Is it possible to synchronize my 8125 without Outlook? I am not willing to use it let alone install it.
Sure, you can sync, but it will not sync contacts, calendar, or notes as there's nothing to sync with.
Are you asking if there are other applications you can use instead, or just if you can sync files, music, and things without the need for the rest?
sure you can just make an email account with mail2web.com it gives you an online exchange server for free and you can sync your contacts to that whether you use the email or not is your choice but it gives you something to sync to
That's pretty kickass!
I have been using Emoze for my push email, but that meant leaving my PC on all the time, this means I can just forward email to it, and use that.
Not really the reason you posted it, but thanks
Solution Found
I found a solution to my problem and I,m just posting it for everyone else to see in case they need it to:
FinchSync
http://ww.finchsync.com/
Did you have the phone in Modem link mode or activesync mode when you connected it to the pc to use finchsync?
Install Linux on your pc and use something like Kitchensync or similar to sync with your favourite program
@famewolf: Sorry I can't help, I haven't used it yet.
Hi all
I`m pretty sure many ppl ran into this problem before me, so I hope someone will be kind and shed some light for me on this one
It seems to me that for some reason I cannot keep my contacts and other stuff on my Universal after deleting a AS relationship with my PC.
This is what I did:
Initially I sync my desktop PC to my Universal via active sync 4.5. (the synchronization includes: contacts, calendars, appointments, notes from outlook 2003)
So far so good the relationship created between the PC and the Uni fine and Now I have my contacts etc on my phone.
Now I decide I don`t wish to necessary break the relationship between the PC and the Uni, but I do not want to sync my contacts anymore.
On the AS i hit tools>options and try to remove the check from say the contacts. at that point AS welcomes me with this: "To proceed, AS must remove all Contacts on your PocketPC. Do you want to continue?" niiice.... so at this point if you say no nothing happens if you say yes guess what... all your synced contacts are gone... Now I want to keeeeeeeeeeep them.
If i try to delete the relationship from the AS, then next time I connect the Uni AS REMOVES everything that was used to set to sync without asking...[contacts,notes,calendar,tasks] I have to add that when you are deleting a relationship it does tell you that it will remove all this from the uni next time you connect it....
I tried this from my uni > active sync settings "delete" the PC from the list (aka remove the relationship) and it immediately removed all contacts etc..... even if i just try to stop the contacts from being syced with the PC it warns me that if I do this it`ll remove all contact from the uni..... ???
???
at this point I`m just sad about this because it`s not a bug certainly. Its just bad design IMO.
here are a few details about this show:
PC: MS Windows XP PRO SP2 with all updates as of now.
PPC: T-mobile MDA PRO running ROM:2.02.00 WWE -- thanks Jay...
AS: Active Sync 4.5.0 (build 5096)
Outlook: MS Outlook 2003 Standard with all the updates as of now.
Is that really possible that they actually thought this way of synchronization was a good idea???
I like to figure out a way that would allow me to keep all the data on the phone even after I deleted the AS synchronization relationship.
...going once....
Maybe not that many people got stuck with this then....
I`ll try a few things in the meantime....
WIZARD82. I have the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
Wait a minute.. are you trying to let the PC be connected with ur Uni via AS but not sync anything? I tried doing that before... I think the trick is with Outlook since AS does not provide any other option. You have to like break the connection between AS and Outlook or something.. I'll play around it when I get home.
Edit:
Hey I got it... I tried it here at the office. Just delete the current relationship and create a new one without checking anything in the list of items to be sync'ed. You still get to keep all the data on both PC and PPC!
1. Make sure the PPC is unplugged.
2. On AS, go to File -> Delete Mobile Device and just say Yes to the question.. you won't lose anything (as far as I know since I still have all my contacts)
3. Plug in ur PPC.
4. Create a new relationship without checking any options on the list of items.
That's it! Hope this helps.
Hello,
I had a Nokia 6620 and I synced all the contacts with my laptop running Vista through Nokia PC Suite. I have a folder named "Contacts" in Vista now, which is also linked to the Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail is supposed to be the updated version of Outlook Express. When I opened Windows Mobile Device Center to sync all the contacts and calendar items to my HTC Fuze, the options to sync my contacts and calendar are disabled. Am I doing something wrong here? How do I sync all the data, which was stored on my Vista system by Nokia PC Suite, with my HTC Fuze, without opening a Windows account? Is there any other application I can use for this, other than Windows Mobile Device Center?
Thanks,
Keith
I am really stuck with all my contacts in Windows "Contacts" folder and not being able to sync them with my HTC Fuze. I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction or help me out. Thanks.
Now I could be way off here so apologies if that is the case. I think WMDC only deals with Outlook (not Outlook Express). If that is the case then try importing your contacts into Outlook and then re-setting up your sync settings. That might help.
Another thing to consider is to go into Activesync on your device and then options. Look at what it thinks it is syncing. If contacts are already set to sync with something, then uncheck this and run the WMDC connections wizard again. You may find that this time you can select the contacts folder this time.
As I said, I could be way off as I am not a computer guru by any stretch of the imagination. All the best.
Sorry, 1 more thought. You may want to try and uninstal Nokia PC suite-it could be that WMDC sees the contacts being synced with Nokia PC suite and thus wont allow it to sync with your HTC. If you do unistall just remember to back up your contacts etc otherwise you could end up loosing them all. Not good me thinks!
Nokia Suite maintains its own database which is independent of Outlook's. Both can reside on the PC without conflict, however, the OP needs to have the data (Contatcs/Tasks/Notes/Cal, etc) in Outlook to sync to WM devices.
@incisivekeith
Easiest way to deal with this is:
Export out of the PC Suite to csv format (comma separated)
Import into Outlook
Sync with addressbook in outlook (combine records)
Sync with phone using active sync
Thank you everyone for your responses, but I have been struggling with another major issue here now. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was not able to select contacts and other data in Windows MObile Device Center, so I unstalled WMDC as well as the device driver update. I restarted my system and when I installed both the WMDC driver update and WMDC istself, my system doesn't recognize my Fuze anymore. Not only that, I don't have many options in WMDC now, and, the WMDC window doesn't open most of the times. I have tried uninstalling both of them again, installing their versions from Microsoft's Web site, but to no avail. So now, I have the following problems:
1. I don't have functioning WMDC
2. When I connect my Fuze, it is not recognized, although the system makes a sound that there is something connected on the USB port
3. Vista has Windows Mail, not Outlook or Outlook Express
In response to suggestions about Activesync, I just learned that Activesync is installable only on XP, not Vista. I have been struggling with these issues since today morning. This shouldn't be this difficult, after all.
I will try connecting my Nokia 6620 to my system and try to export the contacts to csv format. When I opened Nokia PC Suite without connecting my Nokia phone, the contacts list showed empty on the Suite, maybe because it doesn't store them on the system, and pulls them out only from the phone? I will find that out too.
If someone can, please let me know how to unistall WMDC properly and reinstall it so that it functions the way it did the first time. Are there any other free software to accomplish this? All the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Connect Fuze to WMDC
Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC
If the "Enable adv..." is checked, uncheck or vice versa

Thanks, that somehow helped, I am not sure how, but it did. When I cheched that option off, it again recognized my Fuze as a new device and installed the driver and WMDC, which works fine now, but still doesn't allow me to select contacts, calendar items, etc.
I followed a method here: http://manish.wordpress.com/2008/11/14/importing-contacts-to-windows-mobile-without-ms-outlook/
That method imported all data, with all contacts named "Unknown" and missing the details (phone numbers, address, etc.) of most of the contacts. So, I installed Outlook 2007 and tried to import the csv file in Outlook, but it gave me an error saying its translator was not able to read the csv file (the clipping of the error is attached). I have the following questions now:
1. How do I overcome the importing error
2. How do I sync contacts from Nokia phone directly into Outlook instead of Windows Mail, so that I can have the contacts in Outlook and then, I can just sync Outlook and Fuze.
3. Or, is there a way to have the contacts synced between Windows Mail and Outlook?
Again, thanks for all the help.
@incisivekeith
Haven't had a Nokia for some time but AFAIK the latest PhoneSuite allows you a full sync with outlook.
CSV can be tricky because it may fail at custom fields. Check the CSV file using Excel if you have all headers.
Worst case - take a deep breath and read what google has to say ...

OP, do you have OL installed? Otherwise, get OL and setup your Nokia PC Suite to sync with OL, then you can bring your contact & calendar from the Nokia into OL, then sync to your WM device thereafter. If you are not going to have OL soon, then dump your Nokia contacts onto the SIM and drop the SIM into the WM, but you still need to find a way to "scrub" the data.
Almost the same reply but putting the contacts on the SIM usually truncates add info like long names and multi phone entries. Through outlook would be the best and easiest way IMO.

Agreed, hence the "scrub" I threw that in b/c it appears the OP doesn't have OL readily available.
PHEW , finally!! It took me the whole day to just figure this out, and now I am thinking why I didn't think about this earlier. But I know why, probably because I didn't want to install Outlook just for the purpose of syncing. Anyway, tyguy, you were right that there should be/was a provision in Nokia PC Suite to sync that contacts with Outlook. I had checked all the settings, but I was checking the settings with Windows Mail chosen, I could find that I could choose Outlook only when I decided to create new settings. I synced Nokia phone to Outlook and then Outlook to my Fuze. Almost all the contacts and calendar items are as they are on my Nokia phone, so I am extremely happy. Some of the contacts, very few, are missing the phone numbers, but I can do that manually for that less a number of contacts. Thank you everyone for helping me out. I really appreciate it.
I remember I had to do a lot of work to solve this, and now I want my E90 back, cause all issues of this bad phone. It is not "safe": does not always ring the alarm, appointments gestion is very very bad, contacts sucks.
I have now the trial version of outlook, now it is over on 31/01 and I have no idea hot to do. I can' t syncronize anymore cause I will not pay for Outlook.
The reality is: wm sucks, i' m waiting for android.
PS: I saved contacts then copied one by one in outlook.
(forgive my english)

And well, WM contacts only support 1 mobile number. Lots of contacts i have to register twice! It sucks!
Hello
Firstly, sorry for my english, it's not good, but I think you understand me.
PC: Outlook 2007, 1 mail account.
Pocket (Raphael, doesn't matter now) with WM6.1 and standard mail program from MS.
And now, I can do 2 things:
1. Synchronize mails from Outlook on my PC to WM device via WMDC (Vista).
Effect? I have all mails from PC in my phone, but I can't send/receive mails directly from mail program in WM.
2. I configured email account on my phone, I can send and receive mails, but I can't synchronize its with my Outlook on PC.
Both situactions don't answer me, I want to do all operations together.
Can I do this in WM?
Maybe another, alternative software can do?
If my "problem" is solved here, sorry for that and please copy here link to proper thread.
I will be thankful.
sorry for short answer, but im quite busy.
Do not sync mails via activesync
Set both your computer and phe pda to fetch your mails through IMAP4 not POP3.
You have to delete and recreate the acount in outlook ...
but then, you select the mail as read in PC, it gets marked as read in next synchronization on the pda and vice versa. same with deleting. And if you send the mail from pda, it gets to send items on PC.
hope it helps
Wow, thanks. That is it! Ingredible and... simple Works perfect to me.
Thank You once again!
By mistake I ahd already posted this in the Blackstone subforum, altough it is a general WM6 topic. Sorry - please answer here.
Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints
SkyBook does that for you.
Have a look at this...
http://magnifoca.com/products.html
Thank you for your reply. However, to my understanding this application will only pull profile photos but no other contact information...
Pulling photos to my existing contacts is something i can already do with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.
I am interested in an application which will pull ALL information from FB (including photos, websites, and email) and enhance existing or create new contacts with it.
Yep, I know, and this application does that.
When I've used this before and asked it to sync my contacts, the first one it comes to that is not in my contact list, it asks if I want it to automatically create a contact for me.
I've never done it myself, as I don't want people off facebook in my contact list, but that's what it's for.
Cheers,
John.
skybook is a no go in the HTC snap with 6.5
Tried Skybook (latest, ver.1.4 Build 12281) on my Touch Pro, still cannot login despite following all the instruction. Ideas anyone? Thank you!
After struggling a lot with this application on my Touch HD, I decided to finally remove it. I get the well known and often reported login error.
I wonder:
Is it possible to install it in a vrtual windows mobile device on my PC and import my facebook to that? - THEN export the contacts to a custom location on my PC and import to my real Touch HD?
Ideas how to connect to the internet with the emulated WM6??
Afaik, there are several ways to do it.
Either you use Outlook to sync your contacts on your device, so you use Outsync to sync facebook to outlook, allthough I do not know what it syncs...
Or, you can export your facebook contacts list and add them into Windows Live. And then sync it to your device.
Using HTC Touch Pro I'm having issues too.
Trying to go to skybook.com gives me an error:
msxml3.dll error '80072efd'
A connection with the server could not be established
/includes/adtrack.asp, line 40
Can't login to the program after authorizing the app to pull data from facebook.
apps.facebook.com/snaptoface Doesn't load for me to re-authorize and FB doesn't show I have it as authorized... I'll have to check it out more but seems to me the snap2face/skybook website is having issues.
