I am on rooted .195 firmware but I have this annoying problem in that I have multiple instances of the stock calendar displaying. I sync between my phone and Outlook on my PC using MyPhoneExplorer. I am not interested to have my calender on Gmail. Currently after I sync I cannot view any entry on the calendar. If I create a new entry on my pc, it sync over but still not visible on my phone. If I create an entry on the phone, it show on the calender and can sync to my pc.
I dont know what I did to get these multiple Phone Calendars but since then I cannot view anything and my calender is blank.
How do I delete them all and start afresh?
...anyone??

New appointments and contacts from PPC will sync to Outlook but NOT vice versa.
Contact updates made in Outlook ARE NOT updated in PPC
Appointments changes work instantly both ways
Does anyone experienced the same behavior?
I really don't like the Active Sync in XP. Is the device management better in Vista?
Just to add... when I tried to sync in the first time I got about 60% of contacts.
Since then I was not able to get into PPC any. I deleted all contacts and appointments to find out what it really does.
(E.g. updating categories and notes...)
Update
Here is the "solution".
Export the existing contacts to csv file with first and last name only and omit everything else.
Make a copy of current contact folder.
Delete all contacts in the default contact folder
Import the trimmed version from csv file. These contacts will become somehow noteworthy for sync now. (Don't ask me why).
Now clear out all notes in back up contacts (sorry no other choice) and update other fields in this occasion as well with correctly structured data (country codes, address fields etc. this is the time to do that once for good)
Move the cleared contacts from backup folder to default once and update all contacts at once.
Delete all your contacts on your device and restart it.
Plug it in for synch
Now you should be able to see the contacts.
If you don't then what works for me is to move the outlook contact to other than default folder. Delete it from default folder and create new contact on the device.
Sync and update newly created contact in default Outlook folder either by hand or moving in from backup location.
Still notes from Outlook are not updated to device
At least all other info seems to sync both ways.
I still have to find out the caveat of syncing categories and pictures.
If you already found out let me know.
Good luck!
Strong nerves
At work i synchronize and update my Wings with Exchange (through Onebridge). At home I want to synchronize my wings with a home pc, I want to update the home pc with email, calendar and contacts from my Wings. Once connecting Wings to the home pc usb-cable, ActiveSync starts to synchronice, and synchronizes calendar and contacts to the home pc Outlook 2007 perfectly. A checkmark is also put on "Email", but my email is not synchronized and updated in my home pc Outlook 2007! Why is that? Could somebody please help me out?
Are you using the same version of outlook at work as you are at home? 2k7? I know with word 10 if you save it as a docx it will not open in the older systems and your phone might not be registering outlook 2k7 for some reason?
Just a thought.
The only connection my wings has with Outlook is at my home pc, through ActiveSync. At work I synchronize directly with Exchange, not with Outlook.
This is what i want for contacts, calendar AND EMAIL:
Wings -> ActiveSync -> Outlook2007 (at home PC)
But only contacts and calendar is synchronized, email is not. Why is that?
Hmm I dont sync anything so I cant help too much, but with the phone connected fire up active sync and under the tools > options there are a bunch of check box's for what you want synced, make sure email is checked and anything else pertaining to it?
I have tried checking and unchecking those boxes...., tried reinstalling outlook2007, reestablishing the activesync connection... still only contacts and calendar are copied to outlook2007.... email is not.
Need help !!!
I have a HTC TYTN II and I am unable to sync outlook calender with my phone. I use Windows XP. I also tried syncing using the message server option but that also does not work. I am able to sync tasks and notes. While I run sync it shows that the calender is sunchronising but I dont see any off my meetings. Please someone help!!!!
Check your settings. I know, blatently obvious. Is it syncing and you can't see it or is it not syncing?
Edit: In Activesync check Tools- Options and make sure there is a check mark in Calendar.
The calender is checked. When I sync it shows as syncing and it also shows the number of appointments in my outlook calender as being synced to my phone but when I open my calender (mobile) nothing appears.
Please Please help. I am missing meetings !!!!
Back it up. Remove the Activesync partnership (Delete Mobile Device). Create a new partnership.
I have always saved my contacts / calendar via PIMBACKUP. Just done a hard reset on my touch pro. Restored all contacts etc, everytime I hook it into active synch (which already has my contacts and calendar), it keeps copying from my phone to outlook creating duplicates.
All i want is to copy all from mobile to pc and clear outlook contacts and calendar. Was able to before click on contacts and settings and it woudl give me a option, its currently hidden.
Thanks
any help please?
How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display
