Since updating to Activesync 4.5 I've noticed that near the end of the sync
cycle, the icons on my desktop repeatidly refresh. The effect looks like the
desktop clears and then repaints about one a second.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there any solution?

Thanks,
Bernie

Hi,
I have not seen or heard of the repaint issue you described before.

With futher study, I've found it happens during the Notes section of the
sync. I'm set to sync Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes. I just ran a
test where I let the unit completely sync. I unplugged the unit and let the
PC acknowledge it was gone. I think plugged in the unit. The Contacts,
Calendar, and Tasks all said they were currently synced. The Notes said 0
out of 39 were synced. It then counted up through the 39. It then when back
to 0/39 and counted back up again, but this time is when the screen
refreshed. I manually counted the refreshes and got 26, but I may have
missed a few. It's almost like it refreshes for each Note the second time.

Are there any logs generated by Activesync to help troubleshoot why it's
syncing the Notes twice and why every time I replug the device?

Hi,
There are logs however there is no documentation on how to read them. From
what you described here are my thoughts:

1. The dual sync is standard. It is part of the design to sync one
direction and then the other.
2. The 0/39 for the notes means there is a problem. The easiest way to
identify the notes that won't sync is to setup another Notes folder, move
the data there and sync then move them back until you find the notes that do
not sync.

Possible causes include large notes (over 16k), embedded objects, etc.

One more point of data, I synced my Axim PPC to the same PC for the same set
of data and it does not exhibit the blinking behavior and it does not try to
resync the notes on a repetitive syncing.
