Sounds like you haven't found the fake ActiveSync server trick. From this

thread

(http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=116891&highlight=fake+activesync+server)

try:



Fake Server hack instructions



1. Turn on your Axim

2. Go to Start > Programs > Activesync. This will open the Activesync

program.

3. Tap Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring

up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is

the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we

can't change Activesync's default synchronization schedule.



Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into

thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:



1. From Activesync's Menu tap on Add Server Source.

2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not

matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the

indicated boxes:



Server Address: fake

Tap Next

User name: fake

Password: fake

Domain: fake

(Ticking save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no
difference,

so no need to bother).

Tap Next

Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronize' options

Tap Finish



3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's

main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection

called Exchange Server.

4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now

enabled! Go ahead and tap it!

5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every
5

Minutes or Every 10 Minutes. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak

times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.

7. Press the OK button at the top right of the screen.



Congratulations! Activesync is now gagged from opening on it's own and

ruining your life! Your work is not done just yet though - time to clean
up

and get rid of the now unwanted fake Exchange Server.



1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.

2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will
appear

about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the
fake

Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.

3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s).

Obviously do not delete these!

Thanx Clinton. This has been going on since I bought the device 2 weeks

ago. The only software I have installed is iSilo and ePocrates.



I don't think they have timers.



Is there a setting hidden somewhere that tries to check email at

intervals? I don't use outlook on the mobile, but I set up a connection
to

my pop3 server. I think I have set it to only connect when I request it.



Thanx....frank

Joisey,







It sounds to me like you have some sort of application that is firing
off

at



a interval timer. Is this something that has recently happened? Can you



correlate it with the loading of a new piece of software? If so, have
you



tried to uninstall the software to see if that resolves the problem?







Regards,

I am using a sprint ppc6700, with WM 5.0







It seems to turn itself on several times an hour, whether it is in
its



cradle or in the supplied belt case.



Is there any way to stop this?







I frequently find when I take it out of its case, that some random

program



has been opened and various selections made.



I worry it may delete or change something.



This certainly must run down the battery.



I do not use exchange server, and sync only with the cable.



As far as I know, it only dials sprint for my pop3 account when I
click

on



"send/receive messages."







When in the cradle, it seems to synch every 5 min or so. I thought it



would



only synch when first plugged in, or when I made a change in one of
the



synched files.



thanx....joisey
