WMDC + VISTA + Universal Mobile 6 Problems!

I'm using Thinkpad T60 Vista.
Yesterday, All the sudden both of them didn't want to sync anymore. I have to delete partnership and setup a new partnership.
TODAY, after synchronizing, all my contacts and calendars, tasks disappeared.
When I tried to sync back to my laptop, a dialog box popped upasking me to make a new partnership.
Any clue why this happens? It's so scary on so weird.
Is it the WMDC or the Vista or Mobile 6 Jwright version? I don't really have any clue at the moment.
Thanks

Ok I am able to narrow the problem better now.
Whenever I leave my Dopod 900 synced connected with my laptop and when there is a phone call coming in then I proceed to unplug the usb to pick up the phone, This may result in some sort of data corruption in syncing status, I think. Because after that, when I try to re-synhronize the dopod 900 again, it would try to synchronize from ground 0, so it will delete every synchronized data such as contacts, tasks, calendar in my Dopod 900 and re-transfer from desktop computer into this device all over again.
This is very scary and unacceptable. Could anybody else replicate this problem?
Thanks

Bad bad bad!! I'm using final version of Vista, Final version Office 2007, and Dopod 900 Windows Mobile 6 Jwright.
if you open outlook 2007 and then write your contact and then in notes just write something.., after you finished synchronizing, the contact was successfully copied onto the Dopod 900, but the the note didn't get copied!
If you write the notes within the contacts under Dopod 900, and then synchronizing it, the note within contact would be copied back onto computer with no problem. so it's only the other way around the problem

Same problem
I am having the same problem. Exactly. Did you manage to find a solution or workaround, excepet being force to only change notes on the PDA? This is so annoying and absurd.

I am now getting the following bizarre message: "Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again."

I was able to fix it by going to Settings > Connections and
Opening the "USB to PC" dialog window and taking out the check of "Enable advanced network functionality"

Do u know how i can flash Uni on Vista? I tried do it, but i crashed a bootloder and i don't know how i can fix it. After a turn on, i see just a bootscreen nothig more. I can't do a hard reset, because it come back to bootscreen.
BTW: I know my English is weak, but don't laugh from me, please

Check the Wiki:

And if that fails:

Everything now is OK.

I had the 'Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again' error message. Finally cured it by deleting duplicates in calendar and duplicates in notes, deleting the partnership on the device and on PC, since then everything is syncing fine.

Hi Kushmir
I am getting the same error message as you'
Can you kindly tell me the steps how you managed to cure it?
What do you mean by deleting duplicates?
Thanks

Active Sync Rant - Any ideas

Hi,
Earlier this week I re-installed my PC during its yearly service. It all well trouble free and I was able to sync my T-Mobile MDA Compact 3 quite happily without losing any Outlook entires etc.
As part of this process I also upgraded from Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2007. A few days into the new install I also decided (this was a BIG mistake) to upgrade from ActiveSync 4.2 to 4.5.
It seemed to work fine to begin with and around about the same time I also re-installed Jeyo Mobile Extender which I had forgotton to put on initially.
The following day ActiveSync started to play up. My MDA would happily connect to it but it would not Sync. I could explore the MDA and also install programs to it so there was no problem with the USB connection.
I have since then-
- Hard Reset the MDA
- Re-installed ActiveSync both 4.2 and 4.5
- Uninstalled Jeyo Mobile Extender
- Re-installed Outlook 2002
- deleted ActiveSync partnerships
- Connected my cradle to a different USB port
I have during the above managed to get it to Sync once or twice but it eventually has gone back to the state of being connected but not syncing.
The only thing that ActiveSync trouble shooter has highlighted is that it seems to think that I have a version of Outlook which is too old to work with ActiveSync. It did this with both Outlook 2002 and 2007. I am assuming this is where the problem lies but despite searches on the Internet I can find no solution.
I have posted on a thread in the XDA Mini sub forum where someone else is having the same problems but I thought I would create my own thread and put it in the general forum to see if any of the XDA massive have any solutions.
I intend to do another re-install of my PC and a hard reset of the MDA later tonight and try and go back to Outlook 2007 and ActiveSync 4.2 to see if that cures the problems.
Regards

So is it an mda or pc issue?
I have in the past used a tool called "autopatcher" (free) to update xp on my laptop worked great, media player 11, outlook 2007, windows defender...

Hi,
I am not sure to be honest.
However, I think it is more likely to be a PC issue as I have hard reset the MDA and it has not fixed it. Also the main change was moving from AS 4.2 to 4.5 which coupled with what appear to be a number of other people who seem to experience the same problem.
I am about to start the re-install now, so will report back later with an update.
Regards

Problem with syncing (but not exploring?!!)

Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Trion running WM6 (standard O2 release), and Windows XP with Outlook 2003 and ActiveSync 4.5.
Rom Version: 3.54.206.1
ROM date: 06/25/07
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
I've been synching my data for months now without any issue, but something just stopped working today?
When I plug it in via USB I get an error message saying that 'Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Please reconnect and try again, etc.'.
I can explore the contents of my device, but not synchronize, and a third party app will even synch, but nothing from Outlook, and quite a lot of the options in ActiveSync are greyed out (though I can still explore via ActiveSync).
When I look at the ActiveSync application on my phone, it looks as if it's never been set up to Sync, and tells me that I need to install ActiveSync on my PC.
I have done a repair install of Activesync 4.5, I've rebooted the PC, I've switched the phone off and on again (fully). Nothing changes. I have (as advised) reconnected several times.
I've not knowingly done anything to either of them in the last few days, which was when it last worked.
I couldn't find anything on the forum on this topic, but if you can refer me to previous issues like this then I'll go have a look.
Thanks,
Joe

fixed!
Hi,
I just wanted to say that I deleted the sync partnership on the PC and created a new one, and it worked after that!
There was an initial problem where it refused to sync again, but since a soft reset it's all been going fine.
I'll keep an eye on it still as I'm a little suspicious, and I don't know what caused the problem!

Active Sync error code 8018001

well it seems that i have run into a HUGE problem. whenever i try to sync my ppc with my pc active sync says "Synchronization could not be completed. Try again later. Support Code:80180001"
when i try to sync it later, it still gets the same message. i've searched google and xda-devs, along with some other sites, but found no answer. if someone can help me i'd appreciate it very much.

try the following in the follow order, with a sync attempt in between each one
soft reset
uninstall/reinstall activesync
hard reset

thanks fzzyrn, the only thing that worked was the hard reset though, but thanks for the advice all the same.

Facing problem sync with my outlook..
Exchange ActiveSync has encountered an error. Support code:80180001

Error 80180001 Syncs Notes but nothing else
My BA (Qtek 9090) can connect via activesync but will only sync "Notes" and "Favorites" but nothing else.
I can also "Explore" the device when connected and transfer files without problems.
I tried changing all the obvious, tried soft reset, hard reset and reinstallation of OS (WM 6.5). Nothing helps.
Win XP Pro, ActiveSync 4.5, WM 6.5

Active Sync error code 8018001 FIX
I'm also getting the same error, I installed Swampy395 WIN Mobile Pro 6.5 Beta 1 and everything seems to work well, except for this issue. At ETEN a Vietnamese forum: QUOTE(stevenlamhkhk @ May 16 2008, 03:39 PM) New ROM FOR X500 V07 - PhamQuang
http://www.pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=25963 at this thread said they solved the issue by removing the ETEN GPRS wizard. Unfortunatly I don't know how to do that. Is there a Blue Angel cooking wizard that can do this for us? It seems to be happening to several of us. Thanks for any help on the issue.

Hi,
same error with Toshiba G810, WM6.5, AS4.5 & WXP SP3...
With an older 6.5 ROM, I hadn't problems at all.
Of course, I doesn't have any ETEN GPRS Wizard, only Autoconfig utility to configure GPRS.
Thanks!

FIXED
Not sure if this will work for others, maybe it will stop some people from hard resetting.
I was getting this error and had already tried
Soft Reset
Reinstall Active Sync
Hard Reset
However the problem was still there. So I started thinking about my machines changes, and the 1 thing that maybe important, is that I upgraded from outlook 2003 to outlook 2007. So the last thing I did to get my phone syncing again, was
Uninstalled Active Sync
Uninstalled Outlook 2007
Rebooted
Installed Outlook 2003
Rebooted
Installed Active Sync
Rebooted
Synced Phone, every thing worked perfectly.
Hope this helps someone. Added it here as its number 1 on google for 'activesync support code 800100'

Touch Pro & WMDC

I have been working around the WMDC version 6.1.6965 for x64. I could connect my Touch Pro and even browes the folders & files but I could not setup a partnership (i.e. sync with Outlook)!
I am running Vista Ultimate x64 and Office 2007 including Outlook. Everytime I connect and try to setup the connection an error triggers "There is a problem with your connection. Please disconnect and reconnect your device and try again"!
I tried every possible solution but non worked. Searched the forum for a stright-forward answer but with no progress.
Any help?

I've got the same setup you have except I'm running Office 2003. Are you syncing using bt or the usb cable? I generally have much better luck using the usb cable. Also, if you've already fixed this, does it now work with Office 2007?

I think this could fix
I was having the same problem and I downloaded the WMDC from the microsoft web site and it is solved. wish you all luck

Mine works no problem....same exact set up....been running it since the Mogul...acts uo every now and then....make sure you delete all the partnerships and re-connect....

same problem
I'm having the same problem and I have tried everything. I have uninstalled wmdc restarted, cleared reg keys, and reinstalled. Still the same problem. It started when I flashed ROM's, but after I flashed back to the OEM ROM it still is happening. Any ideas?

i had the same issue as you and fixed it.
delete the connection from the PC, and delete the connection from the ppc.
so that both have no synced computers/ppc
ok, how i uninstalled wmdc..
uninstall both the driver, and the program from the pc using the remove programs..
then go into windows/windows mobile
and delete as much as you can from the windows mobile folder
(you wont be able to delete all of it)
then rename the directory.
i just renamed Windows mobile to trash
then i got on the net and re-installed wmdc
but mine had nothing to do with the ppc or wmdc.
it had to do with..... HTC album 2.5
when installed on the ppc, it would not allow any outlook data to sync.
once i uninstalled it from the ppc all was fine.
try that.
you will be surprised on what programs interfere with different things.
but before you uninstall this and that, check to see what version of HTC album your running.
if 2.5.... try uninstalling it and seeing.
when i uninstalled it, i didnt even reset my ppc and it worked.
PS it took me 3 days and numerous Hard resets to figure this one out.
hope it helps.

".make sure you delete all the partnerships and re-connect...."
how to delete the partnerships in WMDC (in PC not the PPC)? i already search it in all the control panel and the WMDC itself. (in PC)

PS:
