vista sync

[markppc6700]

I've been looking up and down the forums for this but is there a way to sync your phone using vista home premium?

thanks in advance

im not using home premium, but my vista can sync. it is very very buggy, but it does technically work, why doesn't your phone work? did you download the windows mobile device center (WMDC):

I am using Vista Ultimate and it seems to sync fine with my Mogul. I even tried BT connection the other day- just very slow.

What kind of problems are u having?

I use Vista Business at work and Vista Home Premium at home. From time to time the PC (either one) will not recognize my Mogul. A reboot of the PC has always fixed it.

I was able to sync my phone once using Sync Center 6.1 in Vista and restore my contacts and etc but it will not sync anymore.

I am getting the following error message: Support code: 0x86000107

I have removed and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center twice, rebooted the phone and done all of the normal tricks but still no luck with synching again.

Does anyone have any ideas or fixes? Forgot to menition I am running OMJ 6.1 ROM.

Thanks in advance!

usual suspects/fixes for me are (usually in this order):

start > settings > connections > usb to pc > uncheck enable advanced network functionality.
soft resets/computer restarts
delete partnership in wmdc
uninstall/reinstall wmdc
hard resets (this is usually my last resort)

it has become so annoying for me that i usually dont sync that often (sadly i dont get new phone numbers often enough for that to be a problem, haha, but updating the calender more often would be nice)

mail2web is also always an option

also, google searching on error codes is usually helpful:

from briefly reading through those results, it looks like you need to delete the partnership in wmdc

If I uncheck Contacts, Calendar & Task I can sync with the emails in my Outlook. I have tried only selecting Contacts, Calendar & Task and none of them will sync, but only when i have Email select by itself.

Again I've removed WMDC, deleted the Sync center, deleted the partnership and I'm getting the same results.

Any ideas? Sugguestions?

Thanks in advance!

did you try:

start > settings > connections > usb to pc > uncheck enable advanced network functionality

that's created some problems for me in the past

[parlayed]

yeah..., tried unchecking "enable advanced network functionality" and same results.

sounds like you are where i have once been.... i eventually gave up and went with the hard reset (i was looking for an excuse to upgrade to wm 6.1 anyways). so yea, i think you're beyond my level of experience, hopefully some of the more senior members will be able to help you out (which im sure would be helping a lot of us vista users out in the future).
