Active Sync Nightmare!

[so3]

I am having real problems with Microsoft’s Active Sync 3.8.

Both on my laptop at home and on my pc at work.

I have lost count the number of times it fails to recognise the partnership and I have to recreate it! When it does, if forgets which PC the partnership was on and won’t let me connect to both!

Now it won’t sync the calendar for some reason!

I have tried to uninstall it and re-install wit no joy. I have tried Microsoft :evil: I have tried their newsgroups :roll:

I am wary about trying 4.1 :oops: ?

The only alternatives seem to rely on a version of AS to start with, but are there any other programmes, that don't rely on active sync and that work better?

I'm running 4.1 very sucessfully. Granted I've got a Himalaya, not a Magician.

Why not give 4.1 a try ... see if it works for you. If it doesn't, you can always uninstall and try something else.

I too would love to see something besides MS AS available - but haven't found anything thus far

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

So very sadly active sync 4.1 has not solved the problem!

Now i don't know which way to turn.

1.Could it be a problem with my PC at work or Laptop at home, if so do rebuild them both?

2.Could it be problem with active sync (version), therefore I don't know who to contact at Microsoft!

3.Could it be a problem witht he device its self, therefore is it HTC I contact, again!

A final though is to return this back to T-Mobile, ha ha!

so3,

did you start off using the Magician with ActiveSync 3.8? Maybe trying an older version would work:
