Hi
I gave up with photo contacts on my last device (XDA IIs), but this time, MS seems to have gotten it sorted. I just added pics to all my contacts on outlook 2003, synched the device and their pic appears when they phone - splendid!

Yep I Have The Same Problem and Carnt Believe this has been overlooked, have in excess of 700 Contacts with most an Entry in the Notes Field. Also did a lot of searching and have found a few thousand post `s
The device does not sync :-
appointments with entries in notes field.
contacts with entries in notes field.
tasks with entries in notes field.
O2 XDA Exec , WM5, ActiveSync v4.1, Outlook 2003
O2 Have passed the buck to microsoft as software issue and nothing to do
with them
I dont know if AS4.x or WM2005 is guilty, but anyway - its of no use at all
without all appointments, notes and contacts in daily use.
THIS NEED SORTING ASAP

I have this problem too - Contacts with any amount of notes are not synced...
I have just replaced by M5000 and reinstalled Windows but no luck... My M5000 is now just sitting in a a drawer and I've gone back to my C500 which works perfectly...
The M5000 will now sit in my drawer until this is fixed or I can upgrade again (in twelve months) I wouldnt mind o much but last years technology did it PERFECTLY! LOL
Hmmmm when they fix this it would be nice to be able to sync contact photos too! I just added photos to all my 140 contacts thinking the photos would be sent to the M5000 but nope! Doh!
I have the same problem but with calendar entries that have notes in them. It would appera that notes attached to items would seem to be the common item here.
I've had the phone about 3 weeks and before whenever I entered someone's birthday under their contact info the birthday was automatically on my calendar. Now, for some reason it's not doing that if I had any new birthdays.
Any idea why it stopped putting the bdays on my calendar??
anyone?!?!?!?
I have the same problem. In fact, my contact birthdays have never translated over to my calendar. It works for my friend who has the same phone, although he imported his contacts from Outlook using ActiveSync. Anyone?
The default behaviour is that the birthdays are put into the calendar when you syncronize with outlook.
Or in detail: outlook puts your contacts birthdays into the calender which are then synced with your device. So new birthdays don't automatically show up if you didn't sync.
Thanks TcT. You have confirmed my suspicions. Once I synced my Calendar and Contacts with Outlook, my phone calendar populated with contact birthdays. Thanks.
I am using pocket breeze for my birtday list. It really goes well along w/ the compact calendat on today's screen. Believe me, this software is really great!
I would like to ask you for help.
I decided to change ROM from T-Mobile 1.6 to Mr.Clean 2.24. Reinstal was Ok, i have also reinstalled ActiveSync, deleted old partnership and created new one, started synchronization of Contacts and Callendar, etc...
Everything seemed fine until I realized that not all Contacts and Callendar items synchronized. From Contacts i had synchronized only about half of them...
I found that Contacts with text note or picture and also Callendar items with text note created on PC Outlook won´t sync.
Than I have tried several other ROMs including previous 1.6, several ActiveSync reinstalations, partnership delletions on Vario and PC.... but after all I am not able to sync any Contact or Callendar item with text note. Synchronization looks Ok, but Contacts or Callendar items with text note from PC Outlook are not visible on my Vario.
It´s driving me mad...
Please can somebody help me ? What could go wrong ?
I noticed no one answerd the question about photocontacts. so here goes, if you have pictues already on your contacts(wm5) which all sync well with outlook via(active sync 4.1 ) will photocontacts recognise thoes pictures. I noticed on a few websites where it stated that photcontacts is wm5 compatable...(that's all well and good) what about all your existing pictutres embeded in contacts.
please help clarify.
Photocontacts Pro? If this is the program you are talking about then...No. You have to set the photo through their program
thanks very much.
just like i thought.....I will spread the word to my other users. It makes no sence that this product does not support the intergrated picture/contacts
The OS contacts app uses picture contacts (WM5), and syncs with Outlook on the PC. Is PhotoContacts a major improvement?
V
right now ..i guess not..
i have well over 200 contacts in my address book all with photo's and it syncs very well with outlook, the last thing I want to be doing would be to replicating the photo's into the photocontacts directory also i don't think you can syncronise the photo's with outlook.
now that's a shame
Hi,
I have my phone sync'd with my outlook (exchange 2007) and most of my contacts have images that I have chopped to the right size etc.
However, the contact picture that is used for SMS (threaded conversation) seems to be taken from facebook and not the image I saved against my contacts in outlook, or used for when I call someone (I use SPB mobile shell)
is there a way to change this? basically, because not all my friends have pictures of their face as their facebook pic.
ok, so it's not a huge problem..just a bit anoying is all.
