Vodafone v1240 ActiveSynch problem

[Guest tranzee]

I have been a Orange SPV C500 SmartPhone user for more than a year. It is a great phone as it does what is written on the tin. By having such a positive experience, I have switched to Vodafone because of some business reasons. And, I have a new Vodafone v1240 Smartphone. Wi-Fi, HiRes camera, bigger screen, so you might expect more from a v1240. Unfortunately, this is not the case. I have spent a whole day installing/uninstalling ActiveSynch on a brand new laptop and trying to connect the laptop to the v1240. It is a total failure.

My old SPV works even with the Vodafone's SW. But, v1240 is totally deaf (I lied, it charges through USB at least.)

Does anyone knows any solution?

Thanks,

Uninstall ActiveSync 4.0 and download 4.1 (or the 4.2 beta) - there were issues with ActiveSync 4 which shipped with most older Windows Mobile 5 devices..

This has notthing to do with the Vodafone devices - its a Microsoft issue with the way ActiveSync uses USB to connect to your device.

Please post your findings

Thanks a lot,

Currently, I am using version 4.1.0(Build 4841) comes with Vodafone v1240 companion disc. Interestingly my SPV C500 works with it without a problem, but v1240 does not!!

I will give a try for 4.2 Beta.

Also check your firewall -- if needed disable it for a moment and try ActiveSync.

Hi all,

I have solved the issue. I have F-Secure anti-virus application on my laptop. This application blocked the link, it caused some other problems on the laptop for printers as well. My IT angels re-installed and configured the application. The, everything has started working like a clockwork.
