What would cause activsync to just start up for no reason?

I find it funny sometimes how i can randomly check if theres any programs running and i see activesync running for no reason. Even if i never connected to the pc for the day..

Something is causing it to startup and run and i dont know what it is..
should i just disable it in comm manager and enable it when i want to sync to my pc??

It is sometimes caused by
(1) having time sync enabled in the phone services list
(2) using direct push
and of course
(3) sun spots

But usually its the first two. There really is no way to keep it from starting if it gets a mind to start.

ha!

yea ive got time sync disabled and i havent used direct push.. but if that means checking email then i guess thats it.. but other than that..
its annoying to find out its sucked my battery down because its been running in the background doing something

Right that says turn off time sync and set up a fake sync account to disable sync.

I have done all that, and even then, still, sometimes ActiveSync just decides it wants to go. I try not to worry about it

I have not been able to use the "Fake" account to stop active sync in the new ROM. It does not let me set a manual connect. It did in the 3.3.

Activesync is possessed. That's all there is to it.

My 6600 did this, and the 6700 does this too. I figured there's not much to be done except close it manually. It pops up only ocassionally now and then.
Another Microsoft faux pas!
