Dialing from a Calendar in WM6 w Mob Ofc 6.1 - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Anyone able to dail from their calendar from WM6? I am on a Tilt running WM6 with Mobile Office 6.1 but it is not working for me ....
should be:
tel:xxxxxxxxxx
in the notes of any calendar item but not for me....
here is the Microsoft URL .....
http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2430713&SiteID=65&mode=1

figured it out.. think I have found a bug ... i was initially using my PC updating my calendar item in the notes and then letting MS AS sync the change to the phone ... never got that to work ... but if i just add the number to the notes on my PC then Sync to the phone ...then go into the phone and add tel: to the front of the number as well as a space after the number - it works!

Is there a way to do this without having to edit the appointment on the phone?
is there a registry tweak or CAB file that will automatically recognize phone numbers and emails in the calendar?
Also, I noticed it is not possible to this in the subject line, only the notes.
I don't understand why this is automatically done in WM 6 standard on my Moto Q and not in WM 6 pro on my Kaiser. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Goodlink

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...

goodlink software contacts

Guys,
My org uses goodlink (good.com) as the email service provider not microsoft's push mail. I recently upgraded to a tilt and changed the rom promptly to schapps latest release.
The way the good software works is that it adds its own software stack (email/contacts/calendar etc) which syncs to the my outlook. The problem this creates is that my contacts do show up (the right softkey button leads to contacts which are the goodlink contact list) but are not connected to my dialer.
To be able to use smart dialling i then have to manually sync my phone to my computer to copy the contacts again which is a pain. My previous phone was based on windows 2003 whose dialler showed the goodlink contacts directly.
If there are any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

This is not what is supposed to happen. I use GL too. If you sync with Active synch eventually, you will end up with duplicate contacts. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for this to occur. This applies to GL 5. In 4.9, I had to do exactly as you are stating...synch only the contacts with active synch.
interestingly, I have a post regarding Good Mail. I found that using the XDA Live 3.0 (WM6.1) with the reTOUCHED dialpad, my contacts, while in the phone mode, linked to my Lotus notes contacts, not my local ones.
If I'm understanding you correctly, this is exactly what you want to happen (exactly the opposite of what I want to happen on mine).
I have 5.0.3.23 good mail with the above and it works the way you want yours...
Good luck,
MBN

With 5.0 the contacts are shared. If you sync with active sync, they will be duplicated because you are already syncing the mail server. GL 5 takes over much more of the system than past versions. I have found no way to change its behavior at all. If I make changes, it has protections in it that undoes the changes.
thanks for the help guys. I got on IT's case and changed my GL version to 5.0 and a hard reset and the installation of the retouched dialler everything is now working exactly the way i want it. Thanks guys!

Have you tried using Microsoft Voice command with Goodlink contacts? in my search for a solution i found a thread on another forum which said that voice commands/dialling wont work with goodlink contacts and we will have to sync them again. Im going to be trying it anyway but just wondering if somebody has already done the effort.
I can also vouch for that. I am the good admin at my org and the latest 5.0.4.46 works quite nice with outlook contacts and allows for smart dialing.

I use voice speed dial and it works with GL 5 owning the contacts without doing a sync via active sync. Haven't used MS VCMD so ymmv.

I just wish I could talk my IT guys into a longer wait period before locking the phone...30 minutes kind of sucks when using the GPS...in a car. Any ideas for hacks? I haven't found any.

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...

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?
