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?
Leniad.
I bought my Hermes a couple days ago, and of course the first thing I did was get rid of WM5 for WM6.
The system runs great and I can actually read English, unlike Kanji.
One exception to my high praise is Internet Sharing... the TyTn ROM I flashed the system with seemed to come with a broken sharing app... no big deal, I went on the internet and downloaded it, installed it, and proceeded to watch it not work. The app actually DOES launch now, but when you press the connect button, it quickly cycles on, then back off in the matter of about a second.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.... I need tethered internet as soon as possible!
Thanks in advance.
Just a quick bump, anyone think they know why my internet sharing won't stay on?
Oh also, my phone tells me that it detected an unknown USB device attached to it and asks for the driver.. even when it's not connected to anything.
Problems with internet sharing
I also have problems with internet sharing on my Hermes (MDA Vario II) with WM6 Black Satin. Most of the times once I have disconnected from the internet and try to connect later it doesnt connect saying it can not connect due to some unknown reason. Only after a software reset does it begin to work again. Never had this problem on WM5 and have tried closing Activesync completely before reattempting a connection to no avail.
Anybody with an understanding of the problem or solution ?
i've got a rather stupid problem.
first of all, i got the orig. O2 XDA Orbit WM6 rom on this toy
so no weird, tuned firmware or anything unknown..
i wanted to sync my artemis with my "old" computer (new is a mac.. doenst work verry well) runing XP home SP2. It worked for months perfectly, worked with WiMo5 and 6. It actually DID work!
Normaly i use the USB for syncing, then i got lazy a few weeks ago and changed it to BT. I had quite a fight to get i work but in the end it worked fine and wireless...
Then i did not sync it for about a month. And today i wanted to sync it again.
BT Dongle wasn't anywhere to find so i plugged in the USB. The Display "light up" so everything is normal... Active Sync starts to turn (the icon in the Systray, next to the clock). After a few minutes AS wrote that there is no connection. I re-plugged the USB. No change. I uninstalled AS and installed the latest version directly from MS's homepage. No change!
I tried it with BT. The BT on my computer recognized a artemis. wow! great! AS starts and my BT Connection-software tells me "connection cancled". Damn!
I changed the Computer. No running a Win Vista HomePremium 32bit, plugged the phone in, it recognieses some thing (4 i think it was...)
But i can't find the phone. No problem, so i thought. I downloaded from MS the Mobile Device Center. unplugged an plugg it in again - no change!
Somehow my phone is not recognized as phone for AS.
The Battery is charged now so, some things work and some thinks not.
I need the sync! Win XP oder Vista doesn't matter. But how the hell i get this thing to work again?!
I deleted now all "connections" in AS on the Computer an on the Artemis.
So actually it should tell me that i have to configure what to sync. but it doesn't!
Anybody an idea what might be wrong?
Do you charge ur Artemis in a car? its a common problem that having your phone on charge whilst starting the engine causes the USB control board to get damaged, so you can still charge, but the USB connection doesnt work for Syncing.
Needs a new USB board if this is the case, which is covered by warrenty, or can be repaired for around £20 (phone repair shops).
i often charge my phonein the car.
it never made any problems - until now!
i should contact my provider (o2) and make them repair my phone?!
yeh, as long as your phone is under a year old, O2 will repair for free (under warrenty)
first of all - dont be so pessimistic, make a backup/hard reset and check again.
It is a usual problem( at least, for me) if you use your pda to sync with several computers via diff ways.
Had a similar problem with a faulty connector on an Xda IIi which was 3 months old and had lots of trouble getting it repaired under warranty.
The problem is that they send it off to a repair depot who analyse the fault and then come back to you a couple of weeks later saying it's your fault and that they will not repair it under warranty i.e. you've got to pay.
A couple of letters and a call to Customer Retentions did the trick though
when it *first* happened to mine, i sent mine off to T-Mobile in a bag that they sent me, and 2 days later is was back again, fixed!
i've got to say that T-Mobile seem to have good servicing, not that the products should need repairing in the first place!
Have you tried a different cable?
I have one cable that only allows me to charge (must be damaged somehow) but all the others work fine with it.
i tried 4 cabels!
i wrote an email to o2 --> no answer yet
hard reset will be next thing to do. normal reset is done, no change!
but mayB o2 will simply give me a new one
i wouldn't mind
try, as well, to delete all partnerships, on pc and pda as well
I get that problem randomly also.
I've had it happen on 2 different computers, Win 2k Pro, Win XP Pro, Active Sync 4.2, Active Sync 4.5, WM5, WM6...
The best solution for any problems with any combination I had was REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
Worked every time.
they are delted.
no change
o2 wrote an email:
un-check the "hook" in settings - connections - usb2pc
or
hard rest should help
well as far as i know, i checkt the usb2pc thing, un-checked, checked it again... i tried quiet a lot. so this won't help
hard reset will be done as soon as i find out how to save all the sms, mms from the phone... anybody an idea?
to save your messages?
about sms - "jeyo mobile companion" will surely help you
mms? try sktools - i saw there backup of pocket outlook folders.
br
thank you.. jeyo helped
has anyone repaired his device usb already.Could you post where is the best place and cost to repair XDA Orbit's USB.
Thank You
First time I connected my phone to the PC, ActiveSync didn't work. Same simptoms, battery was charging, but no connection from AS. Turned out "DHCP Client" service was stopped in Windows. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. See if the status of that service is "Started". It is by default.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion.all the system services are ok.I have orbit 2 and syncs like a charm.the orbit 1 unfortunately lost that ability due to a car charging problems as described above.I need to send it for repair but don't know where and how much that would cost me.
Thanks
MY GOD.... you mean it's a KNOWN fact the car charger ruins your artemis...
does this happen with 5V 1amp charger
or with a normal "usb" charger 5V 0.5amp....?!
both for car use.
car charging shouldnt be a problem if you plug it in AFTER you started the car (dont blame me though). when starting the car, there seem to be some possibility of high current peaks that can damage your device. i guess it also depends on the car...
I am not a very tech person but what I read in this forum is showing that exactly when you start the engine and your artemis is pluged in to the charger this thing happens.
I did hard reset, tryed 3 diferent usb cables and still no reacton.It is definately a hardware problem Mr Samov.
Regards
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..

Hi people! I got a problem. My hermes when connected to the PC USB active sync doesn't do anythink. I clear the storage on my hermes and nothing. And it's nothing to do with activesync too as I use it for my kaiser too. The phone charges ok. could it be my non original USB cable?
noup!
i had a pirate cable too... and is not the problem you can uncheck the little box on advanced conection that said let it advanced conection on sync or something like that jajaja
many roms has this issues
i upgrade again and everything goes fine but remember let it boot completely everytime conected when upgrade.
Coould also be teh ROM that you have used? sometimes if you have a vista it happens
Try going into connections/usb to pc/and unticking 'enable advanced......'
