My pda2k recently developed a problem (after a restore from a sprite backup). I am unable to sync my outlook email. Whenever I try and activate it in activesync I get the message "Unable to remove old data." I have tried deleting all the mails on the device, reseting it and deleting the files in the messages folder but doesn't seem to help.
I have read somewhere that the only way to fix this is to do a hard reset. Has anybody got any ideas?

Since doing a restore from XBACKUP everytime I try to start jeyo mobile companion there's always this error message appear on my XDA O2 II
"SMS Module Init failed : 0x08004010f".
and I can't access the sms messages? Anyone got any ideas. Jeyo useless...
Doing a restore from anything corrupts the "new improved" Pocket PC Inbox.
Try Sprite Software's "Cleanmail" program.

That should delete all your inbox accounts and database stuff so that you can rebuild them. If that doesn't work for getting the SMS messages and Jeyo Mobile Companion back, you'll need a hard reset.
does anyone know what all the files are jeyo installs?
I know of the comman.exe.
Just wondered if removing all of these would help so that it had 2 put clean copies back the next time a connection was made?
For some reason the contacts lists on my MDAIII only goes up to the letter M. On Outlook they are all still there beyond M, but a sync doesn't detect any missing contacts. If I edit one of them in Outlook [deliberately change a number temporarily] then it gets synced, but I can't incorrectly edit all my contacts or I'll forget what I changed!
Is there a way of making ActiveSync re-transfer the whole database of contacts from the PC?
Thanks.
hi mattross,
1) try to remove partnership and create it again.
2) check if you have latest ActiveSync.
if nothing helps, you can try this:
get this Backup tool: http://handster.com/product.php?id=29
Backup your device, but without PIM data (use 'Custom backup')
Hardreset device, restore data and synch from your desktop PIM data.
Cheers,
Victor
Hi everybody.
I really need your help on this!
After a fresh PC install I synced my phone with Outlook via Mobile Device Center.
Problem is, my Outlook addressbook on my PC was almost empty - and now, all my phones contacts have been deleted!!!
And I don't have a backup of the newes contacts.
I know it is possible to restore deleted information on most storage devices.
Does anybody of you guys have experience on how to possible do that on a WM6 device?
Where does WM6 normally store the data? What software could I use to restore deleted Information?
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks a lot,
t.
You might be out of luck, since it probably didn't delete the PIM file. It only deleted records in the table of that file. Have you sync'd with any other computer? MS Live? etc. Your contacts still may be on the other devices.
Otherwise, I think your outta luck. Sorry
Chris
I had this once and i found back my contacts in MSN in the "deleted contacts". If you haven't synced with MSN, i think you better start to look for some new friends

there isnt any data recovery software for windows mobile trust me ive looked there is software to recover simcard info
http://www.datadoctor.biz/sim-card.html
I had the same problem kinda.. were your contacts on your simcard at anypoint?
If so you could always get a simcard data recovery software and usb thumbdrive for simcards. U need to instal the recoverysoftware on your pc and to get you simcard to recognise on your pc thats were the thumbdrive come into play.
This happened to me when I switched to Vista, totally unexplained loss of all contacts. I feel for you man, I was lucky and had most of them backed up on an online service.
thx for all your replies guys - managed to restore most of my older contacts - but the newer ones seem to be lost - dammit.
well, lets move on
I use the PIM backup to backup my contacts/sms's/recently called lists.. I set it to back my things every day and to keep 3 recent backups. I keep my backup files in storage card so if I have to do a hard reset -ill get my contacts etc. back without computer. Thisway I avoided similar problem(just had to restore the backup with PIM backup).
PIM Backup is the best choice. Synchronization with Outlook only is dangerous - have bad experience too...
Hi
Check your deleted items in outlook on your pc. I have sometimes found activesync deletes items from my phone but they go into the outlook deleted items.

I recently upgraded from XP to Vista and the same thing happened. I didn't back anything up either. I got lucky though, my old files from xp were saved in a folder called windows.old, went in there and found my .pst file(outlook) and placed it in the vista outlook folder and got everything back...now I backup with PIM Backup daily.
Hello there,
Recently I almost had my BA dead. Fortunately, I've managed to save it and now I'm facing a great problem. I'm so tired and I can't think of any solution, I need it fast that's why I'm asking you.
My phone during the "good times" was named something like WM_blbabla. I had all my contacts and calendar synchronised and it worked perfectly well. After disaster (i had to reinstall OS), I named my phone with some other blablabla, and although all info is still in my Outlook 2007, I can't manage to force contacts to sync with the phone. Whatever name I try, Outlook cannot send all these contacts to my phone (it doesn't create any new personal file though). How can I restore this data to my phone?
I hope you can all understand me - data is in outlook, my phone after synchronising doesn't want to download it. how do i do it
mmm, have you tried to name your ba the same as before?
that probably wouldn't help, i call my device the same name after each hard reset and every hard reset, still the old partnership needs to be deleted.
maybe you should try this: since your device seems to be rather empty these days, hard reset it again, and before even connecting it to the pc, make a backup of your outlook data file (outlook.pst) but don't copy it, move it some place else. then go to activesync or synchronisation center, depending on your os, delete all your former partnerships. now you have a clean system, open outlook, it will give you an error message, that no outlook.pst was found and if it was relocated you should give the new location, try not to do that, but let outlook make a new one, if that doesn't work, google and download an empty outlook.pst fitting your outlook version, remember, since you backed up the old one, no mail or pim information is lost. import that. if that does not work, re install outlook.
my point is: have an empty outlook, have an empty activesync and an empty device, then set up the partnership for sync and sync it, make sure to set all the options like you want them, plus the "overwrite on the device" option, when this empty syncing went well, disconnect your device, kill outlook and activesync overwrite your empty .pst with your old one, this time copying it (to still have a backup) with your old one, restart outlook and activesync or your entire pc, whatever might work best, then connect your phone. if the "empty sync" worked, your full sync with actual data will also work, and within, say, 20 minutes for this entire process, you have all your pim data restored, and then, please do yourself the favour and expecting possible future sync issues, like with some of the newer roms, use pim backup to keep a backup of your mobiles information.
this was just the result of a minor brain storming session, please don't judge me, in case your problem is so complex, this wouldn't fix it. but i guess it would still help you find the errors.
good luck

Hi, yesterday i restored a backup after have tried Ginger but now i have a problem with gmail synch: everytime i receive a mail and then i delete or change label i continue to see 1 received mail and if i go to the mobile site i find it unread in the inbox.
Anyone know how to solve this problem?
thanks in advance.
No one?
Have you tried cleaning Gmail's cache and data?
You should try a "microsoft solution": just delete your account, create it again and sync all a new.
I had a similar problem after a ROM update, and that fixed it.
I've tried clearing data and cache of Gmail app, but after the first synch it stop again. I'm going to try with the "m$ solution" lol.
Thanks for the replies
