Stopping activesync running.

[knowsleyroader]

Is there any way to stop activesync starting up on the wizard as it slows my device down. I stop it in memory programs running and then dont use it to connect to the pc again. Then when I check again later on its running again.

Any way to stop this ?

Ive had a search through the forums but couldnt find anything.

there is an easy solution. I have mentioned this on this forum several times, but here it is again:

In Active Sync on your device, go to menu-Configure server. Then put in a fake server address and leave all other settings as they are. tap next untill you come to the screen that asks which items you want to sync. uncheck all checkboxes that indicate which items are synced with the Exchange Server and finish the configuration. Then go to menu-schedule and set the sync options both to manual. Now Active Sync will not start automatically to try to make contact with an Exchange Server, which is the cause of the problem.

You forgot to mention after you setup the fake exchange server and set the options to manual.. after it times out attempting to connect to the server you can simply delete the server. The manual setting remains.. thus no more activesync in the background issue.

I tried mine, where it said 'Add Server Source', I create some address, but it didn't register. Everytime I tried Menu, it still ask for adding server source. Also, the Schedule option is not highlighted.

Anyhelp how to go about?

Thanks.

Yep. Although, you have to re-do it after every cold boot or soft-reset.

You have to fill out all the boxes, including "domain". Once a server has been added, the schedule option will no longer be greyed out.

hmm funny that, working sweet for me - are you using wm5torage 1.53 and following Koksie's instructions? I did not leave the username etc... blank but put fake stuff in there too, if that helps ;)
