Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here has used "The Missing Sync" by Mark Space on their Android Phone, and if so how do you find it?
in particular I'm interested to know if your contacts notes will sync properly. (Default HTC Sync cuts off after 1024 characters, truncating what goes to the phone, and then on subsequential syncs puts it back into Outlook, thus deleting the end parts of long Notes in the contacts list).
I was hoping that maybe The Missing Sync would fix this?
Cheers
Adza
1024 Characters
Hello,
The Mark/Space engineering and development teams are aware of this issue, and are looking at whether the issue is, in any way, related to hardware or device-specific constraints.
Currently, there does appear to be a limit with regard to the number of characters (as you've noted). The Missing Sync software _does_ sync the entire note, but the device cuts-off the text (except in edit mode).
Hope that helps.

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your reply. I'm currently looking for a solution to this, but looks like there's not one available at this point in time. (Short of moving to another O/S).
Thanks for your reply.
Adam.
The Missing Sync: update
Hello, our testing shows that while the device may not properly or fully display all the info, the data is unaffected, and remains intact and complete, even following a subsequent sync (back to the computer, from the device).
In fact, if you open a 'contact' in EDIT mode, you'll see all the notes/data.
Bottom line: To simplify, the 'preview' mode available on the device limits the display, but the integrity of the data is unaffected.
Make sense?

Stay away from it.
If it costs $20, then IMO it's acceptable.
But it costs $40, which is absurd considering the instabilities and lack of functionalities.
Granted, some of the problems are because of the underlying Google codes/apps. Maybe they'll correct them in future, but maybe not, who knows.
Give it a trial before giving them your credit card number.
Doesn't appear as though they offer a trial version.
I also haven't been able to find anything about a guarantee.
I've been reading up as I would purchase this if I knew it was going to do the job for me without problems, but a number of users have reported having issues and not being able to get a refund.
With the reviews I've seen, plus the fact I can't try or get a refund - I'm not keen on parting with the amount they're asking for at this point in time.
See if it works without entering a code... Doubtful through...
http://www.markspace.com/downloads.html
Again, given their track record (user ratings) (http://www.cyrket.com/search?market=android&account=Mark/Space,+Inc.) It's better to stay away from it, for now.
And do check our their forums...
http://forums.markspace.com/viewforum.php?f=34
Going off of their looong tradition of helping phones sync with macs, I tried out Missing Sync, hoping for the solution to my syncing woes.
It's... okay. As a piece of software that is multi-platform, it's understandable that you won't see some of the polish that comes with apps made specifically with Android in mind. If you've ever used BitPim before, think of Missing Sync as the lite, user-friendly version of BitPim.
My main gripe is that it prefers to use it's own tools/organization rather than the standard ones on Android. This is especially true with Notes & Calendar, which require separate apps made by the developer (I didn't try these out). Since google already owns my life (and I use SMS Backup+ to archive SMS in gmail), I found that I had more syncs turned off than on.
That was ok for me though, because the main reason I tried it was for iTunes syncing. I've tried to love doubleTwist, but it's just too slow & buggy. While Missing Sync's iTunes syncing was faster overall, it still didn't offer the syncing experience that I desired. In the end, it just wasn't worth the overhead.
While Missing Sync software can be absolutely wonderful for locked down, non-smartphones, in this day of "the cloud", it's syncing model is starting to show it's age. I'd recommend a different solution.

Here's a company, that releases a product last year full of bugs. They get a ton of feedback on their internal support forum as to the problems. Initially, they try to work with the users, and are fairly responsive and acknowledge many of the problems.
Over the next 6 months, they relase version after version in an effort to squelch some of the turmoil on their forum, which meanwhile grows louder and louder.
Then, late this month, they release what they refer to as Rev 2 which is supposed to be a stable product. Only problem is that it is not a stable product - after just one day of casual use, it deleted 2 of my 3 email accounts!
Meanwhile, to sell more product and hush their users, they shut down their support forum, and now moderate the posts. What a scam!
So I post this here in an effort to warn as many as I can about making the same mistake I had made when I sent them my hard earned money expecting a working product...
I didn't like the product from day 1!! I used the latest version and still sucks. The built in PIM is good enough for me.

I've used both their products "Pocket Informant" & "Flexmail" from latest releases to the Betas. From my personal experience and preference, I've always installed Flexmail, tried it out to see if the bugs were fixed, then uninstalled it again at the end. Pocket Informant really never gave me any problems and its definately a great program if you have to manage your tasks daily or have many appointments and schedules to keep up with. If you dont then the normal default PIM will do for basice scheduling.

That's one of my reasons for posting my experience.
I read a couple of positive reviews of FlexMail, and based on those purchased the product without doing a thorough evaluation myself, only to find the software very unstable, and a plethora of unhappy customers...
flexmail is just a piece of junk. Installed and uninstalled for more than 10 times. Nowdays I finally give it up completely.
Discarding the source code and writing from the scratch is the only way to make this program USABLE.
Anyone knows how is Profimail in comparison to Flexmail?
http://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=profimail
I would like to be able to read HTML mails on my WM2003SE
So, i decided to give flexmail a 4th try and still... do not like it!
i moved 3 emails to a different folder, opened that folder and it crashed!
Also i tried to send an email with multiple pictures attached, sent it. and guess what. none of the pictures were actually attached!
I need an email app that allows you to easily attach multiple pictures. With the built in one its a pain in the ass!

I thought QMail was extinct/not supported anymore?
I agree...it's junk
The author of this post is completely right. FlexMail is junk. Yes, the UI is beautiful, features are abound, and configuration is extremely flexible. Everything about it seems great...until you use it.
It crashes regularly, or hangs for more than a minute. Worse yet, it DELETES your accounts every time you restart your device. How this product ever made it to the public with such an enormous fault is almost unfathomable. Who wants to setup their accounts every time they use the program?
It seems to work for some people, but trust me - it's not worth the risk and frustration if you're one of the many people that it doesn't work for. Keep away.
Hmm....I haven't had such problems with the smartphone version on my 3125.
I've been using it for a long time and it seems to work great! Sure it takes a bit to load up, but it's not all that bad.
I took the liberty of installing the latest Flexmail (again lol) on my HTC P4350 (wm5) several days ago. So far so good. I also have the profimail installed as well. Although the flexmail's UI is very nice, Profimail loads quick (for me). For some reason, Profimail struggles to download my gmail, whereas Flexmail downloads my gmail with no problems.
I use Flexmail on my WM5 HTC P4000 and it works very well with my IMAP mail. I get actual push emails to my phone.
I m also using Flexmail 2007 3.1 build 1834 for about 3 days now and I thought it very good.
It certainly still has some bugs like my account settings that misteriously get modified: SOCKS proxy enabled, outgoing server deleted... but so far it really much much better than pocket outlook. at least I can:
- Have push with gmail (using IMAP IDLE)
- Have HTML mails with picture without the need to click twice on "load pictures"/display pictures
- be able to get a large chuck of each email (ie like 50ko or even the whole mail if I want)
- a lot of conf settings
the only way to get push email with PO is with a hotmail account and windows live. I ve tried this solution first (with auto forward from gmail to hotmail) but:
- impossible to load more than 30000 characters (actually the amount of text i get in each email is much lower.. and really too low.. never was able to get more). so I always ends up requesting the emails (one by one) to be downloaded completely and this is really annoying I can't just sync once and then read whatever email i get
- really annoying to have to click twice on that bar to get the pictures and more over it means you need to mark the mail to be downloaded, so you don't have the pictures from first sync
the pros for PO is that it is integrated to the OS and as such HTC home will display the number of unread mails. -> you can't do this with flexmail for now.
voila voila

This is the complaint (with details of the problems I encountered) I just sent to Flexmail
Version recently tested: Flexmail 2007 Build 1864
Device: Fujitsu-Siemens N560 (original WM5)
I have tried numerous builds of Flexmail 2007 and have yet to find one that works reliably. A trend that I notice which in the two most recent build is that upon installation to device (not to SD card), Flexmail will create files under the SD-MMCCard folder (with more subfolders and files) regardless of whether I have my SD card in my device (in which case there should be no SD-MMCCard folder to begin with). This causes the issue that upon inserting my SD card, my SD card will be recognised as SD-MMCCard2 and causes problems with ALL the links referring to programs and files normally associated with the SD-MMCCard folder.
In a separate attempt to fix this problem, I tried to install Flexmail to my SD Card so that the files and folder installed to SD-MMCCard will not conflict with my SD card. This helps for a very short period, but would eventually cause the same problem and sometimes corrupting my SD card data.
I hard reset my device and tried to install Flexmail on multiple occasions with different builds, but the problem still persits.
The directry path it creates regardless of whether my SD Card is in or not is:
SD-MMCCard\Program Files\WebIS\Mail\Data
The files created are:
Settings.ini
Settings.ini.bak
WebISMail.log
{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.vol
On the brief initial occasion when Flexmail worked, it is an excellent program. However, this critical problem affecting the functioning of my entire device has prevented me from purchasing your program. Hopefully WebIS will sort this out soon.

If they iron out all these bugs, then it's a respectable email program. Otherwise i'm left to check my mail via web browsers
Here is the response WebIS gave me
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Well that is unfortunately a design defect in Windows Mobile, that it renames the card when you reinsert it. There is really nothing we can do about that.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

Hi Guys
well, I looked at Dashwire and thought that it looked great in particular, the ability to upload to facebook. Sadly though, I can't find the ability to do this, any ideas how? If not, know any apps that will instead of Dashwire?
Cheers!
Our support of facebook uploading is found on your online dashboard. Just expand the photo, click "share", then select the web tab, and then select upload to facebook. Make sure pop-up blocker is off.
If you're talking about uploading from the mobile phone itself, we don't support that yet, but we will definitely in a future mobile client update. Its an extremely important feature for us.
Hope this helps! I hope you have checked out our 2.0 client we released today.

Dashwire thoughts
I even became a fan of you guys on Facebook!
After using it for a couple of days, there are a few things I would love to see in a later release:
(I also posted this in the 'wishlist' discussion on Facebook)
*Calendar sync
*email sync
*MMS sync
*Import Bookmarks from PC browser
*Edit synced bookmarks within Dashwire
*Upload photos from PC (to use as Profile Photo)
*Delete and/or close unused Dashboard modules
*BUG: photo sync should automatically find pictures stored in folders other than 'my pictures' (it also doesn't sync photos stored in sub-directories within My Pictures folder)
Another thing I've found somewhat annoying (but not enough to discontinue using the application--yet) is that--although I know it has to run in the background in order to remain in sync with the server--whenever it begins to sync, it automatically maximizes the application, so rather than just running in the background, it pops up on the screen. I think it may be interfering with my notifications and it definitely impacts the performance of my device. Ideally, it could sync without activating the application and remain silent in the background.
I got rid of it. Took FOREVER to sync even after the first time. (I expected a long sync the first go 'round). Even then, it didnt fully sync.
I gave it a shot...didnt like it.
over it
I really wanted this to work!
I just uninstalled it though bc my device froze whenever I received a text. Also, now that it's removed, I see how dramatically the application impacts the performance of my device.
Overall, it's a great concept. I will definitely use it when the sync feature is improved and the performance issues have been addressed.
Used it for a few weeks but it used up too much memory! And as stated before, the actual syncing took forever & a decade! Again, a good concept but needs to be "lighter" so to speak
Appreciate the feedback. First, I responded to the features wishlist post on our facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=13542793986&topic=5478
Second, the long sync times recently have been caused by an increase in our new user traffic. We made a push for more users with our Mobile Client 2.0 release (engadget and lifehacker picked us up, among others) and our sync times have been slow. This should return to normal shortly.
And finally, the memory and battery depletion problems are definitely known issues. We are going to deploy new features soon that decrease the memory and battery drains that Dashwire can sometimes bring. It's at the top of our priority list.
With any major issues (like content not fully syncing), be sure to email our support ([email protected]).
Again thanks for the feedback. Our last release was fueled by users suggestions and requests. Keep posted on the new functionality of Dashwire here: http://blog.dashwire.com/

THANKS!!! I really appreciate the responsiveness! I'm totally excited about this product and I definitely will re-install the newer version on my phone. Have you been able to replicate any of the performance issues I described? The problem occurs particularly noticeably when I receive SMS's. Maybe it would be less of an issue if you allow SMS to sync on a schedule as opposed to using 'push'?

Yep try the new version. Can't really diagnois your text messaging problem without knowing more about your phone. Try to update and if its still not working email our support ([email protected]) with the problem. Scheduled sync is something we're looking into. Users ask for that feature a lot. Hopefully coming soon...
My friend hates his Sprint Touch Pro and blames me 4 selling him on HTC.
If anyone can offer any help or fixes, I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's the low down on my HTC Touch Prop Experience thus far and why I will
sell this turd on ebay...
Cant type first and last name into messaging "to" field (once you hit the
space bar for the last name it selects the first 'josh' in your phone book,
etc.)
Cant search by company name in the address list (I need to look up account
in my phone all the time by company name)
Some names do not appear in contact list search at all but I know they are
there and can get to them manually
Cant search first and last name in contact list (must type one or the other)
GPS won't automatically drive to calendar appointment when the address is in
the appointment or give the option to drive to the appointment
GPS won't give you the option to drive to an address in your address book
GPS freezes up and stops navigating when you turn off the screen (to save
the battery). Won't start again until you close the app and restart.
Several times the phone has frozen up and the touch screen would not
respond...cant get into messages, can't get into contact list.
Auto backup fails every night (third party app but the best one on the
market)
every day the phone freezes up in my contact list...multiple times every
single day. I have over 1700 contacts....I have reset my phone at least 5
times already today.
using three fully charged new batteries a day...I am on my third battery
today as of 5pm and yes I bought three freaking batteries
T9 text input randomly turns itself on and I have to manually turn it back
to ABC input
Facebook and twitter apps suck to the point of being unusable (Facebook app
is the brand new one from Microsoft's upcoming windows mobile 6.5 OS)

Wow, i hate lists, but here i'll try to help with some limited knowledge from a touch pro owner since october (my first real smart phone)
use arrow keys left/right to select next person in list when starting to type name
cant help you there, i look up by person's name. There may be alternative software out there for a different address book connected to the main one? SPB mobile shell might have something. Found it! you can do it by going to contacts - then in the menu view-by and select company
maybe those numbers are listed on your sim card and not on your phone book, in the options there should be an option to show both address books
shesh you're picky again, Name one example where you actually need to type both to find the person you want! (i can't think of one example)
Wow, you really think windows thought of everything didn't you? GPS can't do squat without GPS software
This is most likely due to a problem with your firmware - update your ROM and see what happens
Update your ROM - i suggest a nice EnergyROM 2.0 or 1.3 - it is pretty damn stable and bug free - most of your issues from here out sound like things that can be fixed by wiping your phone and installing a better rom than the junk tossed together by the service provider
Why does it fail? What is the backup software? PIMbackup is a pretty solid one, and why do you need to backup nightly? I sync my contacts and calendar with google sync. Thats the only vital data i don't want to loose that changes daily (except for tasks, still waiting for google sync to add tasks)
Again - update your rom! Imagine a car torn apart by a kid in his first year at auto school, and then trying to put it together in a month. That is what the hack jobs who work as rom chefs for service providers do to these phones when they add in their junk bloatware. (Also HTC provided an update with new features, most providers now have released revised versions with their bloatware added of course, but they still work better than the original firmware that comes on the phone)
Battery life depends on use. How often do you have it check for email? My battery lasted only half a day when i told it to check every 5 minutes. Then i realized i really don't care about checking email (and nobody important emails me that often) so i set it to 4 hours - battery life went up drastically. Also turning down brightness, and turning off wifi will save a LOT of battery life. I get a sold day and a half out of my phone now. (with pretty decent amount of use)
Can be another issue with the firmware you're running. There is an app called Advanced Config Editor, I think there is a setting to disable T9
Sigh, indeed, applications are still a work in progress, before the iPhone, there was very little competition for slick applications, but consumers will prevail in the end. For now - its all about keeping up to date with your favorite phone blogs to find out about the latest software available
In all honesty, the TP and other windows mobile phones are not for everyone. They work great if you know what you want to do with them but if you expect to just pick up a phone and go, buy a freeken iPhone and enjoy your watered down smart phone for braindead people. (Hey, i bought my mom one for christmas, she's all happy that she changed the ringtone for me.... despite the fact her past 5 phones could also do that in less than 5 buttons......)
HTC makes a wonderful selection of mobile devices, I have always been pleased with their products.

Know nothing about the Sprint GPS nav app (I assume that's what he's using?) but Garmin Mobile does this, and I suspect most other GPS nav apps do as well.
As far as crashes and battery usage go, the only fix is to flash a different ROM without all the provider bloatware. Sounds like most of his gripes are related to Sprint's implementation of the device, not about HTC or the device itself. In any case, he'll probably never be happy with it - tell him to get an iPhone where he can blithely ignore all the missing features and lack of flexibility.
I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this.
But, the "buy" button seems to be missing from the app marketplace within Zune software
I can still purchase videos and musics from it. But not apps.
I can still buy apps from the phone directly, but not being able to use Zune software to browse through the market is rather annoying.
Any solutions?
Am I the only person with this problem right now?
Are they just doing some maintenance and will it come back soon?
[Solved]
It just came back.
I saw this as well and I think it's just a maintenance thing. Because the phone marketplace is acting wonky too.

I've been having this issue for months. It's a pain because I want to get my apps from Zune so I can quickly reinstall if need be. Don't know a cause.
did you resize the screen? if its in a small size window , the buy button wont be showing , try resizing to a larger screen and it will re appear!
Missing 'Buy' button is a programming error...
... as far as I am concerned. There are far too many folks using netbooks and sub-notebooks that do not use a 'something' by 640 or 'something' by 800 as a minimum display size. The Toshiba NB series computers use for their own display a 1024 x 600. Odd size, but very functional for those folks that prefer something smaller and lighter in their briefcases. It is handy that most can attach an external display of more common size to get around this issue.
I and my crew are just such people. I do not limit my folks from modifying their equipment or adding what they like. In fact, all of our sub-notebooks have been upgraded to the 500Gb hybrid drives and W7 Ultimate with Enterprise Office. They work GREAT!! (a little Tony The Tiger imitation there)
So, any time we find a program that fails to function on our screens, it's obviously a failure on the part of the programmers to consider the true variety of users they are serving. Saddly, most 'commercial' programmers today think of only larger drives, more power, and more speed. 'Elegant' code is a thing of the past I fear.
My only hope is that whoever it was that wrote the 'buy' button has the wherewithall to realize the error of their way and either unlock its position so it can float as needed, or go ahead and let the screen overflow and give us a slider so we can make the choice to look further down the page if need be. You don't really have to jam everything into one screen, even though from time to time that can be nice. Figure it out, programmer. It's your job.
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been noticed yet so I'm gonna make this post. Let me know if others had similar experiences.
Anyways, I just noticed today after getting the Google Now update that GN has set a location into work, despite me not explicitly putting one in. I'm guessing this has something to do with the location reporting functionality. It probably noticed that I was in a certain location over X (which I'm guessing is 4) hours and determined that it was my work address since it wasn't my home address (which I think GN auto determined based on where I usually sleep). I think it might've done this before since it once set an internship location as my work location even though I didn't put it in. That internship lasted 4 hours once a week and my current schedule has me working for 5 hours a day 2 days a week, hence how I got my 4 hour estimate above. Anyone else notice something like this happening and any way to turn this helpful feature off, other than to disable location reporting. My schedule changes quarter to quarter and I'm pretty sure it might put one of my classes as a "work" location if I'm in that spot long enough.

Today, Google and Facebook (primarily Google) knows more about you than your own parents or spouse and that's frightening. If not today then tomorrow.

I understand that they have this data and I don't care for that too much. What I don't get us why it automatically set that location as work when it might not have been. Would be nice if they asked like "we notice you spend a lot of time at X. Would you like to set this as home/work" or something like that.

yes that would be nice :laugh: guess they like to determine it for themselves based on their records. No harm in asking them, how they conclude things like that. Nexus is one of their brain child, so it may be the key to that conclusion.

In fact, I strongly believe that all Google (or anyone) services should be Opt-In instead of current Opt-out (as I understand)
For example, when you attach primary Gmail account to your phone everything under Sync (Contact, Calendar, AppData, Pictures, etc) get selected. Instead Google should just present a list of the things that I want to select (Opt-In) like it does when you add another Gmail account to your device.
