activesync 4.2 wakes my PDA up

Hello all,

My Mio a201 restarts every 5 minutes while connected to my computer in
order to synchronise with outlook 2003.

Why can't we deal with frequency of synchronisations ? It's very stupid
, frustrating and boring when you want to load your battery, isn't it ?

Does an older version of activesync 'solve' this problem ?

Excuse my english.

a french n00b ;)

nope, not if you are running WM5... you will conform... you will be
absorbed... ;-/

see http://BevHoward.com/ASync.htm#RAPI for a couple of kludges... the
network shortcut works, but you have to assure that the device is OFF or
it will not charge.

Other question, my PDA wakes up too when i have a 'rendez-vous'. I
disabled the 'show on screen' notification but it doesn't work. Any idea?

set the reminders to not notify?

If you have them set to notify, it should try to notify you on or off.

I know i can't set the reminders not to notify me at all, but that's not
what i want.

I want the pocket PC to notify me only by a sound, when it is ON or OFF.
But i don't want it wakes the pocket pc up.

Is it possible or not ?

thx a lot

The process of notification is the execution of application code which
requires that the device be taken out of it's suspended mode (turned on)
for that to happen.

The only option I can suggest if you don't want the screen on is to set
the backlight to off when you turn it off but it might be easier to put
a bag over it to keep it from lighting up the room.
