Synch problem
OK ...
Finally posting on this problem - hoping others have experienced it and can help with a solution. I have a T-Mobile Dash WM6.1 (though this problem happened with WM 5 and 6), synching to a Vista Machine (Windows Mobile Device Center). This has happened on multiple machines/setups and different Dashes.
Every so often (maybe twice a week), when I synch - I get the dreaded little red-x in the corner of the "synch center" icon in the task bar, indicating a problem. Activesynch in my dash says Attention Required: "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device ..."
Ugh. First - this takes a long time. Second - I lose my speed-dial and voice tags for my contacts. All a pain in the a**.
For months, I have been trying to figure out the rhyme or reason for this. It's happened with freshly booted PC and Dash. It's happened when nothing significant has occured (changes, disruptions) ... I've tried different bluetooth ports, wires (trying anything)
The closest thing I can think of is that it happens when I modify a contact, but I am grasping at straws.
Has anyone experienced this, and is there a solution?
Thanks!
Been there...
I've had that kind of problem when I tried to sync my outlook e-mails into my device, tried lots of things ("disable advanced USB connection" is one of the most famous suggestions) but what ultimately work for me was giving up on syncing my outlook e-mails and having my pop mail accounts setup on the device and downloading them every so often to keep it up to date with my outlook...
Anyways, try googleing for the error number or the phrase you get in the error box between "". But don't get your hopes too high tough: the problem is well documented and very spoken of but M$ doesn't seem to care much about it to come up with a solution (not even an official response, if my recollection is not mistaken).
Well, good luck and cheers.
Well, Synching outlook emails is the lowest of my priorities. Synching appointments, tasks and contacts are more important. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for your suggestion that I try to use google to find the error message. I never thought of that. Google. Are they a new startup?

I've been having problems with getting Windows Live Mail to sync all the time (yes, I have selected "sync when items arrive", but next time you look it has changed back to manual!).
I`ve been looking around in the registry and I think I've found where it's stored, could someone who's email is syncing correctly tell me what registry value they have at -
HKLM/Services/Windows Live/Sync/SyncType

Additional to that, does Windows Live have to be running all the time to sync as items arrive?
Thanks
Rob
I`ve wondered that too, I have tried both ways, but neither seem to work.
I'm having the same problem.
Just in case you are wondering, if you click on "As items arrive," and click on "done" and they you head back to it, it will NOT stick to it. That is normal, it does not stick to it.
Synctype = 1
Thanks for posting this question. I too have just started playing around with Windows Mobile Live.
I seem to think that 'as items arrive' does not stick. Also I have had success with WM Live getting messages when it was not running on my PPC so I am guessing it does NOT have to be running which is outstanding. Also I see that it will force a data connection instantiously upon a soft reset of the PPC.
All this tells me that WM Live is dug in deep into the ROM! Now the issue I seem to have with it.
I am betting that WM Live breaks the data connection invisibily. Here is why... It seems to work OK for a bit of time. Then even through the data connection shows connected NO applications on my PPC can access the internet. They all try but no data is ever returned. A soft reset and all is normal. I notice this about once a day and usually overnight.
Now I can't totally blame WM Live for this... I can blame my carrier, the internet in general, sun spots, etc... It is just so many variables to keep a working data connection going.
I changed HTCustom to keep my connection always on, so I'll see if that helps. Well this seemed to help. I did not have WM Live running and sent messages at different times to my WM Live email and got them all suprisingly.... I did not get the attachements pushed but I believe some others have posted that as an issue...
I've given up on it, it just seems to flakey to me.

It worked in black 2.0, but not in any of the latest roms (black 2.5, 3.0, LVSW, etc)
Anyone know what might have changed?
Noone seems to have a solution for this so far:
What happens every other day I sync is, after a long sync time with Outlook2003 on WinXPsp2, ActiveSync 4.5 shows a msg indicating a sync error (10 min or more), and a while later on the HTC there'll be a message saying that due to changes to Outlook, need to do complete resync.
AS4.5 shows Connected and Windows PC: Attention required. On the PDA, it shows Sync date and time with Attention required at the bottom of the screen.
Ok, when I click on Attention required a window pops up "There has been a change made on your server that requires you to re-sync all items on your device....."
Support code: 80883001
And every once in a while, I belive it tries to resync. When this happens, my PDA will sound an alert and there'll a message on the PDA with Yes and No options. The message is similar "There has been a change made on your server that requires re-sync..." But it also says all changes made will be lost.
On the PC, it will show synchonising.
All data are back again after this sync, but you have to reconfigure all Touch-contacts and HTC-home-contacts and all last calls do not show the referring contact anymore.
This seems to be a WM6-Problem, not only Artemis, but I don't know where else to post.
Same problem on a HTC Kaiser (TyTN II). Weird.... Annoying as it requires all my voicetags to be re-recorded and the HTCHome quick dial icons to be reprogrammed.
R
I have the same problem in my kaiser. I will try the "always open ActiveSync" workaround that I found in the following URLhttps://forums.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/showpost.aspx?pageindex=4&siteid=65&postid=2384890&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1
Hope it works.... If anyone else knows a workaround please post a solution
Did anybody found a workaround for this problem. I believe this is a problem special to WM 6.0 , do you think this is the case? Thx
Never disconnect while synchronizing

This really seems to be the ONLY solution so far - I've had the same problem with B&B 4.3 and before.
the Sync lasted for more than 10 min most of the times.
since I have Bepes 0.53 with Pagepool 6 MB - it works just fine! Sync in 1 min!
Error code 80883001
The same is happening with my O2 branded Kaiser. Seems to only do it when I've been running Sat Nav (Co-Pilot) - that might be a coincidence though
related to Sat Nav?
I returned Co-Pilot and the problem never re-occurred until today! I can narrow it down to the a freeby download that offers to sync the clock on the PDA with Sat-time. Can't remember the name as I've now taken it off. Not sure whether the two events are related, but I'm determined to narrow it down and iy just seems a spooky coincidence that the problem only came back when I installed the freeby... (Co-Pilot, I seemed to recall had an option to sync the clocks too)
i have no co pilot or some other syncing clock...
i have a diamond touch 2 and the same prob and NO workaround
i did read, not to sync email subfolder, i do not sync any email right now, error is still there.
what to do?
80883001 error
I am having same problem - when I try to sync files I get attn required. then about 1 day later I lose all changes since last sync. Any clues?
Thanks
help
help please, this is driving me nuts!
I am wondering if anyone would have an idea why i am getting this error message - something like: "cannot DL contacts to phone, not enough memory. close some programs and try again" - when i try to sync to my outlook info from my company's exchange server thru activesync.
I am pretty sure i have all the server info correct because i had it wrong before and it wasn't getting this far as to TRY and DL the info. Now it connects and tries but it is stopping before it gets any. I know it actually is seeing my info b/c it says which specific contact it stopped on. This is a pretty fresh phone with plenty of storage memory and nothing running in the background to prompt this type of error message.
Any ideas?
try syncing 1 info store at a time... just do email, get that to sync then add another.
the contacts are the problem. email, calendar, and tasks all sync (separately). it's the contacts that cause the error and snag the full sync.
so then, you have trial and error
create another contacts folder and move half of them into it and see if the half remaining will sync
odds are you have a corrupt contact and it is "screwing the pooch" as it were
Very good advice!
It was very odd to be doing this, because the contacts causing the problem appeared to be clean, but there were maybe 10 contacts that kept snagging the process. One by one I pulled them out of the contacts folder and finally, SUCCESS!
To me, a strange occurrence, but your helpful advice taught me a nice lesson on problem solving (that i am almost embarrassed I did not think to do on my own). This phone is my mom's new work phone and I have a feeling even her IT support at work might have left her high and dry without a solution, so I am grateful and I know she is grateful. Thank you Radimus
No problem... I am one of my company's IT support staff and I am certain that most of my staff would have done nothing to troubleshoot the problem either.
I had a similar problem a few weeks ago where one of my calendar objects was corrupt and would crash my google calendar sync.
I'm glad that you resolved the situation and I'm certain that you'd have eventualy resolved it on your own anyway... This site is filled with exceedingly clever people... most of the lusers would be in AOL forums
Hi All, new here...I have a HTC TP2 with Winmo 6.5 installed. Here's my situation, a couple days ago I used to received emails from my gmail account, now all of a sudden I can just send and not recieved any emails from gmail. My yahoo and hotmail accounts are running fine. Anyone have any ideas why my gmail is not receiving??? I spoke to one of the TMobile reps and it seems all they can do is HARD RESET the device. Any help? thanks in advance
I use Seven for my push e-mail, google, yahoo, exchange all work flawlessly. Have you made any changes to your device around the time it stopped working?
no i haven't changed anything on my phone which is kinda weird, I really don't want to hard reset the phone since restoring things is taking a toll on me. I would like for it to be a last resort but on the other hand I might just end up doing it since Im flirting with the idea of flashing to one of the custom roms here in xda. any ideas?
just my two cents... yesterday I discovered that all of a sudden my Gmail account had disappeared from the account selector (leaving only Outlook), I could still see the emails but couldn't reach account settings or nothing
Somehow it returned, but with most settings in blank.. imap and smtp server, SSL options, all were in blank.. no idea why or how this happened, but filled all blanks up again and now Gmail's working fine...
Trouble w/ Gmail after WinMo 6.5 Sprint upgrade
Just upgraded my Sprint TP2 to WinMo 6.5 today. Why this update took so long to come to Sprint customers is beyond me, but overall, I'm pretty pleased with the update, save one problem that has made me "strategically relocate" my phone with sudden velocity...twice.
I've been trying to set up Gmail since this evening, with zero success. I had my Gmail account set up on the device before the upgrade/update, but now...
I've tried every known method to enter the settings, but whenever the device tries to connect to the Google servers, it tells me I need to check my user name & password, even though I've entered both correctly.
I've even logged into my Gmail account on my laptop, changed the password just to make sure I've entered the correct one, & the device still kicks back to the user name/password screen saying the settings are wrong...I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT!!!
I've seen several posts from users experiencing trouble with Gmail on 6.5, but these have all seemed to stem from Wi-Fi vs. other types of connections.
I've also installed Google Sync & my Gmail has DL'd to my device, but I prefer to get my e-mail through the normal account setup.
Sorry so lengthy & thanks in advance for any advice anyone may be able to provide.
not sure if it is googles problem or our phones but i spoke to a couple of people with iphones and gmail accounts and it seems that they arent having any problems receiving their gmails. Did windows take a dump sometime this week?

Not sure if this will help, but... when username is requested, you have to type the complete idem, i.e., [email protected]er ... some time ago I had same problem as yours and solved it after realizing that I was including my username alone, without the @myserviceprovider.com part

Thanx, sirgal. Actually, I had tried both ways - one with just the username and one with my entire e-mail address, both to no avail.
However, I say "had tried" because, lo & behold, today just as I'm about to contact HTC tech support to see if 6.5 was causing Gmail probs, I decided to try creating the account ONE MORE TIME. Murphy's Law prevailed and, for reasons unbeknownst to me...IT WORKED.
I did everything the exact same way as I tried yesterday, but this time success. I'm taking a strictly "don't ask, don't tell" approach as to why it worked today.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
I'm having a similar problem hopefully someone can help with. I've setup my gmail account and had it working fine until without any cause I can determine, the accout disappears except for still showing up on the TouchFlo e-mail "tab." When this first happened, I started from scratch and setup "Gmail2" which also worked for a while. The reason I had to name it Gmail2 is that when I tried to use Gmail as I had originally done it tells me that this name is already in use. It just did this to me again and sure enough, I had to name the account Gmail3 this time around. I don't understand why they are "disappearing" nor why the name is still in use and the previous 2 versions still show up on the TouchFlo e-mail tab and nowhere else.
Odd question, or at least I think it is as this is the closest thread to the actual problem I'm having that I've found here or the HTC forums. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I have the exact same happened to me multiple times in the past. The only solution I found is to restore from a previous backup. Fortunately I backup at least once per week so it wasn't too disastrous but still annoying.
Unfortunately, I haven't ever done a backup (honestly never thought of it for a phone) so that isn't going to help. What I'm hoping for is if someone else has seen this and how to delete the ghost accounts. Thank you wearefree for the help.
I have trouble getting my 300MB Notebook to to sync, Does anybody have a workaround or a tip?
I still couldn't set it up properly.
Just a little more info might help us.
What happens when you try to sync?
Are you on wifi or on 3g?
What is the behaviour you expect?
Have you tried syncing a small notebook?
Have you tried creating a new notebook just on the device and syncing that?
I use OneNote all the time and have no issues at all. My notebooks are rather large, too. Perhaps if we know what it is doing instead of syncing we could help you out.
My Bad, Thanks for the prompt response guys..
The Syncing never finishes. It's been two days now. I even put it for one full day.
Worst part is in this new version of OneNote I cant see the sync progress. Earlier version, there was an option to see which section is syncing and how many are more left on the notification bar. So I'd know if it gets stuck somewhere, there's a problem with a page. But in the new version, no notification appears. Since guys seem to be doing alright, it might be something on the device. My laptop syncs perfectly, and only the note 7 gave this problem now.
