Thanks everyone for helping me get my Wizard synced. I use Outlook 2003 upgraded with all fixes.
Problem: When I sync my appointments July and beyond are not put on my Cingular 8125. If I add a new contact it is put on immediately.
I use Pocket Informant 2005. I've clicked on Calendar in active sync to go back one month. Active sysn (4.1) says 'synchronized". Is there something I have not activated on my pda?
I really love this sucker but it had better improve soon.
I'm amazed by the cool teaks you people write. The vibrate keypad is hot.
you need to make it sync more than just 2 weeks worth of data. there's a setting in ActiveSync under options that will let's you specify how far ahead you want your device to sync.
I have the same problem, it was working fine then it jst stopped working, when you say ajust the setting for the amount of weeks it syncs, where is that, on the computer it has an option on how far back you can sync but I can not find anywhere of how far forward you want to sync as you mentioned in the last post.
Your right, I adjusted it to one month in the past and it now syncs again. thanks heaps
one month?
The defaut is 2 weeks and I changed it to a month and nothing changed. That's when I made the post. I apprecaite you replies. I spend more time at work on Activesync than my work. Thank God I own my own business, or I'd have to fire myself. It is time consuming.
Just got my TyTN Pro yesterday with ROM 1.18.255.3. Its my first foray into WM as long time Palm user, converted from the Treo 650
Okay, TyTN runs great in its virginal mode before anything is added. However after adding in my info from Outlook 2003: Contacts, Calender, Tasks, and Notes, I have problems. I also have ActiveSync set up to sync Windows Media and Files, but not Email.
First problem, when I go into the phone and choose options, then menu never comes up, same thing when I go into settings and choose phone, just nothing at all.
Second problem, it slows to a frickin crawl that is just plain unusable. I'm not sure if its related, but ActiveSync shows up frequently on the Running Programs Tab in the memory menu on the settings even when I didn't Activate it or set up an Exchange account.
Man, this is frustrating.
Actually I have a third problem too. When I have tried to send an MMS, it keeps resending it as though delivery failed, though the recipent receives all the MMS. kinda frustrating.
As for the first two issues in the first post...
I have slowly been syncing the TyTN.
I started with my 651 Contacts, things still worked fine
Added my 2374 Calender entries, still good
Added my 116 Tasks, still good
Added my 139 Notes/Memos and the problems start. WTF could be the problem that my Notes are causing the Phone options not to show up and the unit to slow?
And I just confirmed that it is something in the Notes after hard reseting and ONLY syncing just the notes. I am now going to separate the notes into two halves and see if I can further isolate the problem
Well, several hours later, it was one memo with 127 characters in the first line. Even when I tried to hit a return after the first few words, during the sync process it rendered it back to the intolerable format. Weird. Anybody know what the usable limit of characters in the title of a memo is?
lol very weird! :shock:
Post #1 for me on this forum...here it goes:
First: I searched. I scoured. I actually read all the titles of all the posts on the 12 pages of this Tytn board to look for the answer to this question, so I'm feeling pretty good about not getting flamed. That said I am new to WM5 so forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question (usually that disclaimer precedes a dumb question). :wink:
Does the Goodlink software work on a Tytn? If I buy the Tytn and it doesn't work, I will have a $750 paperweight until Cingular gets around to releasing the device with a ROM with Goodlink pre-installed, whenever that's supposed to happen. I'm currently using a Treo 650 and Good basicly takes over all of the email functions and the buttons on the device so I imagine there has to be some hardware configuration that needs to be worked out. Since Good comes pre-loaded on the 8125 (and will probably come pre-loaded on the 8525), I know HTC devices work with it, but I need to be 100% sure it will work on the Tytn before I buy. I've never used WM5 so I don't know if Good has to be launched separately from Outlook to separate Goodlink from my pop email accounts. In that respect, I'm a total newbie.
btw- I HAVE to use Goodlink. My admins wont allow anything else and quite frankly I don't think we're running the latest version of Exchange to get direct push, and my cheap company will take 2 yrs to upgrade to it anyway once I suggest it. Like it or not, Goodlink is it for me.
It would be really cool if I could get a very straight forward answer to this question and preferably someone who 100% knows, as opposed to "I think so' or 'theoretically, it 'should'. The answer to this question will drive a $750 decision and that's a lot of moolah for a guy like me. Is anyone out there using Goodlink on their Tytn, or can download it from get.good.com to see if it works?
Your help and expertise is very much appreciated.
Respectfully,
MBN
It is Windows Mobile 5 so it should support it no problem at all. Just to be on the safe side though, I just got my TYTN today and hope to have GoodLink installed on it later today. I will let you know.
Joe
Thanks, Joe! It would be really helpful if you could post the results of your Goodlink install on your new Tytn asap. Also, if you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase the Tytn, and what model version did you get?
Looking forward to a positive reply so I can order one myself tomorrow! This truly looks like the device I've been waiting a few years for.
Thanks,
Michael
I have GoodLink installed on my JasJam and it seems to work exactly as it did with my JasJar. It is little buggy and not as reliable as I would like but it does do the job if you can live with the bugs.
I don't like the way GoodLink took over and make it difficult to have a clean uninstall process. I have been running it for a few days but I going to hard reset my device and install another software.
Also, GoodLink would be better if you could install it on a SD card.
Good luck,
Yep - I installed it and it worked fine. Two things: It needs to be a fresh install (no other apps) when you install, and it also needs to be installed to main memory (even the installer itself).
Now, the downside is that it disables ActiveSync. I had hoped that I'd be able to use Goodlink for my personal email, and continue to use activesync for my corporate mail account, but sadly not. I had to uninstall.
OK, so I installed GoodLink yesterday and here are my results and more info.
First off, I purchased an HTC TyTN Pro from NetworkingRus.com and this was my first purchase from them. Overall, I was very impressed. It was about the cheapest I could find it in the U.S. IN addition, shipping was LIGHTNING fast. I placed the order and 30 minutes later there was an e-mail that the item was ready for shipping. I was really impressed.
Second, I am using the default HTC ROM with the 7/22/06 date. It has been rock solid so far me, knock on wood. I run a pretty lean ship though.
SPB Pocket Plus
"" Weather (w/weather channel template)
"" Backup (Although I have to buy a new mini card)
GoodLink
So I installed GoodLink yesterday and low and behold, everything appears to be working just fine. I was previously using a Cingular 8125, but I wanted to run Mobile SQL and the 8125 doesn't have enough horsepower. I am hoping the TyTN will and so far it does. GoodLink has had issues from time to time in the past, but so far with the TyTN everything has been good, well for almost 24 hours.
The design of the TyTN is great. I have not had to remap keys so far, there are TONS of keys for me to use, and non so far I have not needed. I could do without the camera, but so far this thing is great.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Security is the reason why Goodlink must be installed to main memory. specifically when it comes to remote wipe. Since Goodlink is desgined for the enterprise it must have remote wipe feature. If app was installed to SD card and card was removed, remote wipe would be useless.
Also want to note Activesync and Goodlink should work fine together. Just use good for corp data and activesync for personal pop account. thats how I have it configured and its working fine.
Cheers
I've been using goodlink 4.8.1.14 for about a month without any major issues.
A hard reset of the device was required before it would install/sync successfully. In addition, I didn't activesync the tytn until after goodlink was installed and working correctly.
There are a few minor annoyances that I've encountered.
+Only some of the internal addressbook links have been set to goodlink. (i.e. sms, incoming call resolution, etc). This means I need to maintain both an outlook and goodlink directories
+Goodlink occasionally looses the ability to sync and a soft reset is required.
+There doesn't seem to be a way to exit goodlink. You can enter debug mode by typing 'DEBUG', but no command seems to fully exit the app.
Does anyone know of a site that contains goodlink tweaks or hacks? I've google'd around but haven't found anything yet.

why waste your time with Goodlink?? Emoze is free
And does all that and more, inlcuding syncing active sync etc.

Anyone know of a site like this that contains Goodlink tweaks and hacks? I agree, the biggest pain with Goodlink is that some of the phones functions specifically regarding contacts do not pull from the GL contacts db. It would be great if I could get my outlook to pull in info from my GL contacts...
Cingular 8525 and Good Link
Installed goodlink on the Cingular 8525 (aka Hermes) yesterday. Am really unhappy with the way this software takes over my contacts and calendar files. I run Pocket Informant, and would like for this to remain my default PIM just like I told it too. As things are right now, I usually get the Good contacts and Good calendar shown even when using apps like the phone.
If anyone here knows of an easy way to disable this, please let me know. I've found several postings about ways to do it on a Palm Treo -- including a cryptic on on the Good www site, but nothing about Windows Mobile 5.
Thanks
Use Cingular XPressmail if you just want to have push email from work. However, you need to have the client running on your work desktop.
ON my setup, I setup a VMWARE WinXP guest OS that connect to my office exchange via VPN and have the XPressmail running to push email to my 8525. The host OS still have it's own network connectivity to the Internet, online games, etc.

Lanwarrior-
Many people have no choice on the method of push email coming from work, including myself. I don't have rights to run anything directly from our Exchange server and my IT admins frequently run sw updates to my office pc at night which shuts down my pc and reboots. I work at a bank and they're nuts about security so I'm a little bit of a slave to whatever my CIO wants us to use for email and do not have admin access to make any changes to it.
Does anyone know of a Goodlink developers forum such as this one where registry tweaks are listed? There are so many little things I'd like to change about the Goodlink software.
Thanks,

Can you connect to your work email remotely via VPN? If yes, try to setup your home machine with the VPN software and Outlook configured with the Exchange setting. Then run the machine 24x7.
Does your bank allow Goodlink email connectivity? If yes, maybe you can talk to the IT admin.
Don't know enough about programing to know how to do this...but I know there has to be a way ... since I have the new Cingular ROM installed on my 8525 and when I re-installed Goodlink, mysteriously the linking between my good contacts and the dialer disappeard, and now, when I am in the dialer and hit "contacts", it links back to the regular contacts folder. Not sure why this is...

I've had GoodLink on my 8525 and 8125 before that for a total of about a year.
There are very few hacks available. I currently do a few things, like sync my contacts via activesync as well as Good so that they are in both databases - for photo contacts, etc.
The most important hack though is here, how to remove a forced password requirement.

My wife finally got her company to install Good on her Tilt so I'm going to try and set up activesync tonight so she can have the good info and her personal pim info available. Hopefully I can get both to play well together. I'm not worried so much about the button mapping as I am of any possible conflicts between the two. I've heard some of you say it worked while others had no luck so I'm not sure what to expect. I'll post when I'm done though...
My dual has suddenly stopped retrieving certain calendar appts. There is no pattern to it, just some do not come thru. I thought my exchng. server was maybe the issue, but all my other devices sync perfectly and retrieve all appts. I love my dual but I live by my calendar and must be able to rely on it to be accurate. Anybody else having any issue with calendar? I had agenda one installed, but the hard reset wiped it off and the issue persists. The hard reset did not improve it. So weird because it's only a few appts. The rest come thru as usual.I never know which ones won't make it. I'm baffled.
Hi,
do u find a support code for that error?
I have someting similar with the error 0x80070018.
Also u may try to run scanpst (if u have Outlook) sometimes the problem might be with the file on the pc.
I don't get any error, just missing the appts. I tried a test and sent myself a test appt. to recur daily as it seemed the vanished appts. were the recurring ones.(I had it set to never end) Then I sent one from the phone itself. One from the server to the phone and one from the phone to the server and both went thru fine. It's been really strange, but I'm probably just going to set appts. from the dual for awhile anyway. Might be more stable that way. All my nokia devices sync fine and always have. So it's some kind of wm bug. Thanks for the comment. I'm not going to sweat it anymore.
I have not even connected my jade to my PC yet but activesync keeps popping up in the running progams list?
It's beginning to annoy me somewhat i am running the orange stock rom has this been a previous problem before for anyone?
Hi
Since the official rom upgrade I get same thing. Activesync is always on...
Maybe you have to check if you have some programs that auto update like, RSS feeds or the weather, or your mail accounts, etc.
Hack the registry. Open HKCU/ Software/ Microsoft/ Activsync/ KeepAlive/ change 1 to 0. You can not delete the key so you have to this every time after sync. I know, it's not very elegant but it works.
I tried the registry way, not works for me, still keep on coming out by itself, I have to add a server source in activesync and change the settings to manually, set all peak times off, leave it there, then no more issue.
Thanks for the replys guys/girls looks like i will have to flash a custom rom to get rid of this problem then, a bit nervous as have not flashed a T3G rom before,i have flashed loads of kaiser roms so cant be too much different i suppose, but still brand new handset always gonna bit a bit worrying

Just got my senior members wings with this post
the best way not keeping alive the ActiveSync is to create fake server connection if there is not a problem for your Operator.
Howto is given many times in this forum.
Just search it..
