After numerous upgrades and ROM restorations, ActiveSync effectively stopped working:
When I hooked up my 7500 to the USB, ActiveSync would start syncing but "never" actually finish. ActiveSync would say "Synchronizing" but not show any progress. Finally I let the program run ... and run ... and run. After 10 hours of running, I finally got an error message telling me that 13 appointments could not be synced.
I was able to track down each of the appointments and each appointment was defective. I corrected each appointment and tried ActiveSync again.
It took 3 cycles of 10 hour running time to finally purge or correct all my defective appointments, but now ActiveSync runs quickly and without problem.
Hopefully this will help in some instances.

ok i signed up for mail2web and at first it seems to work very well. for the first five mins after when i click sync on active sync any mail that is sent to my mail2web.com account gets pushed to my device. but after about 5 mins or so i tested again and i got nothing, first i checked to see if i accidntly shutt down activesync, it was so i turned it on again. later i checked if the activesync was on and it was, so i tested and still no email pushed to my device. i then clicked sync and all my emails came to my device then again for the next five mins or so i am able to get my emails but after that it just stops. im using pk 3.0 currently . can anyone help please.
i dont want to have to set my device to sync every 5 mins because that defeats the purpose of push email.
Did you setup your account correctly on your device? Server name, User name and password.
It must be the case that you don't have to click on anything to sync, that's why it's called push mail.
yeah i did, one of the problems is active sync doesnt stay connect . it stays connected for like 10 mins after that it just shows last synced time. if i didnt set up the server properly then the device wouldnt get any mail at all, but it does. when i sync with active sync it pushes mail for like 5 mins, after that it says connected but no mail is getting pushed through, then after 10 mins it disconnects all together.
when you have push mail you should not have to set a time interval, it should get pushed, in real time, to your device. i use mail2web with gmail and it works great
Hi,
After an upgrade (No2Chem 3.49 Radio 3.42.40) everything works really great!!! Except, I am having an issue with ActiveSync.
Intermittently, (sometimes every 3 seconds, sometimes every 10 minutes), a blank window covers the whole screen with a title of "ActiveSync" and an "ok" in the upper right corner. If I click ok, the ActiveSync main window appears. I believe everytime this happens, it is resending all of the email in my outbox and the message never gets removed from the outbox even though it is delivered to the recipient.
ActiveSync works fine with PC via USB and for all features besides the email. Also, SMS and Gmail correctly clear the inbox and send only the single email (this is what makes me think it is the ActiveSync).
TIA,
Brian.
I have seen that with the MR1 ROM while ActiveSync is doing its first sync with a large mailbox. (I've got a couple thousand messages from the past month that sync via Exchange.)
I've noticed intermittantly unreliable behavior of the Exchange mail client while it's still cranking away at the initial sync (failing to set message read flags server-side, to be specific).
Regardless, though, things worked fine for me after ActiveSync finished the big initial sync run.
Thanks Skywing,
That doesn't appear to be the case. I only have ~20 emails trying to sync. I did try re-flashing as well as reinstalling AS to no avail.
FYI to all --
I did just come across this thread on MS Mobile support forums...

It appears that this is an issue with Exchange 2007 and WM6.1. It looks like there is a hotfix that needs to be installed on the server side (which I don't have control over). There is a chance this isn't the issue, but it certainly sounds like all of the same symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no apparent client-side fix.

So every few days my Titan will default to the Atlantic time zone instead of Eastern time, thus making my time off 1 hour. Very irritating indeed! I've disabled automatic time updates however it's still changing by itself. Any ideas? I'm running DCD 3.2.6.
Maybe.
If you go to phone -> menu -> options -> Services -> time synchronizations -> Get Settings
If the setting is on to synch time to the mobile network, try to turn it off.
Maybe.
Thanks for the response, but from my original post: "I've disabled automatic time updates". That's clearly not the problem, as it's been disabled for quite some time.

Sorry, I'm blind.
When I read that I was thinking you meant the time update in activesync.
Can it be related to activesync?
As far as I know Activesync doesn't change system time automatically or otherwise for that matter?!? If it does please let me know.

Yes it can.
Sync the PDA.
Go to Activesync -> Tools -> Options
Select the PC name you are syncing with. Then select 'settings'. There is a check box for "sync date & time" there.
Actually, it does. I'm in Mexico city and AS will change the time zone for my mogul every time I sync to match the time zone on my PC. That stopped last week though; since we went out of (or is it into??) DST again this Sunday.
Older version of WinMo (i.e. 2003 and 5) made this change permanent, but I keep mine with auto time updates and it reverts back to the proper time when I turn the screen off and on again after the sync is finished.
Also, Outlook needs to be patched for proper sync to occur. Check this Microsoft article to correct the problem.
Let us know if this helped.
are you using garmin mobile xt? there was an issue of this happening, although it was strictly to 8:00 time change it might be something to look at .
Nope, I don't use Garmin XT, nor do I sync with my computer by plugging it in and using ActiveSync with a cable. Ever since I started using an Exchange Server I just sync the data that way. Strange thing is, the date hasn't had a random change in over a week now, while other weeks it would change on a daily basis. Bizarro!
Hello,
I was unsure of which thread category to post this, so I did a couple, Hacking and this ROM, sorry if this is misplaced. Correction and criticism welcomed.
Here is the issue...
Have a AT&T Fuze with the NRG v2.0 41609 ROM. Running MSO2007, specifically Outlook 2007 through Exchange on my company's network. I do not know what Exchange server version we are running.
On occasion, perhaps 1-2 times per day I must completely resync my Fuze contacts, calendar, etc, etc with Outlook 2007. Why? The "server" changed. Sorry, the error message I recently got and have gotten in the past essentially says the data on the server has changed and I must resync all of the data the Fuze. I do not recall the EXACT message. Bottom line though is nothing "changed" at least by me.
Also, under the Settings > Connections there is a "Edit my Proxy setting choice and it auto checks and completes an entry xxxxxxx.com for the server address. I have unchecked, rechecked, etc hoping this helps aovid this regular resync.
Lastly, the resync takes about 90 minutes given all of the contacts, calendar, email and if it did not take so long I would not fret about it.
So why and why might I change to avoid this.
Thanks in advance,

P.S. I search but frankly was uncertain what to put as search words to increase the applicable hits
Picture has been added.
I had the same problem often with my previious phone Motorola Q6h. However, I don't remember how I have dealt with it. Try to syncronize by bluetooth...
This is an old bug. It is across XP, Vista, Vista 64 bit, WM 5.0, 6.1 & 6.5.
There are a couple of alternatives. Most report that using BlueTooth solves the problem. Another option is to use Emoze, but that is not flawless either. My fix is less friendly, but has worked for me 100% of the time. I do this every time I flash a new ROM.
Do the following:
1) Hard Reset - I know, a pain.
2) Set Owner information
3) delete old partnership on PC
4) reboot PC
5) connect phone to PC and select default sync options. After initial sync, with the phone still connected, on the PC go to ActiveSync or WM Device Center and change your sync options to your own liking; 2 weeks of email, notes etc...
6) let it fully sync
7) after it does the second full sync (still first connection) disconnect the phone
8) On the phone, Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC> deselect "enable Faster transfer" or "Advanced Networking" depending on 6.5 or 6.1.
9) >OK - Soft reset
10) after phone comes back to life reconnect to PC and syncing should work fine.
I think the problem has to do with timing on the faster USB transfer rate. The PC is expecting a response and when the phone does not give it fast enough, it throws an error and you get to sync from scratch.
The only downside I have found for not having the faster transfer rate is it takes a bit longer to sync. That is why I like to change to my options (step 5) before I disconnect the first time. The big transfer is faster. After that it is just updates, so speed is not as important.
The only other down side is that if you own a RedFly, it requires the Advanced Connection which screws up your activesync. But the RedFly does not work well with the Touch Pro anyway and not at all with WM 6.5.
Hopefully this will work for you.

90 Mins for a sync? Crap... Do you have a large number of contacts (how many), or calandar items, or email? THe most mine has ever taken is about 2 minutes to do its initial sync OTA, not on a PC.
Are you syncing OTA or connecting to on a PC?
Guys, thanks of the help on the ActiveSync issue. I fashed a new NRG ROM and so far all is ok with thew sync. I do have some other OCD items that I am working on, like all blue highlights, blue / black Tachi phone, getting HTC Blue.task to be blue, EzInput 2.0 FULL (vs. compact) with arrows and blue character key press, etc, etc so so far no AS issues.
As far as how much stuff I have?
1600 contacts
2500 calendar items
100 emails (only Ocutlook IN and OUT boxes)
Again thanks.
If you have nay insight on the other items, please PM or post.
Best,

i found a fix that works almost flawlessly. i get this problem maybe once a week and it's a pain in the ass.
go into activesync settings (when not connected) through your phone. uncheck email (hit yes if it promts you for deleting emails, etc). Re-check, connect, re-sync. That usually does it for me. If not, try syncing after deleting emails and then disconnecting, checking emails again then resyncing.
hope it works for you guys too!!
So here is the thing. From time to time, mostly hour by hour, my Leo connects with internet and changes time one hour forward. Always, after I notice the change I turn the clock back, but it's not a solution. And one more thing, after that, in task manager, activesync is always present. I tried to decline Location service, tweaking the registry as advised few weeks ago on xda main page. I seroiusly need help in disableing activesync, because it really gets on my nerve. I have a data plan from my operator, but those constant time changes are annoying and confuseing sometimes (especcialy in the morning). Thank You for the solution (if there is any) in advance
as for time changes you'll find few threads on disabling the GSM time sync, also check in Settings / Data services if the internet time sync is disabled
for ActiveSync check here
