Hi.
I have already download the new w2k5 to my XDAII and now I can´t wyncronize it via USB with the new ActiveSync 4.0
I have tried via infrared and it works, but when i put my XDA II in the credle, and I try to do it via USB it doesn´t works... Any idea?¿
Thanks
are u sure the File/Connection settings/allow USB connection is checked??!!! :wink:....... otherwise,u cannot synchronise via USB...
RAGO :lol:
Yes, everything it´s ok
I don´t know what could it be... Maybe reinstalling activesync 4.0...
thanks 4 all.
The problem with the USB conection of my xda II and activesync 4.0 still kickin´...
I have read something abaut the same problem in another post? Or it´s just a dream?
Thanks.
It's kinda strange what's happening with u... :?
Now am not sure,but try the following:
*u must have service pack 2 installed(it's a prerequisite)
1-on ur mobile:go to active sync/menu/connections check synchronize all PCs using this connection,and in the window tab below choose USB.
2-try changing the USB port on ur PC.
3-try restarting ur PC,and ur mobile as well...
4-make sure the File/Connection settings/allow USB connection is checked
5-make sure ur cable is functionning well(try another device if u can,or another cradle if possible)
Good luck....

I´m trying to synchronize in a IBM T21 Laptop... Maybe USB 2.0 not soported? Does anybody knows if ActiveSync 4.0 and wm2k5 only works with USB 2.0 ?
Many Thanks
spend some time today to make it work.
first check on device manager if under network adapters exist "windows mobile-based device" and is ok (not with ! sign),
then go to control panel at network and internet connection > network connection.if you have network card there will be one local area connection (or maybe much depend how many network cards have in pc).when conected pocketpc (wm2005) will create another local area conection,connect and disconect to see what number have ex. local area connection 2.right click properties then better tick on show icon on notification area to see what is about connection.go to advanced windows firewall >settings.at general tab turn off,at advanced tab unmark this area connection only,( I want to say to unmark local area connection 2 or what number have this connection between pocketpc and pc) leave marked other local area conection (if is present) to keep protect your pc from outside.press ok in that window,now you are back in properties page check at general tab >tcp/ip protocol > properties to be selected obtain an ip address automatically press ok ok again. now in pocketpc go to start > settings > connections > network cards here select connect to "work" and adapter remote-ndis host select "use server assigned ip address" ok ok again.dissconect and connect pocketpc to pc.look at taskbar right-down corner of monitor,near clock,you should see appear network connection icon.first time at every connection between two little monitor will be a red dot going from one to another,in this time computere search for dhcp server to receive ip address,in short time (4-5-6 seconds) link will be active icon will be clear not fading like previous and the two monitors will blink.if this is not happened check on control panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > services if dhcp client is started,if not start it manual and change startup type to automatic.if until now everything is ok disconnect pocket pc, dezinstall old version of active sync install version 4.0 build 4343 restart pc.after pc started up connect pocketpc to pc,it should work.if still not work dezinstall active sync and from control panel uninstall windows mobile-based device disconect pocketpc restart pc install active sync and connect pocketpc,in this way windows reinstall networ driver and now must work ok.
btw I forgot to tel to check at active sync allow usb connection.
good luck.
Thank you very much for everything gabiz_ro.
Ok, I´m going to tell you what I have realized trying to follow your instructions.
Firstable I don´t have that you call:"windows mobile-based device" Or I didn´t find it... I have looked at Lan or Internet connection.
Then, I have tried to find out the conection that you talk abaut that it must be created when I connect my PPC, but I didn´t find it too. I tried to find it conecting the XDA II via USB and via Infrareds (remember that via IRDA does works)
Finally I changed at my PPC what you say abaut remote ndis host, I saved it, and disconnected and connected again, but it didn´t appear anything at taskbar right-down corner of monitor...
I don´t know what to do... And I´m sure that the problem is hosted the new activesync 5.0 or in wm2k5, cause one hour ago, when I came back to w2003se, I synchronized the ppc correctly with the credle via USB...
I´m feeling very weird with it, cause when I put the PPC in the credle (with wm2k5 and actvesync 4.0) the normal sound of the PC when you connect something reconigzed, don´t sounds... what I hear is the double "tun tun" that sounds when you connect something not recognized.
Many thanks
wm2003 is identified by windows as usb device.
but wm2005 like a network connection.
first
right click on "my computer" > properties > hardware > device manager.expand network adapters,and here when conected pocketpc to usb you'll see "windows mobile-based device"
second
local area conection 2 (or other number,in raport with how many network cards are installed on pc) you''l find in start > control panel > network and internet conection > network connection.but appear only when xda is connected if xda is disconected that "local area connection" dissapear too,and xda must be identified and driver installed (windows mobile-based device show without any ! symbol in control panel).infrared connection will not work here.on that local area network who represent connexion between pc and xda right click > properties and mark show icon on notification area.....
if you hear other sound like you say,maybe xda is not identified or windows didn't install corect driver.take a look to see in control panel what is wrong.expand universal serial bus to see if ther is some unknow device or something wrong.
there is control panel print-screen and taskbar area prinscreen.
Ok!
I think that finally thanks to you we have discovered the problem...
I don´t have everything you talk abaut in the device list...
But what I have is this: Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE- Remembber to change id Vendor)
It is with the yellow alert icon.
But what could I do to put it right?
thanks
YEEEEEEEEEEES!
Problem FIXED!
That was the problem... It was not recognized, and with alert yellow icon... Thank you very much gabiz_ro, if you´ll didn´t helped me, now I would be changing back to w2003se
Thank you very much again
ok.
glad to can help.

Hi There,
I have upgraded my Atom Life to WM6 (latest version from O2 site). Everything works well. But I have problems with syn via bluetooth and IrDA. Please see my problem below:
Before syn with bluetooth or IR, I can syn with USB well.
* For IrDA:
+ When I choose syn with IR from activesyn menu on Pocket PC it shows "Attention required" then I click on this it shows "Connection Not valid: cannot open the connection 'infrared port'. This connection does not exist or no longer support. Select a difference connection or try again"
+ I am sure that: IR in range and I can do this many time on WM5 as well as send and receive file between my Atom life and My Laptop.
* For Bluetooth:
+ When I choose syn with Bluetooth from activesyn menu on PPC it show "Cannot find an existing Bluetooth partnership with a PC that supports ActiveSyn Would you like to set up Partnership now?"
+ I am sure that: Bluetooth in rang and pair with my laptop, I can send and receive file between my Atom life and Laprop. I can syn via bluetooth with WM5 many times.
If anyboby know what are the problems and solutions for these please let me know. If you can point me some document that would be great.
Thanks in advance
I dont own Atom Life, however sounds like you havent got the COM Ports configured properly...with MS generic bt drivers add (Incoming connection) port (usually COM3 is selected by default) after adding the port go to Connection settings in Activesync and under (allow connection to one of the following) select COM3. Assuming you have already paired your device now go to bt connection settings in device and tap your PC name then tap refresh, wait until it discovers A/S, tick the box then add a com port on your device too. I usually select COM6 but I do not believe it matters. good luck if that doesnt work then you should ask O2.
PS...if you already have an existing partnership and its not syncing, then delete partnership from PC and device and start again.
Thanks for your information but I still not work. I did check carefully incoming connection port and I also configured allowing connect wireless on ActiveSync to connect this port. Every step, I think correctly because I configured and sync with WM5 in the day before I update WM6. I don't know why It happens when I upgrade to WM6 then I could not syn with Bluetooth and IrDA. Maybe, I should get help from O2 support centre.
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.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
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....)

My USB Port is broken. It was soldered but has broken again, and this time I think for good. I bought a high capacity battery (2 days only) and charger that charges the battery separately and I am forced to swap out the battery whenever it is dead.
I was able to flash successfully via SD Card to the PDAViet WM6.1 20273 ROM (removed the header, renamed nb0 and the extended image file only - but this did not fix the camera that crashes every time it is launched, the led test in diagnostics also fails).
Is there a way to flash the camera module as well from SD Card?
Now I want to sync the phone.
I have triend syncing over Infra-red and Bluetooth with no success. All the tutorials speak of syncing first via USB then the bluetooth option will work, but I can not do that.
Is there a hack/registry edit to allow the phone to sync over bluetooth without syncing over USB first?
I am looking also for a combination of apps that I can install via CAB that will allow me to transfer contacts AND install applications without ActiveSync for programmes that require ActiveSync. I prefer to get ActivSync over BT working though.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions
BT Syncing without USB
I got the BT syncing without first syncing over USB (on Vista only so far)
I followed this http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/05/how-to-sync-via-bluetooth-with-wmdc-in-windows-vista/ with a couple restarts and it works!
Next to get the camera working...
syncing bt via activesync is a sinch, piece-a-piss!
Use MS bt stack
PC...go-to COM Ports (bluetooth ooptions) add incoming port and remember it, now open Activesync 'Connection Settings' and select the same Port from the drop down box.
PPC... open BT settings and pair with PC, upon hitting 'refresh' you will see Activesync animation on PC Taskbar, dont forget to add outgoing COM Port (6) in PPC.

I realised before that the registry edit was not neccessary because WMDC 6.1 in Vista had the option to choose the BT serial port of your BT device in a drop down list. Actually I did not have to create an outgoing COM Port on the PPC to get it to work.
Well. I love this thing. I see people *****ing about video play back quality and blah blah blah....but really, im amazed with this thing.
I have a couple of things i need to get worked out. Im a friggen power user with my devices and like to not only use everything, but have it working like it should.
First issue....
I have 2 web mail accounts set up in my phone. Gmail and yahoo. the Gmail account gives me my notifications of new mail, but the yahoo account doesn't. Ill get an email in my yahoo account, my phone gets it at some point but doesn't tell me it came, and it shows the message as read already. Any suggestions?
the second issue has proven to be a b#tch. I cant get bluetooth syncing via active sync on my bluetooth dongled pc working. Ive put alot of time trying to figure this one out and it is a pain. I dont know where the problem stems from.....my pc's bluetooth stack, active sync on the pc, active sync on my tp, or bluetooth config on the tp.
Please help.

Don't know waht the issue is with this. I knwo you can only have 1 active profile that shows email count on the tab, but if you go to the email screen on the right side should list all unread email for each account.

Active Sync doesn't support bluetooth connections last time i checked. Closest thing you'll probably be able to do is find out what COM port your bluetooth dongle is using, set active sync to use only that COM port under connection settings, pair, and try to sync, but i think its required to use the USB cable.

I can only get it to work on USB and it's only on the USB ports on the back of the tower.
I have never used a cable to sync my Pro. Been using bluetooth on my Gen 1 Dell XPS since day one. I do recall on my iPaq 4700, for some strange reason the first time I had to use a cable after that worked fine. Use your computer to search for services on a device (Pro), once it finds the services and you pair it you should not have any problems.
Well, since it is possible to have a BT sync I would first make sure you can connect the phone to the computer.
You'll need to turn BT on for the phone and set it to visible mode so the computer to see it. Then follow the steps. Of course make sure your computer's dongle is working.
If you get a BT link then mess with active sync settings. Particularly see if the 'allow advanced network..." box is checked on your phone. For me if I keep it checked it won't work over USB, but BT may be different. The best I can offer you is to experiment and google.
