calendar notes sync

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...

Duplicates EVERYTHING

Hi All
My universal and outlook seen to have duplicated everything at least twice.
I have searched the threads and come to the conclusion it is another M$ error, but can anyone please recommend a util (preferably free) to search through outlook or the phone and remove the duplicates?
Thanking you in anticipation
Lee

Unless I'm missing something here, wouldn't it be just as easy to go into Outlook on your desktop and remove the duplicates?? Then, sync the phone again??

and in case it's not duplicated there set activesync to "make my device to match outlook" mode

Hi
Quick replies
Yes it would be easy, but there are hundreds of entries.
And unfortunately the dupes are on both outlook and my universal
Still searching google for a solution

I've had this problem also, my contacts are duplicated 3 timesa and it's hard to delete it. still looking for a solution.

i had that problem before. and i know where it came from. i had yahoo go installed and i had goosync both syncing with outlook. all that syncing messed everything up.

Here is a solution - let the phone sync, and make sure that it's properly synced (not kidding). Then get a tool Anti-Dupe from w*w.anti-dupe.com
It's a desktop tool for removing duplicate entries (TODO, calendar, contacts, memo). Well it's for free, so don't expect too much. It just does it's job.
P.S.: Make sure you let it remove the duplicates one by one (ie first Contacts, then Tasks) and not everything at once. After it's done, the phone will sync and voila
Works for me almost every week (I sync 3 devices with Outlook - WM, PALM, Samsung).

A HUGE thank you

Does it work for you then?

Can sync OTA with a 6.0 rom - but not the 6.1 rom - error 8503001c

It does not work for me when I try to sync to an exchange server with a 6.1 rom. With a 6.0 rom I can always sync with both the Outlook on the PC and the exchange server. But when I upgrade, I can only sync with the Outlook on the PC - sync with the exchange server fails to work. It fails when I try OTA, and it fails when I try with USB. I have tried 3 different 6.1 rom for kaiser, and also tried on a 6.1 rom ELF I have - with the same result. But when I go back to a 6.0 rom - everything works again. I have tried setting up the phone manually - to make sure it is identical with the 6.0 rom - but still no luck. I can sync with mails, calendar etc on the Outlook on the pc, but when I change it to sync with the server - it wont.
Does anyone have a solution?

Is there not at single person that can help me with my problem??
I really want to upgrade to 6.1 rom - but can't, since I have to be able to sync with the exchange server for work reasons.....

Mine just works. Sorry I wish I could help but I wanted to let you know mine has worked on every rom I have tried. Sleuth right now.

I wish I could say the same....
And you did nothing different when setting up the phone with the 6.1 rom compaired to the 6.0 rom? Have you noticed any differences in the settings?

How do you upgrade to 6.1 currently?

verify that the exchange server is 2007 SP1 or 2007 RTM with rollup 3

I am using the exchange server at the company where I work - and dont have much knowledge of that - but I am pretty sure they still rund 2003 exchange server. Do you need to have exchange cerver 2007 for using 6.1 rom?.

Are there not anybody that have a solution to my problem? Or do I really have to stay with a 6.0 rom?

I think you need to hard reset again
00s of people use OTA with Exchange with 6.1 without any problems
Odds are it is something you did wrong or a bad flash.
Re-flash, hard reset, try to re-load your radio, rinse, lather repeat

Nobody has a solution because nobody else is having this problem. I just upgraded to 6.1 yesterday and have no issue with OTA sync with our exchange server (2007 w/SP1).
What error are you getting when you try to sync? There is a lot of troubleshooting that can be done, but it may be difficult for you to do so without help of the Exchange server admin. If you're actually hitting the Exchange server, there are various logs that can be accessed, but for starters, we'd need more info on what exactly the problem is other than 'I cant sync'. I assume you're getting some sort of 0x00000000 type error?

Exchange 03
""My First Post""
I flashed with Duttys 6.1 a couple of days ago and am in Tennessee using At&t and used the 1.64.06.04 radio. I'm the Network Admin at my company and use Exchange 03 and everything works great for pushing email, calendar, etc. Basically im just saying that 07 isn't required. Perhaps you should try a different radio? Just throwing in my two cents worth as this is my first Phone ROM flash I've done since my MPX200.

As long as he has data connectivity, it's likely not the radio. He just hasn't given us enough info to go on. One thing you might check is to try with both SSL enabled and disabled but I only bring that up because someone here recently upgraded their phone and forgot about that checkbox, but of course they were getting a specific error that helped me to solve the problem.

Error code
The errror code I get is:
8503001c
I thought I had already written that - but my mistake. I have googled, and I have not found one solution that could help in my case. Often it is an errorcode you get related to Vista - and I am running XP.

Read some of this. From what I've read here and elsewhere, it seems to me like that error is caused by some sort of corruption in the data that's trying to sync. Try to sync just mail, if that works, add tasks, etc until you encounter the error. See here for more info:
http://forums.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2769442&SiteID=65

Cool - thanks for the different advices. I will try during the weekend to reflash - and check for some corrupted files. Hopefully it will work out at the end.

Same problem here HTC TYTNII
After upgrading to a WM 6.1 rom no sync with the Exchange-server
Error 8503001c.
Trying to downgrade to WM6.0 rom at the moment.
If anybody find a real solution please let me know

I tried a whole weekend - and finally I managed to be able to syncronize my mails with the exchange server. I dont know why it suddently accepted the mails - and I left it there, and i settled for that.
I normally also syncronized contacts, calendar and tasks with the server with my WM6.0.
I tested for corrupted files - found nothing. Even when I deleted all the contacts in the contact folder, it still would not syncronize with the exchange server.
I did not go any further with the issue - since apparently I was the only one. So please let me know if you find any logical explanation - because I would prefer being able to syncronize with the Server instead - expecially for my calender.

And what has changed??

Please can you tell me what has changed?? Do you still use a Rom with WM6.1??
I just returned to a 6.0 Rom and Atcive Sync works like a train. No problems at all. So can somebody figure out what is happening here??
Is it a WM6.1 and Exchangeserver 2003 issue?? There must be more companies using still the Exchange 2003 ?? (Maybe we even stll have it running on a Win 2000 server )

ActiveSync Problems

I'm pretty sure a few other people have had this happen, but searching these forums didn't turn anything up.
Basically, I just flashed to the latest EnergyROM and I am trying to connect my Fuze to my computer so that I can sync together my calendar, contacts, etc. etc.
The problem is that I always get this error message when first attempting to setup a partnership:
"There is no email program assocaited with this action. Please install an email program or, if one is installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
I've went into the default programs window and saw that Outlook 2010 isn't listed on there. I've restarted my PC a number of times, and to no avail.
Heres what I'm using:
HTC Fuze- Latest NRG ROM (Dec. 17)
Windows 7 x64
I have Outlook 2010 and I also tried with Outlook 2007
A few months ago, I tried this and it didn't work then.
I'm wondering if anyone has found anything regarding this? I searched google but nothing works! Any help will be appreciated.

Anyone have any solutions?

I'm watching this, too. If you don't acknowledge the error, the device won't sync.
Windows 7 ultimate

Mmph, can't post an external link. But if you search on your favorite search engine for "top drop help mapi" the FAQ page on wieser-software.com seems to have some steps to help. They didn't work for me but they seem to be on the right track... maybe someone else can figure out the missing step?

No resolution yet. Still hunting for it

Migrate Contacts/calendar from HTC Wizard to HTC Touch Diamond 2

I'm new, and this has probably been covered, but I can't find it. Does anyone know a way to migrate the contacts and calendar from my old HTC (Cingular 8125) to my new HTC Touch Diamond 2?

You can sync through exchange server or through software such as My Phone.

That, or you can use PPCPimBackup to write everything from your old phone to a single file, and then import that on your Topaz. It's just a matter of what you prefer, really. But I can really recommend PPCPimBackup, as it allows you to do much more.

Problem with PIM backups are that it can hose up your manila if you flash from an older build.

Syncing the Touch Diamond 2 with Groupwise
I'm 57 and used to be considered a tech whiz. You guys make me feel like a septic tank pumper. (No slight intended to the Honey Dippers. It's an honest and necessary profession.) I've been reading XDA about 1/2 hour now and am flabbergasted by the expertise and savvy I see in this forum. Some of the old coots who worry about our next generation should read here a while
I have moved (with some help from XDA) from an HTC (cingular 8125) Wizard into an HTC Touch Diamond 2 I bought unlocked from Hong Kong. My latest problem is syncing with Groupwise at work. I was doing this on the wizard by using Groupwise PDA connect to translate from Microsoft Active Sync. I downloaded the latest Active Sync and installed it. It installed, and I can see the device, but I get an error, with support code 85010014. When I try to run PDA Connect it says it can't connect and asks me to be sure Active Sync is running. I am constrained by our I.T. department to using Groupwise.
Has anyone encountered this and found a fix for it? Remember, I'm old. You might have to spell it out a little.
Thanks a lot!!

First, I am not familiar with Groupwise, however go to Settings\USB to PC and see if "Select faster data sync" is checked, if so uncheck it and see if that resolves your issue. (It usually would be checked though)
Please clarify, you can connect through active sync (meaning you can access your device and see your files, programs, etc), but not Groupwise?
Also, searching on that error code in google produced many results, you may try a search and read, it seems the error is possibly related to your .pst in Outlook.

Syncing the Touch Diamond 2 with Groupwise
Hi, Bruce.
Thanks for trying to help me. Yes, Active Sync does connect and says it is connected. It just has the yellow exclamation mark indicating a problem and gives me that error message. Active sync only works with Outlook, so it can't get my contacts and calendar out of Novell Groupwise (our email program, Novell equivalent of Outlook.) With my old phone I used a Novel Groupwise patch called Groupwise PDA Connect. Basically it translated the Groupwise contacts and calendar into something ActiveSync compatible. PDA connect is no longer supported by Novell so I can't get help from them. I was hoping someone on XDA has gone through this already.
I will try changing that setting you suggested.
Also, Bruce, is there any kind of user manual for the XDA website? When I log back in, I don't know how to find my thread back. Basically, I am saving a bookmark every time before I log off.

Not sure about manual for XDA, but Quick Links are very useful.
I just save the Topaz Forum as one of my home pages, but you can subscribe to any thread and access it through your Quick Links at the top/right.
You may have to maintain 2 separate DBs, for example, set up gmail as your exchange server and then duplicate everything from Novell over to gmail.
I know its a PITA. I have to do this as we are on Lotus Notes (POS) and I have found no option to sync.
Sorry.
