Bought a HTC HD2 yesterday and got the ms exchange set up info (servername, domain, etc) from our IT department to sync work e-mails, calendar and contacts over my 3G telstra SIM that I have used for the past 2 years with no problems.
I have stayed up to 6 AM trying to get it to sync to no avail!!!! active sync keeps trying to sync and goes into loops with no positive results...
The thing is once I connect to my home internet via wi-fi my emails start to sync without sweat!!!!
It seems that for some reason my 3G is not doing the job, or is there something I need to enable in the setting!!
I am flying to Singapore early Sunday and desperately need to get this sorted...Your help would be very appreciated if you could please guide me
Thanks

Well, personally, I would prefer to use outlook to sync my stuff... I find it's a more pleasurable experience... Maybe you can try setting up outlook to get all your mails from your email, and from there sync?? My contacts are sync-ed through outlook too.. Anyway, I'm pretty new here, so just my 2 cents.. =) Hope this helps man...

Thanks for trying to help mate, but my problem is different.
I am trying to sync (on air) not connected to PC via 3G or GBPRS connecting to MS Exchange - This is a very normal work email set up protocol that for some rason won't work on HTC HD2.

I sync OTA with and exchange server, without issues, had to put in no special settings, have you tried removing and re-creating the setup ..
Also , try just selecting contacts to sync, see if it will sync anything ....
I placed an order for SGSII and its shipping this thursday :_)
just a question regarding kies, can it sync outlook contacts and calendar easily
how about music and video sync, is it good ?
I don't know about Outlook, maybe someone else can review that for you. But I sync my contacts and calender with Google and it works great. Syncing pictures, audio and video through Kies also work fine, just make sure you untick optimise for mobile in Kies so it would avoid down-converting the data you sync to your phone.
are you able to sync through USB with Kies?
in my case, Kies Air connects ok, though it does has problem parsing my outlook 2010 calendar.
but when USB is used, it's complaining that i should switch mode to "Samsung Kies (PC Studio) mode", which i search high and low, and couldn't find the mode toggle option.
the path recommended by people's using i9000 are dead ends too.
edit: turn out it's due to the USB debug mode. when enabled, Kies refuse to connect.
How do you fix this problem?
How do you turn off the usb debug mode. Is it on the i9100 or the PC?
i started using kies but gave up in the end. you might have better luck than i did as i'm sure that it would work fine with a bit of work.
i ended up using this myphoneexplorer : http://www.fjsoft.at/en/
i can't recommend this software highly enough - it has made syncing with outlook bulletproof and it also allows me to control my phone from my pc when i'm at work.
hope this helps ...
it works

i use kies to sync outlook contacts/calendar/notes and it works perfectly
i also use kies to sync my media (songs/videos) folders with the phone and it also works perfectly
i gave up trying to use it (i use hotmail, and thus outlook connector). i got it working fine, but then went and setup hotmail as an exchange account instead. its just annoying that contact pics dont sync except gmail...

Same here
Keis didn't work but myphoneexplorer did the trick pretty well
Install Google calender sync on your PC as that will sync Outlook to your Gmail account that you will set up on your phone. Set your phones calender to sync with the same Gmail account.
Anything you then put on your phone or Outlook will sync automatically without having to connect your phone to the PC at all.
outlook sync
Hi,
just wanted to let you know that I had no problems at all to sync my Samsung Galaxy S2 with Outlook 2010.
Anyhow I have problems to sync my Galaxy S2 Samsung calendar afterwards with my google calendar. Any ideas how to do this?

Hmmm...I just read your question again.....
You've got it set to sync under
\ settings\accounts and sync ?
Thanks for your help! Now I get it up and running.
Hi all, I have a HTC HD2 which is running fine, but looking at Android, I reckon my phone could be even better.
Why do I use Windows Mobile ? Simple, I'm dependent on Outlook on my laptop. This is my work tool, and I cannot go without my email, tasks, calendar and contacts. No compromise. And I use pop3 with my own domain.
Now, the only thing that prevents me to switch over to Android is ActiveSync, or an equivalent, that would sync emails AND calendar AND contacts AND tasks.
As far as I know, that's not possible. I found various apps to sync calendar/contacts but NOT emails. Or vice versa.
Am I correct in this statement ?
And no, I do NOT want to sync over the cloud using Gmail (let alone an Exchange server which I can't afford). I want to keep it as it is : pop3 to and from Outlook, then sync via USB/Bluetooth.
If there's an app out there, bring it on !!!
Thanks.

I am ex winmo (4 phones ago) and think you will find it very hard to go no cloud.
The best solution I could then recommend would be to run a local mail server on your laptop and then sync over your wlan. You could do this using a receive only function on a nix based mail server.
Lot of effort... sorta like re-invemting the wheel.

Did you try apps from Google Play store like Maildroid or K-9 mail or Touchdown Exchange? I use maildroid and email syncs just perfectly. The stock email app can sync mail and calendar !
Looks like you're stuck with WM since there isn't an equivalent for Android or IOS. My first smartphone was a WM6 device and I wasn't impressed. Pocket IE is garbage, thank goodness for Opera Mobile and Mini. WM6's constant memory leaks meant rebooting my phone almost daily if I opened any apps. ActiveStink may be well and good for heavy Outlook users but for someone who just wants to transfer files to and from PC not having USB mass storage in WM6 was a BIG MINUS.
Here's the cherry on top - WM7 & WM8 phones will not be compatible with apps you purchased for WM6 so your phone is already obsolete.
I guess you can do as maskslash suggested or find another contact/task management tool on your that does the equivalent functions which also works with other smartphone OSes.
Or upgrade to WM8.
Otherwise your WM6 handset joins Symbian users - stranded on an desert island.
Well you have the best phone out there if you want to dual boot Android and WM. Android and others all rely on the cloud these days, there really isn't anything out there like Outlook/Activesync anymore.
Thanks for all your replies guys, you've confirmed what I thought. I'm actually looking into getting MsExchange somewhere, but it sux Outlook-USB-WM is no longer an option.
Cloud may be good for western countries etc but currently I live in Asia-Pacific in remote areas where Internet is at best 128k, when it works. POP3 and local sync is the only option for me.
Oh well I guess I'm a dinosaur then
What are u waiting for

Not until you show me I can sync Outlook using USB...
Then I'll get a new phone.
Theres plenty of 3rd party solutions out there like this, but you'll have to try it for yourself to see if it works.

I'm having difficulties signing into skype using my Asus transformer prime tablet.
I used to be able to sign in before but lately it hasn't been working, it says the skype does not recognize my password or something? has a red ! beside both my sign in ID and password.
I double checked this multiple times on my desktop version of skype and it works.
Also I cannot sign in or participate in google hangout video chats anymore, I was only able to do this once successfully but it lagged and decided to restart my tablet ever since then it hasn't worked.
Also got a different message few days later
Cannot connect to Skype
You cannot be signed in at this time. Please check your mobile network settings and try again.
This has been ongoing for almost two months now, please help!
Please help I don't even know where to start.
I did a factory reset, reinstalled skype multiple times, cleared data/cache
I am also having problem login to skype. Accually not even sure I manage to login with my skype account. However, after merging with msn account and login with it I have never experience that problem anymore. You can try to merge with an msn account if you got one else create one to go around this problem for now.
