WM 6.1 Activesync & Vista WMDC data direction - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi -- I'm running Vista Business' WMDC on my PC and WM 6.1's (ATT's unreleased, official WM6.1 ROM) ActiveSync on my Tilt. I have the sync set to replace the data on the device, but find that on occasion (mainly calendar items, but contacts, too) are being updated on my PC. Do I have the capability to fully control the direction of the sync? I want to sync only from the PC to the phone, not the phone to the PC, as any changes I make will be done at the PC.

With your phone connected via WMDC go to Mobile Device Settings>Manage a Partnership>PC Settings>choose the "If there is a conflict" dropdown menu and choose replace items on device,save.

That's exactly how I have it set, Alemaker. I've oftentimes dismissed a reminder (I set reminders days or weeks in advance and then change the reminder date as the time/date gets closer) on my Tilt, only to find it also dismissed on my PC, not reminding me at all. Until I find a definite solution, I've gotten into the habit of not dismissing the reminders on the phone. I just want to prevent the phone from doing any updating to the PC.

o.k.
This forum is a great place for issues and you may want to try posting this in the MSFT PPC newsgroups also. they can be found at microsoft.public.pocketpc. I'm sure between here and there, someone has seen this or can offer a solution.

The above setting does just what it says, uses the action you choose in case of conflict i.e same item has been changed on both devices. ActiveSync doesn't have an option to act like you want, so unless there's a hack somewhere there's no way.

Active sync error message, please help

:lol:
I am happy i have WM5 finally working and sweet on my MDA III, but i cannot syn my device with my outlook, or anything. I have tried with Outlook open, it gives me "Support code: 85010014" i have uninstalled and deleted the folder, repaired outlook and i am not using activesync 4.1 and it is still giving th error message. I also have SP2, everything up to date. I have deleted and created new pathnerships, and uninstalled and reinstalled, still getting the same problem. Please any ideas will help. It is not connecting to an exchange server, i have also read around so i decided to post mine.
Activesync and WM5
Activesync under WM5 is different than under WM2003. You didn't indicate how you were trying to sync, I assume via a usb cradle/cable. With WM2003 the syncronization via a usb protocol. For some reason under wm2005, they decided to switch to TCP/IP.
If you look in your PC's network connections with your phone plugged in you will find a window's mobile local area connection. Unplug the cable and the local area connection drops off. The observation is that you now have to allow this connection through whatever firewalls you have setup. This week when ever I had the firewall turn on ActiveSync would not work. I eventually removed and reinstalled Activesync 4.0 (I was on 4.1) and I assume the installation process configured my XP firewall correctly this time around. Check your firewall settings.
Tried it
I only have the windiws firewall, i even disabled the micrisoft antispyware and it still giving me the same error message
Activesync, WM5 and Windows Firewall
Check your Windows Firewall exceptions, I have the following exceptions for the Windows Firewall:
ActiveSync Application (WCESMgr.exe)
Activesync Connection Manager (wcescomm.exe)
Activesync RAPI manager (rapimgr.exe)
Activesync Service (TCP Port 26675)

Actually I believe you will find it needs ports 5678, 5679, 990, 26675, and 5721. Hope that helps
Hi,
I have the same problem too. I just updated to ROM1.60c and ActiveSync 4.1 build 4807. When I try to sync, tt keeps giving me the error code 85010014.
The funny thing is, I have no problems syncing Notes from Outlook. But the other Outlook items like Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are not so lucky.
What's happening? How come only Notes can sync?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Tried it
i have tried it all, it is not working, i have disabled all firewall, something keeps popping up on my pda that it cannot get an ip, i just ignore from reading the wiki. I cannot get MS voice command to work, after install i get an error message, i really want to use WM5, i can do with out voice command, but active sync is very important. i think i will use active sync 3.8 in the mean while see if it works :?
obiesoft,
Are you using OST feature of Outlook? If so, make sure your Outlook client is connected to your Exchange Server during your first sync (i.e. when prompted choose "Connect" not "Work Offline", if not prompted check settings in Control Panel-Mail). Not to be confused with having ActiveSync connect directly to Exchange Server. This solved my problem with 85010014.
Good luck!
i am not using an exchange server, just outlook on a desktop, it syns perfectly on my laptop, so i am trying to find where the problem is. Also, my bluetooth always disconnects, why is this and how can i solve it?
Can i please get more help
Ok, My device synced with my laptop (which connects over wireless to the internet at home). I was happy about this so i copied my pst files from my outlook from desktop to the outlook folder on laptop and it now asks for password to an exchange server??? all this is weird, i just want all my contacts to go in with my calender info. Also the bluetooth is rubbish, it disconnects, any fixes or tricks to keep it up and running? i use HBH 300 headset. Also voice command is installed but when i activate it, it says "voice command ready" and then an error message pops us. I love WM5, but anything to fix these glitches so i can keep using it? Help will be greatly appreciated.
Hmm... sorry, don't have much else to add... might be time to unsinstall and re-install Outlook on your desktop....
Bluetooth
Well i will keep trying with outlook or if worst comes to the worst, enter everything onto my pda by hand. (DAMN).
But besides that, is anyone having problems with bluetooth? mine keeps disconnecting.

I also have the same problem. It has been driving me nutts for 4 days now. :evil:
WORKING!!!
I have a desktop which i sync my WM2003 with, but since i upgraded, i have been having problems. Now it is working, but this is what i did, nothing too technical
1. I have a laptop which has most of my downloads and programs i write for school and work.
2. I installed active sync 4.0 on my laptop and synced, it worked, but my data is on my desk top
3. on the desktop i went to C:\Documents and Settings\jiggaman\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook (jiggaman is name of my desktop) and copied the personal data files to the same path on my laptop, then i opened outlook, deleted the dupilcate email accounts and synced, it worked!!
4. It updated my PDA and latop, all this means now is that i have to sync with laptop, not desktop anymore. So if you have another computer, you can try this cause it would not sync for the past 2 weeks with my desktop.
Good luck!
Any ideas on bluetooth? it is still acting up.
Re: Support Code 85010014
Hi there,
I had this problem with a PPC-6700 from Sprint. (EVDO HTC Apache with WM2005) I hacked around a lot, did the repairs, reinstalled ActiveSync, no go. I decided to reinstall Outlook and, for some reason, that did the trick. I also have 2 different versions of Office, Pro 2003 and the Student and Teacher Edition. I think I had problems with installing from the pro cd, but I'm not certain. Not sure if it has something to do with that or not.
I solved my ActiveSync problem with Error 85010014.
I also run Eudora and Incredimail Plugin for Outlook on both PCs, Work and Home. Both are on XP Pro SP2 and when I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my work PC without issue, I decided to attack my Home PC Outlook installation to see if I could resolve the issue.
So, At home:
Putting Outlook in Offline mode did not solve the problem.
I uninstalled ActiveSync 4.0 and installed ActiveSync 4.1 - No difference.
I backed up Outlook via 3rd party program to grab account settings as well as my 2GB pst file then ran Help->Detect and Repair... - reboot, no difference.
I then ran Control Panel -> Add or remove Programs -> Office 2003 and chose to modify my installation by adding or removing components. I unchecked Outlook and updated it to remove Outlook from my Office 2003 suite. Then returned to this option and re-checked Outlook to add it back to my Office 2003 Suite, CD-Rom in hand but updating it did not ask for the Office 2003 Install CD-Rom... - Rebooted and connected - Bingo NO 85010014 error!

Foxnolds! You are a genius! This worked for me just as you described - many thanks! My Wizard will be here in 3 days, but for now I was going mad not being able to get WM5 on my pda2k to sync with Outlook until I tried your solution. Voila!
This needs to go in the Wiki.....

I'm glad it worked for you also.
I have since chosen to "Delete Mobile Device" from ActiveSync as I did not like the name it had chosen. I then disconnected, went to PDA
Start->Settings->System->About->Device ID
then set it to want I want it to read. :wink:
I then connected to ActiveSync and predictably saw the new connection wizard, BUT it warned it could not see Outlook at all! It suggested I install a version of Outlook etc. even though it was visible and running on my desktop! :evil:
I connected anyway - Contacts, Tasks, Calendar, Notes options greyed out. :roll:
Rebooted PC XP Pro SP2 and now ActiveSync options were available. I enable Syncing of Contacts, Tasks, Calendar and Notes. Resynced and got the dreaded 85010014 error status again! :evil:
UnInstalled and Re-Installed Outlook 2003 from the Office Suite but did not reboot PC. ReSynced and this time I get Windows PC: Attention required Error 8503001f :evil:
Microsoft ActiveSync said:
Cannot synchronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected.
Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile.

Maybe a reboot is required... So I'll post this and see... :roll:
I have now found that uninstalling the Outlook component from Office 2003, rebooting then re-installing Outlook component to be effective 90% of the time in curing ActiveSync errors.
To solve the hardest 10%, I have found that I need to update the Windows\system32\MAPI32.DLL which only can be done without Outlook or WCESMgr.exe running. (Use Windows Task Manager to kill them first)
See zip file of the MAPI32.DLL that always works for me, even if the existing version says it's identical (i.e. from Windows Copy Dialog).
I now have two XP SP2 PCs syncing up to WM2003SE XDA II and my WM2005 i-mate Jasjar.
P.S. I found a solution to AvantGo over sized text in WM2005, use Tweaks2K2 .NET version 3.15.0 feature #75-Double Pixeling deactivation for individual programs in VGA Devices.
I now manually sync via WiFi on my Jasjar using "AvantGo Connect" application, like I manually sync WeatherPanel as required as GPRS charges are criminal in this country!
Contacts wont sync on upgraded BlueAngel
I upgraded to WM5 and things are good so far. I had some trouble Syncing with 4.1 on my pc but not with my laptop. The problem now is that I have only been able to get my contacts to sync partially. Ive looked through the posting, but I have not been able to find any solutions. Any one out there know a way around this problem or a solution I should say.

Sync and USB Driver

1) I am tired that active sync synchorizes only ****. I mean, for example if i added a contact in the pda when i sync (pc over device) i lost the new contact. Is there any form (like in palm) to synchornize both at the same time and no overwrite one (item) over other (pc or device)?
2) Any way of use the pda only as an usb driver to put things in the pda withhout sync?
Tyvm.
1) look at your activesync settings, you can set which device would have priority in case of conflict. But in your case......it shouldnt delete case i dont think a new contact is a conflict, but check anyway.
2) wmstorage, but it doesnt work.......there's some tricks to get it to work, and some ppl have posted a working cab. search for it.
SOTI Pocket Controler Pro.
u will never use active sync again
just correct me, if i'm wrong,
but doesn't pocket-controller need active-sync to connect to your pda?
1) i sympathize. i've had many problems with activesync before, that i fondly call it activestink now. but check your settings, when i add something to my pda, activesync does manage to synchronize properly between my two devices.
2) if you just want to transfer files and install/uninstall programs, just delete all partnerships and connect as a guest. no synchronization, but as mentioned you can still copy/transfer files and add/remove programs.
It needs to use active sync the first time to install it on the device then the rest is the device activating it instead of active sync.
Yes, but thats one of the options. U could choose one of the other ways.

Clearing the calendar?

For some reason my Tilt's Calender continues to give me multiple reminder announcements even when I dismiss the reminder. In fact, it will stay on the screen until I dismiss it a few times right from the onset of the first reminder. I'm curious if there's a way to delete every calendar entry? I have hundreds and
I just want to clear the entire calendar and re-transfer the events/appointments from Outlook 07 and see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks for any advice!
There is an easy way to delete the whole Pocket Outlook Database (including Calendar, Contacts and ToDos). You just need to delete the pim.vol file. Detailed instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369123
If you just want to delete the calendar entries, than I know just one method: Install Pocket Informant (the trial version should suffice). This application provides the possibility to delete all calendar entries at once.
Actually there's another way to do it, I did a search some time back looking for the same solution and found it. Open up your ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options - Server Synchronization. When you choose the items to sync with server, it will ask you whether you want to delete everything off your device before the sync. Use with caution though...
I cannot find the options described as:
ActiveSync, go to Tools - Options - Server Synchronization
I tried opening Sync Center and Windows Mobile Device Center looking for this (Vista). I also looked under ActiveSync on my Tilt. There is no "Tools." Under "Options" there is nothing regarding Server Synchronization.
What now?
Thanks...

civic98 was refering to ActiveSync on a Windows XP machine (since you didn't mention Windows Vista before). In Windows Mobile Device Center the similar setting can be found under "Mobile Device Settings" -> "Change content sync settings" and there uncheck the "Calendar" checkbox. Your phone needs to be connected to the pc of course. HTH
No, I'm referring to your Tilt's Activesync. NOT on the PC...

ActiveSync Coming Back - Possbile Solution

Hi.
I figured out this solution and hopefulle this should work for everyone.
1. Configure your activesync with any dummy server name
2. Make the sync to Manual schedule
3. Reset.
Or you can do this, find it on Polaris tweak and tricks thread by Mahmood
when i have the Polaris
"To keep Active Sync from popping up at different times for no apparent reason:
You will need to go into the registry.
1.Download any program TASK Manager/Resco Explorer/Memaid etc.
2.Find the NOTIFICATIONS menu (or Notified Programs).
3.Find <repllog.exe> it will have several types listed. Find the one that says<AppRunAfterTimeChange>
4.Highlight this prompt.
5.You will need to Disable this. The only time Activesync should start now is when you sync to your PC."
I used the TASK Manager and it works perfect when i disable the repllog.exe
Active sync dont bother me no more

Data transfer after new ROM - dumb question

Just about to try a new ROM and it occurred to me?
I've never done a ROM update before - read a lot about it but never actually done one.
I have done the hard spl and that was easy.
I understand the ROM upgrade kills all of your exisiting data and programs and this needs to be backed up and restored.
I use Exchange/Activesync Windows XP etc in a Corporate environment and I was wondering about this process.
I've upgraded phones before which is also easy, just reinstall the apps and sync and away we go.
Being as a ROM update isn't really a new phone, how does Activesync react to the fact that it is the same phone with no data? Will it "sync" the no data back to Exchange and delete everything?
Is there something built in to Actiovesync that recognises that this is the same phone and just "resets" everything back to where it left off?
Or do you just treat a new ROM like a new phone and create a new activesync partnership?
How does everyone else do this??

Exactly this scenario. After reflashing of a ROM it's like it's a new phone and Windows Mobile Device Center / Activesync must be setup again
/Smirge
I am using corporate server for mails, contacts, calendar as well.
After flashing ROM, setup ActiveSync and you have your data back.
Interestingly, if you flash one of the new ROMs with the Manilla 2.5 layout that icludes the new "grid style" contacts layout (as opposed to the rolodex style) once you have synced your contacts via exchange, your favourite contacts appear to be "remembered" i.e. you do not have to set them up again, they just appear in the grid as if by magic!!!
I have no idea whether this is a feature of the new manilla, windows mdc (I am running windows 7 btw) or ms exchange - whatever it is, it's useful!!
Thanks everyone.
I'll give it a go - wish me luck.

Oh, I would love this
But my company uses Google and its not supporting this, so i have to reenter my favorites after every ROM flash
