Wondering if anyone had kicked the tires yet on Syncmate
http://www.eltima.com/products/syncmate/
Just noticed it on versiontracker this am... says its WM6 compatible.
Mike
I've just installed it. Whenever I connect, it gives me a prompt on the device that I must have ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your computer, then SyncMate asks me for a password. I have no idea what to put in since I don't use a password on my PPC. Tried my Mac password - no luck. Seems like an equal program to MissingSync if I can get it working
Same problem here!!!

Got the same problem.
It looks good if it works.
Exactly the same issues here too - I hope they get this working properly as it looks extremely promising.
On one of my machines it seems to be working, but uses the old Mark/Space network connection, and then I get the password error that everyone else is getting. On my other "cleaner" machine, it doesn't even create the new network connection.
Looking forward to not having to give any more money to Mark/Space for WM6 support. Anyone filed a bug report with Eltima on this?
I haven't filled in a bug report as such - but I have made a comment on this site http://blog.eltima.com/ (their official blog).
The comment doesn't seem to have been approved yet, but it may pay for others experiencing the same issues to comment too.
Good looking UI, but poor QA effort by Eltima
Just like everyone here, same problems. Looks much better than my PocketMac (which I removed from my Mac 2 weeks later for the crashes).
Please resolve the password and handshake problems everyone is experiencing..
If anyone gets this working could they please announce, ROM flashing/activesync and gaming are the only times I use the PC. The iMac is so cool.
I just posted a reply on the blog as well. Seems they are aware of it, don't know how it wouldn't have come up in programming - but hopefully they can get it fixed soon.
I have the same problem with my HTC S710.
Looks like a new version came out yesterday (the 27th)

Did you tried it ?
I don't know if Mike has tried it - but I have and all I can say is that I have finally be able to delete the worthless pile of rubbish that is Missing Sync from my Mac.
Syncmate still has some bugs, but this new version manages to sync my contacts and messages without a hitch - something missing sync would do only on the rarest of occasions.
Given that this is only the seconds beta release of Syncmate, I'm really looking forward to watching this develop. It's beginning to feel like we (Mac users who own WM devices) have a valid syncing method - finally.

I haven't had a chance to try the new version yet.
Is there any interaction btw MS and SM? ie. need to do a full de-install of MS first?
Thanks,

My Take
So, here's my take on SyncMate.
The interface is good, but the documentation is crap, and it's clearly an early beta. There's a LOT of stuff they don't tell you. I'll try to summarize what I've learned:
The installer requires a reboot (you could guess this, but they ought to notify you)
You must enable "Advanced Network Functionality" on your device (Smartphones get it in Settings -> 6, 7, 4, or Connections, More, USB to PC)
Every time you disconnect your device (physically, or chagne connection mode), you'll have to restart SyncMate if you want to reconnect. Likely just a beta glitch
It is MissingSync Aware (in that it will warn you MissingSync is around, and will try to deactivate it, may fail, also probably just a beta glitch)
SyncMate does install a small application on your PDA, very similar to how MissingSync does
If things don't go exactly as in documentation, you have to go to tech support
The Auto-Configure thing for the network connection does NOT function under Leopard, you must manually add it
In this case, the USB connection is treated as a network connection, and currently things are kind of flaky getting the system to recognize the RNDIS as a network hook-up (happens sometimes, doesn't other times), at least under Leopard. Don't know if this is Mac OS or SM.
Sometimes you may have to induce SyncMate to connect to the PDA by telling it to Sync (Cmd+S or in the Sync menu, the button is grayed out)
I've been tinkering with it all day, I'm going to shoot off an e-mail to them right now, because since I've upgraded to Leopard, and MissingSync broke, this is my only choice (for now).
Does SyncMate have problems with the calendars? I noticed MissingSync tends to create several duplicates of my events (and To-Dos recently, even during failed syncs).
Still ask me for a password...
I just uninstalled TMS and installed the Nov 28 version of SM.
I was able to sync contacts and calendar with no issue (which are the only things I typically sync) (I might expand that to some iTunes later)
Looks like this is a "demo" version.. not sure if that suggest the final won't be freeware (as it was listed on Versiontracker) or not.
Any idea if this allows me to use my Macs internet connection (the was ActiveSync does) ?
Mike
New version out again. Last one worked for me, so I may not rush to try.
Getting a weird behavior on the EVO with Active Sync.
I remember using it on my Hero with my company's Exchange server a while back, and everything worked.
With the EVO I can get e-mails, push works great, but when sending an e-mail I'm running into a weird issue.
Immediately after hitting send, the phone will complain that the message could not be sent. "Unable to send e-mail" or something like that.
If I go into the Outbox I can see that the e-mail is there. The phone will flash the message every few seconds, meaning it's trying and failing.
The strange part is, the e-mails are actually going through. The first time this happened my e-mail was sent to a work distribution list 15 times before I realized what was going on and deleted the e-mail from the Outbox.
That was with stock ROM and no mods. Today I tried sending an e-mail after rooting the EVO and using Damagecontrol ROM. The issue is still there. I can reproduce the problem just by sending an e-mail, it will be in the Outbox, will go through over and over until I delete it from the Outbox.
It seems like the phone is not getting confirmation from the Exchange server (or ActiveSync rather) that the message is getting sent properly.
I'm not sure exactly how ActiveSync pushes the sent e-mails back to Exchange. It uses the same SSL connection used for push and sync, but does it put it in the Outbox and then try to sync that folder with the server and the server is supposed to delete it from the Outbox once it is sent?
The sent e-mails are showing up in my Sent Items folder, every single one, so if I got 5 copies in my test, I will find 5 sent e-mails in the Sent Items folder.
Weird
I would talk with your IT dept and find out if there are any other smartphone users having the same issue (and if so, which platform), or if yours is an isolated case. I would also try synching your Exchange mailbox with a different android device (and then a different platform) to see if you can replicate the problem; you can also try synching someone else's mailbox on your device.
I don't have a solution for you, as I've never heard of this happening on any smartphone platform.
However, start with basic troubleshooting and you should be able to narrow down the source of the problem.
I am having the same exact issue!!!! Finally someone I can relate with. I have tried everything and no other users on my Exchange server are having this problem.
I have downloaded Moxier Mail from the market and I am using that just for the email and it works fine but I would really love to get this resolved.
Someone help!!!!

Thanks khov07. I have talked to my IT guy. I did try to configure the account on my Hero last night and got the exact same issue. Most of the users here use their iPhone's without a problem.
Now that I have found that the Hero has the same issue, I will go back to my IT guy and we'll try and see if we can find anything useful in our Exchange logs.
Since there are barely any configuration options in the e-mail client, it all probably boils down to a communication issue between the server and the client. Hopefully we'll be able to find the problem and correct it.
Edit: There's another user that has a Moment, I'm not sure if he uses ActiveSync on it, but I'll check with him to see if he has any issues.
Co-worker with the Moment can send e-mails without a problem, but he uses Moxier. So there's something going on between the HTC Mail App and the Exchange server.
OP, I would ask a co-worker if you could borrow their phone (or perhaps your IT dept has a spare for testing) that is non-Android and try synching your mailbox to that device, see if the problem resurfaces.
Finally, take a look at those Exchange logs. You may be limited, however, based on the version of Exchange your enterprise is running, i.e., 2007 vs 2003. Exchange 2007 has significant improvements in mobile device management over 2003.

That's a good idea. Would rule out a problem with my account.
We do use 2007, we could never get this running on 2003.
Thanks
OP: Let us know your progress, as someone has reported the same issue on this thread. I myself am interested in knowing the root cause.
I am still having the issue and would love a resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Well something is definitely f'd up with the ActiveSync client that HTC includes.
I have just put Froyo (EvolutionV8) on my Evo and configured my exchange account on it. I can send e-mail without any problems.
Some Exchange servers have the issue, as most users are not having any problems, but the few of us that are will probably keep having the problem. I haven't had much time to do any troubleshooting on this.
It's good to hear the the issue isn't on Froyo, but I think the HTC Mail client has some extra security features that I would like to take advantage of. I was hoping the recent update would solve the problem, but no such luck. Maybe when the 2.2 official HTC update is released it will fix the problem.
same problem here
I have the same issue on send and rcv, send usually works ok, but checking mail just goes over and over till exch server stops trying. Bugs the hell out of me, im running exch 2007 from 1and1. Would be nice to find a fix to this.
B
same issue here people, on a HTC Wildfire with 2.1 original FW.
sucks...
I have the same issue with exchange and the old touchdown. 6.2 touchdown fixed it for me. must be an exchange update that messed everything up for htc
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
2.2 includes some additional security features not present in 2.1, such as PIN security enforcement.
I have noticed many ActiveSync issues can be cleared up by wiping out the synch on the device, AND wiping out the local cache on your device. I usually see issues with Droids (all three) synching to Exchange - contacts don't show up, or calendars don't populate, etc.
Also, check to see if your exchange account is synched with any other devices. I have also seen odd issues with synching when your mailbox already has a device partnership with a WinMo device. If it does, delete all of them (server-side), wipe out the account on your phone, wipe out the local cache, reboot, wait 15 minutes, and try again.
Evo's should synch just fine with Exchange.
When I first recieved the Evo, everything synchronized just fine. Contacts both ways, emails, and calendar, but after about 5 hours, I started getting a notification that there were Exchange sync issues.
Whenever I would open up the accounts page under settings, I would see the sync symbol next to Contacts, repeatedly trying, over and over again. Finally, after a while, it stops, and a sync symbol with an exclamation point appears in the notification bar, as well as next to Contacts, and at the bottom of the accounts page, the same symbol with "An I/O error has occurred," explanation.
I don't understand what is going on here... as the original sync worked great. I can remove my Exchange account and re-add, and it works great for a few hours. Same thing if I wipe the phone completely, (factory reset.) The only solution I have had so far is to un-tick the Contact sync, and it seems to work okay, but obviously I need this service to work properly.
I have tried searching for a few days now and couldn't find anything really related to this. Some have had issues with reboots, and I had it BAD two days ago, and I finally wiped my phone. I do believe that there are some serious core Exchange integration problems on the Evo..
Does anyone have any insight on the matter, or should I just email HTC? Would a cooked ROM perhaps be any better?
Thanks guys
Same issue here. Very frustrating.

Also, this DESTROYS my battery. If I actually let it attempt to keep syncing, it's completely dead within an hour.
Also have the same issues and was searching for answers to no avail. Another problem I have is that sometimes random emails just stop showing up on the phone. I can open once and view but later they are gone even though they haven't been deleted. I obviously see them on my outlook on my computer but never see them again on the phone. I hoping an update in the future will fix these issues as I never had a problem with my Touch Pro so I'm thinking it's not the server at work.

No problem on my Pre either, and I really don't want to have to buy 3rd-party software to fix something that is supposedly integrated into the phone...
Fellas, talk to your IT dept and have them check the Exchange logs. Different versions of Exchange have different levels of administration over mobile synchronization.
I have an EAS on my EVO with no issue whatsoever.
Bear in mind, Exchange 2003 doesn't seem to like Android synching with a mailbox that was previously synched with another device. I have seen synchs crash consistently until the synch relationship is deleted on the server side.
i have zero issues with exchange on the android.
you guy can try touchdown form the market. its the best exchange app out. dataviz has road sync which is another idea. i have not used road sync but have used touchdown on the hero. it works well.. bullet proof.
i would check with your respective IT Admins and make sure they allow Android handsets to access the server. some companies do not OR recommend you use a 3rd party app (such as touchdown)
Strange, I had my phone replaced yesterday, and it worked from about 5pm to 9:45am today, perfectly... then out of nowhere, it failed, and is now in an infinite loop to sync contacts.
Something to do with Facebook
I think it has something to do with contacts that are linked to Facebook. Very Very frustrating.

I just created a ticket with my IT department to investigate the logs to see what is going on. Something tells me it's related to Sense, and not my Exchange server at all... considering that multiple Windows Mobile phones, and my Palm Pre have all worked fine... even some of my old Sprint dumbphones worked okay, when I used Sprint Email.
I would root my phone and try a standard version of Android, but isn't it Sense that does the Exchange sync? or is that built into Android at this point?

I've tried touchdown and can't even get it to create an account. I think it maybe something with my work server that these programs don't like. I know that my employer was too cheap to get an exchange server so they use some sort of activesync client that runs on the standard server. Not an IT guy so I don't know how this affects things but I do know that I had no issues like this with the windows mobile email. On top of my contacts not syncing, I still have emails that randomly disappear or no longer have a body to the email after viewing once. Very strange and very frustrating that I have no work around.
Well we are definitely using Exchange 2007, and I had to bypass our whole "ticketing system," and contact our Exchange/Outlook department secretly. I am hoping for a response in the next day or so. I bet you anything it has to do with the policy-push that happens once or twice a day... basically re-affirms your device is compliant. IE, if you went through and manually disabled your password protection, this is SUPPOSED to push out the requirement again.
One thing I should probably try, is re-wiping my phone and NEVER installing lockpicker... even though the phone is nearly non-functional without that handy utility, perhaps that can be causing issues?
Been running HTC Sense, and Exchange on my EVO without any issues for three weeks.
I have not made any changes to the original setup, other than adding about ten apps from Market Place.
Holy crap, I just got a call from two highest-level managers (with attitude, I might add,) that no one from the company is _ALLOWED_ to help me get this to work. It's an unsupported device. So are iPhones and all WM phones... so this is bizarre.
Basically, this ActiveSync service is a back-door offering, with zero support, and everyone is real hush-hush about it. My asking to investigate the logs seems to have REALLY irritated people in my company, and this is a big place. I hope I didn't create waves... damnit Android, you are ruining my life!!
What assholes. I hate these arrogant ass IT guys. They need to recognize that they are a cost center which only exist to make you a more effecient employee. If your effeciency is enhanced by using android vs a crappy blackberry, they need to make reasonable efforts to accomodate you.
I would send an email to THEIR boss, and ask him what the mission of an IT organization should be. And if he gives you crap, ask the CIO.
You don't understand... the top-dogs just made their call... the next higher up is the VP of our IT group... basically, if I bring it up again, I can consider myself terminated. I didn't realize this was such a sore subject, but apparently it is.
Apparently it has a lot to do with export control, policies, all sorts of random BS that I don't really know about. The ActiveSync service is mainly provided as a back-door 'friendly' service to help those who don't get corporate blackberries.
So it's totally unsupported, and I don't know anyone I can buy a few drinks for in order to get this fixed. I guess I'll have to work the other angle with HTC, but damnit, I already know nothing will help there. Even if they were to offer to help, my IT department would be less than willing to lend a helping hand.
Also, most of our stuff is out-sourced... but I know there are DEFINITELY people in my own building that can help me---I just don't know who, and I also don't want them getting in trouble.
It just bothers me that when the iPhone came out, there were enough 'important' people around, so that even though it's "not supported," our environment was definitely modified to work with the phone...
Le Sigh.
Man, this problem is killing me... I have delete my exchange account twice a day.
man, I wish there was a solution to this... no one else is having this issue?
You could root and get Cyans new Froyo build, it has native exchange support. There is definitely differences between HTC sense exchange and Android exchange.

Does this build support Camera and 4G? I keep hearing about these new ROMs and all their problems.
I just installed TouchDown and figured I'd give it a whirl. If the new Froyo build works on all aspects, I'd obviously rather have that. I like the integration of the stock solution. I don't like that I will have to use TouchDown for everything... calendar alerts, and everything, but we'll see. I also hate that I might have to pay $20 for something that should work out of the box...
I just updated my Bell Galaxy S to the Froyo update Bell has waiting in KIES but has hidden from the public.
I quickly found out that anyone who is using exchange 2010 (and possible 2007) as an email server is going to be VERY unhappy. The security model needed for activesync to work properly with exchange 2010 is broken in JK3 and JK4 (the Bell Froyo builds). It seems that the model is there for full exchange security, but is broken and the phone will not let the server have access to things like password changing and remote wipe etc and thus the connection attempt during setup fails. There is a way around this, but if involves getting your exchange administrator to globally remove the default security policies in exchange (some say for a short time, some say permanently until the Android bug is fixed). Once the default security model is removed from the users Activesync profile then Android can connect and email can be set up.
Hopefully Bell realizes this as a major issue and this is why or at least one of the reasons why they have yet to release it to the public. Supposedly the issue has been fixed by the Android devs in current builds of 2.2.1 but whether or not this will trickle down to Bell's official release of Froyo for the Galaxy S is yet to be determined.
Needless to say, BEFORE YOU UPGRADE VERIFY THAT IT IS GOING TO WORK!
Another alternative is to pull /system/apps/Email.apk from the SDK (or various other locations on the web) and replace the one on your phone.
I've had to do this on mine and it's been working fine.
Originally, I used the "Improved Email" app from http://www.mwebster.us, but it's been having similar issues and the dev doesn't have time to fix it.. Too bad since it was THE best thing out there..

i'll say there's no need to panic yet, as it's not the final version for public use
that's why it's not accessible via KIES without the Registry Hack

I agree, there is no need to panic, I just wanted to give a warning to those eagerly waiting for the update. Don't be quick to jump on the update or you may find yourself in a whole world of hurt.

Hello,
Has anyone unlocked their Vibrant to Rogers then updated FROYO through KIES? I'm wondering if it is ok to do so before I proceed.

As a software developer, I would say you should be worried. Unless they have completely different version they're waiting to upload, there's no way they're going to make any viable changes now to the firmware when they publicly announced Froyo will be available in mid December. If they want to change that, they will have to delay the release again. Probably to some time in January.

As far as I know, updating OS shouldn't take it into account whether the phone is locked or not, so I don't think you should have any problem.

Time wise that you are correct, if they do approve the current ROM as is, then it'll need to be manually patched later, or wait for the next ROM release.
the SDK work around is very sound and feasible for NON Standard users, people that don't even want to root their phone will be out of luck unfortunately
usually those kind of file swapping requires rooting.
I'm experiencing exact same issue now. There is no way I can benefit from my Exchange account with this Froyo release.
As soon as you have Exchange account with Synck ON + Auti-sync ON it kills th battery in 3-4 hours. Constantly high CPU + network traffic.
Having only Emails with pull interval option is not a good workaround as Exchange users mostly benefit from Calendar sync, and not only emails.
When Auto-sync is OFF calendar is not updated automatically.
Can someone put any instructions on how to replace email.apk? What version can we use on Froyo? is it from 2.1 ?

What Exchange version are you running? Do you have admin access? If you have 2010 I can help you get your phone syncing without needing to root it but it involves removing the default security policy for exchange so the server does not check if it has admin access to the phone during setup. If you have a large exchange organization then this probably isnt the best route for you. For me it was fine as it is my own personal server with minimal users/phones.
Does anyone know if the same flaw applies to hosted Exchange - microsoftonline exchange mail service?

It is large organization. And it is Exchange 2003.
I tried Touchdown today. It also has issues connecting and reports Too Many timeouts during one minute. But it has option to wait in case of such timeouts so it does not drain the battery. On other hand with such a wait Exchange is useless as I do not ger Push at all.
Is there any update on Exchange issue?
My phone behaves weird all those days.
I'm on JK4 and our Exchange 2003 just log error every second (it is Err 3005 Http code 400 in event log). The only way to keep my phone alive is to either disconnect from Exchange or turn off Background Data. Both leads to the same result - no sync.
I tried all email.apk available with exchange fix - no luck.
Hello my friends. Thank you in advanced for any help/input you give.
Here's my thing.. I am an avid M$er (yes I know, but I get as much good from it as the bad). I'm a professional IT guy, and I run my home network on Enterprise lvl MS Server software and Windows on all PCs.
I have been using WinMo since the days of PPC, so I know the software. I decided to give WP7 a test run (even knowing the limitations) a couple months ago, and still am disappointed. Unfortunately I got stuck with it till now, because just after I installed it my personal Exchange server crashed. It's significant because it holds all of my contact info and schedule (for backup and retrieval when I change roms), so I had to wait till I had time and patience to recover the server and my database, which left me with my only current copy of info on the phone as it couldn't get pushed back to the server to store (I never put my info online so no uploading it wasn't an option for me).
Finally exchanger recovered, its time for me to be rid of this headache of a mobile OS and initially I was going to go back to my favorite HD2 WM6.5.3 rom, but when I finally visited the thread, I came back to realize my fav rom cooker is no longer developing for my device..
So I'm faced with the choices of still using the most current from my fav cooker, finding another WM cooker and get acquainted, or try out Android seriously for a little while at least (I've had it on SD from the beginning, but not definitively explored it).
My main thing is it has to connect to my servers. That's my bread and butter so to speak. I need it to connect to my Exchange and sync seamlessly contact and schedule (main things, but would definitely like as much sync as possible), but never upload my info to Google or anywhere else. So my first proviso is can it do that? (please remember I've never seriously explored Android for this intent), and can you provide info on it?
On remote desktopping and file sharing, like I said I have enterprise lvl servers so my network is high lvl security, can it connect to this kind of network (with certs from my CA)?
Third important thing to me, and one of the big reasons I dislike WP7, the interface. I'm in lust with HTC's sense from WM6.5 roms. Absolutely like it. Is there a way to at least mimic this sense? I've been missing the at-a-glance full screen weather updates soo much too.
Aside from those things, Android on HD2 already has a plus from me for having flash, my favorite IM program (Trillian), and the wifi calling (I live in an area where I don't get service till I'm miles from home).
So with those things in mind, can someone recommend Android to me, and possibly give me as much info as they can on the features that are most important to me? Again, I've played with Android, only a little (American Android currently), and mostly to help clients and friends out.
Thanks again for your help

Thank you PresidentMcCain that is very favorable info. So my question is now, if I set Exchange up as primary email, then add my google account, will it try to sync my exchange contacts with google?
Have you looked at Appbrain website - you can explore all the apps on the market with a good description.
Im new to android (from long standing 6.5 use) and im extremly impressed, using sd method so i can fall back on 6.5 if i need it (), but it wont be long before its ditched.
You can choose specifically what or what not to sync with Google the first time when you boot up the ROM or in the Settings.
Using the "Email" app will not sync with Google servers unless you choose to forward your mail to your Gmail account (duh).
Thanks again. So what about calendar and other info synced with exchange, one note, sharepoint ect?
You can sync your contacts, tasks, messages and calendar from exchange (all of it, or you can choose which sections to sync), and it will never share it with Google for no reason (in fact you would have to explicitly copy the info yourself using import/export methods). It's worth noting that Google accounts themselves actually use exchange so both work similarly.

Thanks kbm, I didn't know about the site. But that will be very helpful if I switch.
Thanks Atomix86, That puts to rest my questions about connecting and syncing with my exchanger. Very helpful info indeed.
Anyone have any thoughts about the rest?

No problem at all, let me know if you need any more help.
Looking at the link PresidentMcCain posted, I realized the info was for Exchange 2003 and 2007. Will this also help for connecting to Exchange 2010 as well? That is what my exchange server is, and remembering a friend who just got a Mytouch 4g recently was having a problem connecting to Exchange 2010 with the default app.

Maybe this might help. I read it this morning than came across this thread.
i dont know about exchange accounts. So if this is what you needed than its all good.
Thanks czarsuperstar, that app would help with note syncing, but looks like not for connecting to Exchange 2010 in general.
I was on winmo for a while and loved it to be honest but i went to sd android back in January an the google syncs convinced me and not long after i got nand and Ive not once looked back, i went back on winmo about a month ago just to see whats new etc and think i had it on for about 20 miutess before i flashed android straight back so its always worth a shot so id test the sd builds first to get your own opinion and then build on from there
Good luck and enjoy the future....
