Dear All
Please help: I have an O2 XDA IIs which MS Activesync 4.1 does not detect, despite all my efforts during the last few days (I also have an old iPAQ 1940 which Activesync detects fine).
The XDA is from work, so could it be that it is somehow locked, and if so, how can I unlock it?
Also, as an alternative, can I sync the XDA with my PC via Bluetooth through the iPAQ's?
Any ideas will be gratefully received!
Many thanks in advance,
L
Hi there,
I've Looked through hundreds of forums and although I have seem similiar I haven't found a resolution to my exact problem.
Due to the fact that I've been trying to resolve this issue on and off all day it's probably something really simple... :roll:
HISTORY
PDA
Was running WM2003SE on a Xda IIS.
PC
ActiveSync 3.8 on Laptop with Windows 2000 SP4 and all updates. Laptop on a home LAN with router. No firewall software and have since removed all Spyware removal software, (after doing one last scan).
My Task \ Issue \ Problem
I wanted to to the upgrade to WM2005 and followed all the usual procedures. The one mistake I may have made was to install the very very latest 4.1 Activesync without removing 3.8. However at this stage my XDA was still on 2003SE and synced perfectly with 4.1 Activesync.
I performed the upgrade to WM2005 including patches and as far as the XDA is concerned everything appears to be working.
Activesync however doesn't work. Via the USB cradle Windows 2000 detected a device and under device properties it's was listed as Generic RNDIS, it's now listed as a windows mobile based-device. I don't have an entry in my network connections, although I think this only happens with Windows XP. I've tried uninstalling Activesync, removing the rapi.dll file, reinstalling etc, I even did the former and removed entries within the registry and running a registry fixer but to no avail.
I then decided the Bluetooth route but cannot sync via this method either. I can actually succesfully connect from PC to XDA and vice versa but cannot use these connections for Activesync.
I have another Hard Drive for this Laptop which I use for testing. I can simply shut down, swap drives and boot again to another build. The other build is also Windows 2000 with SP4 and pretty much nothing else. I've installed Activesync 4.1 onto this machine, plugged in the cradle and everything works fine.
So..... I know the XDA is fine, The cradle's okay and Activesync 4.1 actually works with my XDA OS. The problem is it doesn't work on one particular build. I believe this is actually a Activesync issue but due to some form of conflict with my build. It's currently out of the question for me to rebuild so my mission is to find out what's conflicting.
Just to summarise though..... Activesync 4.1 was working fine, I upgraded XDA to WM2003 to WM2005 and then it stopped. The other harddisk proves that Activesync does actually work with my XDA.
Pheeeew...... I hope somebody doesn't suggest lack of information.... :lol: :lol:
So the reason for the post?? Well if anybody else is having frustrations, (which I'm sure I'm not the only one judging my my searching), your not alone.
I think a lot of people's problems have actually been resolved by the latest version of Activesync, (4.1), and other people have resolved by sorting out the main culprit of firewalls.
For me though I'll keep searching..... if any of you can think of any other ideas I can use for diagnosing the problem I'll appreciate it.
Thanks in advance..... sorry for the waffle.....
RESOLVED
Okay.... During further searching I noticed people mentioning VPN clients interfering.
I did have SecureRemote VPN installed which I use for work purposes.
I uninstalled SecureRemote but had to uninstall & re-install Activesync again. This time it's working.....
I will, (but not tonight), re-install the VPN client and see what happens. If Activesync countinues to work then, apart from being happy, it's worth making a note of.
If it doesn't work then I'll start to investigate why...... I know the new active sync does some form of IP connection but I cannot accept that it won't work with VPN's installed.
use windows XP (SP2) ...
first install the activesyn and then restart your computer.
then attach your pocket pc with usb cable.
and try to connect.
its works for me...
hey guys i am not to sure if this is supposed to go here but can anyone tell me why my phone is unable to sync contacts and file with activesync 4.5
more details? what device, what rom? what OS?
i have tried many of the new roms including most of the manilla 2d roms on here i am currently trying tot do it with crc 13 stable and still no joy on a Rogers Htc TYTN
still not enough info, what OS are you running?! what error are you getting when trying to sync?
Activesync 4.5 problem
I'd like to jump into this discussion. I also have a problem with Activesync 4.5 recognizing and connecting to me Herm200. The oddest thing is that it has functioned correctly, but for some reason it isn't any more. I have two of the same device and it is the same for both. I also have a Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) and that device has no problems what so ever connecting.
Here are the specs of the OS installed on the Herm200:
WM5 ROM version 2.11.255.1
Radio version 1.38.00.10
Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H
ExtROM version 2.11.255.102 installed.
Any assistance to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Try: start menu>settings>connections>usb to pc and uncheck the checkbox
Maybe it sounds bizarre, but also try a different cable, in a different usb port, turn off your computer firewalls, and try cleaning your mini usb on the phone. I got a piece of dirt in mine and nearly tore out my hair until i got it fixed. I had a cable go bonkers, which gave me a lot of grief, and one time the usb port decided it DIDNT like my phone anymore
Plus, for some reason i have to diable the firewall everytime on nod32 until i can connect.
Hope one of those helps....

I have the same problem... T_T

Hope you can help me..
I just bought a Softbank HTC X01HT, when i connected it to my PC, Microsoft Activesync cannot detect it. But my HTC is charging.
What I did:
1. I am using a new USB cable, tried another USB cable = no success.
2. Tried to sync to another PC = no success.
3. Uninstalled Microsoft Activesync, reinstall Activesync = no success.
4. Did some research, uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality" = no success
5. Hard Reset = no success
6. Connection Settings --> Connect = "Your device was not detected"
COM 1 = Available
COM 2 = Not installed
Infrared Port(IR) = Not installed
USB = USB is available
and it gives the beeping sound (sound you get when you plug in your USB) but nothing happens after.
Btw, im using WM 6.1 Pro.
My Bootloader shows:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.03
I'm losing hope.. T_T Hope someone can help me. Sorry for being such a noob. >.<
Thanks in advance!

I have had real buggy Active Sync problems only with the last 2 ROM's I've flashed, Joshkoss's V.10 and PDA's V.27. Both are using build 20759 which I think is the culprit for me.

thanks for the help man, doing this actually worked for me, one thing that i also had to do was restart both my computer and my phone before it would work.
By the way i am using CRC 13 on my HERMES

Oh my..., now I'm the only one that has the Activesync Problem. T_T
Two ROM's that I am using.. Pays ROM Lite & Full - WM6.1 WWE with Big Storage and 27/10/2008 ROM 3.62.502.20 (Manila2D) V.20 Build 20921 by PhamQuang.
What ROM can you suggest to test the Activesync problem? Thanks in advance..
If I'm using a usb cable to connect, how might this remedy the problem? I did try what you have suggested without success.

try using the crc 13 that i used but if it doesn't work right away try either checking or unchecking the box in usb to pc for enabling advanced network functionality
maybe its installin drivers on the computer possibly? because the sound made generally is a new hardware detect just my 2 cents
Just a thought but it may be the version of Office / Outlook being run. I've been running office 2003 w/ outlook, Active Sync 4.5 with my Hermes 200 on the original AT&T 6.0 for the last year without issue. My company recently upgraded everyone to Office 2007 and ever since my Active Sync has had nothing but issues with syncing especially over blue tooth.

Same here, I have a laptop that runs 2003 Outlook and that works fine, but 2007 - pah what a waste of time. Shame as I really like 2007, maybe it is better on Vista ?! Doing some reading around the web seems to suggest that syncing with 2007 is hit and miss. Works for some not for others, seems like MS strike again !
I'm running outlook 2007 and hosted exchange 2007 through infoquest. Not having any issues either way. May be you can post the error codes you get on active sync, I did have to enter some registry fixes on my laptop but it hasn't given me any issues.
Can't speak for anyone else but if I try to sync with Outlook 2007 all that happens is it goes into a weird loop syncing blank entries continually. Last time I tried I had over 300 blank contacts in Outlook and none of my Outlook contacts on my device ! No messages nothing. That of course is when it does anything, if I delete the pairing then quite often when I plug it back in it will repair and then do nothing ! I now use my laptop to sync up as it works with 2003 reliably.
I noticed the following thing: When using a rom cooked with a build above 20755, syncing under Vista is a challenge. It works when... it works. With a build equal or before 20755, it works like a charm. I flashed back and forth with 2 different builds. No programs installed. And I get the same results. Could it be related to some differences in builds?
Anyone know of a way to get a pda phone such as an i-mate ultimate 9502 to pretend to be a smartphone?
We have corporate email at work which needs an initial setup - which works fine with smartphones ( used to use a blackjack i600). would like to use my ultimate 9502 instead but the setup fails.. am thinking that this is due to the phone being more than a smartphone.
any ideas, anyone?
My problems appear to be caused by the applications that the ultimate 9502 auto insytalls after a hard reset. Is anyone familiar with a way of preventing or delaying this autoinstall? I have upgraded the 9502 to the new windows mobile 6.1 thinking that this may resolve the problem.
After upgrading my HTC touch pro 2 to the new relased Windows Mobile 6.5 i have two problems that I don't know how to solve.
1./ I am using Lotus Notes Traveler to synchronise with my mail at work - when changing to WM 6.5 synchronisation is only working when usin WLAN.
3G/GPRS etc does not work - it has something to do with "port 80" etc - can anyone help me out?
2./I had previously WM 6.1 and had installed TomTom 7.
When upgrading to WM 6.5 I only get a message that TomTom doesn't work with this version. Is there any way to "get around" this?
All I can tell you is that I validated Traveler on both the HTC TP2 and the AT&T Tilt 2 running WinMo 6.5 and ran it for a week with no issues.
Are you using a VPN client to connect to your server, or are you running an SSL setup, or a server outside the DMZ?
Maybe this is a port blocking issue from your network.
I am trying to connect via the telephone operators server (3G/GPRS) through to an IP-adress (our company server)
This worked very well when I had installed traveler on WinMo 6.1 but I haven't managed to get it operational when doing the same installation on the WinMo 6.5 platform.
As I mentioned via my home-WLAN it works perfect.
If you are using a url for the server address, try using the ip address instead.
Thank you golfer_boy, for pointing me in the right directio.
I have spent a good portion of the day, thoroughly running through my telephone-provider settings, and found out that there was something strange with some proxy-settings.
Now I have Traveler up and running at full speed.
If you hadn't encouraged me stating that you had been running it, I would probably not have put all that effort into it.
Thank you fo the support and best regards!
Glad I could be of some help.
We started using Traveler about six months ago for our US PDA users and it has proven very reliable for us. I have compared e-mail delivery to the same device running BB Connect and found no difference. The only thing it lacks is a corporate address book lookup but that has not proven a big problem for us.
Hello,
I have the same problem (working with WLAN, but not 3G/GPRS), but it is no difference in using a host or an IP-adress. Any other idea?
(Using Samsung omnia II (winmo6.5) now, worked before with SE Xperia (winmo 6.1))
Soren5939, what was the solution? was it the host/IP?
My admin has told me to disable proxy, but in 6.5 I don't find this option...
Soren5939, I'm having the same problem with a HTC Touch Pro 2 on Winmo 6.5. Exactly what did you change in the proxy settings?
Hi,
is there anybody who can explain how to install the traveler properly on WM6.5?
Want top update my phone to WM6.5 but want to be sure that Traveler will work and I do not know if I can install the current Traveler on WM6.5 at all. And IBM still says that they just support till WM 6.1. There support do not even know if or when they will update Traveler.
Thanks for your help
Just updated to Win Mobile 6.5. Installed the Lotus Notes Traveler for Win Mob 6.1 and everything worked.
Cheers
Unable to install Lotus Traveler 8.5.1 on HTC Windows mobile 6.5
Hi Can you pls help me as I am Unable to install Lotus Traveler 8.5.1 on HTC Windows mobile 6.5
Thank you
I was working with the Traveler for a few month on WM6.5 with no issues but since i switched to WM6.5.x (6.5.3 atm) it only syncs for the first time after being installed. From then on it gets an Error 8.
I tryd this with several roms but with no positive result.
Can anyone confirm this?
btw: Im on a TOuch HD
I too work with Notes Traveler and the latest release of any custom rom i use puts the phone into an unusable state (mostly non-responsive). I have Tried Juicey R8 and Energy Leo.
I'll have to try a stock 6.5 ROM in the future. If not.. it will be back to 6.1.
Update: I removed my SD storage card and soft reset. Phone works fine with Notes Traveler and Energy Leo ROM. I'm in the process of reformatting my SD card to see if that helps.
Update2: My TP2 running Energy Leo works fine as long as my storage card is not in the device. Maybe there's a DLL issue with accessing the storage card when one is present.
Seeing something similar here.
Phone: HTC TP2 on Win Mob 6.5 (Vodafone UK Rom)
I have now spent a few days messing around with this, and this is where Im at.
1) Im pretty sure the Notes traveler install messes with my phones ability to turn off the screens backlight off, but Im sorted that with a Reg Fix
2) Can confirm that Notes traveler doesnt like switching networks (WLAN, 3G)
3) It too installed for me the first time, but as I saw other issues with the phone I had to flash the ROM again.
Same problem here.
Install Traveler and the first sync works fine. After that there is no send/receives. My IT guy has the same phone and ROM so I am not sure WTF is going on.
Any help would be great. Someone had posted that they fixed theirs, but did not include what the hell they fixed.
Any comments???
Problem is solved
the new Version of the Notes Traveler (8.5.1 fixpack2 otherwise called 8.5.1.2) is fully compatible with WM 6.5.x
I installed the new version on our server an flashed a 6.5.x ROM onto my HD2.
Then you´ve to update the client version on your phone
The traveler is know working fine.
Greetz,
Mirco
I can confirm that Traveler 8.5.1.2 works perfectly fine on my TP2 with stock WM6.5 ROM. I tried syncing over 3G and WLAN.
And btw., does anyone know if it's possible to sync only mail, not calendar, using Traveler? I know it's not officially possible, but maybe some registry hack?
Traveler and WinMobile 6.5.3
I've found a problem using 6.5.3 on my X2 when trying to Sync with Traveler.
1st sync is perfect, but everytime efter that the phon keeps sending calendar updates until you tell it to stop. If you try to wait and see how many calendar entries it sends you'll be out of battery before it's done.
It starts with 0 of 9 ( example )
1 of 9
2 of 9
And keeps on and on. And goes beond 9.
After a few hours you'll be looking at 2469 of 9
Any suggestions any one.
Hello dicksoft.
Please, try set Mail and Calendar settings from "Show all" to needed period.
Maybe You syncing too many Calendar events.
In Traveler - Menu/Settings/2.Mail and Calendar
Show past events
Show upcoming events
Example:
Show past events- 1 Month
Show upcoming events- 3 Months
Traveler experience - HTC TP2 on Win Mob 6.5
Hello all Lotus Travelers
Here is my config
Phone: HTC TP2 on Win Mob 6.5 Profesional (Czech stock Rom)
ROM version: 1.86.401.1 (67102) WWE
ROM date: 10/07/09
Radio:4.49.25.17
Protocol:61.44tc.25.32U
ExtPkg: 401.2610.12478.61306
Lotus Traveler 8.5.1.1 Build:201001012250
I m using Traveler 2 weeks on daily basis.
Evertything works fine.
No network switching issues - syncing works fine on WIFI and also GSM. But I have it set to 2G not 3G. Its saves my baterry.
No backlight issues.
I have just moved from a T-Mobile TouchPro2 (US Model) to an Orange TouchPro 2 (UK Model).
The T-Mobile was WM6.1 and the Orange is WM6.5 and both ROM's are stock.
On the T-Mobile ROM I was able to sync my Contacts & Calender with my works issue XP laptop running Outlook 2007.
When I set up my new Orange TP2 on the same laptop everything worked fine for about 3 days. Now when I connect I get a message saying I will only be able to view files etc. No sync is available and the message goes on to advise me to install MS Outlook. Of course Oulook has not been removed.
I deleted the sync partnership on the TP2 and tried again with no success. I re-installed activesysnc and this worked but only for about 5 connections. I now get the same message.
I still have my T-Mobil TP2 and did some testing with that but I can not get it to fail. When I retest with the Orange TP2 it fails within 5 syncs attempts.
Is this a known bug in WM6.5? I have searched the forums and there is a lot of info regarding problems syncing to Exchange (Push mail) but I do not use that service or connect in that way.
Any help appriciated.
does no one else see this problem?
I've noticed a similar issue when connecting my Tilt2 to my Windows 7 laptop. It will sometimes only connect once per boot. In other words I can plug it in and it will connect. But when I unplug and replug, it will make the little "USB Connect" sound but not actually connect. After rebooting, it will connect again.
Windows Vista and 7 use a slightly different method of syncing than XP (Windows Mobile Device Center). I've noticed that if I set up a named partnership in WMDC it seems to give more reliable connections.
I'm not sure that really helps your situation but at least know that you're not alone in sync wonkiness.
Similar problem running Activesync 4.5 on old Windows 2000 work laptop (don't ask ) Current ROM NRGY Phoenix 2 16 Jan 21889 Titanium build. Seems to be specific to some ROMs, but cannot for sure say which branch works better for Activesync.
It doesn't appear to be a common problem. But since I had never seen it before I started using WM6.5 I was sure it was a bug in the ROM. It's a real pain in the ass when it happens as you have to delete the sync partnership on the phone before it will reconnect. Then you have to set up all your favorite contacts and speed dials all over agin. I have just started a new job here and I am adding 3 or 4 new conacts every day at the moment so couldn't have happened at worse time. Might be time to try a cooked ROM.
TP2 Activesunc won't recognize Outlook - WM6.5
Have had this same problem now for over a month. Have been syncing Activesync v4.5 with WM6.5 on TP2 for over a year previously. Transitioned from MSO-2003 to MSO-2007 with no sync issues. Fresh install of MSO-2010 and TP2 will mo longer recognize that my computer has MS-Office installed. have not found solution anywhere to date. Appreciate any updates from other with any solutions ....
