how to match objects in POOM

I am working on an application where I need to wirelessly synchronize the Calendar info between the Desktop PC and Pocket PC. Now if a new entry is created on the Desktop PC and the Pocket PC receives a notification with all the properties, how can I make sure if such an entry does not already exists? Similar problem exists in case of an update or delete notification.
Currently we use a unique ID to identify each calendar entry that the Pocket PC can receive with each notification, but in POOM there is no interface to store any additional property. One way would be to use the Object ID of POOM and keep a mapping table between my unique ID and Object ID but I read that Object ID is not persistent as it can change after a synchronization.
A less reliable way would be to try matching ALL the properties but currently we don't send all the properties for a delete notification.
Is there a way to resolve this problem. I would appreciate any advice.

plugin for contacts and GPS

hey there!
I was wondering if there exists somekind of plug-in for a pocket pc (windows mobile 2005) that makes you show the adress of your contacts on your gps.
To put it in another way: i would like to tab a contact and instead of selecting "voice call", "video call", "edit"... i would like to be able to tab "show adress on gps" or "drive to contact"... If you know what i mean...
if anyone could help me with this feel free to reply on this post or mail me @ [email protected]
thanx in advance...

There is a feature in TomTom 5 (not sure about TomTom 6), that once you right click a contact then "Show Address in Map" and the already defined address would open in TomTom.

ActiveSynch blues..

Hi,
Activesynch 3.8 allowed you to select whether the computer or XDA would be prioritsed in case of information conflict.
I am now using Activesynch 4.2 which does not seem to offer the user to select if a conflict arises.
I have lost a couple of appointments because the PC overode the XDA.
Anyone got any hints to improve ActiveSynch??
Thanks

I have exactly the same gripe moving from my SPV C500 which ran Active Sync 3.8. That version of Active Sync was great. It synced almost twice as fast as this newer more improved version... And as you say it also gave the option of which device to use as the master in the event that two records were identified on both PC and SPV and they differed in the details.
Why oh why did Microsoft change this???!!!!

Beta 4.5 (2) allows you to choose when a conflict is found, it is available on the microsoft downloads site.

Doesn't the "Souce Settings" on the Activesynce running on your PDA work for this??
If there is a conflict, you select either
"replace the item on my device" or
"Keep the item on my device"
I thought this is what this settings if for??

Hey... trying to sync my contacts from outlook onto my new orbit.
when i connect the device it takes me through the wizard and i select contacts to sync. it comes up 'connected' and the 'explore' button is ighlighted ... but it doesn't sync and the 'sync' button is greyed out. the tools/options command is also greyed out. when i disconnect and reconnect the device i get the wizard again thinking it is a completely new device and i set it up again... this happens over and over!! all i want to do is sync my contacts!!!!...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks!
I was trying to access the PC side of Activesynch when not connected to Orbit.
Itr;s much easier to understand on the Orbit end.
Thanks again!

btw, Activesync 4.5 (after beta) is available.

In activesync click 'tools' then 'options'. Right click on the PC name (Right at the top - not the individual applications). Click 'source settings'. You can then select the source in case of conflict.

How do I connect my phone to BES?

I have a Dopod 383 Pro running Black Magik (apparently BBC does not work with Black Satin) with the BBC software v4.0.0.67 downloaded from the Dopod Australia website.
I have installed Blackberry Connect Desktop on my notebook and connected it to the Exchange server. I have added myself as a user on BES and set an activation password. The status of my account shows up as "Initializing". I have installed the Blackberry Connect cab file on my Dopod however the status of the service shows up as "Not Connected". ActiveSync has been installed and is synchronizing fine with Exchange.
I have a Blackberry Data Plan activated on my SIM card.
Can someone please help me get connected to BES?
Thanks!

On the desktop software:
1) can you see your BES account settings??
2) have you hit the 'configure handset' button? and let it do its thing (can take a while)

In the General Tab, PIN shows up as "Unknown Type". Security is set to "Generate Keys Automatically". In Advance, email shows my Exchange email address. That is all the information I have showing in the desktop software.
I click on Configure Wireless Handset and I get an error message that says it cannot connect to the device.

1) did you download the desktop software from the same site as the cab file? There are a number of versions of the desktop software and they are not all compatable.
2) have you completed the setup on the handheld before you active sync to your PC? ie do you have the Blue BB indicator on the bottom right corner of the today screen? If it is there what does it indicate BB, Bx, B! If its not there then you need to set it up. On your handheld go ... Start>Settings>System>Blackberry select services you want (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes) then 'next'. Select the 'connection' (hopefully this is already set to blackberry) then 'next' and finally the device will 'prepare for first use' then ask to reset. following the reset the BB indicator should be on the today screen, then try to connect to your PC, Activesync, BB desktop connect and 'configure device'

1) The desktop software was downloaded from the same Dopod Australia site as the CAB file.
2) Setup was completed on the handheld and it indicated B! on the bottom right. Everything has been setup as you mentioned however following the reset the desktop connect is still unable to access the device when you click on "Configure device". ActiveSync works fine.

I'm fast running out of ideas....
1) are you using BBConnect 4.0.0.90 on Black Majik? I am not sure this version works on Majik. However I do have it working on Black X Beta 2.
2) B! means either blocked or suspended (no connection). click on the B! and check the Status Tab what is the text after the word Service: (If its Suspended by user then click the resume button). Then select the Identity tab, is the PIN shown? If not then uninstall & reinstall BB Connect on the device.
3) On the blackberry Connect Desktop app, can you check the version? Is it 4.0.0.17 ?. If not then get it from here... http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/activesync_bbconnect_desktop_setup_4.0.0.17.zip
4) Is your active sync V4.5?

1) I am running BBConnect v4.0.0.67 on Black Majik as I heard it does not work with Black Satin.
2) Service: Not connected and the Resume button is greyed out. The PIN is showing in the Identity Tab.
3) I am runing BB Connect Desktop v4.0.0.17
4) I am running ActiveSync v4.5

got me buggered! (B!)
Last thing I can think of is that the Black Majik version you have is not 'hex-edited' for BB.
you might want to try Blackberry connect 4.0.0.90 (google it for the location)

Is there a way to check if the version of Black Majik I am running has been edited for BB?
I will try BBConnect v4.0.0.90 now.

I'm not sure how to tell whats hex edited and whats not (no doubt there is something on this site that explains it).
Black X beta 2 is really stable and BBC 4.0.0.90 definetly works with this. If you can't get it to run on Majik, consider heading to the X ROM.

Okay, I have installed Black X Beta 2 with BBC 4.0.0.90 and now it works fine.
I have used BBC to sync my contacts, calender, task and notes and ActiveSync is not being used to sync any of those. Once BBC syncs all my info, my appointments tab disappeared from the Today screen and going into the Today screen settings, the appointment option cannot be found.
Another thing I noticed is that my contacts is displaying Last Name, First Name. How do I change this to First Name, Last Name?
Thank you very much for all your help.

PLEASE Help me with MULTIPLE APN!!!!!!

Hi,
I have HTC TP2.WinMo 6.1
I am a user of PUSHMAIL from Etisalat(U.A.E). The service provider provides pushmail software for using pushmail. the software uses the seperate access point i.e. pushmail and for using internet, the accesspoint is different.
I want to use internet and wants Pushmail to be always connected simultaneously, i.e. internet and pushmail should work together.
here is the help and explanation from HTC Customer care:
Settings of the Direct Push Mail for Etisalat: Kindly note that there's a small problem in the software that Etisalat has released, and this problem is that you can't choose the default modem or network that you are connected to, thus you have to make the modem of the Push mail the default modem of all programs on the device. And as long as you can't connect to two modems at the same time, you won't be able to use the GPRS (internet) at the same time with the Direct Push Mail. The solution for this problem is to manually switch between the Direct Push Mail modem (GPRS.ae) and the GPRS modem (Etisalat.ae), (or incase of smart phones, switch between the Direct Push Mail Network(Etisalat Push Mail) and the GPRS Network) and this might be acceptable because you have to be connected to the Push Mail 24/7 while you only use GPRS and internet browsing for a couple of hours.
• Go to http://www.etisalat.ae/pushmail and click on the "Download Client/Software" icon OR Directly go to http://personal.pushmail.ae/download
• Choose the model of HTC Mobile, or even the closest one (All PDA's have the same software) • Download the software (a Zipped file almost 2.5 MB) and install it on your device using the Activesync.
• To install the software on the device, go to start ProgramsFile explorer, and search there for the file that you have just installed (You'll find it in the same place that you copied the file to from the PC)
• Tap on the Zipped file, and it will automatically start installing (Choose Memory card if available as a location for installing it)
• After installing with the required language, the phone should be restarted.
• After Restarting the phone, go to start Programs Etisalat Push Mail (The green icon of Etisalat)
• If you are asked for an "Access Point Name", Choose "Push mail" from the list you have.
• If you didn't find "Push Mail" in the list, or if you are not asked for an access point please do the following:
• Tap Start Settings Connections Tab Connections.
• You'll find 2 tabs; tasks and Advanced, tap the Advanced Tab.
• Tap "Select Networks".
• Under "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using", Select the default network that you use for the GPRS Service, and tap Edit.
In the Modems Tab, tap New.
• Enter any name for this connection (for example: Etisalat PushMail)
• Under "Select a modem", select "Cellular line (GPRS)", and tap Next.
• Under the "Access Point Name", write GPRS.ae, and tap Next.
• Leave the Username, Password, and Domain blank, and tap Finish.
• You'll return back to the modems tab where you have a table of "Name / Number", long press the modem you've entered till a drop down menu appears "Delete / connect", and choose connect.
• After connecting to the correct modem, choose whether you want to set up a personal Email or a corporate email, and enter all required fields for your mail.
Someone please help me to make both internet and pushmail work at the same time on my htc tp 2.
