Hi!
I´m new user of MDA, there´s something making me crazy...
Sometimes my Contacts are killed by MDA. I havt to activate the Program "Sim Manager" and restore all Contacts to my Adressbook.
New contacts, I haven´t stored @ Simcard, are eleminated.
Has anyone a idea about this?
Thanx!
if your pc outlook dont have any contacts and sync is set to update your device to match your pc then it deletes all your contacts
Hello Rudegar,
thanks, but that is not the Problem, my Contact Sync (Activesync) is disabled.

Hi.
I have all my emails on my XDA in Activesync inbox but my computer died and i lost them all off my PC. Is it possible for the XDA to send the emails back to the computer? Ive tried it a couple of times and it just deletes them all from my XDA! (Thank god for backups!!).
I really don't want to lose all 526 emails :-(.
Any suggestions?
Graham
I join this call!
I work with pcc 2002.
1. Recently I tried to synchronize wiht Outlook 2000. I checked the 'inbox', so the inbox, sent items, drafts,... should be synchronized, but only the inbox synched. After that I put the mails in 'sent items' in a new folder in the pc and instructed active sync to synchronize with that new folder, but it didn't work either. I created a new folder with mails from the inbox and that did synhronize. After that I instructed active sync not to synhronize with the inbox and the new folders and deleted the mails on the xda in order to clean up. After instructing act.sync. to synchronize the inbox again to see if the 'sent box' would be synched, all the inbox-mails were deleted of course (I had the backup!), but the sent items were again not synchronized.
2. Also some attachments could not be synchronized and there is no way of knowing of which mails.
3. Isn't there a way to have the mails, contacts and appointments stored on the SD-Card to save main memory?
4. Isn't it possible to have a folder synchronising files on the sd-card with files on somewhere on the harddisk of the pc?
5. Is there a good manual somewhere about safe synchronizing and troubleshooting it?
I would be very gratefull to get some answers to these questions

Hi,
I'm about to upgrade to the latest ROM, and I think I need to save my contact list before I do it - is that right?
However, in activesync, there is no check-box to tick next to contacts, so it can't synchronize them for me. I use outlook express, so I thought it should be simple enough. What's wrong?
Is there any other simple way of retaining my contacts during an upgrade, because I'm not really fussed about having them on outlook.
Thanks for any help,
Phil
without being sure then i think that use need to use outlook and not outlook express to have contacts
outlook 2k came free on the cd of both my xda1 and 2
Outlook 2002 is hacking me off
Aaargh - please help!!!
After Rudegar's suggestion to use Outlook 2002 rather than Outlook express, I fished out the CD that came with my XDA II and installed Outlook 2002 and activesync onto a new PC.
Activesync connects OK and tries to sync my contacts as I wanted it to, but Outlook is messing about, and the contacts end up unresolved. When I try to do anything to do with contacts in Outlook, it says "Could not open the Item - try again". Even simply manually creating a new one.
So I thought I'd set up an email account - perhaps I need one to have contacts, but the help file says to go to "Tools" and "Email accounts", but there isn't an "Email accounts" option on the tools menu!
Outlook is really hacking me off now - all i want to do is to have somewhere to store my contacts whilst I do a ROM upgrade - this is CRAZY!!
PLEASE help - this is doing my nut!
Phil

did you set up your mail account in the inbox of your device ?
if you click the account menu and choose new account you should begin setting up your account
about the resolve conflicting then under options in activesync there are a place where you set up rules as to how activesync handle conflicts
also people seem to be reporting issues with usb'ing their xda devices with
windows 9X (ME) series os
I'm not sure I understand - I don't actually use pocket outlook on the device. I was talking about setting up an account on my laptop so that outlook 2002 would allow me to have a contact list on the laptop which I would then use to store the contacts on whilst I do a rom upgrade on the XDA II....
contacts is pocket outlook along with the calander and tasks and appointments
if you mean that you had issues setting up an account on the outlook on the pc then choose tools
choose services
and add mail
there isn't a services item on my tools menu...

My contacts screen is blank, but my dialer and messaging show them. When I installed Pocket Informant, it can see them.
I've tried manually creating contacts, importing them with dashwire, importing them with outlook sync and also through exchange -- no luck.
Any ideas on how to show my contacts in the "contacts" screen?
Funny that, I have exactly the same problem. I am thinking of changing the default contacts to icontacts or similar. Did you get a solution in the end?
Hello there....
the story goes like that: i have sync my htc p3600 contacts using windows "active sync"...(i haven't outlook installed in my computer)..worked like a charm...
but now that i have the htc hero i can't sync it with "active sync"...i try installing "htc sync" but i don't know how the hell can i import the contacts from "active sync" !!!i also can't find where the contacts have been saved with the "active sync" in my computer!?!?
please any advice..??
i don't have my htc p3600 now ....and i'm a litle screwed...
thanks ...
Active sync, doesnt store info, it will only sync against outlook. Now, outlook have two ways of storing contacts. Either u store ure contacts on your local contacts lists (which will be on your computer), OR on one of your mail providers contacts list. The thing is (im not sure about this), u have to manually set the sync option to store the contacts to a specific mail contact list.
So, either u synced the contacts to your local outlook contacts folder. In that case, ur kinda screewed if u dont have outlook anymore (uninstalled without keepin the contact files etc etc) BUT, if im not wrong, i think the file is called outlook.pst. So if u can locate that file on your computer, reinstall outlook, point to that file, i think u will regain the contacts. As long as u find that .pst file, there are several tools for regaining access if outlook fails.
-Or, u synced with your mail contacts folder. In that case, check the mail provider contacts lists. It will be there, and the export process is quite easy.
Please correct me someone if im wrong.
Thanks for the quick answer...
The problem is that when I synced my contacts with active sync I didn't have Outlook installed in my computer..so I don't know where the active sync saved them...or what kind of file should I search for...
If you have any other questions please fill free to ask.
Hello
I have my Lumia800 for almost two weeks and there's something that scares me.
I had a Nokia N8 and have 1041 contacts in that phone. When I bought Lumia800, with “transfer”, I’ve send all of them to my new phone, and now I have all my phone contacts in Lumia. But, somehow, only 200 contacts are synchronized with my Windows Live account (the one that I use on my mobile). I’ve tried lots of things, even create a new Windows Live account but the problem persists.
I want to be sure that, if something happens to my Luma800, I have all of mine 1041 contacts somewhere.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advanced
Lea
I forgot to explain that When Lumia is clean (with no contacts), no error appear when trying to synchronised hotmail account. After my contacts when put in my Lumia (using Transfer application), it appears “error code 86000108).

Do you use MSFT Outlook? You can sync your N8 contact to Outlook then use the MSFT Outlook Hotmail connector to sync w/ Windows LIVE acct and then to your phone.

I've tried that also, and the problem continues.
Sync them with Google instead, see if that works properly?

Gmail works just fine. Althought I continue to receive that error (Windows Live error 86000108), e-mail and calendar works just fine. I’ve done all the steps recommended by Microsoft Support but my 1041 contacts don’t appear. Just 200.
I even start a new hotmail account to be sure that there wasn’t any hidden e-mails or links. My Lumia was reset three times. When I start the phone with no contacts, that error doesn’t appear when I try to synchronize Windows Live account and my Lumia. Right after the contacts are transfer to the phone, that error starts to appear and only 200 of my 1041 contacts appear on my Windows Live account.
Is there a way to synchronize my contacts with my gmail account?
Are the contacts copied alphabetically?
There might be a problem with the last (or the next one) contact copied. Maybe some foreign character causing an issue?
no, the contacts are not copied alphabetically. And all the names are Portuguese (i'm portuguese)
You will essentially have to go through each contact that was copied, as it is either corrupt or contains information that Windows Live/Phone does not support. More than likely you should start with the last copied contact, if you know what that is, otherwise, you should erase all the contacts you have and start all over again.
I don't know if the transfer program is capable of transferring select contacts rather than just all, but try 10 or 20 contacts at a time. Then sync. If it syncs successfully, then do another group of 10 or 20 until you find the one that is not syncing properly. If you find the one that doesn't sync properly, then don't sync it, and do that one manually.
The transfer program doesn't allow to chose contacts
