Using 4.1, got Qtek Rom on a Vario. Been syncing fine for weeks, now...just says connecting. It must be my Vario as my E200 connects no probs and syncs up properly. Tried going back to 3.8 (yeah I know) 4.0 and re-installing 4.1 but it won't connect...any idead argh !?

Hi there,
What message do you get? Getting settings I suppose?
Disable the firewall and try again ( this helped me, while upgrading a Wizard of a friend!)
Good luck!

I had this problem too - was syncing just fine for weeks then all of a sudden nothing. Managed to narrow it down (unfortunately had to delete the as profile each time and start anew) and I can safely say that in my case at least it was due to the "Synchronised Files" feature. I decided not to use synchronised files (i.e. I unchecked "Files" under "Options") and now I have it syncing everything else perfectly - on two separate PCs with absolutely no more issues.

Hope this helps mate.

Did you install any firewall software? Do you have active firewall when running AS? Did you regedit your Wizard's registry in branches of AS?

Well at least you get some connection.

When I connect my KJAM I get the normal 'ding dong' and then NOTHING.

If I connect my old PDA2K to the same port it works fine!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help. I disabled my firewall (Kerio), reset the PC, did the other network hacks to try and get activesync to work. But it wouldn't.

But like I said my E200 (Voyager) sync'd no probs. Somehow as mentioned I think the registry got upset by some fiddling and a hard reset was the the cure then many hours getting it back to settings again, re-installing aps on mem card so I could see them on the phone as icons etc etc.

My device is a Vario with a Qtek Rom (tried K-Jam like the less stuff on the Qtek) with the extended Rom unlocked.

Didn't think to try this. I actually had this prob on my Magician (MDA compact) before I sold it. Should have remembered. Cheers.

Hello,

In fact activesync seems to be te culprit of most my 9100 problems and slowdowns.

I am currently using Activesync 4.1.4841 and when synchronizing with my Wizard everything seems to be working correctly for a first sync. Then I disconnect it from USB, wait a few seconds and try to sync again and it takes forever...slowing down the Pocket PC drastically (until soft-reset)...until returning a timeout message:

"Synchronization cannot be completed sucessfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync Troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer."

Any ideia how this might be solved?

Cheers,
Francisco Teixeira
