I used a ROM that would auto accept Exchange Policies when attempting to Synchronize for the first time, no need to click OK to allow this to happen. I have figured it out to be an entry in the registry for a HTC service

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\HTCAP]
"PolicyToastAccepted"=dword:00000001
"Prefix"="HAP"
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Order"=dword:00000009
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Context"=dword:00000001
"DisplayName"="HTC Application Service"
"Description"="HTC Application Service"
"Dll"="HTCApplication.dll"

The thing is I've tried to use UC to put this registry entry there, which it does and to copy two files HTCApplication.dll and HTCApplication.dll.0409.mui, with that tweak it's hit or miss, haven't quite figured out why it misses sometimes yet. I think that this service needs to be activated BEFORE exchange is configured... problem is, my UC does all of it and doesn't give the service a change to start

I would like to reuqest for builders to start putting this into their ROM, it would be a simple yet elegant feature to have...

Thank you for your time

when you run active Sync the first time to sync to an exchange server it innforms the user that they have to accept the policy being pushed down from the Exhange server before you can sync information. adding this will, hopefullu, auto accept the policies. see attached

i will add it and u can try if u want

thank you for looking into this, I used a ROM that had it and the next release it did not

My suggestion would be to try to include everything in your UC setup as possible.

I would imagine that if you were to use UC to completely shut of the radio as the first task or line item in your UC script, then this will probably work with 100% reliability.

EXEC:\Internal Storage\RadioControl.exe -radiooff
 
<insert lots of UC stuff here>
 
EXEC:\Internal Storage\RadioControl.exe -radioon

I don't recall the kind soul who developed the radio control application.

Thank you for your suggestion, I do have everything being setup using UC and I have resolved this issue without it having to be in a ROM HERE

What does that RadioControl.exe do?

RadioControl.exe is a very simple program that allows one, based on command line syntax, to turn the radio or, turn the radio off or to cycle the radio (whatever cycle the radio means).

I use it to reduce interference when my UC script is running. When the radio is on, you can receive calls, text messages, etc. So, I turn the radio off to eliminate such interruptions. Then, the last command before RST is to turn the radio back on.

Additionally, some application installers will ask to turn off the Activesync connection to make updates. I have found that turning off the radio, terminates the Activesync connection and the prompt to turn off Activesync no longer occurs.

It is this last item which makes me wonder if you might benefit from this technique. Perhaps shutting down communication (via turning off the radio) will enable the copying of these two *.dll files to be a little bit more repeatable.

Great explanation!!! This would have been a route I could have taken if I didn't come up with my own because that is the exact problems I was facing, ActiveSync was attempting to make connection to the Exchange server before the HTCAP service was started and that's why it was crapping out... the service needed to start first that's why the reboot needed to take place before ActiveSync would auto accept my toast!
