AvantGo Problems

[dadarkmcse]

Ok, I have never had problems on my imate with AvantGo until the last hard reset - now (eventhough the software shows its synced up), the AvantGo default screen keeps coming up from Internet Explorer and the AvantGo connection options do not appear in control panel.

Anyone know of any way to "reset" AvantGo in WM2003?

Thanks,
Jon.

This problem has been discussed elsewhere (can't find the link at the moment). It is a known "feature" of AvantGo.

Basically, you need to sync with AvantGo once with the default 'anon<longNumber>' user name. This will trigger ActiveSync to re-transmit some DLLs and other files to your imate.

People recommended a sequence of removing the AvantGo user settings in ActiveSync, disabling/enabling AvantGo in ActiveSync, doing a soft reset. However, this never worked for me, so I can't give exact directions. I ended up re-installing ActiveSync after doing a hard reset to my XDA II.

Just managed to get my AVANTGO to work using tadzio's suggestion :D :D :D below are the steps I took

On PC open activesync selsct avantgo and click settings.
selsect the correct server profile and click properties
delete the user account details and click OK
click close
click OK

Activesynch will now sync and avantgo will copy the dlls to your device and will create the avantgo connections in settings connections if you did not have it already.

Now repeat the steps above but enter your avantgo user details and sync again to get your avantgo content

Thanks VERY much for that, I've been having problems for the last 2 days with AvantGo, I've reinstalled, resetup... bla bla bla.... but always had my user details in when doing a sync... After Del my user details all works 100%....


GREAT WORK GUYS...


Thanks for the info :-)

a couple of months back i brought up a topic where i was experiencing problems with avantgo...namely i would always get a runout error when activesync tried to get the pages from the website. a helpful chap said it had something to do with my connection on a proxy server; this was true because our company does indeed use this type.

with that in mind; is there an app where you can sync the page directly to the xda? example; if i'm looking at the frontpage / homepage of cnn is there an app which will grab that entire page so as i can read it on the xda later?

cheers
