exchange server sync via gprs

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone has experience with using the outlook mobile sync with exchange 2003. Specifically, I want to know how long it takes to synchronise using GPRS (not cradle/wifi).
Also, can it synchronise public calendars as well as the personal calendar?
Anyone had any problems with this? Does it ever not make the change? does any info get lost? can you view attachments? how long do they take?

Yes it's not bad. The first time it syncs it takes several minutes. Usually after that depending on your settings it doesn't take long.
It will sync your personal but not public calendars.
I've not had any problems with it and it always works assuming your gprs connection is working. Yes can view attachments if you have them set to download. Remember this is like a 56k connection so depending on how big the attachments are is how long it takes to download them.

Thanks Andy... but I really need it to sync a public calendar! That is the most important part... is there any way i can do this?

No, it is very limited in terms of calendar and contacts to your primary folders. For inbox you can have more folders sync'ed, but that's still it. :-/
No tasks, even.

Hotmail Sync Problem

Hi,
Im havin problems syncing my hotmail account through the windows live program - it syncs contacts and the inbox perfectly and get all the info - but it does not sync all my other folders.
I like to put my emails into different folder (e.g. University, Ebay, Play.com, Family etc etc) so I keep myself organised. The thing is if I want a file that a friend sent me two weeks ago and I put it in the University folder I cannot get to it and would have to transfer it before hand from my pc to my inbox. (ie the mails inside my other folder are not being synced)
Is there any way I can solve this? Maybe some setting I missed or an update to WMLive that fixes this?
Thanks to anyone for his help
JP

Hi,
I'm facing the same problem but haven't found a solution yet... :'(

In you inbox screen tap menu in the bottom right and then extra. There should be an option manage folders i think. I dont know exactly because my phone is not english. It is the second option in the extra menu. You can just check the boxes of the folders you want synchronized.

yes its called manage folders

thanks a lot

also, not sure if it interests you or if it even answers the issue but hotmail's mobile website looks fantastic on the Opera browser...
My main email is on AOL and I've just ditched the buggy email client for AOL's wap portal...
give it a try!

Syncing OneNote - can't find notes on PC

Is anyone here using and syncing OneNote notebooks? When I sync my notebook I can't find it on the PC - I was expecting it to be in the "OneNote Mobile" notebook on the PC but that's empty. I'm using the default ActiveSync settings.
Can anyone tell me where the OneNote notebook from the mobile is located on the PC?

Mine worked straight away. On my PC it automatically sync'd. I click on my One Note icon and it poped up with a tab called 'One Note Mobile' and my note from the mobile was there....

Check in the Unfiled Notes section on the desktop application. Its not organized the best by default, you kinda have to clean up the desktop program

TP2 Contacts

Hi,
Is there a way to import contacts from my PC to the TP2 coz i had an iphone and all my contacts are stored on the PC and its going to be a pain to have to re-enter them all manually??
Also im not sure if any1 else has this problem but i bought mine sim free & in on Three(3) network but in some places in my home for e.g. my signal is very weak but when i had it in the iphone the signal was stronger is there anything i could do to the settings??
thanks in advance - im a total noob with this phone only had it for a few hours

I don't know about Iphone - I guess it syncs only to malware like itunes.?
Anyway, if it can sync to outlook - (which you got with WM6) - then there is no problem.
otherwise you can seand each one over bluetooth.

You can change the settings in the activesync settings

[Q] Titanium Media Sync. Thoughts?

Title says it all. I was wondering if anyone has used the new Titanium app. Media Sync and what you liked or didn't like? Is it worth it? How is the battery drain using it?

Surprised that no has responded to this..
mmm... will have to try it myself

I'm using it but on milestone.
Seems good, works well for continuous remote backup of specific folder I,e, photos.
Apparently cannot set folders to continually synce down from the cloud though which is annoying as I wanted to leave it downloading videos from my desktop as they are converted while I sleep saving me from manual transfer time in the morning.
Bummer.

Works well
I'm using it on CM7 modded HTC Desire.
Works well.
Not a battery drainer because you can set it to sync only when you are powered, (or not if you prefer).
Syncs to FTP and Dropbox. I tested both and it works.
'Set it and forget it' (and if you want you can even turn the notifications off.
Worth the $.
Regards,
Jan

Great app but does anybody know if it is somehow possible to limit the upload bandwith?
Thx!

I just tried out Titanium Media Sync (on HTC Desire) and was annoyed to learn that you only have limited options for the sync (currently "continuous" and "single one way"). I needed the app to upload (and unload) photos and videos from the device to a network location, ultimately to free up space on the device. However, with the continous sync, any files deleted on the device will result in deletion on the network as well; which does not provide much of a backup.
I ended up with Syncness, which is exactly what I needed. You can even configure it to sync only with specific networks, at specific hours of the day, only at A/C power, etc. (the latter is in all fairness also supported by Titanium). I can even save original file dates/info to the remote location.
Titanium has a nicer user interface but that's not worth much when the program doesn't do what I need it to do.

Syncness and Titanium Media Sync are not the same!
Syncness supports Dropbox & Windows Share (Samba) networks and works ONLY while connected to WiFi, while Titanium works on both 3G & WiFi and supports Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, FTPS servers.
It's really a shame that Titanium doesn't suport two-way sync.
I would really like to see a whole package sync

I just got titanium media sync but i have trouble adding my adrive account to it. CAN ANYONE HELP ME HOW TO DO IT???
Thank you!

I am trying to decide between Syncness and Ti media sync right now. Basically want this to automatically sync my external and internal SD cards to my PCas a backup in case I lose my phone.
I like that ti media sync can do this without being on the same network since I do have an ftp share. How reliable is it? Seems none of these sync apps are considered very reliable. Does it have to run all the time or can you set it to only sync at a set time?

Thanks. Are you running your FTP server on a PC? I set my Windows 7 PC up as a FTP server. When I drag a folder from local to remote, it says failed to create folder. Any idea what the problem might be?

I've been using Titanium Media Sync (TMS) for some time syncing one way continuous via FTP to my Windows 7 PC. I've encountered a real nuisance which I hope is solvable. Basically the phone and PC are always on the same LAN, but the LAN may change from time to time when traveling. I've found no easy way of modifying the account with new IP address of PC. The PC does have a name on the LAN. I'm wondering how to specify the name (within TMS) instead of the IP address. That way the phone would always find my PC. At the moment, I must delete all the sync'd folders and the account and start over with a new account and set of folders. This also requires deleting all the previously backed up data from PC. There must be a better way! Suggestions appreciated.
