Hey guys,
during syncing I get the following message on a non-existent item (it neither exists in outlook nor on the mobile device, i have a xda orbit 2/polaris):
----------------------
The following appointments failed to synchronize from the device:
1. Subject: ...
Time: 31.12.1999 00:00
Duration: 1440 minutes
support code: 1
----------------------
I remember that I had such an item and I deleted it some time ago. But the error still remains.
Is there a possibility to display deleted entries or maybe are there some hidden entries that are not visible in the calendar view on the phone?
Does anyone got this error solved?

Got it solved.
The problem was probably due to the synchronization with Microsoft Outlook and also with another computer running Lotus' mnotes software.
There were some special items that were only visible in the "All Calendars" view in Lotus Notes but neither on the phone nor in Outlook. After I had deleted all items (in Notes) and synced again it works now.

I am having this same problem but I don't use lotus notes.
I am still trying to figure out how to delete the "ghost" appointment.
I have the same problem, but I don't use lotus...
Can anyone help me to find a fix for this?
Before, I only have 4 problems, I fixed it by recreating the 4 contacts info... but now there are more than 100 after I format my PC.
I also do not use lotus.
Anyone manage to solve this?
Same problem no solution
I have the same problem for this ghost appointments. I have tired seeing all appointments in outlook. I have one appointment which I deleted but without success. I ahve tried other solutions but also no success. these solutions included changing the time in the pocket PC. Installing other ROMs did not solve the problem also.
Problem Solved
I ve solved this problem on my Touch Pro
I used SKtools to check my recurrent appointments. Then it has shown the ghost appointment which where previously not seen in microsoft outlook. I deleted the unwanted appiontments. The synchronized and the notification is gone.
I hope this is helpful for other people
Thanks
You're Right
This is been annoying me since I got my new Touch Pro a few weeks ago. All appointments synced fine except for 1 invisible appointment that would leave the WMDC icon with an error every time.
SKTools did the trick, search for recurring appointments and see if the bad one is listed there, open it up and delete all occurrences.
Thanks!
It worked!
You are my hero! I've been trying to solve this problem for some time with the ghost, non-existant appointment invisible on both the PC and the Phone. This worked! SKTools was rather confusing to navigate, but it worked, and that's the important thing. Thank you for posting this!

I am having the same problem with my HTC TP2. I took your advice and downloaded SKTools but I can't figure out how to navigate through it to find and delete my phantom appt. Could you please elaborate on what you did?
Thanks!

COOL! It drive me crazy!
Now ghost appointments are gone. SKTools did good job.
Thanks a lot!
SKTools is the best! Removed my ghost recurring appointments!
Same Problem
I've got a touch pro(fuze). I've tried using SKTools but I haven't been able to locate the ghost appointment. Perhaps I'm just not using it correctly. For those who fixed the problem could you post exactly how you found the ghost appointment?
Installed SKtools on an HTC TP2 for my problem, ghost appointment in phone and error after sync.
SKtools>>Category>>PIM>>Recurring Appt....opens with a top pane list of recurring appts, this should match the list you have on your pc. Mine did not, it had two ghost appts that should've been deleted. Highlight the problem then choose "Action" to obtain a menu to delete it.
The category "PIM" will open first next time you use SKtools. Standard category was initially the one that was set to open on my install. Probably can pick whatever cat you want to open as default.
Finally!
Wow, I really feel stupid now. I was using SKTools correctly, using the same method you described. But since I'm using the Demo version it only shows 6 items at a time in any category view.....so I deleted a few unimportant appts and there it was. Thanks for the help wakemaker, you reaffirmed the method and forced me to try it one more time. I can finally see that little check instead of the x on active sync, good times.
I'm using demo as well.
I, too, was having this problem with my Tilt2.
(WinXP + Office2007)
I solved it by:
1) performing a normal Sync using the Microsoft MyPhone app.
2) login into myphone.microsoft.com and open the Calendar
3) change the view from "Month" or "Day" to "List."
4) I found and removed the offending entries that activesync flagged
5) used the MyPhone app. to sync the changes made on the website back to my phone
6) after the MyPhone sync completed, I then plugged in the USB cable and performed a normal ActiveSync.
7) problem solved.

hi,
i hope you understand what i mean.
my 750v doesnt show the typical popup message for reminding me on calendar items oder tasks.
how comes?
I'm having the same problem as well. I suspect it's one of the SPB software I have installed but not sure which one. Maybe I'll try uninstall Shell & Diary to see if either one is causing the problem.
What about you? Do you have SPB Shell and/or Diary installed?
i have diary installed and i need it.
Similar issue, no SPB software
I had a similar issue, and found that it was related to duplicate items on the notifications queue. There is a program floating around called "checknotifications" (search google) that'll tell you if that's your problem.

I've thought about that too. Unfortunately even deleting all the duplicate entries, I was still unable to solve the problem. I will try to uninstall SPB Diary & test for a few days to see.
didnt help
I'll take the risk... you did set the 'Display Message on Screen' option in Sounds and Notifications, for Reminders... right?
I hard reset my treo now the reminders are ok. Could be memmaid registry cleaner causing the issue. It gave me problems with Voice Command as well. So far stayed away from memmaid & sktools, or any registry hacking software seems to be alright.
no solution until now?
I had that issue and installed Today Agenda. It is free and is a kick ass program and works great. Never had that issue again.
you first had the problem and after installing it it was gone? or after hardresetting and installing it?
I experienced a similar problem.
reason was the file associations of .mid, which a media program changed.
Result was that my device did not wake up anymore to show messages and play the sound. Even vibration did not work any more.
Yes it sounds strange, but for me this was definitivly the reason because I can reproduce this error, when connecting .mid again with this program.
I had to "de-associate" the .mid and notifications and everthing worked again.
hope this helps
Hello everybody !
I have a strange issue on my touch pro. I have réinstalled a backup made before a hard reset and now in the mail tab (TF3D) I get a ghost mailbox. I can see the mails when I swap them but if I try to open one, nothing appends, same thing if I try a "send/receive".
If I use the "More" button it shows the mailboxes list instead of the inbox folder corresponding.
The mailbox doesn't appears in the "account" menu that's why I haven't succeded in deleting it.
Apparently there is nothing about this mailbox in my register nor in the phone files (I've made a plain text search) so I suspect manila to have made a rendered graphical mailbox for showing in the tab. I'm not sure about it but that's how it looks like to me.
Any confirmation about how manila deals with those animated cards ?
Maybe a file in a manila config folder to erase? But what folder ?
This is not a major issue but it's very annoying to have this fake box glued in my list.
Thanks in advance for your help !

If your still having problems PM me you email address and i'll send you a program that might help. I dont have a link, and im on my TP with only a GPRS signal so it will take me an age to find, but i have the program on my SD card.
Great ! I will try rightnow this solution ! Thank you so much !
Not worked
I made a new backup before erasing the cemail.vol. All worked fine until I reinstalled the backup, after what the ghost mailbox reappeared !
When creating the backup I can't specify which mailbox to backup, so how can I do (I use SPB backup)? I have imap mail accounts so I yet know a solution : to backup only my sms/mms without the mail and resynchronise my boxes with the server.
But we can also try to find a solution that works for pop accounts users too.
So anyone knows a way to edit this cemail.vol ?
My AT&T Fuze display broke the other day. I managed to use MyMobiler to access the phone and back up (using Sprite Backup), and restore the backup on the new phone. The restore worked great, however, I now have a e-mail account on my e-mail tab that I cannot access to remove. If I go to my accounts, the account is not listed, so I cannot delete it. I also cannot access the inbox of the account.
Does anyone know how to remove this phantom account. It is a file or registry setting?
Thanks!

There is always a "phantom" one there, it is for outlook.
P.S. Good job with the my mobiler, you obviously searched unlike most noobs.
Welcome to XDA
You can get rid of it on your tf3d by connecting to you're computer via active sync, and unchecking the email box for what to sync.
I may not have explained this properly.
I am not referring to the Outlook default mail account.
On my old Fuze, I had an account setup to get my GMail. This worked great. When I backed up and restored on my new Fuze, this GMail account was still listed on the Mail tab, but I am unable to open the mailbox and this account is no longer listed under my mail accounts.
Any suggestions?
I've got the same issue. My 1st fuze got swapped out for a power issue it had. Did a full backup and restore with Sprite. The restore did NOT setup my alternate IMAP gmail accounts I had configured on the 1st one ... but I have the ghosts of them in TF3D tab. I can see all the accounts, and even flick through the email that was on the original unit at the time of the backup.
I've setup the accounts manually again, but now I have duplicate account appearances on the TF3D screen.
I tried reinstalling the Manila cab.
Tried removing, rebooting and re-adding the Email tab with Diamond TF3D config too. No effect.
Can't find any specific references in the registry for the email tab.
I posted a thread here too last week. Got one hit on it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457987
You need to delete cemail.vol. The file is locked while the phone is on, so you'll need to use Mortscript to delete it on boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429784&highlight=cemail.vol+mortscript
Perfect!
Thanks for the point in the right direction!
I'm shocked that everyone is going through such effort to solve this problem when there's a program on the Sprite back up site that fixes the issue.
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/a...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
Though the article states it will delete all data, it didn't on my device. I was able to see my ghost IMAP account that would show up on the TF3D tab, but not in the messaging app itself.
I also use an AT&T Fuze
uh. . . maybe because no one Knew about it?
Thanks for the Link.
I have the same exact issue.. except I am using Sbp Backup ... but I think I'll try deleting the cemail.vol
I was also having a problem with 2 phantom email accounts in TF2D email tab after a backup - they were not shown in the accounts menu.
I used SKTools (Full Version) to scan all PIM information (actual heading 'Delete PIM information') which showed all accounts - highlight the phantom account/s, and then select 'delete account' from the action button.
All fixed - thanks all for the push in the right direction.
I am having the same phantom gmail account from a sprite backup on the fuze after getting rid of att bloat. I wish there was an easier way.
There is an easier way
Unzip the attached file to your device and run it. It will enumerate all accounts, even the hidden ones. You can choose to delete them or change settings. Whatever you need.
Hope this helps!
not working for me
Not sure what I am missing, but I see no option for deleting an account, only Repair, from the Feb 3 09 mailAccountRepair attachment. When the "busy circle" starts after selecting Repair, it does not finish (at least in 30 sec). Whether I Quit or not before soft reset, no changes are present. Any help appreciated.
HTC Touch Pro (Sprint), ROM 1.03, Nov 2008
Yes, please help. I have my work outlook (activesync) account that I want on there. I have to other email accounts (ie pop) that I want to delete and I can find no way to do it. HTC Touch Pro.
Thanks!
I had the same issue you're having, after exchanging my first Fuze out due to a problematic screen. When I restored the backup on to my new Fuze, I had the same ghost accounts. What I simply did was a hard reset, then when I ran Sprite I deselected the box that restores backed up emails. The restore went without a hitch, then I went into outlook and simply recreated my email accounts. After a couple minutes, I had all the email back.
Easiest way? Prolly not, but it worked for me.

Hi all,
I have searched for this application for a long time and tried whole bunch of them, but I am still looking for SOLID, SIMPLE, and STRAIGHTFORWARD application to save Call log entries into Outlook Journal.
My setup:
Windows 7 32-bit
Outlook 2007 SP2
HD2 with latest T-Mo ROM and Cookie Home Tab installed.
Applications I tried:
Maniac's SmartJournal - so far the best solution and worked flawlessly on the XP. Since I switched to Windows 7 it shows that the SmartJournal reads from the device, the notification disappears and nothing happens. Maniac's website is down, so I cannot find out what is going on.
Pocket Informant Outlook Extension - since it is now free as Informant stopped supporting Windows Mobile, I tried it, it seems that it works and does some synchronizing according to the log, but no entry shows up the Journal.
Jeyo Outlook Extension - they used to support Outlook Journal in their version for Symbian, but in their Windows Mobile they only synchronize SMS.
MobiTNT - I tried that software as well, but I am not able to enable the software on the computer.
I know that there is also some app for syncing call log into calendar but it seems way too akward.
I know that there are many threads about this all over the Xda, but they seem to be old for one and do not end up with comprehensive solution afterall.
I would like to this post to become comprehensive and one stop solution for somebody who is looking for the solution like me.
Any ideas are welcome.
Nobody? Really? Really?
I Feel your pain
I used to use Calls to Journal from Chapura with my windows handheld. Strangely it is now discontinued.
It was slick, and perfect. Dumped all calls to Outlook journal and tagged the outlook contacts (so that they showed up in activites). Was perfect in my business when someone denied that you called them.
I can't find anything that compares. Not even close. The other ones like "missing sync" try to do too much and do not include this very simple functionality.
Have you had any luck?
Well, I finally managed to make the Maniac's Smartjournal work and it works great. It transfers the calls into Journal and tags for the known Contacts so it shows in Activities.
If you would like to try it, I have the .exe files since the website is no longer active. The files are really small and the program is no memory hog by any means. I tried Jeyo and it just crashes Outlook.
Let me know.
Another one
I wish i could be more helpful but there is one applicatoin which i have used in the past but have since forgotten the name whichvery simply adds an appointment into outlook which lasts for the duration of the call, with the title of whoever the conversation was with.
this might be the one i was thinking of. I'm gonna check it now.

post the files please & details you have on them & any special instructions on getting it working.
One of the biggest mistakes MS made was not having WM & its PC software linking together with complete harmony & user control.
Really are a clueless bunch at redmond HQ ...
I am attaching the rar file. There are two files. One is SmartJournal.exe and the other is SmartJournal Beta.exe Try first the SmartJournal.exe run as admin and compatibility with XP SP2. Sometimes it shows the error that the CallLog.csv cannot be dumped. If that is the case, uninstall the SmartJournal and install the Beta (again as administrator and compatibility mode XP SP2). Maniac had a great forum unfortunatelly that website is no longer active.
Let me know if you have any trouble.
Take 2
I just realised my previous post was totally useless since I never included the link. I've been using Call Calendar for the past few days which works really well, recording the time, duration, who the call was with and who called who silently into outlook, which will then obviously sync over activesync or exchange. you can get it here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-calendar.html
then again while searching for that link i found this program, Phonelog- it's newer and seems to have additional features like recording incoming SMS. I think you can customise what is recorded too, it might be worth a shot:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-phonelog.html
I've never used Outlook journal, so I don't know how much functionality you lose as a result of these being purely appointments. Hope it oculd be useful though.
Thanks for the post and link. I prefere not to use the calendar for syncing, because than the entries eat up the screen when I view my calendar appointments. Also, I always felt siunce the Journal has a Phone log category it is more obvious to use it rather than calendar. Also, I make LOT of calls on given days and then my calendar looks like mess between the actual appointments and the phone call. Also, I checked the review section on freeware.com and lot of people complain about the SMS not working (which would be the only feature why I would consider this software). But great addition to the post and thanks for the links.

You can try MobileArchiver (mobilearchiving.com) - for me works perfectly and puts all call history in journal every sync.

If the call history is full, I mean 300 items, there is a great chance that the PC app tries to read the calllogdump.csv on the pda while it is already accessed by the pda (it is written) and therefore paralell reading fails.
Solution: backup call log, and after that, delete some 50-100 entries manually. Sync works then nicely...

Another possible solution is to run Smartjournal.exe on pc, it copies the dump exe to Device\Temp, and runs, and this creates the csv. Navigate to this folder (My Device\Temp) and make the csv read only.
Running the pc side returns an error on the PDA, but the log will be read and data transferred.
Now remove read only from csv, move to pc, leave only the last entry, delete all the rest, save, move back to PDA.
Run pc side, all should be good now. You will have a lastsync.txt created in the PC folder of Smartsync. Sync finished.
Update:

Latest software build info attached. No roms or root etc.
Completely stock except for Nova launcher.
I have approx 980 contacts on phone, google only has 928 on contacts.google.com for account#1
Issue.
Contacts will not sync, last successful sync was in May.
Troubleshooting, various steps
Rebooted many times.
Toggled sync on and off.
Left off for weeks.
Exported contacts from primary account#1, imported to second account#2 on device that had handful of contacts and synced successfully. Now fully imported account#2 doesn't sync. Toggle on off. Nothing hung.
Seems there is a corrupted contact causing this, I've tried the Google forums but they suggested to remove account and readd.. Except that will lose all my contacts on the device and there's no way I know to check the export file for consistency. So I can't risk losing a bunch of contacts.
Not sure what to do other than manually verify which of the 980 contacts aren't synced and add them online...
Sync on PC then will work on phone

Sorry can you explain what you mean? I normally use a Mac but can find a windows pc if needed. Are you saying use Samsung desktop app to sync? Sorry.. Confused.
On a PC or Mac go to google.com and in upper right corner of the page you have Google apps. Search for contacts .

I've been to contacts.google.com it tells me I have less contacts than on my phone.. Not sure what you're suggesting.
I added a contact on contacts.google.com and it synced downward btw. I also added one on my phone and it's synced up. But there's still a difference in number of contacts. Weird.
Download "contacts sync fix" in the play store. I had the same issue and it worked for me. Make sure you export the contacts as a backup in case something goes wrong.
contacts sync fix by Nikolay R might help
I have the same issue since over one year on one phone.
First easy solution to check, your free space. Yes, I am serious. Below 450MB of free disk space on my FLASH, Android completely refuses to sync. Typically, my email application was saying me "network error"; remove a few pictures, and "network works again". If you have multiple sync issues, this is the first thing to check.
If only contacts refuse to sync, I am also facing this. And in my case, "contacts sync fix" did not help. I did not have time to dig the issue, but in short, I suspect two things:
- the picture may be the root cause
- the Note field may be too long for some contacts
... a part of an error message may comeout in logcat, with the name of the contact causing the error. Note that if only a few contacts trigger an error, all other contacts will be sync; and inside a problematic contact, some fields will be sync.
IE: if contact C triggers the problem, and I add a phone number on one side, then, the new phone number will be propagated, even if the picture, or NOTES are not.
It's critical for me, because I have vital things in NOTES, but, most of the contact details are sync fine.
For me, ATM, I have 6 contacts out of 550 which come out in logcat.
I did not had time yet to dig; things I will try are:
- remove picture on both sides (computer and phone)
- remove any french special char from NOTES, because I could face an ISO-UTF conversion issue.
What I know for sure is that all 6 errors happen on contact I use very often, for people close to me, who have pictures and notes (no I did not attribute a picture to all my 550 contacts; and don't need to write note about everyone I know; only people I see most often have these fields populated)
After 4h of digging ... logcat gave me the number of the contact that were not sync (sort of; it gave me contact ID that I converted into names using sqlite). For those contacts, I have removed all fields except name and picture, and now, my sync is fine.
The problem is not a french letter or UTF; the solution was to REMOVE all fields, so that if there used to be an edition conflict, the conflict is solved by "remove".
After re-creating contacts, I have found that for a given contact number, it may be impossible to propagate the name between Android 4 and Android 7 (through Gmail). If I change the name, then the number, and sync everything, only the number is propagated. When number is edited on a phone, the name shown by gmail is the name shown in the last phone that edited the number. IE, a contact may change name only by changing the number. If number 123456 has name Ab on android 4, and Ac on android 7, the name can be switched on Gmail, by editing the number on one phone or an other. Edition conflicts on numbers are solved by using the last change; but conflicts on names are never solved.
If then I edit name on Gmail, both phones are unable to use the new name. Android 7 is not better than 4.
This issue will not produce any error in logcat.
