[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Syncing the Motorola Q - Tip

[Dave Gnotta]

Blaine,

The Q does not actually have true "Push" yet. It simply opens a  
connection at designated intervals and checks for email.

It does however ... seem to "keep open" it's internet connection  
after checking email or accessing the internet with the browser. A  
lot of folks on Motorola's support site have suggested turning Flight  
Mode on and then back off. This seems to break that connection.

The issue, as I understand it, for Q users who want to use Missing  
Sync via Bluetooth, is the requirement by Missing Sync to put the  
phone in Flight Mode, before trying to connect using Active Sync/ 
Missing Sync. The problem for Q users being that putting the phone in  
Flight Mode also appears to turn off Bluetooth, preventing it's use  
with Missing Sync.

If I have misunderstood something, please let me know.

Thanks!
Dave
