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.
Has anyone found a way to disable the auto syncing "Bug" in active sync. Old versions could be set to only sync manually. but Microsoft crippled active sync by disabling this option.
I really hate the fact that if I connect my Smartphone to my PC for charging, copying files or installing software it insists on attempting to sync every 5 minutes.
This usually results in the file copying failing, or at best slowing it down. I only want to sync the phone every day or two, certainly not every five minutes.
The best option I can find is to only create a guest partnership and not sync anything from my windows PC - I also have a MAC and use Missing Sync to sync Contacts, Appointments, Files, Music, Pictures and SMS/call logs - much better than what Microsofts crappy active sync application can do.
Missinc Sync also remembers my custom ringtones on contacts, which I loose if Active sync decides to completely re-sync my phone - this usually happens if I remove my phone whilst it is syncing - because I picked it up to answer a call whilst it was doing another totally unwanted sync
Hi all-
I use Microsoft Outlook for my corporate email. Our main office disables Outlook from 12:00am-5:00am everyday for some reason.
I have my email sync set "as received". I was up in the middle of the night last night and checked my phone. I was receiving multiple sync error messages (since our corporate server was off line). My phone was hot and my battery was draining even while on the charger.
Is anyone aware of a program that has the ability to set specific times to sync?
Thank you!

If you're using a 2.1 ROM, you can manually turn off sync via the Power Control widget. Just a thought. Other than then, you can just turn off your mobile connection, so it doesn't do any data at all...I mean you're sleeping anyways right?
I know you're probably looking for a solution that would take care of itself, but thought I'd offer it up there.
Thanks so much for your reply and suggestions.
I really am hoping for some kind of automated program so I don't have to remember to turn it on/off all of the time. I'm old, lazy and forgetful!
I wish the syncing options were more like on WinMo 6+ for exchange where you can set peak hours and what the recurring sync schedule is for peak and off-peak times.
Great feature I miss. I would set for every 10 or 15 minutes during peak and every hour during off-peak. Great battery saver.
Maybe something like Auto-lock or Power Manager that can integrate with locale or a timer app so that you can shut off data syncing during certain times or locations. But then again, it would need to be specific settings per items you want to sync.

Hi,
is there a way on WP7 to create an time schedule for synching with outlook just like under Windows mobile 6.5?
i really miss this feature...
thnx

WP7 doesn't have the ability to talk to Outlook directly. However, it can talk to Exchange servers, or anything else that uses the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol. If you've got any such account, including Gmail, it's possible to edit it in Outlook and the changes will sync to the phone. It can also pull your calendar from Windows Live, and there's a tool that will allow Outlook to access and modify that calendar too.
To answer the question the OP posted - No, there is not currently (as far as I know) any way to set up a schedule for Exchange syncing. It is 'push' enabled by default, which would normally use less battery than a schedule.
I miss this also - I used to set mine up for 'push' during waking hours, and not at all at night so I did not get woken up...now I just mute my phone lol
Well, you already can (and have been able to since release) schedule email sync to occur only so often (every 15 min, 30 min, or 60 min) as well as immediately (push) or never (except manually). It's available in Sync Settings for all email accounts...
Not sure why you think Push uses less battery than scheduling. Push email requires the phone maintain a data connection that it's always listening on. Also, the phone automatically silences email notifications (if you have them enabled) at night. The hours are settable in the registry, but the defaults are sane for most people. No need to mute the whole phone.

Correct, that is available, but this is not what the OP asked for. The OP was asking for the ability to TIME schedule, like you could with Windows Mobile of old. ie. Have a working hours period, and a non-working hours period that is user-definable. So he could end up with, for example:
10am-5pm - As items arrive
5pm - 10am - Never, or Every 4 hours
This you cannot do.

To be fair, it does depend what schedule you have set, and how many emails you get. Also battery life on varying phones in varying conditions differs hugely. That being said, the following is generally true:
'Push' email with an exchange server does not keep a fully active data conection open, that passes a lot of data. The way it works, is it has a 'heartbeat' that keeps in contact with the server, and it only initiates a full data download when there is an email to receive. The 'heartbeat' uses very little data and battery power. When you have you email set up to receive emails every hour, the phone has to initiate a full data connection and data download, every hour, just to determine if there are any emails or not - this uses more data/battery. Now, if on average over a period you receive emails less frequently than your schedule is set up, then 'push' will generally use less battery. Also, it is probably fair to say, that if there is a reason for it to be important that you absolutely must check your email every hour or less, you will probably want it set to 'push' so you get them straight away. Downloading ten emails as they arrive over the period of an hours, will use roughly the same amount of data as downloading them all at the same time at the end of the hour - the emails will be the same size irrespective of when they are downloaded, the only slight difference being that on 'push' there might be a small amount of 'logon' each time.
This is only true for Exchange push email, which I assume the OP was talking about, as he said 'Outlook' which is how it is labeled on the phone. Other email accounts, such as gmail, may work differently.
Also, the phone automatically silences email notifications (if you have them enabled) at night. The hours are settable in the registry, but the defaults are sane for most people. No need to mute the whole phone.

Well, you learn something new every day - I can't say I have noticed this, I am sure mine notifies all night..What hours is it silenced by default? I will have to test this to see if mine works!
Hmm, I would have expected that the scheduled sync (as opposed to push mode) was effectively a very slow heartbeat, and if there isn't any mail to grab it uses no more power than a normal heartbeat (but does it much less often, thus using even less power). I suppose somebody could mess up implementing that and do it in a less logical way, though.
Gmail, if you use the default connection type, uses Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol - the same one used by real Exchange servers. This enables Push mode, as you may notice. IMAP supports push on the desktop, but it requires a constant connection and is too expensive on the phone, so you have to use a schedule. POP3 (do people really still use that?) doesn't support push at all.
I've heard the phone is supposed to have a "quiet hours" from something like 10 PM to 8 AM, though I don't remember the exact times. I can't find the reference to them in the registry that I though was there, though. In any case, it doesn't do anything for SMS, app push notifications, alarms, or incoming calls, of course. It's possible I'm isremembering, but I get email at all hours and I don't recall hearing it at night.
i have the same question, this is a important function.
Lads,
Thanks for all the answers.
Just to get this straight, i am connected to an Exchange and want Not to get waked up, when i receive an Email at 2 am. Under Windows mobile i could Set up an schedule, Let's say from 8 pm to 7 am there will be no synch with Exchange... And this is the Feature i Miss...
Phone not syncing hotmail as items arrive.
I just changed my LG Optimus 7 for a Nokia Lumia 800 and Hotmail is not syncing Hotmail as items arrive even when it is configured to do so in the Windows Live configuration tab.
At the bottom of the Windows Live Configuration tab there is an option called register that is deactivated by default but I cannot find any information of what it does.
Any idea about what it does (register) or what might be my problem with hotmail?
Thanks,
Does it at least sync them automatically at some point? Or is the auto-sync broken entirely?
Obviously, automatic sync requires data connectivity, but it also goes through some different network connections than the web interface. I've seen files arrive on my PC both before and after they arrive on the phone, even when both are set to automatic sync as items arrive. The difference is usually only a few seconds though, rarely anywhere near a minute.
They often arrive several minutes after I should have received them (max 2 hours). I think that the problem might be with Hotmail itself, today I read something about people reporting issues with hotmail at wmpowerusers.
Also during lunch I went back to the LG Optimus 7 and it does have the same issue when it was working fine until I made the switch during the weekend.
Another thing that I tried with initial success was to disable the wifi and started to work for a couple of hours, now is the same as before.
Hopefully it’ll be the Hotmail issue and will be temporal. I use mail instead of SMS and it cost me a lot to get friends jump from SMS to email.
Well, it is working fine today. I think that it was a temporal problem.
