Well said RReckless (CBR?).

Can I just make a point, it's not just newbies either!

I'm new to all this and have spent weeks trawling the site and learning to do stuff for myself, that's just the way I like to do things. I've had questions from members who've been on here for years asking about my layout etc, some just don't have the time or inclination to look for themselves.

But if it bugs you, you don't have to have the time or inclination to answer either. :rolleyes::D

After upgrading to 1.66 and using myphone to back up, i now have duplicate contacts in outlook and my device and also i hard reset today and synced again, it seems i have up to 4 duplicates of each entry!! :eek:

WTF have i done wrong here and how do i stop this happening again?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Sync with Outlook OR myphone, not both!

If outlook is the master, after a hard reset, unregister the phone from myphone, delete all contacts in myphone, sync with outlook, which will restore the contacts on the phone, then register and sync with myphone, which will transfer them to myphone again.

As there's no direct link between outlook and myphone, if you hard reset and sync both, myphone will restore your contacts onto the phone, then outlook will do the same as it can't know the contacts that are now on the phone are the same ones it's gonna transfer. Then myphone sees you have more contacts, so syncs them, and you get a double, etc.

Remove duplicates on PC and phone

To remove duplicates you can use:

1) For your PC: http://www.vaita.com/ODIR.asp

2) For your phone: http://gydarindustries.com/?page_id=4
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
aha!i get it now, thanks both
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Man, i am in a pickle tonight LOL please, read this, laugh and call me a numpty....

I deleted all my duplicates using that app mentioned above on my device. I then deleted all my contacts in outlook thinking it would update to what's on my phone but outlook just deleted all my contacts on my phone!!! :eek: How does this work? does it go by what the latest action was or will outlook always update my phone to what's in outlook? If that is the case then everytime i add or alter a contact on my device outlook will delete it. Surely i've got that wrong :confused:

I then **** myself having no contacts what so ever, so i thought i'd sync with myphone and get them all back on to my phone, but then i thought, no, wait what if my device updates myphone with zero contacts, i am not sure what way round this all works.

So then i panic but realise that all my contacts i deleted in outlook are still in the deleted items folder :cool: so i restored them all and synced it back to my device.

I am now back at square one and am highly confused over what takes presidence when syncing my device with outlook and with myphone, i do however understand that outlook and myphone don't have a connection.

Would i be right in saying that the latest 'action' on outlook, myphone or my device will then be updated to the other?

What i really want to do is, edit all my contacts in myphone, sync to device, sync to outlook, is that possible :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :D

i've seen this said on here before, don't mess with things when tired! :p

apologies for being thick, i'm still getting used to using outlook (from outlook express) and using wm from symbian.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
This can be set in WMDC/Activesync. By default, when creating a new partnership/the sync history is lost it's set as "outlook overwrites device". It can be set to "device overwrites outlook" though.

With myphone it's less clear... apparently, the phone overwrites myphone. But, as myphone will restore the phone after a hard reset, i presume it works that way:

If you connect to myphone and the contact DB on the phone is empty, myphone loads phone with what it has. If the phone already has contacts, they overwrite the ones on myphone.

In any case Outlook is the "master" in the default configuration. After a hard reset, delete old partnership on the PC, connect the phone, create partnership, outlook will restore contacts and stuff onto the phone. Then link to myphone, phone should overwrite myphone.

Now that the sync relationships are established, you can edit a contact on myphone, sync myphone -> modifications will be carried onto phone, then sync phone with outlook and modifications will be carried from phone to outlook. But isn't it easier to just edit in outlook directly? ;)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Thanks i think i have it worked out now, jesus! i think what you say about myphone must be correct.

Balls to this, i'm hitting the sack :p
[HD2 General] ChrisSmithWebGuy:
hi

Hi,

Another alternative is a new service from Scrubly Duplicate Contacts Remover. The service scans and removes duplicate contacts from your Outlook, Gmail and Google Apps accounts. The nice thing about this service is that it gives you the option of viewing the contacts to be merged in advance and picking and choosing the info you want to merge so you have complete control over the merged data. It also keeps a backup of your contacts. Hope this helps ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] timmmeeehhh:
Hey there.

Ok I have a problem. I have had my touch pro 2 for about 6 months now and i am really happy with it, but recently i have ran into a problem.

My phone won't connect to my computer anymore! Not just my computer... no computer at all. Not just activesync, no, it doesn't recognise it at all, not even as a disk drive.

I doubt its the cable because it does charge, and i have tried another cable (not a htc cable but its a cable with the same plug, its from my external harddrive) and it still didn't work.

I also tried a hard-reset on my phone, but still... nothing.

Ive read somewhere that you should push the usb connector a bit up, i did that, but nothing (now the usb connector seems wiggly... glad it still charges though) i have no idea what it could be and i thought i'd post here first before going back to the dealer with it. Because without usb connection i can't install costum roms and that we wouldn't want that, do we? :P

Well, hope one of you guys can help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
That's very strange :P I have had it once, but that was due to the rom I used. I flashed another rom and it worked again.

What you could try is to download a new rom and put it on your sd car using this:

http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/

This let's you put stuff on your mobile using wifi. It's worth a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] timmmeeehhh:
But you have to install roms directly from your pc to your phone, while being connected to USB right? The standards htc roms for example can only be installed that way i think... or can you also copy the .exe to your device and run that?

i'll give it a go when i get home. Thanks =]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pinkfloyd01:
I am having the same issue here. All of a sudden my PC or Laptop doesn't see the phone at all but it does charge with no issues. When I plug it in I don't even get the sound that the PC knows something was jut plugged into it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr_sheen:
go to settings - connection - usb to pc - untick the enable faster synchronization box

that should do it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ultramag69:
As long as you have Hard SPLed your Rhodium you should be able to use the sd card method to install a rom instead of using the PC and usb connection.

You copy the rhodium.nbh file to the root directory of an sd card formatted FAT32 and then boot into bootloader - volume down and power button when off.

Follow the onscreen prompts...

Cheers...:D

What's interesting with my Tilt2 (not the OP) was that I wanted to flash my ROM with the new AT&T "unofficial" ROM and that's when I found out I couldn't tether. I basically just wanted to tether my phone so I could put that new ROM onto the phone to see if I could make it more reliable and faster. Sigh.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevenmc8602:
it actually might be the cord...

The same exact thing happened to me... my phone charged with the cord but no computer recognized it...

I bought a new usb cable from radio shack and viola it worked again... so I advise u just trying a new one and if it doesn't work take it back... but try the unchecking the "check for faster sync" box first like someone said bc that do stop it from being recognized sometimes...

Yes, this has (almost) always fixed the issue for me. Somehow WDC becomes blind to new device inserts after you plug-unplug them several times.

Hi peeps,

I have the cm 4.2.15.1 rom flashed to my g1 and am currently running Marks theme rev c, but when i, try to change the theme to another it sticks at the splash screen and I have to restore back to marks theme. It was flashing fine before but since I've tried H&E red and darkstar 1.07 both from the cm updater and I don't want to risk another till I know what I am doing wrong. I am certain they have been compatable with my rom.

Thanks in advance

Try reflashing the cm rom update.zip to restore the default theme before flashing a new theme.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bass17yl:
Hi, all. Please forgive a newbie's probable lack of etiquette.

So I've had my AT&T Tilt2 for a couple months now, and everything's been working beautifully. All of a sudden over the last few days, a few really annoying issues have popped up out of nowhere.

1. Out of the blue, Opera will no longer connect via WiFi. It had been working, now it doesn't

2. Periodically I'll look at my phone, and instead of "Start" in the upper left, it says "Messaging" and the clock is frozen at some earlier time in the day. A simple touch of the screen clears the problem, but it's annoying.

3. Sometimes, "Start" is replaced with "NewsBreak" and an error message ("Access is denied") has appeared as a running app in list in the upper right, but never actually pops up as an error message unless I choose it from the list. When I clear the error, "NewsBreak" goes away.

4. The sliding keyboard is sometimes unresponsive (messaging, internet, doesn't matter). To get it to respond, I have to click the physical "start" button at the bottom of the phone, then close the start menu. After doing that, the keyboard works fine.

All these problems started about the same time without having modified the phone in any way. Anybody ever seen these before?

Thanks!

p.s. Audio from the built-in speaker is really distorted. Is that normal for this phone, or is my speaker faulty?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Not sure why you have problems but windows does get corrupted from time to time. Just today I had to hard reset and load a saved known good back up when the phone would go to sleep and not be able to be turned on with out a soft reset.

Hard reset it, loaded backup, resynced and all is good now. Somthing must have got goofy.

Hi, i personally got 4 email to setup. everytime after a flash, i need to setup all of the email one by one.

i was wondering is there any quicker way that i can do this?

or easiest possible, juz install a cab file mayb? is there such a software that i could create .cab file from all the email settings i wanted, then copy the .cab to ppc and just install then could get all the email running?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The best way I found to do this is Sashami, and its built in XML editor, Makisu. Go here, register, and download Sashami 8. Install it on your device, and open Makisu. Select the Email option, and input all the information about your email accounts as the wizard asks for it. Most email providers have a page which has all of the connectivity information, which details which protocols, ports, etc. are supported, and all that is readily available on Google.

Do this with each email account, and you should end up with a few XML files, which are compatible with most user customization options, which are often integrated in ROMs. If your ROM doesn't have any form of UC or you don't want to use UC, you can make your XML file into a cab file with these directions (skip down to the step called Creating the CAB File, since you already have the XML file made). After you do that, you will have a few cab files (or one cab, if you manually merge all the XML files) which will install your email accounts and preferences.

It may seem like a lot of work now, but it's completely worth it after you never need to set up another email account again.
