problems syncing Outlook Contacts and Calendar - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I am using Activesync 4.1 (also tried 4.2 beta)
When I create an appointment or contact on my 8125 with an added note and try to sync it to my PC, I get an error on the pc that attention is required ( support code:1 )
If I create the contact or appointment on the 8125 but don't add any notes or comments, it syncs fine. It's only when I add notes/comments that I get the error code.
Can anyone add a contact on their 8125, put some info in the notes field and sync it to their pc?
If the calendar or contact with notes is created on the PC, it will sync to the 8125 just fine but not vice versa.

Hooof !
I also have started having this problem on my Vario II, at present only from appointments sent by one sender. Some appointments do have and some don't have attachments. Also some are recurring and some are not.
If the user has addins on there Outlook does anybody know if these may have an impact.

I have the problem where if i make a ew contact or calender entery on the PC and then sync, i get no error message, but the callender or contact on the XDA exec dose not contain the note made when creating the contact or calender.
also if i look at a old task i had on the pc and then i edit the test in the task and then re sync the whole of the text on the XDA is gone
the same for the "notes" as well
So basically any note attched to a Note, Contact, Task or calender when synced with my XDA only shows the titel not the note inside
Anyone help please
Thanks
John

Synchronization problem Vario+ActiveSync

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 ?

Notification of birthday events set in contacts

Hi everybody!
I've noticed that the birthday information set in Contacts is not displayed in the Today screen of the TF3D.
Does anybody knows about a solution for this?
Note: an obviously solution is create a calendar event for every birthday but I'd rather use information in contacts
For some reason my birthday information works, and i had no events set!
I'll look into it and report back as to why it works.

That's because you've synched your device with Outlook. Doing so automatically creates reminders in your Calendar.
I sync with Exchange Server and it doesn't create automatic reminders. So, I'm screwed, like the thread starter... I wish there were a way to create reminders for contacts birthdays without having to sync with Outlook.

Mmmm... I sync with Outlook 2003 and I have no reminders... But I used to have Outlook 97 and I remember that in some contact information (probably those created in Outlook 97) I've seen shortcuts to calendar events (probably I have reminders just in those ones)
May be Outlook 2003 doesn't create reminders automatically any more... Or may be there's an option to activate in order to create them.
Anyway that could be a solution for me... Let's investigate!
I'll check too.
I belive that once I set the birthday in contacts (outlook 2007) it works fine. I'll let you know
I belive mine works, but I'm not sure I'll investigate too
I have a similar problem.
I sync with outlook 2003 at work (but dont check the contact option) because this outlook has "n" work contacts that i dont want in my personal mobile.
At home if i sync the contacts (could not check the calendar because its synced with other computer - work) i dont get the allday events from the birthdays.

I think I've got it!
Ok... The fact is that REMINDERS WORK! As simply as it is...
So... Why did'nt I get the reminders in the Today screen? Easy... I did got the reminders but I DIDN'T SEE THEM.
The problem is the Today screen. The clock is sooooo BIG that covers almost all the usable surface of the screen, so the Diamond only shows you one event at a time.
If you want to see the rest of them you have to scroll down. But, what if you don't know that there are more events in the list? You won't be notified!!!
I think I would be enough if the Today screen would show then number of events that happens today. So the user would be notified and our reminders would do the job.
Any ideas?
mine doesn't work as well. using bepe's 0.99dx rom. i don't use outlook at all. pimbackup does the backup job for me
stupid slow connection...
i tried different things out, and it seems to be working fine for me. when i add birthday to a contact in outlook on my pc, it shows up in the calendar as an all-day-event, and syncs to the diamond. same thing if i enter birthday on the diamond and sync it back - it appears in my outlook...
however, those events are only created for the future, so if you created now a birthday for somebody, who was born on, say, August 1., it would first appear starting from 2009.
the only problem that i have is that for some contacts there are multiple birthday "events" in the calender, but this might be somehow caused by me cross-syncing my contacts first with neo/elf, then with touch, and now with diamond...

sync NOTES with Outlook

I am new to X1 & need your help in two issues.
1. Can we sync "Notes" as saved in outlook. The same was being shared & updated during regular syncs of my privious Nokia E series phone. I tried doing it using active sync. It syncs all info except "Notes" & shows "need to resolve".
2. what more bare minimum software I need to add up & from where can I get them. My usage is basic mails, Organiser, schedule etc. Picture editor can be useful.
I know I may be bothering you all but need help...
Cheers..
Are there any notes which are strange/unusual?
Perhaps try syncing without the notes, and then add them back into outlook until you work out which one is causing the problem..
about the notes issue, i had same problem.....try unticking notes from the sync partnership, synchronise, then tick notes and synchronise again.......that worked for me.
Good idea - will keep that in mind.
Ur lucky ur not getting the "Activesync encountered a problem on the desktop." error
That one DRIVES me nuts!!

Birthdays & Calendar

Greetings,
I have a problem which I heard around the places before but haven't found any solution.
So, we have a contact - then we add a birthday date for it, after all the calendar does not remind us about it in any possible way.
I must enter an event by myself.
Writing this after almost missing the birthday yersterday of a closed one.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
P.S. I know about "Manila Birthday for Leo", but still I want to have a full synchronized contact list with calendar, can I?
Any help guys?
try entering the contact into the microsoft contact app.
you need to sync your callendar with outlook, then you will see birthdays in your HD2 in callendar
Can that be done automatically? Or you need sync with Outlook every time to add birthdays into calendar? Because after synchronizing it I may add some new ones' and still they would not be displayed.
you need to have set B'days in your contacts in the field Birthday. if you do and then you sync Contacts and Callendar with Outlook, then Outlook will automatically assign B'days to your callendar. if you enter birthday to a contact after syncing, then you ofcourse need to sync again.
I synchronize my HD2 with Outlook once per week to be updated as much as possible.
also in case of losing your device you have all contacts and callendar in Outlook
Or if you don't use outlook, you can install "Manila Birthday", it detects all birthday entries in your contacts, and adds calendar entries for them.
You can even set it to repeat those entries every year.
Works very well here.
use a free app called birthday2calendar. it scans your contacts and syncs the birthdays with the calendar. works fine here so far and it's small and free!

Thanks for answers people, as far as I understood we can't sync it automatically like in Nokia phones. Too bad...
You can do it automatically only if you use full Outlook features. It's quite normal for Microsoft to promote its own products...
