Gmail calendar not updating - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I have just noticed that gmail is not updating from the phone to computer or server but it works the other way fine..... So if I enter a calendar event in the phone it will not show up on server or my computer but if I enter on server or computer it will show up on phone. I thought is was a HD2 issue but my mozart is doing the same thing and it is fully standard, no mods. Has anyone else got any issues?

I'm not having that issue. I just put a calendar entry in today. When I got home to my computer, 30 minutes later, and synced Outlook to gcal, the entry was there.
Has this always been an issue? It's odd that it's occurring on 2 devices. That leads me to believe it's a gcal issue over WP7/HD2 issue. :|

Exchange syncing but not syncing!

Apologies if this has been asked before - I couldn't find it.
I have a TMob MDA Pro which is configed to sync with the Exchange server at work. It goes through all the motions, including the item count, for Tasks, Contacts, Mail and Calendar - but nothing appears on the phone! Even though it completes successfully.
My Outlook mail on the phone shows the folders which I have in my mailbox but no messages. I have set Activesync to download ALL for everything, but still nowt.
Sync definately works the other direction as when i create new contacts they appear in outlook, without connecting USB cable or to wireless network.
I've even just now put on the new Dutch TMob ROM and reset settings as appropriate but still nothing.
Anyone else come across this - please help!

Fixed it!
Fixed my own problem!
It appears that Sophos PureMessage on the mail server breaks syncing with the Exchange server. Stopping the PureMessage anti-virus service makes everything work.
As a result of this, and that PureMessage is crap anyway, I've pulled it off the server and installed GFI MailSecurity for server anti-virus instead and it works fine.

Problem Syncing Contacts

Hello,
Recieved my HD yesterday and am still setting it up, sync center works fine so long as I dont have "Contacts, Calender, Email or Tasks" ticked.
If they are ticked the sync process never finishes but the progress bar will cycle endlessly.
I have Outlook 2007 installed but have never really used it before so I could be missing something, afaik my email accounts have been configured correctly and Outlook appears to be working correctly.
Anyone have any insight into this problem?
TIA
Dave

Can you sync with your Exchange server over the air (using data connection)? I know I have never been able to sync with our OWA (Outlook Web Access) address when plugged in to USB but I can over the air just fine. Same thing where it cycles endlessly. I can with other Exchange servers just not where I am currently syncing with. It has something to do with their network settings here where I work.
I'm trying to sync with my home PC, I have no exchange server.
To be honest I'm a bit lost with outlook, never really used it before - I have always used Outlook Express for email.
how long do you wait before giving up? first time synch usually takes a while, could go up to an hour or so.
I've waited up to 30 mins with no advance on the "windows mobile device center" progress bar "sync center" is cycling the progress bar as if it is initiallising.
Have tried wiping out my phones contact list and syncing one contact with same result - just uninstalled Office and reinstalled outlook from supplied HTC CD with same result.
had that problem also.
had to uninstall the wm device center (had it twice, so i uninstalled both) then reinstalled the latest version (drvupdate-amd64.exe in my case).
now everything works just fine.
Just tried that twice and unfortunatly is seems to have not worked - Thanks for the help here guys, anyone else got anu nuggets of info that could help me?
Seems to be sorted now - Pretty sure it is an AVG firewall issue, "allow all" lets me sync.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
Well I'm still completly lost - AVG firewall is definatly the problem here but I cant figure out how to fix it perminantly.
I'm used to setting rules in firewalls to allow certain programs but cant for the life of me find out what specific .exe or service is required to be enabled for outlook contacts, emails or notes to sync.
My temp fix involves setting AVG firewall to "allow All" - the phone will sync instantly but set to my default profile only files, favorites etc .... will sync
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
Managed to track it down
AVG 8.5 Tools>Firewall Settings>'Profile'>System Services>Windows RPC Service - Set to 'Allow For Safe' for those with the same problem.
Thanks once again for peoples input.

E-mail sync keeps displaying Inbox on screen

I've just re-flashed and totally rebuilt my HD2 because my e-mail (both Hotmail and regular POP/SMTP) totally stopped syncing. Now that I've rebuilt the phone, everything seems back to normal for now, but I've got an annoying issue when my e-mail syncs: Everytime it syncs in the background, it displays my Inbox on the screen! So, I'll often bring the phone out of standby and find my Inbox on there. Or, I'll be doing something else on the phone and, suddenly, my Inbox will appear out of nowhere. Very irritating.
In addition to the above, the HD2 regularly 'forgets' my sign-on credentials to Windows Live and prompts me to enter them again when it tries to sync. This is despite using 'Save password'.
Anyone else experience this? Any fix?
Thanks.
Check your date. I once had this issue with an incorrect date. If the date is set to the future and you have email set to sync "last x days", it won't get mail from the future.
Thanks, but date is correct and I have my mail set to sync items as they arrive.

[Q] E-mail sync w/ Hotmail stops

Apologies up front if this has been addressed, but I couldn't find a answer.
My wife has a Samsung Fascinate (stock). I've set up, using the stock e-mail client, her hotmail account. After setting this up, everything seems to sync ok (contacts, e-mail) initially, then continues to work for the next few days. For some reason that I have yet to figure out, the sync simply stops working. She usually complains after a day or two that she hasn't gotten any e-mail on her phone, although she can see it on her PC.
Anyone else run into this? It's not a Windows Live 'Pro' account, but the fact that I can initially sync makes me think such an account is not needed.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Exchange sync issues with the Epic 4G

When I try to add a corporate exchange email account, it stays stuck on a "loading" screen. I can get out of the email app and use the phone, but when I go back to email it's still on the loading screen - this will go on for hours (even if i soft reset the phone). Won't sync contacts or calendar either. It seems many have had this issue on other forums, but I haven't found a solution or a reason why it's happening. Anyone have any info on this?
I have not had any issues with 2.1 and now on 2.2. When you setup the account sync try not sycing mail maybe only contacts if that works then do calendar and so on. I have seen problem mail and calendar items that cause issues like this on other mobile phones at my work.
