I own an XDA, XDAll, XDAlls and now an XDA mini s. With the earlier XDAs I could sync them all on one computer and using one Outlook account I could get them all to update each other re calendar, contacts etc (excellent for the family updating each other). When I got the XDA mini s I read somewhere that it would only run on the new Activesync 4 (as supplied) so I installed it on a separate computer. It works very well but I haven't figured out a way to get it to swap Outlook data with the others. The mini s will not work on the earlier versions of Activesync. I've tried the XDAlls with Activesync 4. It sets up a partnership but encounters a problem when trying to access Outlook.
Any thoughts on a solution would be appreciated.

has anyone sorted how to get the notes field from a calendar entry to sync ?
I'm having a similar problem where my task notes are not sync'ing. I think this is a bug, since it used to sync with my Tmobile SDA, but not with my DASH.
I have the same problem after upgrading to WM6 on my Samsung i600...
Did you solved it in the meantime and help me with it?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
My calendar notes sync fine with my WM6 Dash -- it also worked with WM5 prior to the upgrade. Currently using Vista with Outlook 2007, previously it was working also with XP and Outlook XP.
Do you have the most recent version of Activesync? Could that be related?
Hi Chaznet,
I have Vista and Outlook 2007. Before upgrading my i600 to WM6 it worked fine. I did the ROM-upgrade a week ago, but just found it out yesterday.
I can make notes attached to a task on my device, it will sync and end up in Outlook on my PC. But just adding one letter to it or something will keep the note on the PC side but after syncing it is gone on my smartphone.
I have WMDC 6.0.6783, I also tried WMDC 6.1 but this will end up in an error on WMDC that I have to delete the current sync-connection and make a new one. I tried to reinstall WMDC back and forth between 6.0 and 6.1 and deleting the sync relation on my device so it was blank (no contacts, tasks, agenda at all present on the device). The only thing it remembers is my device name I gave it on my PC, so maybe I have to manually delete that somewhere.
So if you have a sollution or a place to look. It will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sorry, never had a problem with it so never had to troubleshoot. Maybe you can find a forum somewhere specific to your device -- possibly it's related to a i600 (whatever that is)...

Hi Chaznet,
It's the Samsung i600 similar to the BlackJack but with Wifi. It is on the European market.
thanks for your answer but if someone else has an answer... This will be great.
notes sync fine with me. i am using:
- tmobile dash w/ iu russian wm6 beta rom
- activesync 4.5
- outlook 2003
You should look for a Samsung forum -- might be something to do with that device. I do seem to recall an earlier version of ActiveSync having this issue, but I really don't remember -- glad it's not something I'm having a problem with, sorry to hear you are...

I believe you can't have 2 devices connected and syncronized at the same time so what you would have to do is go to connection settings and remove the option to sync contacts. Instead I would reccomend PIM Backup which backs up your contacts to your storage card and you dont have to worry about your contacts getting mixed up with your wifes.
I guess you just have to have 2 separate XP sessions.
i have my wizard and my girlfriends hx2495 connected to the same computer. i just set up two different users that utilize different outlook profiles.

That sounds like a good idea, fortunately I only have one device to sync and don't have to worry about that. But once I get my new phone and give the wife this one then we might have a problem.
Hi having some problems with my xda orbit 2 and my new laptop.
i've just purchased a new laptop with windows vista and i'm trying to sync my xda (running windows mobile 6) with it.
using windows mobile device centre i am able to explore the xda but i cannot get the calendar on the phone to sync with office outlook 2003 which i've installed on the new laptop. it will not sync in either direction and is driving me nuts.
i've switched off the firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC, soft reset the phone, deleted and recreated the device partnership and generally pulled my hair out.
any advice on how i can get this sync to work will be very gratefully received!!
many thanks,
jeff
p.s. is there anyway to sync a windows mobile calendar and a windows live calendar?
U must make Windows update in Vista with connected phone and select from recommended updates Update for HTC device for WMDC... I have problems too and this helps me...
thanks for the reply, i have tried what you've suggested but windows doesn't find any updates related to the mobile device. seems i'll have to keep trying
cheers,
jeff
Hi I am selling my Fuze to my brother (whenever the TP2 comes out on Tmo) and want to know the best way to transfer his contacts from his Blackberry to the Fuze. I tried the search function in both this subforum and the entire site. (also I googled it) no clear answers there and nothing here. If any could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
If you have Outlook, use Desktop Manager (Blackberry) to sync the Blackberry to Outlook using a usb cable. That will give you contacts, calendar and tasks. Then depending on the version of Windows he has XP or Vista you'll run Active Sync or Mobile Device Manager to sync Outlook with the Fuze.
Regards-Michael G.
$5-$10 at a phone store to transfer it if you don't know how to
great

Thanks. I just did not know enough about blackberries to know if they had something to sync with outlook. I take it I can download DM from the BB website?
Hello,
i hope this is the right place to ask this question. I got a blackberry from my company and i have a HTC Touch Pro 2. The problem that i have is that all my contacts are stored in the Touch Pro (and sync'ed with MyPhone service) and i would like to have a way to syncronize them with the blackberry (i guess it has the enterprise something). Any advice?
Thank you
Lello
What is your company email platform?
Are you allowed to install Blackberry Desktop Manager/Active Sync?
Personally I have done it this way:
Contacts on HD Mini sync'd to online Exchange account and via OggSync to Google. Was also sync'd via AS to Outlook on PC but not at present.
Google sync installed on BB and linked to same Google account. Also tried Companion Link on works laptop to link with Google but the OTA system was easier to manage.
I didn't try yet to install Desktop Manager on the BB. I tried to install Google sync on it and it doesn't work. Got a 9700 bold.
Maybe the easiest solution is to use DM/AS on a pc and sync both BB and TP2 there?
Quite probably the easiest.
I didn't do it that way as my corporate email/BB is Lotus Notes and my HD mini is actually connected to mail2web Exchange.
