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.

Hey - thanks for the tip there. The Microsoft one does have a few issues so perhaps this will sort them out! Cheers dude!
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
I've spent a couple of hours looking at the big photo sharing sites but I'm sort of confused as to which one I should go with. I'm mainly going to use it to share photos with friends and family. Nothing public. I've looked at the following sites:
Flickr
Windows Live Photos
Picasa Web Albums
Photobucket
My ISP's own photo sharing.
Here is my criteria:
1. When inviting friends, they should not have to sign up before viewing photos. Most will not bother signing up. I should be able to send them a link via email and then when they click on it, it should just bring them to the gallery.
2. When I upload new photos or update an album, the site should automatically notify my friends and family via email that something has changed.
3. Possibly have friends upload their own photos to the same album or new album. I could create a public user id on that site so that my friends and family can log in using that account. Rather than creating an account of their own. Couple this with #2 above, I think it would work well.
Can somebody recommend a photo sharing site that can do this or anything that is close enough to the criteria above?
Thanks in advance.
you wanna so much
maybe if you have a server and make your own you can give all this offer to your friends.
I use both flickr, ms photo sharing and googles Picasa
all of them are free and works for my needs
I've decided to use Windows Live Services because it does most of what I need... and also because I have a hotmail account. Those of my friends that have live or hotmail accounts can be on my "network" and they receive updates of new photos that get uploaded by me and vice versa. they can comment on my photo and I've given them permission to upload their own photos - like when we go out to a dinner party and they have pics of me, they can upload it to my album.
Those that don't have a live/hotmail account are still able to view my album, but they will not be able to add additional photos.
With the addition of Windows Live Photo Gallery, I don't even need to open a browser to upload photos, I can do it all from within that app. I found that it uploads to flickr accounts too.
Nice, I think Microsoft has done a decent job with these Live services.
with the program gladinet cloud desktop
you can access your live dirs such as photo sharing as a drive
Z in my computer
I use that to easy navigate files around using total commander

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.
This might sound obvious, but have you tried facebook?
So many people have a facebook account these days that you shouldn't particularly need to worry about them having to sign up just to view your photos, and it should do everything else you need.
Alternatively, flickr is probably your next best bet.

Actually, yes, I've tried facebook. The problem with it is that I haven't figured out how to share photos with specific people (like family only). If I upload some pictures of my kids, it seems like your entire friend list can view these photos. Not good considering that I have some friends who are just acquaintances.
I've been playing around with Windows Live and the more I use it the more I'm liking it. The Windows Live Photo Gallery (an install to your PC) makes uploading photos so easy. Also, the web interface for Windows Live Services looks very good... unlike Google's.
The one thing that I love about Windows Live Photos is that you can share photos with people who are not a part of Windows Live. You basically send out a specialised URL to an email address and that person just clicks it to view the photo gallery. People who are on Windows Live and are a part of your network have even more options. They get instant updates on when you add photos or comment on a photo. Not only this, Windows Live is about permissions. When you setup an album, you have several options on who you want to share it with and what they can do with it (ie. upload their own photos). I don't think anyone else has this kind of functionality.
The other thing that I just discovered with Windows Live is that if you have a camera phone (who doesn't nowadays) and you have a data plan, you can actually upload photos to specific albums from your phone. All you do is enable the feature in Windows Live and for each album assign a keyword + secret word. This keyword+secretword combination makes up a unique email address. Hence, once you've taken the photo, just email it to the unique email address and it gets put into your album automatically and instantly. All the people on your network will get notified of a new photo. That's pretty neat...
Microsoft has really done a good job with their Live services.... now, if only they could get the Live calendar to sync to my WM device OTA... then I would consider becoming a MS fanboy.
ckl...that's very good info on windows live! I'll check it out since it sounds a lot more flexible than the Flickr I'm using...
I've always been a big fan of Picasa. It's one of the Google services that's being integrated with mobile devices along with PC and Mac platforms. So not only do you have online access, but also mobile/desktop access. I likey :].
Hi all. Got my HD7 few days ago and can't find out how to export my phone contact list to SIM. There is the import function (to import contacts from SIM to phone) but is there the export function?
Does not exist. There was a nice Sim Manager in previous versions of Windows Mobile but it's missing in WP7. Even my iPhone had this feature missing and yes.. finally "there's an app for that" in the iPhone world.
Hopefully it's also an app for this Phone OS that will be coming. Some times (not all the time) I don't want to carry around my HTC HD7. Being able to export contacts to Sim allows for another phone to be used and still have all your phone# you might need.
or you could store your new contacts as windows live contacts so they are stored online and they can be imported to any WP7 phone. not perfect but one solution.
Yes... that would work but some of us have an older phone (candy bar style) as a back up or for travel (not use carrier data plan abroad). Not being able to transfer all contacts to sim would be an issue. I sure hope all the good things about previous Windows Mobile are brought over to WP7. Even some nice features of the iPhone should be implemented too.
I will say though... going to the cloud for data is fantastic. The idea would be to have access to all your info no matter what phone/internet device/appliance is being used. As I understand it Microsoft is really pushing for Laptop/Phone/TV as the interface. Just image being able to logon to any internet enabled device in the world, make a phone call, send email, Instant Messege or SMS, watch movie/TV all from your "Live" account. One day it will be possible !
I honestly could care less about this function unless they improve sim cards.
1. Names tend to get chopped off
2. Different "contact" for every number each contact has (1 for mobile, 1 for home, etc)
3. No other info makes it across (address, email addy, etc), at least on t-mobile
Now, if they improved the sim cards to actually store the contact the way its stored on the phone, then I could see it as a valuable thing.
HD7 cant export contacts to SIM
Hi
Leading on from earlier reply to this thread. What are the steps to
or you could store your new contacts as windows live contacts so they are stored online and they can be imported to any WP7 phone. not perfect but one solution.
Can you export the contacts on the phone to windows live account in one go or is it a case of manually creating a contact in windows live for each entry in the phone book on the phone
My contacts in my phone book have lot of detail in them. Emails, addresses, multiple phone numbers, notes, etc so having to manually type all of these into a windows live contact is going to take forever and is real pain
Also, what are the steps/instructions to follow to then import these contacts from windows live to windows 7 phone
Thanks
o wow im so disapointed that i cant back up my contacts to my sim card i realy hope a talented dev will address this issue with some new application
im t-mobel us!
i did store my contacts online but thats not going to fix the probums im about to face when the next update hits
we realy need a fix for this
Export contacts to sim is a must!!!!
Sync WP7 HD7 contacts
I have added new contacts directly in the phone but they were not sync to windows live. How can I sync manually? or How can I force the sync of all my contacts? Can I perform a general contact backup?
Thanks!
boooooooooooooooo
I'm a programmer and I'll have a go at implementing something. It may be the case, however, that it's just not possible to gain access to the sim from the WP7 API.
The reason I need to do this, is that I don't want to take my expencive WP7 phone hillwalking (can be very wet where I live) so I bought a cheap and cheerful candy bar phone for outdoor activities. I'd rather not type in a heap of contacts though if I can help it.

After some digging around I see that it's not possible. The WP7 API doesn't provide any access to the sim card. You can but a sim card writer very cheaply though. Maybe one of those can integrate with Windows Live contacts. Probably not.
contacts transfer
u can transfer ur contacts using Nokia contacts transfer app for any unlocked wp7 via bluetooth

If you've set up a windows live account, and have it on the phone as well, contacts and calendar are automatically backed up to windows live every time it syncs... go to the email settings and make sure the windows live account is scheduled to sync and not set to manual sync.
I flash my phone all the time and windows live always syncs my phone contacts and calendar back without loosing anything.
Hi all,
I just unplugged my sim from my X1 silver, and plugged it into my HD7. and then, after two hours...
1. how do you actually sync your phone contacts from ms outlook 2007 to it? I tried downloading zune, but nothing. The freakin' thing doesn't even have a manual.
2. I thought I won't encounter a problem since it's HTC and since it's WM7, and since my PC is win7 x64. But oh boy, this is getting in my nerves.
3. WM7 doesn't know how find a hidden (SSID) WIFI. I mean,.. Dang!
compared to any wm phones, just plug the hell into your pc, get wmdc, and then voila. 5 minutes tops.
XD
WP7 is indeed a different bird from WM. Hidden SSID is a known limitation, and hopefully gets addressed with the coming update.
I assume your outlook is not connected to exchange? If so, piece of cake, if not, you'll likely prefer (or not) to use a hotmail connector for outlook. This essentially creates a cloud-based sync.
Oh, and the manual is inside the box in a little pocket.
I managed to upload my msoutlook 2007 contacts to the cloud using OC32bit. almost a piece of cake. But, I'm having a hard time getting it to my phone.
When I try to add an account, it says windows live account is already added. but when I tap people. There nothing in the contacts list. None.
When I try to login to windows live via pc I can see all the contacts from there.
I... just hate it.
Talk about innovation, talk about the future. XD
Use Outlook connector and a hotmail account and everything works perfectly.
Hi,
Thanks! I manage to do it now. After spending a night my phone book has everything on it now(contacts wise). Too lazy to repeat it for calendar, lastly, I missed activesync so much that even your one note syncs to your wm.
I'm having thoughts on returning the phone and getting the android version (desire or X10) because of these:
1. hd7 only installs apps on what windows wants and not what YOU want.
2. it doesn't support pdf file for book reading, document reading.
3. I heard it doesn't open .doc .xls and any lower .doc files. (old docs still exist today unconverted)
4. I can't put files on the phone "ala USB flash disk style" I mean where's the plug drag and go, when you use the phone business wise. how do you intend to use the 16G space? (for movies or music; given the rumored battery life?)
Everything we do on our wm phones aren't easy to do on this wp7 anymore, I haven't reviewed at it before I grabbed my HD7 since I said to myself what do I have to worry about? I have grown from WM5, WM6 and WM6.1, what could go wrong?
I dunno I mean I hope I'm not babbling, I can't google if i don't open pocket ie and type google, I can't install opera, I can't browse flash sites I mean, youtube isn't the only streaming video out there. I can't install my garmin mobile xt, I can't install java app, I can't explore the contents of my phone. I mean this is freakin' alien windows i'm using. I don't even know if I can find my phone on over the local area (win7) network or homegroup.
With all the "I can'ts" I said. I thought I'd better off android!. XD
1. hd7 only installs apps on what windows wants and not what YOU want.
If you mean the app store is limited, yes it is. It's growing though.
2. it doesn't support pdf file for book reading, document reading.
Download the Adobe Reader from Marketplace. Free.
Haven't tried #3.
4. I can't put files on the phone "ala USB flash disk style" I mean where's the plug drag and go, when you use the phone business wise. how do you intend to use the 16G space? (for movies or music; given the rumored battery life?)
Zune. It's just a matter of figuring it out. It's different, to be sure. They also want you to utilize cloud based storage more. The offer free SkyDrive space included with your live account, and most of the MS apps can access that space. Other apps, like the eBook reader Freda, can connect to a DropBox account. Then there is Sharepoint.
I can't google if i don't open pocket ie and type google
Open up IE then press the capacitive Search button. Instantly takes you to Google.
I just found there's a google app in the markeplace too? and yes it grows every hour, its almost endless... pretty neat!
If you say it's just a matter of figuring it out, I hope I can figure it out with an option NOT to upload it on a cloud, since c'mon not all places in the world have super fast internet connection, I don't want uploading an entire folder up there then downloading it to my device.
And even if the chevron thing would work on my device, It would void my warranty so I wouldn't try.
After 2 days with my new phone, I feel much more comfortable with it now. I hope it would get even better.
Gotta follow this up since I don't want to start another similar thread.
I have another question:
The phone contacts (people) always have you on top named "Me"
question is, How do you actually link a contact to "Me"?
I just noticed it now that somebody asks for my bank account and of course, I'll look for it in my notes within my ms outlook contact under my name. I just found out that my name in my hd7 doesn't have a picture and doesn't have a facebook link(not that the FB link is too important), etc. and when I click the link icon in the bottom middle, I can link it to any other contact entry in my phone except "Me".
Technically speaking, the contact named after me in my phone is treated as another person. I tried signing on to windows live, check my contact there, found my name and the options I have is "add as a friend" which is really beginning to sound funny.
Long story short, I need to link my ms outlook 2007 contact(myname) to the owner of the HD7 phone which is me, so I wouldn't retype everything and delete the synced "myname" account since if i do so that would be deleted in my PC. I gotta have 'em both. but I wish I just could link it to my phone's "Me" account.
That's a toughie.
So the "Me" contact syncs up with both your Windows Live account and your Facebook account (which you add in services --> email and accounts, NOT the blue facebook app)
I don't see a way to sync the Me contact with another outlook contact.
You may want to take the notes in your Outlook contact and copy them to your Live stuff.

that's dependant on carrier... I get yahoo, you could get the google search app from the market or pin google from IE to the start so you can launch straight to google.

Yeah, not the blue facebook app. and I think I'll just have to deal with it having two seperate accounts the Me, and my outlook unlinked.
@frontieruk
Speaking about the search button, it is getting annoying when you actually hit the button accidentally. I hope someday a double-press (double-click) fix would make it possible.
I had a similar experience except that I got the "Me" where it's suppose to be the first time. Learning little by little, I guess Hotmail (windows live) is actually kinda cool.

Haven't found anything in Marketplace that accomplishes this (OCR scanning business cards into contacts). I used to use WorldCard Moble on WM 6.5 - which was a sweet app. Anyone know if there's anything out there for WP7 yet?
there are some, i use ABBYY BCR
So easy and simple to store business card
When You get Business Card from partners, no need to keep the hardcopy ... Just Capture by CardFila and the store on Cloud server forever.
