Hi all,
I have a T-Mobile Vario II that I have been using with Missing Sync on my Mac since I bought it a few days ago.
I wanted to install some software that required .net framework which I didn't / don't think I can install via missing sync as it comes as an .msi not a cab file.
Anyhow....
It appears that when I plugged my Vario into my PC to install .net framework it changed the device ID to WM_Administrat1 and Missing Sync has stopped working properly.
I think this is because missing sync is trying to sync with Device Pocket_PC, teh long and the short is that it doesn't sync my contacts or calendar anymore and I thought it may be because of the device ID.
Is there a way to change this either on the device or via Missing Sync or ActiveSync?
Any help much appreciated.
You can use an app such as SK Tools, or just edit the registry. Search on the "new" name and replace all the entries with the "old" name.

I've searched and haven't found any help at all with this. I'm trying to sync my 9100 with outlook 2003 sp2 as indicated in the title. I can establish an activesync connection and sync notes and files as well as explore the device and install software, however whenever I try to add tasks, contacts or calendar to the sync options I begin to get an error.
Basically what happens is that it will save the settings and then I get an incomplete sync with an error code of: Support Code 85010014. I've searched the microsoft site and can't find this code anywhere. I've followed the activesync 4.0 troubleshooting guide, but since I am establishing a connection that doesn't seem to be the problem. I've been a PocketPC user since day one so I'm not new to any of this, but I'm really at my wits end with this issue. I've hard reset and reinstalled activesync more times than I care to count. I can also still sync with my old jam just fine. Any help would be appreciated. Are there any unique configuration issues for 5.0 devices relative to Outlook 2003? Does it not like running in cached mode? Thanks in advance for any help.
If you are trying to connect to your home machine try:
Delete Any Partnerships From Activesync & the Device
Uninstall Activesync
Uninstall (Not Repair) Outlook - you'll probably need your Office CD for this.
Reboot
Reinstall Outlook
Reinstall Activesync
Cross your fingers
This has seemed to work for some people but not everyone.
There is a known issue with folder redirection on corporate networks. The Activesync team is aware of this and an upcoming version of Activesync will address it. For the moment the the only workaround is to turn off folder redirection. Unless you are a sysadmin, this is not likely an option for you. If you are in this situation, then unfortuantely you'll have to sit tight - like me.
Hope this helps.

I also had to uninstall both the latest outlook junk update as well as the junk update from office sp2 to get as4 working properly.
Success. What worked was to delete my current Outlook profile and account and then set it up again. The first time I did it I didn't delete the outlook.ost file and the new account settings just referred back to that file and I had the same problem. The second time around I deleted that file, configured my outlook settings and got that working and then syncing started to work as well. It took a little time, but has been working well since then. Thanks for the help. It's really strange that my jam and ipaq continued to sync thru AS4.0 just fine, but the qtek wouldn't. Appears to be some weird combination of WM5.0 and AS4.0 that causes the problem.
Hi all
I have a UK T-Mobile Vario with no modified ROMs or anything like that. I am having problems syncing with two computers using Activesync 4.1.
I'm not experiencing any of the usual AS problems, I can connect to both computers by USB or IR without problems. I don't have any firewalls other than the built-in XP firewall, and they have been disabled for the Vario connection on both computers.
From "out of the box", I set up a partnership with my home computer without problems. I then did the same with my work computer. However, when I returned home, Activesync did not recognise the device as one with which it had a partnership and started the setup wizard again. I had to go through the whole process again... then the same thing happened when I returned to work!
It's very frustrating because it takes so long to set up new partnerships, and I can't be confident that it is properly merging what has changed on the Vario with what is on the PCs.
If no-one has any better ideas I guess I will have to do a hard reset and reinstall AS on both PCs, but I'd rather it didn't come to that!
Thanks in advance
Did you resolve this problem? I have been fighting with my new 8125 to try and get it to sync with my computer at home and my computer at work. It just won't share the same partnership and you can only setup contacts and calendar with one of the partnerships. I have tried deleting the mobile devices from active sync on both computers and removing them from the sync configuration on the mobile device and starting again with no luck.
It tells me this "Your Pocket PC is already set up to synchronize with another computer (Windows PC). Please enter a name that will help you easily distinguish this computer from your other computer (Windows PC). " But if I name it something else I can only sync contacts and calendar with one of the partnerships. Very annoying.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the contacts and calendar to sync with 2 different computers (without configuration changes each time you sync). I had a PocketPC before (not a phone) and had no problems doing this.
This may not be what you want to hear, but I resolved the problem by uninstalling Activesync from both computers and doing a hard reset on the Vario at the same time. When everything was reinstalled it started working as it should. When doing the hard reset I also installed an updated ROM from T-Mobile for my device, so I cannot say with total certainty whether it was the reset or the new ROM that actually corrected the problem.
Does this mean you can successfully sync your contacts and calendar with 2 computers? Does it show just one item in the sync application on your mobile device?
I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have both my machines, the Universal and Wizard syncing with my work laptop and my home PC without any problems.
The Wizard is syncing Calendar, Tasks and Contacts with both machines...

Ditto for me. I did a hard reset on my 8125, and reinstalled ActiveSync on comps. Original ROM, updated radio ROM only. Works like a champ syncing with 2 PCs.
That is good to hear that other people got it working.
Did you do any tricks to get this to work? Or did ActiveSync prompt you to create a multiple computer partnership?
What version of ROM do you have? I have 1.8.11.1 WWE and radio 01.09.11. I'm wondering what else is out there and I have heard about a 2.8.7.102 version, but it is prerelease.
Do you have ActiveSync 4.1 and Windows Mobile 5.0?

I didn't do any tricks - Activesync on your mobile is happy to have two partnerships at once. I'm also using AS 4.1 and WM 2005.
no luck yet
Well I did a hard reset on my device and reinstalled active sync on both of my computers and still no luck. Very frustrating. It still tells me that my pocket pc is already set up to synchronize with another computer and I need to name it something to distinguish it from the other computer. I do this and call it "Home" and then I can't click on Contacts or Calendar b/c it says that it is already synchronizing with my other computer. It says I can turn it on after, but only after I clear the check box for the other computer and try again.
Maybe now I'll look into updating the ROM, but I didn't really want to do this b/c I'm not sure if I want to keep the device if I can't get this to work. Maybe I'll try calling Microsoft although I've already tried and gotten three different phone numbers of people to talk to and when I had called they weren't in the office at the time. So I tried searching some more and trying some different things and came across this great forum!
I wonder if my problem is because my 2 computers are synchronizing with different exchange servers. I did read this:
"If you want to sync your Pocket PC or Smartphone with 2 PCs with Outlook and the 2 PCs are both synchronizing with different Exchange servers, you need to use a registry editor on the mobile device and set the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination] = (DWORD) 1
Source: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x.htm
I wanted to try this but haven't found a free registry editor that works yet. I'll do this before the ROM.
FIXED
Changing EnableNonLocalCrossPollination fixed the problem.
I should have just tried that from the start. I paid the $20 for the Vidya Pocket Registry Editor 1.0.5 and changed the registry and now I can pick contacts for both home and work connections. Now to fix the problem of sync freeze
Hi everybody!
I have a problem with synchronizing my contacts, calendar, tasks etc. When I start Active sync, it synchronizes all the files (music, photos, etc) and programs but could not synchronize outlook!! I reinstalted several times Microsoft Outlook 2002 (which was on the getting started CD) but it doesn't help. When the synchronization is over, the following message appears, when I click on the Exchange message: "The server could not be reached.This can be caused by temporarly network conditions. Support code: 80072ee2"
On my PC, I use Outlook Express 6.0, maybe it's not compatibile with the MO 2002??
Also, I don't see any ikon of the MO 2002, I could not open it on my PC ( could not find it), but in the folder of Add/Delete programs is present (192 MB)!
The message on my device is: Exchange Server Synchronized: None.
I really don't have any idea what should I do to synchronize properly all the information.
Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and could share the experience.
I would be very grateful!!
Hi marbron!
First thing you need to do is sort out the Outlook installation on your PC. If you can not open it, it is not properly installed. Since you can't sync with express, you have to let Outlook 2002 replace it as your default mail program.
Second, when you created a partnership in ActiveSync, you must have chosen to sync with Exchange server directly (first V you get).
When device is not connected, go to File->Delete mobile device, then connect you device and create a new partnership. Make sure you uncheck 'Synchronize with Exchange server directly' on the first page.
Hope this helps.
I don't know why I still have problem with the Outlook. I delated the program and reinstaled it again, I delated the device on Active Sync and connected the device. The message was, that I could synchronize only files, music etc and not contacts, calendar, task because I don't have Outllook instaled...
During the set up wizard of Outllok there is a funny message, that the program will instal the following aplications: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and there is a red cross with (not available), but when I click:instal it does it properly only in one moment the system message appears: you don't have a disc inside, please insert disc (the disc is of course there!!). I have to click several times on continue and then the message disappears... Of course, again I can't find the program on my PC, only it appears on add/delate programs.
I really don't understand it. Maybe the version of Office that I have (Microsoft Office 2000 premium 9.0.2812) somehow creating a problem.... Or maybe the program on my official CD has problem (I don't think so, because Active Sync from the same CD is working ok)...
I really don't know what I should do.
Any ideas???? :idea:
So, any idea?? Could somebody suggest me what should I do???
Please!!!
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I can't sync my PDA at all now. It used to work ok but starting 10 days ago it simply stopped. The only think I did was using the Internet Connection Sharing applet. After using this applet - no sync at all. And the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in Windows XP displays a stupid message; see atachment.
marbron: It sounds to me like your CD may be damaged or dirty so some parts of it (namely the ones with Outlook) are not readable.
Try cleaning it and the drive.
In any case you should also delete the partnership from PPC side before establishing a new one.
Innovative: Internet sharing disables ActiveSync but should restore it when deactivated.
Did you try to reset your device? If you are using an unofficial ROM this may be a bug and you may have to hard reset.
Also how are you using WMDC under XP? It was my understanding that thing is for Vista only.
Any way, try AS 4.5 and see if that works better for you.

Because or requirements at my job, we don't use Outlook. We use SyncML to sync contacts and calendar events with our internal server. Really nice being able to sync without hooking ot a computer and anyplace you have GPRS / WiFi access.
Here's a post where I put some info and links about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1159992&postcount=4
i need an exactly same like palm desktop to sync my contact and calender when sync with usb cable
zzzzzzzzzzzz
any 1 have third party software that can sync contact to desktop to view and edit??
i have try uninstall outlook 2003 and activesync 4.5 many time, and the result remain the same
I have had the ActiveSync problem since 10/2006 and have not found a resolution yet. I have posted on this forum, tried all suggestions and tried everything except a Hard Reset. I still cannot get my Desktop or Laptop to recognize my MDA via ActiveSync even though my Desktop and Laptop recognize my MDA. I have asked for 3rd party software to update my Outlook address book and calendar and have not found anything. I have even asked if there is software to update/change the MDA PIM.VOL file via a desktop or laptop. Still no luck. I have researched this out and checked all possible sites. NO LUCK. I still have not given up. I continue to look daily for a solution other than a Hard Reset.
So, you are not alone. There are many of us out there. ActiveSync is a very poor application. Maybe someday we will find something to use instead of AS. The only think that is missing in the AS is the last 'S'.
Hey friends,
I dont know if this reply is useful for you. I am so new to this forum. I am using a Motorola Mpx220, but gonna get my Cingular 8125 within a couple of days. Anyways, when I was syncing my Mpx, I had the same problem. The solution I found out was(after a long research), while the phone is still connected to the computer, go to Start -> Accessories -> Modem link. In that "USB" connection, make it active and then deactivate. As soon as you do this your active sync will detect the phone and it will sync smoothly.
I have no idea why is it happening like this nor I dont know if it works with MDA coz my Mpx220 is running on WM 2003 SE. I can only check WM 5 after I get my 8125. If this reply help you guys in anyways, please let me know.
Thanks mates.....

So there is no third party "phone manager" like for example Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian phones ?
Contacts backup without outlook
Try " Jeyo Mobile Companion" . Google for it. It can save the contacts + call log as well as SMS on your comp. You can restore/ update the it any time It doesnt sync though. Just use it for back up purposes. Very hand. You still need to connect that phone to the comp. and AS to recognize your device.
Trust this helps
I assume that I can backup my PIM.VOL file on my 2Gb Storage Card. I have not had to reinstall the PIM.VOL file so I don't know if it really will work. However, I still would like to find an application that will allow me to update/change my Contacts and Calendar without using ActiveSync. Bottom line, why can't we find something that can do this without using AS since we are having problems on using AS? I have used Palms since day 1 and other things without as much problems as AS.

asctony,
AFAIK, you still need AS to connect the PPC to any PC ( I cud be wrong). What you can do is to set AS not to sync your contacts and others and use another 3p software to update / modify contatcts. The prog - Jeyo mobile companion does just that + back up your SMS too. Which is very crucial, in many cases as they cannot be backed up through the regular way.
When ever I click sync in Windows live it comes up as failed. I get my e-mail but my contacts in messenger aren't synced. In windows live on the PPC it only shows 4 of my contacts compared to the about 30 on my PC version.
It's not like I use Live anyway, I'm more of a Yahoo user but since Yahoo doesn't support their ppc client anymore I decided to go back to MSN since my Yahoo contacts are available on my PC MSN.
So, does any one know of a registry hack to uninstal and do a fresh install of Live on the Mogul.
Thanks
Same problem here
hi,
as Pocket MSN is replaced with Windows live in WM6, I believe this is a common problem that a Majority of folks are suffering around the world.
Use Google, and see.
I've been trying to Sync my 311 contacts for the past month, but NO WAY!
also, when I become online, and any of my buddies is online, I will still see them as offline. it's always like this: "0 Online". "217 Offline" (Since the rest failed to sync), even though I'm chatting with some of'em and they are ONLINE.
Note: Synchronizing 217 contacts happened successfully (Once upon the time) and as I wasn't able to wait more than 2 hours, I decided to disconnect and go, when I tried to sync again it failed. also, it failed everytime I tried it before this ONLY half-successful experience.
I've tried to sync using the USB cable which is connected to every available internet ISP. i.e. Dial-UP, DSL, also tried the phone's WIFI, GPRS. all in vain.
I've noticed that - during the sync proccess - synchronizing folders is successfully, also, when I check "e-mail messages" in the sync options, they sync successfully, but the FAILED thing comes along with CONTACTS. also, recently, PERSONAL SETTINGS are failing to sync.
therefore, the help of an expert is needed. as this is a global problem, and I don't think that microsoft will provide us with the solution soon (not in the current generation of software)
another question: when I use resco file explorer and bluetooth, how to see my desktop computer under "my network"?
in other words: is the known lack of profiles microsoft bluetooth stack resolved yet?
I installed the provided DUN profile, but what I need isn't DUN, btw, it also says OBEX doesn't exist when I try to recieve from any normal mobile phone (for example Nokia or so)! is that normal?!!
HTC PROPHET, WM6 Prophet Touch by Gullum
ROM Version 4.0.0.0 WWE
Radio Version 02.47.21
The folks at microsoft have identified this issue and have found not a solution, but a workaround to this problem. Go to the following website if you want more details.
https://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2467855&SiteID=65
Basically, all you have to do is switch your live account and thal'll reset all your settings and contacts. Note that this is not a solution but it works. You can connect to messenger and your email account as long as you don't close the application, so if you have enough memory you can always leave it running in the background because if you close it and try to sync again it'll fail
Hope that helps!!
I've Got the Solution!
Hi Friends!
I've owned HTC Touch recently & Using Windows Live.
