ActiveSync Question

Hi, this might not belong in this forum but hopefully my question can be answered quickly.
I have all my contacts in Outlook 2003, and ActiveSync is set up to sync contacts, but when my Tilt and computer sync, the contacts from my outlook don't go onto my Tilt. Conversely, I made a contact on my Tilt and synced, and I could not find it in my Outlook.
How do I get the contacts from my Outlook 2003 onto my Tilt?

If you are having problems with Outlook sync, I would suggest this if no-one else comes up with an alternative.
Make sure you have the latest A-sync (4.5xxx) installed.
Back up your phone with SPB or something similar if you can.
Delete the Activesync association in 'Activesync' on your device and then go through the process of setting it up again when you connect to your PC/laptop.
Once this is done, select 'Replace all data on device...' which will give a CLEAN sync and will put all data from your PC/laptop back on your device.

I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. The phone sync's fine, but nothing goes onto the phone. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

OK, one last thought.. If you have tried this before, your PC may be holding the association name.
Before you connect the phone, Open Activesync on the PC, go to 'File' 'Delete Mobile device' and remove all references...
May work?

I tried both.
I flashed to the HTC rom from the Tilt rom. Looks like I'll be flashing back to Tilt to see if that's the problem.

Really wierd?? you cant sync at all??

It SAYS it's all synced, but the contacts are not on my phone.
edit: Looks like it wasn't the rom's fault. The Tilt rom also won't sync my contacts.

same problem with AS
same here
since i upgrade my xda iis to pdaviet wm6. i just select the contact to be synchronize. in AS its show syncronize 150 contact, when i put my device on the cradle.
but when its done. nothing seem to be copied
i try to add 1 contact manualy in my device and sync, it copied to outlook. so the opposite, when i add contact in my outlook, it copied to my device contact. but not the rest ...
i havent try with other rom nor other ver outlook
i use winXP SP2 with ms outlook 2007. my xda on pdaviet 5.80.02 WWE, ROM date 12/06/07
any sugest would be helpful
regards

I had the same problem with activesync saying it had copied over over contacts but nothing appeared (using outlook 2007 by the way).
So i plugged it into another laptop that had outlook 2007 installed and it synced no problem over activesync
So i guessed that there was some sort of courruption or error on my main desktop pc.
Fixed the whole problem by installing the latest office service pack.
Syncs perfectly now

sync problem with tilt
I had a problem sync'ing the tilt- xp/pro and office 07
I finally found out there were other versions of office on the machine, and apparently it didnt know where to point to outlook.
Uninstalled previous versions of office, cleaned the registry, and like magic, it worked fine.
Many hours spent finding this out. Had help from Mr. Bean.
I hope this helps.

If I do this will I lose all the contact on my phone? Sim?
also what file is this: Activesync association......which file do I delete?

Sync problems

All of the sudden I am having problems sync'ing my phone with Outlook 2007. New contacts and calendars that I have added to Outlook will not sync to my phone. I thought that I had read somewhere that you could clear a setting in the Tilt to make this work but I can't find it anywhere now.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Tilt
Outlook 2007
Vista
Thanks!

Anybody have any ideas?

we started experiencing this too.
At first, it was just one person and then another. I noticed this morning I had the same issue.
Appointments created on my desktop machine do not sync to my phone. However, appointments created on my device will sync to my desktop.
I have been unable to resolve the issue so far.
I think I may try going back to outlook 2003 and see if this issue resolves.

I have had similar problems under XP in the past, where any appointment with a note attached would not sync, also any contact with a photo would not sync.
If you type the following (or cut and paste) into the 'run' window it may help or may not in your case - it certainly sorted my problem out
Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll
If it doesn't help - as it is a slightly different problem fix, then I am sorry I have no other ideas.
You could also try this site which is where the above fix came from originally:

NOTE that I am talking about XP so not sure if the fix is suitable to try on Vista

I am only posting this so that you know that it does and can work - I have (at least so far) using the ROM in my sig - and Office 2007 on an XP Pro machine had no problems synching. I sync messages, contacts, calendar tasks notes and favorites.
FYI,
Bill

I have some variables I did not mention before such as groupwise and Vista OS, not to mention what we are changing in the server background.
Here is the 'shotgun' approach I used:
I noticed today my calendar was not syncing.
Appointments added on my PC would not sync to my device.
Appointments added on my device would sync to my PC.
(POSSIBLE PROBLEM #1)
I uninstalled Office 2007, rebooted and installed Office 2003 and the GroupWise connector.
The installation detected an install of GroupWise and asked to remove it…..I said yes.
(POSSIBLE PROBLEM #2)
During that process another message indicated that it was configured to use an ‘OFFLINE’ mailbox (It was configured to use ONLINE mailbox) did I want to delete the box. I said yes.
I launched Outllook 2003 and all was good.
(POSSIBLE PROBLEM #3)
Connected my device and WMDC launched and I got an error indicating a memory read write error cancel or proceed. I told it to proceed and the sync started but never progressed or completed.
I deleted the partnership between my device and computer. It warned that all contacts and mail and appointments synced with only that device would be removed. I said ok.
Connected my device and it removed the partnership and items described above.
I created a new partnership and it synced and everything worked.

Outlook 2007 & Activesync Major Headache

Ok probably asked loads but had a search and couldn't seem to find anything that matched my problem,
I have a kaiser tilt and i use outlook 2007 i have got all my outlook contacts and appointments on the pc but when i connect the device it syncs the files and stuff but not my contacts or appointments.But it does sync from the phone as in i made a test contact and a test appointment on my phone connected the phone and bam it was there in outlook.But going from pc to phone is another matter and its driving me insane anyone care to offer wise words ?
Little Update it now syncs the appointments made on both the phone and the computer but still only copies contacts from the phone to outlook and won't go from computer to phone on the contacts part which is driving me up the wall and yes the box for contacts is ticked on the sync list .

sorry if this seems a little silly
but have you checked active syc settings?
making sure your contacts and calender are checked?

Yeah, check settings on the phone to make sure contacts are being pushed over, also do you have an exchange acct set up with a separate outlook sync account? If so you'll only be able to sync contacts from one source, not both.

USB to PC Connections
Do you have USB to PC in Connections checked. Sometimes either checking it or unchecking will solve sync problems.

Yep i have in sync and outlook and on the phone all seems fine,little update i have now installed Outlook 03 and its working fine.Must be a dodgy issue with activ and Outlook but i now have another problem but just with outlook i can't get rid of the old email account from 07 its just like (says my email were you click and it expands ) but it wnt expend and says how to remove it when you go to remove it its not available to remove kinda like a glitch i spose any ideas ?

Have you (on your phone) done, Start/Programs/Activesync (depending on ROM might be elsewhere)/Menu/Choose what to sync? This needs to be done w/ the phone currently un-synced!

You put outlook 03 on w/ 07? what does that mean?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I have Outlook 03 installed along with Office 07

well... you should stay with outlook 03 with office 03 or outlook 07 with office 07. having outlook 03 and office 07 will cause you problems in the long run as outlook 03uses word 03 as its editor (unless u use outlooks lame editor), all office apps in general are closely tied to one another and will cause problems later down the road if you mismatch versions. your best bet is to stick with either the whole suite of office 03 or the whole suite of office 07.
as for your problem, are you using the activesync cd from the box that came with your phone? i do believe the tilt came out before 07 which means you proably have an older version of activesync. you can download the newest version of activesync from microsoft's website (as far as i know, 07 was written completely different from 03 so activesync may not be handling syncing correctly). also, since 07 is relatively new, make sure you get all your updates when you install office 07

Outlook Date problems

I have a problems with the Birthdays and Anniversary dates being changed by 1 day, always the day before what I put in. If I put 01/27/06 as a birthday on a contact, sometime over the next day, it will change to 01/26/06. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it.
Thanks
Andy

does anyone else have this problem?

Yes. I do.
To further clarify:
Birthdate and anniversary reminders show up correctly on the WinMo Calendar.
However
If you go to Start > Contacts choose a familiar contact and click on it. Scroll all the way to the bottom. The birthdate and anniversary date for that contact are listed INCORRECTLY as one day earlier than the correct date.
The correct birthdates and anniversary dates continue to show up correctly as calendar reminders on the WinMo device. They also remain correct on the synched PC's Calendar AND Contact Items.
It's only the individual contact card on the Windows Mobile Device that has the birthdates and anniversaries incorrectly one day early.
I suspect there are a number of people with this problem who have not yet investigated it.
In getting to the core of the problem and trying to help out, I can say I am running Device- Tytan II based, USA, AT&T Tilt / 8925 / Kaiser. HyperDragon III December 25th ROM. PC Is Vista 32 bit Ultimate SP1 with all MS Office Updates and with the 8-2007 Windows Mobile Device Center Update. MS Office Small Business 2007.
Will be working next few days to forensically determine if caused by ROM, WMDC, Outlook 2007, infection / infiltration.
Any other members with similar situation, please post details and info!

My phone has the stock HTC ROM. It did the same thing when I had activesync on a XP machine and WMC on my current Vista PC. I've had the same problem with a 8525 as well. The only common part is contacts and MS Office.
It changes the dates on both, I don't use reminders on birthdays so I haven't seen that, but if the date is wrong, how can the reminder be right.
I hope you find something, thanks for the help.

Same here
I have an AT&T Fuze (HTC Touch Pro) with stock ROM. Syncing with Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager on a Vista Ultimate SP1 laptop. It appears that only the birthdays during Daylight Savings Time are off. All Microsoft updates have been installed.

It is indeed a DST bug.
And I've now seen it on a number of different phones / configurations.
Here is how I solved the problem.
YMMV
First be sure to back up your .pst files!
Downloaded this Microsoft DST patch
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...92-3142-4473-b435-b514e4b360a5&DisplayLang=en
Put the .cab on phone's micro SD card.
Powered up phone and synced it with WMDC.
Opened Outlook and deleted all contacts - i.e. moved all contacts to the Deleted Items Mail folder.
Waited while WMDC synced / removed all contacts from phone.
Disconntected phone from computer.
Went to phone's File Explorer and went into the Storage card and found the DST fix cab I downloaded to the card earlier.
Ran the DST fix .cab
Rebooted the phone.
Attached phone to computer and ran WMDC.
Opened Outlook
Went to Deleted Items email folder and one by one dragged each contact back to its original Contact Folder location.
When contacts were synced back and on phone again, birthdates and anniversary dates were showing correctly both on the computer and on the Windows Mobile Phone.
What a pain! Not sure that was the best or easiest way. Not sure if it will work for anyone else. Again be sure to back up your .pst file first in case anything goes wrong.
I'm convinced this problem is more widespread than most people are taking note of.
Because. Birthdates show up correct on Outlook / computer. Birthdate reminders show up correctly on the calendar of both Outlook and Windows Mobile phone. Which is more than enough for most people. Im betting in large part people dont scroll down individual contact cards on Windows Mobile phone and take note of the birthdate written on the contact card and notice it's one day off.
Now I just hope when we switch back to daylight savings time I dont have to go through some convoluted process all over again!

Outlook syncing calendar

For the last few months I have been unable to send text, but I could recieve texts. This seems to have resolved itself after I synced with Windows 7/Office 2010 beta on second machine. After I sync now with Outlook 2007 on my main XP machine texting is still working.
Not sure that was what cured the problem. Because at about the same time I created a new contact on the phone and noticed texting had become available. Whichever changed things I can now text any of my contacts.
But an ongoing problem is syncing the calendar. If I create an appointment on the device it syncs to outlook 2007. However if I create the appointment on the pc it does not sync to the phone. It has worked previously
Any advice would be sincerely welcomed
Using AT&T Tilt with 02 Xda Stellar rom Win Mobile 6.1

try deliting the partnership in activesync on your phone and both pc's and do a new "first time" sync, maybe that will help

Same?
i have the same problem! but with my father's phone (HTC Blackstone (HD)) as well as mine (HTC TYTN II). deleting the partnership does nothing! i found i have to link up my phone via the activesync cable , but this is a problem when im in a rush or something and i have to turn on the computer...
we both have wm 6.1 running on our devices maybe thats it?
