Hi Folks,
I've flashed my Orbit with a couple of new ROMs recently (my first time doing it, seems to have gone smoothly).
I've just noticed that Active Sync doesn't seem to be taking my calendar items from my PC to my device. Everything else goes across OK, and AS says that it's synced the calendar, but nothing appears.
Any ideas??

I think I've figured this out now. It looks like WM6.1 isn't compatible with my work laptop, which runs XP & Office 2000.
Don't think Office 2000 is supported?
The combination WM 6.1 and ActiveSync 4.5 sucks... especially if you use two PC's. There's a topic about that. Microsoft says they support WM6 but no word about WM6.1, so I think we can wait forever for a solution.
My solution is to go back to WM6

I have been fiddling with my Blue Angel, as one does. Anyway - I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
Firstly, my device (T-Mobile UK 1.42 ROM) stopped syncing the Calendar from Outlook 2003, which itself uses an exchange 'mailbox' for storage.
This is not ideal, as you may imagine, so I tried to re-install Outlook, and Activesync 3.8. To make sure, I also hard-reset the BA.
Again I was asked to 'place the device in the cradle' and ActiveSync shuffled around, turned green and minimised - WITHOUT asking me if it was a standard/guest partnership etc etc.
Basically, both PC and PPC AS connections showed connected, but nothing was syncing.
I have temporarily resolved this by installing AS 4.0, which again asked me how I wanted to sync, but ideally I would like to use AS 3.8 (since I'm using WM2003SE) and yet each time I install 3.8 or 3.7.1 it connects but refuses to sync.
***Correction - On closer inspection, whilst it Syncs everything else, Calendar is still not synced with AS4, and nor does it give the option.
Is this something seen before? Likely to be an Outlook, ActiveSync or PPC issue?

So... I probably should have researched this a little more before I decided to take the WM6 plunge... but... I didn't...
So haha - here's my situation. I have two computers I can use to sync this too. I use my mac regularly with missing sync. Well, i USED it regularly... But... Missing Sync doesn't work with WM6.
Okay so then there's the work PC. I got the newest version of active sync. However, Active Sync 4.5 doesn't work with Outlook 2000 - crap.
Am I totally screwed or is there a workaround? Can I set Activesync to sync with windows xp address book instead of outlook? Please help!
Sync problem
If you have the Excalibur, it should have come with a copy of outlook 2002... why not try and install that and see if that resolves your problem.
I have the T-mobile Dash, not the excalibur... While i'm fine with doing anything on the mac, i'd rather not mess too badly with the default apps on the windows PC.
Hi all,
having upgraded to the official O2 WM6 Rom, I have since been getting trouble with Activesync. The syncronisation is very slow and sometimes will not syncronise at all. I sometimes have to disconnect and reconnect to get the blue bar to move and complete syncronisation.
I am running XP sp2 on both home and work PCs and it is the same on both computers.
Anyone else noticed any problems synchronising with the WM6 Rom and Activesync 4.5?
I have searched the forum and also tried Microsoft knowledgebase but to no avail.

Same problem ive had here, but finaly it worked! No issues since.
I Have had the problem at 1st sync after the update. Then tried to sync 1st the contacts, then added calendar, files and so on. It appeared that my big calendar (400 appointments in total or so) made that activesync hung. I changed the setting from sync all appointments to just the next 2 weeks, and then activesync synced properly. After i added some more weeks, and at last i synced all apointments.
No problems since, also at first sync at work (2nd pc with activesync) this problem did not occur at all and i could sync all appointments (and contacts, files, and so on) at once.
Hope this helps for you 2!!!
Twiggerdingo, thanks, I may try that, but all appointments and contacts are now synchronised, it still takes ages though and sometimes stops, even when there is only one item to synchronise.
I have had a problem with every WM 6.1 ROM I have tried. After flashing, I set up a partnership with my Vista laptop, through WMDC, with no problems. However, when I then set up a second partnership with my Vista desktop pc, syncing with my laptop then fails every time. When I go back to my desktop, that fails as well, both with a message that "there is a problem with the PC".
I thought at first that this was an Outlook problem, and I had started a thread for that. Since then, I have flashed another 6.1 ROM, syncing only with my laptop. I had no problems, day after day. However, as soon as I added a second partnership with my desktop, I experienced the same sync problems.
When I revert to a WM 6 ROM, I have no problems with syncing to both computers.
Is there anyone out there who syncs a WM 6.1 ROM with two Vista computers?
6.1 has this problem. I've tried DOZENS of ROMs with the same results.
The only workaround I've found is to disable the calendar sync, sync, then enable calendar, and sync

Thanks for confirming the problem, Radimus. I wondered whether it was just me!
I don't know if the problem lies with WM 6.1 or Vista's WMDC (which only claims compatibility with WM 6.0).
I will try your workaround.
it is 6.1
I've tested with every combination of WMDC and 4.5, on vista and XP
Hopefully WM7 will fix this issue
Funambol
You could try Funambol or Schduleworld to sync that information over the air... and then sync Outlook (or even Thunderbid) with the Funambol service. you can sync as many computers and devices as you want. I haven't used activesync in a very long time thanks to this solution.
Plus it's free.
Good luck...

I've got a Vista Ultimate pc with Outlook 2007 and an XP pc with Outlook 2003.
I never can sync both calendars with my WM6 rom. So its not WM6.1 only thats the problem.
I think its caused by WMDC personally..
I analysed the Problem (WM6.1, 2 PC's Vista, Office 2007):
If you sync new empty Outlook-Po-Poxes then you'll have ounly Problems with Serialdatas. Only then, if you edit one of the dates on the second PC (addet on first PC, then sync on second PC). Sometimes also by fullday-more-day-dates.
What you can do: Make empty the second Po-Box. Then sync with First PC, then sync with second PC. After then, edit the serialdatas only on PC one. If you have Sync-Errors by more-day-dates, add or edit these only on PC one.
The point is, that you can edit these dates only on the PC where you have add them. If you edit them every time on the same PC, you'll never have problems. Insted Edit them, you can they also delete and add new. That's waht I do this moment.
I Hope, that Microsoft will make an update.....
Hi,
why is it that about half of the cooked wm 6.1 cooked roms don't sync with outlook calendar? some of these roms are so cool and I would love to use them but w/out calendar being synced w/ my laptop's outlook calendar, I just can't use them. any ideas?
some so far that works are pdaviet's, tnyynt; actually so far only these 2 have worked for me, and all others don't sync at all.
thanks.
problem fixed
i fixed the problem by restarting my laptop. sorry about that.
however, i think some roms still don't sync, as I've restarted my laptop before and it still doesn't sync, but this one that I want to use is ok now....
