Before I upgraded my Palm 750V to WM6, it was pretty fast but it takes ages.

I am using a Microsoft XP version on my desktop. Anyone faced this problem
and have a solution?

regards

Hi,

What happens when you connect the device? Does ActiveSync give you any
message or is it simply displaying "Connecting..."? Additionally, have you
checked with Palm support?

I get this as well - syncs eventually ok but I see the spinning
ActiveSync icon in the system tray for an age before it's happy. The
delay seems to be across all things I'm syncing, and not, for example,
a problem with downloading content from avantgo which I could probably
understand.

Using an HTC touch dual, Windows 6 and ActiveSync 4.5.

Synching does take forever compared to the "good old days" of pre-WM5 and
Activesync 3.x. I blame the slower persistent storage flash memory of
WM5/6 devices. (Having said that, I blame a LOT of things on persistent
storage including the sinking of the Titanic!) ;-)

I am having a similar issue with ActiveSync 4.5, but only on Windows Mobile
6. I used ActiveSync on Windows Mobile 5 which also uses persistant storage,
and did not experience the really slow sync times that I am now.

As the others have posted here, in Windows Mobile 2003, things were much
much faster. They got slower when Windows Mobile 5 came around due to the
persistant storage. I didn't expected them to get even slower in WM 6, but
somehow it did. It's almost painfully slow.

The strange thing is that when I sync with my Exchange Server via Wifi,
things are really fast. It's only when I'm using ActiveSync through the
cradle that things come to a crawl. I'm assuming it's a bug with the
ActiveSync software itself on the PC.
