HI,
i have a new Wizard. Former i got a MDA III with windows mobile 2003. Now i have the problem that the sync SW is not working anymore syncing with Lotus Notes. Does anyone has experinece which peace of SW does work to sync especially contacts and calendar.
greetings
Commontime mNotes
mNotes does work. It's not great but may be the best. An alternative is a link M$ provide to Outlook which is free and may work for you.
I have mNotes and it now works after I had some trouble installing it.
What else could work is the latest version of intellisync.
so long...
IBM has a sync tool called EasySync Pro. It is a bluewashed version of XTNDConnect. I believe XTNDConnect has WM5 support as the IBM version of it is being beta'd now... I'm using the IBM beta version and it seems to work well.
Another vote for mnotes. It works very well for me. Have used it with an imate jam and cingular 8125.
I use IntelliSync with Groupwise and it is pretty smooth. You might take a look at the free trial http://www.sync.com/is_desktop_main.html
What version of mNotes are you guys using?
I tried using 4.2.0 which works ok for a couple of hours but then I dont seem to be able to run mCentre, mStatus etc. I had to downgrade to 4.1 to get a more reliable solution.
Also how is the push email working out for you? Mine works flawlessly as long as the device is awake...After it is in sleep mode (i.e screen off) it can be very hit and miss. I keep finding that I need to wake the device to check my email - which kind of defeats the object!

Sinanju is correct that XTNDConnect PC works with WM5 devices. I tried several programs but eventually settled on XTNDConnect PC to sync with Lotus Notes 7 (only calendar syncing). I had been using EasySync Pro 4.2.3 with my HP iPAQ 4155 but once I bought my MDA, I had to find a new solution.
I wish I had access to the EasySync Pro 4.2.4 beta but for now I am happy with XTNDConnect PC.
I also have to agree Mnotes is the best, a little expensive though and the 4 weeks trial period is a little short.
If, however by accident, your computer thinks it's already living in 2010 before you first install it, it lasts a little longer.

I've used XTNDConnect PC (extensively), Easysync (briefly), Intellisync (briefly) and now mNotes. If you are looking for power and flexibility, mNotes is by far the best, IMO. And... the best thing about it is that it allows you to sync to your Notes client computer over WiFi! I love that!
Dont use notes!
We have notes at work. I downloaded the Outlook connector for domino, and now i use outlook 2003 instead of notes. My Varo syncs withouth any issues to outlook.
Its not perfect - but its MUCH better than having to use notes.

I did that for a while. My issue with it was that folks in my office like to use multiple-line subjects in calendar entries. The Outlook connector will chop them off at one line and that gets sync'd back to Domino... even if you look at the calendar in Notes, the data will be gone. Unfortunately, that was a deal breaker for me.
You might want to look into Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO)... it's an IBM product that will do what the Outlook connector will do without nearly as many limitations.

Sync with Lotus Notes for WM5
Hi
Try xtndconnect pc desktop from ianywhere.
http://www.ianywhere.com/products/xtndconnect_pc.html
Exelent
Here's another path;
I really don't like Notes so I use Outlook as my front end but everyone needs to see my calendar so what to do. I found a program called doublelook, it syncs calendar & contacts between notes & outlook & works great.
http://www.companionlink.com/
It doesnt do email so that could be an issue for some. I had created an agent to bounce my emails to a pop3 site but some IS weeny freaked out and took away my agent privilages, anyone know a hack around on this?
Another vote for Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook.
I HATE Lotus Notes. The software is so ass backwards and archaic looking it makes me nauseaus every time I have to go into it for something, but I digress....
A buddy of mine first told me about the MS Outlook Connector from Microsoft. I really liked that one as it gave you the cool translucent popups for new mail notifications in Office 2003, but after installing it I could not see all of the mail folders I had setup on the Domino server, as well as I would occasionally lose a folder or two along the way. This also happened to another co-worker. Totally unreliable and needs much work. Frankly, I think they ought to pull that connector until such time as it can be made to work correctly. (Usually I'm a huge proponent of anything MS.)
I spoke with our Domino consultant and he gave us a copy of Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook. This is a decent little program that works great. It does not require you to have Lotus Notes installed on your PC at all. Since installing it, I use Outlook exclusively. It gives you tons of functionality that the MS client doesn't, and most importantly I can see all of my mail folders. It has some shortfalls, like I can't look at some shared departmental calendars as they don't belong to a specific person.
For syncing with my Wizard though, it works like a champ and gets me out of using that dreadful Notes client.
Your IT admin may not be as receptive to the idea of you using/installing Outlook. Fortunately for me I am the IT guy and it's not an issue
i had this same problem yesterday, i downloaded Intellisync 5.5 and it works great with Lotus R6 and T-Mobile MDA
Does anyone know if there is an alternate to ActiveSync?
I have been using WinMo for about a year and am disappointed that the sync software from M$ doesn't actually sync. That is to say, it doesn't look at a file - say Contacts - and use the more recently updated one to overwrite the other one, regardless of whether the newer one is on the PC or the phone.
For example, if I enter a new contact into my phone, while I am in the field, the concact does not show up on my PC after a sync. Still on the phone, but not actually synchronized to the PC.
Is there software that actually synchronizes or do they all just follow the "overwrite phone/ overwrite computer" rules?
I should mention that I sync between 2 PCs.
The best there is.
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
Wow!
Thanks!
Can't wait to give this a try!
Mmm it looks like it doesn't sync outlook stuff (calendar, contacts, tasks, email).. is that the case?
sounds like you have a configuration issue w/ activesync - mine will take whichever is newer, even when syncing between 2 machine. in fact, i've used my phone to sync my work and home machines by using my phone as the go-between. I think the "overwrite phone/etc" settings only kick in if a record is changed on both the phone as well as the desktop?
it sounds like he wants to Sync on 2 PC's and get all stuff on both
you can sync on 2 pcs and get everything on both. the only thing you can't sync to two machines is email...
Task Sync Error
Hi all,
I had a look but couldn't find any help on this issue, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a Tytn II running WM6, it syncs all my contacts and everything, however i have created a couple of tasks that occur on a weekly basis. I created them in Outlook and then synced them to my phone. The problem i have is when i complete the task and mark it off on my phone, the next time i sync, the task in outlook is not complete and has made a duplicate, is there any way to change this.
Thanks
I know there are a few options out there for WM and Mac syncing, but need to know which ones work reliably with the Diamond for Calendars, Contacts. Pics, music and video would be good too.
Is The Missing Sync the best to get in this respect and has anyone tested with the Diamond ?
cheers in advance.
MissingSync works for me very well...
Cool thanks. Needed to know before buying it. New to the whole WM thing and getting my Diamond Weds with luck.
If anyone has a Diamond and a MacBook Pro, can you let me know if the Internet Sharing with PAN Bluetooth works and is reliable?
My current Hermes has a bad latency issue which seems to affect a lot of WM devices when tethered with the MacBook Pro / Airs.
Thanks
Aidan
Will give it a go later in the week if I get my Diamond ok on Weds. Mind you, will be fun being a new WM user trying to get it to work ;-)
Its a feature I'd like to be able to use.
It works well, still a bit slow tho, tried it the other day for fun.
You can go online alrite, dunno if it's where i was sitting but hte connection was slow
Any chance of a little tutorial chap ?
Could never get my Nokia N95 to work correctly.
Try it !!
Syncmate.
I use Sync Mate and its pretty good.
Will give it a go too.
Thanks.
Been having real issues with both SyncMate and Missing Sync.
Both do not sync correctly... I usually sync just one group out of Address Book (not the whole thing) and keep that up to date. 1st time I sync it works, subsequent times it insists on syncing all my contacts.
Calendar is also a bit flakey.
Running Mac OS X 10.5.4
Mark Space do not seem to warrant any pre sales support either so are of no help at all. Been waiting 3 days for a reply to my questions
Missing Sync does not work well.
Pictures of contacts are partly corrupt.
TF3D starts new, if i add a new favorite with some contacts.
Then i must delete the picture from this contact and add a new one, then TF3d will work.
(OSX10.5, Missing Sync 4.03, MacBook)
Hi, everytime i sync with missing sync i double my contacts anyone knows why?
its not good because i have some contacts in triplicate.

First time, i sync the PDA with Missing Sync, in the options i switch on the button "MAC overwrites PDA". Then sync, then switch off the button and sync again. So it works at mine.

I am using Missing Sync WM 4.0.3 with Mac OS 10.5.4 and it is working fine but I have no picture attached to the contacts.
The first-time sync procedure I usually use is the following:
- launch iSync from the "Application" folder;
- reset the sync history in the iSync > Preferences menu;
- close iSync;
- launch Missing Sync WM;
- for each syncing plugin you need to use, select "Mac overrides Device", click "Debugging options" and then "Reset sync history";
- logout from your user session and login back again;
- connect your device as explained in the Missing Sync manual;
- enable detailed logging in Missing Sync preferences and display the log;
... then be very very careful ;-)
* click the "Sync" button at the top or at the bottom of the main Missing Sync window.
* some of the items selected for syncing will sync and some will not (look at the log during the syncing process). *Disable* the "Mac overrides Device" options for the successfully synced items. Repeat the two stared "*" steps until all the item are successfully synced...
- further synchronizations should run flawlessly.
Hope this helps... (be patient and good luck ;-)
[You may also want to sync a second Mac with your device but the procedure is a bit different and a bit more complex.]
mbp and missing sync works very well
correction !!!
i just tried, than i even bought syncmate, its far better, and nicer than pocketmac or missing sync ( wich i used for years, so i absolutely recommend syncmate now, wonderful !!
syncmate is great. It does what it is suppose to do (I've only tried contacts).
I've used only USB sync don't know if WIFI works.
Syncmate is also working for e, strangely enough only via the Wifi - Sync option, not via the USB cable (but i prefer the wireless link anyways).
You should be aware, that you have to install the syncmate - driver on your phone, or no connection will be possible
HTC HD7 with WM7 - there is no provision to synchronise with microsoft outlook using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Alternate way of using Exchange Activesync does look complicated
Please address the issue
This has been Answered
There are some workarounds & a 3rd party app, the solutions have been posted and can be easily found with a simple search (here is a hint, CompanionLink for outlook, Windows Live Connector, Gmail Sync). This is a very hot issue and I suspect there will be more solutions forthcomming

I followed method two from the two ways to sync and worked just fine. I kind of like getting away from Outlook anyway. Hotmail/Windows Live is great since it can used through any computer contected to the internet to update contacts, phone numbers, etc. But I could see if this is an issue if you primarily use Outlook.

The problem I have is my company isn't running Exchange so for me to get my calendar and contacts I need a way to sync with Outlook.
I've tried Hotmail Connector and it works well for a one time sync but if you have a lot of changes to your calendar I have to make the changes in Outlook and Hotmail.
I refuse to pay $40 for something that should work out of the box.

Unfortunately, both are cloud solutions, which are unacceptable to me for both security and privacy.
If the WM7 device were seen as an external storage device (apparently doable via the registry), does anyone know whether this could faciliate a direct USB sync with Outlook 2010 32-bit?
Both solutions are OK for a one off copy of Calender & Contacts but do not perform a true contniuous Sync with Outlook and do not handle TASKS

if you are not ready to play with the cloud, I don't think wp7 is for you. They seem very serious about making the cloud an integral part of the OS going forward.

no microsoft myphone. All syncing goes through your live email address (like hotmail). For me, I had all my contact info on gmail because of playing on android with my hd2.
1. Logged into hotmail
2. clicked on import contacts under the contacts view
3. Clicked on gmail and followed the instructions
Took about 10 minutes.
For outlook I'm pretty sure you can do something similar, though I think you might need outlook connector from the marketplace to bridge it over from outlook to hotmail. You will only have to do this once, but then I guess your outlook will not be a syncable acct on you phone.
Just looked on my hotmail and it says to export your outlook contacts to a file that you can then upload to hotmail.
I'm a Windows Mobile User for 2 years now (SE Xperia X1) and loved the way I can sync it with outlook.
I have all my contacts (approx 500) in outlook and also use the calendar (+5000 items)
I've spent some time in the past to get the info on my contacts straight and I'm very disappointed about the lack of synchronisation options between WP7 and outlook.
Why does everything needs to be cloud-based.
I don't sync every day, but neither use outlook on everyday basis.
I never experienced syncing problems on either calender/notes/contacts or mail.
I have read something about features that will be added in the near future into WP7 and hope that local outlook synchronisation is one of them.
Hi guys,
I`m new to WM7 and i`m trying t sync my contacts as well. I don`t use Outlook and idon`t have an account.Is there any other way to get my contacts on te phone?
Thanks
So the windows 7 software allows syncing to google calender, email and contacts?
I'm stunned that there is no native support for Outlook synchronization with Exchange - this is old school and what I consider a core component of any smartphone I purchase.
I've just bought a HD7 assuming it would have this functionality (why would I check for this on a Windows phone, next I'll need to check the thing makes calls), guess I'm going to have to sell it on.
There maybe Third party solutions but I can't imagine they're ever going to work as well as a direct sync with the Exchange server in my office, giving Contacts, Tasks, Calendar Items, etc.
Absolutely gutted.
B
Of course there's native support.
If you have an exchange server, you have ZERO to worry about.
The issue is people who use Outlook for Pop and Imap. Or people who just use it for tasks and contacts. Without a Hotmail Connector, there is no way to interface with Outlook like the old school Active Sync did.
Again though, If you have Exchange, it works exactly like it does on any other platform, if not better. The only thing lacking right now is Tasks.
Jimbonics,
I could kiss you. My wife wouldn't like it (and neither would you most likely, I'm stubbly)
I've been reading phone forums, reviews and specs for what seems like months trying to choose the right phone (offline voice command via bluetooth is essential for me but Android doesn't do it and other devices have flaky support) so I skim read this thread: my bad.
Thanks for making my day.

Hi this its my first please go easy. I'm disappointed now with the galaxy note and Android. I need a decent calendar as I record all my work and then search by client to find my history and details and then paste into invoices from outlook on my laptop
Here's the story;
I've had the old HTC windows phones hd2 tytn etc and used stylus then touch synced outlook etc. Then got an iPhone4 to try out. The calendar was poor as it wouldn't let me search far back, found ical app which is brilliant. Now I'm not a fan of apple as its far to restrictive and you have to jailbreak to free it. Then along came the note, brilliant, large screen stylus notes, everything I want. So I've had it month and finally took the plunge to get outlook onto goggle calenear and s planner. What a nightmare, first I have outlook 2002 so finally get appointments to google then synced to phone. thought I'd use google calendar and phone and not outlook. Can't search easily on google calendar and s-planner crashes when searching. I do have a history of 5000 events though going back 5 years, but no problem with iPhone or old windows 6.5.
My conclusion galaxy note brilliant but let down by Android. Also apps are battery draining and data usage restrictions difficult. Now I know why ios will prevail and that is just as disappointing. Sorry for long post.
I can empathize with you. I used to be a happy user of Palm Desktop, which worked 100% as expected. Then I was forced into the Outlook world, which almost worked (through Activesync), but it had its glitches, like suddenly not connecting or producing duplicate entries, which consequently would give me multiple alarms for the same event. Now I am using a Note, with S-Planner and Google calendar and it doesn't seem as solid as Outlook, not to mention Palm Desktop.
Still, Outlook has never been a perfect piece of software and I won't miss it much. If Samsung managed to put together a sensible version of KIES, it would be enough for me.
Alternatively, if you really depend heavily on Outlook, why not try a third party synchronizing software, like Companionlink http://www.companionlink.com/ ?
Trouble is google calendar is to basic for me and has stopped syncing the last 3 months but has all the older events ? even though out is on my s-planner, so i think i need outlook. I do have the 2002 version though which not very compatible.
I don't know why the s planner is force closing when searching.
My key essentials are outlook sync to phone and search.
I would get outlook 2010 if this would help sync as I don't want to go back to iPhone
the iPhone app was weekcal by utilitap which was great.
I also use Outlook 2002 (when I have to), since later versions, especially 2007 and 2010 are even worse than that. They seem to have lots of functions, but these are not well implemented. Even though they seem to work, they are buggy and instead of quietly doing what they're supposed to, produce lots of infamous Outlook secret error codes for you to resolve. I don't have time for this kind of game.
Google calendar misses some functions, but as far as I am concerned, it synchronizes well all the events I put into S-Planner. It looks like there's a problem in your setup. Do you have automatic data synchronization turned on on your Android phone? Do you synchronize while connected to WiFi? Or maybe your data transfer is somehow blocked when on 3G network?
I do have data sync on and sync via wifi. Good point I will change this. May do a hard reset as I am not using as my main phone yet, just trying to get everything stable before I transfer. Shame about all this though as it is a great phone.
Thanks for your help.
This may help re the search crashes in S-Planner - I noticed this as well, immediately after a recent firmware update. Before that, S-Planner search worked fine. I plan to register with Samsung and raise a ticket or ask a question - the more of us that register and complain, the quicker it will be fixed, so I'd encourage you to do the same.
Further to the search crash. It's tied to the Google Calendar (that S-Planner interacts with). Called Samsung New Zealand for support and what a surprise, they didn't even want to talk to me about the problem. Figured it out for myself with the help of a little forum searching - it seemed that that the calendar cache was conflicting with the firmware update. Backed up data, forced the calendar to close from Manage Applications, rebooted, and now the search works fine - I've run about 5 searches and all seems good so far. Re syncing with Outlook - I sync using Kies with Outlook 2007, no problems so far.
Logged a query with samsung and just done a factory reset and now have Kies installed on my PC. It wont sync with outlook 2002 contacts or schedule get message "an error has occurred attempting to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt"
Looking on forums there seems to be a problem with kies or I dont know if it is a problem with outlook 2002. I could upgrade to 2003 (I like the week view of 2002) then the google sync software would work hopefully for the outlook to google calendar? Idealy just want reliable local sync from outlook to Note, just like with my iphone to weekcal (sorry to say the iphones looking like gods gift at the moment).
Hopefully ICS will put all this right.
Simple answer for you - I use outlook for work all day and I sync using myphonexplorer. It does more than just sync, install programs allows you to text via laptop etc. Best of all its free - syncs via wifi or usb or bluetooth. Its nothing short of perfect for my needs. Syncs contacts, notes, diary etc
Same issue for me with ActiveSync.
While I was on GB no matter what application I used the sync never happened. The application just pops a message that the server refused the connections or some thing of the sort. After a few searches I found out that my Org's mail policies are on stricter side and they do not allow syncing on certain androids unless they support encryption. As Samsung has not implemented it, I had to check my mails on webmail.
But looks like even ICS is a disappointment on this front. I flashed an ICS ROM and checked, but no luck on MS EAS
Jorte Calendar?
This maybe not be germane to all your problems, but I struggled with the native Samsung calendar / tasks app to sync properly - especially with the widget view.
I switched to Jorte Calendar. It syncs perfectly AFAICT with Google calendar, has great tasks support and about a million different customisable widget views.
Unfortunately, searching appears to be its Achilles' heel... which I guess for you means its no go.
On the PC end, I have switched to Em Client. All so far is syncing fine. Note, tablet, PC, cloud; calendar & contacts.
Could not get myexplorer app utility to work either. Got duplicates of calendar appointments (total of 5000 appointments twice !)
Restored from back up and now still have no
Appointments , events on my note.
Taking too much of my time up.
Still using iPhone for general day to day.
One thing I have noticed though is how much battery my note has in reserve after getting rid of apps, like battery saver, juice defender etc. Ironic really.
