Well first off i'm miffed and :evil: :? with this Exec
I 'know' it's a capable machine, I know it's pretty cool, I know it's sought after and all of that, but this is the first time I've felt really 'let down' by a product's functionality so soon out of the box - in fact it was a let down as soon as it came out the box!!!
My previous Xda2i and the current one I'm borrowing off my friend work flawlessly. I posted my little 'issue' but no one has come back with any further insight and such a 'small' issue is really turning me off using the exec any further.
My Outlook 2003, via ActiveSync 4.1 - only about a quarter of my 'contacts' list shows up on the Exec. No amount of setting it to 'show all contacts' shows them up.
I've got a workaround, I have to manually delete all the missing contacts from Outlook, and then re-enter them one by one - they'll then show up.
This means over 60 deletions, and then re-typing.
Maybe it's a 'known issue' or is a 'bug' within this setup - but pretty poor if basic functionality like this is up the spout.
I updated to the latest O2 ROM - same thing.
For the last 4 days, this 'Executive' PDA has been nothing but a paperweight on my desk - so I'm thinking if there's no 'fix' or 'settings' to show all the contacts, I might as well just sell it off. (before you ask - during the sync - it does show '83' contacts - so I know they're in the 'exec' somewhere!)
I'll try out the K Jam / Xda Mini next - if that has the same issue, then I'm just gonna buy anotherXda2i !
Has anyone come across this before? (cant seem to find anything using search) anyone know of how to resolve?!
I'm guessing not seeing the single response to my last post - I might give it one last big effort when I have time over the weekend to really dig and sig around the web, and maybe ask O2 etc else I'll seriously consider just selling it off!
You Exec fans here will be the first to know if I do!
Cheers for reading out my Rant/Help request!!

hi.
I remember seeing something about this before on another forum but can't remember where.
I think it is something to do with "File as" field. If on outlook you change the view to "By category" you should see your contacts in a line by line list. if you add the "File as" field, do they all have one?
You could add all the contact fields to the view in outlook and then compare the Outlook entries of the missing ones to the ones you see on the Exec and see if anything is different - ie. Is the File As field set on them all, is the Full Name field set on them both etc...
I;ll see if I can see the post/info I saw before, but that could be worth a try.
I have a number of Pocket PC's here and an exchange server running. If you want to export all your contacts into a PST and email me a copy I will see if I can import into a mailbox, and do a Outlook 2003/AActiveSync 4.1 test with one of my spare Execs...Send me a PM if you want to discuss this option!

Hi rbmerlin
Thanks very much for the prompt reply! I shall PM you about this - I appreciate the offer! I just hope something can be resolved out of it!
Give me a few days to get back to you - real busy at the moment!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!
The only other thing I can think of is that your Outlook on the PC needs upgrading??
Export
i know its not a resolution for the problem but if deleting them and re creating them seems to work, have you tried exporting all the contacts in outlook to a pst, then deleting them all, then re importing them all. Might solve the problem for now.
Who knows ?

Hi!
Riceburner - Outlook 2003 is the latest version, and has been updated via the MS online update site - so I doubt it's anything to do with that. Also, When I edit a contact I can see on my laptop Outlook screen, hit save & close the Exec shows the Icon for data arriving/syncing and makes the confirmation bleep. To me that suggests the record is indeed in the Exec, just not being displayed.
rjefferis - I might give something like this a go. I'll export them to an Excel file just to have a backup and then try exporting again to a .PST, deleting and re-importing.
I personally think there's some flag in Outlook that changes a 'characteristic' - over time as I've added other contacts, maybe I didn't add in the same way or haven't added a certain detail (or something!) to make a set of contacts 'dfferent' from another set' ( I can't think of what really, I just click 'add new contact' fill in bits and click 'save and close' !
With more investigating I'm sure some sort of reason will come out of it - be it a 'setup' difference issue or a bug or a hardware conflict or something!
For now it's just annoying as such a simple procedure appears flawed!
I'll get to email rbmerlin at some point - right now I gotta go talk the dog for a walk !
Never enough time !

hi ,
is there any software available by which we can see contacts on today screen an d can scroll to one we need to call.....please reply...
You should really do a search or read the forums for this...
There should be one called Cnetx Face Contacts.
Please look around before creating a new thread?
Try the list you see here.
SBSH PocketBreeze.
You can scroll through all your contacts with this, along with calendar, tasks, mail etc.
They are working on finger scrolling in today screen, hopefully should have that soon.

Hi
I wrote a little app called Fonebook which syncs your facebook friends photos into your outlook contacts - when you then sync with your phone you get the profile image.
Im looking at adding a few more features and possibly creating a "Pro" version to try and recoup the cost of the library Im having to use so I can get full sized images into outlook (the outlook api sucks!)
Im not sure which windows phone allow the caller id to be full screen (I know mine doesnt!) - if you know of anywhere I might be able to get a list of smartphones/pda's which support this could you point me in that direction please!
If you have any ideas for this type of application, or have any suggestions when it comes to creating a "pro" version of something as oppose to relying on donations could you please fill in this short survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=xOAJWNgBXsnGAopW7zqDNQ_3d_3d
Thanks for reading this (the current version of the app is here in case you are curious: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2442338999
Thanks

you might wanna take a look at s2u2 it's a iphone slider app which gives us wm touch screen users full screen caller id if there was a way for your app to resize the facebook pictures to the size of the screen wqvga, qvga, vga, wvga
you may also want to look at skybook. I think it has a similar feature where it takes the profile picture from facebook and adds it to your contacts picture. I tried it once with skybook and it worked fairly well until I received errors with logging in, so I uninstalled it.
using the new facebook app from winmo 6.5 and don't have any issue logging in, only problem is that I can't update the photos like in skybook.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
good luck
I would also be interested in some way to sync the contact details from Facebook to WM.
people tend to keep facebook up to date with phone numbers email addresses etc, and it would be handy to have this information downloaded automatically.
EDIT: I see you have covered the fact that Facebook block this option on the page above, but I still think its a worthy idea and have joined the petition!
Fosimo was the only thing that I could get to work for syncing facebook data. My only complaint was that it added everyone's birthdays to my calendar...
I like the idea behind this, however, I do not use outlook on my home pc.
Does this work without hooking your phone to your PC? I ask because I rarely ever sync my phone with my home PC, I do sync to my work PC but I don't sync the email, and it's a work pc, so no facebook there....
I know that new SPB mobile shell program does this but I really don't see a point in installing that and keeping it around just to sync outlook pictures. I prefer to use my touchflo that came installed on my phone. I just picked up a Fuze, my old phone was an 8525 and SPB was the best solution for it...
Is there a standalone program that would do the same thing?
You really should put a mirror of that file somewhere else, man. SkyDrive is being broken. I was searching for an app like that, saw Fonebook and OutSync. i don't care which one I get, i just want a link. Hors Skydrive, please.
well to be honest fonebook is the best app i saw so far for syncing facebook contact pics with outlook contacts.
i liked the feature to be able to choose manually which facebook contact corresponds to an outlook contact. (a missing feature to many other apps)
the only problem it has is that at the moment almost everyone use high resolution screen mobile phones with vga and wvga and the pics that sync with your app are very small and blurry when viewed in full screen incoming call apps like s2u2 that most people use. so a great addition to your app would be to add an option to download the contact pics to a chosen resolution that corresponds to vga/wvga/qvga/wqvga and to save the cashe somewhere in the pc even.
please keep this project up and running and update it asap
Got a Topaz, and have TF3D (the touchy interface from HTC), set that up to sync image to facebook.
So My images go Facebook -> phone -> outlook
instead of Facebook -> outlook -> phone
Works for me.
Personally, I don't think there's much money to be made on this (a pro version) when newer phones have this built in, and there's already other good free apps out there, unless you can add some seriously impressive functions, and even then, the free competitors would soon add those same features.

Hope can syncs the high resolution pics in next version.
And is it cannot syncs the birthday if the user didn't type the birthday year?
Guys
I dont like doing this but ive come accross a bizzare problem on my HTC tattoo and was wondering if the same issue happens on the Hero
Ive posted this in the main tattoo forum but theres not a lot of people there really
Does anybody else have a problem when composing a sms that when typing a recipient every contact is duplicated (two of each) in the scroll list that appears?
In the people app I have unchecked Google and Sim contacts so I am not sure why this is happening? I only have one contact showing in the people app
also I just used HTC sync with outlook for the 2nd time since getting the phone to see if that would get rid of the duplicate contacts in the messaging app.
Guess what - after the sync ive now got three of evry contact showing on the drop down list. Ive got a feeling that syncing with outlook is causing this.
The only way I can think of getting around this is to master reset the phone then only sync with gmail. Ireally dont want to have to do this - anyone got any better suggestions?
heres the link to the original thread in the tattoo forum

Is there a way to sync all my contacts with facebook in one go instead of having to go into each individual contact and link to facebook ?? thanks
im not sure if this will work but worth a try
go to contacts in Sense
click ALL people
See the grey icons along the bottom? slide across to Updates and Events
Now somewhere in hear it listed all my contacts that it had matched with Facebook itself (i think) and gave a load of tickbox's to confirm that I wanted to match them. You might have to do a little snooping around but it was defo here somewhere....
Good luck!

i have the same question, so i tried what you sugested but when i go to that tab it says no updates. i have logged in with the facebook application, manually linking works.
Sorry guys, I only stumbled across it today ...... and now I can't find it again.
ok , something strange is happening.....
i went into where suggest and did the update , there were initially 4 contacts already in there for some reason, then after the update there were five of my mates.
however, all the others seemed to have linked as well on their own as peoples FB photos are now in my contact list ?!
strange , but somehow it seems to have worked

I just went to contacts-updates it then showed in updates how many names had been matched to profiles
How exactly do I do this? If i go into updates it only has me with my facebook messages and requests.
Really would like to sync numbers as I cba to do them 1 by 1!
worth noting here that the info that tells the phone the contact is also facebook linked is written to the 'notes' field of the contact card, meaning that solong as you have synced your contact list with a service that takes all available fields, (pretty sure most do, i use outlook 2007) the facebook links will still be set when you do a hard reset and restore the contacts, so you never need to link them again. Just log in yourself to facebook and the links are all there in teh contact list already.
(It also strangely seems to hold the ones that are set as favourite people that way too, your quick people links are re populated after a hard reset too)
