Uncheck time sychronize and click ok and your problem is solved.

But that's not doing the SAME THING. That shuts off time Sync with the Network.

What I pointed to tells ActiveSync to not do a Data Sync everytime the clock changes which is a completely different animal.

I would not shut off TimeSync with the Network unless your network has bogus time or issues with TimeZone.

Greetings-

Robber is correct. You're basically setting up a phantom server and making the changes for ActiveSync through there. The following steps are designed for the Axim, but will work for PPC as well. I've used it on my 700WX with no problem. Do remember what server name, password and username you've created so you can change back if needed.

ActiveSync 4.0 turns on automatically
There were several posts indicating ActiveSync turns on by itself when the Axim is not cradled and eventually drains the battery. It never happens to me. Circumvention provided by Invid:

Disabling automatic syncing (and activesync startup) did. The new activesync is a dog, even worse than it was on WM2003SE and makes my x50v almost useless while running. I will list the steps to disable it. Note that you will still be able to sync, but AS will no longer start up on it's own.

1) Start up AS on your x50.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.

Good Luck

Yeah that link Mswlogo posted is how I did it before with memaid works great without sacraficing anything. It's very easy, just get memaid and it takes 2 seconds and you're done.

Unfortunately I believe the bogus server doesn't work on the touch for this issue as A.S. is even more evil this time around with the time sync que, the bogus server didn't seem to work on my 6800 although it was a godsend on the 6700.
