This is a strange thing...
Here is my scenario:
I use ActiveSync to sync over my contacts, calendar and mail (from Outlook 2003). On each contact you have a field called "Birthday" where I enter the persons birthday. When doing this, a reminder is automatically created in the calendar.
The strange thing is that all birthdays are one day wrong on the contact in the PDA after a sync. The calendar reminder is correct.
I have found some old articles that this might be an ActiveSync bug, but no solution are presented. There must be some fix for this!?!?!
Has anyone else got the same problem? Please, help me!!!

Similar Problem
I think I have a similar problem to yours with birthdays...
All birthdays appears over 2 days both on my PC and on PPC...
I have 2 hypothesis for the problem:
-it's Active Synch and PPC's fault
-it's the PC calendar fault. I have been moving up and down between UK and Italy in the last 2 years, and there is a 1 hour difference between the 2. Now, Birthdays are recorded as "all day events" so when my time zone changes what was going between 0 to 12 goes between 1 to 1 or something like that, so I annoyingly get the birthday over 2 days...
Any solution or quick fix anyone???
THANKS!!! :roll:
I have the same problem as the original poster.
Device: Cingular 8525
OS: Windows Mobile 5.0
hello group,
I have searched the forums and the wiki, but have found nothing about this. I'm also looking at microsoft's kb, nothing yet.
when I set up a calendar appointment on my 8525 and add an attendee, an email gets sent to that attendee with the appointment via whatever email account you have selected in calendar options.
when I do this, the appointment that the other person receives is set to the time and day I sent it, rather than the time and day of the appointment.
has anyone else seen this?
is there a fix? perhaps the dst patch caused it. this didn't happen with my old harrier.
***update edit-
this only happens with outlook 2007. when I send to outlook 2003sp2 the appointment date and time is correct.
***
I'm still on the old 1.34.502.1 cingular rom, since I couldn't get blackberry connect working with the new att rom.
thanks in advance!

tried this with two different outlook 2007 installations and it is broken on both. can anyone that has access to a pc running outlook 2007 try this out and tell me if it is a problem for them, and what rom version you are using?
thanks!

What version Exchange are you running?
Have you installed that April OL2007 patch I saw mentioned on M$'s KB? Doesn't seem to address your issue but who knows...
I'l test with my Exchange 2003, OL2003 and OL2007 clients and see if I can duplicate your complaint later today.
thanks!
I'm using pop, no exch server. it works if I select the appt and send as an ics, but not when I set up the appointment on the hermes and add attendees so it sends the appt email automatically.
tytn account is pop,
outlook 2003 and 2007 are both pop too. don't have access to an exchange client running 2007, but exchange with outlook 2003 does work, I've tested that.
I haven't loaded the hotfix on the kb, because it does seem unrelated. all updates are applied.
posted the problem on the ms newsgroups for outlook 2007, but no replies yet.
thank you very much for your help!
wes
Sorry but you're on your own. I quit "popping" years ago.
Good luck!
ok,
thanks anyway.
for what it's worth, I don't think the mail service has anything to do with it. either the appt is formed incorrectly on the hermes, or it is interpreted incorrectly by outlook 2007. strangely enough, the same email appt. show up correctly in 2003, so it is something specific to outlook 2007.
thanks again,
wes
Can anyone help me out. I seem to be getting my messages around 7 to 10 minutes from the time it hits my desktop. I have set the settings to As items arrive on both peak and off peak and set that MON through to Sun.
Secondly as soon as I send an email from the phone it sends a copy to my inbox and cant seem to turn that off.
In Google Mail, I have Imap enabled but POP3 turned off.
Thanks for the help guys.
Just trying to prop this to top to see if anyone has a tip or two :-(
Got the same problem. Found a solution? Anyone else?
For the copy to inbox issue, check that you choose "Reply" and not "Reply all"
I've come to the conclusion that ActiveSync to Google services is not worth the hassle.
Four main reasons mobile GMail is a "fail" for me:
1/ Receiving ActiveSync messages is no-where NEAR real-time.
Example, I sent my GMail account a message 45mins ago. I can see it in my GMail inbox, but even though my activesync status shows as "connected" it's yet to appear on my phone.
Edit: OK, I just qualified my testing - msgs sent to GMail are near-instant. Messages sent to my pop3 account, which gmail checks, take considerable time to come through.
2/ Syncing existing Calendar appointments SPAMS all meeting attendees!
Example, I synced my phone calendar to gmail via ActiveSync, and gmail decided that it should send out a NEW meeting invitation to all recipients of every past & future appointment I'd ever *accepted*.
Old appointments like the 2009 Company Christmas Party were re-sent to everyone in the company from my GMail account!
I was not a popular boy.
3/ Sync'd Contact photos are very poor quality. Try it!
The online photo is extremely bad quality compared to the original in your phone. This becomes even more of an issue if you wipe your phone and re-download them from google. You've now just lost your original HQ photo.
4/ With Gmail set as an activesync connection, you're unable to change your reply-to address. You're forced to send as your gmail.com account.
With regular POP/SMTP, you can "send-as" any address you want. Gmail is not my primary email address, and I don't want people replying to it.
So for me, I've reverted to POP/SMTP for emails (send/receive every 10mins), and the MS My Phone service for backing up contacts, calendar, etc.

In all fairness, Gmail had some pretty serious outages the last couple of days. If the email has been even slower lately, that's probably why.
That said, I found the Gmail Activesync solution pretty unreliable as well.

Dont know whether anything in this will help?? I'm not using Gmail .. sorry
I don't have a problem using Google Sync. It's pretty instantaneous (almost on par with Blackberry). Just make sure you've set Activesync to receive items as soon as they arrive on both peak and off peak times (or set whatever interval you're comfortable with).
Yes. My only gripe is with the crap contact photos that are resynced back to the phone. GRRR!!
Works fine for me most of the time, but apparently for the past 15h or so it keeps failing, wanting me to resync everything every 20mins saying the Exchange server had a problem and not giving me all elememts that should be there.
hmm.. got no problem in the last 24h..
someone response in the pict of me and my wifey, we both got the notification almost the same time.. (my wife's using Blackberry)
While trying to find a solution to my unrelated mail problem I came across this .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584167
i don't think ActiveSync is as reliable (at least for gmail) on Windows Mobile as it is for iPhone. I have both set up to push all day and without fail the iPhone gets my mail first. sometimes it can take up to ten minutes for mail to arrive on my HD2. I even don't always get it when I push send/receive. This problem has continued for weeks, regardless of whether I use a stock or custom ROM
Another annoyance I'm having lately is that even though my phone is set to retrieve ALL mail I'm only getting mail from as far back as february. this is also happening on my iPhone and had been an issue for weeks now. Anyone know what might be the cause???
Maybe your mail from before Feb is not in yout "Inbox" anymore, but archived (visible in "All mail")?
Hello
I have the same problem. The service is quite slow. My friend has Iphone and is arrives in 5 seconds.
I also hate the low res contact pics that get sync'd, have not been able to figure out why yet.
thats weird, i just set up push gmail today, and i receive emails at the EXACT same time as my desktop google talk... that is, around 2-3 seconds after emailing myself from another account
I was just setting up the google sync on my phone but I was unable to "check mark" the calendar and contacts, is that because I didnt set this up on the computer? I keep seeing people say active sync so I guess I have to do this on the computer?
Sorry for bringing an old thread up, just playing with my HD2 and thought I would use the search box and see if anyone had some answers..
Thanks
Kyle

How do you retract the invites emails from gmail??
oh dear, you too?
AFAIK, you can't recall or retract messages sent from GMail.
Fortunately I am an Exchange Admin for my company, and used the ExMerge tool to sweep everyone's mailboxes & calendars to *move* to PST any messages received during that finite time window starting with "Invitation: " (I think it was).
Unfortunately ExMerge can't sweep based on the sender.
I have a problem with appointment reminders on my HTC Jade. I do not get reminders of any type for appointments set on the calendar. I had this problem again last month but it just went away after a couple of days. Now I've had it for almost a week and it doesn't seem as if it's going away.
The strange thing is that I see the appointments as upcoming on the phone home screen, I'm sure the reminders are set right but yet I do not get nothing as a reminder.
I wonder whether anybody who faced the same problem or knows something could help me out with this?
If this has been addressed, I apologize. My calendar is properly synced with Google calendar and on the PC, it shows all my events going back many years. But on my Axon 7 (Nougat 7.1.1), it displays only the last 30 Days. Any way to rectify this?
Thank you.
