They won't all fit. Avoid any of these huge ones that you don't need.

I feel there's a bug in WM6. I'm not sure. I had original ROM and it synced all my PIM data well. Now with WM6, it does not sync. Contacts 3692/3998, Calendar 0/457, Notes 37/37 and Tasks 5/81. The total pim.vol size is 15.4M from File Explorer. The format is PPC/Outlook. These got synced. I have no clue why is this happening. Is there some restriction for the pim.vol size? Total pim.vol size was 16.2MB.Or are there any other kinds of restrictions? I read someone saying that having 10,000 contacts is not a problem. I'm nothing near to that. I've used the latest kitchen. Do help me please. I ran the kitchen from WinXP machine. I sync with Vista. Is there a way to get the no. of contacts, calendar, notes and tasks like outlook? This would be good. I'm giving this no. from PIMbackup, I also checked through Stools. I didn't do anything else with the above mentioned 2 programs.
I synced with outlook 2007 with wm6 on Windows XP. I still get the same result. Is anyone getting the same problem? I'm surprised why is everyone quiet on this? I'm definately looking for a solution.
also synced ppc with wm6 to outlook 2003 on Windows XP. The data is yet a problem. The result is the same. I think there's a bug in wm6 ROM. Dear Helmi, please look into this and help me. You can mail me on vusheth@gmail.com

Vishalshth,
I don't have a problem with my data syncing. You are the only person that I have seen withthis issue (multi posted I add). I don't know if it is a WM6 bug, could be, but we could also explore whether not it is a bug with the setup you are using. Please give us some information and maybe someone can offer some help. I see that you say you are using Windows XP, please confirm this. Which method you used to put WM6 on your device(Kitchen, prebuilt ROM)? Please refrain from cross posting so that you don't get conflicting answers. It may be best if you start a new thread. A good title may be "Problems syncing my device with Windows Mobile 6". You may get better results than posting here and having your topic covered up with other peoples discussions. I know I am saying don't cross post then encouraging you to make another one but I want you to get the support you need. If you decide to open your own thread I would encourage you to go back to your previous post and post a link to your new post. Maybe you could put in "Discussion moved here". I really hope we can help you resolve your issue.

every once in a while i have a problem syncing with activesync, i narrowed it down to wireless sync blocking the connection, even after i go through the "are you sure you want to do this" stuff. usually unplugging and plugging back in takes care of it. once in a while i have to soft reset though.

So are you using Active Sync and Wireless sync? I gave up on using them together a long time ago because they seem to conflict each other. I don't see a reason to use both. Are you using wireless sync for email or for another reason? Depending on you email provider you should be able to set up your device to retrieve your email without wireless sync. I keep a PIM backup on my storage card in case I am away from my PC and cannot active sync after a hard reset. I don't see any good reason to use wireless sync. If there is any benfit someone let me know.

i don't actually use activesync for anything but moving files around and a program called mobiler. i use wireless sync for all my contacts and whatnot. email goes direct to phone. wireless sync comes in handy cause you can use it with get it now phones too ( i like gadgets...). i also like wireless sync becuase i can access it from the internet at work and change what i need to as far as my schedule and whatnot. if i ever manage to successfully flash a rom under linux i'll be completely windows free (except for my phone........ for now....... heh.....)

What RUU option are you picking in the kitchen? You should pick the 04+ RUU option and it should go fine for you.

Any other questions give a shout.

Alright what am I missing here.

I was able to sucessfully install helmi_c previous WM6 (Apache WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2) sprint Rom http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7671) I had no problems installing and it was a breeze. Thought I would try this out, choose options then click on little Play button it tells me put in bootloader mode, I do and it continues install to where I have to click next on PC, it just sits there and hangs and tells me it has an error connecting to device. Everytime it does this and kills my software. I have several times done this, and also went back and reinstalled the original Sprint Rom off thier site, no problems there either. I never have connection issues (yet it is connected and can upload in bootloader mode thru vaious other Roms) until I tried to load this onto my unit.

What am I missing? Can someone please point me in the right direction as I would like to use this very much.

Thanks.

Make sure you are selecting the correc bootloader and that your phone is in bootloader mode.
