I cannot add contacts on B&B 4.1 - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi there, i upgraded my artemis yesterday and for some reason i was missing one contact i had to call today, the thing is that when i want to add the contact, so i open pocketCM new contact, i put the name, the file as and the number and when i click ok it gives me an error which states
"ERROR"
"An Unexpected error has ocurred in this program"
My only way out is by clicking ok and canceling the contact... is there anyone else experiencing this? how can i solve it?!?!
Thanks to all and specially to TOM.

Noone can help me?

Did you upgrade from WM5 to this ROM, and if so, did you use something like SPB Backup for your contacts, and restore to WM6? If you did, your contacts database will be broken on WM6, which may cause this...

I upgraded from wm5 to wm6 bb 4.0. i couldnt add contacts there either, i was hoping it was a bug... so what can i do? extract the contacs and put them one by one?

I'm sure there's probably many ways to recover from this, but I used a copy of Outlook. I restored my contacts to the phone with SPB backup, then using active sync, synced them to Outlook. Once done, I did a hard reset on my phone to fix the contacts database, then again using active sync, copied the contacts back from Outlook.
As I say, probably just one of many ways of doing it, but worked for me.
Good luck!

Moving Contacts from XDA IIi to Exec

Hi all
Well I finally managed to get an upgrade from my loved IIi to Exec.....
However how do I transfer my contacts from old phone to new 1...I tried beam, I tried synching but laptops outlook is dead (2007 thing!), Backup doesnt seem to exist in Exec..so cant back up and then restore
Any ideas???
cheers
George
What I did with my o2 to jasjar was copy my contacts to the sim card then took it out and trasfered to phone.
I dont think when a contact has multiple phone numbers it will copy those...it deffo wont copy all the address, contact grouping info
u can try
syncronizing yopur contacts alone to outlook and then making a new partnership with your new device
it copies everything

That's right. I'm afraid that AFAIK there is no other easy way to sync your contacts. I suspect that you would be better off fixing your install of Outlook.
use any bckup sw i.e. spb bckup, choose only databases and restore in exec and everythink is done. depends what U choose, if U choose email also, it will recreate Your email account settings(user name,pwd...) easier,faster ... than m$hit outlook

Use Jeyo Outlook Extender for that

PST Reader

does any one know is there is a PST reader for WM6?
Outlook can export contacts as a pst file, i was wondering if there was an app about that would be able to read a pst and copy the contacts into the contact list?
thanks
I've never seen anything that can do that but, and I hate to sound stupid here, why would you need it to do this?
Activesync can do that for you...?
Is there some particular ultimate goal you want to achieve by doing this?

yes, when my HTC TyTn trys to resync with outlook 2007 on Vista after A ROM flash it fails even though it worked before flashing, so i have to delete all contacts from my vista system, resync my phone with my XP system to get the contacts, then sync up again with my vista system.
I have not found anyone else with this problem, and i thought that there might be a little app somewhere so i could just store my contacts on my memory card as a PST and reload all contacts from my phone before the first sync.
I dont know y my system is being stupid but this is one or 2 annoying problems i have with vista!!
The easiest way to get your contacts back after a flash is using PIMBackup - it's free and can be found here
This will allow you to make a backup of your contacts onto your SD card (and restore them after a flash)
It should be a part of every flasher's toolkit It can lead to duplicate entries in your outlook though so you might need to delete them from your machine first anyway (but at least you can get them back on your hermes easy enough now)
As to the vista thing - are you deleting the sync profile out of vista after you've reflashed? I'm not even sure you can (only played a little bit with vista) but in activesync, I always delete my sync profile (but not syncd files folder), put the right name back into my hermes and re-setup the partnership and sync everything again.
Either way, I think PIMBackup should do what you're looking for

Thanks alot m8 fixed the prob str8 away!!
Not that I'm nosey or anything but which bit in particular sorted your problem out (also helps when people search who have the same problem
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Using PIM Manager to back up all of my contacts instead of having some sort of PST reader, i didnt realise such a tool was available.
I am having afew strange problems with my Vista system and my TyTN, the one you helped with, and another strange thing (just on the off chance you have experienced this and can help) once i have sorted the sync between the phone and computer, when the phone is connected via usb it "messes" around with my windows (the open ones on the desktop), for example, when typing something, the cursor will disappear as if i have clicked of part of the screen OUTSIDE the window i am using, then a second or 2 later reappears and i can type again.
as soon as i disconnect the phone it goes away!! im sure there is somethign trying to play with my emotions in my system, its really annoying as when my phone is attached to my system i pretty much cant do anything with my computer because of this focusing out effect.
it sucks!! (the other annoyign thing i have found with alot of people on here is the fact that if you ask a question, everyone just *****es at you for asking or you get "n00bs suck,y are they allowd here!!" so i havent asked also how do you describe my problem lol!!
So it was a Vista issue then?
Since I am on XP and although my backup needs are pretty simple, ActiveSync not only backs up my calendar and my contacts but it also included the pics that I have associated to them.
Sure I do not need my old call logs, but for basic stuff active sync suffices.

after abit of investigation, it seems that (on my vista system anyway) WMDC 6.1 was inable to sync with Outlook 2003, i have updated to Outlook 2007 and it seems to sync ok now, but i still have the other problem i mentioned before, i have checked everything i can think to check and i cannot work out what it causing it!!

There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all i

I have upgraded to oficial WM6 and I use Windows Vista 64, with the latest Windows Mobile Device Center.
From time to time I keep receiving this error:
"There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. Please perform a manual sync."
If I accept I lose the changes made in my P3300.
What should I do ??
I am afraid of syncronizing and loosing every change again
Thanks for any help

I have also updated my Artemis to official WM6, and syncronized with Vista without any problem. But I use Vista 32; maybe Vista 64 with WMDC would be the guilty. Try change to 32b version.
regards
Claudio
PS.: até aqui nos encontramos!!!
Pois é
Pois é... até aqui.
I cannot believe we all use underestimated 32 bit software in 64bits systems because the softwarehouses doesn´t care to create 64bit programs...
Well, I am still trying
Thanks anyway

They are lazy
They are lazy or think consumers arent interested in 64b.Who to blame?
Before a total flame war agains MS is started, I'd like to say that I had the same thing with the 32 bit version and the latest WMDC.
I think you can go ahead safely (I did, and I didn't lose any files/information). The message only says that it has to do a full synchronisation. Nothing is really deleted, it's just checked extra or overwritten from your computer. If you have a new B&B installation this shouldn't be a problem since you don't have anything on the P3300
How the error appears
"There has been a change made on your server that requires you to resyncronize all items on your device. All changes made since your last successful sync will be lost. Do you wish to continue" Yes or No
I don´t know what to do !
No problem
I've had this same message a lot of times..... well, exactlly every time I made a full restore from a backup after fooling arround with my p3300. And the point is... if you've made changes IN THE P3300, you'll loose them, as it's going to make a complete 'download' of messages and contacts from the server (Exchange in my case)... so you're safe to accept it (if your exchange messages and contacts are ok, of course)
Salut

It happens frequently
I have just accepted the error, and it is fully syncronizing.
But it happened before, and it keeps happening randomly, not if I do something big in my p3300 like a backup restore...
I would just like to say we have been investigating this problem with Microsoft for the last 4 months. Still have not found the cause of the problem. It happens with all of the Windows Mobile Devices independent of WM 5.0, WM 6.0 or WM 6.1. Also it happens with all brands Samsung,HTC, and HP I have seen it happen.
It is to do with something with the settings of the Exchange server but we can not be sure what it is. Our best bet is the Antivirus program causing the mishap on the synchronisation but I have to say we do not have any actual proof
No Exchange Server here...
Well I'm not using Exchange Server. I get this every so often too. I just use a USB.
I'm not exactly sure about this...but I don't remeber that I got this on XP.
I thought it was some software that I installed.

I have the same problem with XP SP2 and Active Sync 4.5 and my ATT Tilt running WM 6.1
This really stinks since it does erase all changes made to the phone contacts!!
Who has a solution??
i had the problem with my treo 750v and it keeps on with my new samsung i780.
it is very annoying. there is no data lost because simply all items are being synchronized again but it takes so long!
i have more than 1000 contacts and many many calendar items.
i still cant imagíne how that problem comes.
in another board someone told that this error occurs when the synchronisation is being interrupted.
i am gonna observe that. maybe that is the problem.
Problem Solved
The solution is at this thread on Microsoft... http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/.../thread/014c27ad-b7ec-43e8-b39f-908e0a88f25c/
However, some people are still experiencing the same problem after following the instructions... and you will! The first time you sync your device AFTER you have received the error message about the re-sync requirement and AFTER you have changed your settings, you will STILL get the same error message. Once the device has been synced (and, yes, after you've lost all your current information that you struggled to enter into your device while driving 60MPH on the highway while talking on the phone)... the error message will no longer appear the NEXT time you sync.
This is the case with my HTC Touch Diamond anyway.
Good luck.
which of the tips provides a solution. i read the linked topic but didnt find any
See here for a possible solution:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/d709054c-24a0-4b47-a29d-043aef6b14f3
i finally found out that its definitely the disconnection during syncing.
if you avoid that, the error doesnt occur.
and for resyncing all items you better deactivate touch flo. then it takes only a few minutes.
wm6 activesync, gmail push email, and error (support code) 0x86000106
Same thing is happening with my CDMA Sprint/HTC Touch Pro. I enabled IMAP on my gmail and set up push email on my phone for my gmail account using activesync. After a while, my phone activesync kept popping up a message saying, "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. All changes made since your last successful sync will be lost. Do you wish to continue?" Under 'Attention Required' it gives Support Code: 0x86000106. I allowed it to re-sync, but the message kept popping up. So as a last resort, I did a hard reset on my phone, but hard reset did not solve it.
After a while, I figured out that the problem was that I had chosen the "Sent Items" folder on my wm6.1 Pocket Outlook to be synced with my Gmail, but the problem is that no such folder exists in Gmail. Actually, Gmail does have such a folder/label, but Gmail calls it "Sent Mail," and this name difference misses up the wm6.1's activesyncing gmail accounts to give the above-mentioned error code. I also noticed that a new label, unbeknown to me, had been created on my Gmail called "Sent Items," so this may have been the reason that the activesync stopped synchronizing Pocket Outlook's Sent Items folder with the Gmail's Sent Mail folder/label.
I deleted the Sent Item label on my Gmail, and I think that I may now be able to start syncing Pocket Outlook's Sent Items folder with Gmail's Sent Mail folder/label, but I am not brave enough to take the risk of going through all that trouble if the error message shows up again. So I am now only syncing the Inbox folders on my Pocket Outlook and Gmail. What I don't understand is how did the Sent Items label get created on my Gmail account to cause all that miss? I did not create it, so my guess is after a while wm6.1's active sync may trick Gmail into making that label and cause all of those problems.
Many people have had this problem and Sprint, HTC, and Microsoft have no idea what is causing it, but I'm pretty sure I have figured it out. What a shame because so many people have reported this problem on various forums and reported not help or resolution for it although some got the error while trying to sync their phone with their computer's activesync 4.5 whereas my problem was using wm6.1's activesync with my gmail account directly to get push email--a service that Gmail began for Windows Mobile users since around Q4 of last year.
If anyone has a solution for this name difference on the two folders in Pocket Outlook and Gmail, please let me know. I hope the info I have provided will help.

Default accounts lost for Outlook and SMS

Hi all,
I lost my SMS and Outlook folders from my list of accounts. So I do not receive any text messages any longer.
Gmail (configured as IMAP) is working fine, no problem there.
The program MailAccountRepair (latest version) does not seem to help. When I start it "nothing" happens. It is as if the program was not executing. No error message. (Only when I started it the first time I was asked if I want to run a program from an untrusted source.)
My unit is a HTC P3300 with standard WM5.
I lost the settings already Thursday. On Thursday I did not install any apps, nor did I do any "tuning" that day.
Main apps concerned could be Flexmail 2007 (Build 1864) and phoneAlarm 1.63 (Build 200). All progs installed on storage card.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Unchanged - Help NEEDED pls...
Hi all,
I have uninstalled Flexmail.
Then when I try to start \windows\tmail.exe nothing happens. The prog is there, but it does not start at all.
As with mailAccountRepair.exe. When starting that nothing happens there either.
I would really appreciate some help. Maybe someone knows how to create the default account for SMS and Outlook manually or by some sort of script...
And pls.... I really do not want to hear: "Need to hard reset..."
Cheers
Done.
Hi all,
deleting the attachment folder on the SD card was the answer.
It was empty anyway...
Thanks to everyone who gave this matter some thought!
So long and cheers.

Dashwire SMS not syncing to new WM 6.1 install

Hello,
I recently updated to WM6.1 on my Dash (Thanks Mikey1022, Kavana, Ricky, NRGZ28, and Stylez). Before I updated from WM 6 to 6.1, I used dashwire to backup all my phone's contents (which it did without any issue). When I restored the contents, I got back the contacts, pictures, and video, but the SMS messages uploaded were not sync'd back down to the phone. I would imagine this is a 'feature', but after googling/forum searching, I was not able to find a way to put my old messages back on the phone, either through dashwire itself or otherwise (maybe putting them into some sort of text file, etc).
Thoughts on this? Any help would be appreciated.
-AJ
Update
If anyone was wondering, I sent an email to dashwire support, and what they sent back is below.
Cheers.
---------------
Thanks for your inquiry.
Dashwire will help you transfer your contacts, bookmarks, and speed dials from one phone to the next, but unfortunately does not currently enable you to move the other items that are backed up and accessible on the web to your phone. We're hoping to transfer items like text messages in the future, but for now do not support this.
Sorry about that.
Dashwire Support
