Creating and backing up contacts - HD2 General

I've serched the forum but I haven't found and answer to this specifc questions:
I want to add new contacts to my HD2. Is there a software that allows me to create those contacts in my PC and then transfer them to my phone?
Once I have the contacts, I'd like to back them up using MS My Phone, but I have a very low traffic limit on my mobile connection. Can I connect the phone to my pc and use the pc's internet connection to sync my contacts with MS My Phone? That way I wouldn't be charged internet traffic by my carrier.
Thanks

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

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

Problem with Sync Favorites, Bookmarks...

Hello, Guys… Please, help me… I searched on Forum, but I found nothing.
I have a very unusual problem to synchronize the Favorites.
I had a TyTN (serial 630…) and it had no problem with synchronizing the Favorites between device and PC.
(I Used and use Office 2007, ActiveSync 4.5… and I have 360 Bookmarks in 30 Folders (under “Device Favorites” on PC)
Now I have a new TyTN with serial 650 and the same ROM (1.18.258.2 07/22/06 ITA)of the first TyTN.
When I Synchronize the TyTN for the first time, all it’s correct. Active Sync puts ALL the folders and ALL the Bookmarks into device.
When I Synchronize for the second time, the folders and the bookmarks into device remain the same. BUT on PC many bookmarks disappear (62 remain) while the number of Folders remains the same.
When I Synchronize for the third time, the folders and the bookmarks into device ever remain the same. BUT on PC more other bookmarks disappear (the number of Folders remains the same).
At the end I have ALL Bookmarks and ALL Folders on TyTN, while on PC I have 40 bookmarks (about) and ALL Folders.
The same problem happens if I write step by step the Bookmarks on Device.
So, if on TyTN I write (about) 70 Bookmarks in 8 Folders and Synchronize with PC, it’s all OK .
But if I write more bookmarks on Device and I want ho synchronize these ones on PC, Is not possible! These ones remain only on device and they can’t go on PC!
I tried to change any type of settings without results. I tried Hard Reset, Format PC, reinstallation of ActiveSync and Office too.
What can I do?

I have the Cingular 8125.
One thing I can say is that the Sync between the 8125 and ActiveSync is buggy. For instance, It keeps wiping out my favorites bookmarks on my system when doing a bi-directional sync. - wierd.
Anyways, After playing around with this phone for a few weeks, I do know that ActiveSync uses TCPIP via USB to communicate with the 8125. My suggestion is to temporarily disable any and all firewalls and see if it syncs up. When I plug my phone in I get a new network adapter that shows up and obtains an IP address from nowhere (169.254.2.2) as my systems are firewalled from the internet entirely and I don't run DHCP on my network.
I suggest the following:
1) See if Windows see a new network adapter when you plug in the 8125.
2) Disable all firewalls from that adapter.
3) Establish a firewall ruleset allowing data for both your local private network subnet (10.1.0.0/255.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0/255.255.0.0, 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) and the 8125 network subnet (169.254.2.0/255.255.255.0)
4) When the phone is connected, it shows up in "My Computer" as "Mobile Device".
Hope this helps.

windows live messenger, bluetooth

i have a bluetooth connection to my pc.
the internet is shared so i can access internet on my mobile.
i would like to use windows live messenger on my WM6 mobile threw bluetooth connection.
internet explorer can access web pages so the connection is working.
but i get this error from windows live.
"Windows Live was unable to establish an Internet connection. Pleas check your Internet settings and make sure that you have access to data services under your billing plan. If you need help, please contact your mobile service provider."
i get same error when trying to use windows live via activesync using usb connection.
i was able to get fring to work using active sync. but fring is a pain to use. no groups and its hard to tell who my contacts are if they change their display name.
i would just like to use windows live messenger.
how do i get windows live to work with bluetooth or activesync? preferably without using activesync and just using a bluetooth network.
never had any problems getting msg to work over an activesync connection
try
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select network
and make sure your home network is selected rather then your isp
and if that don't help I'd sugest getting a different version of msg as some of them don't work with anything but gprs
okay thanks, ill try some different versions
i have tried the version that comes with my phone, samsung i780. and the latest version form microsoft site. they did not work for me.
does anyone have a link to a version they know that works threw activesync?

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!
