I wonder what happens in the following situation:
Most common pocket applications are installed on the desktop and then (with Active Sync) are passed to the pocket device. In that way you can use the desktop to remove software from the pocket device or reinstall it.
Now, what if you have to format your desktop pc? What happens with the software already installed on the pocket, but missing from the desktop?
What will happen when you will establish a new partnership and Active Sync will find in the pocket software that does not exist on the desktop?
Can anybody give me a clue? It would be mostly appreciated.
Best Regards.
it leaves the software on the pda and if you want it off you need to use remove programs in settings
if it would auto remove it when you sync'd then it would be a problem when people sync'd with more then one computer which many does

The applications stay on the Pocket PC. I've already done that a few times.

I'm wondering if I can Sync my Magician with my PC at home and the one at work ?
In order to get the same Calendar and same Contact in both PC.
I have found a freeware called : Pocket Multi Partnership Sync
But I wondering if this freeware is necessary ?
And if so how to use it ?
Thanks.
MS ActiveSync supports up to 2 computes. Unfortunately you will have to delete one of them if you will require to create third profile.
So, as long as you need only one at home and one at the office you are OK.
thanks man
So you think this freeware I'm talking about is made for needs over 2 profiles ?
Anyone know this tools ?
Thank you

My problem with my mini is that i have to redo the connection again to sync with the other computer that has been sync before.
In my previous XDA2, you dont have to redo the sync. just click the bluetooth sync and it will look for the presnt computer.
Plese help me.
I have eWallet on my XDA. I created lots of cards, etc, on it, but the problem is everytime I sync with my PC the cards gets deleted from my PC (presumably because on eWallet on my PC i have no cards) - it seems the sync use the PC as the "master" and I'd like it the other way round, so that it keeps what's on my XDA and overwrites the PC version (in actual fact I don't even WANT eWallet on my PC, but I think if I uninstall it it'll also uninstall from my XDA, which I don't want)
Any ideas?
What I do to prevent that is to not use the sync feature of eWallet and use activesync to sync the file instead. I keep the file in My Documents/KJAM/My Documents folder and just let Activesync update the file between the computer and Pocket PC if changes are made on my Pocket PC or my computer. May take a little longer; however, it is a small wallet file.

I do the same and never have problem with updating the card from both PC and Pocket PC.
The thing is I really don't want the program on my PC at all - I'm happy just to have it as a PDA program, but I don't think I can uninstall the PC-side without getting rid of the PDA-side.
I don't think it would cause any problems to uninstall on the pc since you can download a version of eWallet that does not install anything on the pc. The first version I tried was like that, I then upgraded to the Pro version to get the program on the pc as well.

Because or requirements at my job, we don't use Outlook. We use SyncML to sync contacts and calendar events with our internal server. Really nice being able to sync without hooking ot a computer and anyplace you have GPRS / WiFi access.
Here's a post where I put some info and links about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1159992&postcount=4
i need an exactly same like palm desktop to sync my contact and calender when sync with usb cable
zzzzzzzzzzzz
any 1 have third party software that can sync contact to desktop to view and edit??
i have try uninstall outlook 2003 and activesync 4.5 many time, and the result remain the same
I have had the ActiveSync problem since 10/2006 and have not found a resolution yet. I have posted on this forum, tried all suggestions and tried everything except a Hard Reset. I still cannot get my Desktop or Laptop to recognize my MDA via ActiveSync even though my Desktop and Laptop recognize my MDA. I have asked for 3rd party software to update my Outlook address book and calendar and have not found anything. I have even asked if there is software to update/change the MDA PIM.VOL file via a desktop or laptop. Still no luck. I have researched this out and checked all possible sites. NO LUCK. I still have not given up. I continue to look daily for a solution other than a Hard Reset.
So, you are not alone. There are many of us out there. ActiveSync is a very poor application. Maybe someday we will find something to use instead of AS. The only think that is missing in the AS is the last 'S'.
Hey friends,
I dont know if this reply is useful for you. I am so new to this forum. I am using a Motorola Mpx220, but gonna get my Cingular 8125 within a couple of days. Anyways, when I was syncing my Mpx, I had the same problem. The solution I found out was(after a long research), while the phone is still connected to the computer, go to Start -> Accessories -> Modem link. In that "USB" connection, make it active and then deactivate. As soon as you do this your active sync will detect the phone and it will sync smoothly.
I have no idea why is it happening like this nor I dont know if it works with MDA coz my Mpx220 is running on WM 2003 SE. I can only check WM 5 after I get my 8125. If this reply help you guys in anyways, please let me know.
Thanks mates.....

So there is no third party "phone manager" like for example Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian phones ?
Contacts backup without outlook
Try " Jeyo Mobile Companion" . Google for it. It can save the contacts + call log as well as SMS on your comp. You can restore/ update the it any time It doesnt sync though. Just use it for back up purposes. Very hand. You still need to connect that phone to the comp. and AS to recognize your device.
Trust this helps
I assume that I can backup my PIM.VOL file on my 2Gb Storage Card. I have not had to reinstall the PIM.VOL file so I don't know if it really will work. However, I still would like to find an application that will allow me to update/change my Contacts and Calendar without using ActiveSync. Bottom line, why can't we find something that can do this without using AS since we are having problems on using AS? I have used Palms since day 1 and other things without as much problems as AS.

asctony,
AFAIK, you still need AS to connect the PPC to any PC ( I cud be wrong). What you can do is to set AS not to sync your contacts and others and use another 3p software to update / modify contatcts. The prog - Jeyo mobile companion does just that + back up your SMS too. Which is very crucial, in many cases as they cannot be backed up through the regular way.
Hi All,
Currently, I have my Touch synched with my laptop because my desktop was ill. Now that I have it running again, I notice when I connect my Touch to my PC, ActiveSync is "looking" at it as a new device again. It doesn't seem to "remember" it since I switched computers. I hope I am making myself clear as to what I'm saying... It goes to the setup wizard, in other words. I usually just cancel out of this and do my downloads, etc. My question is I would like to again use the features in ActiveSync, but I am deathly afraid I will lose all my contacts, and I already had to do a hard reset for another problem, it's no fun to lose a hundred contacts. I use SPB backup now, so I feel a bit safer. But is there any chance I will lose my contacts/address book if I use the setup wizard again?
Thanks. Gary
BUMP....,,,,,
manullay back your contacts from your laptop and copy them to outlook in your desktop and try syncing.. it's simple drag and drop the contacts into outlook
Another ActiveSync Question
Does anyone know why at random times ActiveSync will launch on it's own? Even after you close all the current running apps from the today page task monitor?
I am looking for some software that will let you connect your phone to the PC and edit, add, delete contacts without having to import/export contacts first.
So the moment you change it on the computer you will see it changed in the phone.
Nokia PC Suite does this very well. Anybody know if HTC or a third party has that kind of software available.
Thanks.

Microsoft Outlook... thats pretty much what anyone who syncs windows mobile phones use.
Look it up, very easy to use
I ended up installing Outlook just to be able to import my contacts but with PC Suite you can just hook op your phone to your computer and change contacts, write textmessages just basically use the computer to do things on the telephone in real time, without having to sync.
