Tired of Active Sync...what are my options

Out of the blue I am getting an error when sync with ActiveSync:
Support Code: 86000107
I have surfed all day and have found nothing to fix this issue. Are there other apps I can use to sync with Outlook?
I do not sync Exchange
In Outlook all I sync are:
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Task
Ewallet
Pocket Quicken
No emails
What other sync programs can I use with Outlook & the device?
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading
Not aware of any other app that can sync. But you can try the following to fix this issue:-
1) Try deleting the existing partnerships in active sync (Open activesync on your PC - File - delete mobile device. Reconnect and try again
2) If that does not fix the issue, uncheck all the sync items and add them one at a time back with a sync in between each addition. Sometimes your tasks folder or calendar can cause this issue.
This is also a know issue with Microsoft so if the above doesnt help try searching for this error code at the MS forums or try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2100290
Visto Mobile will sync with Outlook and Exchange. There's a personal and a corporate edition:

You didn't happen to have sync'd an email with an attachment just before it died did you? Or does the very next email in line that would have sync'd have an attachment? If so let me know what kind it is. We ran into a similar error (Wish I could remember if it was the same exact # right now) at work before.

How to delete live messenger contacts?

The first time I used live messenger (as an experiment by the way), it synchronized all my messenger contacts to my jade's contact list. So now, i have about 250 contacts, 90% without telephone numbers, which kinda... sucks .
Is there a way to delete these contacts with one handling, so i don't have do delete all of them one by one, also without deleting my outlook contacts?
Hi Rubain,
I got the same disappointment. I once logged into messenger and the whole list popped up in my contacts list. I discovered the reason. If you login to messenger before setting up the synch options by Windows Live, this happens. Just go to START-PROGRAMS-WINDOWS LIVE and choose the option to sig in with a different acct. Once you make it the you lose the automatic set up WINDOWS LIVE made. Now sign in to WINDOWS LIVE first, before signing into messenger. Follow the steps described in the User Manual under the capitel WINDOWS LIVE and uncheck the box "SYNCH MY LIVE CONTACT WITH MY ADDRESS BOOK".There you go. You once again have your live messenger and hotmail account on your device but this time without the contacts in your address book. Hope it helps.

[Q] How can I sync my contacts,text messages,etc.to my hd2 wp7?

Hi, i having a problem to sync my contacts,text messages,etc from my old OS (windows mobile 6.5) to WP7. I have backup my contacts and text messages to Myphone app, but WP7 seems don't have the app. So how can I syn my thing since WP7 don't have the desired app? Did anyone have ideas to help me solve this problem?
Check is WM7 is what you need...
That's a big WM7 issue. As far as I know (I just flash it yesterday and went back to droid) the only way to sync all is to use the "cloud", Gmail or Exchange. No way for the moment to synch anything with your computer!
The job to port WM7 is awsome, it works very nicely but the OS itself is crappy.
My HD2 became a toy for music, hotmail etc...
But as a computer peripheral it's useless (I need something which doesn't send all my contacts and appointments to a third party company as MS or google).
Check what you need in order to decide if WM7 is for you or not.
***please don't misunderstand my post, the port of WM7 is a great job! it's only the usage I need from my phone which is not compatible with this OS but all was working as it has to, fully activated by MS, access to market... really great job***
but maybe soon...
Regarding the amount of complains from "pro" users on the MS Forum, they may update Zune to sync more than just music, pictures...
So wait for updates from MS or third party (SpriteBackup, ...) apps to give the ability to backup/restore (at least) or sync directly with a computer.
Don't forget WM7 is still a new OS.
i am using gmail to sync my contacts =)

I tried Gmail and it's work, but I think the contact pictures are with poorer quality.
me to) no problem at all) everything is seems to be working ok...all apps loaded after jailbreak and it has not lock for 3 days...htc hub is veeeeery nice...the only minor issue is it seems to not recorgnize contry code for phone numbers.. if a contact call and my address book do not have this contact with the +47 t does not know that number...but as sayed .....its just a beta...i have never had a so stable beta before))

You can also sync through LIVE. Try this for better pictures Although Gmail is a more universal solution of you plan to go back to Android or have a second phone with this OS as I do

Exactly my problem too. I can save contacts with the usual number xxx xx xxx, and it works all good until i get a text from the very same number, but with country code added.. +47xxx xx xxx is not recognized as xxx xx xxx.. and the other way around again.. hoping for a fix soon
does someone know how to sync microsoft myphone with wp7.....cause i have all my contacts and sms backuped there....:S and i cant find a way to sync them with wp7 or Live services....any ideas?
You can't. Myphone is only for Windows Mobile, not Windows Phone. The best you can do is to log in on your pc and transfer your contacts to hotmail or gmail, then sync. Don't know what you can do about your texts at the moment.
Caller ID

You can fix this in the registry by setting the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Worked for me
thnx to xboxmod
A work around?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?
I was able to sync my contacts from my WM6.5 to wp7. Used to have all my HD2 contacts saved in Outlook contacts. I exported all those contacts as an excel (or you can do it as an csv-comma separated values) file to my documents. Then I created a Windows Live ID on my desktop. It is basically a hotmail account. Imported contacts to my Windows Live ID account from my documents. So all your contacts are saved online in your Windows Live account. Then I signed into Windows Live on my WP7 HD2 and imported all my contacts from my online account.
I also want to know. Currently I have Outlook stored my WM6.5 contacts, calendar, tasks, and PIMBackup stored my texts and call logs. Any 3rd party WP7standalone app available to do the similar. I think all the above addressed less than 1/3 of the requirements here.

[Q] I don't want my Win Live Messenger Contacts

Title pretty much explains!
With facebook and secondary email accounts, under settings you can disable them from importing contacts into WP7's contact area... but with the main Windows Live ID you use to activate the phone, there's no tick box to disable the importing of messenger contacts.
Now my phonebook has like 300 entries of people who don't even have phone numbers... help?! Please!
Yeah! I've got the solution for you, i run into this problem as soon as i got my activation code and got my hotmail account up and running, all you got to do is go to your mail account and delete all the contacts in the contacts page then re-sync your live account from your phone and *bam* unwanted contacts are gone!

Sync Contacts Google

My google contact is having sync issue , The cal, Gmail sync is working but the contact is not sync. I'm getting this error message Sync is currently experiencing problem. It will be back.
It was working fine when I first bought the phone. I did removed some apk but I don't think I remove the sync.apk since it working with other synchronize program. Are there any apk that is tie to the contact sync process or is there something else that I should try.
Running stock ROM
Rooted
In Settings, look for Sync & Accounts (the name varies from ROM to ROM). Press on your Google account, and then you will see the various sub-accounts that you can sync (or stop from syncing). Enable contacts.
