[Q] Activesync and Outlook 2010 on XP PC - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Activesync has decided to stop working, I have recently upgraded to Office Pro 2010 and the initial sync worked OK (although it only synced 2 weeks on calendar) but now it won't sync at all. The device (HD2) is connected via USB to a PC running XP (Sp3) and this is being recognised.
The only new thing I've added is Cookies Home Tab (v2) and I've re-installed Activesync to no avail.
Any help, as always is gratefully received

Have you tried deleting and re-establishing your Activesync partnership with your PC?

Yep, tried that a few times

Is it Activesync 3.7 or Outlook 2003 or Windows 2003 ?

I am currently running ActiveSync 3.7 with Outlook 2003 on a windows 2003 machine.
For some WEIRD reason my computer freezes every once in a while and i have to reset it, after trouble shooting the application that causes my pc to freeze is Outlook 2003, but i am wondering if it can be because it is using activesync or anything like that...
Any ideas guys?
yes
Yes I have same configuration and similar problem.
Maybe you are right, its because of Outlook 2003. I can only synchronize once and then I have to kill activesync to synchronize my xda again. (http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3262)
Have you tried to synchronize it without outlook items? maybe only favorites or folders?
yup I'll confirm that problem too
running Office 2k3 Pro on MSW2k3EE with same symptoms...
I thought it was my 2k3 rom acting up lol
sorry O2
Active synch and outlook 2003
You will have to uninstall the active synch application from Control Panel.
Then go to program files and delete the directory Activesynch. Reboot.
Download AS 3.7.1 and install it. It should work and resolve the synch problem.
Also check on the settings of your USR connection ( there is a USB2 patch on Windows update that corrects the disconnecting of the USB.
usb update
Hi Ronin
I can't find any usb2.0 update for windows 2003. Could you send download link?
Thanks
Windows 2003 has USB 2 support enabled at the OS level. If you are using Office 2003 in Windows 2000, XP home or Professional you should use the "windows update" under tools in your Internet Explorer.
If you system needs it it will show as one of the OS recomended updates.
Note: also check on your firewal software and enable " connection manager" to allow listening in for TCP ports, some of which are used by MS office, Active synch USB calls and the device itself. A lot of people do not realize that the active synch comes into weird ports and their firewall blocks those calls ( Check your firewall logs to see if connection manager and activesynch attempts were blocked!)

activesync 4.0 problems

Hello,
Last night I installed wm2k5 on my Qtek 2020, works Great! Big thanks to everybody who helped to get this working .
unfortunately I stil have a problem synchronize my 2020 with my work laptop. (win XPPRO SP1, office 2003) On USB I get connection but nothing happens.
synchronize with IR there is a connection and it starts to synchronize but stops with a support code. It says: ActiveSync encountered a problem on the desktop. support code: 0x85010014
My home computer runs win XPPRO SP2, office 2003. here I can synchronize with no problem
I switch of all firewalls and security policy, and attemped various solutions whichs are posted these last days
anybody ideas?
Download SP2 :roll:
I would like to do that but it is my work laptop, They are a little slow :wink:

Im getting annoyed with activesync 4 and wm2005

It just sits there saying 'Connecting'
I tried the ip address change in Remote-NDIS Host
tried uinstall/reinstall Twice
Tried repair
tried outlook default mail
Tried turning firewalls off
im running XP pro with SP2 , activesync 4 (build 4343)
and wm2005 OS 5.1.1700 (build 14326.0.0.0)
Please help. Im sick of searching...
I upgraded my O2 XDA II tonight and everything went OK except like you my PC just sits there now "Connecting"
I know this may sound kind of strange: I tried disabling my software firewall on my PC (ZoneAlarm) as well as disabling Adware- Adwatch, but the PDA and the PC still wouldn't sync. AS 4 just displayed "Connecting".
I decided to also try disabling my antivirus software (Norton AV) in addition to the other disabled software and "suddenly" I can sync again!. Go figure.
Still cant sync...
Im transfering files via bluetooth until i fix this.
Still searching!
Really weird: I turn on the Norton AV auto-protect = no connection between AS & XDA. Turn off the Norton AV auto-protect = sync. I just spent the last hour bouncing back and forth to insure that Norton was the blockage.
The only thing I can suggest is download ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's website, uninstall current version, reboot PC, install new version.
Mount PDA on cradle...
System will not recognize it again.
Unplug USB cable and plug it again BUT IN ANOTHER USB PORT on PC.
System will detect and install properly.
I hope this works for you as it did for me.
Regards,
Rayan

dcd rom issue with activesync on xp AND vista

I loaded DCD 2.1.0 and discovered an issue when I try to sync with 2 computers, one being Vista/Office 2007, the other being XP/Office 2003.
Whichever one is first, works fine. But the moment you connect to the other, it gives a deskop error.
I flashed the system a few times, and tested it. Once I reverted back to Verizon's ROM, it all worked fine.
Unfortunately, my need for work/home sync outweighs the advantages of dcd...
PS - I only confirmed this with Calendar. If I uncheck all items for sync (so nothing is synced), the connection works fine.
update your xp machine to outlook 2007 which vista uses

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Its as work machine, thats not an option. But I should clarify in my post the versions of Outlook.

Help with Activesync Error Message

I have a att 8525 with wm6. My pc has windows xp home edition service pack 2 2002 edition. When I connect phone via cradle upon reboot of the pc I get a message new hardware found it then tries to sync. After this attempt I get a message device not detected so I do the troubleshoot after the trouble shoot it comes up with 2 issues one which really confuses me. I downloaded activesync version 4.5 but here is the message I get below
1 To synchronize email etc with your PC Microsoft Outlook XP or later must be installed
2 Unable to establish a connection between pc an my device. It then gives a link to a guide for this with all sorts of changes to make on the phone etc. I have performed a great deal of them changes enabling and disabling settings they ask for etc but this has not resulted in any change or a connection
My biggest question concerns the first issue mssage I get. 1 unable to synchroniz with my pc because it seems to says Microsoft Outlook Xp or later must be installed. When i went to install the activ sync my windows xp home edition was listed as compatible. So I am very confused here. Do I need to upgrade to the outlook 2007 ( More Money damn ) or is there another way perhaps a lower version software or am I missing something. If it matters i am connected via wifi wireless router which I just installed Any Help will be greatly appreciated, greatly

I couldn't sync after I did my first ROM upgrade and it was an official upgrade from AT&T, thats how I found this place. I would suggest reading through the Hermes WIKI, then looking through the Hermes section, it was a REALLY BIG help to me. Now on to your questions:
You have to have MS Activsync installed on th PC, I would try finding v4.2 as I have been having problems with v4.5 and 4.2 fixed it.
Are you trying to sync with the USB or just with the WiFi connection???? I don't think you can sync via WiFi or Bluetooth.
You only need Outlook 2007 if you use it as your E-mail client (I don't use MS Outlook or MS internet explorer).
Sync Solution!!
I had the same problem. I tried on my 3 pcs & figured out. USB connection is the best for all connection & sync.
Microsoft Outlook XP or later is must to sunc contacts & e-mail. if you dont have those & have Outlook Express you need a program (I forgot the name) to install in your computer & cab in DPA which sync contacts with Outlook Express.
i did following.
For sync connection make sure you have all security disable or you allow main 4 files to communicate. check this troubleshoot for help on allow files for different security programs.

once you see device detection click "Explore" on active sync even it is connecting the device..if you see the phone files it means it is connected but somehow not synchronizing.
then try to muck aroung advance USB connection tick & untick. and also connected via The Work & The Internet connections in connection settings.
Hope it helps.

This happens to me when I upgrade to a new ROM, and I am unable to resync via ActiveSync. The first thing I check and gets me back to be able to sync 99% of the time is the USB setting on the phone.
Go to->Settings->Connections->USB to PC->Then UNCHECK "enable advanced network functionality"
That always gets me back to be able to sync again via USB. Hope that helps...(a little late I know....)
