Throw away your current exchange account and reinstall it, that did the trick for me!

[Q] JPP - Can't sync exchange calendar

After my update to Froyo JPP with Kies I can't sync my calendar with exchange anymore. Exchange Mail works fine. I do not get any error while syncing but no date or meeting apears on my SGS, before JPP with JP6 everything works fine.
After creating a date/meeting on my SGS this syncs once to my Outlook and then it disapears again. Very strange!
Any advise?

Probably not related but I got a warning from android that my IT department needed to confirm that security setup was OK. I never saw this in Eclair.
Coincidence? Maybe. Helpful? You tell me.
I did go back to JF3 setup exchange - everything worked - again and then I updated with Odin to Jpp without re-partition. Now it's working.

Another problem - with the free Hotmail exchange I can't view HTML emails.
In fact the iPhone is the only phone that can, not even Windows Mobile can.

Synchronisation issues with Galaxy S (2.2)

I have some synch issues (with KIES) for which I hope to find a solution here.
Issue 1:
I store the mobile number of several of my contacts in this syntax (in Outlook 2010):
*31#+312012345678
After synching the number is displayed in the Galaxy S as:
*31#312012345678
(note the + symbol is missing, the phone can't dial this number).
The reason that I store these numbers in this way is:
- I don't send out my callerID by default.
- For some contacts I do wish to send out my callerID, the prefix *31# does that.
Issue 2:
For most of my contacts I have a birthday listed in Outlook 2010. The birthday is automatically added to Outlook's Calendar.
When synchronising my Calendar & Contacts, the Galaxy S also detects the birthday and does the same thing, it adds a birthday to the calendar. However it doesn't use the same format as Outlook. Also it doesn't check if the birthday is already present in the calendar). So everybirthday is added to my calendar twice. Very annoying.
Does anyone know how I can resolve both issues?
Now I have to keep deleting double birthdays and editing contacts after a synchronisation.
I don't want to use a sync via Gmail, or anything. I want to sync directly between Outlook 2010 and my phone (via USB).
Anyone with a suggestion?
I notice inconsistencies between Outlook and my phone when I use Kies to synch...
I switched to using MyPhoneExplorer for synch, and only use Kies to check on firmware upgrades from time to time.
The calendar items (even birthdays and recurring meetings) now seem to be correctly synchronized... Kies used to somehow give me multiple listings of some calendar items and certain phone #s...
I think this was originally a Symbian product but the android version is on the Market, and you can grab the PC client on their website.
Thanks, however this tools does:
*31#+31<number>
into
*31#0031<number>
Something I don't want. I don't want the + to be replaced with 00.
Also the birthday issue still exists.
Any other suggestions?
Stop using kies. its a piece of ****

[Q] Unable to get Calendar to synch with Exchange

SGS v2.2 vanilla
Until this week had been able to get Calendar sync with my corporate exchange account. Had to factory reset phone as it would not boot up.
Reinstall of email accounts went OK ... and as usual selected to sync calendar & contacts.
Yet Calendar does not sync ... email & contacts do.
Calendar remains blank - (so it is not the problem with prior to 2010 dates)...... if I manually create an entry then it shows in Calendar as the 'next appointment'
If I double tap calendar (or go via settings/accounts & sync it shows that :
sync background data - ticked
auto-sync - ticked
corporate account 'sync is ON' and shows green circle.
If I do a force 'sync now' it spins for a second or so, but does not bring in any dates corporate calendar.
It's not account access settings as email & contacts coming across OK
Have carried out a h/w reset again without SD card ... same result, (to rule out card format issues.)
This is BT (Vodafone SIM) and also connected by WiFi.
email & contacts sync no problem.
Any ideas ?
update ... after 3 days had some calendar entries populate ... but stilll nowhere near in synch.
Anbody offer any help on this ?

After hardware reset had no improvement ... I updated to FROYO then to Gingerbread .. uisng KIES 2
Now all OK.
I don't think it was a fix in the s/w but I think the new software flushed out something in the build that a reset could not clear.
I have the same problem with calendar. My biggest reason to get this phone is because I needed a good calendar that can sync with Office Outlook and I just can't get it done anymore. Nothing is being synced and I really need all my appointments with me at all times (I'm in the medical field and need to be able to give patients appointments anywhere I am and don't want to tell them I will call them back when I'm in the office)
Any solutions or is upgrading to Gingerbread and Kies 2 the only solution like Sargan did?
You guys may want to use an app from CodeTwo. It's been recommended to me by my friend who is Exchange admin in a big company, where employees wanted to be synced to their office calendars, mails etc. and access them on their mobiles. The program syncs exchange public folders with your private mail clients on androids, iphones, blueberries etc.
oh, sorry, forgot to say, it's called CodeTwo Exchange Sync and is free in a trail version. You can download it from CodeTwo's official website.
Or the Enhanced Email for that matter - works great and sorted out all Calendar issues I had.

[Q] Exchange Status Override after Sync

Hi everyone,
It's my first post hope that someone can help and thanks in advance. I have a SGS I9000, since I updated to 2.3.3 i have a problem with calendar sync. If for example, I create an appointment using my outlook exchange calendar and mark the calendar as busy. After I sync with my phone I notice that the calendar status has been changed to free. I have notice 2 things on the gingerbread 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 they have an added field on calendar settings called "My staus" which by default is free and it seemd to override all other status. I have also confirmed this is not the case with froyo 2.2. I have colleagues with sgs II 2.3.3 who have the same problem.
Is there a work around it. This is a pontetially big problem for users I have at work. Can anyone help
Thank you,
Jack
