Active sync dead!!

Hi guys, my active sync was not working for desktop so i reinstalled it, but after doin that, when i plug it in the cradle it says connecting on the computer only, thats it, my pda does not recognize anything else, not even the syncing symbol. Any ideas? i have donea soft reset already.

Active Sync Stopped Recognising - help!!!

Active sync get on my nerves!
I've had a partnershhip set up at work which was woking fine - it's how i transferred over my contacts from my wizard. Anyway, it's just stopped working and i cant figure it out! Please Help!!!
I was using 4.1 so upgraded to 4.5 to see if it made a difference - nope.
I unticked the 'usb to pc' box to disable enahnced connectivity - nope.
I've had the same problems at home using vista's Mobile Centre thingy.
Basically it looks like it's trying to connect but doesn't manage to. I can only think there's a setting on the device that has changed somehow.
Oh, and i've disabled the firewall to see if that would make any difference. The fact that it doesn't work at home either implies it's not that problem anyway.
Advice please!!!!!!

Try .. Start Activesyn on phone manually and push the sync button manually (when USB connected to the PC).

Hi. I had tried this. Ended up getting so frustrated that i deleted my partnerships from pc and phone so now don't even have this option on the orbit.
When i connect the usb the active syn green arrows turn and it does say connecting - but in AS 5 it comes up with the troubleshooter. In vista it doesn't do anything at all!!!
Very frustrated!
oh.. and the local area connection show connected...

OK... so reinstalled AS 4.1 and now when I connect it is stuck on 'Connecting' ... hasn't stopped 'Connecting' for about an hour now!
Now i've noticed that windows now thinks this is 'windows mobile device #8' coming in at 'Local area connection 10' ... not long ago i;m sure it was connection 4 and i certainly don't have 7 more devices!!
help!

I had a similar problem on my new Asus laptop and it turned out to be a nasty little proprietary program called net4switch that was gumming up the works. I turned it off and now all's well. It's a long shot that you have an Asus but, on the other hand, you might check to see if a network connection proggy is hindering your connection.

Nope, no ASUS laptop. Don't think i have any network apps installed - although i had though maybe the work network was holding me back!
But then again, it did work when i first had it - at work and at home! Now, all of a sudden it doesn't sync anywhere! Very very annoying!
I'm really hoping i can avoid a hard reset!!

When I run into this problem, I unplug the phone and then reboot the computer.
After the computer has finished rebooting 100%, then everything works fine again.

try updating active sync to Version 4.5 - that's the offical advice and it wored for me

OK.. I've upgraded my work computer to 4.5 ... no joy so back to 4.1.
Anyway, got VISTA at home so main issue is there.
Realised it's GOT TO BE the phone now though. Decided I'd try to plug in my Wizard and see if i get the same problems. I didn't, IT WORKS fine!
Orbit still doesn't.... HELP!!

ok.. reluctantly hit those hard reset keys and to my delight everything now works...
... i'm thinking MAYBE that i may have overclocked too much - only went as high as 260 once - so am going to hang back from battery status until i hear it's safe.
Thanks for all your help!

I have had this problem before, solved it mainly by following advice here, its now back again have...
- reinstalled activ sync several times
- hard reset twice
- boxes checked and unchecked all the same result
however i did use it yesterday in the car and probably, thinking back, start the engine with the with unit plugged in and charging.
i have also tried soft resets and different usb ports
not impressed
UPDATE
its now decided to work? oh well not sure what i did

Right, i've had the same problem. Fortunately i've got 2 Orbits at work to play about with, and after every possible combination going, i've found what the problem is........
Like previously posted, it is a hardware problem, however, in my case it was to do with the connection.
Quite simply all i did was insert the cable into the Orbit (not connecting). Then i would rest my hole punch on the connection next to the orbit - forcing the Orbit to lift upwards. And hey presto it works !
Hop this helps people

Computer doesnt recognise at all!! help

Hi,
My Hermes seems to have stopped talking to the computer. I have tried different computers, hard reset, sim out, sd card out, different cables.
When it is plugged in it charges, but it doesnt show any connection to active sync. I have also tried using WM5Storage and the computer just does nothing. Ive tried in bootloader aswell, still shows no sign of a connection.
help, is my usb port stuffed?

nope, neither your hermes or your computer has a bug
i've got the same problem, look 4 solution here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
what i've done: kill the following tasks with taskmgr
Wcesmgr.exe
Wcescomm.exe
Rapimgr.exe
and restart it with tastmgr (ony my system, i wasn't able to start rapimgr.exe, bot no problem it works ok)
i've to do this sometimes, but most of the time my active sync works as it shoulds
greets, donatello

nah ive had that problem before. Its not that. My computer simply just doesnt see anything at the other end of the cable. ive killed active sync, reinstalled, different computers. It just simply doesnt connect, as a phone or as a hard drive if wm5 is running. Cheers for your reply though

Go to Settings/Connections/USB to PC and uncheck "Enable advanced..." this solved all my connections problems between my M3100 and the computer. I don't remember when this problem first occurs (I flahed so many cooleked ROMs !) but this is how I connect now my phone. Good luck!

Connect To Pc

Hi all. Have recently discovered my "Connect to PC" function has stopped working on my Desire. The default connection type is set to "disk drive" and the "ask me" (everytime I connect phone to PC) is selected. When I now connect I dont get asked, and the disk drive function doesnt work. In fact, it doesnt matter what dafault setting I use as they all do the same thing, i.e only charge the phone. Have tried to connect on both my laptops (that both had previously worked), but neither now work. Tried power cycling the device but this hasnt had the "desired" effect.
Anyone else had this problem or am I just being/doing stupid. Its my first post so go easy chaps .
thanks

I have exactly the same problem, I cannot connect to PC. The PC must register it connecting and disconnecting as it 'pings' but nothing showing under My Comp and nothing appearing on the Desire; tried all the Connect to PC options but no joy. It charges okay via the PC but nothing else..
Help anyone?? Huge thanks,
Gareth

I had the same problem but I managed to fix it by uninstalling the drives for desire in device manager.
hope this works for u.

How to create an active Sync connection with a broken display?

Hi Guys,
I have a huge problem with my HTC Touch Pro 2, the display is broken but still working partly. But I can´t activate the Active Sync mode while connecting by USB cable.
So the problem is that i need the contacts, sms and calling history.
The only thing I can connect to, is the device as a hard disk so i have access to the SD card.
Is it some how possible to activate Active Sync without activiation through the display?
May be it could boot together with the device or something like that.
Actually I need the active sync connection for using the Mymobiler Software so that i could run PIMBackup and backup everything.
Or is it somehow possible to backup those things without using active sync.
Please help I really don´t know how to deal with this pitty situation...

tuch screen still works?
Before you broke display when you connect usb on display show popup with device connection options? May be better buy new display. I buy new display and tuch screen and pay for repair totall less than 50 usd.Display, touch screen.

The Touchscreen works only partly, well when i try to connect the device with USB, I see the screen where i can decide which type of connection I´d like to choose but its only partly and the part which is needed for connecting the phone by active sync is still in the part which is broken.

You don't need your screen for setting up a connection do you?
Are you really using active sync of windows mobile centrum. You could try that, it is available on windows vista / 7 if you connect your phone, and then search for an windows update, it should show windows mobile...

Can you get into the start menu, into settings and change the USB connection type to always default to ActiveSync?
