Activesync and Outlook in Qtek S200-PROBLEM!!!

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with synchronizing my contacts, calendar, tasks etc. When I start Active sync, it synchronizes all the files (music, photos, etc) and programs but could not synchronize outlook!! I reinstalted several times Microsoft Outlook 2002 (which was on the getting started CD) but it doesn't help. When the synchronization is over, the following message appears, when I click on the Exchange message: "The server could not be reached.This can be caused by temporarly network conditions. Support code: 80072ee2"
On my PC, I use Outlook Express 6.0, maybe it's not compatibile with the MO 2002??
Also, I don't see any ikon of the MO 2002, I could not open it on my PC ( could not find it), but in the folder of Add/Delete programs is present (192 MB)!
The message on my device is: Exchange Server Synchronized: None.
I really don't have any idea what should I do to synchronize properly all the information.
Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and could share the experience.
I would be very grateful!!
Hi marbron!
First thing you need to do is sort out the Outlook installation on your PC. If you can not open it, it is not properly installed. Since you can't sync with express, you have to let Outlook 2002 replace it as your default mail program.
Second, when you created a partnership in ActiveSync, you must have chosen to sync with Exchange server directly (first V you get).
When device is not connected, go to File->Delete mobile device, then connect you device and create a new partnership. Make sure you uncheck 'Synchronize with Exchange server directly' on the first page.
Hope this helps.
I don't know why I still have problem with the Outlook. I delated the program and reinstaled it again, I delated the device on Active Sync and connected the device. The message was, that I could synchronize only files, music etc and not contacts, calendar, task because I don't have Outllook instaled...
During the set up wizard of Outllok there is a funny message, that the program will instal the following aplications: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and there is a red cross with (not available), but when I click:instal it does it properly only in one moment the system message appears: you don't have a disc inside, please insert disc (the disc is of course there!!). I have to click several times on continue and then the message disappears... Of course, again I can't find the program on my PC, only it appears on add/delate programs.
I really don't understand it. Maybe the version of Office that I have (Microsoft Office 2000 premium 9.0.2812) somehow creating a problem.... Or maybe the program on my official CD has problem (I don't think so, because Active Sync from the same CD is working ok)...
I really don't know what I should do.
Any ideas???? :idea:
So, any idea?? Could somebody suggest me what should I do???
Please!!!
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I can't sync my PDA at all now. It used to work ok but starting 10 days ago it simply stopped. The only think I did was using the Internet Connection Sharing applet. After using this applet - no sync at all. And the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in Windows XP displays a stupid message; see atachment.
marbron: It sounds to me like your CD may be damaged or dirty so some parts of it (namely the ones with Outlook) are not readable.
Try cleaning it and the drive.
In any case you should also delete the partnership from PPC side before establishing a new one.
Innovative: Internet sharing disables ActiveSync but should restore it when deactivated.
Did you try to reset your device? If you are using an unofficial ROM this may be a bug and you may have to hard reset.
Also how are you using WMDC under XP? It was my understanding that thing is for Vista only.
Any way, try AS 4.5 and see if that works better for you.

Because or requirements at my job, we don't use Outlook. We use SyncML to sync contacts and calendar events with our internal server. Really nice being able to sync without hooking ot a computer and anyplace you have GPRS / WiFi access.
Here's a post where I put some info and links about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1159992&postcount=4
i need an exactly same like palm desktop to sync my contact and calender when sync with usb cable
zzzzzzzzzzzz
any 1 have third party software that can sync contact to desktop to view and edit??
i have try uninstall outlook 2003 and activesync 4.5 many time, and the result remain the same
I have had the ActiveSync problem since 10/2006 and have not found a resolution yet. I have posted on this forum, tried all suggestions and tried everything except a Hard Reset. I still cannot get my Desktop or Laptop to recognize my MDA via ActiveSync even though my Desktop and Laptop recognize my MDA. I have asked for 3rd party software to update my Outlook address book and calendar and have not found anything. I have even asked if there is software to update/change the MDA PIM.VOL file via a desktop or laptop. Still no luck. I have researched this out and checked all possible sites. NO LUCK. I still have not given up. I continue to look daily for a solution other than a Hard Reset.
So, you are not alone. There are many of us out there. ActiveSync is a very poor application. Maybe someday we will find something to use instead of AS. The only think that is missing in the AS is the last 'S'.
Hey friends,
I dont know if this reply is useful for you. I am so new to this forum. I am using a Motorola Mpx220, but gonna get my Cingular 8125 within a couple of days. Anyways, when I was syncing my Mpx, I had the same problem. The solution I found out was(after a long research), while the phone is still connected to the computer, go to Start -> Accessories -> Modem link. In that "USB" connection, make it active and then deactivate. As soon as you do this your active sync will detect the phone and it will sync smoothly.
I have no idea why is it happening like this nor I dont know if it works with MDA coz my Mpx220 is running on WM 2003 SE. I can only check WM 5 after I get my 8125. If this reply help you guys in anyways, please let me know.
Thanks mates.....

So there is no third party "phone manager" like for example Oxygen Phone Manager for Symbian phones ?
Contacts backup without outlook
Try " Jeyo Mobile Companion" . Google for it. It can save the contacts + call log as well as SMS on your comp. You can restore/ update the it any time It doesnt sync though. Just use it for back up purposes. Very hand. You still need to connect that phone to the comp. and AS to recognize your device.
Trust this helps
I assume that I can backup my PIM.VOL file on my 2Gb Storage Card. I have not had to reinstall the PIM.VOL file so I don't know if it really will work. However, I still would like to find an application that will allow me to update/change my Contacts and Calendar without using ActiveSync. Bottom line, why can't we find something that can do this without using AS since we are having problems on using AS? I have used Palms since day 1 and other things without as much problems as AS.

asctony,
AFAIK, you still need AS to connect the PPC to any PC ( I cud be wrong). What you can do is to set AS not to sync your contacts and others and use another 3p software to update / modify contatcts. The prog - Jeyo mobile companion does just that + back up your SMS too. Which is very crucial, in many cases as they cannot be backed up through the regular way.

Dual Synchronisation

Apologies if a similar thread has already been started - please direct me!
The single biggest improvement I could see in a Mobile PDA now would be to enable 'dual synchronisation'. In effect to have 2 seperate sets of data within a single device.
Currently I have to carry 2 devices at all times - 1 which syncs with Work via Exchange, and a home phone which syncs with my home PC.
These have 2 seperate diaries, sets of email accounts, contacts, tasks etc.
It is not currently possible within Windows Mobile 6.1 to sync with 2 different PCs without ending up duplicating every appointment etc.
I understand the iphone can do this to a certain degree, but is anyone aware of a way to do it on Windows Mobile?
The Problem is th WM 6.1. The WM 6.0 works fine. I have two computers too, and on the one I have Vista and the other habe XP. And that`s works.
I don`t know how, but it works.
For me it works. I have wm6.1 and i have home laptop with vista and work laptop with xp. In my sync profile on PDA there are two sync profiles created one is Home PC and one is Work PC and it syncronises eveyrthing i tell to do. You will have problem with appointments for example duplication but for that you choose what to sync and how. PC to phone, or phone to PC and avoid duplication. Also you can use tools like SKtools to remove duplicate events / contacts etc... hope it helps

How do you do this? I have searched and can't find any way of setting up more than 1 sync profile on the PDA. I must be missing something...
Cheers,
Jim.
thinking back, when i connected my PPC to my works PC it said do you want to maintain a second Sync profile, i said no as all i wanted was to transfer files but you should be prompted.
I use a service called funambol, to sync contacts and calendar between my 2 outlook clients and then use exchange sync one of them to my phone

Lotus notes @ HTC calendar sync?

is it possible, how?
thnx
p.s. sorry if there is a thread, i tryed to search but didnt find anything..
Hi, I'm not entirely sure what your question is as your post title is not clear.
But, if you want to sync Lotus "Nuts" (I hate it but have it in the office) with the HD2 then Easy Sync Pro from IBM works quite well. It does do contacts (without photos) and calendar and tasks OK.
There is also a "Traveller " program for Lotus that claims to sync but I have not tried it.
XTNDConnect PC (6.5) works fine for me (with Lotus Notus 8)

Take XTND V7.xx it works.
Lotus Notes still exists?
I thought people used a real groupware server -- Exchange.
My work use Lotus Notes Traveller, its pretty good, the managers and directors can use it on there S740 Rose and Touch Diamond 2s.... So its gotta be easy to use, updates calendar on the phone also and notifies of meetings.
Thanks for the reply!
I uninstalled everything again and then it worked fine with xtnd connect v6.0.
Yesterday I got the 7.1 release, installed it and everything works fine now.
The only problem is that when i sync my emails the programm syncs them but into th outlook inbox. So I can´t reach them via the softkey and have to change the folder to outllok inbox everytime i want to have a llok at my emails.
Is there anything to adjust to view them on the email screen?
Thanks for your help!
