Is it true that WP7 supports active sync ?
As per specs for Nokia Lumia, it does ...
http://www.nokia.com/in-en/products/phone/lumia800/specifications/
My point is that if it does support active sync, then is it possible to perform a backup of PIM - contacts, sms etc. thru a desktop software like jeyo mobile companion ?
sounds too good to be true i guess ...

i couldnt see any mention of active sync on there, but assuming i missed it, No, it doesnt support it, its Zune my friend, and thus the second part to your question is also no, it doesnt support old style backup programs

oh yeah, i see it now, indeed, it must be a typo if it supported active sync there would be a lot of very happy people, i mean, i still wouldnt trade my WP in but activesync did give us a lot more "options"

Active Sync 4.0 -> NO Access Database sync !?

Hi folks
now i have my new MDA Pro and tried to convert all functions from XDAIII to the new device. therefor i tried to sync a view access databases to my new device BUT:
THERE IS NO possibility for sync DATABASES in Active synv 4.0 !?!?!
has anybody the same problem?
That's sad but true...
One of my favorite programs for time tracking is Timettracker from Rfcons. But I can't use it on my Universal because they use ActiveSync Access. But they're working on a workaround...

Thanks for this information!
Do you mean T-Mobile with "they´re" ?
Do you know which workaround this will be?

"Microsoft My Phone" is open for everyone

To install Microsoft My Phone on your mobile phone, open your phone's web browser and go to http://myphone.microsoft.com/install.

Are they kidding?
I'd rather have no backup at all than backup my informations on internet...
Thanks for the heads up
Working nicely.

No, you are kidding, banks save their data on internet, you save your mails on internet, then why not your message and contacts save on internet!!! lolz..
lol are you a pessimist or are u just nutty!? this is a great thing!

I get double the contacts and tasks when I use myphone and outlook together
no synch for storage card = fail
It has the option just greyed out so hopefully this will be available at some point then I can use it. I can't fit all my pics and vids on my phone memory.
welcome to google sync than.

sweet..ill try that now thanks
size?
Can anybody confirm how much space this takes up, or whether it can be installed on the storage card?
Works well, nice to have somewhere to backup my txt over the air. Mind you most of it is useless if you have an exchange server to sync contacts and emails, calendar info.
I already useed the closed beta for a while and it's working well!
Not try my phone yet. but did on google sync. found a problem on google sync. google won't accept big size of photo in contacts. google will resize the photos. Anybody has the same issue on my phone as well?
I've been using this for some time now. Got in beta right from the start which was nice. And I can't imagine not having this piece of software anymore. Especially nice when you upgrade ROMs a lot (like I do ).
"unable to connect to sync server"
is there a way someone could upload the installation file for the touch screen one? the Microsoft official site seems to be upgrading and the official install URL is broken...
it's not really good..it doesn't find any duplicates even when they are present..and it doesn't know merge contacts..
been testing, nice indeed. but it is almost useless without the ability for pc sync too (as in concept of MobileMe for apple). if only microsoft going to release that then im all sold

thanks, I've found this as well but it is expecive for me i would like something free, perhaps HTC make the htc sync be able to sync over bluetooth and also when connected trough the sync software to get internet on the device, like active sync does to the wm phones
I agree $39.95 seems remarkably rich for something WM could do natively. Does anyone know of any cheaper (preferably free) alternatives?
To much
Yes that is way to much for sync software that (as is) does not even sync your calendar.
I Hope someone will make a cool app because I´m very dissapointed in the HTC Sync
my old wm phone could get internet acces from active sync, thus saving me money from the data plan, htc sync does only calendar and contact sync, this is the only thing I miss from wm, and the only "-" from android
up for this. I'm looking for this apps as well. Thanks...
I've finally found one. It's MyPhoneExplorer and it's free! It can also sync none Android phones. So great app.

[Q] HD2 Windows Phone 7 Sync With Mobile Device Center

I just installed Windows Phone 7 on my HD2
I rang microsoft for a activation code, and got one,
Everything works, ut i cant use xbox live to download apps - they have to be manually installed.
But my problem is i cant get my contacts on it.
they are backed up in mobile device center from the last sync with WM6.5 and it cant find a windows phone 7 Driver..
How can i sync and get my contacts???
If you have them backed up on Outlook or Google email then go to your email on the phone and sync... Restart the device and you will see them their!
Can you Sync WP7 with Outlook?

Yes, you can. Except for Tasks.

Not directly, only if you have an Exchange account. Otherwise it's through Google or Outlook and Hotmail connector.
I believe schapps is working on a 'WP7 Device Centre' which will mimic many of the old style Device Centre functionality. Not sure even then that it will allow direct sync with Outlook though.
Everything works fine except when I try to sync my phone with Zune it disconnects the internet. Anyone?
Are you running as admin on the machine?

Are you running on a restricted account or you are running as admin?
Also things worth rechecking....
Did you run XBMODD? and you copied the file into the Windows root ? Thereafter did you run connection setup ?
Make sure that this is being identified as a T9292 in the about section of your mobile...
Then go to Zune ... with your phone disconnected.. opt to "Forget the Phone " and reconnect your HD2 ... here you should be asked to name your phone ... click next ... finish ....
One last thing to recheck is to make sure that the regional settings of your machine and the regional settings on your HD2 (WP7) and your Windows Live account (for which you used to activate) are all the same. Also make sure that the time / date on the machine is synchronized. I ran into issues when I had some of the above wrong...
Hope this helps.

Missing Sync - did anybody try?

Ok, did anybody try:
Missing Sync?
I want to know if it really nicely syncs Contacts and Calendar with Outlook.
So none of you syncs the device with Outlook?
Or PC Companion does?
I would be very grateful for information.
Anyone?!......
I'm not a outlook user but maybe this can help: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync
you are syncing with google, so try to sync outlook with google
Someone once recommended using HTC Sync, and even though I didn't have an HTC phone it worked!
But I mainly use CompanionLink.
This is a great site to do some research:

Thanks but it works only for people with payed servers.
Doesn't work like Hotmail Connector which is great.

I will not use HTC soft on SE.
But that link reminded me of MyPhoneExplorer designed for SE!

No, it's only on your PC - no need to install anything on the Arc.

It's okay, when it works.
Found a good piece on it...
http://forum.syncdroid.net/smf/index.php?topic=13.msg234#new
OTOH, I would like to hear from people who've tried both MyPhoneExplorer and Missing Sync.
Gave it a quick tryout. Looks good. One thing bugs me through. It access sweetcandy.com (or sth like that...) on installation...? I also remember on the Market comments one reviewer said it installed unwnated ads... Umhum...
What about PCCompanion?

Missing Sync works with Outlook
Yes...I've used Missing Sync with Outlook 2007, but it also works with 2003 and 2010. It allows me to sync without putting my data in Google.

Superb so it works ok?
Just registered with a single post just to tell you the program works... Ummhum...
Heh thanks!
I'm an Android newbie and missed my WMDeviceCenter for sync with Outlook 2007 calender and contacts alot.
I've found MyPhoneExplorer and apart from some errors with repeating appointments it works as it should, and besides that...it's free .

Haven' tried MissingSync, but thought i'd share my experiences anywayz
