OTA Activesync

Greetings, newbie here.. Just got my Cingular 8125 last week, and i've been trying to figure out how to used OTA Activesync over GPRS/EDGE with my laptop.. Is there any feasable way do do this?
I usually have a couple programs open on the 8125, Agile msgr, a RSS reader, weather apps, etc.. a lot of stuff that checks over GPRS/EDGE for updates etc.. but everytime i sync via USB with my laptop and Activesync, it hoses my GPRS/EDGE connection because of it having to use my laptop's network connection.
I'd like to sync with the laptop over GPRS/EDGE if possible.. if there's a app I need to purchase or whatever that's fine.. I'm running WinXPPro on the Laptop.. and WM5 on the 8125 of course..

As of 4.0, ActiveSync won't sync OTA. I think the only exception to this is if you're synching with an Exchange server. Only thing I've been able to find that will give me OTA sync is WebIS's Plaxo sync and, right now, that only syncs contacts. Check out their page for WebIS Mobile Sync

The only thing I can think of is installing kerio mail server. This acts as a mailserver and I succesfully synced my windows mobile with it. The only thing is that you need to configure your own mail server and thats not totaly what you are looking for...

syncing files without Active Sync. Possible?

Is it possible to sync files between my computer without hooking it up to the data cable?
Since I'm now online with an Exchange server I really have no other need to plug in the data cable so I was wondering how one can sync files?
If I could see the phone on my home network from XP I could run create a sync profile in my backup program but I've been told the phone can see network shares but vice-versa. Strange.
Thanks
David

If you sync the device once with ActiveSync, you can then use Bluetooth to sync... from your device.
Other then that, search G00gle for a PocketPC sync application

WM6 Sync when wireless connected?

Does anyone have any programs (or a way to setup WM6) to do a sync when wireless is connected.
I am in an environment where i am connected via wireless for half my day.
I would like to be able to sync with my exchange server over wireless when it is connected and not sync when its not connected.
I am wanting it to sync automatically every time it connects (or every X minutes while it is connected) via WLAN
I am running a Dopod 838 pro with WM6pro and syncing with exchange 2003.
Any help appreciated.

This might not be the exact answer for you... But check rk-OSR(Check my signature) for the utility to check emails using wifi.

Great App
Wow, thats a great app...
I will be using this unless anyone come up with a better solution.
Thanks for the prog tytnguy.
One suggestion for future versions,
Add a sync every X mins/hours option.
Also is there any way of having it sync without showing the window (like sync in the background)? Not that it is a problem, just would be a little tidier.
Once again, great work and thanks.

You could also use a tool like emoze (www.emoze.com). I can use it to sync my mail, contacts, appointments, etc....

Thanks for the suggestion emay but I already have Exchange server 2003 running, so all my emails and contacts are syncing correctly.
Its just getting it to do it automaticly over WLAN while its connected to save me data charges.

You may need to check your root certificates on your device and check with your admin about who you get your certificates though for the exchange server. They will have one if they have the exchange web mail log in enabled.
If you can get the certificate file to your device (tip: if it's a .crt file rename it a .cer so WM6 will read it). Then you can run it right off your device's file manager and it should install.
After that just make sure you're telling your device to sync via wifi.
Oh, and you can also configure peak times, this might save battery so your phone isn't constantly checking home wifi to sync. Also configure what to sync though the settings in your active sync menu, you should also be able to tell it only to connect wirelessly via wifi and not though your data plan.
I hope this all helps.

I used to use Funambol for this.

Is there anything like Funambol that works for OS X?

xoom android htc internet outlook

Hi ,
I have an HD2 and use it to sync to outlook at work and at home. I am interested in getting a motorola xoom or other tablet PC. (discount codes claiming 10% reduction at PC world NOT working).
My questions are...
1. if I put android on my HTC HD2 can I sync with outlook still and carry my calander between work and home.
2. If I go for a WiFI only version of the Xoom will I be able to connect via BT/Wifi and use the phone as a portable modem Like I presently do with my laptop. And if so is it easier to do this with android or MW6.5 ?? This would save paying an extra £100 and data plan for the 3g version.
Hope someone can help.

Easy Answer:
1. YES, even better, Android supports multiple exchange-accounts
2. YES, almost all Android Roms support WiFi Tethering in multiple ways
[EDIT]
What exactly do you mean with "sync with outlook"? If your company does have an exchange server (like most i think) and this one is reachable from the web (outlook web access) - YES.
If you`re really just syncing with Outlook you will need an HTC Sense Rom, so HTC Sync is supported (by this way you can sync with Outlook StandAlone).
Exchange syncs mails, calendars and contacts, HTC Sync does the same i think (my company does have an Exchange Server).

Thanks for your answer.
i have outlook for my calander only at work and on home laptop. I sync via usb cabel not server. could i continue this with an android version on my HD2? my mail at work is outlook but i dont think they alow you to sync this via internet due to confidentiality

Yes, you can sync an Android device in many ways with Outlook. Visit www.syncdroid.net to find a large listing of software to perform the task. The have chart that lists, among other things, whether the software syncs with USB, Wi-Fi, or wireless. If you want to use USB, find the ones that sync via USB and you are set!
