I can Synch but not Explore

I have an XDAIIs which I have performed a hard reset and switched it off before the O2 software was installed - the unit is now stable and free from resets - that was about four months ago.
I recently had a problem on my desktop and had to 'play about' with Outlook and Word 2003 to get things back to normal - it took me a couple of days!
Since then I have been unable to explore the XDA from my Desktop. Activesynch works perfectly.
I have completely un-installed and re-installed Activesynch 3.8 a couple of times without any change. I have disabled Zonelabs - no change.
Help!

Qtek 9100 - reminder doesn't notify anymore

Hi
A couple of days ago I realized that my Qtek 9100 no longer processed my reminders. My phone don't any longer play a sound and pop up a window at the time/date a reminder is due.
I checked the settings and everything is set correctly. Then I reset the Qtek and it still didn't go back to work normally. The last step was to switch it off, remove the battery and switch it on again. That did the trick, everything went back to normal, however only for a time. Next day same situation, reminders do not process. Again switch off, etc., and again it returned to working normally and again until some time....
I don't know if and what program I might have installed, and I surely don't know what causes this malfunction nor how to get rid of it.
Anyone out there who could give me a hand on solving this problem?
cheers...

May users have notification problems (in WM5 and WM6 devices). Search forum and you'll find FAQ about NQ and reminders problem.
My experiences: since I use pmClean (free) and SKTools (commercial) everyday my notifications and reminders work without any bugs for more then 2 months. Both applications have scheduling then you don't have to run them manually.
I don't synchronize my Artemis with Outlook on PC, maybe it's useful too.
Good luck.
PS. You could try Check Notifications, but for check only (suspicious notifications are in red color), don't use it's clean feature or you could have NQ cleaned too much

Hi
Thanks for you help. I installed the pmClean and the notifications came back after cleaning. However the next day again they were blocked again. May I ask you how you configured your pmClean? Do you run it automatically? If so, one or more days per week? Do you let it execute a soft reset after cleaning?

Actually I use 2 programs now - pmClean runs one a day (auto, with no reset) and SKTools - once a day too.

Hi.... I installed pmClean and even purchased SKTools.... but every day I realize that the reminders don't work. I have the pmClean programmed to run every day at 06:00... doesn't help. The reminders seem to works however always after I did a reset. However it looks that inbetween the next day something happens and the reminders again won't work. Any idea on what I could do? Is there anymore server reset like uninstalling all programs but mobile 5 itself and re-install everything?
cheers

Try not to synchronize with PC and see it it'll help. You may also use WakeUp Tweak to make every night cleanup longer.
I know WM5 and WM6 bugs in NQ are very annoying and MS ignores our prayers for years... I always think about new Android from Google when it happens to me

Hi
guess I finally figured out what caused the problem. It's not the Qtek 9100 but the ActiveSync application. I suspected this yesterday after reading some comments. So I decided to not connect my phone to my note which always triggered the ActiveSync to load. And since my last cleanup and soft reset yesterday all reminders worked. The WM5 sync at midnight didn't do any harm. Now the question is how can I fix ActiveSync? At least I'd like to be able to install programs on my Qtek which always comes with a sync. Any idea? Or do I simply have to always run pmClean followed by a soft reset after having my Qtek being connected?

You still can install programs without Activesync partnership (your device is seen as Guest).

Problem with alarms

Hello,
Please help me with my problem: I had the alarm set at 6 am in the morning and it worked well. A few days ago I set it at 7 am... just one alarm. Now, even if the alarm is set to 7 am, the alarm starts at 6 am and at 7 am. What can I do do delete the old alarm ? When the alarms starts I see 2 remainders. From where can I delete those reminders ?
Thank you for your time.

I had the same problem after the clocks went forward last weekend. i put it down to a custom rom i was using but i couldn't find a solution so ended up hard reseting my device.

I have the Original WWE ROM (English) and nothing like this came up...

Using the original ROM that came with the device. If I stay and think well this sitution is from the last hour change... Hmmm, could this be a bug in WM ? I don't want to make a hard reset...

I find that whenever I sync my WM device to my PC, I get duplicate reminders/alarms.
Use a tool like MemMaid or the freeware AlarmFixWM to clean up your notifications queue. That should do the trick; it always works for me (until I sync again).
This is a stupid, very old Windows Mobile bug that hasn't been fixed across several new versions of the OS.

thank you from the bottom of my heart. Installed AlarmFixWM and found 58 prblems. Soft reseted the PDA. I guess tommorrow morning I'll see the result. Is there some other software wich I could use for alarms ?

SPB time 2.2.2 is working great for me

I had the same stupid problem with the alarms. AlarmfixWM wouldn't install on my PC. SKTools Lite did the trick for me.

Contacts not showing

I searched the forum and saw this question being asked a couple of times, but no definate answers....
Running Dr Gonzo's WM6.1 and the contacts are not displaying. They are there, as they do display when pressing the green button to dial. How to rectify this?
Thanks

Are your contacts saved to SIM? As far as I recall, SIM contacts are hidden by default in the WM6.1 Gonzo ROM. You can enable it or better yet, save your contacts to memory so you can store more contact fields.

No it's contacts stored on the phone (restored with PIMBackup). I reflashed again and then they appear, but after a while (and setting up phone) they disappear again. Very strange indeed.

I had the same problem a couple of times - WM6.0 Neo rom - When the contacts dissappeared the phone was also running very slow - I did a hard reset and restored a backup from the day before and it was ok again.
It been ok now for a couple of weeks, so a mystery as to what happened.
As far as I can remember on both ocasions I was looking at a contact, when the phone rang. After I had taken the call I noticed I could not see the contacts - but they were still visible with the green button - maybe something got corrupted?

I've had the problem before, I just replaced the battery with a spare that I had and charged the battery and all was fine. I was running WM 6 at the time can not remember if it was the official HTC WM 6 update ROM that added extra features that the shippedROM did not have or wether it was Gonzos New Guava WM 6 ROM though.

iFonz very slow / crashing

I think I've put this in the right place, but Mods please feel free to move it if I haven't.
My O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond in a different housing) has worked perfectly with iFonz for many months. I'm on version 1.1.2. I am very, very happy with iFonz and would not want to go back to TouchFlo which is nowhere near as good.
Yesterday, iFonz suddenly started operating extremely slowly. I thought I had crashed, but in fact it responds to commands but takes anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to do so. Until then, it has been virtually instantaneous.
The first command I issue after it's been left for some time will work as normal, but if I open (say) the PI Calendar, then close that - the nothing else will work for about 15 seconds after the keypress.
The only change I know about is that I had a problem with ActiveSynch to a new desktop installation (the familiar 0x86000107 problem) which I fixed in the usual way by deleting and reinstalling the pairing. Activesync worked fine after that.
I have S2U2 running - but that's always been there.
I noticed from the time I first installed iFonz that it would not update its header bar for several seconds after starting, but everything else worked OK.
Can anyone suggest a cause or a fix? I'm reluctant to uninstall and reinstall because I've set up 4 pages of icons and don't want to lose all that work.

I never used iFonz but i'm pretty sure the settings are kept somewhere so you can export them and not have to set everything up from the beginning. I always suggest uninstalling to check what causes the problem.

Thank you. Indeed, that is what I would have expected. I've searched the machine carefully, and found the iFonz software but no settings file.
I've PMed the author, and meanwhile I've taken iFonz off the startup list and running Touchflo instead. I don't like it anything like as much as iFonz, but it works.

Well, there's been no reply from the author, and everything I've tried (including uninstall and reinstall) has made no difference. Sad, because I liked iFonz.

Please tell me how to fix the above a bit more specifik...
I don't understand what you mean by: "pairing"

"Pairing" is setting up the ActiveSync connection between the PDA/phone and the PC so that they will synchronise when you connect them.
If you get the error, you have a problem. I fixed mine for a few months, but then the problem came back worse, and the fixes that used to work stopped. Basically, I don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing the job reliably. It deleted all my contacts (losing me a load of names and addresses that I needed and couldn't recover). I threw it out some time ago.
I now use an iPhone which doesn't have any of those problems.
