Xda2i not syncing with outlook calendar

Hi. I'm new to this and would appreciate any help given.
Device info.
Xda2i
ROM version 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date 01/27/05
Radio 1.00.00
Protocol 1337.39
ExtROM 1.11.169 WWE
Running Windows Mobile 2003 SE
ActiveSync 4.2
Everything was working fantastic for a while then all of a sudden only calendar won't sync w/ my outlook 2003 while everything else does. Did a hard reset and calendar came back. Started reinstalling programs then all of a sudden calendar won't sync again.
Prior to not sync malfunction, this is what I saw: -
In cradle, everything was peachy keen
Pulled O2 off cradle then saw "Calendar initialising" message on the XDA
Schedules that were there suddenl;y disappeared.
Put O2 back in cradle then partnership disappeared
Deleted old partnership
Everything else sync's except Calendar
Calendar under options in ActiveSync (on PC) – does not have a check-box next to it
Having performed the laborious task of hard re-set, delete partnership etc. I have discovered that this problem only seems to occur when the PDA is synced with an active sim card present. If I sync in flight mode then it works fine. Only when I enter SIM PIN to activate sim and then sync, does the problem re-surface.
I noticed that someone else has posted a problem similar to this already (under blue angel) but no replies yet.
Any ideas anyone???????????
Regards
Shaun

I have the same issue it is to do with Blackberry Connect: Here is an Email I got form O2 Support:
Hello,
Thank you for your email,
We are aware that with the new ROM for the XDA 2i which includes Blackberry, you cannot synchronise the calendar via Activesync. We are currently awaiting a fix from the manufacturers of the software, and we shall communicate when this is available.
We are expecting a permanent fix for the problems in the coming weeks, however until then we have an interim which works so long as the device is not soft reset, has battery power, and the BlackBerry software is not stopped/restarted.After the BB service has started (either for the first time or after a reset), do the following:
After the BB service has started (either for the first time or after a reset), do the following:
1) Connect the device to the desktop.
2) Disconnect the device from the desktop. At this point the BB service will disable ActiveSync Calendar and delete the ActiveSync partnership from the device.
3) Start the BlackBerry settings app (Start->Settings->System->BlackBerry).
4) Tap the PIM tab at the bottom of the screen.
5) Tap the Calendar checkbox (to enable it).
6) Tap "OK" to the warning popup message box.
7) Tap "OK" to the "PIM Synchronization" popup message box.
8) Tap the Calendar checkbox again (to disable it).
9) Tap "OK" to the warning popup message box.
10) Tap "OK" to the "PIM Synchronization" popup message box. At this point the Calendar is able to be synchronized again through ActiveSync.
11) Exit the BlackBerry settings application.
12) Reconnect the device to the desktop.
13) Recreate the ActiveSync partnership and enable ActiveSync Calendar synchronization.
NOTE: If the device is soft reset via pressing the stylus in the reset hole, the battery goes flat or the BB service is restarted via pressing the restart button under BB settings, these steps will have to be repeated again.

I had the same problem when I first installed Raspberry. I got the same email from o2 tech support as well. Now syncing the calendar and Raspberry.
Bigballs - cheers for the contact number. Spoke to them and they sorted out the tariff change with a couple of days.

Wow I wish I had read this BEFORE formatting my harddisk to reinstall Outlook and doing another Hard Reset of my XDA IIs. But at least everything works now
Thanks BigBalls

Is Windows Live working for anyone on Tilt or TyTnII????

Does anyone have Windows Live working correctly on their Tilt or TyTn II????
UPDATE 01/15/2008
Ok I am resurrecting this issue as I still can not get any version of Windows Live to run reliably on my Tilt! Does anyone have a .cab install of WL (any version) that pushes Hotmail consistently????
Original Post:
I have been trying to get Windows Live working on my Tilt for the past 72 hours and I am totally stumped.
I have been able to sync my email, contacts and even log on to messenger, but for some reason Windows Live keeps getting stuck in the Checking Internet connectivity step on the sync screen. When I soft reset my Tilt, WL will keep saying Checking Internet connectivity until I force a send and receive. It then throws up a sync error (with no error message), but appears to successfully sync. Then it sometimes pushes email as it should for a few minutes, but then gets stuck in Checking Internet connectivity again.
I had this issue running the stock HTC ROM and austinsync's BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM on my Tilt. I have used the At&t connection settings from HTC Connection Setup tool both Media Net (w/ and w/ out Proxy) and ISP.Cingular. I have also used a Cingular Network Cab file that I used with my 8525.
All other applications are getting internet connections no problem (including Live Search - the mapping program).
I have tried messing with the GPRS Always on Reg tweaks [ HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-}\Connections\|gprs connection name (my Isp/MediaNet} \AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal) ] , but that has not fixed the problem.
I have tried WL versions 10.6.0033.600 and 10.6.32.2100 along with whatever version came on the HTC stock ROM.
Does anyone have Windows Live working on their Kaiser??? If so, what Device, ROM, and Carrier are you using??

So no one has Windows Live working correctly on a Kaiser????
I have been using WL version 10.6.0033.600 on my Hermes with no problem at all. I even spent the last hour pouring over the registry of my 8525 and comparing it to the Tilt, but I could really use some help looking for a solution.

mines is working.. I'm using a Kaiser with BigStorage w/ PIE fix ROM with T-mobile service.. It was working with stock rom also.. I've used stock windows live and Windows Live 10.6.32.2100.. both worked fine.

So WL is working fine on T-mobile(US??). I am really starting to think this is an issue with the At&t network/proxy.
Anyone on At&t network have WL working correctly??
edit
By working correctly, I actually mean Pushing emails as they arrive. I am able to manually pull emails down, but I am trying to get the WL push email functionality working on the Tilt over At&t.

I am using build 10.6.32.2100 on AT&T with a Tilt and everything including push email is working for me. I am running the HTC ROM.

Did you use the HTC Connection Setup tool to configure your network settings, or enter them manually? Also, are you using the proxy or is it disabled?

If you look through these forums, there's a pretty long thread of people who have issues with their device not waking up to pull down emails.
In short, if you turned off your screen by tapping the side power button (instead of letting the screen turn off on its own), the device will not reliably wake up for either timed email pulls or push email.
I discovered this with push Hotmail - never had a successful push with the device manually hibernated, but push worked fine if the device was on.
I stopped using Windows Live because it had LOTS of issues when the device was in an area with bad/no coverage, it would make my Tilt EXTREMELY sluggish and unresponsive with that little color wheel appearing every few seconds if I had login information recorded and the phone was not in good coverage. Windows Live even pulled the phone out of flight mode to try and make a connection at least once, I wouldn't want that happening on a plane!

I let the network wizard setup the connection but edited the ISP connection to use the wap.cingular access point. Windows Live works for me with either the medianet w/ proxy or the isp connection

Yeah WL is definitely not the most reliable application to begin with, but I finally had it working like a charm with my 8525 runnning vp3G's ROMs.
Now on the Tilt I can't even get it to push email when the device is on and has a full connection.
The fact that WL is constantly stuck in the Checking Internet Connectivity step leads me to believe that there is some issue with WL opening up my Data connection on the Tilt. I have absolutely no issue connecting with PIE or Live Search.
Unfortunately I use Windows Live to manage all my emails and contacts, so I am pretty much stuck with trying to make it work on the Tilt or take it back.

I have the stock rom for the tytn 2, nothing altered, and my WL works without any problems when set as push mail and disdplay as full html format, if using it in hotmail, the ppc will default it to a simplified version.

Windows Live Search working fine on my Tilt reflashed to HTC on ATT

I am also having the problem with it grabbing my email as it comes in.

same here. no problems.

WL is not even letting me log on! It says my user name or password is incorrect and its not because I checked by logging on in hotmail.com on my desktop.

just to clarify, I am having connection problems with Windows Live, the hotmail/messenger application, NOT Live Search the mapping application available from wls.live.com .
I have been having much better luck with Push email coming through since using the Connection Setup tool again to reset my network settings and disabling the Media Net proxy. Hopefully this keeps up tomorrow.

is it possible to have window live to push FEW email accounts at the same time?

is this in the push mail message section, did you set it up manually or automatic?
either way it's won't work, even if you put in all the correct settings. You will need to go into the start/program then click the windows live icon and set up from there and have ticked the sync email, once completed setting, you will need to log into msn messager, then soft reset afterwards.
now window live hotmail should show up in the push mail section.
after many trys and error, i can confirmed it works for me.
hope this helps.

All I did was select the WL icon and then log on.
Im not sure what you mean by sync mail and so on.
Ive done this:
Start > programs > windows live (icon) > clicked on Sign in to Windows Live > Accept user agreement (I do) and then at the screen where I need to input my user and password I get the error about mismatched username and/or password.
The Options and Account options menus are grayed out (not able to select).
I get this error
Sign-in Failure
Either the user name or the password you entered is invalid. Please try again.

@CorruptedSanity
I metioned this in another thread, but are you sure you have the correct keypad layout?
For example if you have a Tilt and flashed an HTC Rom, your keyboard layout will not match the letters/symbols printed on your keyboard. The same would be true if you flashed a TyTn II with a Tilt Rom. You could check by typing your password into pocket Word and making sure it is correct.
The only other thing I can think of is to make sure your date and time is set correctly. Windows Live has some issues logging on if the date and time on your device do not match the WL Server.
What ROM are you running?

Did not flash my rom! Straight out of the box TyTN II (unlocked).
Ive been typing a whole lot and nothing seems out of place.
How do I know which time WL is on?
How do I check which rom im running?

Anyone got more than one Windows Live folder synchronising on data connection?!

I'm having a different problem to the standard 'Live not working' that I've seen here! I'm on T-Mobile in the UK so grabbed the latest Live cab and installed on my default ROM.
I've got two probs...
I can't get more than one folder to synchronise in Live?!?
Live ALWAYS uses the data connection even when my LAN is available
Firstly... push mail worked fine initially, but then I set up a couple of new folders on my Live inbox....and now it freezes every time it tries to sync over the data connection. I added the folders via web login, then went to 'manage folders' option on the phone and selected my new folders for synchronising. I've got it on manual sync these days as I don't like the 'always on' connection
Anyway, with a single Inbox folder, sync worked fine, now with three folders it ALWAYS freezes up with the progress icon spinning....if I look in the folder list view I can see the little sync symbol next to the new folders but it just fails. No error message, no info, it just sits there doing nothing (I checked GPRS monitor, it's really doing nothing
So secondly...Tried connecting wirelessly over my WLAN and no luck, the email sync still initiates the data connection. When I used the Live icon in the programs menu, WLAN sync will correctly use the available wireless connection, but the 'messaging' app in the phone ALWAYS defaults to the data connection.
Is this because its the same messaging service that supports SMS/MMS or something else?
Cheers for any thoughts, hope I'm being an idiot!!!

I have been having issues with Windows Live ever since upgrading from my Hermes to the Tilt. But I am still able to successful sync more than one folder (that is, if the WL syncs at all). I just added two new folders to sync, same process you followed, and despite WL giving me a "sync failed" message, they both synced fine.
I am using At&t running WL version 10.6.0033.0600 on austinsync's BigStorage Rom
As for the WL over WLAN, my experience has been, the only way WL will sync over WLAN is if there is no other data connection available. Try turning your phone off in the comm manager and seee if WL connects over WiFi then.

MSN Live spotty at best

Anyone know why the hotmail push seems to be spotty to my phone. I will get 2 or 3 in a row, then either go 7-8 messages without receiving them, then all the sudden get them again.. or have to do a reset to get them it seems.
AT&T Tilt with windows live cab installed.
Tried several different versions of the cab, also still have that weird notification bug where it just keeps vibrating til i finally accept that I have a message sometimes.
Anyone ever come up with a fix for any of these?

No permanent solution to this issue has been found yet, however it most likely relates to the issue with the Kaiser not waking up to check email or play reminders.
I would recommend you follow the below thread for updates and try some of the suggested fixes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332362&page=6
I have not been able to get the Live push email working consistently on the Kaiser/Tilt at all. It worked no problem on my Hermes/8525.

Conversation with Windows Live Mobile Tech support
So I am getting really frustrated with my Windows Live Mail not working corretly on my Tilt and I decided to contact MS Tech support to see if there was anything they could recommend.
Below is the convo that I had back and forth with the Support Rep.
Windows Live Push email does not work on my HTC Kaiser Tytn II device.
In order for my Live Hotmail email to sync I have to manually initiate a sync, even though my settings are configured to deliver emails As items arrive. I have tried changing these settings around several times, but it does not make a difference.
Furthermore I receive multiple sync errors often, and most of the times when I delete an email on my device it fails to delete off the server.
I did not have these problems using Windows Live with my HTC Hermes Tytn running Windows Mobile 6.
I have also tried signing out of the Windows Live app and then signing in. I have Hard Reset my device (back to manufacturer default) and still experience the problems. I have also tried with NO 3rd party programs installed and still the push email does not sync correctly.
I have also tried different versions of the Windows Live app that are floating around the internet, such as 10.6.32.2100 and 10.6.33.600. Neither of these newer builds fixed my problem.
Is there a way to fix the issues I am having with Windows Live App push email functionality on the HTC Kaiser Tytn II?
RESPONSE 1
Thank you for contacting Windows Live Mobile Technical Support. My name is Teddy and I understand that you have issues synching your Live Hotmail on your HTC Kaiser Tytn II device. I apologize for the inconvenience. I appreciate the time you have taken to advise us of your experiences and I hope to offer as much assistance as possible.>
We have received reports from other customers experiencing similar contacts synchronization issues. Based on our investigation, this issue occurs when the Windows Live application in the device is having trouble synchronizing with the Messenger servers.
They were able to resolve this issue by doing the steps below:
A. Changing your saved Windows Live Messenger display picture.
Errors appear during synchronization when the server is experiencing difficulty fetching your saved Messenger display picture. To avoid this from happening, let's try to change your display picture to a default picture. To do this:
1. Sign in to Windows Live Messenger using a computer.
2. Change your display picture to a default picture.
3. Try to sign again on your mobile device.
B. Re-synchronize your account.
You may also need to reset your Windows Live account on your Windows Mobile-powered device by signing out and signing in again. To sign out, please refer to the instructions below:
1. On your mobile device, tap "Start" and then select "Windows Live."
2. Tap "Menu" and then "Account Options."
3. Tap "Switch account."
4. You will be prompted to confirm account switching as this action will sign you out of Windows Live, preventing you from seeing your e-mail inbox. Tap "Yes" to continue.
5. You shall be redirected to the Terms of Use screen, an indication that you are already signed out of Windows Live.
To sign back in:
1. Tap "Start" and then select "Windows Live."
3. Tap "Sign in to Windows Live."
4. Tap "Accept" on the Windows Live Terms of Use screen.
5. Enter your MSN or Hotmail e-mail address and its corresponding password.
6. Tap "Next."
7. Choose if you wish to have the Live Search bar or Windows Live services on your device's "Today" screen and tap "Next."
8. Choose of you wish to sync either Contacts and Messenger contact or e-mail (or both) with your mobile device then tap "Next" to continue.
9. Wait as your mobile device syncs with your Windows Live account. Tap "Done" when sync is complete.
10. Open Windows Live Messenger and check if your online contacts now appear as online.
The steps above should help you fix this problem. If the issue persists, we want to continue assisting you until this is resolved.

Trying both A and B above fixed the issue... until I did a soft reset. Then the same problems returned. So I emailed again and got the below response.
I performed the steps listed in A and B of your email (Changed Display Picture and Switch Accounts). I changed my messenger display picture to No Display Picture and signed out of Windows Live on my Tytn II and then soft reset the phone. After the phone rebooted I signed back into Windows Live.
At first this did seem to fix the problem. All of my emails started coming through (at Push speeds) and I did not encounter any sync errors. However, after I performed a soft reset on the phone, all of my problems started again. Windows Live would show sync status stuck on "Checking Internet Connectivity" even though I have network coverage and can browse the web via PIE. I would have to manually click on the sync button to get syncing started. Emails stopped coming through as push (even though I have delivery set to "As items arrive") and I started receiving sync errors again.
Below are the answers to the questions you asked.
- HTC Tytn II
- Windows Mobile 6
- Carrier: At&t Location: I am in the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas area - zip 76262
- *****@hotmail.com
- yes it happens on any Windows Live account
- currently the version of Windows Live on my device is 10.6.33.600, although I have tried the original build (can't remember #) that came on my device along with build 10.6.32.2100. All versions have had the same problem on my device.
I appreciate your help and look forward to hearing a solution to this issue. I pay the $19.99/year fee for premium Hotmail/Live mail features and use this email as my primary email and contact manager. I really need this program to work on my device.

So at least MS is aware of the problem and hopefully a newer build of WL will leak onto these boards soon that includes a fix.

ive been haveing the same sync failure problems when i try to sync my email through windows live. ive found a temporary fix by logging into messenger first then doing a send recieve with windows live mail. it then syncs my email folders correctly. so Ive discovered it will only sync when messenger is showing logged in.
BTW I'm a Beta Tester for windows live messenger and the last build was in july, there hasnt been one since. I will give more feedback on the beta feedback this evening

No Internet Connection

I am frequently getting this message when using Outlook. I have 2 Outlook accounts and I do get notification of a message but when I tap on the notification, Outlook does open but there is no new message and if I refresh by dragging the screen down the 'No Internet Connection' message pops up. Also sometimes messages that I have deleted or moved to another folder still appear in the inbox.
I just ignore it and a few minutes later the issue goes away - but that isn't much good when I know I have received an email and then can't see it
This is all with WiFi off and a strong 4G signal - I have had the issues while connected to WiFi as well
Any ideas?

Is UK 3 on your profile your current carrier? Also what ROM/version are you using?
Microsoft's Outlook app has been doing that to me off and on for a couple yrs now, it seems Microsoft applied a server side change that doesn't always work (ironically about the same time Win10 was released). At my work we've been telling people to use the built-in Email app whenever possible because it seems to accept server side changes better.
But one of the workarounds I've found is go into settings -> apps -> outlook -> force close - > clear cache -> reboot phone and that usually fixes it for a day or two for me.

Thanks, that is interesting. I do tend to suffer from a bit of tunnel vision - never thought of using a different email client!
Yes, I am still with UK 3. I did have OOS 4.0.1 and now have 4.0.2 and they both have this issue.
