Diamond2 changing my birthdays and holidays - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else seen this, when i look on the phone calendar all the birthdays and bank holidays have been brought forward a day. Xmas day now the 24th Boxing day the 25th. I'm now scared to use activesync in case it then changes everything in outlook.

My guess is that this has to do with different time-zones. In march several appointments shifted one hour on my old device. Damn you MS!
If you're scared about your PC Outlook, back your database up before connecting the D2. It's a .pst file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

This problem ?

All my birthdays and holliday in the contacts of my diamond 2 are shown a day to early aswell. In Exchange my weddingday is 26 september 2007 but in my phone it says 25 september 2007. This happens with all birthdays and holidays. Hope someone find a fix soon. Date and time settings on my phone are the same as my exchange 2007. And outlook 2007 displays them correct aswell.

I don't think it is a D2 issue because I used to get that problem on my cruise. I decided it was something to do with syncing the data with either google calendar or activesync.

i think that is has to do with regionals settings.My topaz did the same and i changed the regional settings and the time zone,deleted the pim file and i syncronized again.The problem solved.

How to delete the PIM file? Or should I just setup exchange active sync all over again?

All i did to fix this was delete my activesync settings on the phone. Make sure all the birthdays and holidays were correct in outlook. Some were, some had been changed then re-enterd my server details details. Its been OK since.

Reconfigured active sync and all seems well now. Thanks.

as i use an exchange account just like psa.verstraten.
I wonder if its to do with touchflow, i always turn it off, but my problems seemed to happen after having a play with it the other day. The problems were still there tho after i'd turned it back off.

Activesync, Outlook and Kaiser Calendar Issue...

Hi,
I have a extensive calendar in Outlook 2007 - which synced perfectly to my Kaiser...without any problem.
Recently, I ended up rearranging my calender and then re-synced the phone - like a normally have been doing for the last month.
The funny part is that now, the updated calendar is synced to the phone, but after the sync..all the old entries are still visible in Outlook 2007...
does anyone know what is going on?
thanks.

Outlook 2007 & Activesync Major Headache

Ok probably asked loads but had a search and couldn't seem to find anything that matched my problem,
I have a kaiser tilt and i use outlook 2007 i have got all my outlook contacts and appointments on the pc but when i connect the device it syncs the files and stuff but not my contacts or appointments.But it does sync from the phone as in i made a test contact and a test appointment on my phone connected the phone and bam it was there in outlook.But going from pc to phone is another matter and its driving me insane anyone care to offer wise words ?
Little Update it now syncs the appointments made on both the phone and the computer but still only copies contacts from the phone to outlook and won't go from computer to phone on the contacts part which is driving me up the wall and yes the box for contacts is ticked on the sync list .
sorry if this seems a little silly
but have you checked active syc settings?
making sure your contacts and calender are checked?
Yeah, check settings on the phone to make sure contacts are being pushed over, also do you have an exchange acct set up with a separate outlook sync account? If so you'll only be able to sync contacts from one source, not both.
USB to PC Connections
Do you have USB to PC in Connections checked. Sometimes either checking it or unchecking will solve sync problems.
Yep i have in sync and outlook and on the phone all seems fine,little update i have now installed Outlook 03 and its working fine.Must be a dodgy issue with activ and Outlook but i now have another problem but just with outlook i can't get rid of the old email account from 07 its just like (says my email were you click and it expands ) but it wnt expend and says how to remove it when you go to remove it its not available to remove kinda like a glitch i spose any ideas ?

Have you (on your phone) done, Start/Programs/Activesync (depending on ROM might be elsewhere)/Menu/Choose what to sync? This needs to be done w/ the phone currently un-synced!

You put outlook 03 on w/ 07? what does that mean?

I have Outlook 03 installed along with Office 07
well... you should stay with outlook 03 with office 03 or outlook 07 with office 07. having outlook 03 and office 07 will cause you problems in the long run as outlook 03uses word 03 as its editor (unless u use outlooks lame editor), all office apps in general are closely tied to one another and will cause problems later down the road if you mismatch versions. your best bet is to stick with either the whole suite of office 03 or the whole suite of office 07.
as for your problem, are you using the activesync cd from the box that came with your phone? i do believe the tilt came out before 07 which means you proably have an older version of activesync. you can download the newest version of activesync from microsoft's website (as far as i know, 07 was written completely different from 03 so activesync may not be handling syncing correctly). also, since 07 is relatively new, make sure you get all your updates when you install office 07

Activesync Calendar Syncing Issue

OK, this just started for me. Yesterday, after entering a couple of appointments into my Tilt, I was able to sync to a MS Exchange Server wirelessly everything EXCEPT those 2 appointments. Mail/contacts work fine. Just not new appointments. However, I can enter them directly into Outlook 2003 and they sync back to the Tilt. No new appointment, re-occurring or not, with or without notes/reminders/attachments syncs. they are reflected on the Tilt, just won't sync. When connected via USB, I get the no help "Support Code 1" error.
My ROM/Radio/Hard SPL info is in my signature. Win XP (I don't know what service pack the server is, but no changes that have occured that coincide), Active Sync is 4.5.0. Death V.4 does have Thumbcal installed by default which, in an effort to resolve, switched to the standard calendar program. I also (in no particular order):
1. ran scanpst.exe on PC
2. ran detect and repair in Outlook
3. did Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\ole32.dll
4. deleted and reconfigured relationship in Activesync
5. changed the durations of the past appointments AND
6. searched to no end XDA and the net for a solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated. TIA!!
-Sign into OWA check if all is ok.
-On your desktop, do the same in outlook
-Create a test appointment with notes on OWA and see if it sync with your desktop calendar.
*If it sync you're good and you may have to contact your exchange host to see if there's been any changes in your exchange setup settings for your device.
*If the sync fails, create a new outlook profile on your desktop. It's a possibilty you profile is corrupt. Any part of outlook can be corrupt and not effect outlook as a whole. In your case, your calendar isn't functioning properly.
-Also...if you had your exchange account for a while, check the personal folder file size. It can hold up to 1.96 gb but at around 1.75, 1.8 gb ... outlook may do some weird things. If this is the case, you need to start archiving.
Hope this helps.
My background on topic:
I used to do tech support for Honeywell where 80% were exchange email related. Most of the users used Blackberrys and a handfull of windows mobile users. I provided telephone & remote support with Landesk & Remote Desktop.
Thanks! I will check in the morning. After posting this I noticed that one of my PST was well into 2 gigs. I am in the process of moving stuff around and hopefully can get it to be a more reasonable size. Lots of rules to adjust. . . .

OK, no luck. Entered an appointment with note in OWA, which synced fine with desktop. Adjusted pst size down to 1 gig, deleted and created a new profile in Outlook. Hard reset Tilt, contacted IT at work and no changes to Exchange Server. IT said contact ATT to see if it is something on their end, but I don't see how that could be.
This is a disaster for me.
I really need to have this working.
edit: One more interesting facet: if I just sync the calendars via USB (i.e. deselect MS Exchange and select "this PC"), syncing occurs. This is entirely related to the wireless component of syncing the calendar. Weird . . .
edit 2: well, flahed Duttys Hybrid, and all was good. Reflashed Death V4 and problem returned. Switched over to L26 KaiserDiamond V9 and problem resolved. NO FRIGGIN IDEA WHY. Thanks DWNY for the help, though. I suspect that my Exchange Server has something against Shogunmark.

Glad I could help ... somewhat.
What ever you do, do not upgrade to IE8 especially if you update your calendar with OWA. The new appointment will show up in your calendar but if you've created notes .... the won't sync to your phone.
Other browsers will show OWA in basic mode with only text entries, no HTML support.
Just a tid bit to share .....
ROMeOS 3.1 has worked great for me.
I'm a heavy Outlook user myself. These days I run my own IT Sub-Contracting company and do all my scheduling via OWA.

Anybody? would love some help!
Not sure if anyone is still having this issue, but the fix for Calendar items created on device not syncing up to Exchange (but sync no problem from Exchange to device), do the following:
1. Go to Start/Settings/Clock & Alarm
2. Change your Time Zone to another zone, and OK.
3. Go into ActiveSync on device, and sync with exchange
4. Go back to Clock & Alarm and change your time zone back to appropriate time zone
5. sync with ActiveSync again.
Problem should be resolved. Has worked for me many of times.
Thanks!

[Q] HD7 & Windows Live Calendar

Wondering if anyone can help!
Synced my outlook calendar across to the windows live one so that it would show up on handset which it does.
I decided to import some old calendar entries from up to two years ago into my windows live calendar which show up OK on my PC windows live calendar but they have never synced over to my HD7 windows live calendar.
Becoming a bit of a mystery as all my new appointments sync over OK to mobile.
There may be a setting to limit how far back to sync. There is for email.
I’m not syncing a calendar so can't check for you but go into your phone's Windows Live settings.
Well, I have gone into Windows Live settings on mobile and there is an option for email which I have now changed from 1 month to anytime so now all my hotmail emails have synced all the way back in time to my handset.
There seems to be no option for calendar entries so we seem to have no control over this, I hope I am wrong though. Anyway my old calendar entries still have not synced over to mobile which is a pity.
Check Windows Live to see if there's a setting there.
Checked Windows Live, still nothing there settings wise.
Same Problem
I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.
Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.
Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.
Has anyone facing sync issues?
Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.
I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.
Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.
Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?
It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.
I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7
Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?
yes you can get past appointments also.
just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.
it worked with me

Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.
Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.
Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)
Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.
Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.
Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.
YT
update from my post above...
I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.
Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...
1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...
2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.
The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now
Can anyone help please?
