Contacts not syncing on Tytn II - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

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...

ActiveSync & Contact Categories

All,
I have recently installed TuMa1.3 ROM and have noticed that when using ActiveSync 4.1 I cant sync my contacts by categories like I could when using 2003SE, does anyone know why this is?
Thanks

contacts and categories in wm5
I wish I knew the logic to this omission. I use a common database on outlook 2002 for all of my contacts for the family including my business ones. My wife and two daughters also have windows phones. When they sync they only get the contacts relevent to them. This was a really good feature. Under wm5 this has been lost and i need to know if there is a real workaround. Also applies to calender items aswell. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance

PIM management (Agenda One?) + sync with Google Calendar / Gmail

Dear all,
I have my new TyTN II since a few hours, and I'm already looking for a better PIM software than the default WM2006 apps. I need to manage my schedule (w/ several sub calendars such as work, personal, etc..), my tasks, and my contacts. I absolutely need to sync my schedule with Google Calendar. Syncing my contacts with my GMail address book would also be nice.
So, here comes my two questions:
1. I found Agenda One, which has a very positive feedback on most forums. Is there another comparable PIM suite that I should take into account ? If any, what are the main differences and your own preference/experience ?
2. I heard about OggSync, syncmycal, pocketgcal, gcalendarsync and Goosync and GMobileSync to sync with google calendar. I don't know if there are others, and I don't know which one is the best. Do you have some advices ?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Aurélien.
PS: Paying for licence is not a problem as long as the software is working well

Syncing issue - so many contacts, how to clean up?

Im a new owner to the kaiser and am using one of dutys latest 6.1 roms.
The first problem i have/had is when i synced my phone to my PC for the first time. It took all of my MSN & e-mail contacts and added them to my contacts list on my phone. As i didnt want them there, i deleted them all. Not realising it, the next time i plugged my phone into my PC and synced it, it deleted all my MSN contacts off my PC (oops). Either way iv got over this and am in the process of trying to re-add everyone.
Now however, i find iv still got a lot of old contacts that i just dont want anymore in my contacts list on my phone.
Is there anyway to split the contacts up, so that when i send a txt or a call all i see is the contacts on my sim card, and not a list 3 times as long that includes peoples e-mail address and stuff like that? Then, if i do want to send an e-mail i can use another tab and see a list of all my contats that include an e-mail address?
cheers guys
any advice or ways around it?

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.

Double Outlook Calendar Entries

Greets,
I have been living with this for a while, and hope someone can help.
Each time I flash a ROM or reformat my home computer, my first sync with my Tilt doubles all calendar entries. SIM contacts are hidden/off ... this has to do with the phone thinking the outlook contents are new to sync.
Does anyone have any idea how to keep this from happening?
Thanks!
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem, annoying in the extreme.
I use the MyPhone service (free) at http://myphone.microsoft.com and this has a Remove Duplicates feature after you have sync'd your Calendar with it. It also does Contacts if ever that become a problem.
Seems to work well and I have recently used it to restore my MDA after a ROM upgrade to check it works.
Hope that helps
John
I have had all contacts double before but not anything else.
