Mobility Site - View Single Post - Device name (in Device ID) keeps changing

fclifton · 05-17-08, 12:58 PM

I have an Axim X51v running WM5. I recently got a new laptop running Vista. I am seeing a strange thing when I sync my X51v. I am syncing using USB. It appears that the Device name on the About | Device ID screen keeps getting changed from what i set it to (Franks_PDA) to generic name like WINDOWSMOBILExx where xx is a number. I still seem to be able to sync ok, I don't get asked to set up a new partnership. I wonder if my files are getting synced, since the laptop directory is based on the Device name. Also, it may be affecting my ability to connect via Bluetooth. Any suggestions or tips?
