Ok this might be a dumb question, but.............
I upgraded to wm5 using Buzz's 1.50f buildand it works perfectly. So far so good. But over the weekend I had a problem and was not able to charge the darn thing. Now this isusually not a problem for me because I use XBackup every week like a good boy.
But as we all now XBackup does not work on WM5. I thought this is not a problem as all the reviews of WM5 stated that all your data gets backed to non volatile memory and therefore you will not lose your data.
Expect you do! So what is the story.
Rob
Its a know problem and can use outlook contact to substitute.
Read the thread below.

Yes and No
Yes Activ sync can backup data and once I recharged the xda I got my data back but.................... there is always a but
xBackup would back up all the programs that were installed as well as the data.
So on loss the of power all I had to do was restore from backup and I am good to go with out doing a sync and reinstallation.
But I am really interested in how the NAND drive is supposed to work.
How does is save your data and what data does it store?
maybe a device need to have some flash to store all those things in for the NAND to work and maybe thats not something himalaya have

I am a T-Mobile user in the USA and I loaded the new firmware today, and it loaded flawlessly. I could dial, I could surf the 'net, etc. However, after several "weird" lockups, especially during sync, I was forced to go back to my regular firmware. Have any other T-Mobile USA users experienced lockups? I am anxious to try the firmware again, because I really liked the features while it was running -- but I'm going to wait until other T-Mobile USA users have ironed out all the bugs, especially in conjunction with ActiveSync. (Version 3.7, btw.)
I haven't heard of this. My device is more reliable than ever on this version of the ROM, and others using it have told me the same thing.

Yeap the same thing happened to me the first time I installed it but it worked much better after the second install. So try reinstalling it!

Everything works great, until I try to use ActiveSync. After sync'ing it locks up everytime. Only a battery reset will do. I've tried both ActiveSync 3.5 and 3.7, no difference. Any ideas?!
So it locks when you pull it from the cradle? And what do you mean by a battery reset?
Very odd. It started this right after you upgraded the ROM?

Ah, I have a gut feeling here. Do you use ActiveSync via a serial cable or serial cradle?

Problem solved! This was an ActiveSync problem, and not a SE ROM problem! I discovered this by flashing my XDA back to the old ROM, that I had wisely saved on SD before embarking on this journey, and it locked up in ActiveSync also! I realized I haven't done a full sync with my XDA in a very long time, and I had 800+ contacts that seemed to be "choking" the XDA when I dumped it all at once. I deleted several hundred old contacts that I didn't need anymore (from old company), and then incrementally synced them to the XDA and it worked fine. I'm now happily back on the SE ROM and it is working beautifully.
Ah, I didn't think it could be the ROM.
Yesterday I learned a new lesson at a client's office... AS can lock up if a not-so-bright user has put mail items inside the contacts folder. :roll:
I have been told that with some pda's that there is two parts of the battery.
1 - Normal
2 - Backup
And if the backup section runs out of power, then you lose data stored on your PDA.
Is this true with the Wizard?
Any advice on this subject would be great, as i currently have not jet got my wizard, as i am just waiting for that all important upgrade.
cheers
Wizard runs on WM5. WM5 has persistant storage, which doesn't require battery to keep the information. It will keep your data even the battery runs out (theoritically).
cheers for that, i just gotta wait for the phone now.
I use activesync with an exchange server in real time to sync my emails:
I have a major problem with this sync error (0x80070008) constantly coming up on my Cingular 8525. My device will get this error 2-3 times a day during heavy use and it is causing me a lot of heartache. It is true that you can just do a soft reset and then the activesync works again....HOWEVER, there are some times where I do a tremendous amount of work moving emails around and sending replies etc.....then I get the error and do soft reset and lose all that work. It is a major annoyance and it is causing me to rely less and less on my device for email work. I don't want that to be the case because I love this thing and I don't want this to get in the way.
I can only say one more piece of info that may or may not be a real association - This error happens often when I'm on the subway and I have no service I do a lot of work on the device....and when I get out and try to sync this error is very common. This is not the only time it happens, but, its a frequent one.
It surprises me that this is not plaguing others besides me. I hope that someone out there can give me a real fix to this nightmare.
Thanks,
Ezra
Which ROM you are working with?
Rom version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
I dont know if its the same problem or not, but I used to get something similar when i lost service...not able to connect back up to the data network.
I just went into comm manager and turned the phone off and back on...no soft reset...no lost data.
First Post, not a real fix, but maybe a workaround.

Unfortunately this isn't a data connection problem. I am able to browse the web when this error occurs but not sync. I've seen it mentioned somewhere that this is some kind of memory leak problem....I don't know.

edited error code
Sorry I had to edit the main thread subject because I wrote the error code incorrectly.

bump. PLease, someone help me with this. I cannot stand it anymore.

indicated the same problem with same activity, agressively moving emails around through your subfolders might be a significant cause, perhaps due to the sync process, and trying to keep up with you.
especially if you are loosing a connnection back to the server due to your circumstances, it is perhaps trying to queue the number of changes and trying to keep up. new technology probably is perhaps lacking a bit of thought in the process.
just my two bobs worth, and you get your bump anyway.

The same problem with Kaisar Rom wm6.1
Hi,
I have the same problem with kaisar after upgrading to WM6.1. I have many subfolders (over 50). Any solution to the problem?
Thanks
I got that error after something happened to the AS file on my pc. The Hermes tried to find the file but as it was missing it couldn't. Only solution was to delete the sync relationship and start again. Had all my contacts backed up as a precaution because you loose them all if you delete both sync folders - on pc and hermes...
Cheers...
Syncing too many folders causes error
I get that same error with my Touch, whenever I have too many (more than 20 or so) folders setup to synchronize. What's really annoying is that with WM 6.0 I could sync up to about 40, but with 6.1 I can do only half as many.
So far I am at a complete loss as to the cause.
maybe this guy is up to something that would help us

I started getting this error on my HTC Touch Pro when I decided to sync my appointments for the previous month instead of the previous two weeks. I was using ActiveSync through bluetooth. I didn't have any problems syncing until I made that change.
I decided to sync it through the USB cable instead and it sync'd without any errors. My guess is that the bluetooth connection was too slow to sync the larger amount of data.

Not true..
I went from a stock rom to the evolution rom.
When i trie to sync it gives me the error.
What should mean that it is out of memory.
Hello,
I switched on my Vario 2 this morning and first thing I noticed is that I had no service, then no calendar and tasks on my home screen, then was unable to sync with ActiveSync and can't launch Calendar, Contacts and Phone.
I've tried everything with ActiveSync, but it just keeps saying it can't connect to my device.
No entirely sure whats going on, I hope someone out there knows whats going on.
If I can't fix it, is it possible to upgrade the ROM without using ActiveSync?
Regards,
Nanak
I believe you can do it from a memory card although I hven't tried it myself. If you have a look at the wiki I think there are instructions there.
@nswali,
Have you tried a hard reset?
WB
Cheers, the hard reset sorted it.
Many Thanks,
Nanak
I dunno what I've done, but I've broken it. Seriously. It won't work and I'm almost stuffed
Basically my HTC Hermes / SPV M3100 has developed 'a serious error' and the SatNav software won't boot. It happens from time to time. About a month ago the MS Reader software failed too thus leaving me without access to ebooks on my PDA. So I've been carrying my Psion 5mx with me for that task.
Basically, it needs a hard reset. But, before I can do that I need to backup the device, the contacts, messages and everything and do a controlled and proper reinstall.
Except Activesync won't connect to the PPC.
I've tried Ver 3.8, 4.2 and 4.5. It's a WM5 Device and therefore I understand that 4.5 is too new. I have 4.2 installed but when I plug the PDA in although it charges it does not connect
I have checked and unchecked "advanced usb connect" in the connections screen of Settings with no joy
So, er, I'd like help please I need to get the device operational for work on Monday or I'll be working off maps again. I use them as backup anyway, but even so!!!
Right. Well. I've tried a whole bunch of different cables, including the one that came with the phone. None are working. In desperation I have removed all un necessary software and used SPB Backup in a CAB install to backup all to the memory card then I'm going to do a hard reset and hope it cures it. If not I guess I'll be contacting Orange for an Insurance Swap due to a faulty unit
Which means I'll probably be without my phone for a week
Well. There you go. Obviously some sort of failure on the device. As soon as I did a hard reset and plugged it in, every thing was recognised.
The SPB restore for just my PIM, Contacts, Notes and Tasks went well and was immediately incorporated into Outlook, and suddenly everything is good.
However, I just now have the reinstallation to do today.... Ahh well.
So the moral of this story is, if ActiveSync fails, then it's probably the device that doesn't like you and SPB is worth the £15
I am using SPB Backup since I switched from HP PDA's to others without integrated backup software and I am happy ever since for the backup part.
I can't tell you what went wrong with your Hermes, definitly a software or registry problem but it was for sure not your desktop activesync sw. There must be some sort of incompatible sw running on your device, meaning: the issue might reappear if you reinstall that particular program again!
My advice: reinstall your application step by step! First install 1 program and see how it works for a while, then the next ... and so on! This is a long way to go but you will be able to pinpoint the app which 'broke your activesync'!
Thanks Junner. Whatever I had installed wrong worked fine for ages, then after about 2 months of not connecting I connected and it didn't like me anymore. If I'd worked it out sooner I would have done it yesterday, but hey ho
Thanks for your words
