hi
im a bit new to all this xda stuff.
ok ive just installed active sync 3.5 (from the cd). the phone will sync with my pc, however when i try to explore the xda the window opens and nothing happens. after about a minute this message appears -
critical communications service failed to start. then it says to restart.
tried this and then tried the latest active sync to no avail - what am i doing wrong.
all help much appreciated.
Are you running any firewall software on your PC ?
This can stop communication with the ppc, you can try disabling the software and try to explore again.

Recently a strange problem has developed, I cannot explore my phones data when connected through activesync. I have tried right clicking the activesync icon, and selecting explore, and also doing it through my computer. Neither method works, it just sits there for a while then, says "crititcal communication services have failed to start, try resetting the mobile device and connect again"
I have soft and hard reset, still won't work
But the strange thing is, it will still sync data from my pc, and I can still install programs that use an installer. :?
Anyone got any ideas ? its a right pain not being able to browse my phone to copy files.
Oh, I have also tried re-installing Activesync 3.7 still no joy! :roll:

Usually this problem turns out to be caused by a firewall. Do you have one?
Try turning your firwall off then explore.
Somewhere on this site there are settings to allow you to explore through the firewall.
Thanks Joe_PDA
I did alter my firewall settings the other day, it didn't even occur to me to try turning it off
Works fine now 8)
Cheers
hi, I have a little problem with active sync 4.5. before I used 4.2, coz I did not have installed vanilla before. But now I must use 4.5. When I connect device, synchronization work fine, but rapimgr.exe have 50 percent of CPU (i have HT Prescot). if I disconnect device, then is no way to connect it again, only restart PC, because process cannot be stopped any way (taskkill /pid xxx /f /t doesnt work). before I reinstall my windows (it is really necessary nevertheless) is there anybody who now what is the root cause of this problem? in work we still have w2k - no problem. I think reinstallation can solve this prob, but what is the root cause?...
I don't have this problem on any of my PC:s, did you uninstall previous version, reboot and installed 4.5?
Try uninstaling now, reboot and reinstall 4.5.
of course, did not help. And I also removed all information from registry, and delete all files in program files dir. If I have installed 4.2 no problemo. only with 4.5 (build 5096). no matter if firewall installed or not, mayby interference with some installed programs. nevermind, i am only curious what cause this. I have PDA´s for years, and this is 1st time when this happend to me.

I'm having the same problem with rapimgr
but my syncing doesn't even occur
and can't seem to run "contacts" on my hermes with the XDA Live 0.1 ROM
PC is XP Home SP2
never had a problem with Active Sync 4.2 until I installed 4.5 on top of it I think
then i tried uninstalling 4.5 and reinstalling it but doesn't seem to help any
anyone have any suggestions?
If you using older ROMs (not XDA nor vanilla - WM6) solution is to use only older version 4.2. description from MS said, that 4.5 is much much faster when transferring files and data bla bla, but for me I did not find any difference between 4.2-4.5. Perhaps I can look to MS KB base, or their forums for answers.
solved...?
the problem seems to be solved. it was Sunbelt Kerio Firewall. After uninstall everything work correctly. now I downloading the last version from here and I sent report if problem occur again.
Well, I solved my problems by doing a Hard Reset and then syncing with my pc and it worked
wm6 is definitely better/ faster than wm5

Hello Sinmae,
I can only sync once since I have installed 4.5 and then I have to reboot the computer again. I also use the Sunbelt Kerio firewall. After reading your post I unistalled Sunbelt Kerio firewall and everything worked fine.
Now I installed the latest version of firewall again and the problem is back. Did you do anything else??
ThanX

I think you can try one more thing, but then you lose all settings from previous version of kerio. Go to %root%\Program Files and delete (or backup) Sunbelt Software directory. In there is settings for kerio firewall, if you delete those files, you must set all security again, but perhaps this help. then reinstall kerio. now I am going to install other firewall, before I definitelly reinstall my OS. I also downloaded all updates from MS Win update, still same problem.

Hi sinmae,
as you expected it did not solve the problem deleting all the sunbelt files with the settings. Too bad I do like the Kerio sunbelt firewall. At least I know now what the problem is.
ThankX

Have you got the latest syncing software (eg Activesync 4.5 for XP)? Have you tried unchecking advanced connection? How about deleting all partnerships on the device and on the PC, and starting again?
yes, I did all, deleted partnership. i have the 4.5 version. even i flash the new rom for my device also.

Hi
1. Try uninstall your activesync then restart the pc then install the latest activesync.
2. Then try to sync ameo
Good luck
OK, try a different cable, if you can. Also, disable any antivirus and firewalls on the PC. If the latter works, you may need to configure them again - ie remove the Activesync exclusion in your firewall and add it again as an allowed connection.
thank you, i try now and answer. thanks again
dear all,
tried and not susscessful. Is there any way come out? thank you.
Did you also remove the partnerships on your device as wel as on your home system.
if not try this also.

Has you stopped or disabled any services on your Athena?
Some time ago, I disabled Credential Manager service as told in this thread and then I cannot sync using ActiveSync.
The solution was to enabled it again.
Hello all,
I got a problem when synching to my computer. I install activesynch 4.5 on windows XP and then i connect my usb wire to my pc to my MDA vario 4.
Problem is, the phone gets recognized by my pc and I can open the folders. But I am logged in the active sync as guest. I googled for this problem, but everywhere it says I should get a wizard when I connect to the sync program for the first time, but with me it does not :S.
I have tried reinstalling, but no success either.
Can someone assist me with this matter? I would really like to try a new ROM
Thanks and regards,
Are you sure u don't get the wizard?? Sometimes you have to Ctrl+Esc so it can pop up back to the front
Hi,
Yes I am sure unfortunately.
It is really weird.
Hope to see some usefull tips.
Regards,
Every time I have had issues with Active sync, I would just go download it again reinstall it, I wouldn't even bother uninstalling it and it would always mysteriously work...

Hi
Did you try to configure active sync on you phone?!
One time it didn't want to sync yet, then i did a hard reset and all works like a charm... Maybe you installed smething bad like i did...
You can create a backup with Sprite Backup http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=133&cat=3&dl_id=19
It creates a backup of everything you want, even settings and messages and make an executable that you can launch after hard resetting
Give it a try
Check your device-id?

Hi, my english is not the best but I will try my best.
Got some problems with my HTC HD2 (no custom ROM) and Active Sync 4.5 - I cant connect the Phone to the PC. My computer (WinXP) shows the "connecting..." dialog but nothing happens...
The troubleshooting Program says there is a problem with the IP-configuration...
I unchecked the "high speed data transmission" in "USB to PC", reinstalled ActiveSync, tryed the FixMapi command, restart the DHCP service, installed "ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab" on my phone (don't work), (of cause) deactivate Noton Internet Security 2011... no change.
Strage thing No.1: The Active Sync Program on my HD2 crash instandly after start! I don't know why. Is there a original Active Sync .cab to reinstall it?
Strage thing No.2: I used AS in June without problems but I deleded it some months ago... after reinstall it stops working.
Any ideas? I don't want to hardreset my phone again...
Greetings
you could try the steps described here, usually it works for me
OMG, It works. Thank you so much, you made my day!
That was much more easier than I expected!
