Faria WM6 sync problem with vista

Hi all, I have a sync problem here just wonder if anyone has the same problem. I installed Faria's WM6 some time back and it was fine syncing with XP. Recently I upgraded my XP to vista and installed mobile device synchronisation center and I tried to sync with outlook 2007.
The device seemed to be unable to sync as the sync center said syncing in progress for a long long time. I waited 1 hour once before I unplugged it. I found that by selecting only files and notes, I was able to sync in less than 5 minutes. However if I selected to sync contacts, tasks or calendars the device would be unable to sync. I created a new outlook data file which was empty and tried to sync again but unsuccessful. I hope not to have to do a hard reset to try to sync so if anyone got any ideas I would be happy to try them.

you could try syncing to MS Excgange server for now (port88.org) ... for calendr,try goosync

i dont require email sync and i dont really want to have to find individual solutions for calendar, contacts or tasks. any other suggestions to solve my syncing issue?

ActiveSync & slow downs?

I have a ROM based on the 5.2.1933 base from it's right. It is working mostly OK, however when I have the Wizard 'docked' to my PC ActiveSync seems to be constantly synchronising - well not exactly constantly but more than I seem to remember it did with other ROMs I have installed or built. This wouldn't be a problem but when it is synchronising the Wizard is really sluggish, so much so that I sometimes can't answer calls due to it not reacting to the 'talk' button quick enough.
I sync with the default Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, Tasks & Favourites on my PC (standalone Outlook with just POP3/SMTP email) and also the Calendar, Tasks and Contacts with an Exchange 2007 Server on the Internet. It does seem to take a long time synchronising, especially the Outlook email from my PC. I have battery status installed and when it synchronises the CPU jumps up to 100% until it has finished. There then only seems a short period before it starts synchronising again.
I have now started to leave it disconnected from my PC when I am working at it in case a call comes in when it is synchronising.
Is this a common problem or could it be something I am doing or have configured wrong?

I have the same experience (Herald with Win 6.0)

Activesync only syncs wm6 -> pc, not the other way

I bought a Samsung i640 (wm6) a couple of days ago, but I do not manage to get my contacts from my pc (Win XP, office 2007) to my phone. I am trying to sync by USB cable (comes with the phone) by Activesync 4.5.
I tried a lot of things, all of which did not help. I tried:
- the Activesync 4.5 from the phone package
- the Activesync 4.5 downloaded from Microsoft.com
- Activesync 4.2, not supported by the phone, as the phone says
- deleted the phone profile from Activesync and re-installed it several times
- deleted and re-installed Activesync serverel times
- used the replace phone items with pc items setting, and the combine items setting
- used several Activesync settings, and unchecked the advanced network functionality setting in the phone
- checked my firewall (Kaspersky) settings, disabled Kasperky
- ran the Activesync troubleshoot functionality, no problems found
- checked the .pst file, no problems found
When I added items to my agenda on the phone, they synced nicely to Outlook. Also, a test contact created on the phone appeared in Outlook, but a contact created in Outlook did not appear on the phone.
After trying to sync on a different pc (Win XP, Outlook 2003) the contacts, which I copied to a .pst file from Outlook 2007, nicely appeared in my phone. When I connected to my own pc at home, the contacts appeared as doubles in Outlook, taken from the phone. After deleting some double contacts, they got deleted from my phone as well, although there still was one entry in Outlook.
I decided to clean the profiles from Activesync from my phone, after which all my data on the phone were deleted as well. After syncing again, I noticed that my contacts did not return, as I expected. Also, I noticed some agenda items appeared in my agenda, but only the one which were placed into Outlook from my phone, and the ones created in Outlook did not move to my phone.
So, I think some sort of connection error is on my pc, in Outlook 2007, as all items from my phone get to my pc, but not the other way around. Also, I think my phone settings are corrected, as I managed to put my contacts via Activesync 4.5 on my phone on a different pc.
I hope someone can help me, as I have no clue how to solve did, and I did not find any information on the internet in different forums.
Thanks in advance.

Activsync problems

I have HTC Fuze I purchase two weeks ago and having problems with Activesync.
I've installed the software and hook the usb to the computer and it sync just fine.
The next day I tried to sync, it didn't reconize my profile from previous day and made me do another one.
It worked for a couple days, now it says I have two profiles on the device and I need to delete one to sync.
Why is the Activesync not recognizing the very first one I did?

I'm assuming you are getting an error code. It would help if you could tell us the specific code #. It would narrow it down.
Also, are you using Activesync 4.5? Which would be the most recent. My last question is, which Windows Mobile are you using? If you are using WM 6.1 it has a bug which causes problems with Activesync, if you have more than 100 of any category of item that is being synced. Contacts, appointments, notes, etc.
One possibility for why it didn't recognize your profile, have you made any significant changes in your phone during this time?
When you delete one of the profiles, make sure you not only delete the profile on your PC, make sure you delete the extra profile(s) on the activesync on your phone.

I'm not getting an error code, I get the "welcome to Pocket PC Wizard" and it wants me to set the device up all over again.
I am using ActiveSync 4.5 and WM 6.1.
When it sync, I have 54 contacts and 28 calendar events, so it didn't reach the 100 you were talking about.
I did delete everything from the device and PC last night when I set the lastest profile up.
I just plug the USB to the device again today and it pop open the "Welcome to Pocket PC Wizard". I just set everything up last night.
I guess until they fix the bug, I will always have to do this.

Can't synchronize with Activesync!

Hi all,
It driving me insane that I can't work it out why Activesync is not syncing my phone.
Here is the situation. Got the phone from my brother. With him it synced fine, with USB cable, with Outlook 2003 and WM6.5.
I have the same setup but Outlook 2007.
What happens is that when it connects, it finds the device, I only set it to sync contact, tasks and calender of outlook. It then says "Looking for changes" and soon after it says "Synchronizing". But then it hangs.
I searched the forum and the internet. I tried reconfiguring, soft resets, installing CompanionLink (software that works through Activesync).
No joy!
I simply want to be able to keep my contacts, calender and tasks from outlook synced. Nothing more.
Any help!!?!

I had the same problem when i used Active Sync from XP, but i works when im using Win7.
Try deleting all the Active Sync settings and make the configuration from Win7. When i did that it worked when i connect to the PC with XP - strange but true...

Ok. But what do you mean with "make the setting for win7"?

Yay! Got it to work!
Funny that I had the feeling in the beginning that it might be the amount of to-be-synced items was going to be too big. And somewhere on the net I found someone with the same idea.
I disconnected the device (usb cable). I removed the device from the "file" dropdown menu. And reconnected the usb-cable. When prompted with the wizard, in the settings I deselected ALL the to be synced categories.
Then it found the device and it synced... nothing.
But it said it synced.
Then I opened the option menu in Activesync and added only the contacts. And hurray! It started syncing. Then I added the agenda and hurray again!
The only thing that happened is that I ended up with duplicate contacts and agenda items. But after an hour I had that fixed too.
Note: Although I don't think that it contributed to the solution, I did reinstall and soft-resetted the device before I did all this. Just to let you know...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this:
1. At setting | connections | Run the the 'USB to PC'
2. Uncheck "Enable faster data..."
3. Uncheck "Ask me first about USB...."
4. Soft reset phone & PC
5. sync again.
Note: This may enable activesync works but file transfer from PC to Phone/Storage will fall back. may need to swap the setting back.
HOPE it helps.
