe that Exchange uses an SSL connection, which should be safe even if you are connected through an unencrypted channel...
Normal AS connections (USB for example) are not encrypted, and MS, in its infinite wisdom, think that the user is too stupid to setup a wireless network properly (to be honest, i am still not able to connect with the Universal to my WPA home network)

My/our system administrator is willing to let me in, but simply does not know the exchange server software well enough to understand where he is making a mistake. He offered me to try as he was sure that he prepared the system correctly, the result was a no-go.
When we both get some spare time (which hardly happenes) we will try out some more. As with the internal firewall, spending enough time looking through the microsoft information will finally solve the problem, it's just that lack of time.
Pity that nobody else jumped on this thread yet to help You,

MDA Wi-Fi Problem Please Help

I recently got the Tmobile MDA unlocked to work on a Cingular network. Everything works great and I love this phone. There is one problem that is really annoying and I can't seem to find a good solution to it. Problem is with wi-fi, as it doesnt always want to connect to wireless networks, mainly it cannot get an IP address from a given network. I've tried multiple wireless networks, including the one at my home and work. It does connect once in a while and I am able to brows the web etc. But most of the time, it is having problems obtaining an ip address. I had WI-FI companion installed and also a Hitchhiker. Those programs really do make the connection process easier and faster, however the core problem with the phone remains the same. I've read multiple forum posts, registry hacks for emabling g mode etc...In general, I see that a lot of people are having similar problems with it, although I could not find a reasonable explanation of why is this device having such annoying wi-fi problems, nobody seems to know the exact answer or solution to this problem. Is there some manufacturing defect, ROM has an error ? Does anybody know what is the issue with this device ?
Thanks

Sync Problems with wizard and MS Active Sync 4.1

Hey guys,
Ok this sync is really bugging me, first it took me ages to work out why when i plugged it in the connection went green ina ctive sync and said connecting but wasnt working no matter how long i gave it - turns out it was a firewal problem,
but now when i plug in my wizard and the wizard says connecting under active sync but my computer active sync doesnt do anything, i tried switching usbs restarting both PC and Wizard to no avail, i know my PC is seeing somthing there because it says at first (when i plug into new USB port) found device etc etc, but then it installs it as a network connection and trys to aquire an IP/Network address from it!! that doesnt seem right to me!
Any advice would be great
Thanks
Nathan

hmm has anyone with a working active sync noticed if its installed as a network device for you? does the wizard work as a USB - GPRS modem? because that would explain that bit.
Thanks

Hmmm...
I'm gonna guess that no one is responding because you've basically said some things that lead everyone to believe you've not researched your device or problem before starting a new thread about issues that have been covered time and again.
First, by default Windows Mobile 5 (WM5) connects using the Network Connection method. If you want to use the old USB Serial connection your will need to upgrade to an AKU 2.2 or AKU 2.3 Rom.
Second, if you use the search function (see the top center of the screen) you will find numerous threads discussing several issues with ActiveSync.
Newbies are always welcome but you need to at least try to find your answers before just plopping donw a new thread.

Hi,
I did a search, and tried most of the suggestions, but i dont get this AKU2 thing? and couldnt find a deifnition.
but anyway im since broken the phone so thanks anyway guys

Check your vpn option and firewall option. If you using cisco vpn then uncheck "statefull firewall (always on)".

Help connect to wifi

Hi all:
I have an AT&T tilt. I am trying to connect through wifi. I can see the network I just don't get connected. I have gone out to local cafe where there is free access and can see their network but still I cannot connect. Any ideas?
Thanks

So, I am still trying to get connected to wifi. I have tried a new phone, I have talked to htc, I have talked to AT&T. No one seems to know what to do. Everyone points fingers at the other company. I tried to install a new radio. Everything else seems to work except for the wifi. Can anyone on here help?
Thanks

perhaps a little more info is needed?
-have you tried wifi at home/ friends house(with wep key, etc)?
-what happens when you try to connect?
-Does it try to connect but then switch to Available?
*most likely means that settings are incorrect or you do not have priveleges to access that.
-Or, does it try to connect but then switch to Unavailable?
*most likely means that your wlan isnt refreshing as often as it should.

I have tried different locations such as Starbucks etc. I am able to connect with my laptop. I can see the network on my phone. If I try to connect it says connecting and then available but it does not connect through wifi. I am sure there is some simple answer ( I hope) but I have read the manual, I have been to customer service several times, I have talked to HTC tech support, no ones seems able to get me connected.

It all works now
Ok, so I was about to return my Tilt for something else. I had been through sereral different tech supports at AT&T and HTC. No one could figure out what was wrong with the phone. Finally I tried flashing several different ROMs. Eventually I got Slueth's V3.0 to work. It works great. WiFi connects at multiple locations, the phone works, the camera, etc. So, thank you slueth for your rom.

Atnt pay-go media net hsdpa help

Hi all, need help with my liberated shift. It was working fine for the past 2 wks that I have had it. 3G worked flawlessly on both wm/vista.
I had installed Mozilla firefox browser on the vista side 2 days ago and now I can't get a connection. The wm side shows the connection to be 3g but I am not recieving any push mails or weather updates at all.
When I tried to manually send/receive I get an syncro error with no internet connection, yet the display shows 3g?
On the vista side, it just shows the connection to be local only. I uninstalled the Firefox/restarted but this problem is not going away. By the way..I have the performance at the vista side set to "high performance" as well. Please help me out...
Thank you

Same problem here since 5 minutes, re-installed german ROM, Provider E-Plus BASE, Data flat.
No idea, what happen...

What is really strange is that I am showing full bars @ 3g on the wm side...hopefully someone can bring some light to this matter...but glad that it's not a hardware issue as I am really enjoying this device..despite the battery life.

I had the same problem. It went away after updating connection settings in WM. My shift seem to periodically need that (or perhaps the "switch off..." that follows). Sorry if that was an obvious suggestion, but it realy helped me from a similar problem.
Also, the new usb... driver included in the driver update is said to ignore powersettings on vista. Since upgrading, I have run on powersawer mode without any network problems (provided that I safley remove usb stuff like SD or Lan, before hibernating vista). Have anyone else seen that?

as usual..thanks to all for the help... the real culprit was myself, as i had forgotten to pay the bill for the data service...all is good now... hehe.. so the only item that remains to be solved for me with this great device is the battery...all else is good!
thanks
