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?

Kaiser vs Hermes

i used to have a Hermes but the screen got stepped on and so i upgraded my plan to the Kaiser, but i have a big problem. all my important numbers are on the Hermes. so i wanted to know if the LCD screens are compatible, can i just take the screen from my Kaiser and attach it to the motherboard of my Hermes long enough to put the numbers on my SIM? or should i just go pay some guy in hong kong on ebay the $60 for a new screen?
Thanks in advance

Can't you just sync the Hermes with the PC (no screen needed for that) and then sync the Kaiser?

u serious? just sync ur hermes with outlook and then sync ur kaiser...

outlook
i've tried that, outlook was never installed on my phone and for some reason it won't install now

You shouldn't need to install it on your phone, it comes with windows, it is the program that handles contacts and messages. what happens when you sync?

it asks what i want to sync and contacts is greyed out, it won't let me

U sure u have (office) outlook installd on ur PC ?
Had the same problem with sync with MS outlook, installd Office and problem gone....
Goodluck

i have office on my pc, and i'm trying to sync it with wmdc and my phone will not appear, i have the phone plugged in, and nothing

syncing should do it.. but if not, then no.. the kaiser and hermes have different screens.
Although, the WIZARD and HERMES take the same LCD, just not the KAISER.

use this http://www.mymobiler.com/
It will let you use the computer to see whats going on and u can use ur mosue to click on things.
Used it for the same reason u need it.
Good lcuk

I also had broken screen and used mymobiler to control the PDA from PCs screen mouse and keyboard.
If you are unable to install mymobiler through activesync, active sysnc at least lets you access the file system:
Copy a file called pim.vol to PC and then to new PDA,and there you have all your contacts,tasks, and appointments !

Do you already have your contacts sync'd with another computer?

nope this is the only computer i have ever owned, besides my old commadore but we don't need to go into that

I need a software..

Since I got my kaiser I always saved all my contacts as outlook. Lately I find myself using/testing different phones that are not necesarry WM. Is there a way to copy all your contacts phones on the sim card? Or some kind of interface between different softwares out there Nokia/Sony/Apple?
Thnx

just gonna say, this site is for WM users, specifically HTC device users. now as far as software that allows you to easily transfer contacts from phone to phone, your sim card, you need nothing else just keep all contacts on your SIM and you have your contacts on any phone you use

Thanks and I do appreciate your answer. I am aware xda site caters to WM devices. However I know some ppl here have more than one device and I did hope they know about some kind of soft.
Is there an easy way of transfering outlook contacts onto the sim card?

sim manager can copy all contacts to sim. Depending on the rom, sim manager should be in programs folder. hit menu -> contacts to sim.
if its a windows mobile to windows mobile contact transfer, a simple PIM backup, would do the job. (do a backup on contacts, logs, whatever you want and put that file onto the other wm device)
good luck!

thanks... that did the trick. I do feel stupid sometimes and this is one of those times.

Don't feel that way. I understand your question, and copying to SIM card does not solve your problem if you got more than 200 contacts right? Mine has 900 contacts with mobile phones, work phones, home phones, emails, etc, hence why I used WM device. It's getting overwhelming to manage if I use standard phone.

1st of all, you need a PC with MS Outlook installed.
Synchronize your WM device to PC's MS Outlook (don't ask me how to do this, okay). Then if you have Nokia, you have to install Nokia PC Suite, the latest version if possible (try search nokia website). After that, you sync your Nokia to your PC (using the USB data cable, if you don't have any, find one) also to MS Outlook. So you kind of making MS Outlook as your central repository.
With this I believe you can sync to any phone, provided that the phone has ability to do syncing, has the USB data cable, and has the sync software that can do sync to MS Outlook. That's all the prerequisites, AFAIK. And I can tell you that most synch-er apps is at least compatible with MS Outlook.
It's different story if you use something else, such as: Lotus Notes or whatnots. Then it will be very difficult.
There, hope it helps.

[Help]Retrieve contact list.

Hey, I have a problem.
I want all my contacts from my Diamond on my pc, so I can put them on my new phone.
Now, I don't have outlook, and can't download it (I'm on smallband, 3kb/s for the win)
My question was, is there anywhere a small application that can retrieve them for me, or are the contacts somewhere in the HTC directory?
Thanks in advance!

if the other phone is a win mobile too use pimbackup

Two very important questions

1. I have contacts on my X1, and on my PC (Outlook).
I make a sync - will all of the contacts appear on my X1 and PC
I mean all of the PC ones on X1, and all from X1 on PC?
So contact is lost in that process?
2. What happens when one takes out the memory card out of X1?
And puts it back?
Will all the programs installed on card work normally?

Question nr.2
For the 2 question when i take out memory card and put it back nothing changed,all apps on storage card work ok. I have 2gb card with garmin navigation,and other items.
For 1 question cant answer because i dont have outlook.
My os is windows 7 for the time.

Ok, thank you too.
Hopefully somebody DOES sync.
I actually came to the idea I remove all of the contacts, notes etc. from PC and run Sync. Hope to see all the data copied to my PC!

I SYNC!
I think it will merge the two sets of people it will add to both - but if there are any overlaps it will either ask you or there is a setting which is under Mobile Device Center which says "Overwrite contacts from X1 or PC" or something like that - although i have had someproblems with outlook where when syncing it would randomly delete both from my phone and x1 but luckily outlook has a recycle bin like feature.
Hope this anwers your question

Okay looks like my answer!
Thanks!

Done this lots of times and yes, Activesync on the PC will prompt you whether you want to merge or overwrite the data - which then applies for all your Outlook data inc. contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. If you choose to merge, AS should work out which is the most recent record when encountering exact duplicates and ditch the oldest one.
But from experience if your data is important to you I STRONGLY recommend that you do a backup of your PC Outlook data first (e.g. by exporting all to a new PST file), and also on the handheld with the excellent and free PIM Backup application, before you connect the two together. Otherwise you may end up with lots of duplications (or worse, unseen deletions), which can be an absolute nightmare to sort out.
PIM backup is also useful for keeping your essential data safe on your SD card should you need to hard reset the phone while you're away from your PC.

Just to add to that - you could also use Microsofts MyPhone service - at least that is what i have been using to store data online so there is even less chance of it being lost

Guys I really appreciate your help.
I already have PPCPimBackup,
I just wanted to be sure I understand the sync.
Right now I want to delete all contacts on my Outlook,
and sync this with X1 so all data from X1 will be copied there.
The reason is that I previously sync'd my other smartphone,
P1 on Symbian/UIQ with Outlook (to have all my contacts on X1)
but it made loose all "+" in all contacts lol.
So I manually put all "+" on X1 contacts and now want to just put it on Outlook too without a hassle....

Don't restore the PPCPimBackup contacts unless you have to. i.e lost contacts on X1 & Outlook.
I did a hard restart and it sync'd the contacts from Outlook like it should via ActiveSync. Then I restored a PPCPimBackup backup and ended up with two of every contact on the X1 and in Outlook. :/
