cant sync

[igord2]

hi ppl,
after the upgrade from 2003 to WM5, everything is ok but BA wont sync any more. It used to work fine with 2003, I bring it to my friend where we patched it, we didnt sync it there but his pc obviusly saw BA during the patching process.... When I brought it home my PC couldnt sync with BA any more.

When I put the BA in the cradly PC found it and let me explore the BA thru the active sync just like before but after that it report that he can not sync and that I recconect the device, after the reconnecting - same story. Exploring works ok all the time but syncing dont.

Im suspicious about the fact that PC didnt asked me about the new device after the wm5 patch and didnt asked me about the type of the partnership (you know guest and normal)...

Used to try without the firewall, didnt helped, and didnt know how to manage to connect it and sync it via the BT...

Any ideas regarding the syncing via the USB or if someone can me please explain BT sync process...

Can I sync it with the WIFI ad hoc wifi network ? how please ? That could help too maybe.

PC OS is XP SP2


Best regards !

try this...

make sure you have updated your activesync to the recent version. mine is 4.5

1. remove your BA from the cradle.
2. delete your mobile device profile in activesync.
(File-> Delete Mobile Device)
3. place your BA in the cradle
4. re-setup your mobile device.

ty active sync on the PC is 4.5...

tryed to reinstall it, deleted the folder, run registry cleaner, install it again and nothing changed...

Im suspicious that the problem is in BA, when I run active sync there it reports on some kind of info screen "to sync with the desktop computer, install Activesync on your computer and then connect this device. If your company support syncing directly with its exchange server blah blah"... Never saw this screen in the active sync on BA before...

It looked like PCs active sync before as far as I remember....

used to try to connect it with the BT, after the pairing with the PC BA shows the screen with the services that I want to use for that BT connection but the list is empty... Anyway they are paired in that moment (passkey passed)... When I click on the connect with the BT in the active sync on the BA it report that theres no BT paired devices in that moment and that I can pair if I want, I chooce PC on the next screen again but nothing happens...

sorry to hear that.
i guess if you're using BT to sync i cant help you with that.
i know there's a topic here somewhere about the BT Stack incompatibilities.

let's hope someone who had your error find his way into reading this. :D

looks like that PC cant read settings of the BA coz when syncing begins, PC report that he is retrieving settings but moment after that he report sync can not be completed succesfully....

Like theres some firewall in the BA which prevents pc from the reading of the settings.

Problem is solved, BA is upgraded to WM6.
