Hi,
I use Lotus Notes at work and synchronize my SPV 200 phone using Mnotes and activesync. I used to sync everything to my laptop at home, so all my information ended up in Outlook 2003.
Now I want to sync my home laptop (Outlook 2003) to my new MDA Pro. It syncs all tasks, contacts and e-mail correctly. But it doesn't sync the calendar items which are originally are created in Lotus Notes. The one which are created in Outlook 2003 or in my SPV 200 sync fine. These calendar items do appear in Outlook 2003. I can't see anything strange with these entries (i exported them to MS Excel). After exporting and re-importing from the MS Excel file they did appear in my MDA Pro. But this is very cumbersome.
Anyone familiar with this problem?
Btw, any news yet from Commontime about Mnotes and WM5?
Grtx, Ramon
Hi,
Using ActiveSyng 4.1 (Build 4841), XP SP2.
XP Firewall settings look fine.
All contacts and appointments synchronized, no problem, but those with notes are not synchronized.
I can create a contact on my wizard, with notes, which is sync'ed with the laptop, but this sync stops whenever I change the notes on my PC...
I had a similar problem today.
I have my mda vario for a day now. last night I first played with it and synchronized it with my outlook (which is stand alone when I am not at work)
Today at work I started up my outlook and it synced with my server at work.
Then I synced my vario and suddenly all my agenda appointments disapeared on my vario.
Only solution was to sync with my laptop again without it being connected to the server at work
Hi,
I have the same problem, i erased qtek's memory, uninstalled office and activesync, delete all repertory and keys in regedit, but it changes nothing : it won't synchronize but with my work computer it is ok. I have put my pst files from house (data file from outlook) at work and it synchonizes too.
I don't understand :
it is not my QTEK 9100 because it synchronize fine at work
it is not outlook, pst file or activesync (4.0 and 4.1, both are tried)
so what is it ???
I am thinking that there is only one solution : format c: :-(
Please if you have an idea, help us !!!

PS : it was ok before, but i don't know what i have done that made that it doesn't work, i have only Kapersky antivirus, no firewall and vnc (to control computer through internet)
Same problem here. Only i was using a Palm E2 and converted everthing to outlook. After synching, everthing but my appointments synched to my wizard. A bit of a catastrophy saving and reimporting the pst file.
Finally someone suggested deleting the profile, then resynching to outlook, providing all data is either on outlook or the wizard, as you have to option to copy everything from either source to the other, and presto seemed to work.
Still having problems with outlook though, after importing either archive or loading a different pst file, i dont seem to have all my info and it seems my calendar is always opening from an archive instead of outlook today.
Will reinstall outlook completely. In any case try recreating the profile.
I have destroyed andrecreate my profile too.
But i changes nothing.
I think that if you have take all data from your wizard, you have certainly lose your note, is it the case ?
I have forgotten to say that only data with note or contact with photo don't synchronize but if you delete all information from outlook and you synchronize your pocket that contains these data, outlook save the contacts, but after, if you add a new contact with note, photo or an appointement with note, activesync doesn't see them. If you change a contact with note/photo that come from the wizard (ie name...) wizard doesn't synchronize it.
The problem is that i don't understand what is the problem source....

What version outlook are you using? did you make sure that notes was checked in the list of programs to synchronise? Also be sure that wizard overwrites the pc data.
Other than that, if you want to try reinstalling outlook. Be sure to save an archive or backup first (I didnt really know how to reload the pst, ie from archive or backup because it shows on outlook as archived folder instead of outlook today! ?????) Thats my next step as well. I'm also going to try to install outlook 2003.
When I speak about notes it is notes contains in other data like note in contact or note in calendar.
The Note section synchrinize... but contact that have a photo or a note, note !
I have destroy all sort of data and it doesn't work, i am sure that it is not link with oulook.
Fixed for me, since I got a new computer. Problems seems to come from the version of ActiveSync. Funny enough, if I first get an error message when syncing, reinstall ActiveSync, then it works, if I do not get this message on first sync, then it does not work...
I think that it could be a good idea that everybody who had the same problem says what running programm is installed on his computer.
For me it is Kaspersky antivirus personna, vnc, nokia toolkit, nero 7, bluetooth driver, vnc.
I have others but i don't think that they could be linked with this problem
Nobody wants to reply ????
Hi Shoopy33,
I took me days to install my desktop properly. Microsoft is cleaning things now with the newest version. What you might want to make sure is that you have Genuine versions of both Windows XP, and Microsoft Outlook. That means that both Windows XP and Outlook need to have SP.
Many things could go wrong if you have a non Genuine version installed in Windows XP. For instance, if you have a Genuine Windows XP but with a non-Genuine Office XP with Outlook, you cannot just desinstall the non-Genuine Office XP, delete all registry files, and install a Genuine Microsoft Outlook version. You'll be stuck!!! It's a nice way from Microsoft to say FU.
Simply put, you'll need to reformat your hard-drive, reinstall everything fresh with Genuine Microsoft softwares that Microsoft will check online, and clone your HD for backup when you have a chance so that you don't have to reinstall everything again from A to Z. That'll take you time, of course.
Microsoft will not check which version of Microsft Outlook you have online, but the ActiveSync from Microsoft will check which version you have offline.
I had the same problems with my MDA Vario.
My solution:
1. export all contacts to separate vcard files.
2. in outlook click Help -> detect and repair
3. scanned my outlook pst file with c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\scanpst.exe
4. deleted all notes from my vcards
5. reinserted my vcards in my contacts in Outlook.
(6. i added my contacts notes as Notes in outlook)
now all synchronisation goes well: appointments, notes and contacts
Happens after new firmware
I have some contacts and appointments on my MDA Pro. They also synched well (MDA Pro ->PC). However, after I put the new T-Mobile firmware on my MDA Pro, "normal" contacts synchronize just fine, but those with photos or contacts do not. I suspect a bug in ActiveSync, but there is also nothing in the MS Knowledgebase about that :-/
I had this problem, and my solution was to erase pocket and format computer, but now, there is no problem.
I know that there is certainly a better solution, but I have not !
I can only say that it is a problem from the computer, because at work, it had ever well synchronised...
M.B.
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 ?
Hey guys,
Right now I have all my phone numbers saved in SIM card and each type of number (e.g. mobile or home) is separated for each person. Is there a way for me to transfer these numbers to phone and automatically join back under the same person? (i.e. Both mobile and home numbers under one contact instead of split into two)? Thanks!
sync with outlook, copy and paste then re-sync to the phone memory.
Perhaps you could dump the data into excel... but I'm not too sure. I have synchronised with outlook since my w800i (4 phones ago) and all of my contacts have remained merged.
What phone are you bringing your contacts across from?
Are they grouped on that phone? If they are then sync those contacts with outlook first, then sync your x1
nice i used w800i too!
Can you elaborate on the procedure please? --> "sync with outlook, copy and paste then re-sync to the phone memory."
Thanks!
What phone were you using prior to the X1?
Were the contacts merged on that phone?
Do you still have it?
Do you have outlook (set up) on your computer?
Each phone uses different software to synchronise with your pc (outlook contacts, calander info, files etc.). The xperia has software on the cd that would have come with the phone.
If you have the contacts already set up on your old phone how you would like them, then download the software for that phone (see manufacturer's website).
Sync that phone with outlook so that outlook has the contacts displayed how you want.
---------Now for the X1--------
If you are using Vista, install Windows Mobile Device Center, if you have XP install active sync 4.5.
Check out microsofts help file for syncing here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/default.mspx
Go through the help pages and you will find heaps more useful stuff.
Alternatively, outlook can export to and import from excel, so depending on your excel skills, you might be able to merge your contacts this way.
I sync my x1 with my work and home pc's daily so that all 3 devices are up to date.

Not active sync.. you would need the sony ericsson pc suite for the w800 or w810i (I had both... then a blackberry.. long story)... anyway, you can get the pc suite for the w800 here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/103/286/1192973163/Sony Ericsson PC Suite 2.10.46.exe
It's ~44mb.
This will allow you to get your contacts off your w800, then you need Active Sync to get the contacts from outlook onto your x1.
