Difficulty syncing diary from pc to touch hd

I'm using windows xp on my pc with microsoft activsync 4.5; I've set up the partnership between the pc and Touch HD and it has synced the contacts OK, but it seems to get stuck trying to sync the calendar - using outlook 2003. I've tried both soft and hard resetting the Touch HD; I've uninstalled m'soft activesync, downloaded and installed a new copy, and still get the problem. The programme appears to be syncing but it's been stuck on calendar for ages without appearing to make progress. Any ideas please?

OK if TF3D not running.

The very first time I sync'd, it did seem to take forever - I eventually just left it doing it's thing and went for a coffee.
When I got back, it had finished (so don't know how long it took in total), and subsequent syncs have been very quick
One thing I have noticed that seems to be missing (now that you mention) which was on my very old iPaq running PocketPC 2002!
I recall a setting in ActiveSync about ignoring calendar entries which have passed.
Don't recall seeing it this time round, so possibly you get to sync umpty ump thousand 'old' entries first time or something?

Thank you. I subsequently tried disabling TF3d and like you left it running. Came back several hours later and it had sync'ed. To be fair, I was asking it to sync a large number of entries.

Please help me with Calendar

I had the Calendar issue where holidays were shown one day too early - for example New Year Day was on 31st December. Somehow I managed to fix this by downloading a DST fix for Outlook and the PPC.
Yesterday I did a hard reset and I am in the process of loading everything back. I can't manage to fix the Calendar. Whatever I do it shows the holidays one day too early. The same fix is not working this time.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

What about other appointments, does it show one day too early too ?

Have a read on this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx
Maybe you just missed a few steps or have to redo the whole thing.
HTH.

to azahidi - yes it affects all "all-day" appointments and holidays in the daylight saving period.
to izzyzc - yes that is what I did: removed the DST update from PC and the phone, removed and ended Active Synch relationship, connected the phone to the PC, installed the update on PC and the phone, set up a new relationship and synchronized the Calendar. Everything is OK now.

push gmail problems?

Hi!
I was trying to use push gmail but I only got an error
0x8600050c
I can sync contacts and calendar, but no emails, if I check the email, then i got that error.
Someone else is in the same situation?

Same error here... Anyone got solutions?
I've reset the phone, input the settings multiple times (I'm sure they're correct), checked that my carriers default internet access isn't set via proxy, turned off/on POP on my Gmail settings....

A couple of pointers to look out for:
-You want to make sure you're only trying to sync Calendar, Contacts & Email. DON'T try and sync Tasks or Texts cos they don't work (yet hopefully).
-Make sure the username you're using is <myname>@gmail.com not @googlemail.com like the tutorial used to say.
-If it stops syncing after a few weeks of use. Sometimes you just have to do a manual sync by going into connection manager and hitting the Sync button and sometimes the only way to solve it seems to be just delete the whole Exchange profile for googlesync and set it up again from scratch.
Hope one of these is going to solve your problem cos I'm all out of ideas. Works fine on my WinMo6.5 device.

Yup, I was aware of both the @gmail and restriction to Cal/Contacts/Email, neither of those are my problem.

Mine is syncing using @googlemail.com but it does not work when doing send/receive for my folders which is annoying as I don't want to keep on syncing hundred's of folders each time I get a new mail.

also youc ant have a "/" in any of your gmail labels (which are often autmoatically created when you imap your gmail on your desktop i.e. Inbox/ebay Inbox/work etc

Same problem here...
I have the same problem and the same error code.
Tried to sync my phone for the first time yesterday and spent the better part of the night troubleshooting why I was getting the 0x8600050c error code... Tried all the possible fixes including making sure Tasks are deselected, Syncing only Contacts & Calendar, no '/'s in labels etc....
However, now I realise that after browsing the google help forums that a lot of people seem to be having this problem in the last 24-32 hours. Quite a few recent messages have been posted on this.
It seems like Google Sync push has been erratic ever since it was released. They fixed the problems in the middle, but it seems that they are back now. You would hope that a firm with the resources like Google would atleast put a status page updating users of outages...
If someone figures out a solution to this problem please post...!

Same problem for me here!

I'm sorry (I'm not rubbing it in honest ) but my GMail has been working perfectly for the last couple of weeks. So maybe it's just newly set up accounts?

For those that have gmail working via activesync, how quick is it? when a message arrives on your desktop how much later does it take to arrive on your phone. I am seeing some delayed responses and having moved from Blackberry back to WM its not good.

I have it running over HSDPA (3G) with exchange server and it arrives on my phone before it gets to my desktop pc.

I know its been done and said, but would you mind doing a checklist on what settings you have got working for you?
On Gmail do you have POP3 enabled and IMAP enable or one on and the other off.

i've been having the same issue - calendar and contacts fine, but i can't sync mail.
i know it isn't the settings / labels issues mentioned here as I have it syncing fine on my kaiser...

Hmm. OK think we got crossed wires there. I thougth we were talking about GMail syncing in general. I was talking about my Tinity. Now I have the HD2 setup, it's not working for mail ether.
Same as everyone else, I have contacts and calendar working but no mail. It will get the mail if I set it up as a normal mail account but not with the syncing push type exchange account I can't see any errors, it's just not getting the mail

The thing is I get my mail, but just slow. I am not syncing contacts or anything else.

Sympathize with you Chimpsinties

hmmm. no hashes in any labels (i never imported / synced) from outlook. but still no joy...

same problem on my td2.
syncing of calendar and contacts works fine. but no mail.
funny thing is when i set it up the last weekend it all worked perfectly for about two days and suddenly error 0x8600050c.
i played arond a lot with googleapps after the setup and i thought this might be the reason it s not working any more.
so here is a list of things i tried to get it working again, well, still without success:
- looked for hashes in my labels (never had any though)
- deleted all labels
- change language from german to english and back
- deleted the tasks from my tasklist in gmail/calendar
- changed my password to alphabetical characters only
- registered a new gmail account without any changes
- changed the mail folder of gmail in wdmc that should be synced
some things that surely wouldnt help since it seems to be a google issue but i was desperate
- reinstalled wmdc
- flashed different roms
but damn it s still not working again. *sigh* gotta switch to windows-live if they dont get this fixed.

Hmm I think the problem with the gmail sync makes the rom of the hd2 itself because I also have a Touch Pro 2 and a Toshiba TG01 and on both of them its working fine so I try to import the active sync files and if it will work after that I´ll tell you!

Activesync/Outlook 2007 connect/sync failure

I have been struggling with hd2 stability using activesync to sync my Outlook 2007 data. I have about 2500 contacts and about 2 yrs of calendar events. My old palm pre did not have a problem with this w/o active sync. I am about to rebuild the phone setup as it is corrupt again to the point that restarts no longer fix the problem. Sync works fine and fast for awhile and then the network connection takes longer to establish. You can browse the phone from the desktop activesync, but the data sync will not work. SPB backup seems to be able to sync properly and quickly.
The phone also goes unstable when you edit a contact shortcut or add a picture. I would love to find a way to solve this as this is the main, productive use of the phone for me and I love all the other capabilities of the phone and would like to move on to some of the other tweaks...but I need this basic functionality.
Please, any ideas?
The phone ROM is fully updated.

Dimes to Dollars you have a corrupt contact. Not surprising if you have 2500 of em. Experienced similar issues, fortunately the user noticed which contact wasnt syncing, deleted it from outlook/exchange, phone started syncing properly again.
If you decide to do a refresh, connect to WiFi of your work (or wherever the email is), and let it sync for a while before messing with it. It does contacts and calendar first, then inbox. Given you have so much data, let it go for quite a while.

Thanks Jimbonics,
Good clue. The pst file works properly on all my desktops and laptop. Any suggestions to validate the Outlook contacts?
I am using a usb connection to the phone (cradle) for sync. The initial syncing takes a long time, but works properly and does not stop at any contact or issue an error.

No error message? Hmm...that's a tough one. I was just going to ask you about that. I just resolved my activesync issue for "Exchange error 80072F0D".

I may have to move my data to an exchange server, but sure would like to have the desktop sync with Outlook work reliably.
The only error right now is after the connection has been established and activesync sez "connected", after about 5 minutes an activesync dialogue on the desktop comes up saying it cannot sync the data. SPB backup connects and syncs almost immediately.
The other nuisance is that when you connect the hd2 via usb, Outlook (and other parts of the desktop system) are frozen for awhile until the connection is finished. I guess there may be a problem with the desktop as well. I may just have to look into the process logs and find the log jams.

[Q] WP7 outlook sync Error code: 8500201F

anyone else using Outlook and getting the following error?
Outlook Error
Last updated 7 hours ago
We're having a problem syncing your information. Try again later.
Last tried about a minute ago.
Error code: 8500201F
i've tried restarting the phone, i have tried deleting and redoing the account - i have talked to my IT team at work - no idea what is going wrong. it was working fine then this.

I think this is related to the mailbox oversize.
Try to free some space by archiving or deleting some items.

Please follow this process:
1. Enter your Windowslive ID in the User name box
2. Enter your password
3. In the Server box, type (m.hotmail.com) and sign in, done!
Let me know if this work for you, bye.

Is the date and time on your phone correct?

I had this issue, but also realised it had screwed over my Outlook 2010 install on my laptop. I resolved it by deleting the email received immediately after the last successful sync by using OWA. What may be relevant is this email is auto-forwarded and permanently deleted by an Outlook 2010 inbox rule. Hope that helps someone.

Mailbox size
I had this problem, sorted emails by size and archived/deleted the massive ones. Problem solved.
