Connection Question

Catman51 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-24-2008, 12:07 PM

I just did a hard reset and restore, and now when I hook up to ActiveSync and click to update my weather and news programs it connects to Sprint's data rather than doing it though the PC.
In the connection settings the top one is Sprint and the second is my work network. I think it's always been that way.
How can I get it back to updating through the PC while it's hooked up?
Thank you for any help!

I use Pocket Weather and mine will do the same unless I go through the settings on the weather app and configure it to update via wifi or AS.

Well, I'm using WeatherPanel and Egress. They were doing fine before the hard reset, now, without changing anything they connect to data.
WPanel doesn't seem to have that option.

To answer your question and not talk about other weather apps, the ones they pointed are all great ones by the way, but it appears you need to resetup your device to sync with your PC via Active synce (Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista)

I'm on XP, should I just delete partnership and make a new one?

I deleted partnership, but that didn't make a difference.

If you hard reset then that means you had to reinstall the app. Partnerships between the device and AS has nothing to do with what connection the weather app uses to connect and pull data.

Actually, I reinstalled from a Back up.
I actually don't care which weather, I own both. I'm just saying that the news program and the weather program connect to data rather than through activesync.
Thanks

Like I said, I use Pocket Weather and these are screenshots of some of the settings on how mine updates and so I assume yours would be close.

No, not using that weather at the moment. The problem isn't just the weather, it's also Egress newsreader, so I need to know how to get the connection through activesync back for all programs.
Right now I'm going into connections prior to hook up and making it my work network, then switching when I'm not hooked. Never had to do this before.
