Constantly syncing ActiveSync and how to make it stop.

Ok, so this doesn't seem to work...more research required.

This very useful information courtesy of bevhoward.com


Stopping WM5 Activesync 4.x Five Minute Sync Interval and Constant Wakeups
There are some frustrating behavioral problems with Activesync 4.x and since it's new, approaches to deal with 4.x's specific problems are still evolving... the following two approaches deal with two different needs... first, throttling 4.x's insitance to sync constantly which is not only unnecessary in most cases, it robs the sync computer of valuable resources neeeded for other apps and tasks... second, connecting a device in need of a charge triggers it to "turn on" even if turned off... not only irritating, but, since juice from a USB connection is limited, it significantly extends the time needed to charge the device.
Restoring the Manual Sync Option
Use Regedit and find the key;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners\**********\Services\Synchronization

Set the following values to 0 in hexadecimal value.

- Continuously Update
- Update on docking

Thanks and a tip of the hat to Raj Pillai MS MVP - Mobile Devices for this find.

Edit registry entry on treo:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{guid }\Settings\SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled

The original value is 5 (5 minutes? Like how often ActiveSync seems to run? hmmm!). If you change it to 0, it will revert back to 5. Instead, change it to something like 300.

Then SOFT RESET.
