Can someone please help me out. I'm using rDosti V11. Fantastic ROM, love it. However, one thing I can't work around is that whenever I'm syncing all my email with Outlook, it will suddenly stop somewhere whilst syncing the attachments. Connected through USB. Given, I'm syncing almost 150 email in full HTML with attachments (some of them) to SD Card, I can't understand why this is happening. And it syncs slow also. I re-installed ActiveSync, but that didn't help. Didn't have this issue on Tomal's ROM or the Original i-mate ROM. That's all I've tested.
No problems when syncing to my JAM (Magician) running WM2003 SE. The worst thing is, I have to restart my mobile to resync, coz it still thinks it's connected to PC. Even when I tap disconnect from the tray, it just doesn't know what to do. So I soft reset, re-sync and sometimes it tells me, "there's been a change in the database, do you want to resync all your items." Then I've got to tap YES to continue, and back at square one. Sucks. I don't want my Uni to be useless.
Please advise.

Hey,
Yesterday i was using my JAM fine, contacts were all there and everything, then today i open up my contacts and they are all missing?
The only thing i ran was maybe the club imate email config program, thats it.
Anyone have any ideas why this would happen?
I had to transfer them all from my sim again.
Thanks

Yep, that's what happens when you run that program. It tries to sync with Imates server and erases all of the information on your Phone. Lesson learned. Never do it again. I deleted Club Imate from my phone all together. :-(
the same happened to me. jam was turned to use server connection (to connect to i-mate services) and all local contacts were erased . . .
same experience here! never installed the imate customizations after that. if you sync with your desktop regularly i'm sure you'd get your contacts back
that is, actually, what i did
Just about to open Windows (on the top floor) and throw this thing through it!
Been waiting for months to upgrade to exec from xda2s, and 18hours after opening the box i'm ready to junk it. Cannot get it to sync at all. Read all the forums, zone alarm off, norton off, tried running as4.1, and still i'm getting dizzy watching this little green wheel going round and round and round and round and round..... 'connecting'
Does anybody have a work around or managed to get it to work. Without this facility the units useless to me, apart from maybe a quick £300 quick profit on ebay.
Help please.
I had a simlar problem, until I reluctantly ditched all my other Active sync partnerships (like my xda2 PPc partnership). then created a new partnership and it worked fine.
Good luck
Hi, Stupid question, but where do the older profiles live on my pc? I've looked in the activesync folder but no clues.
Open Avtivesync, go to file, click on mobile device, check and see what devices you have listed. then go to Delete mobile device.
This realy was a quick fix for me , you should be able to have multiple patnerships, perhaps some one else could suggest a better solution.
Thanks for your advice, but it looks as though I had deleted all previous profiles when I did a clean install of as4.1, and still getting dizzy!
Thought about calling O2, but quickly realised I would have better luck just ringing a random number out of the phone book.
I've tried every combination in the connection settings box, still no joy.
Need a solution soon before I reach for the Scotch and Razor Blades.
I've completely given up with this thing. Managed to get it back in the box (which was a minor challenge compared to getting Activesync to work), somebody please save me from ebay.
Do you have you Exec running in Corporate mode? I found that in this mode it won't sync; you just get "Connecting"...and nothing.
I switch to basic or personal and it syncs with no problem. Myabe this will help.
If the machine you are trying to sync with is connecting to an Exchange Server then you will have difficulties.
Try syncing the calendar, contacts and tasks direct with the exchange server and do the rest (notes etc) with the laptop.
Activesync 4 is so rubbish I have resorted to wirelessly syncing direct to my exchange server.
For a while I was cursing the Exec as I had just got my 2s just how I wanted it when I up(?)graded but I remembered that half the fun of these things is solving the problems, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time!
The main thing that you need to remember with ActiveSync 4.x is that you must install this before connecting your EXEC.
If you don't the microsoft driver gets installed instead (and in my case) no amount of deleting/reinstalling was able to recover the situation.
Whilst I was in the middle of that crisis I did some basic PD to try and rectify. Including
a) Installing AS 4.1 build 4807 on another system (preferably clean installed say XP SP2)
b) trying another cable
c) Doing a hard reset of your device and then repeating above steps
d) (obviously!) removing all previous versions of ActiveSync (also afterwards using regedit to remove any final traces and erasing C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync) and then re-installing
I have tried to include some Device Manager pictures of a working system for reference purposes
Throught trial, and very much swearing at the walls, I've discovered the following:
1. If I have the XDA Exec switched on and connect the USB cable, then I can guarantee a 95% failure to connect.
2. If I turn off the Exec, by the power-switch on side, then connect the USB cable and just leave ActiveSync to power everything up, then I have a 95% success connection rate.
On very odd occasions, I've had to disconnect the Exec, turn it off, then plug the USB in again. And once I restarted the workstation first - probably didn't have to, but was going for a coffee anyway.
AGHHH
I had a failure with Active Sync and established that it still worked with my 2 C500's so I phoned orange.
Eventually made my way to level 3 (highest) tech support to be told that its microsofts problem and that they have withdrawn Active Sync 4 until they can fix it.
I can connect to my M5000, move files via explore but as for the necessity of syncing itand my contacts..............forget it

Interaction with Outlook
My sync problems went away when I configured Zonealarm to allow it to connect.
I also had to install Outlook, which I don't like as I use Thunderbird for Email. Sync would still not work untill I allowed Outlook to be the default email client. However, I have not defined any accounts on Outlook and Thunderbird does not seem to mind.

I got a whole series of increasingly depressed emails from my TBird install after I stuck Outlook on my lappie... In the end I had to take it out for the evening, give it some new extensions and what-not before it started talking to me again...
Hi there,
Over the last few weeks I have had a problem syncing mu phone, I am able to connect and browse and install software via my PC but it refuses to sync, it starts good by saying that it is looking for changes, then it asks me if I want to combine, overwrite and so on and then after I make my selection it simply says 'Synchronization Error' and remains connected but that is it.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading activesync and my ROM, but what ever I do I get the same result, I have tried on another computer also and still the same.
Please help me as I am going mad, it is not quite a brick, bu is not far from it if I can not get my information on to it.
Cheers
Update
After going back anf forth with versions, I managed to do one full sync ( thank God, now I have my data back at least). but now again, it is failing,WHY ? connection exists, browse and so on works, only the sync does not work.
Do you have bluetooth?
I has a similar problem, I setup a sync profile with my PC via bluetooth and synchronised it through BT. After plugging in the cable afterwards my Syncing was fine...
worth a try
syncing problems
I had the same problem but I seemed to work through it by removing the Mobile Sync 4.5 and re-installing it. It looks like it's not working, but after the install bar goes about half way, everything is on, including the calendar and the Outlook Database. Good luck!
Okay, I know of the problems with some of these HTC phones, and mine is no exception... My 8525 (WM6) usb port has died (tried all the reset tricks, different cables), everything, except for making a custom pinned cable..
Regardless, I still NEED to use active sync. I know I can use bluetooth, but there lies the problem. I did a total reset on the phone while diagnosing the cable problem, and I cannot use BT as the initial activesync (wont let ya). Computer sees the phone, phone sees the computer, activesync starts when I press sync on the phone, but disconnects shortly after.
Is there a way I can force the BT / Activesync as the initial connection, can I use IR as the initial connection? Anybody else had any luck with this..
If the answer is.. yer screwed, any other options out there? I used PIMBackup to grab the contacts off my backup phone (8125 wm5), so I could at least have those. I mainly need to sync my contacts and appointments from outlook to the phone.
Hope there is...hope.
Dan
Dan,
If you are on an Exchange server, you can set up exchange activesync and your contacts will be stored on the server while you have your device replaced. Other than this, I am unsure.
Good luck, I have had this problem on four different AT&T 8525.
Thanks Cliff,
I can continue to use PIMBackup with the device and SD card to create backups, I'll just not be able to sync appointments, so the Exchange will probably not be needed (good thing, since I am clueless on exchange anyhow).
Also, FYI, Cingular / ATT will not be replacing this phone. This is my 4th 8525.. The first 2 they replaced, no questions. #3, they finally gave in after I told them about the info on this forum, and others, documenting the problem. This time, they said it HAS to be user, and they would not warranty it... Fantastc huh..
That's why I used my 8125 as a "backup phone", I have been down that road.
Still looking for a BT solution though.
For the 3rd time my phone has lost all my contacts...
This has happened with 2 differnt ROMS.
Does anyone have any ideas?
John
You could save your contacts to your sim card.
just backup with google synce or myphone?
Thanks guys, I have my phone set up with an Exchange Server, but I have to set the phone back to factory settings eachtime becuase the Activesync software fails to work once the contacts have been lost.
I'm really looking for a solution or reason why this is happening to me so I can avoid it.
-John
All of your contacts should be pulling from your exchange server... Are you trying to sync by connecting it to your desktop? Are the contacts disappearing during a sync?
wow! I annotated even joking..... i just lost all my contacts again!
when I attempt to run ActiveSync itopens briefly and shuts down.
i have also lost my imap4 email too....
WFT, could I really be the only one having this issue?
John
SO are you syncing with it attached to your computer or doing it with the data connection wireless? An exchange sync doesn't work if you are connected to your PC.
Also curious if your data connection is poor or if you have tried connecting to a wireless network before syncing?
Do you only lose your contacts when you are trying to run active sync and it crashes?
I never sync directly with the PC - gsm/wifi connection only.
I have had Windows CE devices since the begining of time... Other than the odd software bugs, etc I have never come across anything like this... Four times I have lost 100% of my contacts, email accounts cleared from my phone etc.
Only a full factory reset will allow me to connect with ActiveSync again. Yesterday it happened waiting to see doctor - good thing I had a long wait.
I am not "running" ActiveSync. I have it set for Push, so it syncs all the time.
Maybe try turning off push at first and using Active Sync to pull in everything in the beginning?
I have hard reset my HD2 several times and each time I set up my exchange I manually ran active sync. it takes like 4 times running it to bring all 1500 of my contacts and all of my work related emails into my phone, but it's never crashed on me yet during the sync...
I could do that, but if I turn push off I won't get my email updates, contacts won't get updated/backed up.... :/
Just initially leave push off... Not forever. Once all of your contacts are in there, after doing a manual active sync several times possibly, turn push back on.
I use push mail every day during the week, but when I first setup my phone I run a manual active sync to get all of my contacts and emails on my phone because if I just rely on push to do it initially, it won't import everything. I think I just have way too much to sync or something?
oh, the loosinh of data happens several days after the initial sync. maybe 3 to 6 days later. i think 6 days is the longest It's gone without loosing all the datda.
