Hi,
I have a Qtek 9090 and I checked the Caller Id app bundled in the package. I miss one thing : I'd like to be able to define the picture associated to the contacts in Outlook 2003 and get it used by my Qtek...
Is this possible? If yes, how?
Thanks.
No such luck.
It's got to do with the way Activesync works at the moment. Even if Pocket Outlook DID support pictures (which it doesn't), Activesync 3.7x doesn't syncrohonise any additional contact fields (which is essentially what the pictures are - an additional field).
You will have to add these pictures manually at the moment. And woe if your machine needs to be hard-reset for some reason. You'll have to do it all over again! (Unless you use some fantastic backup program).
Activesync 4.0, where are you? Will you fix these annoying issues??

I have an imate PDA2K. I am running a piece of software called GoodLink, which is a push technology like a blackberry. Anyway, it has it's own apps (email, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks) that syncs with my corporate exchange mailbox.
My problem is that since it does not use the built-in email client, every program I have that can launch an email, goes to the built-in email and not the goodlink email. Does anyone know if there is a way I can make a change somewhere (registry setting) to tell the pocket pc when another program wants to launch a new message, it opens it up in goodlink email?
Thanks in advance!
I sync to Mac and so use Missing Sync from Markspace.
This worked well with WM5 Roms indeed, IMO more user friendly than ActiveSync.
The changes made in WM6 means that device will only look for PC with ActiveSync on (for security issues?) and so Missing Sync won't connect.
Markspace are dealing with this issue and in time will re-write to solve this issue however, it leaves me with a serious problem at the moment and possibly for some consderable time!
Has anyone managed to work around this issue, if so could you let me know.
Thanks

I can think of only one way, but you need Entourage on your Mac.
(1) Set up an account with 4smartphone.net
(2) Have Entourage sync with 4smartphone
(3) Have your Hermes sync with 4smartphone.
This works like magic. LIKE MAGIC I tell you. You change something on your Hermes, and - look ma, no hands - you go back to your Mac and the info has changed there too. And the other way around! and it is all pushed! GEEK HEAVEN.
They offer a trial period ... might just be long enough for MarkSpace to come up with a solution.
If you have Office for Mac installed, but do not use Entourage but instead use iCal, then you need to set up Entourage to sync with the iCal database. The option is somewhere in Entourage.
That's well and good, but only a partial solution. Entourage only syncs Email, Contacts and Calendar with an Exchange server. You'll still be missing out on Tasks, Notes, iPhoto and iTunes which Missing Sync takes care of nicely. I do hope MarkSpace works it out soon, but that's not likely to happen until there are some shipping WM6 devices available in the States...
I second that...
Man I really really need Missing Sync again!!!! I'm sure we're not the only ones
Is there a way to hack and reverse that security feature?
Cooks and cooders we can put a bounty on this!
Thanks for your advice nispen. I Have sorted out 4smartphone account as i run Entourage. I have had partial success in that have been able to sync to an exchange server but must have made a mistake somewhere as contacts in entourage are not being updated. This said, I have been able to get all addresses in one place - on phone and in Mac Address book so at least I'm halfway there!
Like spidy.web says, as the problem ultimatly likes within WM6 being secure - someone out there might be able to solve this problem - a reg edit or something?

I have a Volkswagen Touareg with a bluetooth phone prep, which is a remote Sim Access Profile type and possibly made by Nokia, the manual mentions Nokia HT-2, which I am trying to connect my HTC TyTN too. I have recently ugraded to the WM 6 ROM from the HTC website, works brilliantly, and am using the SAP Manager tool included to make the connection, which is fine.
But I cannot copy my phone book, which happens to be my ActiveSync contacts from an outlook exchange server. I have installed the Jetware Mobile app, discussed in a similar thread here, but no joy. Does anyone have any ideas please? Is there a widget I could install or some modification I could make that would achieve it, as it is a ball ache to manually dial every number I need from the steering wheel when it is just in the phonebook. Many thanks.
use gmail account
Hello,
I have the same problem. Converting the contacts to a gmail account en use the gmail app the synchronize mail & contact. that works fine .
Best regards,

I recently purchased a TyTN phone which I afterwards immediantly upgraded to WM6 with ease.
The main reason to go for a WM6 device was the direct push technology in order to recieve emails, contacts and calendar entries from my exchange server 2003 (newest version, all installed patches).
Synchronising and recieving messages works like a charme with the device except with contacts. After I sync the contacts, there are displayed on my device. In Outlook (on the PC and on the Exchange Server) all business contacts are displayed and sorted normally like this:
Last Name, First Name
Company Name
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
When I call a person from the TyTN (or send an email, sms,... basically select the person out of my contacts) the address and contact gets changed on the Exchange Server towards the standard formatting on the phone:
Last Name, First Name (Company Name)
xxxx
xxxx
xxxx
This seems probally for a lot people not a big deal, but it is in fact a major difference. When you type a letter to this person, then the Company Name is not anymore in the address field in Word 2003.
For me it is very important that my TyTN is not reformatting the address fields on the Exchange server, otherwise I always have to change them again for writing letters.
I called already a couple of times HTC in order to find a solution for this, unfortunately no reply.
Please note that the TyTN and the Exchange Server are both in english.
Any help or suggestion is more than welcome.

I have a Dopod 838Pro and I have used a played with a number of different ROMS and have stuck with Schap's WM6 and am currently running:
Schap's 4.31
Radio: 1.54.30.10
The problem. For some reason which I can't tie down, the MMS settings continue to return to the default vpix.com/servlets..... settings. Being that I don't send or receive alot of MMS it's not a huge problem, but it's got me buggered why it does this.
I sync between two PC's, one XP with Active Sync 4.5.0 (which then uses Groupwise PDA connect to sync with Groupwise) then at home I have Vista with it's Mobile Centre syncing up with Outlook 2007.
For no good reason every now and again the Vista Machine decides it doesn't know about about the PDA anymore and decides it's a new device. Being that this is random, by the time I notice the PDA has lost all contacts and calendar. I'm not sure if this is before or after I put it into the dock, but I can confirm that it is before I confirm anything on the PC.
I know that if you delete a "profile" thing on the PDA it will loose all information associated (including the calendar and contacts etc), but I'm not doing that.
Again the rare use of MMS means I can't pin down the MMS settings change to the PDA loosing sync. The other strange thing is that if I change the settings in the "Default" MMS server settings, when they revert back to the vpix settings, I am sort of screwed, but if I create an "Optus" profile then set that as default, when the vpix thing happens it simply re-selects the default profile, the upside being I can just re-select the Optus one and away I go.
So does anyone understand my ramblings or has anyone had a similar problem? Is it Vista? Is it the ROM? Is it a dodgy piece of hardware? Any ideas are welcome.
