I installed Windows Mobile Device Centre 6 on Vista and tried to connect Dell Axim but the PC didn’t connect to it whereas Dell Axim detected it and also got connected. My PC shows “ERROR” written on the screen. Any suggestions for the same.

I found this bluetooth artical really interesting. What I want to do is use my PC as a front end interface to my mobile phone. I want to initiate and receive calls and send texts from my computer and am trying to find information to allow me to do this. Any sources of information you could suggest that would helpful to me in doing this would be magic received.

I have the HTC Touch Pro 2 & the Dell Axim 51v PDA. I am trying to sync both on Windows Mobile Device 6.1, but it will only do one or the other, prompts me to erase the previous partnership in order to sync the other device. Is there a way to do both without having to start from scratch each time.
Thanks,

Roman

I have an HTC TYTN II PDA running Win Mobile 6, and a Vista machine.

When I use Windows Mobile Device Center everything works fine EXCEPT if I try to use the “Pictures, Music and Video” “Pictures/video Import Settings”. EVERY time I try to acces this, I get the same error:

“Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error…” “The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception…”

“Details” shows:
************** Exception Text **************

>>>>> ANY ideas how to sort this mess? I just want access and control of the settings.

I have all drivers up to date, all firewall exceptions allowed, all anti-virus updates, etc.

HELP!!

Regards…

I opnly recently started using the filters in outlook contacts. It makes life a lot easier.

Sadly, you are completely correct when you say you can’t sync by category, or by subfolder. At least I can’t think of a way. You might be able to set up a new data file with it’s own address book. You could sync only with that. I just had a quick play and couldn’t figure it out though.

I’m using WMDC6.1 and HTC Touch with WMPro6
There does not seem to be a way to only synce a subsection the contacts in Outlook, I have contacts in a sub folder in outlook that I want to sync with the phone, but there does not seem to be a way of just selecteing that folder in WMDC
I have also read that using Categories instead of subfolders is a far more powerful way of organizing your contacts,which I have also done, but the same with that, there does not seem to be a way of filtering what gets sync’ed by category either

Anyone any suggestions??

Hi Micki, the phone is probably shoing you the storage card, instead of the devices memory. You should still be able to get to the windows folder, but you will need to navigate to it. You could look at this, as it shows you how to use voyager to access all your Windows files on your device.

I use to have WXP now have the windows Vista. In active sync you could get to the windows folder on my smartphone. With the Mobile Device Center when I open on the drive it does not have my windows folder showing. I do have show hidden folders and wondered if I can even get to it through this sync? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Doug, I have also suffered this problem. Sorry about the advice the dell techs gave you. Did you end up with 3 copies of each message? Check out Duplicate items remover. It worked for me. It removes duplicate items in Outlook, so your next sync should end up good.

Chris,
Just this past week I moved my Outlook 2003 data from an XP machine to my new Vista Hm Prem 64 bit machine. Sunday I installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6 and connected my Dell Axim and WMDC recognized it and imported all of the data. Now my Outlook 2003 on the Vista machine has duplicate entries for all my appointments, birthdays, holidays, etc. I did not see any ‘ActiveSync’ settings that would have allowed me to say don’t import dups nor did WMDC flag exceptions and allow me to say how they should be dealt with as ActiveSync did. Dell techs I contacted said that I should uninstall WMDC then restart my machine and that would remove the dups then I could reset the Axim to clear all entries then reinstall WMDC then dock the Axim to download all data from the Vista machine. Can you provide and direction or suggestions. So far I have not been able to find any info that tells me how someone in my situation should get started when moving to a new computer and having a lot of existing data.
Thank you
