hey guyz,
just bought my prophet today...just wanted to know how can we sync emails and contacts in microsoft Vista Build 5342?
I tried installing ActiveSync 4.2...but nothing happens. There's a utility in this version of windows by the name of mobile...but that only syncs music & files.
please help if someone knows the solution.
cheers.
Vista sync problem
Hi I have the same problem with Vista Beta2 5384. Using Office 2007 Beta 2.
Please help.
Have a read of the last two or three posts in this blog from the MS mobile team
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/05/29/610269.aspx
Are you aware whether sync-over-wifi will be supported by the Vista interface, as that is the key missing ingredient of the current ActiveSync?
No sign of it in the beta so far, and since MS have removed it from Activesync I don't really hold out any hope of it appearing again in Vista. even if they do bring it back would it even work for WM5 devices? There doesn't appear to be an option in activesync on my MDA PRO to include a computer in a sync which was necessary in earlier versions to sync over wifi.
Let me start with saying that this board ceases to amaze me. From the applications that are mad the roms that are created and just the knowledge that is here is insane.
Then let me ask..... what is the best way to store my data on my PC, so that when I upgrade to WM6 I can just bring it back on.
I am a lil worries about it being saved in a WM5 format or something along those lines. Am I just paranoid?
What should I use.... is there a good freeware app like the Total Commander.
most likely your pc is running windows xp or vista. install activesync to your computer (xp) or use windows mobile device center (vista).
afterwards, if you have individual files/pics/docs that you want to backup, you should be able to access your phone memory through my computer as a separate icon for mobile device. or you can run activesync or wmdc and "explore device".
if you have outlook installed on your computer, you can sync all your contacts, tasks, and calendar info to your pc.
resyncing after migrating to wm6 will let you resync your information.
My HTC HD Mini has stopped syncing Outlook notes for unknown reasons!
I am running Windows 7 / Windows Mobile Device Center, and Outlook 2007.
Everything used to work fine, and then one day when I connected my phone, I get the following error:
Window Title: Windows Mobile Device Center
Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
If I go into the WMDC "change content sync settings' and remove Notes from the list, I don't get the error.
Everything else seems to sync fine, it's just notes that causes the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it, as I rely on my notes like I rely on my fingers, i.e. I use them ALL the time!
I've resorted to using a spare PC to sync my notes for now, but it's not ideal.
maybe you can delete partnership at all, then re-creeate new partnership ?
But.. make back-up to contacts and data first..
brgds.
Yeah, I tried that already, but thanks for trying to help anyway.
I'm about to wipe the device, and then install the three updates from the HTC website. But I have a feeling it wont fix the issue....
As it says just in-case you haven't seen it yet, but be warned it is based on Nero 10 with a bit of Dell stuff thrown in, anyways heres the direct download link
http://www.nero.com/link.php?gen_id=10&to=9999&installmd5=mhubdell&prg=installmhubdell-1.exe
Hmmm, 140+mb install you can tell it was made by Nero
/edit and it's trying to spam me with toolbars, another Nero habit.
Tested it last night.. Seems like an unfinished version, it asks me to purchase the full version to be able to sync, not just import :s
And furthermore, dell update screen specifies that this should also have outlook sync capabilities.. I don't understand how that will be possible though.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Agree with the comments above. I also found that after downloading and installing it, it then told me that there were updates available! And of course it requires a reboot each time (why on earth should the installation of a PDA sync program require an operating system reboot?!)
The lack of Outlook synchronisation is a disaster for me. I don't do GMail, and all my contacts/diary/to dos/notes are in Outlook. Windows Mobile Device Centre may have had its problems, but at least it let me synchronise my WinMo phones with Outlook.
Surely Dell can't remove this functionality with the roll-out of 2.2?

From what i have read it will do all the outlook stuff but onlly when 2.2 is on board
its an office 2010 64bit problem, its not an android problem.
ONLY Apple with itunes has made a fix for it, for what i know.

Why in the world would Dell go to a sync program with 64 bit issues when by default, ALL Dell laptops come with 64 bit Win7 installed????
it is not an office 2010 problem. it is a activesync problem. activesync has no 64 bit support. running office 2010 32 bit on 64 bit windows works fine. the activesync thus also the dell sync program work fine as they rely on activesync.
btw if you look in the market and search for dell you will find the dell (nero) backup program. while you wait for the update to come next week , one can make a backup allready

cause it works with 32 bit office.
furthermore there is a windows phone 7 sync software which runs 64 bit.
hopefully this will be used instead of activesync.
Works for me with Windows 7 64 bit. First I deleted ADB interface in device manager and restarted. That may not be necessary. After the ADB interface has been reinstalled by Windows I started the new mobile sync manager and it recognized the Streak quickly under devices. After removing the USB connection it may take 1 or 2 tries reseating the USB plug in the computer before the Streak is being recognized again. A little fickle, but it works.

Can you tell me what works? Backup/Restore or Synchronise with Outlook.
.. And with 1.6 Streak or 2.1 / 2.2?
BTW: I can also get it recognized in Dell Mobile Sync software, but only if i select "Copy media files to/from your computer(MTP)" mode on the streak
On Dell Sync Manager it works in "Charge only" mode..
if you have office 2010 64 bit there is NO WAY to directly sync outlook contacts (and so on) with ANY device EXCEPT iphone DOT

Where exactly is the ADB interface? I went to control panel/system/device manager and looked through all of the entries, nothing labeled ADB interface was there.

It is a subsection of Android phone. If you have no Android phone listed, then try a different USB port, etc.

Backup/Restore AND synchronize with Outlook both work. A disclaimer here, I use 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, but still use 32-bit Office 2007, and Outlook is still version 2003.
The first time I tried synchronize the Dell Mobile software crashed. However, after upgrading it works fine now. Remember, to sync you have to have "USB connected" set to "off".
By the way, reconnecting to Dell Mobile Sync always seems to take a few tries of plugging in and re-plugging the USB cable.

The Dell Mobile Sync will only work if you have the "Dell Sync" app on your Streak. It did come with Steve's 2.2 version 1.2 (what I am using now) and, presumably, will be included in the official Froyo. To sync 1.6 or 2.1 you can use the original Dell software.
Other Outlook Sync Methods
For those who cannot sync because they use Outlook 2010 64 bit or are having other problems, there are other solutions to sync Outlook with the Streak. syncdroid.net lists most of them in a chart. Cross reference the software with what you want to sync (calendar, contacts, notes, tasks), how you want to sync (wireless, wi-fi, usb), and your Outlook version to get your solutions. Many of them are free.
Slightly off topic but is there anyway of stopping the Dell Sync app from appearing on my phone when I connect it to my PC as I now just sync with google contract and google calendar and have no need for Dell Sync?
What exactly is included with the new sync software?
According to this site http://www.syncdroid.net/dell-mobile-sync, the new (Nero) version of Dell Mobile Sync will only synchronise Contacts from Outlook, and will not synchronise Calendar, Tasks or Notes. It also says that Dell are removing their Tasks and Notes applications from the 2.2 build.
Can anybody who has upgraded to 2.2 please confirm that this is the case?
