I have the HTC TyTN II with Windows Moble 6 & my problem is that Activesync has been loading on my phone. I close it, but then it just pops up later. Is there anyway I can stop Activesync from loading up automatically, other than when it's connected to my PC?
There's a good write-up on this at Spb Club. I've pasted the article below:
Some of the lucky owners of the brand-new Pocket PCs with Windows Mobile 5.0 are encountering a rather nasty bug - their Pocket PCs are losing battery charge even while apparently doing nothing - you left it on the table fully charged in the morning only to find your device at half-charge in the evening. The hidden culprit here is, in fact, ActiveSync on Pocket PC side - with default settings, Pocket PC ActiveSync activates itself every five or ten minutes and tries to sync with the desktop.
To refrain ActiveSync from waking up the device every five minutes and to save your battery charge, you can use following "dummy server tweak":
1. Start ActiveSync on your Pocket PC.
2. Tap "Menu", then "Add Server Source"
3. Configure a server source with a fake IP address, id and password - you can enter anything you like, it doesn't matter
4. After that you will notice that "Menu -> Schedule..." item is no longer greyed out.
5. Change your schedule to manual under both fields.
6. You can now delete your fake server - your changes to the schedule will remain in effect. ActiveSync will no longer be able to drain your battery.
Hope this helps!
