Hello Everyone,
I have my XDA 2S configured to Sync Mail/Contacts/Calendar with our Exchange server over the Internet connection. Whether I am wireless at home, or use GPRS when Im out and about, its really rather effective.
However, generally speaking, I want to only have the Sync happen when I press send / receive from within the Inbox app, or when I select Sync from within Activesync. I would then expect that I can disconnect the GPRS and forget about it.
What actually seems to happen is that Activesync stays active, and the sync happens every 5 mins or so after that. Even if I close activesync down (yes its really closed, using PocketNav) it seems to re appear and resync again. I have to do a soft reset to stop it happening.
Any Ideas?
Hit Start and go to Active Sync. Make sure you are NOT connected to ActiveSync.
Hit Tools and go to Options.
Uncheck the two check boxes indicating syncing with the device. After this hit Options.
Please make sure that When Cradle, Enable PC Sync through USB and not through modem or any other connection.
After this put the dot on Disconnect when done. Usually it tries to maintain connection.
Hit OK.
In activesync go to Tools -->Options, then hit the "Mobile Schedule" tab on the bottom of the screen. Choose "manually" from all three of the drop down boxes. That should take care of it. You can only access the "options" menu in Activesync if you are not currently connected to your PC or connected to the exchange server via GPRS.

Hi,
Activesynch 3.8 allowed you to select whether the computer or XDA would be prioritsed in case of information conflict.
I am now using Activesynch 4.2 which does not seem to offer the user to select if a conflict arises.
I have lost a couple of appointments because the PC overode the XDA.
Anyone got any hints to improve ActiveSynch??
Thanks
I have exactly the same gripe moving from my SPV C500 which ran Active Sync 3.8. That version of Active Sync was great. It synced almost twice as fast as this newer more improved version... And as you say it also gave the option of which device to use as the master in the event that two records were identified on both PC and SPV and they differed in the details.
Why oh why did Microsoft change this???!!!!
Beta 4.5 (2) allows you to choose when a conflict is found, it is available on the microsoft downloads site.
Doesn't the "Souce Settings" on the Activesynce running on your PDA work for this??
If there is a conflict, you select either
"replace the item on my device" or
"Keep the item on my device"
I thought this is what this settings if for??
Hey... trying to sync my contacts from outlook onto my new orbit.
when i connect the device it takes me through the wizard and i select contacts to sync. it comes up 'connected' and the 'explore' button is ighlighted ... but it doesn't sync and the 'sync' button is greyed out. the tools/options command is also greyed out. when i disconnect and reconnect the device i get the wizard again thinking it is a completely new device and i set it up again... this happens over and over!! all i want to do is sync my contacts!!!!...

I was trying to access the PC side of Activesynch when not connected to Orbit.
Itr;s much easier to understand on the Orbit end.
Thanks again!
btw, Activesync 4.5 (after beta) is available.

In activesync click 'tools' then 'options'. Right click on the PC name (Right at the top - not the individual applications). Click 'source settings'. You can then select the source in case of conflict.

I have a few email accounts set up in pocket-outlook, but always have to send/receive each separately when I have a wifi and also have to manually make ActiveSync sync to mail2web, why doesn't it do automatically? it would save a lot of effort..
I've been looking through all the settings, there's no option to get this done automatically :/ it's quite a drag..
can anyone point me in the right direction?
hmm
interested in this topic, with schaps advance config you can set to connect automatically to gprs, however ... wifi not so sure. Latest MSN with no IM also wakes up GPRS connection upon boot, and in a way activates the synchronisation of my web2mail exchange server. Wifi is a lot 'cheaper' hehe ... and I believe stock shipped ROM is able to do it at least on my bro's polaris wifi stays on after a soft reset, and doesn't die when in sleep mode either.
Will be keen for someone to have a cab file for this,....
i have the same issue.
what i did was to do it kind of half-automated:
create a shortcut to start sync so that you do not have to go into your email application and start sync from there.
Code:
20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "Privat" -Sync
if you have more email accounts consider using mortscript.
still not sure how to start sync once a wifi connection has been established.
HI
I have a question about the synchronizing emails from outlook.
well normally I use wifi or edge to download my email from my HD, but then when I synchronize it with my computer download again the same emails but put them in the outlook folders, is there any way to avoid this? I mean if I already have the email then activesync should not downloaded again from outlook right?

from what you describe i'm going to assume a few things, one of which is that you DO NOT use Exchange for your mail, in this case WinMo thinks your mail is from different sources/accounts, no way around that, that's how it is.
consider disabling ActiveSync for Outlook Mail.
connect your device
open ActiveSync on the PC
go to tools > options
uncheck "E-mail"
click ok
let it sync
when satisfied delete the Outlook mail from your Device
mm, thanks for your advice, and yes I use POP3 accounts, and the idea is to download the email from my phone when I'm on the go, but use activesync when I'm in my house because it's free ,
ActiveSync gives your phone a free internet connection through you PC. your POP mail will be downloadded for free using the ActiveSync connection!
you can also make ActiveSync disallow the phone to use EDGE/3G
open ActiveSync > File > Connection Setting
UN-check "Allow Wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop"
Hey Forum,
I have my HD mini for a few days now and I've set up two different IMAP email accounts. One is a Gmail account, the other is off a domain i own.
When I have WIFI enabled, then everything is fine.. I go to an Inbox and hit menu => send/recieve and the new mails arrive.
When I then disable the WIFI connection, then my phone doesn't do anything. It just states "Connecting" in the status bar and then pops out a message saying that it couldn't connect and I should check the settings.
Meanwhile, I can use the mobile internet off my contract without a problem in other apps. Say Opera, IE, Facebook and so on. So the Link is up, just the emails won't work.
What I tried:
- changing the ssigned connection to the mobile one in:
"Mail Inbox => menu => extras => options => choose mail accounts => edit settings, continued to mail-out server, there is an "advanced settings" link where I can set the assigned connction either to "internet" or to "contract name".
When Internet is chosen, I can fetch mails via WIFI.
Otherwise, when my provider (T-Mobile Internet) is chosen or WIFI is disabled, then nothing works.
What the hell is that? This can't be a feature, right? How can I fix this?
Thanks
€dit: Sorry, I didn't recognized that I was posting in the wrong Forum. SHould have gone to the "General" board.,..
try:
-windows button
- e-mail
- select your account
- edit account setup
-next, next, until outgoing (smtp) mail server
-you'l find advanced server setting on the bottom, click on it
-select your main internet connection (anything else than The Internet)
this should work

HI Radu,
sadly, this does not work with my IMAP accounts!
I just did a RESET on my phone because of this error and it still does nothing. everything else works... I can use web, some apps like facebook, peep, skype, pigeon IM and so on!
Side note: When I
- set any account to use "Internet" (not the 3g contract)
- then disable WLAN and my contract data connection
- head over to an inbox of a mail-acc
- press send/recieve from the menu
THEN: 3G connection is being connected, in status i can read:
- connecting ...
- logging in ...
then it aborts.
sometimes the phone says "synchronisation error" and sometimes it says I should check my account setup. But like I've mentioned the setup is fine. as soon as WIFI is enabled, all the accounts do work.
I have a mobile flat rate via "mobilcom debitel" which is in the german T-Mobile net.
I'm just a tip away from dumping that crap on the ground and stomping on it untill I arrive in australia.
Thanks for your time
OK. Solution found. The contract mobilcom debitel D1 aborts all connections to IMAP/POP because they want to sell their Push-Mail package.
****ing annoying.
I had this problem on my BlackBerry, too, and I figured it was some stupid RIM thing. But now I'm having it on my Touch Pro 2.
I want to run on WiFi but with the radio off -- like when I'm roaming someplace expensive, but in a hotel where there's WiFi. When I do this, I can browse just fine, but the Inbox (standard WM mail program) says it can't make a connection. When I turn the radio back on, the mail comes through... but I don't know which connection it's using.
Anybody know how to fix this? Or at least, what's going on?
I dont know exactly what the problem is here, but i've always had this problem, I actually havent even tried just wifi in a while. I would say just use the http version of your email when you turn the radio off to save the frustration
I found the answer.
The connection that the Inbox uses to contact the server is set in the server settings -- so you can have a different approach for each server, I guess. Anyway, it's:
Tools > Options
Then tap the name of the server you want to change. On the next screen, tap Edit Account Setup. Then it's Next, Next, Next, Next, (4 of them) until you get to the screen that says Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: and lets you set up an outgoing server. At the bottom is a link that says Advanced Server Settings. Tap that, and look at the pull-down for Network Connection. There should be one called The Internet, which does NOT exist in Start > Settings > Connections. As far as I can tell, that's the WiFi. If you choose that, then tap Next until you tap Finished, Inbox will retreive E-mail via WiFi even if the radio is turned off.

Thanks!!! That works well on every pop-email-account for me!
But how can I choose the connection for my hotmail-account in the inbox? I found no way to prevent using the GSM-connection without switching the radio off, when I try to update my hotmail-account.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
