DST Problems - General Topics

Hope someone can help me with this. Since my phone has had the DST time change applied all my appointments are reported as an hour earlier on the phone than they are in Google or Outlook. I've searched everywhere, applied the MS DST updates (although I'm using the Ookba 6.5 ROM for my Snap) and nothing helps.
If I put the appointment in at the correct time on the phone it's an hour late in Google or Outlook, if I enter the appointment in Google or Outlook it's an hour early on the phone.
This is pretty frustrating, any ideas out there?
Thanks,
Mark.

Sorted!
Not sure what I did, but restarted the phone, had to change the time zone from Fiji time to NZ time(!!) and the appointments are now in sync.
Hmmm.
Mark.

Activesync only updating 100 appointments

Hi, I need some assistance with an activesync issue. My PIM.VOL file got too large. I deleted it. Archived some of my appointments on my PC and now when I try to re-sync the data, activesync appears to only add 100 of my old appointments with each sync connection. The problem is that I have over 1,500. How do I force a full re-sync of the whole calendar file?
I know this is a pretty 'old' topic..
But I ran into the same issue this week.
Anybody know how to resolve this???
This looks like something similar to what I went through. I was trying to sync my Outlook 2007 Contacts, Appointments, etc., from Windows Vista, to my ATT Tilt and it was only copying (about) 50% of the data to the phone. On a whim I decided to see if my PST needed a repair. So, I ran SCANPST.EXE, it detected and proceeded to fix errors, and all my contacts seem to be on the phone now.
Unfortunately (?) I don't sync with my Outlook, but with Exchange 2007 SP1 directly over wlan...
It syncs exactly 100 appointments, waits for about ten minutes, asks for my login credentials and does another 100. And keeps on doing that until it's finished (I guess), I've not waited/tried till it said 'finished'...

Why not wait until it finishes to see if you're, at least, copying them all over? If not, then it's plan B...
Tried that yesterday.... Started at 7pm and quit at 1am.... At that point it was (maybe) 60% done... That was late enough for me...
The problem seems to be solved now....
Somehow the setup of Exchange entered the fqdn of the server in the internal address for ActiveSync instead of the url my exchange is on...
If it is solved I will post it here within a day...
Later that day....
No issues, popups etc so far.. Also changed the syncing period to 6 months instead of 'All'... Maybe that helped too....
Glad to hear that you're up and running. I know that when I was having the problem, I was pulling what hair I have left, out.

Calendar Not Syncing via Exchange!!!

Have a Kaiser not TILT which out of the box had no issue calendar syncing via Exchange directly along w/ emails and contacts.
I am on the AT&T network as well.
Upgraded ROM to Schap's newest and calendar wouldn't sync
Upgraded to Dutty's Touch WWE as well and calendar wouldn't sync
My radio is the standard from Kaiser 1.27.12.11
ANY AND ALL HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED>>>
PLEASE HELP!!!

Just curious....
Are you syncing directly with Exchange via push-type activesync? Or syncing with your local calendar on your PC with activesync?
I am going direct to Exchange. For my company, I had to add Server Source in Activesync (after adding my company's security certificate), and enter in all the relevant info (server name, secure connection or not, username/password, etc).
Not sure if that sheds any light....good luck.

I am doing it directly to Exchange...we don't use certficates and it works on my hermes with no problem and with custom ROMS...yet once I began using custom ROMS on my Kaiser it stopped syncing ONLY my calendar items...I just deleted the partnership directly on the phone just now and re-added it back, but to no avail...problem still exists...during the initial sync Active Sync on the phone even says syncing 200 calendar items, yet the calendar shows nothing...
HELP!!!!
When you look in activesync on your phone does it give any error code etc? I have heard of issues with corrupt appointments giving off errors when syncing. Any error will stop the sync of that piece of outlook. IE email gets and error email won't sync, but calendar will etc etc...

Unfortunately no error codes at all it as if it works perfectly...yet when looking at your calendar, nothing is there...i am miffed and pissed at the same time therefore miff-pissed
I guess for the sake of narrowing down the issue, you could re-flash the original Kaiser ROM. The link is posted here somewhere.
I don't know what could be going on. I have the Tilt. I have flashed several ROMs (all based on ATT ROM though), and never had any issues.
Best of luck.
i know this sounds strange but did you flash another radio when you flashed the new ROM's?
Reason being, on my Hermes certain Radio's made my Exchange syncing go crazy. Flashing a different radio version solve my problem. Might be worth a try if you havent?
This may sound stupid, but have you verified the date on your phone? Maybe you are accidently 1 year early, so it is syncing your appts but you are looking for them a year from now or whatever. I did this once and it drove me crazy.
Thank you both for your comments/suggestions...the date is correct as I have verified it...as for the radio, I did NOT upgrade the radio from the original that came with the device...even on my hermes I never ever had this type of issue...guess I will try looking at a different radio and seeing if I should flash that..problem is that most people who have the HTC radio .11 say that there is no benefit to upgrading the radio at all. I am beyond miffed!!!
Just upgraded the radio to .17; deleted partnership on the PC and the Kaiser, soft reset device; added partnership back and sync'd...STILL NO CALENDAR!!!! UGGH!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

What operating system are you using? Vista WMDC v6.1 or MS Active Sync v4.5? If you're using Vista you may need to update WMDC to v6.1 and if WinXP you may need to update to Active Sync v4.5. If that is done, please delete and recreate your partnership again...sorry, then under File > Connections menu please select option that says "This computer is connected to" and choose [The Internet]. This is basically part of the process for "How to: Connect to Internet via 2 different proxy settings (1 for GPRS and 1 for Wifi/ActiveSync) and somehow it works for me...maybe as a fluke of luck... Establish a cable connection and sync...takes a bit of time...Please PM me for the documentation if you're interested.
I'm having a similar problem but email won't sync on mine where Calendar does.
I'm using a fresh O2 Stellar (no mods) & Vista WMDC 6.1.6965
Calendar syncs over the air without issue.
My previous O2 mini-s worked flawlessly as do others in my company.
No errors are reported by activesync and it thinks everything is wonderful.
Any tips? It's immensley annoying.
I am using Vista along with the most recent version of WMDC 6.1xxx; i have deleted and recreated the partnerships so many times...no matter what ROM i use it only syncs my contacts and emails...never the calendar..gonna try 1 more time now..I just don't understand this...even w/ my Hermes I never had this issue.
Stranger still...
In my case I can sync everything except appointments created on my device. They just never sync.
Same Problem with user in my company...
I am part of the IT group in my company and 1 of our users are experiencing the same issue.
Good News: Its not your phone. I've tested the users email on multiple phones and receives same result.
Ban News: Still haven't pin pointed the issue
Try running ScanPST.exe on your pc... Maybe something corrupt in your outlook calendar causing the problem.
Calendar appointments created on my device are the only things that won't sync for me. First noticed it when ActiveSync drained my battery in about an hour and a half from attempting and re-attempting to sync to exchange server. I have not installed any new programs, changed any configuration settings, or updated ROM recently to cause this.

Had this problem awhile ago, and switched ROMS and it went away. Back again. ran the scanpst on all psts and ost, deleted partnesrhips and no go. Really annoying.
See this thread as well. I started it awhile ago and it never had a firm resolution.

I have had the same problem on a few ROMs as well as the one I’m on now. One thing to note is I also noticed a contact added to the device would not sync as well. Anyway it's a bad work around but I found something and it will get ALL of your stuff to sync. I found it on another site's forums (sorry cvan remember which one) when I could not find anything about it here other than people mentioning they had the same problem but no solution.
1. Change your Time Zone to a NON-DST time zone (I’ve used GMT-4:30 Caracas) and save the setting.
2. Click ‘Yes” to saving changes to the clock setting.
3. Manually hit Sync in ActiveSync on your device and let it go over your cellular line (sorry haven’t tried it hooked a PC)
4. Once completed change back to your original Time Zone, sync again, and all should be well.
I have to do this EVERY time I add a new appointment to the device directly. I hope this help and I’m REALLY hoping one of you guys can figure this one out and come up with a fix.

Time is always WRONG and there is no DST in Brisbane..

Hi all, I got my Touch Pro few days ago, and one thing that bothers me alot is the time is WRONG!
I've set the timezone on my phone as GMT+10 Brisbane where there is no daylight saving apply. However, as soon as I connect the phone to my computer, it automaticlly +1 Hour, It is now displaying GMT+11 time, even if there is DST, it should be GMT+9 rather than GMT+11. Appointments that sync from PC to WM are all +1 hour too, IE if i keep using the wrong time, I'll still be right with appointments... WTF... eg. Current time is 10 and flight is 12, my phone actually displays as Current time is 11 and flight is 1pm! ROFL.
I've tried to install WMDST2008-1.CAB and update my outlook with Outlook Timezone Move.exe and still no sucess on the issue.
Can any one help?
Go into ActiveSync, Tools | Options.
Highlight your PC sync name, click Settings, then untick to sync date and time

Gmail and tmail.exe slowing winmo

On 5/19/11 I noticed my phone was getting hot and was not responding when I hit the red key to wake it up. I thought I had an application that was causing the problem so after dealing with it for a couple of days I did a hard reset and started rebuilding my phone app by app.
Well, it didn't take long before it started happening again. At this point I had only configured my email accounts, 1 gmail and 2 other. I thought my phone was about to die (it just came off warranty last month). Then I noticed that tmail.exe was running and consuming ~95% cpu. I figured it was something to do with sending and receiving mail so I went to my email accounts and found that my gmail account was stuck at logging on.
I deleted the gmail account and the problem has gone away. This is not an acceptable solution because I get most of my mail through gmail.
My question is this: WTF is google trying to do now that our email accounts lock up our winmo phones and is this happening to any other os's?
John
This started happening to me as well on my Touch Pro 2.
tmail.exe gets stuck at 100% and when I open gmail it appears to be hung at "disconnecting"
The account works fine if I click send/receive manually. This just started happening a few days ago.
Subbing to this thread.
Another person with the same problem:

I suspect most people are not savvy enough to realize the problem is tmail-gmail.
Count me in on this problem too. HTC HD2, WM6.5. First noticed something was up on Friday morning (5/20) when I woke up and my phone was dead. Recharged during the day but the battery was still draining and phone was running hot! Sure enough, tmail.exe running 95% cpu. I've just deleted my gmail account, but this isn't really a solution of course. Prior to that, I tried switching over from imap to pop, both via gmail settings and on the phone, but that didn't stop tmail from jamming up again upon manual send/receive. I'm sorry that I have nothing to add except more confirmation of the problem.
this problem was reported first in duttys rom thread.there is quite some discussion on that matter over there.it could be interesting to work on a solution here instead of in the rom thread.
user ny_limited has done some detective work already.maybe he can come over here.
Same problem on Xperia X1 runnning WM6.5 (826x rom).
T-Mobile forums thread on this issue.
Google Mobile forums thread on this issue.
XDA HD2 thread on this issue.
Just so we're clear, this is a problem with Google. They changed a bit of data within their IMAP processing at or around 1900 on 19 May 2011 EST. This is when the problems began rolling out. Google is the one that needs to fix the problem. It is in no way related to anyone's ROM.
To fix the problem temporarily, you can switch Gmail to use POP3 access instead of IMAP or set it up as an exchange server. The exchange server would consume far less battery than either IMAP or POP. Do a search for the settings. It's pretty simple.
EDIT: Google is aware of the problem and is working to fix it. Check the following thread for updates into the matter.
IMAP access from POutlook is randomly hanging - Windows Mobile 6.5.x
Temp Fix
I saw this in the Google thread and tested it. It works!!
In your mail configuration, go into manual setup and change the server address to POP.GMAIL.COM. Yes, IMAP works on pop address and it connects/disconnects correctly. ;)
EDIT: Google must have made a change because both addresses resolve to the same server. What was once a hard failure every time now seems to work for a while but some are reporting that it still eventually hangs tmail. Let's hope they're rolling out a fix...
Starting over from scratch solves the problem.
Either delete cemail.vol or do a hard reset. Seems that freshly configured Gmail accounts don't cause freezes.
Did this, now my Lion works like a charm again.
Update: deleting, soft resetting and reconfiguring all Gmail accounts also does the job.

I have tried this multiple times since Friday and the Gmail account still locks up after one or two attempts to send/receive.
Yeah, in the meantime i can confirm this. After a few hours tmail began freezing again.
I have this issue too; it's been going on for a while actually, but I have slightly different symptoms; initially it would be stuck at logging on, and I could press send receive to kick start it. At a later point in time, pressing send receive causes it to hang at disconnect. This persists across multiple hard resets, and occurs randomly.
Just this morning I cannot get it to work no matter what I do...
I confirmed tmail.exe eating 100% of the cpu, and there have been more than a few cases of my freshly charged battery near dead only a few hours later, with gmail "logging on".
And to whoever said imap uses more battery than activesync; get the imap pusher service. Uses less battery and you don't have to put up with activesync's crap
Same stuff today, Duttys v25 HD2 RUS. Missed my morning wakeup call, cause of it.
So, as a temporary fix, I created an account at Yahoo! and forwarded all mail from Gmail to it.
Update:
http://www.google.com/support/forum...869ff02960004a41d457a8bf4&hl=en did the trick!

Strange Email sync issue with multiple accouts using Samsung Omnia Win7 phone - HELP

Hi,
this is a strange question and a bizzare event thats occuring but i am hoping someone will be able to clear this up for me.
Basically i have had troubles with battery life on my windows 7 phone, its a samsung omnia on the orange network in the uk. This has ONLY been an issue since i upgraded to the Mango update last wednesday.
What i am finding is that my emails are syncing every 30mins or so despite being set to manual update only. I added 3 email accounts to my phone each via the windows live account addition option, i set them to each manually update only and only sync email not contacts/meetings etc... the mad thing is the main acount that is used under my people contact and the main hotmail/live account that is in use with the phone itself seems to stick at only updating when i tell it to sync (i have to click the refresh style sync button within the email screen) however the other two accounts after about 12hours start to go haywire and whilst they start out by syncing manual as soon as i have synced them manually once, after this they just update whenever they want too (every 30mins it appears)... i have tried a reset of the phone and starting from scratch but again eventually this flaw just keeps occuring! over and over, no matter how many resets i do
Its a real pain to be honest, when i first updated to mango i did link all the accounts together as there is an option to band all your accounts into the single hotmail livetile on the homescreen, i changed this option and decided against it, trouble is i cant remember if this issue happened then, im still pretty sure it did, its almost like the other two accounts have a mind of their own, is there any explanation as to what this could possible be?
I have tried to a rollback of my current firmware but it ended up bricking my phone so now it has gone in for a repair under warrenty to samsung, maybe it could have been a dodgy install of mango from day one? as my friend updated and he has the same phone yet hasnt experienced this email flaw, but then again he only has two accounts on his phone
Could it be the manual option no longer works in mango update?
many thanks for reading and hope someone can help, many thanks
