Dj 25 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 There were several posts indicating ActiveSync turns on by itself eventually drains the battery. found this method on pdaphonehome forum... heres how you do it... 1) Start up AS on your phone. 2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source" 3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real 4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on. 5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out. 6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields 7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too. If you have a switcher app running (like magicbutton or vbar) you will find that when you close AS it will now stay closed and you should see a corresponding increase in speed.
