Hi
I need some help as I am having problems with synchronizing the contacts and calendar from my recently purchased O2 XDA Mini S and my laptop which is running XP pro SP2 and outlook 2003. Activesync loads and configures starts synchronizing and then shows that all was synchronized however no data actually moves although when Activesync is going through the motions it shows the amount it is synchronizing but as stated nothing actually moves across either way. I tested this with a new appointment on different days in calendar but after it syncs no data had moved. I have upgraded to Activesync 4.1 and reset the device ids but still no good. The last thing I tried was to follow the advice on the WM website as I am running Trend virus guard this did not work so I shut this off again did not work. Can anyone help I would appreciate this, thanks.

Hi
Installed the Himalaya ROM successfully on my XDA II phone but my activesync refuses to sync my Contacts, Tasks, Calander and files. It recognises my divice and connects to but fails to sync the files.
can someone please help me here.
XP Sp2 installed win Outoolk 2003.
have you made outlook your default program as that does stop a sync from happening as i run 2 different email programs and that always catches me out
Hi All,
I just got a MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) from T-mobile (UK) and installed Activesync 4.1 OK (well it caused my Windows XP machine to crash before I updated the Nforce2 Motherboard drivers!).
Now, I can install & remove programs OK.
But I can't get my emails and contacts etc from Windows Outlook 2003 (Office Pro 2003 SP2) to my Vario - even though activesync does a synchronisation??
Also contacts generated on the Vario don't end up on the PC outlook 2003 either??
Any ideas ? Before I have to manually enter all my contacts & addresses??
Cheers

for me active sync works first time out of the box.
you chould have a look at all the options and make sure they look sensible. Under options-->sync options. make sure contacts is ticked and settings look correct to you.
As your device is new, I believe you are entitled to free support from microsoft for 60 days and for tmobile for the life of your contract. I don't know about tmobile support but I have always found the microsoft technical helpline extremely good, and surprisingly few consumers use it!

Thanks for that - it must be something to do with mt desktop PC as I loaded Activesync 4.1 on my centrino laptop and got my contacts onto my MDA without any problems? Both are using the same Windows XP Corp so I don't think it's a windows issue and the only real difference between the laptop and the Desktop is that there is a ADSL/Router with Firewall connected to the Desktop, which may be upsetting the transfer of data from Outlook?
I did try a Bluetooth connection but that didn't work either??
Strange that I can load/unload programs, browse my PDA through Activesync but I cannot exchange data from Outlook 2003 to the PDA??
this could also be a problem with your outlook profiles. i.e. it could be that it is syncing, but with a new profile that does not include your old data. Have a look at the outlook options.
The extreme way to deal with it, is to export or backup all your outlook contacts and diary and other data. Uninstall outlook, rebnoot and make sure you delete the folder under program files. Then reinstall fresh. Setup to sync with PDA and then reimport all your old settings. Although this is a last resort.
Well do to a corruption of my root hard drive MBR I had to reformat and re-install windows (A nice long job!) - and would you believe it, that the newly installed activesync is now working properly - ie emails and contacts are synchronised on both the Desktop PC and my Vario???
Oh well I'll know next time !

I've had pocket PC's for ages, but just got a Trinity. When i synced it however it synced everything (contacts, files, etc) except the outlook calendar for no rhyme or reason.
Anyone have some advice?
I am not quite sure, but I think you can solve this by disabling the extra networking facilities through: settings, connections, USB-to-PC.
Hope this helps.
i don't think that has anything to do with it..
i did try it though, but it still doesn't work
update on the situation...
i uninstalled activesync 4.5, and installed activesync 4.2... everything works perfectly.. In fact, i was even on the phone with Dopod support and while he was talking me through it, the tech support guy had the same calendar problem with activesync 4.5
very strange..
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my TyTN that used to work fine and sync fine with both of my PCs (1 running Windows XP family edition and the other one running Windows XP Ultimate).
I realized yesterday that eventhough syncing appears to be working fine, none of my outlook calendar events have been sync'ed between my Vista PC and my TyTN (in both directions) for a week. Outlook Contacts, Notes and Tasks still sync fine but none of my calendar events are sync'ed...
Has anyone encountered the same problem and found a fix?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem, but am still looking for a fix.
This is very annoying.
Dear Folks, I am having a problem Syncing.
It has worked fine for about a week - but it will now not Sync. Additionally, every time I try to Sync the HD2 puts some 20+ entries on today's date in my Outlook 2003.
Frequently, when I try to Sync it will crash Outlook.
I have uninstalled all "Partnerships" on HD2 and PC. I have uninstalled the ActiveSync software on my Win7 (64nit) and reestablished the partnerships all without success.
If I do not Sync with the Calendar, it will Sync OK, without crashing. However, if I add Calendar to the Sync objects, it will not complete.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

cable sync or bluetooth??
bluetooth with many entries causes problems sometimes (for me)
Activ Synch
I know it sound silly but do you find you can sync with one machine but after synching with the other it will not work with the first?
On win 7 before connecting try opening ActivSynch on the mobile, clicking options and de-selecting all items. Click OK and the re-open options and re-select the sync items. OK again and connect to your pc.
For XP when you have connected the phone open activ sync on the pc and de-select the sync items. OK and then go back in and re-select before ok'ing again.
I know this sounds long winded and is a pain to use but it seems to be when you are synching to 2 machines rarther than just one. I tend to suynch at homeweekly and work daily!

Try running compact on outlook data files. (Tools - account settings - data files - double click the data file(s) to open properties and click compact now.)
Also worth running a scan for errors on the .pst file.
Theres a how-to HERE
Hello
Think about your firewall, that can also cause the problem

I'm having a similar problem when trying to sync with Exchange 2003 SBS SR2.
Emails and contacts are fine and sync well as long as I'm not trying to sync calendar events. As soon as I check the box for calendar events I get an error, although it's not the same error code as the original poster it's the same result.
I'm running WWE 1.66.
Dear Folks,
Now working - I had corruption on my PST. Used "samsamuel's" idea and then upgraded to Outlook 2007 and then archieved all old emails and calendar events older than 14 months.
Now works!
