Its #1.. The stupid application pops up every time you login or switch profiles. The option you speak of affects the popup ONLY when the device connects, which doesn't have any affect on this problem.

I proclaim this a "feature". Basically there is no solution to this.. *sigh*.. I guess, depending on how annoyed i get with it, I will just start using my phone as a USB drive instead of synching and remove activesync.

@outerdepth, i'll PM you the script to have the g/f run in the background ;)

Are You Using Firewall

My Zone Alarm wont let me sync since I put 6.1 (I have rickys v22) but I think the prob started when I had kavannas. Try turning off firewall (if you have one) and see if it syncs
[HTC Excalibur] dilfatx:
Tried it and I still can't get it to sync on anything.. i can browse the files.. it tells me an error that says it was stopped by my computer..i have no programs open..firewall turned off and still no work.
[HTC Excalibur] lukybandit:
Honestly, you will find this funny but it's your firewall. Believe me, I went through the same hell and eventually I had to do lots of research to get it going. You have to open ports so Active Sync can recognize it. Try that - That's your best bet. I don't have those ports number but it is somewhere on google. Just google Active Sync and Windows Vista issue or something - Good Luck :)
[HTC Excalibur] choekstr:
I am running Vista Ultimate and have no issues sync'ing. Of course I must remove any old pairings and it seems can only have one pairing at a time but in general I have no issues with syncing. I am also using 6.1 Mobile Device Center.

Now for the good stuff: In my FW rules I have a "Windows Mobile-based Device Connectivity" option that is turned on. The description states:

It sounds like there IS something to this. You might want to check it and ensure it is allowed. I didn't have to do anything at all with my FW settings but maybe particular versions of Vista require manual setting of this?

Hope this helps,

Chris

STUMPED and FRUSTRATED! Kavana flashed, active sync stopped--help please

My hubby's Dash is running the Kavana rom, and he LOVES it, however, his clock seems to lose about a minute every hour (time is off by another minute with each passing hour). I've searched this forum and found things on battery drain, etc, but nothing about time drain.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm used to working with my Wizard, so for the Dash I'm pretty much a n00b. If someone can point me in the right direction I can make whatever mods, but just am not so sure where to look on this particular device.

Thanks in advance for your input.
[HTC Excalibur] thedoctor1:
try enabling auto update...it usually defaulted as off when u flash the rom... that should do the trick ..o and also set the time zone..try that
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
Much appreciated, thanks.

My husband is currently at work, but as soon as he gets home I will try that.

Thank you for the speedy response and kind assistance. As I said, give me a Wizard and I can do a whole lot...the Dash...never used it, so I wasn't even sure what it could/could not do.

Last question...

I am assuming auto update will be in the settings (much like my Wizard). The rom that my hubby has, is the DST fixed or will I need to set the registry to show it properly.

Again, thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] thedoctor1:
yes.. settings--->clock and alalarm

what version rom he has (asuming ricky) or which verison 6.1 or wm6 or 5

also if in settings its already enabled ..then try the unable option..this worked

for me when i had the same problem..
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
Thread-jacking My Own Thread

First thank you. I will try your suggestions.

Secondly, we cannot get M$ active sync to read my hubby's Dash. I went thru settings/connections and un-checked advanced. I tried to initiate via the device/active sync. Links in other threads I found discussing this, lead to a 404 page. Am I missing something?

The device has the 6.1 Kavana 080408 rom on it.

Since flashing it, the rom is fast and stable, but active sync is not recognized in any way on the Dash now...have tried using multiple pc's.
[HTC Excalibur] thedoctor1:
are you using the lastest version of active sync? (4.5)

and when you connect the dash do u see that little "charging symbol" at the top right corner?

my best guess would be to reinstall active sync...:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
I have the most recent activesync, the plug shows as charging, but none of my pc's recognize the device as even being connected.

I have cleared user, changed both Dash and desktop activesync settings, and am just stumped now...not sure what else I can do. It connected just fine prior to flashing the new rom.

again, thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
Aauurrgghh!!!

I tried hard resetting, and still no connection. Is something perhaps missing in the rom that may be causing this glitch?

My hubby loves this rom otherwise, but we cannot get active sync to recognize, despite several tips in other threads.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
Please....help.

Ok, here is the list of what I have done--

Used different pc's/laptops running WinXP

Uninstalled/reinstalled latest M$ A.Sync on said pc's

Checked/unchecked advanced configs in settings.

checked/unchecked charge via usb

Deleted user in A. Sync

tried initiating sync from device

tried using BT Dongle, connecting via BT

Hard resetting device

I may have missed something I tried, but if you scroll thru this thread it may be listed. I cannot get any pc/laptop to recognize that the device is plugged in. A. Sync will not engage.

Does anyone have any ideas that may help me? This was not an issue prior to flashing the Kavana rom. My husband loves the rom, but the A. Sync issue is not good. Please, any help???

Thanks in advance your your input!!

Disable any anti-virus/firewall applications you are running on your PC, then retry.
[HTC Excalibur] serialtoon:
Active Sync only works on Windows XP. Not on Vista for some reason. Ive tried about 3 different XP machines, all work fine. I then went and tried it on 6 (yes SIX!) Vista machines, ranging from Ultimate 64-Bit down to Basic...same thing. It just wont work. By the way, Ive tried 3 different phones as well (All Dash's) and no dice in the same scenario. I'm stumped and i need help getting this damn thing to work under Vista, i have a suspicion it has to do with the Mobile Active Sync thing Vista comes installed with.
[HTC Excalibur] :
I don't use Windows. The Vista 32-bit home premium install that came with my computer sits, collecting cobwebs on an unused hard drive. But I'm running WM6.1 (Ricky v23) and I haven't had trouble using the Device Center (separate install) to sync contacts with the trial of outlook I had to install.

I don't have to sync stuff so my trips to windows are rare. I was using a USB cable, not bluetooth. But I don't understand where all the problems are coming from.
[HTC Excalibur] tlogix:
I also have this problem on two of my Vista machines. Must fiddle around before getting it to work then repeat the next time.

Make sur you use a thick USB cable not the cheap one like the ones usually provided with the digital cameras.

Make sure that Windows Mobile Device Center is openned when you connect your device.

If you have PIN set on your phone and the device doesn't have the partnership, wait for a few secs(minutes) before it pops the question: Do you want to unlock your phone. Sometimes this windows is poped up in the background. Even if you already has the partnership, wait a bit before disconnect and reconnect the device: sometimes it very long.
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
firewall not the cause either

I have also tried with and without my firewall, still no go.

Normally not having a. sync isn't an issue, but there were a few apps my hubby needed installed, and we cannot do it without a. sync (not in cab form...and he lost his micro sd adaptor).

I am sure it is probably an easy fix and I'll end up having a V8 moment, but for now, I seem to be brain-farting and totalling missing what I need to do to get this device/rom to sync with ANY pc.

Again thanks in advance for your suggestions.
[HTC Excalibur] akashastrega:
can I force a bootloader screen and reflash that way?

on my wizard, when active sync didn't work I was still able to flash a rom in that manner...so does anyone know if the Dash can be done this way as well?

this may be my last best hope.

thanks

if you what to flash your phone take out the battary put back in hold sym button plug the usb then flash you oragianl phones rom
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
I know this is not the answer you're looking for, more of a small band-aid fix. If you do have an .exe that you have to run on your PC. usually the .cab that is send to your phone for installation is located in the C:/program files/(whatever program you installed)/.cab file .... ex: C:/program files/konami/timepilot/timeplt2077.cab ... in this case the timeplt.cab is the file you can copy and paste into your phone or transfer in any other feasable way you can. Once again this is not a fix, merely a band-aid to get the app you want on your or your hubby's device
[HTC Excalibur] hawaiirr:
I wanted to share what i am going thur. I couldn't sync my Dash as well after reflashing it. but then I switched the mini USB cable and it worked. I think there is some difference in pins inside the cables.
[HTC Excalibur] :
Keeping phone from loading ActiveSync

If there's a setting for this I haven't been able to find it. Is there a way to keep Windows Mobile from loading the ActiveSync application? It's so seldom that I need it (I don't even run Windows) that it would be nice to save some memory by not having it load by default.
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
not that i know of. Although you can have it set to not sync.
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
if you're referring to it in your task manager when you finish a soft-reset, It has to do with two things ( and i dont know why, i just know from personal experience) 1. the auto-time , time-zone setting being turned on. 2. notifications in your cache, (which need to be cleared out via sktools)
[HTC Excalibur] :
Thanks. That makes sense.

File Transfer Via Activesync stopped working

This is really weird, today I am trying to copy a .cab file from PC to my dash running 080408. I have done this many times without any problem but today when I select a file and drag it to the mobile device I get a not allowed icon, the black O with / in the middle as if it's not compatible. I have already deleted the partnerships from PC and the 620, rebooted both devices and tried again with no luck.

I can drag files on my 620 to the PC just not the other way around.

Anyone have any ideas?

[HTC Excalibur] germansak:

Failure of ActiveSync with 2 PC's using Kavanna 6.1

Hi to all,

I love the Kavanna 6.1 and it runs flawlessly except when I try and sync to both my machine at work and my other at home.

I use my phone to carry my business calendar appointments so this is a big thing to me.

Activesync did work with both 5.0 and 6.0 (T-Mobile ROM's) for both machines but now gives me an error every time. I work around this by "Delete mobile device" before I sync. I have to do this each time I connect to either machine. Which means twice a day.

After that, the syncing works fine. It isn't that big a deal, but it would be nice to find a solution.

Anybody out there come up with any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

shortcut to activesync via bluetooth

I was wondering if there is a command, shortcut, or script I can use to start ActiveSync via bluetooth.

Also on a side note how do you guys get a list of arguments for a wm program?

example:

"camera.exe" /v:?

starts in video mode instead of camera.

I loaded Ricky's version of the Kavan upgrade and all went well. I have 2 dashes, both were identical. One upgraded.

Now I can still sync my old WM 6.0 dash, no issues, but I cannot sync my 6.1. it errors with "connecting" ... fora long time then "could not connect to the mobile device" .. then I click to troubleshoot and it says: "unable to establish a connection between the pc and the device."

Need Help! ActiveSync won't sync up after Kavanna upgrade.. =[

I'm having trouble syncing my cpu to my phone after I upgraded to Kavanna 6.1. :mad:

I've tried everything from un-installing and re-installing ActiveSync with and without the phone plugged in to trying a new USB cable and a different USB port..I even tried installing Windows Mobile Device Center on my other laptop that's running Vista and still nothing.

After I un-install and re-install ActiveSync on my XP laptop the computer recognizes the phone and installs the necessary drivers but when I open ActiveSync I get the error message "ActiveSync cannot connect to the Windows Mobile Powered device. To trouble shoot the problem, click ok". I proceed to troubleshoot the problem but nothing it suggests works for me.

Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. This is getting very frustrating. :confused:

two possibilities

Two possibilities have been discussed before:

1. there are 2 USB options on your phone:

Enable Advanced network option​

Allow battery charging​

if you enable advanced network option, your phone will not be able to connect from time to time. trying uncheck the box.

2. there is a mis-aligned pin in the mini usb connector. try using a different usb cable.

Hope that solve your problem.
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:

activesync issue

Hi

I hooked up my phone to comp, and its saying it sync but my outlook contacts are not updating and neither is my calendar.

I checked the settings on activesync and they're checked

any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Are you running windows XP or Vista?
[HTC Excalibur] hawee:
I'm on XP, can't figure out why my contact and calendar aren't updating

could it be cause im also sync to an exchange?

Yah that is the problem, I was going to ask you if you were synced to exchange.
[HTC Excalibur] hawee:
any way i can disable exchange? and sync to outlook?

also i always wondered

so if i sync my phone to outlook will my phone replace the info on outlook or will outlook replace the info on my phone

ie. if i have a contact for John Smith on my phone and not on my outlook. Will it add it to outlook or delete it from my phone?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmatavka:
Hi all.

So, I have this Nexus 5 with what I thought was a broken screen. It isn't; it's actually damage to the motherboard video output. This was given to me by a friend to salvage somehow and I don't want to disappoint him. I want to either clone the phone (backup and restore) or download the saved stuff in some form.

Only the screen is affected. The phone takes calls with no problem and it works all right otherwise. It even hooks up to the computer and I can see all sorts of files... including *cough* femdom porn *cough*. The problem is that the phone is not rooted and USB debugging isn't enabled, so there's no way to get into the ADB shell so that I can do my thing.

Is there a way to backup and restore from, let's say, fastboot? Contacts, user names, etc? If not, is there a way to enable USB debugging without access to screen?
