active sync acting up?

[omghermes]

Hey all, new to the forum.. great site with some great info! I currently own a hermes, and upgraded to wm6.. however, when i connect to active sync through my usb, it gives me this noise (regular usb connect sound doubled) and active sync cannot detect my device. Shortly after it just disconnects and goes to charging. I know this is not a usb port issue because i have tried all ports, connected my digital camera etc etc. What could be the problem? Any help is appreciated... because having 25% of my contacts is a pita!! lol :(

Are you using the USB cable that came with your phone?
I have many USB devices and find that some of the cables do not work due to the amount of pins that are connected at each end.
Also what version of OS do you use and activesync/WMDC?

I have same problem with WM6 and ActiveSync4.5. I'm using the same USB cable I was prior to upgrading to WM6 and never had any problems back then. Have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling AS but still no luck :(

Right now, I'm trying to find some other alternatives to AS which can sync Outlook contacts and calendar appointments etc.

Quick question, when you guys connect does activesync get stuck at Retrieving Settings????

I get problems with the actual syncing of information. The device is recognised and sync starts, it just takes ages and can fail sometimes.
Other days it syncs straight away without problems.

WM6 AUS ROM
Vista
WMDC 6.1
