Contact details in WM5

I've looked in all forums but coudn't find a clear anwer. I use the Wizard (orange m3000).
It is probably a WM5 issue, but how can I switch my contactdetails to the presentation firstname - lastname. It's really anoying this way.
Kind regards,

Go in to your outlook, go to contacts and change the way that the name is displayed ie. first then last name. This is replicated down to the pda.
Volila you now have an eaier time, sorting through contacts.

Thanks for your reply, however I'm not using outlook but lotus notes / mNotes from commontime. But still, in lotus notes the names are saved as firstname / lastname. Maybe there is some sort of scipt for WM5.
Please let me know.
Kind regards

I've made a simple application for WM 5.0 that changes all the contacts. It can be downloaded from www.shubaroo.com

Help Needed Calander Sync Prob And Other Q's

Calander problem and other queries
Hi I have had an xda2i in the past and it all worked fine with the Calander. This week my newer model xdamini S broke down so I turned to the replacment xda2i i had been sent when the other one packed up and I just cant get it to recognise the calander. Its just not in the list. As you say contacts etc is there but Calander is not. The strange thing is when setting up connection you can choose to sync with calander, contacts etc which I select only to find that once the sync occurs Calander is just not in the list. Can anyone you had anyone help solving this?? Im using outlook 2003. Also the xda2i im using has not got the latest drivers I have looked for them on the 02 site but they dont seem to be their anymore. Finally, what does the radio version do anyway? Help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

email check

Hello all,
I apologise if this is a repeat question but I have been reading and searching for a long time :
I have deleted the application that checks my hotmail account for emails from my TILT. I have searched here and on the CD to reinstall but no dice. How can I reinstall it?

Errors with birthdays, 1440 minutes

Hi!
When I am syncing my Diamond, it does not want to sync birthdays and gives me the error report "XXXX birthday Time:32-10-09 00:00 Duration:1440 minutes". Does anyone have any suggestions?
./InstantGravy

I had this. It seemed to be because I had set a birthday as a re-occuring calendar item back in 2005 and had also set the same persons birthday in contacts. I suggest deleting the calendar item if there is one. Worked for me.

Thanks for the reply!
Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem:-( I have tried removing all birthday entries. I have also tried removing all the birthday entries directly in the calender. It does not seem to matter, the error is still there.
Any other ideas?
./InstantGravy

Same problem
I have the same problem on my raphael, at first this problem occurred when I had also set the birthdays in contacts, after removing al the birthdays in contacts this problem was solved. Only now the problem persists with one appointment inviseble, to my mac, pc and raphael. From what I have read about people solving these problems it almost always had something to do with a different calender making appointments inviseble to outlook. The thing is it is invisble to al my calanders, and I dont know i what way appointments are stored (That way I could delete them manually). Thus... not a mayer problem, it's just that the error WMDC and pocket activesync give me, are annoying the crap out of me, cheers

I have had this issue, luckily Pocket Informant was able to actually see the "hidden" apptment and I could delete same. PI8 has saved my bacon here many times as I sync with 2 machines, on XP other W2000 (work...)
PI8 also had an "advanced" ways of looking at the recurring birthdays...resetting the recurring date for birthdays/anniversaries using PI fixed my issues
Duplicates would often appear and ODIR (http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp) would sort that out...
Basically Activsync sucks....and you will spend a lot of time "patiently" solving these issues....Hope this helps and good luck!!

Aight thanks man great tip, no matter how careful I am keep needing software removing my doubles and manually recreating some of them to, almost to the point where was searching for an iMac... . thanks

Sorted it out with Exchange
Hi y'all and thanks for your time and effort!
We switched to an Exchange server at work and that solved my problem. Now I am able to sync with exchange at work and with my Windows Mobile Device Center at home. Still has a few glitches, but a lot better than before. My "Birthday" problem has disappeared as well, so I think it had something to do with syncing two computers with mobile device center.
I agree that ODIR is a fine product worth trying for those of us that have had a few duplicates created in our sync efforts.
A pity that the sync function of windows mobile isn't better than this.

Hey all
I have the same problem as "InstantGravy", with the sync-error caused from birthday-entries.
Error:
Emne: Emilies Fødselsdag
Klokkeslæt: 06-08-85 00:00
Varighed: 1440 minutter
I know it's in danish, but it's the same kind of error as "InstantGravy" is talking about.
Can anyone, (If anyone got one) please please please bring a step-by-step on how to resolve this problem. It's driving me crazy. I hate when I get errors on my phone/pc...
Any help is much appreciated...Thanks

Contacts not syncing on Tytn II

Hi folks,
I've recently noticed that my contacts are no longer syncing from my PC > mobile. I've noticed this because I've recently added two new contacts, and couldn't find them when I wanted to call them!
To give more info, my environment is: -
O/S: Vista, SP1
ROM: Stock T-Mobile Vario III, WM6
Office: 2007, using Outlook 2007
Additional notes: -
- sync up with 2 computers, but contacts only sync with the home one (calendar + tasks on both).
- Recently acquired a SE W880i of my brother for weekends, which syncs up with Outlook as well, via a SE program.
I've searched for an answer, and the only one that sounds reasonable is maybe the photo is too big, but the other contact doesn't have a pic, so most likely not the problem.
Many thanks in advance for the help! ^^

.... I take it take it's not a common problem, then?

OK, I've figured out a workaround, in case anyone else has this problem.
what I did on the PC was copy the details onto notepad, then delete the contact. My PPC then synced (as it was cradled), and made another copy of it out of spite! I then deleted the new contact, and it was deleted on both.
After this, I made a new contact and filled in the details again, pic and all, and it synced up all nice again! the other contacts also played nice, so all's good.
Note: I didn't have a problem with tasks nor calendar throughout, so Idon't know if it affected anything (most likely not in my case).
Hope that'll help anyone who had the same prob.

Thanks for sharing it with us.I also had the same problem...
