I have found the cure for the activesync turning on the axim automatically in WM5

I dunno if this solution has been brought up before:

This was an issue with my old Toshiba e800 and so I tried the same thing with my x51v. All you need to do to prevent activesync from automatically turning on your axim is:

If you just want to charge the axim:
1. insert axim in cradle
2. quickly turn off axim before activesync connects.

If you waited for activesync to connect and then turn the PPC off, it will turn on again after a few min.

If you want activesync to stay off after you have finished syncing:

1. Turn off axim while in cradle
2. Turn on axim and quickly turn it off again before activesync connects.

Please give me some feedback. So far, my axim has been sitting for over 30 min and hasn't turn back on.

I thought the turning on was by design... but hey! your method works!

Yea it works. I left axim in the cradle for >3 hrs and didn't turn on.

Just wanted to check, but have you tried changing the settings under schedule to manual?

No, I didn't do that. Does that work also?

Yes- the standard setting has the desktop and Axim syncing every 5 minutes, which causes the Axim to turn on.

Schedule menu is always disable for me... Is there something special I need to do to enable it?

There used to be a registry edit that allowed you to change it so it doesn't turn on unless you tell it to.

I can't find it in the search though.

MS seems to have decided that you don't need to change the scheduled connections unless you are syncing with a server, even though it uses the settings for regular desktop connections too. If you add a dummy server and cancel out of its initial attempt to contact it, you can then get into the schedule settings. Change them to manual and then you can remove the dummy server that you added.

How do you do that? I am new to PPC and not very techie so dummy language would really be appreciated :love:

Well, that sure works! Wonder why I didn't think of that?

I just disable/enable the network connection active sync creates works fine too.

I can still turn on the axim to quickly check some info and turn it of again.

Your welcome. I think this method is easier than going through registry and stuff to change settings....

Thank you, worked great :)
