MissingSync People manila.exe error - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi!
I'm trying to sync my Diamond with my Mac by using Missing Sync. The connection works just fine and I have all my contacts on the phone. The only problem is when the syncronization is done I'm no longer able to add contacts to my People list.
I just get an error message that claims there is something wrong with manila.exe
I can't get rid of the problem without a hard reset and as soon as I sync the phone again (after doing a hard reset) the problem is back. Any solutions?

I'm having the same issues... I belive that it is related to the method that mark/space is syncing (the small app one is required to install before syncing the first time). I've have written to mark/space regarding this issue but haven't recieved a reply yet...
I am, however, able to add some of my contacts, I haven't been able to see a pattern as to why those particular contacts are being added when manila crashes when choosing another...
EDIT: May I suggest that you change the topic in order to get other members using missing sync to look this way... The current "People manila.exe error" is somewhat cryptic

Ok... let's hope they respond. If they do, please post here. Topic changed.

Problem solved. Remove all images from your contacts. Manila only gets an error when the vcard has pictures.

Yeah... same thing happens to me. Makes that part of the app useless. But I found that if you take the pics with your camera on the phone and add them it doesn't happen... as often!

ActiveSync is deleting my contacts on my Wing

So I have never had this problem before. I want to backup my contacts from my phone into my outlook 2007, they flat out delete all my contacts on my phone! Not only that but if I get a new number on my phone and I want to update my outlook on my desktop, it gets deleted. This gets very annoying and I have never had this problem before, normally they merge my numbers from both. I have looked for a setting to fix this, but I have failed to do so.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! This gets very annoying when i have to go around asking for numbers AGAIN.
can't remmeber the exact details.. but if you were to delete the relationship of your PPC-PC, then add them again, you will have the option of saying which one has priority. Check those options carefully.
you can either do that or you can check your partnership settings...most likely you have it set so that if there is a conflict the system will replace items on your device... you can set it so that it dosnt do that or it replaces item on your computer instead

Reversing Contacts

Hello all,
Have done a search and have found nothing, so I thought I would make a post.
My contacts are all in the format "surname, first name". I find this to be really annoying, is there any application or option to reverse this so I have "first name, surname" ?
Thanks!
This little app will do the trick. Works perfect for me.
Only problem, each time you add a new contact, you will have to run it again, as the new contact is then again in lastname, firstname format.

Thank you sooooo much! Going to run it now....
NOTE: "reversing contacts" caused sync error on WMDC (Windows Vista).

Well, ...if you have too many contacts it's going to take a while, but if you don't wanna mess anything up with apps, try the following (helpful when inserting new contacts as well )
I just had the same prob and noticed that a few gaps below the "Name" gap, it says "File as" and when u click there you can choose if you want surname or name displayed first.
:O I did all 200+ contacts manually in Outlook then sync'd them across -_-"
this tool will come in handy for future use. Cheers

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

Cannot Send email without deleting account first!

I have an amazingly annoying problem whereby I set my email account up on my Kaiser and it works perfectly for a few days sending email, then all of a suddenly stops sending email, giving me the message about network coverage and checking your settings. The ONLY way I can fix it is delete the account from the phone, then recreate it again – using EXACTLY the same settings. Again the account will send email without a problem for a couple of days (using the SMTP server smtp.t-email.co.uk on T-Mobile in the UK) then fail again.
Has anyone come across this before as its driving me crackers now
Thanks
Same problem here...
That's funny, I thought it was just me. I have gotten really good at setting up my account again. I thought it was ROM specific, but have had it happen on other rom's. I use gmail which needs secure data connection. Do you use something else?
Oddly enough, I have both a gmail account set up (although I never use this to send email) and a pop3 email account from my ISP which is causing me all the problems!
Are you using an IMAP account by any chance?
I noticed I would have similar trouble with mine, and it happens if I try to delete a message or otherwise move one between folders.
The first time this happened I went the delete/readd account path as well, but the second time I managed to link it to the fact I had just deleted a message. I brought the message back from the trash can to where it was initially, and the account would sync again.
oops - just reread and noticed your problem was sending, mine was the whole send/receive process that would fail. Still leaving here in case it can lead to something...
So then, this has worked 100% for the past 9 days and now its happened again. I haven't changed anything on my phone. Do I have to delete the account and lose all my messages AGAIN!?
Do some searching -- this sounds like the email issue that Microsoft issued a fix for a few months back
I have saerched and found threads on several boards aabout this problem. none of which contain a solution!
Just to update...Flashed to a brand new ROM (NGY Professional 1.2), email has worked for 2 weeks and the problem has hit again - cannot send email until I delete the account!
Sounds like its fragile to stress and makes it hang on certain job making it loop working out the last string. I am not sure but perhaps sending is in que and it tries to look for deleted/moved data and wount proceed forward. However I would make a backup of my mail then delete all (in/out) then see if it picks up the pace. Then I would try to work it and see whats bugging it, by that I mean send/recieve, move/delete, quit/restart -> synch +++ Dropp a comment on youre observations, perhaps we/me/someone get a more clear image of youre issue and can solve/explain this issue.

It's annoying when it's a known issue and someone even prompts you so (burtcom). xda-dev is meant to be more of a self help forum so going over old ground is not good. The update worked with the UK WM 6.1 HTC ROM release (although hardly anything else did) so unless you're wanting to go back to the official ROM, you'll need to see what people in the thread related to the custom ROM you're using, have to say about it.
Good luck and I'll try not to be scarcastic next time if you take prompts to search for the answer because it's already been discussed, more seriously.

[Q] Problems syncing contacts and calendar from default Microsoft account

Hello,
When I first turn on my phone, I added my Microsoft account. Then it downloaded the contacts, calendar events and emails.
Later on I updated a contact and realized that it didn't sync to my phone. I tried doing it manually (keeping my finger on the account and taping Syncronize) but that didn't do it.
So I thought maybe something was wrong so I reset the phone to factory settings, add my Microsoft account and... ONLY 3 CONTACTS copied over. I wipe the phone a second time and I get the same result. Third try, all my contacts are back but still not syncing.
Then I see that the only checkbox available for syncing on my default account is email. So it doesn't seem to sync contacts and calendar (which is weird). So, to test it, I modify an even on my phone and wait. It was never copied over to outlook.com.
Why? Why can't I syng all three easily like it does on my Windows 8 computer?
Did this happen to any one else? What can I do about it?
Thanks
Haven't seen that happening before. Normalyl I would say that a hard reset should fix that problem but given that you already tried that it seems like a rather severe problem. Perhaps there is something wrong with your Outlook.com-Account. You might want to contact their support team?
What phone are you using?

I didn't think of that! I keep trying to debug the phone but yes it could be on the outlook.com side. I'll check that out. Thanks.
I did a test yesterday. I added a new even in my calendar and it did sync. But I modified a contact and that did not sync. Very strange...

Thank you so much for that tip! I got support from them and there was indeed a problem with my account itself which they fixed and now it works fine! :good:
