If you are interested in syncing your Phone7 with Lotus Notes, try the commontime mNotes Wireless (there´s a free trial).
It even works in your enterprise environment, as long as you can reach the commontime servers (proxy is supported).
Works like a charm with my Mozart - just follow the instructions for the HTC Hero.
don't get it! there is no support of WP7 at commontime... and where is link for the instructions with hero?
thanks for your help. My company uses Lotus Notes and I need to synchronize...
you´ll find the instruction here:
h ttp://www.commontime.com/assets/mNotes_SetupGuide_HTC_Hero.pdf
You are right - they say they don´t support it, but it works perfectly.
Even Accepting / Declining of invitations, public adressbook search and all that stuff.
Just keep exactly to the hero-instruction, and carefully read "before you start" (alias...)
Also take care to fill out the fields exactly as shown in the Hero-Guide (especially the correct Name, Alias,...)
Some Help if possible
Hi Guys,
I read this with interest and got a copy of the setup pdf.
The problem I'm currently having is (hoping I'm not having a brain dead moment) how do you wifi connect to your Notes account? I setup a ad-hoc network on my laptob but my Mozart cannot see that (surprise, surprise). So I'm guessing you guys have connected both devices to a standard (non-hidden) wifi network?? Can you let me know. Thanks

Do you know why this is sorry? Is there away to make it work or not?
The Notes connection works via your Internet-Connection (Proxies are supported).
mNotes establishes a connection between the mNotes Server and your Phone7 Exchange Connector while your Client connects to the Server via your Standard Internet connection.
Hope that helps
I found out that this method of syncing has one small issue:
If you use the notes public adressbook lookup function from your phone-mail app, mnotes sometimes fails to deliver the mail (it skips the blanks between prename and surname).
This will NOT happen, when you use the lookup function from your phone-adressbook app or from the phone-calender app.
Replies work as well, it just seems to happen if you create new mails directly from the mail app.
Anyway, as far as i know mNotes is still the only way to sync Notes and the Mozart by now, so it seems to be an acceptable issue for me
@Blueant
got it working?
You don´t need to connect the Phone7 to a WLAN, it will sync via your GSM connection.
Just connect your PC to the Internet & follow the Setup guide.
That will do.

Is it possible to sync using activesync over the internet without running an exchange server? I'd like to be able to sync my XDA while I'm out and about to my PC at home.
:shock: :?: :?:
been trying to do the same for ages , but never found out how to do it
It can be done, under a few conditions:
1. You need to have a static IP address for you PC
2. You need to install Pocket Hosts or a similar free utility to map the WINS host name to your PC's IP address.
3. Your carrier / ISP must not have a firewall that blocks ports 5678 or 5679 (T-mobile seems to block this)
Remote active sync was designed with a local area network in mind and it is configured to connect to you computer by using the WINS name and not using an internet based DNS name. When you connect over an internet connection from your XDA, it is not able to find you PC.
If you install a free utility such as Pocket Hosts (http://zimac.de/cestuff.htm) you can configure the Pocket PC to be able to find you PC. This utility will allow you to configure you Pocket PC to map your PC Name to an IP address (similar to the HOST file on a Windows based PC)
Before I had the unlimited GPRS plan, I created a dial up connection to an ISP on my PocketPC Phone and it works perfectly. However, when I try the same thing over the GPRS connection, it does not work. From my end, it looks like T-Mobile blocks ports 5678 or 5679 on their firewall, which are the ports that remote active sync uses to complete the connection. (It looks like it is about to work, but then fails to complete the connection)
I have tried to convince t-mobile to fix this, but they keep claiming that it will not work out of the box, they don't know how to make it work, and they won't support it. They try to "upsell" me the sidekick or other device. I can't seem to get through to the right people. It seems crazy that a setting on their end blocks us from being able to sync over the air. After all, what is the point of a data connection if you are still restricted to using a cradle to sync. I understand that they don't want to support this and walk people through setting this up, but blocking the functionality seems pointless.
Anyone tested this on ATT? With number portability starting, I may have to explore other options. Anyone have an in at T-mobile that can get them to open up these ports on the firewall?
try www.yahoo.com
get an account (if you don't have one already)
login -- click on mail
the click the tab for addresses
on the next line to the right you will see the word "sync"
this will take you to download intellisync for yahoo
then follow instructions
sync you pda and your good to go, you will have your info on the internet and sync from anywhere
one more thing if youown a palm os and a pocket pc pda and you want to have both devices with same info (contacts, mail, notes etc. etc.)
the change the settings on your intellisync for your other device and resync
hope this helps it did for me...
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and my Network is SMART Communications. I tried synching with my active sync via GPRS but it seems it can't find my PC eventhough I used Pocket Hosts utility. It seems they block the port too. Anybody from Smart to please open the gate for us.
I've setup up my Win2k PC as dial-up server. And with the help of the Pocket Hosts utility, I can now be able to sync my Outlook over the air. But the call charges is killing me.

I've been investigating this myself too - and have to say T-Mobile's attitude is also alive and well here in the UK on O2 (via crapphone-whorehouse data support team).
I was actually shouted at by one of their 'tech' guys when I tried to persuade them that it could technically be done, but I needed to find out whether they were blocking the relevant ports. He eventually hung up on me! Fantastic service, eh!
I've been trying to get ActiveSync working over the Internet for the past few days and have finally managed to get it to work reliably. There are a couple of things that I have found...
Firstly, at least one of the ports required for ActiveSync does seem to be blocked when using GPRS (Vodadone UK in my case). Setting up a normal dial-up ISP connection results in first time connections to ActiveSync every time. It would be nice to know why there is problem over GPRS.
Secondly, my device was still connecting as Guest. Whilst reading through various other forums I found a fix that seem to work for this but it involves deleting a registry key. I wouldn't recommend it as I have know idea what else this key might be used for but it certainly solved the problem for me. The key I removed is HKLM/Ident/Username value is guest. The key is replaced automatically at some point (maybe after a reset) so if it stops working, you have to go and delete it again! There must be a better way....
That's great information, thanks.
I now have my device remote synching!
Just to summarise my steps to get things working on my XDA II:
1) XDA: Set up new work connection (don't you just hate the organisation of conenctions...) to a dial-up ISP over GSM, as O2 UK also block the ports required for activesync.
2) PC: Open sockets 990, 999, 5678, 5679 on my firewall
3) XDA: Use pockethosts to set up the IP address for my PC name
4) XDA: Change HKLM\Ident\User from guest to my normal PC logon user id
5) PC: Set allow network connections in activesync
6) XDA: Manually Connect to the ISP connection
7) XDA: Open activesync and click synch - away we go!
As an update to this, I had to do a full restore at the weekend after loosing all my data on the XDAII. The problem was not related to these changes but it made me look again at the Ident key. There are two keys normally like...
HKLM/Ident/Name Value<Your chosen PDA Name>
HKLM/Ident/OrigName Value<Pocket_PC>
This time I changed only HKLM/Ident/OrigName to the same value as in HKLM/Ident/Name and it connected first time. Also, this value does not seem to be reset unless you do a hard reset on the device. This may be better than changing the Username value though I have yet to try either on another computer where my preferred connection should actually be as a Guest.
Got it working
Thanks to andyclap's suggestions I finally got it working. It looks like T-mobile does not block any ports, but without the registry hack the error I got was the same as when I tested this over a dial up connection and blocked the ports on my firewall.
The other change since my last post is that I am using WM2003 and it requires you to set up a VPN connection to the PC instead of just using PocketHosts for the name resolution.
Hi,
I got hold of my T mobile G2 a week ago and had being using WM 6.1 till now it looked to me promising choice but had following issues, please help me (dont mind paid software as well) :-
1) How to Sync Exchange mails (even if its through USB connection to pc its fine)? have used even "Touch Down" trail version cant get even mail from USB synchronization. Have being successful in syncing using HTC sync only calender and contacts.
Have used WM 6.1 smartphone active syn could do without any issues.
2) Wifi wireless connectivity with eapfast(eapGtc) any software ?
3) Connect to Internet from HTC hero using PC Internet connectivity using USB data cable again was possible in WM 6.1 without issues.
4) Offline maps for google ? though happy with dapdroyd but does not give direction for point a to b only present location somehow limiting the use of maps.

1) How to Sync Exchange mails # Much tweak Touch down worked and is a blessing just it dont update all folders within inbox.
2) Wifi wireless connectivity with eapfast(eapGtc) any software # This is already there by deafult and to much of surprise "Enterprise ready" Kudos to android.
3) Connect to Internet from HTC hero using PC Internet connectivity using USB data cable # This is still a problem not sure if anyone got this working
4) Offline maps for google ? # have to stick to dapdroyd for timing as no better alternative till now.
Here is the latest Windows Live CAB that I downloaded from the WM Marketplace today (May 3, 2010). I like it cuz it allows you to sync and push your Hotmail email even if you're already pushing Gmail with ActiveSync. In essence, it's like having 2 Exchange accounts. It also gives you the "conversation" style emails in Outlook.
Windows Live never used exchange to sync email, what you say doesnt make sense as you have always been able to use an exchange account with a windows live account. Plus the version on the MP is currently 11.1, this would be a downgrade.
Any changelog?
Even if it doesn't use Exchange to push the Hotmail, it's basically the same thing, so who cares about semantics.
Please kindly state what the full version number of this *.cab file is... I know that the latest one provided in http://wl.windowsmobile.com/ is version 10.7.0061.0500.2000.

There has been some confusion about which version this is. I'm just going to leave it with the date that i downloaded it from the actual Windows Phone Marketplace. If you find a CAB that was downloaded after that date, then it's probably a later version.
Hmm...
Actually, I also have always been able to use Exchange + Hotmail.
Since I got my Windows Phone back in October 2009, I've always had Gmail on Activesync PLUS Hotmail on Windows Live and both were set to Push-mode (As item arrives). Maybe there's another feature they introduced that we haven't discovered?
Have a version for Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard (Motorola Q11)? Hugs from Brazil!
Some ROMs don't come with Windows Live or possibly with an older version.
This CAB will allow you to push both Gmail and Hotmail at the same time.
I recently got a windows live/messenger account and now I'd like to use it on my i780 via Wifi (not via Gprs, as that is quite expensive). Could you please tell me if this version can do so? The older ones all seem to be unable to do it. (exept if there was a way to use wifi as a modem)
thanks in advance

Are you asking can you use Windows Live over a Wifi connection? The answer to that is yes.
A cool little feature I noticed is that if you are using a ROM that does not have threaded email conversations, installing this CAB will enable that in Outlook. A nice little addition.

Thanks for your reply, but in my case, it doesn't work. Opera mobile, Outlook mobile and any other program that needs an internet connection are able to use wifi, but windows live insists on using gprs. When I try to log in(with wifi enabled and connected of course), it opens the connection bubble saying that a gprs connection is being started. If I click it away a couple of times, a notice appears that gprs doesn't work...
I already made an empty isp in the connection settings to prevent it from using gprs, but it somehow seems to start ActiveSync on the mobile. There I have no option to change the connection type to use wifi, but only wap gprs or mms etc.
Btw. my mobile is running its original windows mobile 6.0 Pro. Could that have something to do with this?
sorry for writing so much, but I want to make it as easy as possible for you to help me.
Thanks again
Using Wifi to get hotmail seems to be a problem. It always wants to use the cell data connection over wifi if both are available. I know that you can get windows live email through wifi if you turn on wifi and completely turn off the phone radio as if you have no service. But if both are on, I don't know how to make wifi take priority.

you could try DataController or Modaco NoData to (temporarily) disable your data connections. That way Windows Live is forced to use wifi
One thread with all official MS apps is not a bad thing, but someone looking specifically for Windows Live will have an easier time finding a thread dedicated to just that.

I'm having the same problem of unable to connect messenger on wifi. Even when I disabled the GPRS connection, Messenger will say that problem connecting to the data connection.
hmm I maybe wrong to intervene and say try using Palringo which has all MSN, Yahoo, Gmail etc (perhaps you are using Live messenger for a reason there) -

Thanks for your tip, you're quite right. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow in the morning.
With windows live etc. I haven't been able to even only take one step further. It still always uses the connection that is chosen at "programs - internet access - network connection". If I deactivate this connection(i.e.with NoData), it simply tries another one and if I stop all connections (or simply turn off the phone part of my mobile), it immediately says that there is no connection available. But it does still not use wifi, although it's turned on all the time. It works via GPRS, by the way, but it's much too expensive.
Expect to hear from me soon
EDIT: I have now tested palingo and I have to admit that it works really good! Also, there were no problems with wifi (of course)
Even after Skype's February 2010 announcement that Skype would no longer support WinMo platform, Peter Parkes (brainless effing moron that he is, IMHO) said Skype just wouldn't be offering any more WM downloads but would continue to allow WinMo customers to connect and use the service. I'm not sure how long that lasted or when it stopped, but recently my brother loaded Skype on his Verizon BB Storm 2 and it works fine so I have been trying to connect my two WinMo phones from here in Thailand so we can converse inexpensively, one HTC 8525 WM 6.0, and lately Toshiba TG01 WM 6.5. Unfortunately both go through the motions, but neither will connect to the Skype server. I've even gone to Skype's support website and learned that other WinMo users are also complaining that they can no longer connect so it seems that Skype is indeed dead on WinMo.
So what's a suitable mobile VOIP alternative that will work on all platforms? Any ideas or comments?
Thanks!
you can try this one, even though not simple as skype.

You should really try again. Today I read your post and tried to establish a connection vià Wi-Fi using the WM Skype client. Lo and behold my first try was successful. I was able to make a call and to chat. So I think I can without any doubt say: It works.
Pay attention to the following details: If you tried to connect through your wireless carrier vià UMTS make sure your carrier does not block VOIP. A lot of them do. If you tried to connect using Wi-Fi ensure that your router's firewall does not block the ports Skype uses. You should be able to find out which ports are needed by Skype by visiting their website. If I remember correctly I had to open some ports myself in order to get skype working. And of course make sure you use the latest client. I have attached a .rar archive containing the latest version.
My phone is a Xperia X1 (WM 6.1) and I use the latest Skype client (not the Xperia panel).
Hi!
I've just downloaded the latest attached skype. After installation and checking the wifi router / 3g connection settings I experience the same continuous logging screen with an error message on timeout...
Any suggestions how to use it?
I'm using a gsm touch pro2 (rhodium100) with 6.5 energy rom (one of the latest builds)

Thanks for the info, altae! I've tried every version of Skype I could find for WinMo on 2 different WinMo phones with no luck. Skype works fine via my laptop, it's only WinMo where it won't connect either via my cellular data plan or connected via USB/Active Sync via a different ISP. I will contact my cell phone company tomorrow and confirm they aren't blocking Skype.
Thanks!
So, I was trying to make my own VPN to bypass my mobile network's blockage on Skype. I'm trying to get my Galaxy S3 connect to my home's PC which is totally fine with Skype.
I followed the steps here to setup a VPN on Windows 7. But when I tried to fill the VPN settings on my phone, it was unsuccessful.

I have to say, I highly advise against using any of the desktop-based Windows OS for a VPN server. The reason being is that although some functionality for providing an incoming VPN service may be there, it is by no means widely supported and where it is found, can be flakey and unstable at the best of times. Server-based operating systems, like Windows Server 2003, feature a very solid server base (hence the name) and as a result, have much more support and stability when it comes to hosting services used by clients. Further to the point of an actual VPN server, they are very difficult to get working properly and even more difficult to maintain, even on a server-based OS. I know running a server-based OS isn't something that everyone can (or wants) to do, so if you need to use a VPN service for whatever reason I suggest taking a look here: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-completely-free-vpn-services-protect-privacy/ or if you wish to shell out a few pounds here: http://www.zeropaid.com/news/94826/top-5-free-vpn-services/ Anyway, that's just my opinion (although one I have developed from a professional background and having endured trials much like you are now) so on to the problem you face...
You say you have setup a VPN incoming connection, via a Windows 7 wizard. I encourage you to check this link out, and go over the motions it describes to see if there are any intermediate steps the guide you followed may have missed.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/210562/how_to_set_up_vpn_in_windows_7.html
After you have done this, please follow the following link to see the ports that are needed to be opened between you and the outside world. This will either have to be done at a) your firewall if you have one (could be software, ie Windows 7 Firewall, or hardware) or b) your router.
http://www.speedguide.net/faq_in_q.php?qid=163
I am unsure whether Windows 7 as a VPN server uses PPTP or L2TP for its service. However, I will hazard a guess and say PPTP, as L2TP I have only ever seen used on Unix-based system. Therefore you will need to open (or forward) ports 1723 and port 47 to your Windows 7 PC. As there are many different makes and models of home router I cannot give you specific instructions on how to do this, but a Google string such as "<your router name here> port forwarding" will no doubt give you guides on how to do this. My money is on something like your router/firewall just blocking VPN traffic, as the ports are not currently forwarded properly.
I hope this helps - let me know how it goes.
