I have flashed into the E1 English ROM (the one without the opera browser) and encountered some issues, I might have had them in previous ROMs as well, and I am wondering whether there is a solution for them:
1) Cannot set the IE homepage, it will always refer back to SamsungMobile
2) Cannot sync via Blue-tooth, even though a partnership is set with my PC, and ActiveSync is enabled I keep getting a message: "Cannot connect using Bluetooth to a PC that supports ACtivesync. You may be out of range. Would you like to create a bluetooth partnership with a different PC?"
Clicking Yes does not help here and the Bluetooth wont sync​
Did anyone find a resolution for this matters?
i have the original E1 rom, i dont think the activesync prob is related to the rom as mine has no prob activesyncing using BT since the A1 rom.
btw make sure u are using the latest activesync on the pc.
use your phone to detect your pc, not the other way around, then try activesync. if u still cant, use your pc's BT to establish a serial connection to the phone, then start activesync on your phone.

I have a Siemens SX66 from Cingular running Mobile 2003 and a laptop running XP SP2, Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync 3.8 and I can't get them to sync. The PC's ActiveSync shows the "Looking for Changes" message and then it shows a quick "Syncronization Error" message and then it goes to "Not Connected". I have been diagnosing this for several weeks with no solution in sight. I have an old IPAQ that syncs just fine with this PC. I have taken the SX66 to two other PC's, both with fresh images and new installs of ActiveSync and get the same thing. I have hard reset the handheld and soft reset it several times. I have switched from the cradle to a direct cable so I could try the serial port. I have checked all of my pst files with scanpst to resolve any errors that existed. It seems a few other people have had an issue that was similar and it seems to have magically resolved itself but mine just keeps hanging around. :evil:
I'm just wondering, does it sync okay via wifi? Have you installed any applications that adds to the sync process? Have you tried USB sync from a fresh Hard reset? And last, have you tries older/newer ROM or radio ROM (read wiki for how-to)?
My unit was an SOB when I first got it. Trial and error fixed it and it didn't happen in less than a week.
Have you tried deleting the partnership & then creating a new one?
I have tried to hard reset it several times. I've tried to start the whole process before and after I reloaded saved data to see if my local data was corrupt. I've deleted the partnership. I've uninstalled ActiveSync and reinstalled. I've tried to sync via USB, serial, bluetooth, and infrared. I've also tried the outlook repair tools (inside outlook and the pst report tool outside of it) on the PC. I've even taken it to a totally different PC with a fresh local version of Outlook. Siemens tried to tell me that its because I'm using Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 3.8 doesn't work with that but that isn't true according to Microsoft's web site. I can't get ActiveSync to work so I can't install any software on it or upgrade/downgrade the ROM. I am running the latest and greatest ROM on the device.
Interestingly, if I set up the partnership as a guest partnership, I can explore the device just fine from my PC so I know that ActiveSync has a good link established.
To me, it looks like the whole ActiveSync chain gets connected and then it tries to read from Outlook on the PC and on the handheld. One or the other of those two things or the exchange of change information down the ActiveSync pipe is what breaks things but there are no diagnostics anywhere to tell me why or what to do about it.
Try to go into AS --> Options and untick all the option in the main box. That will will cause it not to sync with oulook. Maybe there is something in oulook that is keeping it from syncing.
Good suggestion but I've tried that (I just tried it again with a new partnership on a new PC to be sure). It doesn't give me the "Looking for Changes" message but it gives me the "Synchronization Error" message and then goes to "Not Connected". Keep the suggestions coming as something has to make this work.
You have just about tried to sync at the lowest basic level. It the above doesn't work, barrow another sync cable or take the unit to a shop and have them try to sync it with there cable and pc. You have figure out the problem
1. The USB cable/pins
2. The unit itself
3. Your PC or lappy (i doubt it though)
4. while you are there, ask them to test out activesync via wifi if they can
Delete AC from your PC- Reboot - Install AC on your PC, sync will most likely work again.
Had the same problem my self.
Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried that several times already. In fact, I have started from a fresh image on a different PC and get the same issue. Is there a way to do the same thing on the handheld without ActiveSync working? I'd like to remove its ActiveSync and freshen it but I don't know how I'd get a new copy installed since it won't sync.
Don't know how to just Install AC on your BA.
I Would try to Reflash the device with
1) The same Rom -> If it diddn't help
2) A Different Rom
I finally got it to work although I can't believe the solution. If you've gotten this far in the thread I hope that you have an SD card in the phone because that was the whole problem for me. I don't know how it works but if I have my SD card inserted when I connect the phone to the PC, it will error out every time. If I don't have the card in when I connect, it works just fine. Obviously, this appears to be a problem for Siemens to resolve but simply removing the card (as foolish as that sounds) may get you through this issue. Thanks for the assists and I hope that this solution helps someone.
Hi everyone!
I have already posted this thread on the Modaco forum but I'm still getting no answer. I'm posting it here. I know there are a few threads about ActiveSync problems but none of them solves my problem!
I'm using an Orange SPV M650 (French branded HTC P3300) for a few monthes now, and I've been successfully syncing it with ActiveSync over Bluetooth from the beginning. At this time, I had created a BT COM port with the Windows Bluetooth stack, configured ActiveSync v4.5 to authorize connections through that port ; then paired my PDAPhone to the computer and checked the "ActiveSync" option that was available in the services listing. I was then able to sync using the ActiveSync application on my PPC.
A few days ago I deleted the USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop from the "Device manager", it's been installed back successfully on the next reboot BUT now I can't synchronize. The "ActiveSync" service no longer appears in the services list of my computer from the device's BT configuration tool. I only have "Serial port" showing.
Reinstalled ActiveSync twice, didn't changed anything.
What should I do?
Thank you!
(here are a few screenshots, French language used)
Up! Nobody's an idea?
i can only suggest something i do when i have similar problems:
1. uninstall everything involved
2. manually clean up all involved registry keys
sometimes, the remainders of not completely uninstalled programs can cause problems if you install them again.
i never ran into your specific problem, but trying this will at least make you forget your synch problem for the 60mins you are busy.
...and sometimes, above procedure even helps!
I had to reinstall from scratch Windows XP for other reasons and the thing is still not working! I really don't understand, I'm wondering if I'm not doing something wrong... How should I do?
Hey..
Hey found this manual for you..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/activesync+via+bluetooth?t=anon
Thank you. It's exactly that way that I'm trying! The problem is at step 12, the only service available on my paired computer is a "Serial port", not ActiveSync. I double checked that ActiveSync was properly configured on the correct serial port and it is...
i had this problem with XP, i sorted it out, but cant remembe quite how i did it, i have a feeling it was to do with the COM ports that you use for blueooth. upgraded to Vista and no problems, my suggestion is to go to vista, its much better then XP and everything works.
I have hardware unsupported under Vista (pro-soundcard) and my computer is a little bit too old (512 MB of RAM are fine with XP, won't be with Vista). Anyway I'm okay with XP, I won't change my OS just for an ActiveSync problem.
Anyway I updated my Artemis with the B&B 3.7 WM6 ROM and now it works... Was a problem on the phone I guess.
Thank you for your help

What version of ActiveSync are you using?
well i tried with version 4.5,4.2 and even 3.8..but the problem still exists....any suggestions???
ActiveSync 3.8 can't work with WM5 devices
i tried with 4.2 and again 4.5..but nothing seems to b happend...wat to do now???
Ahmeed,
Use the Troubleshooter in the Help menu for Activesync 4.5; this will test your connections. Most likely scenario is you have a firewall or other security problem that is preventing the phone from connecting.

I second that.
but below fast support
1) disable your firewall and try to connect, if not o.k
2) on your PPC go to settings>Connections> USB to pc >disable the advanced network functionality.

Hi,
Did you solve your problem?
If not, did you delete any notifications from your device using either sktools or memmaid?
If yes, it may be the reason you cannot connect. Look at this thread and see if it helps:

hello there, this forum is great and it helped me a lot, but now i have again a problem:
I'm using an acer aspire laptop (without bluetooth) so i recently bought a Bluetooth usb dongle... and now i would love to connect my HD via bluetooth to my laptop using activesync, but I've some problems...
the situation on my laptop:
the bluetooth dongle installed successfully and is working (I can send and receive files via bluetooth)
the situation on my HD:
it detects my laptop and connects to it very well but when i try to connect via bluetooth in the activesync progg (on my HD) it gives me an error:
(I have a dutch device so i will try to translate the message)
"Could not find an existing bluetooth connection with a pc that supports activesync. would you like to create one?"
"Yes" -- "No"
if i click no it closes the message.
And when i click yes it redirects me to the bluetooth settings (then i go to the devices tab and there i find my laptop when i tap on it, it opens the settings and in the list i see activesync checked)
so whats the problem ... or what do i wrong
can some one please help me ... please i need it,
or better is there an alternative activesync... (already searched the web but no results)
A BIG THAANXZ TO ALL OF YOU
sorry for my bad English
ps: i use the original rom of htc and i use vista (so wmdc)
(whoa over the 90 views and no answer? )
oke now i am sure... it's the HTC's fault , cause i tried to connect my HTC Apache (with an older rom.. and an older version of activesync mobile) via bluetooth and it worked like a charm!
[first connected it with usb cable to set up a profile then disconnected it.
opened activsync (on mobile) Menu -> connect via bluetooth -> set a new partnership -> found the pc and connected ! ]
but with the touch hd it says that there are no pc's that support a bluetooth connection via activesync...
so does any one has a cab for activesync (an older version or a newer that works)
(or cloud some one tell me how to get the activesync (cab) on the appach and then install it on the htc)
thaanxz
why is there no response? is it so difficult?
Problem solved ThanxZ 4 nothing this time -.-
if any one has the same problem i can help
Yeah yeah.
MY Dash wont seem to connect properly to my PC Via the required activesync 4.5...
IDK if this is in the ROM, My computer or AS4.5
but when i plug in my phone it MIGHT connect, might not or come up with a malfunction error.
Last time it said Activesync has encountered an error and needs to close or something like that...
But if i reinstall active sync it will work just fine the first time or two
what OS are your running and which active sync? might have a issue between them if you got the wrong one.

Windows XP Home (2001)
SP2 with .net 3.5 installed
Active sync is the one for x86 XP & Vista
not sure i have had similar issues with win 7, but i also noticed there was a update for the driver that seems to have fixed it. maybe check via windows update and see (do it while phone is pluged in) if there is a update for the driver to connect it.
i'm not sure what the issue is but it seems that every rom i flash to aside from the factory rom as soon as i flash outside of it, activesync and wmdc fails to establish any form of a connection whatsoever and i have tried the wm 6.1 by kavana and the 3vo 6.5 rom and after i installing the other roms neither acticsync or wmdc won't connect but reflashing to the factory rom it works i dunno what the deal is, but i do know that after using the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS it refuses to conntect even if you don't flash after using this so i attribute the connection failure to the bypass fix
i finally figured out what was keeping my active sync from properly connecting and this might help you out,
active sync needs to have port 900 open to connect, if you open it in the win xp firewall add exceptions for port 900 via tcp and udp even if it's already listed do it, and if you have a secondary program such as mcafee or norton you will need to do the same in that program as well, once the ports have been opened you'll need to reboot, but it should work
