Calendar does not sync with Exchange server 2003

I do not understand this anymore. I have set up my exchange server (2003 small business server R2) and use my PDA's to sync. Pushmail works perfectly, contacts and tasks synchronize perfectly. Only calendar does not sync at all (even though I have ticked the right box to do so).
I have no idea why. Help would be hugely appreciated

I have just started having the same problem. Only syncing calendar items from my device to the exchange server is where I am having problems. I first noticed it when my fully charged battery would die within about an hour and a half when I normally get about two days use out of a charge. Come to find out, ActiveSync on my phone had been constantly attempting and re-attempting to synchronize the new events I had created on my device, with no success at uploading them to the server. All other items (mail, contacts, tasks) work seamlessly, and all items sync from desktop to device without any problems. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Not sure if anyone is still having this issue, but the fix for Calendar items created on device not syncing up to Exchange (but sync no problem from Exchange to device), do the following:
1. Go to Start/Settings/Clock & Alarm
2. Change your Time Zone to another zone, and OK.
3. Go into ActiveSync on device, and sync with exchange
4. Go back to Clock & Alarm and change your time zone back to appropriate time zone
5. sync with ActiveSync again.
Problem should be resolved. Has worked for me many of times.
Thanks!

Outlook sync times

Hi all,
I know that i can manage my sync times for hotmail by going
start>messaging>menu>options>hotmail>sync schedule
so i can basically only get my hotmail emails during the day, or when i want them, but there doesn't seem to be a similar option with outlooks direct push.
just wondering is it a possibility, or am i missing something simple?
many thanks

The reason why you can choose not to sync during the night with your hotmail is because you need to check periodically if there is new mail on hotmail, thus using the internet connection regularly.
Push mail works the other way around: whenever the server gets a message, it will contact your device and tell it that there's new mail.
I think that for stopping Pushmail from sending you mails at night you need to change a serverside setting, because it is the server that does the work.

thank you very much for your help mate
i'm with you now!

You can set the schedule of your Exchange email by going to Programs > ActiveSync> Menu > Schedule
In Schedule you can set how often to sync for peak and off-peak times, so what you would probably want to do is set your off-peak times to "Manually" or "Every 4 hours" etc.
At the bottom of the page there is a link that directs you to the page of adjusting the Peak Times.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorry but that's wrong.
Hotmail is now pushed to WM6.1 phones when you use the Live Wizard to set it up. (Other webmail emails will need a 3rd party app).
If your Outlook is Exchange Push, then you should have the same settings for both.

[Q] MS exchange: don't sync email, only contacts/calendar?

hi,
i'm new to the i9000 and android, just received my phone a week ago. i have an unlocked european version (amazon.de) and it came with firmware JM1. i didn't upgrade to anything else yet, i'm waiting for stable froyo.
i want to automatically sync my corporate exchange calendar but i need to disable the email sync (not allowed to store corp email on the phone). i've searched the forum but didn't find anything related.
some colleagues use a htc desire where they have a setting/checkbox "sync email" (or similar naming) in the account settings whereas i can only find "sync contacts" and "sync calendar".
is this feature missing in the SGS? does some beta froyo user have an exchange account and is this option available in newer firmwares?
thanks,

go into Settings, Accounts & Sync
make sure all the green boxes are checked
sync calendar
sync email
sync contacts

thanks for your anwser!
i posted my message because i don't have this "sync email" option on my phone which i want to disable:
"accounts and sync:"
=> background data & auto-sync are checked
"manage accounts": clicking on my exchange account:
"data & synchronisation"
=> only "sync contacts" and "sync calendar" are here, both are checked. i guess here should be a "sync email" menu where i could disable it?
i did set "email check frequency" (account settings, general settings) to "never", but this does not do what i want (still checks my email if i click on the email app)
best regards,

I would also like to sync only contacts via Exchange.

Exchange Sync features in Android 2.1 OS is quite limited. Hence each phone manufacturers have to make their own email exchange support client. HTC's client is certainly better than what Samsung offered. Motorola also has its own client as well.
The email app in SGS only supports up to 2 exchange accounts max and is very slow syncing emails as well as missing a lot of features.
Ironically, one of the *new* features highlighted by Google in Froyo OS is Exchange Calendar sync support. So it seems even the Exchange calendar sync is not directly supported by 2.1 OS.

@AllGamer
you mentioned your "sync email" setting. may i ask which firmware you are using? maybe we are lucky and this feature is in more recent versions than my stable JM1.
i'm still hoping that the froyo firmware contains a good exchange client
anyone with JPC + exchange here?

[Q] How to disable automatic email check on sync

Hi. I have HTC TD2 with wm65 custom rom TESS Prime IV. I have 2 email accounts set up in phone, both of them are set to send/receive manually. But when I connect cable to PC, and Active sync starts, the phone still checks for new email, for both accounts. Email is unchecked in synchronization options.
How can I disable it?

[Q] Losing Exchange sync after 5.0.2 upgrade

Hello All,
So I recently upgraded the OS from KK(4.4) to 5.0.2 through FOTA update method.
Since then, every few hours, the Email default application loses sync. The main sync button appears to be on but when I enter the Exchange account account settings, I see that sync isn't marked.
Once I mark the sync option, it works well. but then again, after a few hours, getting off again.
please help!
Thank you!
Nir.

Hello...?

you got a 5.0.2 update ?

I have the exact same issue. This has been nagging me for a while now since I upgraded to Lollipop.
Regularly, as I notice absence of traffic on my Corporate email (exchange server account), I go to the accounts settings only to find out all sync options unchecked. And as soon as I check them, email starts coming in again, until the next time.
This occurs after anything from an hour to a few days. Very annoying as it renders my corp email very unreliable...
