Does anyone know if this is available on any of the wm5 roms? I use it everyday and would like to goto wm5, but can't be without instant email. any sugestions would be very helpful.. thanks!
also, unrelated, but anyone using Vista with wm2003? I am and get contacts or calender to sync, Vista doesnt have activesyne, just window mobile and I think it doesnt support wm2003 deices. thanks!!
I am not sure but i think Blackberry is not working yet for Blueangel WM5.
As for vista it is not finished, it will not sync anything else except media (music, videos and pictures). In the RTM version syncing contacts tasks and caledar will be possible
if no bb, how does everyone send and recieve email? do they connect gprs every 5 mins?? seems like a pain in the butt. any suggestions are greatly welcome.
The BB clients that are available for WM5 do not work on any of the BA WM5 versions, only on the official Wizard and Universal roms that are pre-AKU2

I'm using the Orwell WM6 rom and having problem syncing email with Exchange via GPRS. I can sync calendar and contacts with no problem and desktop sync is ok for email. But everytime I sync 'over the air' my email inbox ends up empty.
It all works perfectly with WM5.
I've read a few posts about problems with Exchange sync but haven't seen any solutions. Does anyone know how to fix this? This might be the only thing that sends me back to WM5 and I really don't want to do that unless I have to.
Thanks.
I tried to reproduce this error but have not been able to... I am using the PDAVIET3 WM6 ROM though, I use push-email and havent had a single issue with this ROM. Maybe you might want to try that wm6 version ( or pdaviet4 )
cheers
hmm I wonder if its because my Exchange is 2003 SP1. I sync on a schedule rather than push. Maybe SP2 is needed to sync with Exchange mail. Its a work server so I have no say in getting it upgraded.
I'll try one of the pdaviet roms. Thanks for the suggestion.
See if your IT guy can run through the settings. The only thing I could think of is he might not have the "Enable unsupported devices" checked. The screen below is of an Exchange server with SP2 installed. I assume that option is also in SP1.
Exchange 2003 SP2 is required to have Pushmail available, the scheduled synch should already work with SP1
I'd have your IT guy check the event logs on the Exchange box ...
I know it's not your decision but I'd really enjoy hearing the rational of your IT dept not installing SP2...
I remember when SP4 for NT blew up several of my servers (gotta love that BSOD!) but this update has been out for over a year and is considered critical.. and quite stable. Actually more stable than SP1...

Thanks for those suggestions guys. But it looks like I've got it fixed.
Before flashing one of the pdaviet roms I thought I'd hard reset the Orwell rom and see if that made a differance. And email is now syncing sweetly!
To make it even stranger, before the hard reset I found I could sync my sent items in email if I enabled that, just not the main inbox. Really strange.
I'm now reluctant to add any of the fixes in the Orwell rom for camera, mms etc. just in case they give me the old problem. But who cares. Exchange email sync is number 1 on my list.
Cheers.
THis mey be weird but I tried Faria's WM6 roms and liked them but had a few things I had become used to in WM5.
Is it possible to merge the two ?
Pull Office from WM5 and put it in WM6 ?
plus get rid of stuff.
From what I can tell poutlook is for syncing with desktop outlook ?
Is it seperate from calender, tasks and notes ?
If I use stand alone email do I need poutlook ?
For the outlook question - poutlook is the whole Messaging thing so you need it for any type of SMS or e-mail - I'd advicea gainst taking it out as there are also a host of dependencies you'd need to figure out.
THanks
I figured as much
I am using goodlink on my TILT and when i go to send an sms it doesnt pull my goodlink contacts only my sim contacts.. any clue how to access goodlink contacts for sms?
The Windows Mobile OS will only pull up the native contact list. If you are using ver 5 of GoodLink you can get the GoodLink server IT admin guys to be sure that the one way (that is from GoodLink to your native contacts) is enabled on your phone.
According to GoodLink literature the reason for this functionality is just for this reason and for things like Voice Command (or other voice dialers) that also use the native contact list. In this case the OS uses the native contact list for SMS msgs

Quick question .. how did you get goodlink on your tilt...my restore from backup method did not seem to work. Did you do an OTA install?
EDIT: See my solution posted below
What version of Goodlink are you running?
Do you know if your admin guys have upgraded to ver 5?

Just figured it out ... problem was I had goodlink on my 8525 too (which as of about 20 mins ago, when the fedex guy got here, is being retired), and I could only have it on one device at a time. Once I figured that out, just got a new PIN for the Tilt and it seems to be running the OTA provisioning without a problem.

Mine pushed out 4.9.3.21 and it's working just fine...
I got our admin guys to upgrade to 5.0 then upgraded (it automatically loaded it). It looks a little different to 4.93. its not that much of a big deal except you get a nice RSS and the ability to make a calendar appointment private (finally). BUT admin gets to see all the apps you have on your Kaiser and they can lock anything out! you can also get your admin ppl to allow good contacts to be used for native lookup (phone, sms etc.) but it didnt seem to function as well as activesyncing contacts (it doesnt show company name - in fact it doesnt sync company name and you end up with lots of UNNAMED contacts).
I also had a couple of issues on the install becuase Activesync forces you to add a password and Good doesnt like this when it installs. tyherefore in the end i did it via ahard reset.
All in all, its a luittle better. im testing it for stability before they roll it out to thers where I work.
Please report back on the experience - It would be great to know how things work before I try an push for the upgrade as well.
How well does that RSS work, and is it only set up on the phone, or does it sync with your Outlook acct? (ie - is it a box in your exchange account like the native rss support in Outlook 2007)
Good vs. BBC
I have used goodlink for years starting on my treo 650 then my trusty (kind of) 8525. The whole separate contacts thing really annoyed me so when I got my tilt I switched to, dare I say, blackberry connect. As opposed to using separate software to manage the calendar and contacts, it uses the built in wm apps so the contacts issue goes away. Just something to think about if you have the option to use either one...
Are you able to to sync your notes with my WM6 device ?
I use MS Outlook 2003.
In the included screenshot, you can see that I can not check 'Notes', because there is no checkbox.
I have tried to delete the ActiveSync partnership, and create a new one, but the problem is still the same.
I moved a few days ago from my WM5 (HTC TyTN) to a WM6 device (HTC Kaiser). With my HTC
TyTN, I could sync my notes without problems.
Thanks for any help, Chris
I must precise that I have WM6 Professional, so Notes should be available, isn't ?
I heard that Smartphone do not have Notes, but I am not using a smartphone.
Being a Mac user, I am actually trying to figure out ways to synchronize my mails and contacts between the Touch Diamond and my MacBook. I used the free version of SyncMate up till now but it doesn't work well with the Diamond and I would rather go for a solution that also syncs my music. That's why I am considering the The Missing Sync.
So has anyone tried synchronizing their phones (HTC Diamond) through the Missing Sync? How long do you expect support to come for it in case it's not supported?

I am a mac user too and have tried both, I found under 10.5.4 both are problematic to say the least but a new version of Syncmate is coming out real soon which fixes a lot of problems.
In regards to timelines you can but wait, or even better hope that apple release an update to isync!

Syncing HTC Diamond with MacOS 10.5.4 and Missing for WM 4.0.3 works well for contacts (Apple Address Book, but contact pictures does not seem to sync well), calendar (Apple iCal), tasks (Apple iCal) and music (Apple iTune). Please, read:

That's the way I proceed and I am quite happy with the result.
Moreover, I went back to this solution after using an iPhone during six months since Windows Mobile / ActiveSync / Missing Sync can manage two partnerships by themselve, i.e without relying on a third-party service such as Mobile.Me. This is very important for me since I must sync the PDA with a professional MacBook and my own iMac.
