Has anyone found a way to disable the auto syncing "Bug" in active sync. Old versions could be set to only sync manually. but Microsoft crippled active sync by disabling this option.
I really hate the fact that if I connect my Smartphone to my PC for charging, copying files or installing software it insists on attempting to sync every 5 minutes.
This usually results in the file copying failing, or at best slowing it down. I only want to sync the phone every day or two, certainly not every five minutes.
The best option I can find is to only create a guest partnership and not sync anything from my windows PC - I also have a MAC and use Missing Sync to sync Contacts, Appointments, Files, Music, Pictures and SMS/call logs - much better than what Microsofts crappy active sync application can do.
Missinc Sync also remembers my custom ringtones on contacts, which I loose if Active sync decides to completely re-sync my phone - this usually happens if I remove my phone whilst it is syncing - because I picked it up to answer a call whilst it was doing another totally unwanted sync :(
