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?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Aslher:
I have synchronization problems whith gprs connection and activesync.

I try it you software....

Thank you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
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
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
rk-OSR Update 1.0.1(One touch sync)

Please read the first post for the updated information and the cab file.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aeroke:
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 ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
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:eek: )

Its fixed in version 1.0.2 now :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shantzg001:
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..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] damase:
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.

thks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Yes It does.

Right now i do not have that functionality, but I will look in to that possiblilty

I am not clear on the above. Can you explain a bit more?

Thanks

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!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
:) :) I know its not funny

Exact time on which you want the schedule to occur.

Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stynos:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Do you mean the time the sync will occur?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Sorry about the typo.

I meant to say 'Exact time the synchronization will occur' :)

Quick answer.. Yes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] damase:
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.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stynos:
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?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
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?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] damase:
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.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stynos:
You only use exchange?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] damase:
yes only exchange
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dovetech:
Thank You

Problem 2 solved - my stupidity – hopefully the solution to my 1st problem will be just as easy.

Many Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Thanks :)

At work, you use the gprs to connect to internet?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dovetech:
Internet ASDL via USB Cradle

No, it's an Axim X51v - I use standard internet via the USB cradle (and the desktop machine it's connected to).

It won't connect to the VPN when it's connected to the work network, if we had WIFI in the office it would have no problem syncing (but we don't)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Try this...

Keep your connection settings to 'My work network'

In rk-OSR keep the settings 'Wifi and Default'

In this case at office rk-OSR should try for wifi network first if not connected then should use your usb connection.

See if that works.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dovetech:
VPN Problems

It works for all my POP accounts however when it come to the exchange account it says "VPN server problems" plus it then will not sync my contacts, calendar and tasks via activesync (it say sever cannot be reached).

I am pretty sure that it is due to the VPN (e.g. 84.89.104.116) not being accessible whilst on the work domain however you can connect when remote – just wondered if I could get the PDA to auto switch rather then me switching it twice a day (or if any one knows of an application that will do this).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] feathers:
PhoneWeaver from SBSH will do that for you, if that's the route you wish to take. It will only handle one VPN setup I believe, but as that's all you have it shouldn't be an issue for you.

Personally, I use that to start and stop rk-OSR functionality since I can only use it at home.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dovetech:
Almost Works

Tried PhoneWeaver (great little app) however this will only change "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" not "programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using" (both under network management) - it is the private network that I need to change to connect at both locations. Any more ideas/apps?

exchange server

hello...having a hard time synching with my exchange server...anyone help me out? I can access it from the web through outlook web access. my company does not support private pdas, so, is there a way to synch with the info that i use to log onto outlook web access? this was the entire reason for buying the HTC mogul, and i'm going to be terribly upset if I can't.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sane:
Hey TyTnGuy, did you move to Kaiser? Im having some sync problems with RK-OSR and Kaiser. No matter what the settings are, it doesent seem to wake up or sync silently when Kaiser is sleeping. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
hmm... I do not have Kaiser to test it out. Looks like Kaiser does not recognize the wake up commands. Have you tried the option 'Wake up while sync' option?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sane:
I tested it more today and yes, the problem seems to be that RK-OSR cant wake the Kaiser up. If the "sync only if device is sleeping" is activated Kaiser wont sync at all. If that is not activated, it starts to make the scheduled sync the next time I wake up the device. This is quite annoying considering every time I wake the device up im about to do something with it, and its starts to sync all my accounts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sane:
Well this issue seems to a known problem in Kaiser pop email account syncing. There's a topic about it in the Kaiser section.

Sorry, it seems it has nothing to do with RK-OSR...

Strange issue with rk-OSR config

Hi Tytnguy,

Hope you are well. I was using rk-OSR, virtually with no any issues, for some time.

Couple of days ago I did hardreset my device and installed all applications anew, including rk-OSR. On the surface everything was well until the moment I decided to configure rk-OSR. Every time I try to save the changes I am getting following message:

"InvalidCastException While Save, Please Report this error"

Well, the above is the report.

BTW, after the hardreset I also installed rk-Sleep, I never used it before but decided to test the application. Firstly I got the above message trying to configure rk-Sleep, but decided not to bother, and later got the same on rk-OSR.

I have tryed uninstall/install rk-OSR and rk-Sleep -- the same

rk-OSR version I am running is: 1.0.10.26199

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Hi marttin,

Check the date format of your device, mostly this error occurs when you have some unrecognizable date format. True for both the applications rk-Sleep and rk-OSR.

Let me know if that is the issue.

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Hi Sane,

Sorry I could not respond to you earlier, been tied up with work :D .

But glad to know that your issue is fixed and nothing to do with rk-OSR

But thanks for the feedback.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marttin:
Hi Tytnguy,

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the problem was the date format. I have changed previously date separator from "/" into " " (space). Moved to using "-" and saving is just fine with both applications.

Thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] klsortem:
I downloaded the program and think its great, but at the current time its just not for me and I'm trying to uninstall it. When I do as your first post mentions though, use remove programs and delete the program folder, I get the following error when I soft-reset the device "cannot open program /blah/rk-osr.exe", and the phone (AT&T 8525 WM6) begins to run slow.

So I thought to myself if I reinstall it and just disable the program in options, that'll fix the error/slowness problem. That seems to have worked, but I'm curious if there's a step in the uninstallation that I've missed. I would prefer to completely remove the program to free up the memory if possible with just leaving it disabled as a workaround I can almost live with if need be.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Try this...

Disable rk-OSR and exit rk-OSR program..

Now uninstall rk-OSR from 'Remove Programs'

Delete the rk-OSR folder

Thanks

Great Program!

Hi Tytnguy,

Works perfect on my Artemis (XDA Orbit) - as it is so good should you 'list' it in another forum? - development and hacking???

I use it to check my emails while at home on WiFi - I find that 'push/as emails arrive' doesn't always work as it should (gprs seems fine! - I have also noticed that 'push' works better on WiFi after I have run your program once!) - so only use manual - therefore I make the following comments (Not criticism's!)

Should you 'ship' your 'now' shortcut with 'now' in it? - as more people use the program I can see regular support questions on it 'not' working

Why do you need to enter at least one sync time to save settings? I only want to start it manually - (I will hard button the now shortcut or start it with a phone profile in a 3rd party software[PA])

Could it to run in Stealth mode? ie run in the background or all windows minimized (I receive today screen plugin notifications of emails)

To solve time problems (more support questions!), could you set it to close after the last sync is finished?

Could you have a drop down box 'Sync every xx minutes after program enabled' with a drop down box for xx having options (eg) 5,10,15 20, 30, 45, 60?? (In time I may do this with mortscript!)

Is it an issue that you restart WiFi even when it is already on? I believe if WiFi is started via the driver (ie not through Comm manager) that you do not have power usage management - ie it drains the battery MUCH quicker. Therefore if you start WiFi by driver when it has already been started in Comm manager do we lose power management? UPDATE this can be solved by using Default connection - this also stops it turning WiFi off when it finishes

Could you add another command line switch to see info on last Sync (time/success etc) - screen popup

Please don't take any of these comments as anything other than feedback - it is a great little program!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] graemelisa:
Mortscript attached

This Script waits 1 minute initially (gives time for WiFi etc to start) - each time it then checks to see if the today screen is visible - ie I didn't want this to run if I was doing something else (unless it could run in the background!!) - It will then run 'Sync Now' every 10 minutes (edit the number 600000 - 300000 = 5 mins, 1200000 for 20 etc) for 5 hours (edit the mscr from 30 - up to lengthen, down to reduce)

It will also try and minimize the opened windows - doesn't work perfectly - I use a Run 'Show Today' exe which works better, but removed this from the code as you may not have it.

Obviously you must have mortscript for this to work. I do not need it but you could set the script to run (for eg) only if WiFi is on - or run only if you are connected to a particular WiFi network.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] :
This is just the sort of thing I'm looking for. I like the feature which automatically turns on WiFi, syncs then turns off WiFi. One question though... Can the sync be set to run every time I turn on my device or resume from standby? I want to be able to turn the device on and within a few seconds see if I have any new emails.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
opilion,

The sync every time system resumes from standby is not practical, as that would be simply annoyance that pda tries to check email every time device gets a wake up(such as incoming phone call, SMS, calendar notification etc).

But you could configure one of the hardware buttons to 'rk-OSR Now' link so that you can check mail on demand.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Thanks graemelisa for very important suggestions and feedback!

Due to my very hectic work schedule not able to spare time on this project. But probablly soon I will make up sometime to work on some of the features you have indicated above.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sd619:
How to edit shortcut?

I've never edited a shortcut in WM6 before, so I would like some information on how to make this change:

"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe" Now ---> Checks the mail manually

I have installed the rk-OSR in my storage card, so the location is:

"\Storage Card\"\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe"

How do I use the command line to add the Now text at the end of the address? I don't know how to get to a command line in WM6.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
When you have installed rk-OSR it would add a shortcut called 'rk-OSR Now'

But you have to first edit the above link as follows...

You need use resco explorer or any other file explorer(not the default microsoft file explorer)

Go to the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

Locate the link rk-OSR Now and go to the properties

Change the target from

"\Storage Card\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe"

->>

"\Storage Card\Program Files\rk-OSR\rk-OSR.exe Now"

Note just you are adding 'Now' at the end.

so now you should be able to perform the manuall sync using the link 'rk-OSR Now' link.

You can also assign this link to hardware button.

If you are still not able to get it working here is the link(zipped), unzip and copy it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ on your device

problems with syncing my axim

Hey Tytnguy, I am having problems syncing my Outlook email accounts over my wifi network, using AS 4.5 and an axim x51v running Footballs WM6 rom.It says..."Found network.......Internet connection found......Synchronizing Outlook email accounts.....Finished Synchronization....Successfully Finished." but the whole thing from beginning to end is only ever about 1 or 2 seconds long, and it doesn't sync at all. I am pretty sure that the very first time I tested the settings that it worked once, but not since.:(

I've tried changing "wait time to sync" settings and have installed the latest version. Any ideas? Its a real shame because this is the programme i've been looking for!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Not sure if that's going to help you... But have you checked atleast one email account in the account list page?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dapperyout:
Not for smartphone?

Hey TyTynGuy,

This is exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately I get the error message "NotSupportedException While Launch" when I run the rkOSR executable.

I'm using a Sprint Moto Q9C with WM6 and version 1.0.10 of the rkOSR. Should your program work on this platform? If not, do you have any plans to make it work for WM6 Smartphone? If not, do you know anywhere I can tweak my my settings so that email connects by Wifi only.

Thanks in advance for your reply, Happy New Year!

Dwayne

There aren't any accounts listed in the big box but I have the "Outlook email accounts" box checked. Is that enough, or am I supposed to have the individual accounts listed ? if so, how do I go about that? Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marttin:
Should first create your e-mail account - from today menu got to Messaging>New E-mail Account

Then you will have individual accounts listed, and must check those you want to sync with rk-osr, and of course manage other settings too.

the application works really good :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bulmer:
Thanks Marttin, that worked well. It connects directly to my email server on the internet and checks the mail for the account I set up. There is one problem for me though and that is that I wanted to synchronise with my Outlook email folder (on my PC- which is connected to this wifi network) and although i've checked the box in rk-osr it doesn't do that.Is there something I have to do to the Outlook settings on my PC to eable that to happen? Share a folder or something?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marttin:
Glad to be in help :-)

To best of my knowldge rk-osr is not designed to sync directly with pc over wifi.

I never used syncing over wifi, and honestly I am not knowledgeable enough on this issue to answer or direct you on this question. There is a thread with application which could offer you solution - chek here
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tytnguy:
Dwayne, Sorry the app is NOT for smartphones.

Since I do not have a smartphone its almost impossible to think about designing something.

Sorry about it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bananastalktome:
Love this program. 1.0.10 works on my Verizon powered Samsung SCH-i760 running WM6, just FYI. As a request, it would be nice to be able to set synch to a "every X minutes" setting rather than specific times. Even better, but I'm sure more difficult, would be to select to synch every X minutes between certain hours only and also specific times.

Lemme explain the rationale.

While I am home, I am always on wifi and would like to check email every 10 minutes. When I leave my apartment to go to campus, I can only check email at times I know I will be in WIFI lecture halls.

Other than that, keep up the wonderful work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bulmer:
worked out well

Thanks again Marttin for your help and thanks to Tytnguy for such a great application. The way its worked out for me I don't need to sync Outlook with my PC because when I check the same POP accounts directly with my pda they are actually left on the server until they are downloaded with the PC! I thought that only happened with IMAP4 !?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marttin:
It works with POP accounts depending on how you configure your e-mail client. In my case, I use TB on the PC - not Outlook, the configuration keeps e-mails on the server for three days after first download - only then "new" e-mails are erased from the server. This gives me the chance my PC to be online and download e-mails on its own, and the same time to be able to get e-mails, using rk-OSR, when not at home or office
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] teva:
Is it possible to add check box for not disconnecting from wlan after sync finished?

Syncing IMAP

Hi, this is a great piece of software, so convenient !!

1) It works OK for me (kaiser); but I have an IMAP account that seem to have problems: when powering on I can see the hourglass running over rk-OSR log tab, like if it never finishes

2) I'm also a developer; are you planning any source code release, so other can post patches?

3) It's not clear to me what 'Wait time to sync' does. You cannot check when all mail download is finished? Can't you monitor the connection to the server, and disconnect when the connection is closed? It's very difficult to know when someone will send you a 12MB attachment, which will block any further email downloads because every time downloading the attachment will take longer than the 'Wait time to sync'. Is there any solution/workaround?

4) as graemelisa suggested in a previous post, I'd add a feature to allow ifi connection only to certain ssid

Thanks again for this great utility ! I'll be donatig soon...

rk-SMS Switch release now you can have 'Push LIKE mail'

Hi Guys,

I have just released my latest utility called rk-SMS Switch. With this application you could set up a 'Push LIKE mail' support along with rk-OSR. i.e. rk-OSR should be able to sync ONLY when you have new mail. :D

Basically if your device gets the SMS notification on ‘New mail’ from your email service. rk-SMS Switch intercepts the SMS and based on the SMS sender and/or message text executes the command line for 'rk-OSR Now' to synchronize the emails.

Required:

You are using rk-OSR to sync your emails.

Your device could receive the SMS notification on new mail message.

Uses:

Push LIKE mail

Not wasting bandwidth for keep checking the server at regular intervals.

This is just an idea and initial version. Let me know if you guys like it.

Please follow the link rk-SMS Switch for more info/download.
