you make sync with the pc once?
looks on contacts in outlook

oh haven't think about it thank you very much

and the second question is how can i re-arrange my contacts(which are now in outlook)to the device?I'm a novice as you can see

i dont use outolook to sync my contacts so maybe i cant help much..
but, try to sync again your device...probably he will get again your contacts

just sync your phone again, it should add the contacts back in

I have formatted my phone,upgraded it to wm6 so the ID of the phone has changed.So reconnecting does not work because sync does not recognize the old phone.Which software do you use to recover the contacts?

It will give you a new Id (which you can change later). Whatever ID you use, it will still sync with your contacts.

Using the USB cable to do the sync as i think this would be the fastest method, you could try making a copy of your contacts folder in Outlook and then delete everything from the main contacts folder. Then copy the contacts from the copy you made earlier in small batches (25, 50 or 100 whatever seems to work best) and do a sync after copying each batch in.
NOTE: you will need to make sure your ActiveSync is set to replace items on the device so that with each sync it updates with only what has just been copied to the contacts folder.
I havent tried this, but in theory it should work.
Cheers
Thanks,
but my main question is it possible to sync over 1000 records?
I have a customer who has about 5000 customer...
Is there any software which can hold it out of the standard contact program, but also, can be connected to the phone?
Is there an option to keep all the contact on the SD card?

hi,
I have a way over 1.700 contacts, no problem with sync (besides it is slow for the 1st time)
you can cut off the connection anytime & continue later- sometimes it even helps...
the ony problem I had with so many contacts on my xdaII, that caller ID was slow - you got the number, but not the name
but with my wizard, it is gone: caller ID works like charm
regards,
ym
Hi,
I would like to know if having over 1000 contacts slow you device as well, or just the Caller ID?
How long time it's take you to sync each time ? Short process or long one?

Loads of contacts across different outlook folders.
I am looking to sync about 1000 contacts spread across several contacts folder (minimum 2 folders). I realise i can copy them across to my wizard device by syncing with each folder one at a time, ( it doesnt matter if they are stored in the same location on my phone as i can filter by categories) however, is there are a way for me to actually keep my device in sync with multiple contacts folders on our PC/network as business contacts are shared out and seperate from my personal ones.
I have been searching the forums with no luck so far for a solution on this.
I have seen the GAL solution from microsoft but this only works for internal contacts and is not really a solution for us.

Just a tip - when your device is sync'd with your pc make a copy of pim.vol in the root directory of your device to pc or storage card\backup. pim.vol has all the contact and appt info in it so will be much easier for you when you next have to reset your device.
hope this helps!
I have 9 folders and 6200 contacts, its almost liek a phone book. The first time it took forever, but now its quick.
What S/W do you use to sync that many folders?
I have one HTC TYTN and active sync 4.5 beta, I have 7 different folders in my outlook program, but I can only sync with the default folders contacts to my ppc is there a way I could sync all 7 folders in one shot ? I know about Pocketmirror but 50$ US is too pricey for me, I would have paid half of the price for this app.
Do I have some other possibilities ?

Problem with contacts and activesync

hi all.
i have a few things id like to ask:
i recently just upgraded my wizard, then downgraded to the same rom again.
i used spb backup.
apparently it didnt save any of my contacts nor my text messages. (any ways to do that for the future?)
anyway, im sure they are on my activesync, but for some reason, it refuses to recognise my device as the same one and wants to pair it as a new one. new one means no contacts. is there any way i could just reload it and get my contacts?i removed outlook as i hate it, and had thought id done everything that needed to be done!
Thanks for helping

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.

Lost new contacts after Active Sync,need help.

i have not sync my phone with PC since last 2 months,and when i connect my phone today with PC,screen pop-up and there were 3 options.
1) do you want to combine contacts from pc to device
2)do you want to remove contacts from device and sync with outlook
3) donot do anything at this time.
so i press option 1
And now i lost my new contacts from my device which i have added in last 2 months.
i can only see contacts which i had in my outlook.

Plz help if someone knows?

Double entries for all my contacts :(

I searched the Leo forum and couldn't find any answers
I'm having a not so cool problem with my contacts and people folders..
Everybody has a double entry I had the same problem before and after installing a new ROM, so the installation might not be the problem afterall. I sync my Leo with Windows Mobile Device Center and with Microsoft My Phone. What can I do ? How can I return to just one entry for everybody ?
10x all in advance
PS : I think I'm doing something, cause with my Fujitsu Siemens N520 - Windows Mobile 5 ( I dont know for sure ) I clearly remember having once the same problem
What view?
Are you viewing both sim & contacts? Need to set to view 1 or the other, not both. I view contact, it shows more info..
I had the same problem after installing new rom and syncing with my pc.
There are manual ways of fixing this, but I think the easiest way is to use Microsoft My Phone. It has an option to check for duplicate contacts and delete them.
But be careful not to be left with empty contact list on your phone. Like I did once... Hopefully I had synced my contacts on my office computer.
Try this...Go to - Phone/All People/Menu/View/ select Contacts or SIM
I use direct push from my exchange server and i had this when sycing to my pc using activesync for the first time. The problem is caused by the phone telling the pc that the contacts are more upto date that the pc's. To get around this change the activesync options to "pc overwirtes the device" (it's not exactly written like that but i guess your smart enough to figure it out) and delete all the duplicate contacts from the phone and pc. You won't get it again. If you are seeing the contacts from your sim card should notice the icon for them is differnet. If this is the case then follow the instructions given above to disable sim contact viewing.
There is free software to cope with this prob on freewarepocketpc and also in SKTools or PocketMechanic.
Del doubles on phone (check bef proceed), clear contacts complelety on PC and Myphone and then resync. Worked well for me.
use the attached, works a treat on the HD2.it can be used to remove duplicate calender entires too. Thanks to the developer, cant remember where I got the cab from.
I use dupededupe.
Work very well and is very easy.
Only 72KB
Thanks all for the responses
Sorry for posting so late, I was away for a couple of days
Eventually, I used My Phone - I entered the site, checked for duplicates - and deleted all the duplicates, and afterall, I synced my phone. Fortunately, it worked fine
10x again, Ive just downloaded the little software and I'll keep them if the problem reoccurs .
10x again!
Good luck all!
