I've been using I-mate Jamin for more than a year now with few problems in Syncing my Outlook (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes.. )
Recently, the device started slowing down considerably, and failed to sync with Outlook. I did a hard reset & started all over. after many trials & hard resets, the problem kept arising, and I discovered that the problem occurs when I sync the Calendar to the device.
So I decided to sync only the past 6 months of Appointments instead of the whole thing. Turns out this is not the problem. I narrowed down the Problem to Birthdays. When I sync the Birthdays, the problem happens, all other Calendar appointments are OK.
I tried deleting all Birthdays and recreating them one by one (by re-saving the contacts that contain Birthdays) thinking that I have some corrupt ones, but even that didn't solve the problem. The newly created Birthdays still slowed down the device & prevented Sync and i even had to Hard reset the device again..
I can't figure out the problem at all.. these birthdays were on my device for the whole year, I didn't change anything subtle (like new ROM or new Application).. the problem just happened out of the Blue and I can't seem to solve it... I even tried syncing the Birthdays one by one.. the problem seems random, and to prove it, I re-created the birtdays as I said above..
Can anyone help???
I've been facing the exact same problem and have no solutions to it as well. It all started when I start to sync with another laptop though.

One day, for some reason, Activesync has been ignoring any new contacts and calendar items that I've added to Outlook. It will sync Notes and Tasks, but not the others.
I uninstalled and reinstalled AS4.5, but that didn't help. I have even gone as far as to reflash with both wm5 and wm6 roms, still no dice.
When it starts to sync for the first time, it will show "Contacts 0/210" then sit there and then just leave a checkmark and advance to the next item "Calendar 0/84", then the same, until it gets to Notes, Tasks and Favorites where it goes 0/20, 1/20, 6/20 and so on until it syncs all those items.
I'm kind of at a loss here. Now I have a reflashed phone with no contacts on it, which sucks. I'm at my wits end, does anyone have any idea why activesync is skipping my contacts?
Also, when I first sync, I get blank entries in Outlook, one for every legit entry. I had 210 blank contacts for 210 legit contacts, 84 blank calendar items for 84 legit ones, and so on.
I ended up "fixing" the problem by installing PocketMirror. Still odd, though.
Just wondering if anybody can help me with a syncing problem I've been having since linking my phone to Vista (and hence Windows Mobile Device Centre). When I sync my calendar it says it cannot sync one particular appointment (which I know was a recurring one). However the appointment doesn't appear in my Outlook calendar or my phone calendar. Is there any way I can remove this "phantom" appointment and hence get everything syncing again? I have tried removing the calendar from being part of the data and then adding it again, but that didn't seem to do anything (despite all my appointments being removed).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian
try deleting your partnership
Try deleting your partnership and try making a new one.
Done that, no dice - any other suggestions?
I'm sorry if there was any mention of this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it.
But what happened this afternoon was kinda troubling. I've just bought my HTC Hero, two days ago. I've synced it with outlook with 700 something contacts. And all was fine. There was some trouble with syncing, but all contacts were transferred to phone memory.
When out of a blue, this afternoon, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all contacts simply vanished. Calendar was still intact, txts as well, all fine but the contacts.
When I came home, I tried to sync it again but it just synced two calendar notes. It synced as if all contacts were on the phone, but they were not. So I've managed to restore them by over-riding phone with PC.
Can anyone explain this? How do I know this won't happen again?
I'm using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 as well as the latest edition of HTC Sync.
(maybe relevant, maybe not, I've managed to hopefully resolve the before mentioned troublesome connection when syncing by manually installing drivers for Windows 7)
Thank you. I hope I was clear.
Probaby an obvious one but if you go into Contacts=>Menu=>View have you accidentally unchecked the set contacts you want to show ?
I'm having the same problem, but running Windows XP w/ Outlook 2007 instead.
First time was using stock ROM. One day all my contacts disappeared (phone and google contacts). The phone contacts I retrieved by forcing HTC Sync to overwrite my phone's data with my PC's. The google contacts I retrieved by doing a factory reset and setting up my google account again.
Then I installed MCR 2.6, and again my contacts disappeared, but this time only the phone contacts (the google contacts remained).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The same problem, twice.
Both time I had this problem when I sent a message.
I think this should be a problem of the ROM-version, and I hope the next ROM will fix it.
I've been trying to figure this out forever.
Every once in a while my phone contacts will vanish, but the Google contacts always remain.
I've tried turning off synchronization for Google contacts and it seems that my phone contacts have stopped vanishing for now. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Simply migrate you contacts to google. Its very easy. Quite why anyone struggles with Outlook on Android is a mystery. I was Outlook mad pre the Hero, now everything is migrated to googlemail/google calendar/google contacts.
No USB connecting nonsense for updates, all over the air, 2 way sync. Much better than outlook ever was.
After upgrading to ROM 1.66, and re-synching everything back to the phone from Outlook over ActiveSync, I also re-synched with MyPhone. What happened was that duplicates of all my Documents (excel, word, notes etc) appeared in MyPhone, and the documents on my HD2 got overwritten with older versions that were already on MyPhone. Looking through the docs on MyPhone, I noticed most of them had THREE copies, which appeared to be from previous hard resets/ROM upgrades. How MyPhone can maintain several copies of the same files is beyond me, and it also seems MyPhone sometimes synchs up an OLD version, so you lose all the changes you had made since that old version.
So for now I have switched off MyPhone and am going back to just synching with Outlook, which seems to work very well.
Incidentally, last time I did a hard reset, which I had to do because the LOCK screen refused to recognize my password (that's another story), I initally got my data back from MyPhone, but then when I subsequently synched to Outlook, I got duplicates of all my contacts, notes, tasks etc, and had to manually delete all the duplicates, which took forever.
Has anyone else experienced these issues with MyPhone? Have a look at your MyPhone accounts folks, especially if you've upgraded your ROM recently, and see if you have any duplicate documents. Also check whether any of your docs have been replaced on your HD2 with older ones. I'd be interested to hear whether I'm the only one with these issues.
Cheers!
same issue but just contacts

yeah, it appears that neither one on them, (outlook or myphone) is compatible with each other, they both duplicate contacts.... I am obligated to use myphone service cause I often do hard resets without my pc in front of me, besides, my phone synchronizes text messages also... Making changes in outlook is so much easier an simpler, so when I need to do major changes to calendar for example, I Synchronize with outlook on my pc (previous cleaning of outlook which is a pain in the as*).... is sad that both microsoft products do not get along well
Not sure if this helps but I went to MyPhone web, into my account and noticed that there were 2 devizes on it. One was the ROM 1.43 and the other 1.66 based on sync dates.
While upgrading to WWE 1.66 I couldnt restore all my stored text messages from MyPhone which claimed that I have 0 archived.
On 1.48 there were no problems with it
Hi All,
I had searched through the internet and thsi forum and could not find similar issues which I have encountered.
Just bought my HD2 and happily set up the exchange sync. Everything synced as per expected except of the calendar. whenever it synced, it goes into an infinit loop (calender entries goes into the 10s of thousands!) and doesn't stop at all.
FYI, I have checked the settings many times and I'm 101% sure that I have only set this thing to sync for calender up to just 2 weeks ago.
Due to this infinite loop, I can't sync my calendar as everytime it active sync fires up, it chews up my CPU usage to 97% and the drains my battery.
Please help guys as i'm getting desperate.
Thanks!
hi guys, any suggestions/advice? Thanks.
I work with Exchange daily, and I've seen calendar sync problems before, but never this exact problem, so the suggestion I'm about to offer is just a best guess.
I would back up my calendar folder to a pst file, and then delete all my calendar items. You can do this by changing the calendar view to "category", doing a select all, and then hitting delete. (warning, this will break any meetings you’ve setup with other people on your exchange server).
Once you've deleted all your calendar items, try syncing again. If it starts looping with an empty calendar, I'm at a loss... All I could think to do would be backup your entire Exchange mailbox to a pst, delete your Exchange account and start over, but that would be a major pita.
If after deleting all your calendar items, the looping goes away, try adding a single entry into your calendar and see if it syncs. Then try importing everything back into Outlook, and see if the looping starts up again. Hopefully it won't. If it does, it's almost certainly a particular item that's causing the problem. You'll need to import sections of your calendar and watch for the looping to start. It will just be a slow painful process of elimination to find the item that is causing the problem. Once you've found the item, try deleting it and recreating it.

thanks mate. This is similar to what I had planned for, i.e. since I was only going to sync past 2 weeks' worth of calendar events, I might just archive all events in those previous 2 weeks on outlook (PC) then proceed with active syncing on the HD2. If it works, I would then slowly port the archived events one by one and try to isolate where the problem is. Will be doing this very soon. Stay tuned and thanks for the advice!
All just wanted to say I have resolved this issue.
For some wierd reason, Active sync got stuck (running in infinite loops) at the Exchange calender sync due to some of the past recurring calender events having a 'no end date'.
To resolve this, simply delete all these recurring events bearing 'no end date' and sync again. I did that and it worked!
I have also verified that this problem ONLY happens in the VERY FIRST Calendar sync. Subsequent Exchange Calender sync for recurring events bearing a 'no end date' have no issues syncing.
woohoo!
