Hi Guys, I just took my old XDA2 out of retirement (it died as I broke the sim card reader) And decided I want to use it as an about the house Internet Browser and possibly media player.
I know what software to put on it to make it do what I want but I'm stuck with getting it to to connect to the net
I have tried several ROM's (I hate the official o2 rom just because of all the crap) I like the WM6 ROM as it is the latest software But when I put it back into my cradle it comes up unrecognised and wont sync with active sync.
I cant get it to sync over bluetooth either? I can pair it with my PC via bluetooth but cant synch it. As I have windows Vista I am trying to sync with windows mobile device centre and still no joy. personally i dont care f it does sync but I'm sure I need it to so that i can browse the internet on my xda????
Now I'm stuck... do I flash it with an older ROM in the hope it will start to sync with one of my 2 PC's (It really needs to work with the vista PC)
Or is there another way I can set this up regardless of the rom so I can have some kind of local bluetooth network where I can access the net and my PC via the XDA2?
I would prefer the latter as I can Use the newer WM6 ROM.
my xda2 sync just fine over bluetooth
i set the xda2 in descoverymode and add it from vista bluetooth setup
and the xda2 see the vista pc and let me add it and then
in activesync on the xda2 i pick sync over bluetooth
otherwise you can take a look at this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
I have a lot of problems with sync over bluetooth, but my reason is really simple, I turn off microsoft firewall on my PC with WinXP and It is work fine..I can be on net and icq...
Internet over activesync???
Hi, is there a way to connect my xda to internet over activesync?
unless you have disabled it on the pc or on the pocketpc
your pda is always connected to the same network internet and otherwise when
connected to activesync
can u teach me how? after disabling connection from the pc, wat will i do nxt?
"can u teach me how? after disabling connection from the pc, wat will i do nxt?"
hhmmm at no point did i tell you to disable connection from the pc.....
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
there are some texts showing "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using"
and a dropdownbox
select the dropdownbox item which is not called something like "my isp"
but pick the one thats called something like "my network"
then all programs trying to access the internet will be forced to use activesync as internet connection and if activesync is not connected they will fail!
Ei man, kinda misunderstood it. sorry. I'll try it later. BTW, u know how to upgrade wm2003se to wm5 or wm6? can u teach me step by step how to's? or possibly know a clear steps by steps procedure threads?
this is a copyPaste directly from the file in all the roms called READMEFIRST.txt
"Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe (or HimaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe if flashing on any Himalaya other which is from than O2)
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES"
Ei man, thnx, ur advice work with activesync.

Suddenly, by USB sync is gone. I can BT ActiveSync and serial, but no USB. I am sure it's something in software, because after hardreset it recognized via USB again.
Any ideas?
TIA
little help
:idea: I had the same problem twoweeks ago ,and I realized that from some strange reason one small application repllog.exe (located in windows directory) is not activated anymore. This aplication activates USB communication, and when you run this manually -active-sync will work. However I dont know how to fix this problem to run it automaticcaly, but -i don´t want it eather, because of I´m using connectionto internet through GPRS of my XDA2 (WModem+HTC USB modem driver+USB modem dialer) and automatic sync via ActiveSync makes collision in communication (blocking USB port)......
From M$ site:
PRB: ActiveSync May Stop Responding or May Not Connect After Many Soft Resets
SYMPTOMS
If you soft reset Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 for a Pocket PC device or for a Pocket PC Phone Edition many times, the device may stop responding when you synchronize with Microsoft ActiveSync through a serial cable or a USB cable. Infrared transfer speeds are not affected.
RESOLUTION
Hard reset your Pocket PC device. For more information about how to perform a hard reset, see your device documentation.
MORE INFORMATION
Restoring an ActiveSync backup may not resolve this problem if the backup was made when the problem existed.
To reproduce the problem, perform a soft reset several hundred times.
I've root it down this problem to notifications queue. Memmaid apprently killed repllog.exe, as mcmills correctly pointed out.
I also recently encountered this problem. I cannot, however, find repllog.exe.
I even usedthe search function but the file is just not there. I am an
experienced user and I do not remember deleting anything.
By the way, I'm using Windows 2000 SP2.
repllog.exe
For>ahro
this file is not in PC, but in XDAII, so you need to look there: XDAII_root\Windows\repllog.exe ....
I installed 2005, and couldn't sych at all by AS4, everytime it tried to connect, i said looking for changes and then a protection fault, so I downgraded to wm2003se and active sych couldnt connect, I reinstalled AS 3.7 and then 3.8, but it can not run at all it just starts connecting, then stops and I can not show Activesynch window, it can not even explore the device
does anybody have a solution for this, or do I have to format and reinstall windows
yo medman
personally i think it was a bad mistake to upgrade to W2005. cause its still in the development phase and u wont find a lot of help from us users cause most of us are still waiting for a stable version to come out
looking at u'r situation
hard reset u'r PPC, do not connect u'r USB.....now install 3.8 MSYNC....... restrt u'r computer.....n then once rebooted......connect the USB cradle with u'r comp and put in u'r PPC...
it shld work now..
best of luck
sync problem...solved!
hey medman,
i don't see why every one is dissing wm2005, its a great rom!
but for the people who are having problems with connecting their device with wm2005 to ActiveSync 4.0 i figured out what is wrong:
if you connected your device to your computer before you installed the new
ActiveSync, it set your device with no driver, and even if you have the
ActiveSync driver now you computer allready recognised your device, so:
the solution is to delete the device setting under device manager of your
computer [start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager]
now with device manager open and with you ppc not connected:
go to the view tab and check "show hidden devices"
then look for the driver of the ppc most likely under the "Non-Plug and Play
Drivers" but if it is not there look around for the driver
when you find it, you went to delete it by right-clicking on the driver and
clicking uninstall
after you delete the old driver have ActiveSync running and place your ppc in the cradle, and the new driver should be installed by ActiveSync 4.0
if you need activesync 4.0 just tell me and i can give you my sight that i uploded as4.0 and wm2005 in a rar file, by the way...most answers are being found on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
re:
To rooschool: I did what u suggested but same...
To Destroyer7337:
I didn't connect the ppc before the active sych, I raid this topic before I tried wm2005, I took all the precautions u mentioned, but to no avail, any way I downgraded to 2003se bu I cannot synch with all versions of activesynch
Driver?
What is the name of the driver? I can't find anything in non plug and play and I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Hi all,
I just upgraded my xdaII from WM2003 to WM2003SE which seemed to work ok.
I then got the issue where the screen stops responding and worked out how to edit the config.txt file, ok I thought I'll just re-install SE.
So I dock my XDA into the cradle but it wont connect with active sync 4 anymore, which means I cant install the OS again.
Can anyone help me??
Cheers
Marff
nevermind, did a hard reset and the pda is working ok now, still doesnt want to connect to Activesync tho
when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway
best thing is to set activesync to not sync on usb devices let windows find the pda as a non as device and then flash
also if you change the extented rom as in config.txt and reflash you are likely to get a new extented rom and a new config.txt overwriting yours anyway
most of the time when you change extented rom a hardreset is what you want
Hi rudegar
I didnt get as far as reinstalling the OS with the modded config.txt, once I hard reset the pda after installing it the first time it worked ok, it installed the O2 extensions and worked fine, except MSN messenger wont work, where before it would.
i tried disabling what you said and windows wouldnt detect it at all.
With it enabled I could see it as a mobile device in my computer, but not access it.
Also the active sync window would not load, the taskbar icon is there, but when you click on it the window does not pop up, but you can get to the options
its annoying as I now cant install any programs onto the pda, I dont have a USB reader for the SD card at the moment.
not sure whats going on

really? cos the program I ran to upgrade the OS, himaupgradeUt says the pda should be docked and synced??
just installed activesync on my other pc and the pda syncs ok with it.
i let my almost-future son-in-law take home and play with my g4 wizard love wm6 cingular branded wizard.
he mailed it back to me and now it won't connect to activesync 4.5.
if i uncheck advanced settings on the usb settings page, the computer gives me the usb balloons that says it is connected to the computer.
activesync doesn't even want to look for the pda.
if i check the box, activesync tries to find the pda but fails.
also, the computer doesn't seem to connect to the computer since there are no usb balloons.
is there anything i can try short of reinstalling wizard love.
thanks
Plug it into the usb wire, turn it on and then do a hard reset do not unplug it till active sync pops up on your computer.

You havent mentioned what OS you have on your pc. If you have XP SP2 you can sometimes jumpstart activesync 4.5 by restarting the DHCP.
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools (only visible in classic view of control panel) -> Services -> DHCP client -> Restart

after the update to wm6 its ****ty both solution didn't work for me.
I hope some one get a solution

Same problem with me too..
all the sudden the activesync service in WM6 doesnt start at all..
ActiveSync on PC warns me there is a problem with the connection..
Is there anybody out there that knows how to get the ActiveSync service back and running again.? I tried the the taskmanager to look for the service itself. But found out that the activeSync service is nowhere to be found between the other services. 16 other services are found.
I tired it on Vista (Mobile 6.1) and Windows XP SP2 (Activesync 4.5)
It does not help when i start the program ActciveSync (application) in WM6.

I had the same problem one time after flashing to WM6. How I got it to work was to delete the old mobile device from my active sync, then connect the usb cable.
i've tried all the hints here but so far no connectivity to activesync.
did anyone get the pda seen by winxpsp2 any other way that worked.
i can get into boot loader but still no connection ro activesync.
thanks
Hi
in the begining , sorry for my poor langague

second point delete the old connection from the programe.then make a new connection between ur device & pc. it will work properly (in shaa allah)
try it & let me know

i uninstalled activesync and then rebooted, downloaded a new copy and reinstalled it.
the computer sees the pda through the rndis driver and says it's installed.
at the end of the install i got some kind of message about outlook not being the default email reader but i ignored it.
then i ran the basic outlook setup but did not make outlook the default mail client.
but active sync still refuses to connect to the computer to the pda.
any other thoughts.
later tonight or during the week i will try it on another xp computer and then a vista computer to see if one of them works.
Hey lissen folks.... any luck on finding the solution.... were u guys able to run the AS4.5 after removing the device? If yes, how do you remove the devioce?
I know its a problem with PC because i tried it on other PC with Win2000 and it worked fine. ANything to do with firewall perhaps?
Hello people,
As everyone knows, there are people who cant connect the new Roms with ActiveSync, for those who cant, we will post here the rigth ones.
Let´s go guys, let's do some work for us... and encourage the people to cook for us too!
The Roms tested:
BD's v5 (Blackdragon) - Thanks mkoch5 for test it.
Best Regards
have u tried this?
1. Keep the WM device connected.
2. Go to Start > Start Search.
3. Enter Device Manager or devmgmt.msc to launch the Device Manager window.
4. Look under the Network adapters node for Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter. If this is not present, skip to step 5. Otherwise, right-click Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter and choose to Uninstall.
5. Look under the Mobile Devices node for Microsoft USB Sync. If this is not present, skip to step 6. Otherwise, right-click Microsoft USB Sync and choose to Uninstall.
6. Disconnect and reconnect the WM device. The device driver for the PPC Phone will re-install and Windows Mobile Device Center will launch.

I tried the same ROM on a NIKI200 (the other one is a NIKI100) and Active Sync works perfectly
Someone knows where the difference is between 100 and 200 ?
I have same problem on my XDA Star too. On newer rom (Phoenix and latest Lilly) can not connect with activesync
hmmmmmm flashed the NIKI100 again ...and now it works with Activesync
and also in FAST Mode
Don´t know why ... but it works
