hi, i had the Cing_v2.5_bbc rom on my Hermes, and loved it. I noticed on that rom that Activesync always stayed connected, and i didn't have to set up a schedule for it to check my email (activesync was always connected). i recently switched to Schap's newest (4.31) rom and i was able to get a constant data connection, but my activesync will not stay connected all the time. I was wondering if there was some sort of setting or registry hack that will force activesync to stay connected at all times (instead of using the schedule in activesync and synching every x minutes). any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
even a 3rd party app to make A$ stay connected would be helpful...

Hello,
I can easyly syncronize with USB or Bluetooth.
I've set a WiFi connection to my ADSL router, it works fine, I can scan the LAN (with ScanIP) and see my PC, but no way to sync...
Though Active Sync 3.8 is installed.
Some of you succeeded, what's the magic ? ? ?
Thanks for sharing,
Jean-Jacques

Cool link, added to my Favorites, thnks for shareing that with us
Superb
Excellent, if only everything was explained like this, keep it up!!!!
It was already here...
I had actually found it on this forum a few months ago...
But since I had put it into my favourites I figured it would have taken me about the same time to give it you than to tell you "go and and look for it"!
Glad it helped.

I struggled with this for awhile and could not get it working. The issue was I had was in the PC WINS setting I had left the LMHOSTS Lookup enabled. As soon as I unchecked that and had the Netbios tab checked it synced up. Thanks for the link. Now I can wifi sync.
another gotcha
I read every thread I could find on several forums regarding activesync via wifi and yet I could not get it to work. Then I finally read on a thread that the PPC network card "My network card connects to:"should be set to connect to WORK not The INTERNET. I changed that one setting and bingo, activesync instantly connected via wifi (I already had a partnership created while connected via USB). Of course to have the PPC connect to the Internet via wifi, you have to set it back but that is easy enough to accomplish.

On my SX66, I don't have to change back to "the Internet" to surf; I just leave it set to "Work".
New problem...activesync connects but
Well, I had everything working, now I have a new issue. I can successfully sync via usb and BT connects. When turn off BT and then tell activesync running on the BA to sync, activesync on both the PC and the BA indicate that they are connected (as BT is off and the BA is out of the cradle, it is obvious that they are connected via WiFi at this point). Then the "looking for changes" meter starts advancing and when it gets about 1/3 of the way finished, it just stops. Both the PC and the BA still show connected and activesync still indicates that it is trying. After several minutes of the no more progress, the PC side activesync indicates that there was a synchronization error.
Any ideas. I have uninstalled activesync 3.8 and reinstalled. I have run the outlook repair utility just in case there was something weird with my outlook pst file (it was clean).
Thanks
David
I have this problem too - I find if i soft reset the unit (and sometimes my computer too) then it works fine. anyone got any ideas?
Tried the soft reset ....
I tried the soft reset on the PPC as well as rebooting the PC and still activesync stops progressing during the sync process about 1/3 of the way thru and eventually reports the synchronization error. I have noted that during BT or usb syncing, the process pauses at the same place for just a split second and then zooms thru the remaining 2/3s of the process. It is like activesync is waiting for somekind of a handshake or acknowledgement from the PPC. I hope someone can shed some light on this.

Have you tried turning off synchronise 'Files' in the activesync options? sometimes funny files can cause this problem?
Only syncing...
The only things I am trying to sync are my contacts, tasks and calendar. I even tried unchecking even those items so that I was essentially NOT syncing anything but activesync via WiFi still stalls at about 1/3 complete. As I did have WiFi/ActiveSync working for a day or so with NO issues and nothing has changed (or I guess I should say, I changed nothing), this is a real mystery.

So, I am having this issue that when ActiveSync (on the Pocket PC) goes to sync with exchange, it'll kick the dial-up connection that my PC has (via bluetooth) to the internet so that it may sync. Its really bizzare and driving me nuts. Can anyone lend a hand?
My setup:
Audiovox vx6600 (EVDO for Verizon)
Firmware 2.03
ActiveSync 3.8 -- using an Exchange 2003 server syncing "Items as they arrive" (note that changing this to scheduled does not fix the issue).
What happens as as soon as ANY application on the Pocket PC tries to sign itself onto the web, it decides to kick the DUN call that the computer made. This means the computer gets disconnected, very irritating.
The problem seems to lie in the fact that DUN connections are not seen as real phone calls, so they are kicked in preference of a data connection. This happened this 1.35 firmware and is still happening with the 2.03 upgrade. When I delete the connection on the PPC completely, it seems to connect fine and will never get kicked. This, however, is an annoying, half-ass work around.
Does anyone know a way, in short of making an app to do it (which I'm tempted to do if I can't solve this), to make the DUN connection take preference over the data connection, so that the laptop doesn't get kicked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andre

...I have just upgraded to T-Mobile 1.42 and decided to subscribe to T-Mobile UK's Instant Email using Blackberry Connect. This of course uses GPRS and works perfectly wherever I go.
At work, however, I often leave my phone cradled. When I 'sync-up' to the PC, I lose my GPRS connection, and forcing a connect drops the ActiveSync connection. As such, Instant E-Mail stops working.
Some may argue that if I am synced up, I instantly get all my e-mails through the cable anyways, but in fact I also get personal e-mails via Instant Email.
1) Is the disconnecting normal behaviour?
2) Is there any way of keeping a GPRS connection whilst ActiveSyncing?
3) If not, is there any other way of using BB Connect in this state?
Regards,
Darren
disconnecting is normal behaviour - I have not found a way to avoid it
Hi!!!
It´s normal, you only have one chance, sync or GPRS.........if you want to conect by GPRS while your PDA is in the cradle you sholud disable USB conection on active sync
PD:excuse me for me english
I have tried a few roms with the wm6 modem link and even installed the wireless modem cab on the official tytn rom but its not being detected on the computer. anyone knows how to make this work? my internet sharing option keeps disconnecting after a few minutes hence this request
The problem with internet sharing is that activesync always starts, causing a drop of the connection.... I found this workarounds working the most time but not always :
When you don´t use push define a fake exchange server, sync all items (it will give an error of cause) then disable all syncing items.
This should prevent async from start!
If you need push like me then try the following:
Disable in active sync setting on both units (PC and PPC) USB connection. Set your exchange sync schedule to manual.
Softreset your device. Go straight to internetsharing. BEFORE!!! you connect to USB start your sharing THEN connect to USB. This works most of the time.
I found the bluetooth PAN connection to be more stable, but it has a significant performance hit when you have HSDPA. For only UMTS,bluetooth has enough bandwith.
Sorry if my english isn´t that good.
Bye
thanks for the advice, i noticed bluetooth did not perform not so well with hsdpa despite stability.
let me try your remedies and will give you feedback and even buy you a beer
Some more advices
Some more advices:
When you use internetsharing disable poweroff and screen blanking. I don`t know how screen blanking interferes with the sharing but i noticed, when the screen gets dark the connevtion got lost. And I use a ttle tool KillAsync on my Hermes. It closes Async for more memory. A last hint: in system-connections-usb to pc enable or disable -depending what is activated- advanced network funktions.
So, now i have no more hints. I tried Usb Modem link too, but got it never working , unfortunately. And i think, a seriell over USB connection like the modem link is to slow for hsdpa.
Looking forward the beer ;-)

Hi, I have the same ROM and for me it is not a problem to update the Weather program. Maybe it is comes in handy to explain your method to of connecting (to PC, WiFi)
For me; I update it all through WiFi with success (Weather, email, QuickGPS). I haven't tried it yet with active sync.

I'm sure he could've guessed that answer. But I doubt thats what he wants, like me he might have a very high fee to connect over GRPS and 3G is not an option as its not a even feature of the P3300.
I also have problems syncing and connecting to the internet via activesync sometimes, the best course of action for me was to disconnect the phone form the PC, kill activesync on the phone and reconnect to the PC, if that doesnt work try a soft reset on the phone and try again.
7 minute solution when active sync not works

Mostly the problem occurs when connecting to 2 different PC's.
What works for me ( I usually sync with 2 pc's; Work & @Home) when connecting with active sync not succesfull;
- I back up all my information with PIMbackup [1-2 minutes]
- Remove a partnership (or both) on my Artemis (Backup, because removing a partnership deletes appointments, contacts, call logs, tasks, etc.) [< 1 minute]
- Reconnect through active sync and setup a new partnership, in general is the problem-not-be-able-to-sync solved [3-4 minutes]
I hope this will work for you
