Ok, so I was at school today and typed in some to-do work as tasks. For example Read these pages: blabla. And when I came home the tasks was the re but totally empty?!
I tried adding the notes again but it just doesn't want to save them. I have tried soft resetted the XDA.
Have somebody experienced the same problem and know what to do?
There is a bug in the OS, I think, that doesn't save the note of the task if you don't hold down the OK button for 3 seconds.
That's odd. My friends XDA will save notes, but he can't delete them when he's finished! It says that the file is in use.
I had the problem once. - i.e. not saving new tasks.
I think it was a fault in my pocket outlook database.
I'm not sure, but I think the solution I found was exporting and re-importing the outlook data on the desktop, then re-synchronising over all the databases.

Looks like this is common problem: I am heavy user of Siemens SX56 PPC2002 (a.k.a XDA, a.k.a T-Mobile MDA). In Outlook 2002, Contacts folder in Outlook contains subfolders - to structure big (more than 3000 items) number of contacts. The same story with Inbox and Notes. ActiveSync v.3.7.1 synchronizes only top level of all folders – thus I miss biggest part of the needed data. Ok, I could manage Inbox – manually select every subfolder in ActiveSync settings, but nothing can be done with Contacts and Notes. I do not want to have mess in Contacts by copying all of it in one flat folder.
If somebody aware of the solution – please let me know.
Thats a hard one to do, but take a look at the below programs.

For Notes you might want to take a look at HPC Notes its what I use:

Hi Qman,
BIG thanks for your help. Somehow or other your recommendations help to resolve all my questions.
=Outlook 2002 Add-in: Pocket Contact Synchronizer 1.2
Good but stupid – do not syncs in both ways, simply dumps all your contact folders to one place for sync. What it means is that when you change the contact details in you device (and you’d definitely do it) it would be synced with that ‘dump place’ and would be lost after next dumping... I still look for the soft like HPC Notes but for Contacts...
HPC Notes
Superb, cannot say anything bad – it add to the notes functionality I need!!!
Amazingly, why neither M$ not 3rd party developers do not create real pocket outlook which, at least, would follow the same BD structure, to have all vital info in sync and handy????
I do believe that hundreds of heavy users would buy it...
best regards, Andrey
Great!

Hello !
Please try mNotes from CommonTime if you use Lotus Notes, it's an excellent program which never failes, with this you can add all your subfolders and have them syncronized as you like with different settings.

Patrik,
I’m Outlook user, thus Lotus Notes is not a solution now. Thanks anyway.
Qman,
Big Daddy (Pocket-On-Schedule 5) looks rather ancient This is the most complete pocket replica of Outlook DB and seems that sync is bi-directional, but, again, several cons.:
- Hierarchical folders structure in Outlook translated to flat structure in Device. I.e. does not mater what level of depth folder was – it becomes level-1 folder. At least there is no need for Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer.
- Program interface is awful: I wish I had functionality and interface friendliness of Pocket Informant and DB structure of Pocket-On-Schedule. In addition, DB is different from standard pocket outlook, thus, cannot be used by any other application (e.g. Pocket Informant).
- Moreover, pity that software not developing further.
Now, best solution I see is combination of:
- Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer 1.2 - to grab all contacts
- Pocket Informant – to manage contacts
- HPC Notes – for notes
and last, tell me one thing does M$ in PPC2003 changed this situation? I see that sooner or later somebody would develop software I dream about.
I've the same problem !!! it's incredible that there is NOT an easy solution... Palm OS as at least two... and very simple...
however, I found that intellisync http://www.intellisync.com/palmce_trial_dldml.html is very easy and usefull, but it does not manage notes...
I've found Companion Syncronize http://www.companionlink.com/products.htm which could be a solution, but I'm not able to run it...
Other suggestion?

Hey guys,
First, I want to apologize because I"m about to ask dumb questions. I've spent some time wandering around reading threads and FAQs trying to understand all this, but I'm still fairly lost.
Before i begin, some basic info:
I'm on Sprint, currently on ROM 2.09.651.3
I use ActiveSync to connect to my company's Outlook server to get my work email, calendar, and tasks. However, I sync with my home PC for files and favorites.
I'd like to update to the most recent ROM as i'd like to get the faster web speeds, GPS, and SprintTV if possible.
The only thing I really don't want to lose are my contacts, which I don't have syncing anywhere currently. These are obviously not work contacts...and I don't have Outloook on my home computer....so what are my choices as to how I can backup my contacts? Preferably, a free application.
Lastly, am I understanding correctly that I can download the file from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402887
and simply follow the instructions on this page:
http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Co...es/Mogule_Detailed_RUU Instructions_R1 _2.pdf
And that's it?
Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm pretty good with technology, but I've never done any updating or tweaking with my phone. Aside from the HTC Home app, it's mostly stock. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.
I just asked this question last week. What I discovered are 12 different answers from 12 different people. SO I will just tell you what I found.
SPB backup or Resco Backup. Those cost money tho. I prefer the free options.
I just discovered Dashwire. It's an online site that does the backup for your phone. It only does contacts, messages and conversations, call history, media (video and picture), bookmarks, ringtones, voicemail (but not on Sprint), speeddials, and has some social networking involved (including syncing with Twitter).
It seems to have worked great for me. I haven't noticed anything missing since my upgrade.
It doesn't do calendars, but I use the free version of Goosync for that.
if all you want are the contacts, "pim" in the my device folder contains the contact info. To verify, rename, reset, and see if your contacts are still there. As I recall you cant overwrite directly, you need to rename the original and then copy the old file to that location after the wipe.
Sounds like you have the rest figured out already.
Personally I run exchange for everything important, a UC file for my programs, and dont care about texts/etc. I did save my SPB P+ config, which is one of like 5 things I have to do manually on a hard reset (today screen plugins, buttons, contacts on phone suit, and exchange settings are the others.)
Hey Fellows,
SendReceiveAll is just a small program that i created for my own use. In default Windows Mobile client, if you have multiple email accounts and they are set to manual download, like it is with me, While checking mail you need to go to each account and click send and receive. This is a bit tedious.
SO this program, which is a small, no-gui, .net cf app does so. It calls send and receive for all outlook email accounts. This way you can tap it once and then wait for your emails to finish loading at their own pace.
Its a very simple start and i haven't done anything profound with it. Its just an idea that clicked me.
Suggestions and Ideas are welcome from all of you
Thanks!
UPDATE : Here is the link to cab file for this utility. I haven't tested it so cant say about how reliable it is. Thanks to post&telecommunications to make and post it
SendRecieveAll v.1 Cab File
PS: It seems that this doesn't works if you have multiple IMAP accounts. The problem I think happens because IMAP accounts cannot be updated in "Background, Asynchronously". So If thats the case with you, I am sorry, I don't have any solutions right now. I will see if anything can be done about it
Thanks. Works like a charm
Glad to know that you found it useful
Yeah, I've found it a bit tricky to check all my accounts.
For further development, is it possible that you can implement a progressbar that shows, when an account is ready and maybe a dialog that shows how many emails are downloaded per account?
Yeah, I was also having these things in my mind right at the time of developing this version and i am working on these. Actually the method i use to call the sync facility of messaging application is not synchronous , ie. my app doesnt get to know when did the messaging app finished. It gets control back immediately. So i'll have to find a better way to do that. Thanks for the suggestion
Manilla sync data
Thanks for the progy! It would be nice to have this integrate with the Manila "Sync Data" button under settings, Currently this only works for syncing Activesync, but the description does say "and Internet data"
Is any software for Send only?
Is any application for Pocket Outlook, when I want only Send (not Send and Receive)?
Nice application - some suggestions
Great little application! I’ve been wanting something like this for ages – I didn’t want to set my mail accounts to send and receive every 10 or 30 minutes, I wanted them to sync when I picked up the phone and pressed a button – now I can do it without going to my gmail, yahoo, hotmail and Exchange Server pages separately!
As others have pointed out – having something that said mail account 1 of 4 synchronising would be good for progress – at the moment I don’t know whether I’ve got no emails or it hasn’t worked correctly.
If you are going to end up adding options to this, then auto disconnecting the data connection when all mail boxes are synchronised would save me another button press!
Making it work directly from send/receive in Manila is a great suggestion from ‘anothersmith’ – in the mean time I can’t get it to assign to the programs tab in Manila or via Hbutton – it doesn’t pick it up…..?
Good work.
Splelling errror!!
The reason I'm struggling to get the Hbutton to assign via the registry is that the .exe file is spelt incorrectly!
You've got it as SendRecieveAll.exe
Hbutton thread that shows registy values if anyone wants it for now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794&page=2
Usefull application...thanks lot..
By the way ...i got problem coz im use diferent network (3g ,home and wifi)..i should sett the smtp manually before clickthis
great effort
Hi Friends,
Sorry for delay in response i was out of town Thanks for all the great responses. So i guess these are the changes i should try to implement :
1. Visual Notification of the progress and optional data disconnection at the end.
2. Integration with Manilla Sync.
3. Option to send only.
@brandall: If you add a sound to "New Email" notification in Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications applet, you will recieve a standard notification from the messaging app about the newly recieved emails automatically. I get it on my phone.
@all: Since i only have a HTC Gene at my disposal, i cannot experiment with TouchFlo 3D features. I guess you people are talking about the sync button on tf3d, right? So can anybody tell me the integration procedure for touchflo 3d, i mean the registry keys and all.
I have 3 IMAP accounts, but it only sends/receive the last one
By the way, your app is a great idea!
I have exactly the same. 6 IMAP and it sends / receives only the last one.
Idea is great. Please correct the problem.
Oh, i didn't test it on imap, and i just returned from a long tour. I will look into it asap.
I think that the solution is to make the application aware of the synchronization status on outlook, which apparently can't send and receive from different IMAP accounts at the same time..
But it's only a personal hypothesis since I don't have the foggiest idea of how to program.
it will be greate to make gui with send/recive all... sen all ... recive alll
Hi Great app
one question, can run background? or hiden whith screen off?
i use another app to trigger the send/recieve mail by sms.
thanks
Hey Krazy - any update on this?
The original version I have still gets used every day for me!
great work however I removed .net due to memory restrictions on my xv6700 is there anyway to get the source so we can try to get this recompiled in c that way all devices could use your wonderful program. thank u again for listening
thank you for this wonderful piece of work.
Not the end of the world, but I have a contact that keeps disappearing from my favourites on people tab.
It only disappears when ever Active Sync is syncing, though the contact is still listed, just disappears from the tab.
This has now happened on the last 2 or 3 ROMs I've used so that rules out a ROM issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
TIA
I have used search and can't find anyone else with the same issue
Not being funny, but as a senior member I'm sure you know how to start your own thread, so why hijack mine.
the info that tells sense it is a favorite (and Facebook links) is held in the notes field, so you could try setting it as fav, then edit the contact, scroll down to more (brings up the winmo contact screen) and copy out all the code,
example
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Favorite>actionid:CallMobile</Favorite>
<Facebook>id:51xxxx112/friendof:xxxx91731</Facebook>
</HTCData>
and manually put it in the notes field of your contact on the pc.if it solves it, it could be that your sync settings have been altered to update only from pc to phone, not both directions.
None of my contacts have anything like that.
Today they've all behaved themselves and not run off, will keep an eye on it
Normally your contact will have a Note information, like samsamuel mentioned before.
I know if I delete this info on one of my contact's, it will disappearing from my favourites on the people tab.
This info is needed.
I have a strange problem here, haven't seen it mentioned yet on the forums.
Calendar: creating and editing appointments gives "An unexpected error has occurred in this program".
Tasks: when I create a new task, it appears OK, but if I close and restart Tasks, the changes vanish! When I tick-off a task, I get the error "No program memory available".
Contacts: creating or editing contacts gives "No program memory available"
I am able to view entries without problems, but completely unable to create or edit...
There is plenty of memory available, 25MB storage + 50MB program. All other applications working ok, including Notes.
I have guessed that the problem might be in the Outlook databases.
I have tried:
1. Soft reset - no change
2. Restoring ROM backup - no change
3. Deleting the ActiveSync partnership and overwriting the device databases - no change
4. Hard reset - fixes the problem, But comes back as soon as I restore from ActiveSync backup. Sadly the only backups I kept were after the problem arose.
5. Deleting the Outlook databases using PHM PowerToys - but half of them I couldn't get rid of because "another application was using them", though apparently nothing else was running. Deleting the ones I could gave no change.
I DON'T want to do a hard reset and start again from scratch, because I lose a lot of data that will be hard to restore. E.g. a few very important progs that I haven't got the installers for, my SMS messages, the phone call history + timers, GPRS and network settings, and a huge number of program configurations, including photo contacts database, transcribe settings etc. (don't know of a way to back these things up).
I have an XDA2 (Himalaya/xscale/128MB) running PocketPC Windows Mobile 2003 Phone Edition. Please help! :x ผลบอลสด
