Better software than ActiveSync, for WinXP ? - General Topics

I currently have a WM6 phone (HTC Touch) and I'd like to find a good piece of sync software. I need it to show reports of what has been changed and where (phone or pc) after each synchronization (like the ones we have in Nokia's Sync software). One with more configuration options would also be nice.
Thanks in advance.

How to sync a WM2003 AND a WM5 device on the same PC?

I have an HP iPaq rx3715 (WM2003), which I used to sync with ActiveSync 3.8. Never any problems.
Nowadays I also have a MDA Vario (WM5), which can only be synced with ActiveSync 4.1, so I installed 4.1. Synching the Vario is no problem.
Now... The problem... I can no longer sync my iPaq.
The iPaq needs ActiveSync 3.8, the MDA Vario needs ActiveSync 4.1.
There is no way to have both versions installed on the same PC. I tried.
I even tried to install the different versions on seperate XP accounts. Didn't work either.
In theory I could install 3.8 on PC1, and install 4.1 on PC2.
The problem with that is that the PST-file is located on PC1, and not on PC2. For security-reasons it is not possible to run a copy of the PST on PC2. (Besides... It wouldn't not be a very handy workaround.)
Now... How can I sync the above two devices on the same PC, with the same PST-file?
Anyone???
AS 4.1 includes 3.8 in it.
When you sync 2003, all icons etc become old type - I do it everyday - sync my universal and sync my Benq p50
No issues.
Well.... My rx3715 won't sync on AS4... But AS4 is needed for the MDA Vario... :|
Anyone else any ideas?
Why do the iPAQ need AS 3.8? Alls WM2003 Devices are working with AS 4 too.
Hello Sjaakman!
Unfortunately, i don't know an alternative way to sync a PPC with a PC, but I can tell you that I've successfully synchronized a rx3715 with a PC running XP SP2 and AS 4.1 many times, infect I even managed to sync a Dell with WM 2002 with the same PC no problem.
I suggest you make sure you have the latest version of AS and that the installation is clean. It is possible that while trying to install the previous version you somehow damaged the current installation which is why it wont sync.
Good luck!
I tried and I tried and I tried.... And I could never get it to work...
I just now tried a clean install of AS... And what do you know... It works :shock: :roll:
Thanks.

Not sure how you got it to work.
I was never able to get my iPAQ h6315 to sync with AS 4.1. After struggling with it a while, I noticed that in fact, Microsoft states the following on the AS 4.1 download page:
- ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
- For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices, please continue using ActiveSync 3.8.
For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices please continue using ActiveSync 3.8

I just wanted to add that I believe this statement means you don't need to upgrade unless you have a WM5 device.
If any one is interested I can tell you from experience that I've successfully synchronized devices with OSs WM2002, WM2003 / SE (including iPaq 6315), WM5 and CE 4.2 (not PPC) with a clean install of AS 4.1 and no tweaking done. So far it appears to be completely backward compatible.
Just for the record: I am not trying to defend MS. But if you have a similar problem to the one mentioned in this thread, you should check the AS installation before breaking your head trying to find another solution. The problem could also be on the device side, and may be solved by hard reset (not pleasant but effective).

Remote control of Mobiles

Hi all,
I have to setup a bunch of windows HTC mobile phones remotely, and talking the users thru the steps and loading the correct software is extremely frustrating and time consuming.
I do have remote access to their PC's, so ideally it would be great to just remote the PC and see their device that is attached via USB to the PC.
Does anyone know if there is some software that will allow me to remote the PDA and take control from a PC?
Thanks in advance.
my mobiler is a freeware app that does exactly that.
http://www.mymobiler.com/
if you have to install it on many mobiles you may want to just cook your own rom with the software you want already built into it.
there is a program called my mobilizer... I think. while you have control of the customers computer, have them connect the device then install the program. I use this when im setting up my phone. so much easier.
ill try to get a link soon
lman
Thanks guys, My Mobiler looks perfect going to test it now on my own device.
If you can remote to thier PCs, use the MS powertoy available for mobiles. Found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...7aa-ab28-6a2b006edfe9&displaylang=en#filelist
CE Remote Display. Just make sure all your users with PDAs have it installed on thier PC and the PDA. Lets you "drive" the PDA while it's connected via USB (or bluetooth and wireless I think but have never used those).

Then, it won't work, sorry.

how many WM6.1 Roms there is ?

how many WM6.1 Roms there is ?
Is there only 2 Version for Treo 750 right now the "Normal" and "Light" ?
oh and isn't WM6.1 ment to have carousel interface ?
((and wasn't it ment to have a feature to manege all the data (eg. Contacts, E-mail) from web service, so like if u lost ur fone u cen wipe it remoutly (that was a rumer online b4 WM6.0 ware out)))
I think those features are for the standard smart phone edition not the Pocket PC.
WM 6 and WM6.1 both have the remote wipe feature, but this can only be performed if your device is conncected to an Exchange 2007 (or later) server.
The new interface has only been shown on standard devices and thats where most of the focus has been because it is difficult to navigate around some WM standard devices, but you will see it come to WM Pro devices

Synchronisation throught SkyDrive (WM 6.5 / WM 6.5.3)

Hello everyone,
I watched an interesting TV commercial yesterday showing a kind of live synchronisation between a Win7 computer and a Windows Phone 7 phone.
The stunning thing was that all changes performed at the PC came to the phone at once!
Here's the spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXg4sZ8IUXI
Is this also possible under WM 6.5 or 6.5.3?
I have just read through some threads and they told that the programs used are OneNote 2010 Mobile / Desktop version and synchronisation via SkyDrive.
Some users mentioned this would not work under older WM versions since it is not compatible. Can anyone help and provide some more information concerning that issue?
Thanks in advance!
I use GoodSync for that (My Documents), but this isn't exactly what you're looking for.

[Q] MS Outlook and Android smartphone

Hi,
I heavily use Microsoft Outlook (ver 2010) for work and home usage. So far I was using a Nokia phone (XpressMusic 5530) and have been extremely happy about Nokia Suite integrating very well with my Outlook data and synchronizing very well my multimedia data. :good:
I just got myself my first Smartphone (Galaxy S4 mini), it was a gift, and learned how much I miss Nokia Suite . I have been reading a lot on several forums learning that a lot of users are both complaining for not being able to find something very similar to Nokia Suite, for Android Phones, and for disliking a lot Kies :crying:. Moreover, recently, Samsung announced that Kies will not support Microsoft Outlook 2010 and greater ver.: considering also that Kies does not even sync multimedia data from the phone to the PC (absurd) and the Wi-Fi sync is quite slow.
Can someone please advise me what should I do in order to both enjoy the beauty of a smartphone and also being able to have a comprehensive and stable synchronization system well integrated with native phone apps (if possible)?
I wish to point out few additional info, for best reply:
I wish to avoid purchasing Appleā€™s devices;
I am not interested in Google sync or placing my Outlook data on the Internet. They must sync locally between the PC and the smartphone;
Preferably I wish to use Android OS as I like it quite a lot and it has a lot of apps;
Windows Mobile OS is not so welcomed due to the Metro interface that I dislike a lot and that there are not so many apps as for Android OS.
In the near future I wish to also purchase a tablet and I will have the same problems I have now.
Thank you for your suggestions.
Spiro
