Do you hear the usual "bing bong" type noise that Windows makes when a USB device is plugged in?

Does ActiveSync on the desktop even start up?

If so, on your PC goto Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. When you plug the PDA in, does a new connection profile eventually show up in the Network Connections window? It will be called something like Local Connection #6 or something similar, I've renamed mine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wireframebox:
Yes everything connects and establishes a connection. I can browse the device and even upload to and from it. Active sync even tries to sync with the device, but then shows the error detailed above. The XDA was able to upload my contacts to outlook for example after the re-install of windows, but nothing is synced from the desktop pc to the xda.

See the Microsoft Knowledge base..........

............there's something I remember when I had this prob.

For me, it was ZoneAlarm firewall [free edition] which doesn't allow individual ports to be configured, just application rules [you can in Pro version] but in my research, I remember seeing something about Activesync not working even though the exception was set in Windows Firewall.

Try with NO firewall at all - probably best to pull your network cable if you're worried whilst you test ActiveSync with no firewall at all.

I'm sorry I can't post the reference but you should be able to find it again.

I now don't use any s/w firewall - I have a switch router with hardware router built in which shows as 'stealthed' to the outside world on all ports @ www.grc.com [ShieldsUp] and all my WM5 stuff works - ActiveSync and WiFi

I didn't get the error you did, mine just connected then hung whilst showing 'Syncronising'............'cept it never did !!! LOL but I could do all the other things as you describe....just no syncing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wireframebox:
Thanks for the reply. I have already tried without a firewall enabled at all but with no luck. I am trying to work out what is different with this installation tot he previous that worked.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wireframebox:
I have found that I need to dissable the Sync of my contacts and it works with the Caldener etc. I have no idea why this is, but its the only solution I can find anywhere and its very frustrating. :roll:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Keitaro:
That's a weird one, not be able to sync contacts but can do calendar events.

Have you tried a reinstall of outlook?

If so then, and this is just a guess, it could be that there is something wrong with a particular contact entry that's causing things to go wrong. Perhaps some invalid characters in any one of the many available fields (name, num, email address, website, notes etc).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] apprentice:
Some solutions that worked for me

I had the problem with contacts not syncing when everything else would. My solution, which worked for me, was to:

1. disable 'contacts' in ActivSync options

2. sync as normal

3. disconnect device, reconnect device, sync again

4. re-enable 'contacts' in ActivSync options

5. contacts should now re-sync

Incidentally I found many problems with the ActiveSync partnership after restoring the device from a backup. The solution is to delete everything in the \Windows\ActiveSync folder on the pocket PC, go into ActiveSync options on the pocket pc and remove the partnership there. Finally delete the partnership on your PC.

I am running V-Com systemsuite on my PC (which I think uses the Sygate firewall) this firewall never interferes with my XDA Exec but oddly enough does so with my XDA mini S. If I disable the firewall - problem still exists. If I shut down the firewall completely (keeping Windows XP firewall running for security) the problem goes away.

Maybe some of this will help

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Keitaro:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KlickKluck:
Re: Some solutions that worked for me

First of all you have to open some ports in the sygate firewall: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/sygate.mspx

In my experience it's necessary to change the RNDIS driver settings in the mobile phones registry as well!

Use a regedit tool like PHM Registry Editor.

Here are the settings to be added (or to be changed respectively):

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RNDIS

Name of the Value to add: MTU

Type : DWORD

Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)

Name of Value to add: MaxOutTransfer

Type: DWORD

Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)

After a reset my Prophet (XDA Neo) synchronized well with active sygate firewall!

I'm proud to say I'm a very happy owner of speed demon that is of LG G2. I've been reading forums and rolling my eyes each time I each a person complain of lag, microsutter, whatever you guys call it.

My phone is a Verizon 32 gb version. My G2 is not rooted. running full bore stock with none of the bloatware disabled. I have not made a single effort to optimize it at all. The G2 is loaded with every apps, movies, music, and pdfs until it ran out of storage. My home screen got all kinds of active widget running. Chrome browser got 20 tabs open. Gallery is always open and on standby. There are around 200mb of ram available after all is said and done.

Normally that would make users of lesser phone cringe as their phone screech to a crawl. After putting the G2 through the wringer personally, I have not noticed any slow down, any lag or so called microsutter. So my point being.. I don't get it at all when people cry foul at the slightest of hesitation.

People of G2, don't be afraid to load up all kinds of data, apps, whatnot! G2 will take it and ask for more! The LG G2 is fast as ever!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] badfelafel:
Was all set to buy a Note 8 but the Asus Vivotab 8 has caught my eye, looks pretty good. And I love Win 8.1. Really!

Big thing for me is the pen of course, and being able to circle from one document and paste into another (eg multi windows side by side). Not certain how OneNote or the Vivotab will be with that, but of course the Galaxy handles that brilliantly. Big plus for Samsung... should do what it says on the tin.

What puts me off is the thought that there might be something new from Samsung about to come along... an improved Note 8? Tempted to hold off!

If anyone has compared the 2 side by side and can offer an opinion I'd be really grateful!

Thx

Well I chose the Note 8.0 because I could get em new at low cost. Thought about the Venu Pro 8.0 but tired of MS. I don't think I'll ever go beyond my Windows 7 X64, until Ubuntu gets better. Maybe I am harsh on Linux but I could never get it to run right with the hardware I got. Geezo it is about 10 years old, and I can't believe Windows is the only stable OS that runs decent. Well put that as a plus for your 8.1 purchase.

If SuperSu does not ask you for root privileges, then there might be some issues with your root. Have you tried to install the latest update? I had the same issue right after root, the default SuperSu app did not work so what I did was flashing the latest SuperSu app via Recovery and it worked.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
Always make a backup before doing anything to your system. You never know what might go wrong. You can backup using nandroid or your custom recovery.

Regarding you SuperSU issue, make sure you answer "No" when your custom recovery asks you fix root (unless specified by the rooting procedure - philz touch recovery when rooting Russian firmware i9500 4.4.2).

Moreover, you can download an app to check if you lost your root privileges. If you did lose it, root your system again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
you can use titanium backup but that needs root. uninstall Super SU and install it from the play store. The app will detect if its activity is hindered by KNOX.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
First, make sure that your are, indeed, rooted. Uninstall Super SU in Applications Manager in your Settings. Install again from play store.

I recently installed CyanogenMod 11 on my S3 about a month ago. Yesterday, I got a notification on my phone stating that an update was available for CyanogenMod. I let it install and when the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the bootloader for at least an hour or two. I figured that I must've bricked the phone. I can still get into recovery mode and download mode.

So, I tried to reinstall the stock AT&T GS3 ROM as I had never particularly liked CyanogenMod. I thought this would be a great time to reinstall the stock ROM. I factory reset the phone and flashed the stock ROM (which I downloaded from another thread) using Odin. It automatically rebooted, the Samsung logo flashed for a second and the CyanogenMod bootloader showed up and it has not gone away since. So, what have I done wrong here and is there a way to save my phone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Where did you get the ROM you flashed? Did your phone have the 4.3 bootloader? What about Knox?

If your phone has the 4.3 bootloader, you cannot flash the 4.3 ROM via Odin as it was never released as a complete ROM, only as an update. THis might help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
