Does anyone know of a program or something that will display the current ActiveSync status on the today screen... eg: the last date/time sync, current connection status (connected, waiting etc..)?
Cheers all

Every time I plug my XDA2 into the cradle at the moment, I get an ActiveSync error dialog saying:
"
The following information type on your mobile device has items that have not been syncronised with this computer before.
Information type: Favourites
"
Then there are three radio buttons:
"
- Combine the items on my device with the items on this computer
- Replace the items on my device with the items on this computer
- Do not synchronize this information type at this time.
"
It doesn't matter which option I choose - the same message comes right back next time. I've tried removing the favourites from the list of items to be sync'ed, and the dialog doesn't appear any more, but then my favourites don't get sync'ed. :? When I re-add the favourites to the list, the error dialog comes back. :evil:
I can't get to the Microsoft site to look at the ActiveSync troubleshooters at the moment, so if anyone has any quick solutions or suggestions for me they'd be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone suggest anything?
Hi everyone!
Just had an upgrade to the Exec after having my Xda2i replaced by insurance.
I've put it into corporate mode, setup active 4.1 on my laptop, made backups of anything I needed off a borrowed Xda2i and sync'd all the notes/contacts info.
Installed and created a new partnership with the Exec and all seems ok - it does it's sync function. However, I notice that only about half of my contacts appear in the listing. Going through options I ensure 'Filter' is set to 'all contacts' and 'View by' is 'name'
checked the settings in Activesync and that all appears ok.
Still only half of the contacts appear.
To test, I make a change in Outlook 2003 on a contact that is showing up on the exec, save change and almost immediatley I see the change on the exec's screen. I then make a change in a contact that isn't appeating on the exec and it shows the sync icon working, makes the positive sound.
Still doesn't appear on screen.
Am I missing something stupid ? or is there a setting to 'display all' contacts?
Anyone know how to resolve?!
Cheers!

Hi Dennis!!,
You check, if some of yr contacts in Outlokk appear in "Other" field..if Yes, then use the export/import function of Outlook 2003, edit in CSV file,import it back, and do the sync... :lol:
Update
I just downloaded and installed the latest ROM from the O2 Xda website. Installed no problem at all.
Just tried sync and the same occurs. Not all of my contacts 'show'
I noticed on the sync '83 items' in the contacts section. Sure enough a manual count of all my contacts shows '83' of em. The sync then says 'syncronised' so I assume all is OK. Doing the same test as before and the 'positive' beeps when updating a record in outlook still occur, leading me to beleive the record IS in the Exec, just that it isn't being displayed in my contacts screen/list/view. I count only '24' of my contacts showing on the Exec
I went through carefully on my outlook, changing each record to be included in a Personal or business catagory only, no difference (every change made the positive beeps after saving)
Any other ideas of why this occurs? I've been digging around to see if there's any 'hidden' option in display etc - no joy...
It's annoying, as I cant see my regular contacts that I need frequently...
Any pointers/fixes would be great!

'm not sure if I have a problem with Activesync because I have installed pocket weather and although it displays on my front today screen, it's blank, it just says no weather data available.
It has not appeared in the list of options to sync and the other thing that's odd, when I click on 'file' and 'connection settings' in Active sync, nothing happens, nothing comes up?
I had 'worldmate' on my old XDA and I tried that on this one and had the same proble so that makes me think it's Active sync.
I have 4.2 but I have also tried 3.8 and 4.0 with the same issue?
Any ideas on this one?
Greeting,
Sorry if this has been covered but every search comes back blank.
I live in Perth Western Australia and we have just started daylight savings for the first time. Problem is when I move my clock forward the 1hr it keeps changing all my appointment times by 1hr also....which I don't wont to happen!
I assume I'm doing something wrong but can't see the solution, could some please advise how to change times without changing appointments.
Cheers all,
marto
A further update on this. O2 don't have any solutions, there advise is to "uncheck" the "Synchronize Mobile Device clock upon connecting" box which is under the Options tab in Microsoft Activesync.
The other strange thing is all dates in my Outlook calender since the commencement of daylight savings have moved themselves forward 1hr even though the time on my mini are still correct??
Perhaps microsoft have a solution or answers.

Here in Europe DST starts on the last Sat/Sun of March and ends on the last Sat/Sun of October. As long as the timezone and regional settings are right the OS pops up a message asking the user for confirmation of the time change. Your PC must likewise be set accordingly for appointment times to be in sync.
I think this auto on/off of DST is built-in in the OS. Since it is the first time that Australia is using DST, I'm not so sure if would work for you automatically. You might have to manually advance the clock by 1 hour to both your unit and PC.
We've just started DST (Sydney, Australia) today and I noticed that my PC (Vista) changed automatically but my PDA (JasJam) updated with HTC WM6 didn't change. I can't find anywhere to sync the clock with the computer in Vista Mobile Device Centre and can't find anything on WM6. I did a sync and soft reset but it still stayed on non-DST time. I manually changed the clock and synced and the time stayed and my appointments stayed ok in Outlook but I'm not sure what's going to happen with my invitations to other ppl though.
Is there supposed to be somewhere to change the region/time to DST??
When I am checking Taskbar to close down apps I always seem to find ActiveSync there.
I thought this was only for syncing with pc [or MS Myphone which I don't think I have set up yet ]
Why does it keep restarting and how can I check/change its settings on the phone please?
Just trying to find a way to lessen battery drain
