Just upgraded to WM5 himalaya port - thanks to everyone for their hard work!
I also added magic button and that's when I noticed that active sync keeps popping up on my device. It doesn't wake the device up, but every few minutes the active sync icon appears.
I have looked in the active sync options but I cant seem to find anything that would show how to turn it off, and schedule is greyed out.
Happens with both BT on and with BT off. Craddled or not. So far WiFi is off too.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Peter
Also I noticed that once I enabled bluetooth..activesync disconnected from the PC (in the cradle) and tried to connect via BT. I see nothing under BT options. How can I disable AS over BT?

Howdy,
I've been reading this forum for a couple of days now and must say am very happy to have found it.
In the meantime, I've upgraded my radio (1.12) and bluetooth software (3900) - but have just found something "interesting"...
When the xda is on - blutooth works fine - however after switching the device off - the bluetooth connection drops out for some reason.. having said that - I've read many posts about poor bluetooth performance issues etc - but it appears that this is a new thing?
Amusingly enough - when the xda2s is turned back on, the bluetooth icon in the systray reflects the fact that BT has in fact been turned off.
So here's the series of events:
1. xda is on - bluetooth systray icon is blue - showing "connected status". Headset icon in upper bar also showing.
2. xda is off - no bluetooth connection - (incoming phone calls etc don't go to headset - takes ages to connect etc.)
3. xda turned back on after being off - 1st second after being turned back on: BT systray icon shows "connected", but immediately goes red to show "not connected" or "BT *off*", then in the following couple of seconds turns itself back on to show "BT on"...
Very strange!!
Is this a freak incident or is there some setting to keep BT on/off upon power-off?
Any thoughts?

Me too, same problem
Next to the echo issue also this is very bad.
Can broadcom not make a better bluetooth stack ?
Unbelivable, so much money spend on a machine and then this Phone/Bluetooth quality.
Upgrade to BT 3900 and use screenlock
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14621
to turn off the XDA, not the power button and set the XDA power preferences to never power off.
It's the screen that eats the battery power, so screenlock will help here, but your BT connection will stay alive (also consuming power).
I own my orbit since 4 month now, but just recently
I noticed that the display doesn't come up as long
as I am connected to any power source (usb/plug).
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case from the beginning.
The display switches on as soon as I unplug power though.
I already searched the archives and tried to remove
all today plug-ins as well as softreset to no avail.
Anybody seen that before and/or knows how to get
rid of this annoyance?
Thanks in advance
Try Start > Settings > System > Backlight
There are seperate settings for the backilght depending whether its running on battery power of external power. Make sure that the "On external power" setting is not turned down to power save.
Backlight on external is 100%; backlight on battery is 70%
that should be o.k.
Thanks anyway
Have you installed SPS Pocket Plus? If so that's properbly the problem, change the backlight setting within SPB Pocket Plus and you'll be fine.
I've had that a few times - usually when the orbit has lost its activesync relationship. Backlight settings and power settings are a-ok, and only fix I've found is a rebuild
Well just in case anybody runs into the same kind of problem here is what I found. Now I nerver had SPS Pocket Plus so it didn't have to to with that.
I believe it actually has to do with what Big Kuri said regarding losing
ActiveSync relationship while backlight is off.
Well by accident I into a solution much less troublesome than a hardreset.
- with Backlight on connect the Orbit to your computer (ActiveSysnc)
- let it finisc ActiveSync connection
- with the backlight still on do a softreset no your Orbit
=> after booting up (still connected to the computer) everything was fixed
for me.

Trying to switch from Kavana to Ricky & Active Sync disconnects. Each time when the phone goes white, activesync disconnects and unable to continue the rom install.
*Edit* When I try to soft reset (left and right soft keys) and the dos looking screen shows up, active sync is disabled.
When I try to enter bootloader (rainbow screen) active sync is also disabled.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.
mods - you can delete. hes all set.
Running WM 6.5 on a TMob Dash. Have the same rom on two phones but on the wifes whenever I go up to the connection slide and select Wifi. It says Disconnecting and then Wifi Off. The icon will never turn on red or blue. If I go into comm manager I can click on the Wifi and it will switch from Off to On but then it never pops up finding networks or even showing the icon on the main page as on. I have turned the power setting to Best Performance and unchecked the auto turn off after x mins. What could be causing it to not come on? Any help is greatly appreciated. This is my first post so if any other information is needed just let me know.
Hi Guys,
I'm using the latest 3VO build and I just received a Bluetooth dongle for my laptop that I configured to connect with my Dash. I've established a successful connection between my Dash and laptop, so I can use ActiveSync and send/receive files using BT.
But the two problems I'm still having are these:
1) If I try to turn off BT from Comm Manager, my Dash just stalls (the little circular thingy in the middle of the screen just keeps turning and turning to no effect...)
2) In Bluetooth Explorer: I see that it always stays in "Searching..." mode. What's up with that?
Any help is always appreciated!
Btw, I love this ROM and love my Dash.

If you go through the 3vo thread you will notice that some users have been experiencing issues with BT, post on the thread or PM ookba and see if he has found a fix for this
I just installed the 3VO ROM on my S620 and noticed the same problem with the comm manager when trying to turn off BT, but I also found that the ccomm sliding panel on the home screen works perfectly. Just two clicks up from the clock panel then click right until you see the Bluetooth icon and press the action button to toggle on/off.
