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....

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.
Is there a deep-seated problem with syncing WM 6.1 with Vista's WMDC?
I have tried just about every WM 6.1 ROM produced by the excellent chefs here. On every occasion, my Hermes syncs perfectly on the first setup. However, every time I reconnect, the sync fails, with a message that there is a problem with the desktop PC. Deleting the partnership solves it for one sync, then it fails on subsequent ones. So, every time, I re-flash back to my trusty WM6 ROM and, voila, syncing returns to normal.
This occurs with every 6.1 ROM I have tried. It happens with my desktop and my laptop, both running Vista. I have checked that I have the latest version of WMDC. I have ensured that I have unticked "Enable advanced network functionality' in the USB-to-PC option.
I need to sync my Hermes every day, so this problem stops me using any of the 6.1 ROMs. Am I the only one with this problem? Has anyone had the problem and solved it?

Yes, both desktop and laptop are using that version of WMDC.
I have that constantly as well with every 6.1 ROM i've used.
My "workaround" is to turn off the calendar sync, allow the other items to sync, then turn calendar sync back on and re-sync
Then that PC will sync properly until I try to sync to another PC and I have to turn off calendar, etc... again
I've using WM 6.1 ROMs with Vista for some time now and have never had that problem. The only difference is that I leave the enable advance network..blah..blah checked. Try it.

Thanks very much for your response. I am heartened to hear that someone else is experiencing the same problem, and it is not just me.
I will try the calendar sync work-around.
Blackout128. Thanks for your reponse as well, but I have tried it with that box ticked and unticked. From Radimus above, it could be a calendar issue. Do you sync with Outlook Calendar?
Yes, I sync the calendar. I guess it was kind of stupid to suggest something that simple. I hope the calendar issues works, who knows with vista, I may have that problem tomorrow.

My final question, and this is the killer question - Are you using Outlook 2003 or 2007?
I use Outlook 2007, and my suspicion is that there could be a problem syncing with that version. Those who use Outlook 2003 might not experience it.
If you say you use Outlook 2003, great, perhaps I have got to the root of the problem.
If you say you use Outlook 2007, I will pack my bags and go!

I have no problem slashing and syncing using Outlook 2002.
Having read Radimus' workaround, I re-installed a WM 6.1 ROM. Once again, I experienced sync problems. But, as soon as I removed Calendar from the sync items, everything worked well.
Is there anyone out there able to sync calendar items between a WM 6.1 Hermes and an Outlook 2007 PC?
I am running Outlook 2007. Here is my Outlook Info.

Thank you Blackout128. My version of Outlook is the same as yours. I am stumped.
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??
Matt
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
Hi,
I'm currently using MCR 3.2.
I must admit : I'm a flash addict.
I tested a lot of ROM. Mainly 2.1.
The only thing that prevent me to switch to 2.1 as daily ROM is because I use HTC Sync to add my work calendar to my Hero. Is there a 2.1 ROM with HTC Sync or another way to do add my Outlook calendar to my hero without merging it to my google one ?
Thx to readind me.
Mik-
Hmmm..........i re-read the last part of your question and deleted my answer.
Exactly the same for me. I am using CKdroid and it is perfect apart from the fact that I cant sync to outlook as there is no HTC sync.
I'm in the same boat - using CKdroid (great ROM) but there's no way to sync to Exchange calendar. I use Gmail (sync's fine) and Google Apps (Activesync) and the 2nd one is not longer possible to sync. Maddening, and counter-intuitive, to remove something that was there in a lower version of the software. Even worse when you think the iPWN gets to sync multiple Gmail/GApps calendars right out of the box..!
Any ideas, anyone?
I wonder if this the same issue I am experiencing.
HTC Sync works well enough to synchronise applications, but contacts only lists "Windows Contacts" - no option for Outlook. Calendar/notes/tasks isn't an option at all.
For the record, I am running VillianROM 1.2.1, an although 2.0 is available as of this morning, nothing in the changelog addresses the problem and I haven't tested this yet. I am running the Outlook 2010 beta but have read about the same problems with Outlook 2007.
htc snyc für 2.01 or 2.1 roms needed

i dont like to sync outlook to gmail and then to htc hero!

I have had a read through the forums and info about the software and this seems to only cover media, rather than outlook calendar and contacts. Have you tried this?
I have flashed my phone rom with MoDaCo 3.1 (Android 1.5) and HTC Sync still doesn't list Outlook as an option, so I guess this is probably an issue with the HTC Sync software itself.
Update: Android 2.1 does have something to do with the problem I think. I needed to unplug and plug the device into USB a few times before HTC Sync forgot about the limitations of the last ROM and recognised it as a new device.
I'm running villian 2.0.1 and while I sync my outlook through exchange if you use USB to PC there is an option to run HTC sync.
My laptop recognises my phone when i choose HTC sync connection but I can't confirm if outlook sync works that way as i don't use outlook on this laptop.
If i go to sync manager it asks me to set up outlook so it all seems to be communicating fine. Maybe someone who uses outlook and villian 2.0.1 can test it out.
