Since I bought my Axis X50V this summer, I have been able to sync flawlessly (which was also true of the previous two Pocket PCs I had, btw). I was relying on 3.71, and then switched to 3.8. But, either way. Things were going fine. Then one day, I come in, and I can't get activesync to work. Sometimes it would connect, do nothing, and then break contact. Other times, it wouldn't even connect. And, then once in a blue moon, it would connect fine and sync. To make matters worse, I could get Activesync to work reliably on either my home or work PC (had partnerships on both).
The fix? I went into activesync on my Axim, clicked on Tools/Options/PC/Options/ and then I clicked "yes" for "Maintain connection" under "when syncing remotely."
Now, the darn thing is working fine.
So, color me confused.
