Activsync 4.2 doesn't sync anymore

Hello all,
You've got a nice forum here, that I stumbled upon yesterday... and already I've got a little problem , where I hope you can help me with. (I've searched the forum already in the Artemis section, but didn't find anything appropriate to help me, so if I missed a solution for my little problem, I'm sorry for posting it again)
Here I go:
Since today my activsync won't syncronize with my HTC P3300 anymore.
There is a connection, but no syncronisation (I mean I can explore the folders on my phone, but it never stops syncronizing). The Optionsmenu in Activsync is also blanked out, so I can't change any settings (anymore).
The problem occured when I changed some settings that I would like to sync also. (My contacts and emails where not set to be synced, so I activated them earlier today) after that the activsync windows on my desktop only shows that he is syncronizing, but never stops -> As I tried to figure out a solution, I removed my connections that were stored on my phone (I've got 2 'syncaccounts': work and home), and tried to create another 'syncaccount',...alas. Before that I tried to softreset my phone,... also had no effect.
My activsync status (on the phone) says that the server can not be reached, and that there might be a network problem (but why can I explore my folders on the phone then?). So I tried to fix (with the standard repair-option) my lan setting for the phone on my desktop, but that didn't do the trick either...
I really don't know what happenend, and I hope that the forum's wisdom can help me out here.
Thanks in advance,
Leniad

Never mind,
resolved it myself. Hardreset the PPC and installed activesync 4.5
Now it works again.
Still wonder what caused the problem?

Problems with ActiveSync 4.5 following upgrade to WM6

I've noticed that since upgrading to WM6, ActiveSync 4.5 has been playing up. Since the upgrade, I no longer have the small 'disconnect' icon in the bottom right of the Today screen.
Then, the computer and phone just stopped talking to each other. I tried soft-resets of the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling ActiveSync, tried repairing AS. I've since deleted the mobile devices from AS but now cannot re-add them because there is no connection. However, I am still able to charge my phone via the USB cable but there is no synchronisation going on
In fact, all my contacts and calendar appointments are gone from my phone. Luckily they are still on my PC (and I took a backup just in case).
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I had the same problem on my 8525. Not sure if it'll fix your, but it fixed mine. Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC, then I unchecked "enable advanced network functionality"

thanks GReddySetGO - something must have worked 'cos i can connect to my phone again!

Thanks you saved my life too !!!

wonderful eolenet! i'm glad this has helped others too
and now the little 'disconnect' icon in the bottom right of the Today screen appears too now!
big thanks again GReddySetGO

cant sync

hi ppl,
after the upgrade from 2003 to WM5, everything is ok but BA wont sync any more. It used to work fine with 2003, I bring it to my friend where we patched it, we didnt sync it there but his pc obviusly saw BA during the patching process.... When I brought it home my PC couldnt sync with BA any more.
When I put the BA in the cradly PC found it and let me explore the BA thru the active sync just like before but after that it report that he can not sync and that I recconect the device, after the reconnecting - same story. Exploring works ok all the time but syncing dont.
Im suspicious about the fact that PC didnt asked me about the new device after the wm5 patch and didnt asked me about the type of the partnership (you know guest and normal)...
Used to try without the firewall, didnt helped, and didnt know how to manage to connect it and sync it via the BT...
Any ideas regarding the syncing via the USB or if someone can me please explain BT sync process...
Can I sync it with the WIFI ad hoc wifi network ? how please ? That could help too maybe.
PC OS is XP SP2
Best regards !

try this...
make sure you have updated your activesync to the recent version. mine is 4.5
1. remove your BA from the cradle.
2. delete your mobile device profile in activesync.
(File-> Delete Mobile Device)
3. place your BA in the cradle
4. re-setup your mobile device.

ty active sync on the PC is 4.5...
tryed to reinstall it, deleted the folder, run registry cleaner, install it again and nothing changed...
Im suspicious that the problem is in BA, when I run active sync there it reports on some kind of info screen "to sync with the desktop computer, install Activesync on your computer and then connect this device. If your company support syncing directly with its exchange server blah blah"... Never saw this screen in the active sync on BA before...
It looked like PCs active sync before as far as I remember....
used to try to connect it with the BT, after the pairing with the PC BA shows the screen with the services that I want to use for that BT connection but the list is empty... Anyway they are paired in that moment (passkey passed)... When I click on the connect with the BT in the active sync on the BA it report that theres no BT paired devices in that moment and that I can pair if I want, I chooce PC on the next screen again but nothing happens...

sorry to hear that.
i guess if you're using BT to sync i cant help you with that.
i know there's a topic here somewhere about the BT Stack incompatibilities.
let's hope someone who had your error find his way into reading this.
------------------------
tragedy: life's a windows[tm] bliss... till one bug shows up and eats up your lifespan with stress in bugbusting.

looks like that PC cant read settings of the BA coz when syncing begins, PC report that he is retrieving settings but moment after that he report sync can not be completed succesfully....
Like theres some firewall in the BA which prevents pc from the reading of the settings.

Problem is solved, BA is upgraded to WM6.

always glad to hear someone has solved a problem.
even if my posts didnt helped a bit. ahaha...

active sync

Hi All,
how can I launch active sync on the artemis?
I've got active sync 4.5 installed on my xp pc at work, has been syncing without a problem, yesterday when I plugged my usb cable into the phone, it did'nt sync and is not seen as a usb device.
Looking on the phone active sync is usually a running as a background task, but it currently is'nt.
Can I launch it manually?
Running meschle artemis touch 3.01 full, if that helps.
cheers
andy

Go to start/programs and than start activesync

still had problems - launched active sync manually, click sync, a progress bar flashed up and disappeared - phone still not seen from the PC.
did some more searching and got it working again by going to connections, USB/PC connection and unticked advanced usb is disabled - active sync came straight back up
not sure what happed ans aI certainly don't remember ticking the box in the first place - don't care either as all seems to be back working again.
cheers

ActiveSync issues

Ok so my phone will only randomly sync using ActiveSync 4.5.
Most of the time it says its an unknow device. I also notice when I install the drivers, it registers as a Generic Windows Mobile Device.
Any fix for this?

Not a fix, but a work around. The general panacea for ActiveStink problems is to go to Settings> Connections> USB to PC> and uncheck Use Advanced Network.
What that does, as far as I am able to tell, is to switch to the old way of connecting the PPC to the PC.

Having a different issue with Activesync on my 8525 (Hermes100) since upgrade to WM6.. error reports "change on server" forcing a complete re-sync with Outlook; all "custom" settings, pictures, ID ringtones, etc. from the phone are lost... Get's frustrating as it takes time to re-config... it will go 1 or 2 weeks fine, and then without warning this message comes up, have not made any changes on the PC or config that would trigger this as far as I know... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
