Guest whitfa Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Anyone know what issues/bugs this version resolves if any? I was hoping to see a facility whereby you can elect folder(s) on your pc to be automatically sync'd with your phone. :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest superflytnt Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Typically Microsoft it only says it contains the following: "ActiveSync 3.8 contains fixes making synchronization more trouble free than ever before and includes all the significant improvements brought to you in ActiveSync 3.5, 3.6, and 3.7.1: it is easy to install and use while offering the best levels of reliability." I have tried it and found it runs slightly faster to use, mainly when exploring your device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tsutton Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 What's New? Feature: Improved remote synchronization experience. Benefit: ActiveSync no longer blocks remote synchronization with dialog boxes that pop up on your desktop computer, so you can slide in the WLAN or wireless modem card and synchronize with your desktop computer anywhere you can access your network. Feature: Configure server synchronization settings from your PC. Benefit: ActiveSync can synchronize information on your desktop PC and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the information on your mobile device. This requires Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later. Feature: ActiveSync pass-through connection. Benefit: Enables you to use your USB cradle connection to pass through your desktop PC to access the Internet or a network with your mobile device. You can then perform tasks, such as browsing the Internet, or downloading IMAP/POP 3 e-mail messages. Feature: Improved USB support. Benefit: Windows 2000 USB driver issues in the previous version of ActiveSync have been fixed. Feature: More robust synchronization with Outlook. Benefit: Synchronization with Outlook is now more reliable and robust than before. Feature: Configure synchronization settings prior to first synchronization, including custom synchronization settings. Benefit: Enable all of the ActiveSync options you need in a single step.

Guest blowdart Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Feature: Improved remote synchronization experience. Benefit: ActiveSync no longer blocks remote synchronization with dialog boxes that pop up on your desktop computer, so you can slide in the WLAN or wireless modem card and synchronize with your desktop computer anywhere you can access your network. You still can't sync with a desktop. Looks like you must have Exchange installed somewhere. Is it so hard, in this age of DSL where desktops are left on at home to have syncing with my local, non-exchange connected version of outlook? Am I being stupid here, or is over the wire network sync just not doable with a smartphone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do a seach for it and then run it may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
