I seem to be having problems getting a reliable sync of my contacts in MS Outlook and my Tilt. Before switching to Vista, Active Synce would always sync my contacts, but with Vista it seems like it's hit or miss. Sometime I add numbers to my phone and they aren't added to my contacts in Outlook. I have the settings on WMDC set to overwrite the phone if there is a conflict, but I thought if I made a change to the phone, it would change it in Outlook. Has anyone else had this problem?
Sync
Have you upgraded to WMDC 6.1 ?
Other than that no I have had Zero issues
yep, I'm on 6.1...
thanks

Im having problems syncing my wing with outlook 2007. I never had this problem when using outlook 2003. It would go through the whole sync process, but nothing will sync except notes. No contacts, calender or tasks. Im using active sync 4.5 . I get the support code 8007000e which says my device doesnst have enough memory to sync?? Ive never had this problem before.
Well the herald does have a memory problem, and Ii have seen quite a few ROMS with memory leaks also, (multiple instances of phone opened for example) seems like the obvious that you should edit your pagepool to allow for more program memory if you have not done so already.
yah my pagepool is at 6 right now. I dont understand why its happening now and was fine before i installed outlook 07
Is outlook installed on a XP machine or on a vista ?
outlook is installed on a xp machine
my friend is running outlook 2007 on a vista pc, i have never heard him talk about this problem ...
I had to run an 8mb page pool for active sync to work ok with my exchange server. Even after a soft reset it complained about memory when it was set to a 6mb page pool.
I actually found out the problem. Apparently theres a problem with activesync where you cant have notes with your appointments. Doesnt make sense but once i deleted my appointment that had a note attached it worked fine. Weird???

Hmm, weird. I've never had the problem and I use Office 2007 with XP, but then again I don't have any appointments with notes on them. When I get back to work (shortly) I will add a note to a calendar appointment and see if I can duplicate the problem.
**** ok, tried this. I added notes on the appointment itself and had no issues. Did you mean you 'attached' a note to the appointment? Or just added notes in the provided spots on the appointments?
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.

help
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?
this is driving me nuts... first off the specs:
phone:
t-mobile wing
windows mobile 6 pro ce 5.2.1235 build 17740.0.2.0
factory settings (just got done clearing back to defaults)
computer:
xp pro 64 bit
outlook 2003
outlook connector synced to hotmail account
active sync 4.5
now the problem:
outlook has total control over my contacts... when i make changes to contacts in my phone, they get erased by the outlook contacts when i resync my phone to my computer... basically, if i want to have a number changed in my phone, i have to do it in outlook and sync it...
when i try to go to the sync settings, the option to change the direction is grayed out and i can't change anything... otherwise i would have my phone sync to my computer and not the other way around...
i have removed all partnerships, uninstalled and reinstalled outlook and active sync, defaulted my phone back to day 1, etc etc etc... how do i get this setting back from the dead???
thanks in advance,
bennie

I have seen others with a similar issue around here, I would run a quick search for their issue threads to see if they got a resolution, cant remember for sure myself.
Also might try the T-Mobile Wing forum as they migth have a more specific solution to the phone, but I dont think its the phone itself I think its windows being flakey again

Fixed a few issues for me...

Try sync the other way around. push the sync button on your mobile device. Not the sync button on your pc.
That should work
for some reason since yesterday i couldnt sync with my laptop running vista anymore...it connects..and under wmdc it says connected but when it trys to sync the sync center just says sync failed...i've searched around and played around with the settings..such as unchecking the usb to PC box..the enable advanced network...i've tried deleting and re-creating a new partnership and it still wouldnt sync..now my phone has no contacts appointments in the calender but its all on my laptop...
edit: i am able to send files back and forth and use the file explorer...just cant get it to sync
any other settings i should look at?
i've read another thread that looked into the wifi which i did and had no success..
any other ideas?
edit: i'm playing around with what to sync..and its for some reason contaccts and calender it wont sync...if i uncheck those and just check lets say...mobile favs under wmdc...it'll sync no problem...i wonder whats causing this?
edit:still playing around with no advance..but for some reason if i just go to the calender or contact on the phone it freezes...maybe that has to do with it not syncing..because mobile favs n notes are syncing
Same here
I am having a similar problem. As far as I can tell mine sync's but I still get an error at the end. Not sure what isn't syncing.
I have the same problem but only with Contacts. Calendar and tasks sync normally. I'm using an original ROM WM6.0 in a Kaiser. and ActiveSync 4.5 with Outlook XP in a Windows XP SP3 machine (Works fine in my other computer with the same configuration). Do you know about a possible cause?
Not much help but I think I remember seeing threads somewhere that talked about sync problems due to corrupt calender/contacts files either on the pc or the device. Also I think it's temperamental about where your contacts etc are stored.
Hi,
I have a laptop running WinXP Sp3 office 2007.
Trying to sync with my diamond touch with Active Sync (AKA - "AS") It fails to sync some of the contacts while it syncs the rest of them... with no particular reason !
Can anyone give me a better sync software than the carapy MS AS ?
Thanks.
Daniel
Do you use iContact or another Software like this?
Try one: Save your last Folders of synchronisation.
Then turn it of - everything.
The do synchronisation again (and so without contacts).
then activate your former things to synchronize, with contacts, too.
I had the same problem - and this worked for me.
