Hi,
My phone is set to sync with my work exchange server, but as a policy, after 10 mins my phone locks with a pin. When I go to unlock it, i enter my pin and it unlocks, however the contacts screen opens and i see a list of all contacts.
I am using sheps rom with winmo 6.5
Is there anyway to fix this via cab or reg edit so it goes to manila home instead of contacts?
Also, do i need to have enterprise data plan to connect to my company exchange or can i go back to my normal unlimited data plan and save 10 bucks a month?
Thanks
Chris

Hi, I've been having issues with syncing/receiving e-mail with windows mobile live. For some reason, i can't set it the sync frequency to "as items arrive" or any other increment. No matter how many times i set it, it keeps going back to manual. So the only way i can get my e-mail is if i press "send/receive" (which doesnt always get my e-mail)
And as a side note, is there any way to get msn/hotmail e-mail with the regular inbox program? I have 2 msn accounts and 1 hotmail account that i need to check on a regular basis. Unfortunately, when using windows live, we can only check one at a time
i upgraded to black diamond 3.5 on the spv m3100, its got windows live and i cant sync either
it tries to sync "synchronising folder list" but the green status bar stays on around 5% and doesnt even move.
please help both of us lol
in my messaging options, under windows live I have my hotmail account.
now can I set this up to check for mail ever 5 mins or so, and then when there is new mail, give me a new message tonè whilst the phone is in standby, like a sms?
cheers.
If you have Windows Mobile 6, your mail should be push from Hotmail. Mine is.

under your Live messenger option in your ppc there is option on how often you wan to check for new Email.
Since I remember there is also a option which says "as arrives". That means emeddiatly after the mail arrives in your Hotmail account the mail will be pushed to your mobile device.
I confirm this option and really after few seconds the mail arrives, it will be also received on the hand device
Anyhow this option cost a lot battery power. therefore I set it every 15-30min.
ive found that option, set it to 15mins, sent myself a mail, waited an hour nothing?
still have to manualy send/recieve
in the options for sync, it says manual, I change it to every 15 mins etc go done and done to exit it, as soon as I go bck to check it, it has reverted back to manual again?
how do I make the 15 min option stick?

Did you try to fine-tune the push mail heartbeat rate to decrease this - or, force the handheld to operate in GPRS mode instead of 3G?

fine-tune, no idea what that is?

So i take it i need to be in 3G for it to work?
i go to windows live,
>menu
>options
>3 sync schedule
>sync frequency
then change the drop down from manual to every 15 minutes
>Done
>Done
Then when going back into it again it says manual, ive just done all this with 3g switched on?

Yes, Exactly same thing happens to mine 'Hermes' with WM6.
But i get my e-mail as they arrive. I really wanted to to do the 'PUSH' only with in spcefied time frame! Which did not work for me for Hotmail account.
So i built this little program to assist me to do timed syncs(Check under my signature for rk-OSR
will have a try, cheers
Hello,
I have a HTC Touch 3G which an emplyee needs to use as a pda only. So, he won't be using it as a phone. The pda synchronizes mail and calender items by air (MS Exchange direct push). Does anybody know how I can disable the phone function. Or how I can delete/hide the text Phone in the display in the menu bar at the bottom left on the display.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum
Removing the sim card
or go to comm manager and disable the phone function
good answer! no sim card, no phone apart from emergency calls which is useful!
and the battery will last for 4-5 days easy

Thanks for your reply. I cannot remove the sim card because the phone needs to synchronize email and calender items using microsoft exchange direct push. The phone is only used as a pda which synchronizes these items over the air. The user may not make phonecalls with it.

then the second option!!!!!
or third or fourth!!!
I turnedthe phone off in Comm manager,
However, the text Phone is still displayed iin the left corner at the bottom of the main screen, or home screen however you call it. When I click it it says "the phone is switched off, would you like to turn it on?". So the user is still able to use it.
If that is the case, then ask your operator to place a barr on outgoing calls (not including data of course). You could do this on your phone but is easily reversable.
Doesn't help the OP but i know this is very easy to do on a BlackBerry attached to an Enterprise Server. A policy can be sent which disables the phone function but leaves everything else running.
Hey all,
I have been searching and looking everywhere to find a way to set my send/receive schedule at a lesser interval than the standard 5 minutes.. I am wondering if anyone knows the reg keys or a way I can edit the registry to allow it to send and receive every minute or so?
Thankyou for any help.

Outlook has an option through active sync schedule to set item as they arrive.
I have tried using active sync for my email.. When I set it up the only way the email works is if I connect it to my pc via the cable. I don't receive any emails and if I try send one it just stays in the outbox until I plug it into the computer and sync it.
Maybe I am doing something wrong or missing something?
Exchange is the best way to do push email (which is essentially email under 5min intervals). Its available to regular (non-corporate) joes by buying a hosted exchange pkg from a provider. I use 4smartphone and love it but there are lots of others. About $10/mo and you get full fledged Exchange 2008 w web access too. Nothing better than baking your MSEX acct info into your rom, and after a hard reset ALL your contacts, sched, tasks AND email download automatically back into your phone in minutes. love it. You can also wipe it remotely if its ever stolen. I think the intervals for pop are somehow hard-coded into the program, not stored in the reg, but I could be wrong. I've looked for them.
Also, if you have less than an unlimited data plan, then push is more efficient then all the traffic of checking 1440 times a day...
hello, many times i cannot synchronize the mob with hotmail account. when i tap send/receive, although mob tries to syncronize my mails, it cant... why is that?
does it work sometimes or never?
What message does it give when sync fails?
there may be many possible problems so it is important to start eliminating possible causes.
without more info its hard to say but some possible reasons could be:
incorrect setup info (username or password or imap/pop setting)
phone not automatically connecting to data service when trying to send/receive, so check you have internet before trying to receive
your carrier maybe blocking mail port, test over wifi?
