Guest randomelements Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I know a number of people have been reporting problems with ActiveSync dropping off the connection to the phone etc. so it might be worth a having a go with 4.5 Beta 2 (see Bink.nu here) As he says: Changes in ActiveSync 4.5 Beta 2 help resolve issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange For all those "bleeding edgers" out there. Cheers, Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr Who Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wow that was fast. Wasn't 4.2 just in beta like 6 weeks ago? Its because async is always cack I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Note, installing the 4.5 beta will blat your 'add-remove programs' menu on the machine you install it on. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pethen Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I've read that Activesync 4.5 reintroduces wireless synching over WLAN. I can't test at the moment...can anyone confirm? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fantastic_mr_q Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 For all those people having problems with ACTIVESYNC just go into USB settings and switch off extended functionality, Makes it quicker, more relliable, and it never freezes out! Also WM5TORAGE works too!! YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pompey Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 This is brilliant. It has completely solved the issue I was having of activesync crashing when trying to sync the calendar between two PCs. All my calendar items from my work PC would sync fine, but as soon as I repeated the excercise at home it would sync 50 items and then activesync would crash so I would be forced to uncheck calendar in the options and go without. Compared to Palm's Hotsync, Activesync is still a pile of poop, but at least they're getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Don't seem to have a problem here. Add/Remove programs seems OK, the entry is in place and the icon updated for it. Whag sort of "blatting" have you seen?

Guest J273 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) So is it possible to sync over WLAN now then?.....I see the option in activesync to enable this.....but nothing from the phone is there some sort of registry edit to enable this with the handset?

Guest unfitguy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 have too spotted the "allow wireless connections on device when connected on the desktop" does this mean we should be able to do a wifi sync or is it something completely different Cheers unfitguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
