Hi all,
having upgraded to the official O2 WM6 Rom, I have since been getting trouble with Activesync. The syncronisation is very slow and sometimes will not syncronise at all. I sometimes have to disconnect and reconnect to get the blue bar to move and complete syncronisation.
I am running XP sp2 on both home and work PCs and it is the same on both computers.
Anyone else noticed any problems synchronising with the WM6 Rom and Activesync 4.5?
I have searched the forum and also tried Microsoft knowledgebase but to no avail.

Same problem ive had here, but finaly it worked! No issues since.
I Have had the problem at 1st sync after the update. Then tried to sync 1st the contacts, then added calendar, files and so on. It appeared that my big calendar (400 appointments in total or so) made that activesync hung. I changed the setting from sync all appointments to just the next 2 weeks, and then activesync synced properly. After i added some more weeks, and at last i synced all apointments.
No problems since, also at first sync at work (2nd pc with activesync) this problem did not occur at all and i could sync all appointments (and contacts, files, and so on) at once.
Hope this helps for you 2!!!
Twiggerdingo, thanks, I may try that, but all appointments and contacts are now synchronised, it still takes ages though and sometimes stops, even when there is only one item to synchronise.

I have been fiddling with my Blue Angel, as one does. Anyway - I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
Firstly, my device (T-Mobile UK 1.42 ROM) stopped syncing the Calendar from Outlook 2003, which itself uses an exchange 'mailbox' for storage.
This is not ideal, as you may imagine, so I tried to re-install Outlook, and Activesync 3.8. To make sure, I also hard-reset the BA.
Again I was asked to 'place the device in the cradle' and ActiveSync shuffled around, turned green and minimised - WITHOUT asking me if it was a standard/guest partnership etc etc.
Basically, both PC and PPC AS connections showed connected, but nothing was syncing.
I have temporarily resolved this by installing AS 4.0, which again asked me how I wanted to sync, but ideally I would like to use AS 3.8 (since I'm using WM2003SE) and yet each time I install 3.8 or 3.7.1 it connects but refuses to sync.
***Correction - On closer inspection, whilst it Syncs everything else, Calendar is still not synced with AS4, and nor does it give the option.
Is this something seen before? Likely to be an Outlook, ActiveSync or PPC issue?
Regards,
Darren

i recently got a vista laptop and so far has numerous times encoutered this error wherein i had to recreate my sync partnership only to delete again the partnership and recreate it.

help or advise anyone?
What sync...6.1or 4.5? I find that 4.5 is more stable and have had a few problems with 6.1
im using the windows mobile 6.1 version, so far it keeps on giving me problems since day 1.
it wojuld sync for awhile, then have a problem, had to ask to delete partnership and re sync, then work again for awhile, then the problem again. hate it!
Hi.
If your device and WMDC dont connect, just kill wmdc.exe process and start WMDC again. Works for me.
actually they do connect, the problem is it keeps on giving me an error that i had sync again since an "error" as occurred, and says if it still doesnt work, i had to delete the partnership and sync again.
it keeps on going over and over.

Give more info... Like what office are you using 2003 or 2007 as 6.1 works with 2007 and 4.5 works best with 2003. If you have no office and just use windows mail or outlook express, then you would not be able to sync your e-mail or calendar. When it comes to sync, just try syncing your Mobile Favorites....or don't sync and be a guest....make sure that you in "connection settings that "allow USB connections" is checked. If you have Bluetooth adapter, try pairing it and syncing with that. Uninstall 6.1 and Install 4.5....Check for updates. I know that a while back there was a couple for Mobile sync center. You can go to the control panel and open up sync center and that would tell you whats going on.... also check your event viewer. Critical errors/ RapiMgr. should give you an event number... probably 6....go to online help and that will give you info........also will show you the errors in detail. With Vista make sure that the time on your PPC is the same as your computers time.
Also do a disk cleanup on your PC and install a reg cleaner on your PPC, you probably have a ton of errors...like memmaid
Its a new laptop ... spanking brandnew on windows vista and microsoft office 2007. jsut 5 day old, and installed vista fresh; downloaded the microsoft device center and for a time it sync ok; then the problem started and just wont stay fixed.
now, a temporary fixed is i installed pocket mirror instead of using the built in conduits, and so far so good i am able to make successful syncs.
I guess it is whatever works.... I have Vista Ultimate x4 and was in the Beta testing program. If you ever want to find out why it did not work, go into your control panel and open up "problems Reports solutions" and view your problem history...might even give you a solution

Hi,
I have MDA Compact III and ActiveSync with Office 2007 doesn't work with it although the same installation of ActiveSync on the same computer worked with Palm Treo 750 couple of weeks ago.
I can browse the device so the connection is definitely working. The problem is when syncing starts it just hangs on "Looking for changes".
I have taken the following steps but no luck so far:
- Deleted the device partnership on both ActiveSync and on the phone many times.
- Tried 3 different ROMs (1 factory Windows Mobile 5 and 2 Windows Mobile 6.1)
- Disabled Windows Firewall completely
- Uninstalled NOD32 Antivirus software
- Tried syncing Contacts only and Calendar only items
- Tried 3rd party PocketMirror syncing software
Has anyone else experience this problem?
Thanks!
Want to add I am using ActiveSync 4.5 and connecting directly to computer using USB without any hub.
I've had a similar problem, I can connect via activesync and explore, I can even sync IE favorites but anything outlook related falls flat on it's face
I keep getting the 85010014 error code which all threads suggest can only be cured by an outlook re-install, but I've done that three times including removing all security software, activesync, and outlook. I then re-installed outlook imported my backed up contacts, re-installed activesync and I'm still getting the same problem with the same error. So I've given up!!
Just a word of warning though, be careful if you start playing around cos if you delete the sync profile on activesync and don't do the same on the phone activesync can erase all your contacts and appointments when you next try and connect, even though it won't sync anything. It did this to my kaiser twice before I figured out what was causing it.
As a work around I've found you can E-mail all contacts and appointments from outlook as attachments and then save them to the phone, I've now got an email with all my contacts and appointments saved on my phone and have backed up using PIM Backup
Not much help I'm afraid but at least your not on your own.
I tried syncronising Artemis using a borrowed a laptop and it worked. So I reinstalled XP, Office and ActiveSync and now the phone syncs without a problem.
I have had a problem with every WM 6.1 ROM I have tried. After flashing, I set up a partnership with my Vista laptop, through WMDC, with no problems. However, when I then set up a second partnership with my Vista desktop pc, syncing with my laptop then fails every time. When I go back to my desktop, that fails as well, both with a message that "there is a problem with the PC".
I thought at first that this was an Outlook problem, and I had started a thread for that. Since then, I have flashed another 6.1 ROM, syncing only with my laptop. I had no problems, day after day. However, as soon as I added a second partnership with my desktop, I experienced the same sync problems.
When I revert to a WM 6 ROM, I have no problems with syncing to both computers.
Is there anyone out there who syncs a WM 6.1 ROM with two Vista computers?
6.1 has this problem. I've tried DOZENS of ROMs with the same results.
The only workaround I've found is to disable the calendar sync, sync, then enable calendar, and sync

Thanks for confirming the problem, Radimus. I wondered whether it was just me!
I don't know if the problem lies with WM 6.1 or Vista's WMDC (which only claims compatibility with WM 6.0).
I will try your workaround.
it is 6.1
I've tested with every combination of WMDC and 4.5, on vista and XP
Hopefully WM7 will fix this issue
Funambol
You could try Funambol or Schduleworld to sync that information over the air... and then sync Outlook (or even Thunderbid) with the Funambol service. you can sync as many computers and devices as you want. I haven't used activesync in a very long time thanks to this solution.
Plus it's free.
Good luck...

I've got a Vista Ultimate pc with Outlook 2007 and an XP pc with Outlook 2003.
I never can sync both calendars with my WM6 rom. So its not WM6.1 only thats the problem.
I think its caused by WMDC personally..
I analysed the Problem (WM6.1, 2 PC's Vista, Office 2007):
If you sync new empty Outlook-Po-Poxes then you'll have ounly Problems with Serialdatas. Only then, if you edit one of the dates on the second PC (addet on first PC, then sync on second PC). Sometimes also by fullday-more-day-dates.
What you can do: Make empty the second Po-Box. Then sync with First PC, then sync with second PC. After then, edit the serialdatas only on PC one. If you have Sync-Errors by more-day-dates, add or edit these only on PC one.
The point is, that you can edit these dates only on the PC where you have add them. If you edit them every time on the same PC, you'll never have problems. Insted Edit them, you can they also delete and add new. That's waht I do this moment.
I Hope, that Microsoft will make an update.....
Hi Folks,
I've flashed my Orbit with a couple of new ROMs recently (my first time doing it, seems to have gone smoothly).
I've just noticed that Active Sync doesn't seem to be taking my calendar items from my PC to my device. Everything else goes across OK, and AS says that it's synced the calendar, but nothing appears.
Any ideas??
Matt
I think I've figured this out now. It looks like WM6.1 isn't compatible with my work laptop, which runs XP & Office 2000.
Don't think Office 2000 is supported?
The combination WM 6.1 and ActiveSync 4.5 sucks... especially if you use two PC's. There's a topic about that. Microsoft says they support WM6 but no word about WM6.1, so I think we can wait forever for a solution.
My solution is to go back to WM6
