Can't Stop the Syncing

Tryo · 08-09-05, 12:02 PM

I'm having a problem with my X30 and it's driving me nuts. Can anyone help? I set ActiveSync on my PC for manual syncing and I think I set the controls on the Axim itself, but it still syncs automatically. It syncs when I plug the device in and, even worse, it syncs every five minutes when the PC is on. What's going on here? I don't need that and I don't want it. Has anyone else had this problem? How common is it? And what do I do to stop it?

Thanks in advance.

You can change the settings so that it will only sync when you want it to. With your Axim connected, open up ActiveSync on your desktop. Click on Tools - Options - Schedule (tab) and make the necessary adjustments.

BTW, welcome to Aximsite!

Did you ..

Open ActiveSync and go to TOOLS > OPTIONS

select the Scedule Tab.

For when syncing with the PC, do manual. And at the bottom unckec "Sync outgoing items as they are sent"

Thanks to you both. I had already set the Schedule tab, though. I checked and everything's set correctly.

My Axim is still connecting every five minutes. It seems like it wants to go online to check my e-mail. Does that help? What am I missing?

You will have to disable the feature to check for new email automatically.

Thank you, Gigi. That did the trick. I knew that it was set to look for mail automatically, but I didn't realize it would do so when connected to the cradle. I thought it would only look while there was a wireless Internet connection.
