Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with activesync. My device won't sync using the USB cable; however, it WILL sync correctly using the bluetooth connection!
On top of this, I'm *very* confused about the connection status. Why? When connecting via the USB cable:
- Activesync on my PDA says 'connected'
- Activesync on my desktop says 'connected' for a few seconds, but then disconnects right after!
- Activesync on my PDA *STILL* says connected, for hours! The 'sync button' is available too, but doesn't (visibly) do anything.
- The windows 'network connections' window says 'connected' too ("Local area connection 6" connected to "Windows Mobile-based device #4"). Don't ask me about the 'connection 6' or the 'device #4', I just have 1 of each :rolling:
During this very short connection, I *can* browse my PDA using the 'explore' button in ActiveSync. A window opens, and correctly shows my PDA contents. However, the window returns to blank white, once Activesync disconnects.
So, a lot seems to work, but why in the world does AS disconnect automatically?!
The problem occurs on both my work computer, as well as my home PC.
Here is some info on my setup.
Axim X51v, Rom version A12
Activesync version 4.2 (at home), 4.5beta (at work, after 4.2 stopped working at work).
WinXP-SP2
I did try removing the network connection in 'device manager' already, and plugging the cable into different USB ports, as some posts around the web suggest that a possible 'wrong' USB port might cause such behaviour. It didn't help...
Any help is appreciated!
