HTC TyTN II with Lotus Notes/EasySync Pro

[jhi]

Hello,
has anybody already succeeded to sync his Kaiser with Lotus Notes? If so, how (I think I have successfully run the application unlock and switched the device to a One-Tier Security), but EasySync keeps claiming that the device is not connected or ActiveSync is not running ... neither is correct. Thanks.

I'm using Nokia Intellisync handheld addition v6 to sync with Lotus Notes.
The only problem I have is that I sometimes have to soft reset the kaiser so it can re-connect.

[jhi]

Dave, thanks for the hint ... I may have to resort to that if I can't get Lotus Easysync to work. Did you have to do any type of Application Unlocking ... or id Intellisync just work? J

I use EasySync Pro V4.24 and have not had any problem with it sync'ing with my Tilt. Didn't have to do anything other than load the app on the phone. worked right out of the box.

[jhi]

Hmm, no, that doesn't solve it. Just installed Lotus Easysync Pro 4.2.4 and the error is the same ... 'Unable to connect to device. Verify that ActiveSync is running'.

This is how I did it:

1. Install MS Outlook 2003 (maybe 2002 will work)

2. Install Lotus Notes connector (free download from MS).

3. Connect them up and sync the 2 apps.

4. Run Outlook and sync the PPC with Outlook not Lotus.

You can always just keep Outlook running in the background all the time if you are one of those unfortunate people who doesn't think Lotus Notes is marginally worse then gouging out your eyeballs with rusty nails :-)

Cheers,

Joe

[EDIT]You will need to upgrade to the latest version of EasySync which in compatible with WM6 - I think this is 4.2.5 or 4.2.6.

If you don't want to pay IBM approx. 50ukp for the privilege or can't get your employer to buy the license, try Googling "PDASync" which comes in a 'free' evaluation version or I paid about 30ukp for the full version.

This works fine for me!

I've been syncing Lotus Notes 8 with my kaiser using Easysync Pro 4.2.5. No issues so far.

It works straight out of the packet, and it's very easy to set up.

[jhi]

Ok, I downloaded a Trial version of PDASync 4.1 ... and it works right out of the box. I would still be interested to figure out why Lotus Easysync 4.2.5 is not working. Would be greatful for any additional clues. J:)

Just curious- have you disabled your software firewall? Had many PDA's hang on that.

I use Mnotes from commontime it works well

[buggyde]

I just use a program called Mnotes -> http://www.commontime.com

Easysynch Pro does not work here either - something to do with mishandled Notes permissions I believe - Noyes 8 client here.

But I've cracked it here with XTND Connect - very well behaved both with my old Treo and new HTC Ty TN 11

[Nunhead_Man]

Thanks - but yes

Possibly not helped by my Notes install being a bit odd - multiple address books for example

try the visto solution...

go to preview.wirelessinbox.com

1) sign up an account
2) download the desktop assistant
3) you can sync your kaiser with lotus email, contacts and calendar over the air (aka push email with PIM functions)

i am using exchange plus a couple of other internet email accounts with this.
hotmail, gmail and yahoo mail is supported directly on the visto application on the kaiser.

If you install Lotus Easysync and it installs itselves to the PDA, you're prompte if you want to install it into the Memory or onto the Card.

NEVER INSTALL IT ON THE CARD.

Otherwise you have to hard reset your PDA and re-install everything. I tried every other hack and fix and application and more and this is how it worked. Just installed it after a hard reset of the PDA and installing everything else, into the memory and it run.

Hello All,

Greetings from sunny Greece.
Downloaded Microsoft ActiveSync from MS website, installed IBM EasySync Pro v4.2.6 (on TyTn II --> device, NOT SD).

Works like a charm with Lotus Notes 7.0 (did not try 8.0 though).
Just had to provide my Lotus Notes Password.

[vinkck2002]

I've been syncing Lotus Notes 8 with my kaiser using Easysync Pro 4.2.5. No issues so far.

I try with the Easysync Pro 4.2.6 and Lotus Notes 6.5, but keep receiving the above message. I try whatever has describe here http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=465&context=SSKTPA&dc=DB520&dc=DB560&uid=swg21260730&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct465lotus

But it still doesn't help. Can someone help me, I'm getting desperate.

[adem_7]

Sorry for going a bit off topic, has anyone managed to sync with Novel Groupwise? This is what I use at work. Any tips?

Thanks.

thx hogue79, this solution worked for me (I have an Artemis)
I had already installed it to my SD card,
but I uninstalled from the PDA.
When reconnecting to the PC, PDASync asks to reinstall it to the PDA.

After that the error message has never shown again.

mnotes works well. you can demo a wired and wireless version. and you can buy either (although their website sort of defaults to the more expensive wireless version). the wireless version is not that great because the pc mnotes is on must stay connected etc (unless you can convince your it guys to run a server version).

so i am running the wired version which syncs very well. also very configurable.

HI,
I work @ IBM (which bought Lotus a couple of years back) and I get the program for internal use. I was long frustrated, cause it didn't work on my Tytn. Other collegues with various SmartPhones had no problems, but one with a Touch.

As described above (which I only read after writing this post)...
We then found out what the difference was... the n00bs at work just install everything on the device rather than on the external storage. And that's where the problem is. Easysync only works properly if you install the program on your device. Then there are no more issues with Activesync.

Tested with Notes 8.01 and Easysync 4.26

But I do have a question for other Easysync users: How do you assign Categories to stuff beeing synced from Notes to PDA automatically. I use GMail as a private Calendar and that creates a category per calender (cause you can do multiple calendars). First time I synced with notes, it deleted all my entries, which was no problem, cause I can sync again with gmail (using oggsync). But then all new entries in notes get synced to my gmail if I don't apply a category first....

I use Outlook and the Lotus Note connector plug in from Microsoft and it works like a champ. Might be another avenue you could try.
