Outlook Contact's sync. & WiFi - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Hello to everybody, newbee here, it's my first WM .
Dear friends I've just received my TC, lovin it, but, there is something which I don't understand:
1) I've 829 contacts in my Outlook 2003, of course, they're managed by categories, why I can't find a solution to syncronize ONLY certain categories? Is it normal that I'm forced to sync the whole lot? Am I doing something wrong or do I've to install any other sw?
2) My WiFi is configured as "internet" and even if I disable "data connection", each time that I ask to download updated weather info, it keeps connecting via GPRS no matter if the WiFi is available and plenty of signal. Anybody here can tell me a step by step procedure to have this working ONLY in WiFi?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Over-the-air sync

Can someone please help to do over-the-air sync with Qtek 9100.
I have been trying for this a long time and never got it working.
Thank you,
Florian
Wi-Fi synching has been removed frm Activesynch 4.0 onwards by MS due to security concerns. That'll be why you can't get it to work.
If you want to synch using Bluetooth then search the forum as this has been discussed in length on several threads
Thank you for your prompt answer.
I was looking for internet sync thru Wifi or GPRS/Edge.
Is there another app out there that can do the job?

I believe some one has released a free patch to override the 'Wifi syncing in AS 4.0'. I don't have the file handy- but will try and post later if the original poster still wants it.
I've not tried it myself since I'm still using WM2003 and AS 3.8.
I would love the patch to enable WiFI active sync if someone could post it. cheers.

well, it seems to be a solution:
http://www.airscanner.com/downloads/airfix/airfix.html
didn't try it by myself, so - no idea if it's usable and functional. but - always one more option ;-)
cheers,

Yes, that's the same link that I got the patch from.
Maybe someone can try it out and post back results?
Actually, just read the text from the link and it quotes the following:
"Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection. Rather, it is a tool that allows you to enable the wireless network after you are already synced with the PC (e.g. with a USB ActiveSync connection)."
Perhaps not what people were looking for after all...
I am currently trying to set up the app.
Expect a post shortly.
Did not find a way to make it work.
Also their download page states :
Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection.
As I doubt they have a solution...
You can sync over the air via GPRS or WiFi to an Exchange Server without a problem, I do it everyday; to a PC I don't now if it's possible anymore.
The Airfix app is designed to prevent active sync closing your current wifi conex, nothing more. This will allow software developers to debug network code and allow you to keep a wireless connection whilest you sync. Most home users will use activesync passthrough from their pc->internet rather than wifi-> internet and so notice no difference

Active Sync DNS Cache

Hi @all,
does anybody know how to disable the DNS Caching of the PDA Active Sync Part. (or to shorten the DNS Caching down to 1-2h)
I use a DynDNS for my Exchange Server and therefore the service has every day its new IP address. On my Herold I have to kill every morning the Active Sync Prozess and restart it to get Active Sync to make a new DNS Address resolution.
The same issue if I want to sync at home via Cradle or WLAN with my Exchange Server, because on the internal LAN the Exchange Server has a different IP than from the Internet Side.
Its very annoying to restart the Actvice Sync Prozess on the Herold a couple of times per day. (Don´t want to talk about my girl friend, impossible to explain her what to do and why *g*)
Would be great if somebody knows how to solve that issue.
At the moment I have this ideas
1. Force Active Sync to resolve the IP adress for the Exchange server every 1-2h without a restart of the process on the pda
I don´t have a clue how to do that
2. automatically restart active sync on the pda every morning 5.a.m
I don´t know a tool to make this based on the time
3. Force my Girlfriend to restart Active Sync manually
Please believe me, its impossible
Many Thanks in advance for your answers.
Bene
PS: I love this forum, I found answers for all my questions here in the past.

Windows Live email problems w/ WiFi

I can not figure out how to make windows live email connect over the WiFi connection...the internet and Gmail and even windows live search will connect over WiFi but when I try to set up or use windows live email it tries to connect to Cingular’s GPRS
Any help would be much appreciated
Sorry for starting a redundant thread...here is the original - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296181

Automatic Outlook Mail/Exchange Synchronizer [rk-OSR] [Latest Update: 15 OCT 2007]

rk-OSR version 1.0.10 Automatic windows mobile outlook mail and exchange active synchronizer.
Here is a application I developed for my personal use now sharing with you all for non commercial use.
I basically use this utility to check emails from multiple email accounts from my windows mobile device using the wifi, gprs networks
You can even perform Exchange Active Sync too!
Feature list
Works on windows mobile 5 and 6.
Can sync up multiple email accounts at multiple schedules setup.
Can perform Exchange Active Sync.
Connect using: Wi-Fi only, Wi-Fi if not GPRS, Manual Wi-Fi, Gprs Only or Existing connection(USB)
Switch off GPRS/3G after sync
Option not to sync during Saturdays and Sundays
Get notified on emails or failed attempts
Get notified with custum sound(wav files).
Keeps device 'Alive' till all the accounts have been synchronized.
Supports 'Silent' mode.
Supports command line initiation.
Supports one touch* email checking(one touch on the shortcut connects to wi-fi network and switches between accounts and synchronizes and then hangs up wi-fi)
Can be set to sync only if device sleeping.
Does not write anything to registry.
Does not run in background.(works on notifications)
You can uninstall the application from ‘Remove programs’ and delete the application directory.
Installation:
Install the cab file attached below
After installation launch the program rk-OSR from the programs and go thru each tab page to configure it and finally save the settings (make sure the Enable check box is checked) test the functionality if working properly. Then close the application. Now the sync should happen at next specified schedule.
*One touch synchronization: A Very good feature for people checking mail manually, so that you do not have to switch accounts and click the sync menu each time or start/stop wifi etc, just one click to do that now. You can also assign this shortcut to hardware buttons. The new install adds a new program icon called ‘rk-OSR-Now’ to your programs list. But you need to do the following procedure done before attempting ‘rk-OSR-Now’ shortcut.
You should configure the ‘rk-OSR’, and make sure it is working properly and you are able to synchronize your accounts properly.
You must edit the shortcut, rk-OSR-Now; add additional text “Now” without quotes. Basically your target should read as below
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Now
Hope it is simple to configure.
I have been using it on TyTn with WM6.
By the way this is my first WM application!
Code:
Following command lines supported
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Now ---> Checks the mail manually
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Enable --> Enables the rk-OSR
"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Disable --> Disables the rk-OSR
Update: 1.0.10
Added better file browser to locate the *.wav files
Fixed the bug with the 'Wait time to Sync'
Email.zip is a sound wav file 'You got mail' (ofcourse female voice! )
Note: this application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.
New: If you want 'Push Like Mail' support please follow the application link to rk-SMS Switch
How to info for rk-SMS Swich with rk-OSR here
If you like the application please show your support by donation on Paypal
Download from here
Looks like this post of mine pushed down too fast because of the WM6 release(Wrong timing )
So i am just bumping my post up.
Anyone has any feedback?
I have synchronization problems whith gprs connection and activesync.
I try it you software....
Thank you.

If you have synchronization problems already the rk-OSR might not work for you.
rk-OSR just schedules the outlook synchonizations, all the sync logic is on the outlook, not in rk-OSR
First you have to fix the problem with your sync, then only you could use rk-OSR
HTH
rk-OSR Update 1.0.1(One touch sync)
Please read the first post for the updated information and the cab file.
tytnguy - I'll try the app and get back here.
the idea sounds solid and do sync manually, so thx for the app allready
Keep up the good work in making life better for everyone
Update 1.0.2
There was a bug..
If you used Wifi to sync then any subsequent attempt to switch on wifi using the communication manager would fail(till soft reset )
Its fixed in version 1.0.2 now
I'm not sure why this app is not getting more attention, i mean syncing over wi-fi, isnt that what everyone has been cribbing out ever since AS4/WM5 came out??
neways, thnx for the app, will try it out..
let me see if I understand this app correctly before testing it :
At a given schedule it will turn on wifi
Synch
disconnect wifi
Right ?
What if im not at home at the time, so dont have wifi, will it default to GPRS ?
What happens to the schedule I have allready set in activesync ?
Right now i have just scheduled in active synch. So it uses either wifi provided I turned it on when i got home or if not turned on, GPRS.

Question:
Hi there tytnguy, I've got a question:
I'd like to use your app; I have an exchange account for work; but for my private mail I use the Outlook Mobile. The problem is that when I set it to sync every 30 minutes or so; it keeps doing that during the night; waking me (an the misses) every time someone tries to sell me Viagra, Russian brides or weight-loss pills.
The times you enter in the "schedule-tab"; are those the exact times that the app will sync? Or are those the times between which the "outlook-Mobile schedule" will be active?
BTW: looks brilliant for a first-timer!

Sure, in active sync, in the email properties you can say check for new mail every 4 hours or2 hours etc.., and determine settiings for peek, and off peek days/times.
It then checks if i have new email according to this, using either wifi provided I leave it on, or gprs if wifi is off.

Brilliant! I just had it sync; works like a charm!
The only thing: the device wakes up. Any change of performing the actions in the background? So the screen doesn't come on?

Are you able to setup the network configurations to use Wifi and if not available then to use GPRS?
I am not able to do it on my TyTn?
I dont think I setup anything specific really...
If Wifi is avaialble and the phone is connected to my acees point at home it uses wifi to connect to the internet and so on
If its not, it goes through connecting to the net via GPRS
Im running WM6 by the way.

sync over network impossible? (Activesync Filesync Ethernet synchronize)

Hi all,
I just bought an HTC Universal. Till now I had an old Wallaby and I thought it would be time to get up to date and join the great new future of mobile devices. Since the Xperia X1 is not on the market yet I decided to buy this Universal for the meantime. I didn't want to wait anymore.
Now I think I'll have go back to the old times
I couldn't believe it but it seems to be completely impossible to keep some files in sync without a cable these days!!!
Am I the only person on the world who wants to edit a simple Word document while I'm on the road?! Shouldnt that be the most basic mobility you would expect from such a device these days?!
Is it possible that even with the expensive evel Exchange Server you can't sync files, only contacts, calenders and appointments?!
If anybody has a solution or alternative or workaround PLEASE tell me! I was searching for days now and didn't find anything
Bluetooth is always a possibility.
1.: When I say "on the road" I'm not talking about 10 meters away from my Workstation. To walk around in a circle of ten meters is not mobility for me
2.: Bluetooth (XP)+Activesync doesn't work with Ranjus last ROM. Only with other ROMs which then don't allow to run Skype. So I had to decide: Skype or Bluetooth.
Hi there,
I think you got something wrong;
1. Exchange Active Sync is ONLY Exchange Active Sync.
So need to put your word document in an email as attachment. This is NOT Filesync. Never was ...
What you need to do is accessing your network via GPRS/UMTS ... (e.g. vpn) and browse a network share, get a document and edit it. Beware, this means an enourmous amount of data to be transfered. Be sure to have a mobile flatrate.
2. Though Bluetooth isn't an option for you, you should not complain about roms you decided to use on your own. Go and get the original rom. You can use Bluetooth AND Skype with it.
BTW: Xperia will NOT solve your problem, you definitely need vpn for what you want to do. Or, sync your files via bluetoth while in the office and edit on the road. Send back to the office by mail ...
Best regards,
Yea, use a VPN or use a FTP or use another HostingTool.
I use my own FTP with ssl, works well fine with Resco Explorer+FTP Plugin,TotalCommander Mobile,Orneta FTP,....
