ActiveSync

Hello forum-mates! Does anybody knows/can help, why when the damn phone is not connected to the PC, most of the times the ActiveSync runs in the background? Of-course everytime I shut it down with HandySwitch, but still sometimes it comes up again.
Thanx for your reply.

operating system / async version / finer detail please.

you plugged in the cable?

Hello and thanks for your reply. The details you ask for are:
OS/WM5 - both ActiveSync 4.2 and Vista Mobile Device Center
ROM 1.12.405.1 ELL (Greek version)
Date 9/12/06
Radio 02.67.90
Protocol 4.1.13.28
I don't know if there is any proper way that I should follow to disconnect the phone (which I don't?), after sync. Thanks.

Have you tried a search on here or googled ?
Basically have to setup a fake server source.
Load Activesync, Menu, Add Server Source, at server address type anything i.e server, next, at user name type in i.e server and at password and domain, next, then tick off contacts, calender etc, then finish.
Then you should arrive back at ativesync main screen, menu then schedule, set peak time and off peak time to manually, ok.
Then Menu, Option, Delete Exchange Server and exit activesync.
All going well you should be able to stop activesync from running and it will only load when you need to sync.
Hope this lot makes sense.
Cheers

[REF] HowTo stop ActiveSync running all the time.

Hi everyone, I am constantly seeing allot of questions and duplicate posts all over the forums regarding for this ActiveSync issue, i.e. it is running in the background even after a disconnection from your PC or mail client etc. so I have created this thread to try to help clogging up some of the already big threads. Hopefully this will leave allot of valuable space left on the individual ROM's threads created by the cooks, so as to report non Microsoft related problems..
Full instructions and files here, hope this helps everyone at XDA.

Hi Blazeitup123.
The eLiAs_ASyncKiller.cab works fine but does not close activesync all the time, i.e every time I check my internet e-mail via gprs activesync stays open even with the eLiAs_ASyncKiller cab installed, and i have to close it manually.
The TaskManager route closes activesync all the time.

Here goes:
1) Open Active Sync
2) Click on "Menu" and select "Configure Server..."
3) Enter false info in the server address / user name / other details
4) Click on "Menu" and select "Schedule..."
5) In BOTH drop-down menus select "Manually"
6) Click on "ok" and then close Active Sync.
7) Make sure Active Sync is closed and see if it comes back to life.
Active Sync shouldn't re-open any more, since you've just configured it NOT to connect to the internet automatically / periodically any longer.
After you verify that Active Sync didn't re-open itself - you may then go back and delete the "false" server you entered before. You may do so by:
1) Click on Menu and select "Oprions..."
2) Hilight "Microsoft Exchange" and click on "Delete"
3) Click "Yes" to confirm deleting this server
That's it...

Glad I could help!

this seems to be some kind of registry setting.
if we could find the setting, it would be much easier to disable activesync when it is unwanted

Just do a full dump before and after all steps necessary. Then you can easily find out what changed by comparison.

doesnt work with Dutty's V1.9.
tried elias & the followed the taskmanager steps, did a soft reset with no luck!

Did yoy do as told in the first post? the Task Manager trick works for me every time with every rom!

the most simple and elegant solution:
just add activesync to exclusive list in the task manager...
1. when you'll check and get activesync on (uninvited)
2. go to task manager.
3. Click and hold on the word Activesync and then select from the pop-up "add to exclusive".
4. go to exclusive tab and thick activesync (repllog.exe).
done. worked for me many times (many ROMs)

It was one and the same thing with me with Swtos WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20748, Build 20748 V1.2 Full, UC Ready ROM. I couldn't manage to kill the ActiveSync. I tried all your advices but nothing.
I think it's come with Bild 20748 ROMs.
The previous Bilds are without any problem.
Many thanks

I-d like to try this final advice: What kind of Task Manager you use?
Thanks in advance.

Use Sktools - Notifications Queue -- Find replLog.exe that starts at time changes and disable.
Or use Programs --> accessories --> TaskManager and remove the appropriate notifications.

Froyo and exchange

I've searched everywhere but cannot find a solution that works.
I've just got a HTC Desire but cannot get ActiveSync to work. No one other has a Desire with froyo so I cannot get any help here. (they do got iPhones or window phones, which all can sync)
I use the exact same settings as they do, however whatever I do I get "authentication failed", and I know that I user correct domain/user/pass.
I tried owa through the browser and that worked fine. I checked the certificate and that was valid. Any ideas?
We run exchange 2003

go check the exchange original certificate's host name.
This was the problem with my setup.
On 2.1 it didn't care, on 2.2 the domain(host name) must be identical to the actual certificate of the exchange.

I'm going to assume you are running Froyo - as most exchange servers require remote wipe and unless your device meets the minimum security requirements it will not work.
Have you installed the certificate? (This may not be necessary as ActiveSync pulls the policies from the server)
Settings > Security > Install from SD Card
Froyo supports ".cer" certificates so you should not have a problem here.
Here is the main thing, in security you need to make sure you do the following:
Change screen lock - make sure you set a PIN password (MUST BE PIN!) If you have pattern password enabled you will not connect.
Lock phone after - this should be set to "Immediately"
After over a week of trying to get it working on my Desire changing to PIN password is what I had to do. Let me know if this works for you.
Failing this download the demo version of TouchDown from the android market and try to connect using the "Automatic" method - if it fails it should give you more details on what the actual problem is or you can always email NitroDesk who make the app for help.

Thanks will try!
tried and it did not help. I'll check with the retards managing our echange. My colleague tried with his user/pass and it worked straight away. there's something wrong with my user i guess.

There is a bug with certain configurations of Exchange 2003 where IIS will throw an error when you log in, if your password is set to expire within 14 days.
Try to log in with outlook web access and see you get "HTTP 401 Unauthorised".
If you do, and press F5 and see if it lets you in. If this happens then you just need to change your password and it should start working on your Desire.

Thanks for your answer st0kes, but it did not help. I can access OWA without any problem. I have tried to set a new password but that did not help either.

[Q] Active Sync Problems TP2

I am using Active Sync to push my gmail account to my TP2. Everything works fine on my older ROM and then I upgrade ROM to SEA 2.07.707.1
Later, I cannot connect to gmail server again, it keep asking for user and password eventhough I have check "save password". so i cannot sync to gmail.
Can anyone help me please....?
Is it a bug ROM or anything else?

Has it ever connected to Google Sync on the new ROM?
If no, I've noticed that the User Name format given in the Google Sync instructions doesnt' seem to work: [email protected]
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
But this format works: [email protected]
If you haven't already tried, try this format.
Also, sometimes ActiveSync will just stop being able to sync. But this error doesn't ask me to re-input my Google login, it just fails to sync. When this happens, I just uncheck all the boxes in ActiveSync (mail, contacts, calendar) and click Finish. Let ActiveSync do its thing (it will delete all your contacts, mail appointment, which is a bit scary). Then go back into the ActiveSync settings, recheck the boxes and soft reset.
This sounds like a different problem. But if you're stuck without a solution, maybe its worth a try. But you may lose all your contacts and other info from your phone, so its your choice . . .

@redpoint73 Thanks for reply...
I have try your suggestion... still not working... it keeps asking for user and password.
First try....
User : [email protected]
Domain :
also...
User : user
Domain : gmail.com
I try to check and uncheck sync option... nothing's change...

its appears that you are synchronizing from a different phone model, so follow these steps: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/zCWHBp5d9h4/flzZup0ouPAJ

Thanks for your reply. I tried the steps and yeah, I see my contacts on: https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts.
But on my Phone and the Google account there is no point to sync contacts
And I also installed the Google Contacts App, but I can't log in there witch my Account. When I start it, I must sign in witch my Account. but when I type in my login, it saies "this account is already connected to the device" but I can not select it.

You have to install Google contacts sync v. 6.0.1 and the synchronisation should work perfectly.
