Active sync broken? (never happened before)

[cbreze]

I found some info, but not pertaining to my situation. I checked my mail manually via active sync this morning. Worked fine. Checked again a couple hours later and just never connects, no alarm, reason or issue listed. This has never happened to me before. Soft reset, no help. If I hafta hard reset I'll change roms as I'm a flash-a-holic anyway. But would prefer to get it working. Any advice? I'm running SSK's 3.0v for cdma.(posting in that thread also) I've had issues with A.S. before but never this. It's always been a very flawless operation. TIA for any suggestions.

I have found an occasional connection problem when the Bluetooth radio on my laptop gets turned off. It normally works again when it is turned back on and that normally works for me when I reset the laptop. In addition I have found that the Sync Center has to be running - check the task bar. I had to do a reinstall of the Sunk Center once.

settings>all settings>connections>usbtopc>uncheck enable faster data......also from time to time you must restart your computer....mine does this occasionally and a restart of vista usually gets the job done.....but i have had to re-install active sync before as well....good luck..

Just want to say thank you. Out of the blue today...my WMDC would not recognize the phone. Never happened before. I re-booted both a few times and reinstalled WMDC...nothing.

Found this and unchecked "enable faster data"...and it started installing something right away and quickly synced.

I don't know why it worked because it always worked before with it checked.

More importantly for right now...I DON'T CARE.

Thanks for the help.

An explanation of Enable Faster Data Sync:

I see others are having issues as well. I guess I didn't make it clear that I was referring to a wireless sync to my hosted exchange server. Funny thing is the uncheck faster data if your device isn't recognized option worked, but then stopped working after a few hours and it also seemed to disable my internet access. Have no idea why that happened. I rechecked the box for enable faster connection and all was fine again.
I since moved on to a diff Rom,(and no more issue btw) I hope those of you having issues also are able to resolve them. At least now I have an idea what or rather what not checking that box does.
@sanjsrik, Thanks for the link to the explanation. Very informative.
It still seems to pertain to a usb sync only tho. Have no clue why it worked for my wireless sync. Good info tho

Doing this pretty much makes your connection useless. The computer will not see your mobile device and unless you go through some other way, you won't be able to transfer files between your device and your computer.

Try the following:

1. Install process explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx)
2. Open it and make it default (this is just a suggestion)
3. Disconnect your device from your computer
4. From Process Explorer kill the following files:
Rapimgr.exe
wcescom.exe
wcesmgr.exe

Reconnect your device
Restart Activesync.

Most likely the Activesync connection got lost somewhere. Happens all the time, you're lucky it hasn't happened before to you. It's quite common.

Rebooting your PC sometimes fixes the Activesync issue.
