XDA IIs Sync with outlook problem - General Topics

my XDAIIs has been working fine sync'ing with my work and home computer, then it just decided not to sync the calender, everything else is fine. if you look in activ sync/tools/options there is no tick box next to calender anymore, There used to be ! This is happening on both computers, i have even tryed it on a brand new computer, still the same. O2 blame active sync, microsoft blame O2.
I have recently upgraded the XDA software, but did'nt sync for a while after doing so. I cannot therefor say that this only started after the upgrade, but i think so. One thing is for sure, three different computers cannot have the same problem, i think i am almost sure the problem is in the XDA, but what can stop just the calender from syncing ??

Active Sync Nightmare!

I am having real problems with Microsoft’s Active Sync 3.8.
Both on my laptop at home and on my pc at work.
I have lost count the number of times it fails to recognise the partnership and I have to recreate it! When it does, if forgets which PC the partnership was on and won’t let me connect to both!
Now it won’t sync the calendar for some reason!
I have tried to uninstall it and re-install wit no joy. I have tried Microsoft :evil: I have tried their newsgroups :roll:
I am wary about trying 4.1 ?
The only alternatives seem to rely on a version of AS to start with, but are there any other programmes, that don't rely on active sync and that work better?

I'm running 4.1 very sucessfully. Granted I've got a Himalaya, not a Magician.
Why not give 4.1 a try ... see if it works for you. If it doesn't, you can always uninstall and try something else.
I too would love to see something besides MS AS available - but haven't found anything thus far
So very sadly active sync 4.1 has not solved the problem!
Now i don't know which way to turn.
1.Could it be a problem with my PC at work or Laptop at home, if so do rebuild them both?
2.Could it be problem with active sync (version), therefore I don't know who to contact at Microsoft!
3.Could it be a problem witht he device its self, therefore is it HTC I contact, again!
A final though is to return this back to T-Mobile, ha ha!
so3,
did you start off using the Magician with ActiveSync 3.8? Maybe trying an older version would work:

Active Sync not allowing calendar synchronization

Please help.
I have an XDA2i and I'm running Active Sync 4.2.0. When I try to sync, everything works fine, except I cannot select calander as a sync option with my XDA. Where I would normally go into options and check the box for calendar, there is no check box.
This is really starting to do my nut in as I've tried creating a new profile but the problem follows the profile. Any suggestions would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks
Have you got a default calendar set-up in outlook?
Yes...it used to work. It suddenly stopped allowing any synchronization, that's when I created a new profile for the XDA2i and updated to 4.2 but it will now not synchronize Calendar. It will sync the Contacts & tasks but the most important thing for my work is the Calendar.
Thanks
Calander problem and other queries
Hi I have had an xda2i in the past and it all worked fine with the Calander. This week my newer model xdamini S broke down so I turned to the replacment xda2i i had been sent when the other one packed up and I just cant get it to recognise the calander. Its just not in the list. As you say contacts etc is there but Calander is not. The strange thing is when setting up connection you can choose to sync with calander, contacts etc which I select only to find that once the sync occurs Calander is just not in the list. Can anyone you had anyone help solving this?? Im using outlook 2003. Also the xda2i im using has not got the latest drivers I have looked for them on the 02 site but they dont seem to be their anymore. Finally, what does the radio version do anyway? Help with these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Right then....
...The only workaround I have managed to find is simple...
1) Remove the ActiveSync software and all pairings
2) Hard Reset the XDA2i (yes, that means everything is lost is nothing has sync'd)
3) Re-install ActiveSync and recreate the partnership again.
It seems drastic, but since doing that the XDA2i now functions perfectly. Hope this helps some people (I'm reluctant to try anything like this on my new Mini S cos I can't get it to partner up at all..but that's another thread )

Calendar Not Syncing via Exchange!!!

Have a Kaiser not TILT which out of the box had no issue calendar syncing via Exchange directly along w/ emails and contacts.
I am on the AT&T network as well.
Upgraded ROM to Schap's newest and calendar wouldn't sync
Upgraded to Dutty's Touch WWE as well and calendar wouldn't sync
My radio is the standard from Kaiser 1.27.12.11
ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED>>>
PLEASE HELP!!!

Just curious....
Are you syncing directly with Exchange via push-type activesync? Or syncing with your local calendar on your PC with activesync?
I am going direct to Exchange. For my company, I had to add Server Source in Activesync (after adding my company's security certificate), and enter in all the relevant info (server name, secure connection or not, username/password, etc).
Not sure if that sheds any light....good luck.

I am doing it directly to Exchange...we don't use certficates and it works on my hermes with no problem and with custom ROMS...yet once I began using custom ROMS on my Kaiser it stopped syncing ONLY my calendar items...I just deleted the partnership directly on the phone just now and re-added it back, but to no avail...problem still exists...during the initial sync Active Sync on the phone even says syncing 200 calendar items, yet the calendar shows nothing...
HELP!!!!
When you look in activesync on your phone does it give any error code etc? I have heard of issues with corrupt appointments giving off errors when syncing. Any error will stop the sync of that piece of outlook. IE email gets and error email won't sync, but calendar will etc etc...

Unfortunately no error codes at all it as if it works perfectly...yet when looking at your calendar, nothing is there...i am miffed and pissed at the same time therefore miff-pissed
I guess for the sake of narrowing down the issue, you could re-flash the original Kaiser ROM. The link is posted here somewhere.
I don't know what could be going on. I have the Tilt. I have flashed several ROMs (all based on ATT ROM though), and never had any issues.
Best of luck.
i know this sounds strange but did you flash another radio when you flashed the new ROM's?
Reason being, on my Hermes certain Radio's made my Exchange syncing go crazy. Flashing a different radio version solve my problem. Might be worth a try if you havent?
This may sound stupid, but have you verified the date on your phone? Maybe you are accidently 1 year early, so it is syncing your appts but you are looking for them a year from now or whatever. I did this once and it drove me crazy.
Thank you both for your comments/suggestions...the date is correct as I have verified it...as for the radio, I did NOT upgrade the radio from the original that came with the device...even on my hermes I never ever had this type of issue...guess I will try looking at a different radio and seeing if I should flash that..problem is that most people who have the HTC radio .11 say that there is no benefit to upgrading the radio at all. I am beyond miffed!!!
Just upgraded the radio to .17; deleted partnership on the PC and the Kaiser, soft reset device; added partnership back and sync'd...STILL NO CALENDAR!!!! UGGH!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

What operating system are you using? Vista WMDC v6.1 or MS Active Sync v4.5? If you're using Vista you may need to update WMDC to v6.1 and if WinXP you may need to update to Active Sync v4.5. If that is done, please delete and recreate your partnership again...sorry, then under File > Connections menu please select option that says "This computer is connected to" and choose [The Internet]. This is basically part of the process for "How to: Connect to Internet via 2 different proxy settings (1 for GPRS and 1 for Wifi/ActiveSync) and somehow it works for me...maybe as a fluke of luck... Establish a cable connection and sync...takes a bit of time...Please PM me for the documentation if you're interested.
I'm having a similar problem but email won't sync on mine where Calendar does.
I'm using a fresh O2 Stellar (no mods) & Vista WMDC 6.1.6965
Calendar syncs over the air without issue.
My previous O2 mini-s worked flawlessly as do others in my company.
No errors are reported by activesync and it thinks everything is wonderful.
Any tips? It's immensley annoying.
I am using Vista along with the most recent version of WMDC 6.1xxx; i have deleted and recreated the partnerships so many times...no matter what ROM i use it only syncs my contacts and emails...never the calendar..gonna try 1 more time now..I just don't understand this...even w/ my Hermes I never had this issue.
Stranger still...
In my case I can sync everything except appointments created on my device. They just never sync.
Same Problem with user in my company...
I am part of the IT group in my company and 1 of our users are experiencing the same issue.
Good News: Its not your phone. I've tested the users email on multiple phones and receives same result.
Ban News: Still haven't pin pointed the issue
Try running ScanPST.exe on your pc... Maybe something corrupt in your outlook calendar causing the problem.
Calendar appointments created on my device are the only things that won't sync for me. First noticed it when ActiveSync drained my battery in about an hour and a half from attempting and re-attempting to sync to exchange server. I have not installed any new programs, changed any configuration settings, or updated ROM recently to cause this.

Had this problem awhile ago, and switched ROMS and it went away. Back again. ran the scanpst on all psts and ost, deleted partnesrhips and no go. Really annoying.
See this thread as well. I started it awhile ago and it never had a firm resolution.

I have had the same problem on a few ROMs as well as the one I’m on now. One thing to note is I also noticed a contact added to the device would not sync as well. Anyway it's a bad work around but I found something and it will get ALL of your stuff to sync. I found it on another site's forums (sorry cvan remember which one) when I could not find anything about it here other than people mentioning they had the same problem but no solution.
1. Change your Time Zone to a NON-DST time zone (I’ve used GMT-4:30 Caracas) and save the setting.
2. Click ‘Yes” to saving changes to the clock setting.
3. Manually hit Sync in ActiveSync on your device and let it go over your cellular line (sorry haven’t tried it hooked a PC)
4. Once completed change back to your original Time Zone, sync again, and all should be well.
I have to do this EVERY time I add a new appointment to the device directly. I hope this help and I’m REALLY hoping one of you guys can figure this one out and come up with a fix.

sync problem with outlook

I was wondering if anyone out there has suffered and resolved the following issue.
I have a Sensation which is running ICS version 4.0.3 and software number 3.32.401.5 the ROM I’m currently using is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 the deodexed version.
I use this phone for work and up until 2 weeks ago everything was working without issues but for some unknown reason all of a sudden, HTC Sync has stopped working. I’m now unable to Sync my work calendar to my phone and since the office are often updating my diary via a CRM package I need these changes to be reflected on my phone. I know it’s not the HTC Sync program, as I have the sync software installed on 3 machines. My home laptop, my work laptop and my work desktop and the phone no longer syncs to any of them. I’ve installed and reinstalled (and before anyone asks antivirus was turned off ), still no joy.
Does anyone one know what might have gone wrong or does anyone know of a different app or program I can use to update the calendar? I did try Google calendar sync but that just didn’t sync, no matter what sync interval I used.
I must add I’m only trying to get my outlook appointments to show up on my phone I don’t need a 2 way sync solution.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice given.
