Hello everyone,
I watched an interesting TV commercial yesterday showing a kind of live synchronisation between a Win7 computer and a Windows Phone 7 phone.
The stunning thing was that all changes performed at the PC came to the phone at once!
Here's the spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXg4sZ8IUXI
Is this also possible under WM 6.5 or 6.5.3?
I have just read through some threads and they told that the programs used are OneNote 2010 Mobile / Desktop version and synchronisation via SkyDrive.
Some users mentioned this would not work under older WM versions since it is not compatible. Can anyone help and provide some more information concerning that issue?
Thanks in advance!
I use GoodSync for that (My Documents), but this isn't exactly what you're looking for.

I have an HP iPaq rx3715 (WM2003), which I used to sync with ActiveSync 3.8. Never any problems.
Nowadays I also have a MDA Vario (WM5), which can only be synced with ActiveSync 4.1, so I installed 4.1. Synching the Vario is no problem.
Now... The problem... I can no longer sync my iPaq.
The iPaq needs ActiveSync 3.8, the MDA Vario needs ActiveSync 4.1.
There is no way to have both versions installed on the same PC. I tried.
I even tried to install the different versions on seperate XP accounts. Didn't work either.
In theory I could install 3.8 on PC1, and install 4.1 on PC2.
The problem with that is that the PST-file is located on PC1, and not on PC2. For security-reasons it is not possible to run a copy of the PST on PC2. (Besides... It wouldn't not be a very handy workaround.)
Now... How can I sync the above two devices on the same PC, with the same PST-file?
Anyone???
AS 4.1 includes 3.8 in it.
When you sync 2003, all icons etc become old type - I do it everyday - sync my universal and sync my Benq p50
No issues.
Well.... My rx3715 won't sync on AS4... But AS4 is needed for the MDA Vario... :|
Anyone else any ideas?
Why do the iPAQ need AS 3.8? Alls WM2003 Devices are working with AS 4 too.
Hello Sjaakman!
Unfortunately, i don't know an alternative way to sync a PPC with a PC, but I can tell you that I've successfully synchronized a rx3715 with a PC running XP SP2 and AS 4.1 many times, infect I even managed to sync a Dell with WM 2002 with the same PC no problem.
I suggest you make sure you have the latest version of AS and that the installation is clean. It is possible that while trying to install the previous version you somehow damaged the current installation which is why it wont sync.
Good luck!
I tried and I tried and I tried.... And I could never get it to work...
I just now tried a clean install of AS... And what do you know... It works :shock: :roll:
Thanks.

Not sure how you got it to work.
I was never able to get my iPAQ h6315 to sync with AS 4.1. After struggling with it a while, I noticed that in fact, Microsoft states the following on the AS 4.1 download page:
- ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
- For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices, please continue using ActiveSync 3.8.
For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices please continue using ActiveSync 3.8

I just wanted to add that I believe this statement means you don't need to upgrade unless you have a WM5 device.
If any one is interested I can tell you from experience that I've successfully synchronized devices with OSs WM2002, WM2003 / SE (including iPaq 6315), WM5 and CE 4.2 (not PPC) with a clean install of AS 4.1 and no tweaking done. So far it appears to be completely backward compatible.
Just for the record: I am not trying to defend MS. But if you have a similar problem to the one mentioned in this thread, you should check the AS installation before breaking your head trying to find another solution. The problem could also be on the device side, and may be solved by hard reset (not pleasant but effective).
Hi Guys,
I know that the i320 isn't an HTC device, but I have sucessfully managed to get blackberry connect up and running on my Wizard and my work is hopefully about to supply me with an i320.
I realise that it's a smartphone and not a PPC, but I believe that there is some interoperablity between the two in WM5.
So my question is, will I be able to use the BB Connect that I use on my Wizard (downloaded from the ftp site) on the i320 or does anyone know of any varients for the smartphone platform?
Cheers!
anyone?
Even a little guidancee would be good! Thanks!
If you find a solution, let us all know
We are talking about this on the S620 aka Dash SP forum as well. We know that a SP client came out for WM 2003 in South Africa on the Vodacom network, but we haven't see one since. Where oh where, if at all, is the WM5 for Smartphone BB Connect client?
Here is the original BB Connect cab file for WM 2003
It would only install on a Moto MPx220 device running WM 2003 and gave a uncertified device error when I tried it on any other device. Any programmers out there want to give it a shot and change the cab file so it does not require a particular device to install on?
This one installs. I couldn't get it to work on my MPx200 w/ 2003.

hi all
well, im delving back into the Smartphone scene once more after my original Tornado device got stolen (i was the original developer of WM6 for it if you all remember along with philip!)
I've purchased my shiny new Blackjack II and its on its way
the only thing that im wondering is,
is there any software out there, free/commercial which will allow me to sync my SMS inbox/email/contacts/calender between both my PocketPC Touch Pro and my WM Standard BJ2
any ideas?
many thanks
Use PPCPimBackup or use Microsoft MyPhone!
many thanks for your reply.
Just to confirm,
Does PPC PimBackup work on a backup made off a windows mobile professional device.
Many thanks
yup, no problem whatsoever. i have used it to sync my pro and std device.

But why would you want WM on a notebook? Windows desktop OS is much more advanced! If Windows Phone 7 Series was installed including multitasking possibilities, it would be great though.
Help!
I have OneNote 2010, Windows 7 and a Touch Pro 2 running WM6.5
I had syncing through WMDC working and then it stopped (I accidentally deleted the OneNote Mobile Notebook). Now I get the 'Attention Required' message.
I have searched online and tried the fixes I have found. I have already tried:
Recreating the notebook
Deleting the cache folder
Reinstalling WMDC
Reinstalling OneNote 2010
Reinstalling Office Mobile
Hard resetting my phone!
It never recreates the OneNote Mobile Notebook and always says 'Attention Required'
Does anybody know if when Office 2010 is uninstalled from the PC, any files are left behind that might be causing this? If so, how can I get rid of them?
Does anybody have any ideas? I really want to be able to use OneNote Mobile 2010.
Hi,
I'm dealing with this issue as well, no solution found yet. I'm struggling with synchronization of my notes with my PC, having originally Office 2003 (where I could open PWI note files in Word) and upgraded to Office 2010 (where OneNote dedicated for Notes cannot open PWI files, nor Word can). Hello MS guys, what's up? Is that all you can do? You develop a fresh new version of software that actually doesn't do what it should do!!!
I want Microsoft to succeed, but they always do this!
Has anyone successfully used OneNote mobile? I get erratic syncing, no option to enter notes via "touchscreen writing". Important things disappear after syncing on regular basis. I had a very consistent method when I used 2003 with the notes and tasks. Upgrades to 2010, and haven't found any improvements with anything, just everything is more complicated and not as reliable. After hundreds of dollars, and hours of frustration...I'm going back to 2003!
Everything Microsoft comes out with these days makes me wonder what they are thinking over there! I no longer have any convincing arguments to promote them as good products when recommending software...
same here
are there any real solutions?
I know it's not a solution really, but after giving Windows Phone 7 a test run...I'm begrudgingly moving to Android. I've been a huge user of windows mobile over the years, but I'm finally jumping ship. Windows Phone 7 is totally sand-boxed and locked down, some people seem to like it...just not for me. I've been trying out other options the last few months since I saw the finished product of Windows Phone...I think after the initial time of getting everything converted over, Android is the way to go.
Temporarily to solve the OneNote things, I went back to using 2003. After I move to Android I will re-install 2010. I know...totally ridiculous, that I need to do this.
