-PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD FOR SOLUTIONS AND UNLISTED PROBLEMS- Not COMPLAINTS!!!! A Complaint without a Solution is Worthless​

I definitely don't have any good answers to the age 'ol problem of connectivity issues with Activesync. I have been scouring the internet for hours and hours and hours trying everything and anything imaginable to get it working flawlessly. I haven't seen a Thread like this anywhere so I thought I would make one with easy, quick navigation to a system of solutions.

What I am running and have tested the following avenues on:

ROM Version: DCD 3.2.5​

Radio Version: 3.42.30​

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what all the different forums recommend:

- Reinstall Activesync- 4.5 is the most resent and, supposedly with the fewest bugs.​

- Restart both desktop/laptop and also soft reset the PPC​

- If you are running a Firewall, either:​

(a) Follow the instructions on this page to add ports to your firewall to allow communication with Activesync​

(b) Completely turn off your Firewall. "Not reccomended"​

- Some sites recommend that you turn off your antivirus to see if that helps. "Also not recommended"​

- Ensure that no other program is using the same port/ports that activesync also uses. Most of these programs are file sharing, remote login, and other similar programs. -If other programs do exist, either alter their ports or turn them off completely​

- On the PPC- toggle the "Enable advanced network functionality" on and off- located START->SETTINGS->CONNECTIONS->USB to PC​

- Opening Outlook. Some say this helps Activesync connect.​

- One far fetched idea is to continuously pull out and plug in the USB cord until it connects. If it still doesn't connect, restart PPC and try again.​

- Replace the USB cable and/or trying different USB ports on the computer​

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have done everything imaginable and I can't seem to get any kind of a reliable connection.

Here is a list of all the issues I have had:

~ Activesync connects and never syncs, arrows turning​

~ Activesync in the Sys Tray says connected- arrows stopped, but the program says connecting- arrows turning- Never connects​

~ Activesync connects, starts to sync- then suddenly disconnects and no longer recognizes the device​

~ Activesync tries to connect but says it cannot communicant with device- Runs troubleshooter and finds nothing wrong​

~ Windows identifies device as unknown and avtivesync does nothing- even searching for the device turns up nothing.​

Some of these issues are a hit an miss, but I am almost guaranteed to have one of the above problems every time I try to connect.

If anyone has any more ideas for me, that would be great! Please help spread the word of known fixes to the horrible world of Activesync.

I truly hope this helps everyone who reads it.
