Wifi Activesync

[Guest mcolbeck]

Just Ordered my XDA IQ and was reading a review and it says you can't sync over wifi is this correct?

Is there anyway of changing this or any software that will do this for you?

I have heard this as well, but sure it is possible because you can sync over bluetooth

According to Microsoft they have not enabled activesync via Wi-Fi due to possible security issues. :rolleyes:

Hi there

Unfortunaly WiFi synchronization is not possible with WM5. Its gone in ActiveSync v4.0 and upwards. :rolleyes:

If you're interested you can read the ActiveSync 4.0: No More WiFi Sync, Syncing WM5 over WIFI?, So near yet so far... and WiFi Debugging articles.

You can however still use Bluetooth to synchronize <_<

You can activesync over wifi with an exchange server - and I read somewhere there is a workaround to sync over wifi with outlook - but its complicated and not advised unless you are proficient and confident with network settings etc.

I have actually managed to get my M600 to sync to an exchange server using wifi but it only does this when you sync manually.

The scheduled syncs always make a gprs connection even though the device has an active wifi connection. :rolleyes:

If I move the phone to an area with no network coverage (but still with an active wifi connection) it refuses to sync off the schedule saying there is no cellular connection available.

Is there a way to make the scheduled sync use the wifi connection when present rather than using gprs??
