ActiveSync jumps out of nowhere on my Exec

[mobiler]

Just sitting in a restaurant, no wifi, not connected in anyway to anywhere.. and the Activesync shows up ?!?!? Writing the correct last time I synced my device (which was this morning at home). WTF is this?

go to activesync app on the ppc

create a server source

enter a totally fictitious name and address

follow the wizard, dont select any items to sync

set the period to sync as manual for both

finish the wizard

open the options

delete the new server source


the default setting is to auto start and sync, by creating the fictitious entry it allows you to change those settings

deleting the server source retains the sync period settings

Simon,

I have done this numerous times when I had the O2 ROM. Now I have the IMate ROM, it works if I am not connected to anything, so that is good, for that is what I want. One thing I notice when I am connected through WIFI, active sync application on my Exec still opens up on the background. Are you having the same experiences with this setup or am I missing a setting here?

my active sync doesnt auto start AS at all anymore if i set the server source to sync manually, then delete the server source.

i use wifi a lot and it also doesnt start it.

there could be other reasons such as programs you have that auto update from the web when wifi is running, eg SPB weather. again, i set this to update manually.

what other programs do you have that require or use an AS or WIFI connection?

I think you are right. I forgot about Pocket Weather's update settings. Thanks. :D
