Does ActiveSync 4.x crash your XP?

I have AS4.1 installed and running on XP and XP crashes with a ialmrnt, audio, or some sys dll file error. This is while having AS connected through USB. What really pisses me off is when the BA isn't connected to the computer, everything is okay. I need to pinpoint what is really cause the problem. Does AS4.x crash you WinXP install?

No. Maybe it's something with your version of Office?

Well I found out it wasn't AS. BSOD'ed on me without AS activated. Either f'ing hate windows or Intel, one of the two. This is a new install, no Office suite installed, barely any apps installed. Only necessary applications for web design, ftp, and SSH. Maybe time to swich to Mac.
Thanks to the only person that replied. I guess people are right about members on this site only replying when they have something they need. You guys are great!

Works normally here.

No, it is very reliable, compatibility with my WindowsXP. Maybe your system is illegal copy.

Nahh.. works on a pirated copy too

ya i downloaded an illegal copy of activesync 4.1 from a warez server from china.

We were referring to a pirated copy of Windows XP

I don't think you understood my sarcasm. Oh China servers have what he was refering to also. Come on now, do you honestly beleive I would think it was a good or bad copy of the OS that was crashing it? Anyway, this thread was solved long ago. A bit late for anyone to start posting now.

Running Windows Mobile In Nokia N770

Hi to everytody,
This is the firs time I write in this forum, but there is a long time ago that i read all your interesting and wise posts
I have recently changed my pda for a nokia n770, and I would like to know if is possible to make this device work under windows mobile, 'cos linux does not like me too much.
Is there any available rom for this device?
If so, how can I install it?
Many thanks in advance, and my congratulations for you all.
Regards.
CArlos

Absolutlely impossible
No drivers, no software - nothing.

Really?
But if I have seen in You Tube a video where this machine is running under windows xp....
And is there no way to load in any other rom from another pda?
many thanks and I apologize if I have said any nonsense... (my aknowledgements are very limited in this matter)
regards.

dunno about xp - but anyway it is much more possible than n770 running Windows Mobile

it was prob a nokia running remote desktop software

Don't believe everything you see on uTube.
As Redugar suggested it could have been remote terminal software, or a skin that made the device resemble XP or a fake video all together.
According to PC Magazine this device has an OMAP processor (official Nokia site does not provide that detail) so in theory it is similar to our phones.
But if you have truly read this site before you would know that this was asked and discussed many times: Window Mobile can not be installed on a device that was not designed for it.
There must be at least one original version of WM specifically made by the manufacturer for that device.
Only from that it might be possible to make upgrades but not create a version from scratch.

ok,
I read some time ago something regarding the prebootloader system..., that this kind of devices that runs under linux does not have (or it's different)... is this certain?
Anyway, I thought that somebody in this forum might be developed a tool to load this room, but in any case, I repeat that I'm just learning about this devices... in fact is my first one mobile pc running linux...
Many thanks.

i dont belive that any nokia phone run linux at all their use their own os called symbian

Believe it That's their new safety line off Symbian without stepping into WM.
http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5409534614.html
While they may have the most say in Symbian, but I won't say it is 'their own OS'
Anyway, it is a pity that all these phone companies with Linux OS doesn't seems to be doing much to join forces in any other way. Motorola has some good histroy with their Linux OS.. and yet this Nokia is doing things all their own way.. which well, I'm not sure how that will divide the public developers. Anyway, I had a look at this N770.. it is not that impressive.

"but I won't say it is 'their own OS' "
yeah it started up as a group of mobil companys but dident
everybody else leave the group ?

Hmmm.. now you mentioned.. it seems quite true.. now, as far I can think of, for non Nokia phones, only SonyE's P9xx series is using it, huh?

İt says;
Software:
Operating system -- Internet Tablet 2005 software edition
İt s not talkin about linux, symbian possible by the way Rom upgrade impossible on this device because it cant be connect on active syn, and I dont think so that it has bootloader menu to flash WM6..

Nokia n770 (and n800) runs Maemo. For more info check out: http://maemo.org/.
The nokia n770/800 isnt a pda but an internet tablet.

ssh to hermes

hi is it possible ot ssh to the hermes, i do it with my ipot and its so much easier than finding the cable!
i have winscp what else do i need?
whats the user/pass to ssh also
thanks

Windows mobile doesn't have a ssh server built in. So, I'm guessing that if you could install one then you could ssh to it. I have never tried it. ssh seems to be more of a unix/linux thing, wich I am guessing the ipod os would be since it is an apple product.
Good luck. I hope this might give you something to search for.
Let us know how it goes.

bummer oh well thanks for the heads up

I don't use it either, but from a quick Google-Search, it seems there are quite a few alternatives that can be used. For instance, PuTTY has released an open source of PocketPuTTY. I have used PuTTY on a desktop, and if their PPC offering is as good, this must be a nice package. You can read more about it HERE.
Also, in February last year, ZaTelnet released a free SSH tunneling and port-forwarding program for Windows Mobile devices that supports the .NET Compact Framework 2.0. "ZaTunnel" boasts facilities for secure remote administration of Unix and other servers via Telnet, FTP, or VNC using mobile devices, according to the company. See more HERE
So it certainly looks like it CAN be done. This is what turned up on the first page of hits returned by Google. I'm quite sure there are MANY other applications available for SSH by now ... one just needs to do a quick search (and a lengthy read) to learn what options exist, and which one suits them the best.
Hope this helps,
-pvs

He is asking for a way to ssh to the Hermes,
the solutions you mention are to ssh from the phone...
He needs a ssh server to be run on the phone, the only thing i have found is the OpenSSH for Windows CE
Unfortunately for me it doesn't work... :-(

Once you have a usable sshd server running in your Hermes, what then? AFAIK there is no CLI (i.e. "DOS prompt") available in Windows Mobile. Maybe there's a port of Cygwin to WM.

[Q] Any Solution for Outlook 2010 not syncing with WM6.5?

There is a known Microsoft problem (they acknowledge it, but don't pretend to be working on it) that WinMo 6.5 will not sync with Outlook 2010 64 bit through WMDC.
Does anyone know of a solution or workaround?
Thanks

Use x86 version instead. There is no longer support for WM devices or services.

Thanks a lot for the response.
You helped me on another thread also!
I'm under the impression I would have to change the entire Office Suite to x86 - is that so? I'm nervous to do anything directly to Office because I bought my laptop with it preinstalled and don't know if I can reinstall it if I have a problem.
I was wondering if there is either another program I could sync with. Also perhaps there is something online I could sync with and then sync my outlook to that.
Thanks

I'd check to see if it is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder first. Occasionally it is also installed there as well for compatibility. If not, then You might want to look into other syncing solutions.

[Q] Is there a working version of HTC Sync Manager on Mac for the One X ?

Hi there !
Pretty much all my problem lies in the title : is there a version of HTC Sync Manager that works on Mac computers for the One X ?
Everywhere the documentation seems to say yes ("[...] for PC and Mac", "download the .dmg file", etc.), but on the official site i can't find a link to the reffered .dmg file, neither it is on my phone, and when I ask the support where I can find the file mentionned, they answer me : "To use HTC Sync on Mac, please install Dualboot and Windows, then install HTC Sync Manager"
I managed to find a Mac version of the software somewhere on xda-developers for others version of HTC, but my phone still isn't recognized by the application.
So... anyone here managed to get that one working ? I know there exists other free (or not) applications that can do the same, but I kinda liked it on first sight on my PC. I tried SyncMate but even though my contacts were originally freshly updated it wanted to delete about 48 of my contacts and modify 20 others
Thanks in advance for your time !
Tibler

yeah , I've got exact same problem , please someone help us quickly ...

I was going to look for HTC Sync for the MAC but will hold off for now, you could install Parallels Desktop then Windows 7 which allows you to run Windows 7 within the MAC OS no need for a Dual boot then.

I don't think I would be able to access my OSX Address Book that way either.
I used to do it quite simply with my 'old' Sony Ericsson W995 and the iSync application. Finding out it couldn't work that way with my One X still makes me sad

I'm having the exact same problem! I was an iPhone user since 2007 and always used iTunes to sync data. This is my first Android and I totally love it but its sad I can't get it to sync with my Mac. When I connected my One X to my Windows PC and set it to HTC Sync mode on the phone, the HTC Sync program begins to install but when I do it on my Mac, it says the device isn't recognised.

i have the same problem
i have the same problem but there is and app called the missing sync,, which is amazing u can transfer itunes, iphoto, contacts and call logs and much more
give it a try

What's good with HTC Sync is that it's free too. I don't think I want to pay 40$ to try an application

http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
The site says the software is coming soon. So lets hope that it actually is coming soon and will allow the playback of protected content like it states it will!!
http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-one-x/ -- at the bottom -- Note: Download and install HTC Sync Manager, when available, from our website. Or in the meantime, download and use the latest version of HTC Sync to sync your media and data.

And I always thought HTC Sync and HTC Sync Manager were the same thing...
Thank you for that eye opening revelation. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long !

I am on the same boat too, used iphone for 4 years now decided to change to HTC. But looks like HTC is not quite Apple friendly. I have a macbook so no way i wana bootcamp window and sync from window.
HTC really need to get this Sync Manager ASAP for mac users otherwise they will lose some clients as new iphone coming soon.

Get off it already. Hanging on to your Macs with a death grip, are we?!
At least HTC just released the good stuff for Windows 8... HTC Sync v3.2.10 for Windows – All Models

Available here : http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
But they deleted all mention of a mac compatibility in the requirements/overview...

Uhm... yes. I left the world of clunky Windows operating systems running on craptastic generic machines, sloppily thrown together by shoddy manufacturers, many years ago and I have no plans of returning. Furthermore, the HTC One X will be my last HTC device until they learn how to properly support their products. Funny thing is, I said this back when I bought the 8925, only to find it had no display drivers, rendering its fancy GPU practically pointless.
These guys need to get a clue. We may not be the majority, when comparing OS platforms, but Mac users number well over 100 million and Apple is the largest manufacturer of personal computers on the planet. Samsung has Kies running on Mac, with a link neatly placed right beside the Windows version. I'll be ditching my One X in favor of a Galaxy S3. Good riddance, HTC.

It is available to download now
Check http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/download/
I have problem connecting though on JellyBean Maximus 4.1 ROM.
Update: It seems to take quite some time on first time device connection.
