Axim X3 Synchronization

gwsnodgrass · 03-15-07, 12:22 PM

I have an Axim X3 and I am having trouble getting it to synch with my pc. It worked fine at my old job, but it won't work now. The PC wants to communicate with the X3, recognizes it when I plug it in, and tries to sync with it, but the X3 won't communicate back.

I have had messages that say "no partnerships established" "the connection failed due to missing server information or user credentials with an Error Code of DEV_9.

I have added ActiveSync to the firewall exceptions and still no luck. Under options the "When syncing remotely with a PC use this PC:" the drop down box is completely empty. The connection is set to USB default.

When syncing with a server "Use this server:" is completely empty. Log on credentials are completely blank, but I don't have any to set up on the PC.

The IT/computer tech guy is clueless too.

It seems to me the X3 has lost the driver or something else it needs to communicate with the PC, but I don't have anyway to get things onto the X3 since it won't sync with the computer.

I have done a hard reset, soft reset and the IT guy even tried to get it to work on a different computer, but got the same results.

Anyone have any suggestions? Is it fried? Everything else works fine; it just doesn't like to play with others.

At your old job where you worked,did it sync with an exchange server? The error code"DEV_9" is an exchange server error code. Chris De Herra's site explains it here....

I don't know but do all your work stations sync with a server? Is your home PC
set up for syncing with a server? From what I understand and I am no brainiac the error is generated from the PC side of the Active sync not the client side of exchange. My suggestion is to uninstall your AS on home PC and reinstall back and see if that fixes problem.
In regards to getting info to your pocket PC have you tried wireless networking? It has limitations (no PIM syncing) but it will allow you to exchange info from PC to PPC.
