This provides some nice new features including sync for reply and forward message flags, and a conversation (threaded) message view. At present these features are only available to Windows Mobile 6.5 users but we expect other devices to add support in the future.</div><br /><div>In the screen shot on the left, messages that you've replied to show up with a purple arrow, while forwarded messages have a blue arrow. The new conversations view can be selected from the sort menu, on the right below:</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmX7Yyxj3hIdHWIFF88FeXPlQnV4MMx1OYiCvxMjYT3hMmaikmWGlEePRbzUVDhcgFLALIYW9UCR4-g2aW3-_ej23qBaEi3XlSmRgDGSN_ZHeWO9NEOkGBuysqJAPveHm0YUIPhpXMAc/s1600/image1.png"><br /><div><br /><img style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481540502450903074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnmX7Yyxj3hIdHWIFF88FeXPlQnV4MMx1OYiCvxMjYT3hMmaikmWGlEePRbzUVDhcgFLALIYW9UCR4-g2aW3-_ej23qBaEi3XlSmRgDGSN_ZHeWO9NEOkGBuysqJAPveHm0YUIPhpXMAc/s640/image1.png" /></a><br /><br />Here's my desktop <a href="http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/">Thunderbird</a> view onto the same AOL mailbox. You can see the messages have the same reply and forward marks (and the same color!). These flags sync both ways, so whether you reply and forward on the device or the desktop, you'll see a consistent view.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiarI6fM3wlGNO8MYeKPtnRm7sUV_IIrl51WUsEvxNNGuBuk_tdPQ8HcFSgoj5o9neWhGaRhLy4J6i582KgHIzdxPw9HbuDKFjXecPlvd9P4bGNn5-GqMvwNcXMppSRt7MXbhN5BlewnaI/s1600/tbird.png"><br /><div><br /><img style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 371px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481542380652980498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiarI6fM3wlGNO8MYeKPtnRm7sUV_IIrl51WUsEvxNNGuBuk_tdPQ8HcFSgoj5o9neWhGaRhLy4J6i582KgHIzdxPw9HbuDKFjXecPlvd9P4bGNn5-GqMvwNcXMppSRt7MXbhN5BlewnaI/s640/tbird.png" /></a><br /><br />The conversations view groups messages from the same thread or conversation together, displayed as one entry in the inbox. For example on the left below the highlighted inbox item is a conversation. It's indicated by the multiple-envelope icon and the number (5) which is the number of individual messages in the conversation. Open the conversation and the view on the right shows all the individual messages.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6URkDWSmqpQHQhVkx98Bqz80hHRVB3RE-s8hNMHHNyrcRbmtKCZCVPmUunSyoPdTzRHy3hDzE-62PRpYH0KszquQsunuTEMF1Yb64k0cJGRq52Xa6ounIKKA67QnHFj5aUFdnZAXHi9k/s1600/image2.png"><br /><div><br /><img style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481541276841925602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6URkDWSmqpQHQhVkx98Bqz80hHRVB3RE-s8hNMHHNyrcRbmtKCZCVPmUunSyoPdTzRHy3hDzE-62PRpYH0KszquQsunuTEMF1Yb64k0cJGRq52Xa6ounIKKA67QnHFj5aUFdnZAXHi9k/s640/image2.png" /></a><br /><br />New users, and any new device that hasn't been syncing in the past will automatically get these new features. To ensure uninterrupted service, we arranged for devices already syncing to keep using the older sync protocol version (the version change triggers a resync). To upgrade one of these devices log into our web site and trigger a device resync.</div><br /><div>For now these features are only available on Windows Mobile 6.5 but we expect other devices will be updated in the future to include similar capabilities.<br /><br /><br /></div>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03424798047701947644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-44542836018779910972010-05-19T18:38:00.001-07:002010-05-19T21:50:34.186-07:00New - Meeting Invitations!<p>We’re happy to announce testing of a new feature for premium users: sending and receiving meeting invitations. Since this feature requires both push e-mail and calendar synchronization, it is exclusively for users with our premium service. If you are not yet a premium user, you can still try it out by using a <a href="https://www.nuevasync.com/PublicSite/self-signup.htm?at=pt">free trial</a> account.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SsYVFGseI/AAAAAAAAAIE/0zaPHFzvSkg/s1600-h/mr47_ttrim%5B3%5D.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="mr47_ttrim" border="0" alt="mr47_ttrim" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SsZFCYABI/AAAAAAAAAII/GfZqAkasHjU/mr47_ttrim_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="324" height="117" /></a> </p> <p>How does it work? Meeting invitations are sent as specially formatted e-mail messages that contain the time, place, and attendees of an event. Many programs can send invitations, including Google Calendar and GMail, and most popular desktop e-mail clients, like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird (with Lightning). Many mobile devices, like an iPhone and iPad, only gain invitation support when using a service like NuevaSync (they won’t be processed when using IMAP or POP3). <br /> <br />With the new support in NuevaSync, you’ll be instantly notified of new invitations, can accept or decline them from your phone, and will have the event details entered into your calendar automatically. You can also send out invitations directly from your phone.</p> <p>As with all NuevaSync features, most smartphones on the market are supported, including iPhone, webOS, Nokia, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, and more.</p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="550"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SsbK82xbI/AAAAAAAAAIM/PfgNeLpqNBE/s1600-h/IMG_0035%5B3%5D.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_0035" border="0" alt="IMG_0035" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SscdLr4BI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/YS38xJmpTEY/IMG_0035_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="364" /></a> <em> <br />On an iPhone, new invitations are shown in a pop-up.</em></td> <td valign="top" width="200"><em><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_Ssc4m0hzI/AAAAAAAAAIU/i3wgqG6hiNA/s1600-h/IMG_0042%5B3%5D.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_0042" border="0" alt="IMG_0042" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_Ssdb_OHRI/AAAAAAAAAIY/KjSgts_IoeE/IMG_0042_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="364" /></a><em> <br />You can accept, tentatively accept (maybe), or decline to attend the meeting.</em></em></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_0047" border="0" alt="IMG_0047" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_S9Tkrjz2I/AAAAAAAAAI8/29aD6hEypKA/IMG_0047%5B3%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="364" /> <br /><em>Invitations can be managed from the ‘Inbox’ in the calendar app.</em> </td> <td valign="top" width="200"><em><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SScjwJWmI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ccewXm0oq4I/s1600-h/email_2010-19-05_202532%5B3%5D.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="email_2010-19-05_202532" border="0" alt="email_2010-19-05_202532" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S_SSdaEYgZI/AAAAAAAAAHo/UwJjBdAD610/email_2010-19-05_202532_thumb%5B1%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="364" /></a> <br />On the Palm Pre, you can accept or decline from within the e-mail app. It will also warn you if this meeting conflicts with another item already in your calendar.</em></td> </tr> <tr> <td><em></em></td> <td> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p></p> <p><em></em></p> Meeting invitations are a powerful and complex feature, and we’ll be adding even more capabilities as time goes by.

Click the "Click here" link to download your custom profile. After a second or two you'll see it displayed, like the one shown on the right below. The profile contains all the configuration for your NuevaSync account. Click the Install button and you'll have a guaranteed correct sync setup.<br />Profiles are cryptographically signed so the green "Verified" will be displayed. The NuevaSync profile can be used alongside any configuration profiles your device already has (for WiFi or certificates for example). Note that the sync "account" can't be deleted in the regular way in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" setup page. You'll instead need to find the profiles section in the "General" setup page and delete the profile there. Apple has some <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#get-started.installing-configuration-profiles">documentation</a> on how to install and remove configuration profiles.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRDS-vRbK7nRdxwse1NnjwrfWYhAhT7fh3qv1vkIBa0NSOycye4j-jKhOgy14NIh9AId0QeqkfO_WhuW3-nyYnjx1LkPlSaJ2Q7IE8fIRDjs27Rn0AXm7UmV7dMhp-q5uxseerN7Gu8U/s1600/screens.png"><img style="WIDTH: 640px; HEIGHT: 360px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470835280422453634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmRDS-vRbK7nRdxwse1NnjwrfWYhAhT7fh3qv1vkIBa0NSOycye4j-jKhOgy14NIh9AId0QeqkfO_WhuW3-nyYnjx1LkPlSaJ2Q7IE8fIRDjs27Rn0AXm7UmV7dMhp-q5uxseerN7Gu8U/s640/screens.png" /></a>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03424798047701947644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-50430068102201502812010-05-02T22:40:00.000-07:002010-05-03T09:17:14.539-07:00Not Your Father's Windows Mobile<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZkGeNDKvtOW9L1o7Q5ELqsX5ER2Iy6aCDWTNI7srqP4-u3lHTF9DBWSoFPqVFjoMq95xgMBy1SXx-IRO-by8xufiugqRA-L4SSwE9Ak9QqAvABJuX1Qx8_31PrjP816CQzLZxqFOjmAc/s1600/samsung-omnia2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 262px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466895503286887538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZkGeNDKvtOW9L1o7Q5ELqsX5ER2Iy6aCDWTNI7srqP4-u3lHTF9DBWSoFPqVFjoMq95xgMBy1SXx-IRO-by8xufiugqRA-L4SSwE9Ak9QqAvABJuX1Qx8_31PrjP816CQzLZxqFOjmAc/s400/samsung-omnia2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />We're developing new features for NuevaSync that work with Windows Phone 6.5. This work needs to be field tested and since Verizon were offering me a nice contract renewal subsidy, I decided to upgrade my trusty Samsung Saga (SCH-i770) to a new Omnia II, aka SCH-i920. After using an iPhone, the Moto Droid and Nokia's flagship N900 device in recent weeks I wasn't sure what to expect from the current crop of pre-7 Windows Phones. The phone's arrival was delayed a day due to a snow storm here on Friday but since retrieving it from the clutches of FedEx yesterday it's been in constant use.<br /><br />The first thing to say is that this phone's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active-matrix_OLED">AMOLED </a>display is awesome. As in, you stare in awe at it. It's so bright. Colors are so saturated. It's the best phone screen I've seen yet. It also introduces a new game which is to figure out how to get the most black on the screen. That's because with an OLED display, non-black pixels consume power and the more of them there are the shorter your battery life. At least that's the theory. I have my lock screen wallpaper set to all black which is easy to do by simply taking a picture with the phone of a black cat in a coal cellar and assigning that image as your wallpaper. You also need to get used to reading white-on-black text.<br /><br />Besides the display, his device has a big surprise for calendar syncers: there's an "aftermarket" calendar app pre-installed that supports colors for event categories! This is really cool because in conjunction with our "<a href="http://nuevasync.blogspot.com/2009/12/windows-mobile-calendar-gets-categories.html">Category Mapping</a>" feature, it allows color-coded display of events from multiple Google calendars. Open up the options screen, and there it is "Set colors of categories":<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-D5V1c9TtntVl4tXUlfypn_KQko3B3WwUg8ya26dijllbUdXl33t9Mi1SAerK7gCxMdOWIXiuQlKtwsKPE5fsH53i_XifsYcEXMBfCyCp8LEAQzfvRzc-oLzJrfKg6wuZISTpw7a8CZU/s1600/Screen02.png"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466894530293822146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-D5V1c9TtntVl4tXUlfypn_KQko3B3WwUg8ya26dijllbUdXl33t9Mi1SAerK7gCxMdOWIXiuQlKtwsKPE5fsH53i_XifsYcEXMBfCyCp8LEAQzfvRzc-oLzJrfKg6wuZISTpw7a8CZU/s400/Screen02.png" /></a><br /><br />You can even pick the exact color you want for each category to match the colors from Google Calendar. Not even an iPhone can do that!:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji8sfhZf-qhrvKhWBwvKZ3eYYcz5K9t-SMeiOU1eD7S5QxvSYzE8q6DmIaO7xjm6Bnvcagzf4qfS9nhx3MEYPu-QBkJg0Gna3ZHJia-cHtP0ppqyXBEkArOphcUuKMErcagtl9lqhSero/s1600/Screen01.png"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466894451367873810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji8sfhZf-qhrvKhWBwvKZ3eYYcz5K9t-SMeiOU1eD7S5QxvSYzE8q6DmIaO7xjm6Bnvcagzf4qfS9nhx3MEYPu-QBkJg0Gna3ZHJia-cHtP0ppqyXBEkArOphcUuKMErcagtl9lqhSero/s400/Screen01.png" /></a><br /><br />In no particular order here are a few more observations from my first 24 hours with this phone:<br /><br /><ol><li>It ships with a custom widget-container today screen that's reminiscent of Nokia's N900. I turned this off mainly because I couldn't figure out how to remove a widget, and also because I felt the screen was too small to accommodate more than two or three of them.</li><li>The device ships with the default "ok" button action set to minimise (not close) the application. I suspect this is the source of the 300 reviews on Verizon's web site from angry users complaining that their phones locked up. I changed the ok button action to close the application. This prevents the inevitable accumulation over time of resource-sucking processes.</li><li>Applications install by default to main memory. The phone has 8G of on-board flash and that's where applications should be installed.</li><li>Although Google Maps was able to find my location no problem, the pre-installed Microsoft Bing maps application refused to use the phone's GPS. Go figure..</li><li>The <a href="http://www.swypeinc.com/">Swype</a> input mode works better than you might expect, but I keep thinking it really requires the user to have a transparent finger. You need to trace a path between the keys while keeping your finger on the screen. But now you can't see the keys because your finger is on the screen. There has to be a better solution than requiring the evolution of digit transparency in the user population.</li><li>I haven't found any way to turn <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology">Haptic Feeback </a>off.

It seems that with these new features Nokia also made some changes that could lead to trouble with our service, particularly when syncing email. After trying to help a few disappointed (and sometimes frustrated!) E72 owners remotely, we decided to get our own device so it could be studied "in captivity".<br />It arrived just over a week ago and after a marathon bout of testing, some intense debugging and many pots of strong coffee, I'm happy to say that the new service release today has complete MfE version 3 support. E71 and E72 users can sync calendar events, contact, tasks and email with all our data sources (Google, Yahoo, Toodledo and AOL).<br />In the course of this work we were also able to reproduce several types of unpleasant device behavior that had in the past proved hard to diagnose. NuevaSync has been updated with countermeasures for these MfE quirks. Nokia users should experience smoother syncing as a result.<br /><br />There are <a href="http://wiki.nuevasync.com/wiki/bin/view/Public/nokiaMfe3Configuration">setup instructions</a> for the new devices.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Unfortunately MfE3 still doesn't implement all-day calendar events properly.</span><br /></span>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03424798047701947644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-31507279800881847582010-02-19T10:21:00.001-08:002010-02-19T10:26:12.196-08:00New Toodledo Options<p>We’ve introduced two new Toodledo options to make an <a href="https://www.nuevasync.com/PublicSite/user/service-toodledo-tweak.htm">advanced settings</a> page.</p> <p><strong>Folders and Categories</strong></p> <p>The first new feature lets you choose how categories should be mapped between your phone and Toodledo.  You can choose ‘tags,’ ‘folders,’ 'contexts,’ ‘goals’ or no mapping at all.</p> <p>What’s the difference?</p> <ul> <li>Tags offer the most flexibility for the device.  The categories from your phone are mapped to (and from) a comma-separated list, such as “Personal, Birthdays, Purchases” at Toodledo.  You can sync as many categories as can fit in the tag field at Toodledo this way, and filter your phone’s view on any one or several of the values.  The downside is that Toodledo doesn’t offer a good way of filtering the view based on the tags. <br /> <br /></li> <li>Quoting Toodledo, “Folders are a convenient way to organize your to-do list. You can use folders to keep track of different projects, or keep work-related tasks separate from personal items.”  When mapping categories to folders, only one of the categories is synced back to Toodledo, since tasks can only be in one folder at a time.  You can move tasks between folders on your phone by selecting the appropriate categories, or create entirely new folders by creating a new category.  When the device sends the category list back, if any of the selected categories is already a folder we will use it.  If none of the chosen categories is already a folder, we’ll create one from the first category which the device sent to us and place the task in the new folder. <br /> <br /></li> <li>Toodledo contexts are used to filter tasks based on where you are and what you are doing.  For example, while you are out of town on a business trip it isn’t helpful to have a task reminding you to wash the car at home.  Contexts help separate the two.  To the phone, contexts appear much like folders, and the rules are the same.  Whether you prefer to use folders or contexts mostly depends on how you prefer your tasks to be arranged at Toodledo. <br /> <br /></li> <li>Toodledo goals are used to group loosely related tasks.  For example, you may create the goal of losing 10lbs, and then associate tasks like a jog in the morning, picking up some fresh fruit for lunch, and exercising at the gym after work.  To the phone, goals look much like folders and contexts, and again, which would serve best depends mainly on how you’d like to organize your Toodledo list. <br /> <br /></li> <li>You might choose no mapping at all if your phone doesn’t support assigning categories to tasks, and you want to make absolutely certain that the folders, contexts, goals, and tags you’ve already assigned at Toodledo will not be disturbed.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Completed Tasks</strong></p> <p>The second new option is whether or not to retrieve completed tasks on the initial sync.  While most of the time it makes sense to start with only active tasks, sometimes you need access to past, already completed tasks for reference.  This option lets you select which you behavior you’d prefer.</p> <p> </p> <p>Any questions or comments, please head on over to the <a href="http://forum.nuevasync.com:8080/forum/forums/show/19.page">NuevaSync forum</a>.</p>Thomas Lackeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02385403936181127425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-27210111970749173662010-02-10T20:31:00.001-08:002010-02-11T08:04:18.349-08:00New E-Mail Feature – Follow Up Flags<blockquote></blockquote> <p>We’re pleased to announce an enhancement to our IMAP/GMail push e-mail service.  We now support syncing message flags (aka stars).</p> <p>Flagging—“starring” in GMail terminology—helps you keep track of important messages that require further attention.  Phones such as the Palm Pre, GMail with the “Starred” label, and most desktop e-mail programs provide additional tracking by offering an “All Flagged” or “All Starred” virtual folder to zero in on all your important messages, no matter which folder they are really in.</p> <p>To date, we’ve tested flags successfully on Windows Mobile 6+, Palm Pre, <a href="http://www.dataviz.com/products/roadsync/index.html">Dataviz Roadsync</a> (tested on Nokia), and Nokia Mail for Exchange.  Apple devices and the Nokia N900, unfortunately, do not make use of flags.</p> <p>More information about capabilities and device compatibility is available at our <a href="http://wiki.nuevasync.com/wiki/bin/view/Public/flagFaq">wiki</a>.</p> <p>For any questions and feedback, please visit our <a href="http://forum.nuevasync.com:8080/forum/forums/show/20.page;jsessionid=AAB1E52DEA471C1E42C898BF5794A8FF">push e-mail forum</a>.</p> <p><em>Flags on Palm Pre <br /></em><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mzLRmCohlY0/S3OIHyPEr_I/AAAAAAAAAFY/_UtZXeKW8BE/s1600-h/flag2%5B8%5D.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px;

It's also the first post I've written <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">on</span> a mobile device.

Even Javascript and Flash-laden sites like <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/finance">Google Finance</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">Youtube</a> "just work". So 90% of the apps you'd use on an iPhone are unnecessary. Just as well as there are very few Maemo apps at present. If you want you can even install <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/maemo/">real Firefox</a>, but I've been happy with the built-in browser (also based on the Mozilla code). The N900 is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-N900-Unlocked-Computer-Touchscreen/dp/B002OB49SW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1265306933&sr=8-1">sold unlocked</a> in the USA and is a GSM-only device. We only have 2.5G GSM here so I'd love to have a CDMA version that worked on Verizon's <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/">network</a> but sadly that device does not exist.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>The top 10 things about the N900</strong></span><br /><ol><br /><li>Works well with <a href="http://www.nuevasync.com/">NuevaSync</a> (after we spent a few weeks spent studying its sync client and writing special code to accomodate its wily ways).</li><br /><li>The command prompt (bash shell of course), which Nokia quaintly calls the "X-Term". (I don't think I've heard that since the 1980s...).

Inspired by a few users who have contacted us asking if we could provide an archive service, and also by <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/10/t-mobile-sidekick-disaster-microsofts-servers-crashed-and-they-dont-have-a-backup/">this unfortunate incident</a>, Contacts Capture stores contact data as it flows through the service and allows users to download their data from the web site. The popular vCard format is used. ".vcf" files can be imported into a wide range of applications and services.<br /><br />Even contacts that have been accidentally deleted can be recovered (as long as those contacts had been sync'ed). So if a contact has been "seen" by the service (after capturing was enabled), then it is safely stored and available for download.<br /><br />Capturing can is optional, and for existing Premium Service users must be enabled on the account settings page:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuzkcbJC0J7erNXpXMzEMWJZ33lOB3xz3FmMqBlMEnUsvfxAwtUhHxrxLFHmWj5Z3jXEi6C2dG5avc0f_fNGU08CrNUswWPhKbSkSkYtX6JRP9Sv75Y6FYgW5PWtDRBmMyKM_0KLyqBg/s1600-h/ccsite1.png"><img style="WIDTH: 351px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428940964949789442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxuzkcbJC0J7erNXpXMzEMWJZ33lOB3xz3FmMqBlMEnUsvfxAwtUhHxrxLFHmWj5Z3jXEi6C2dG5avc0f_fNGU08CrNUswWPhKbSkSkYtX6JRP9Sv75Y6FYgW5PWtDRBmMyKM_0KLyqBg/s400/ccsite1.png" /></a><br /><br />The device status page shows if your device's contacts have been captured:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Htcvq55S-zqLOEPGXd_pFgCYgcaIQiwMDKjnSP8vbITl2iyiZ47vbEwhMJWJYY9FrrPiju7ZlacYwTr-2dbWLcxaXdZ6iMyvVnwzKozDYX71KYfrYNjVOTJ-i1dCOOWbIg2KMs7FqyI/s1600-h/ccsite2.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428941043717714258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Htcvq55S-zqLOEPGXd_pFgCYgcaIQiwMDKjnSP8vbITl2iyiZ47vbEwhMJWJYY9FrrPiju7ZlacYwTr-2dbWLcxaXdZ6iMyvVnwzKozDYX71KYfrYNjVOTJ-i1dCOOWbIg2KMs7FqyI/s400/ccsite2.png" /></a><br /><br />Contact data can be viewed, and a snapshot taken of the current contacts state via the device management page:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tDgQxKd7E0xNk_ft6_dJ75IAGaQKvRSvb13YqKDQ60srI0bo4Zh8xSwwhO6-F2u-4adZ7FgUFDialZozs2I1wkKLegZ_7mTSKMKu9kkVofBrN1-WOwbYdLsp0TzdzB2ucFSxsC0cN5k/s1600-h/ccsite3.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 367px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428941240026654162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4tDgQxKd7E0xNk_ft6_dJ75IAGaQKvRSvb13YqKDQ60srI0bo4Zh8xSwwhO6-F2u-4adZ7FgUFDialZozs2I1wkKLegZ_7mTSKMKu9kkVofBrN1-WOwbYdLsp0TzdzB2ucFSxsC0cN5k/s400/ccsite3.png" /></a><br /><br />Here's an example after contacts have been syncing and 4 contacts deleted.

Confirmation that the wipe command was received is displayed on the device management page (if the phone didn't respond you'll see a "wipe pending" status here).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJPvkBXA6OIBA9NOVgH-DFEm6okPr9TQs43pin1lkBFJ8LvT7muYxkcOZK2_OrtQKaysIQWAGdqQ3YG3f7wKnx0jTcHnXUYMVDmydIv_UtGw_iRcrWv5G5sJdiK7G4VVJxt4bq7ajnF8/s1600-h/Capture5.PNG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416325141389807026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuJPvkBXA6OIBA9NOVgH-DFEm6okPr9TQs43pin1lkBFJ8LvT7muYxkcOZK2_OrtQKaysIQWAGdqQ3YG3f7wKnx0jTcHnXUYMVDmydIv_UtGw_iRcrWv5G5sJdiK7G4VVJxt4bq7ajnF8/s400/Capture5.PNG" /></a><br /><br />If you trigger wipe for a phone that is turned off, or for some other reason doesn't respond, and you want to revoke the request, a 'Cancel' wipe link will appear on the device management page. Beware however that any device that has an active push connection will wipe very quickly (in less than a second typically).<br /><br />See <a href="http://wiki.nuevasync.com/wiki/bin/view/Public/remoteWipe">this page</a> on our web site for more details on the new remote wipe feature.<br /><br />Note that some devices don't support remote wipe yet: Android 2.0 phones such as the Droid, and the new Nokia N900.David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954598606424189873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-80956402334900926292009-12-09T08:00:00.000-08:002009-12-09T08:00:01.568-08:00Sync All Devices!I'm very happy to announce that NuevaSync now works with all the devices that have an Exchange sync capability. Compatible phones include the very new Nokia N900, and the rather old Palm Treo. Also supported: the über cool Motorola Droid, and the slightly less hip PocketPC 2003.

There have been quite a few users attempting to use GMX with push email <a href="https://www.nuevasync.com/PublicSite/self-signup.htm?at=pt">free trial accounts</a> and it wasn't until I tried GMX myself that we discovered there was an incompatibility with their IMAP service. Fortunately the problem was easy to fix.<br /><br />In testing with GMX we've noticed that message read/un-read changes are pushed (unlike GMail) but message delete events are sometimes delayed by up to a minute.<br /><br />Correct push email configuration on our web site for GMX looks like this:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3EheJbcryFMZDaNm-zy8vU2RzawjThaNPjN5VeCjrg7Nc7M3xsoSRK7FKIuf33Xy9BD7zUMNjYBYadmH5_aCUoSLjreTZJNi13u9_n-Lh87z4QGUX82GORvuezX6xfydzEQvTBuM6qg/s1600-h/gmxsetup.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 384px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376143208698399586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD3EheJbcryFMZDaNm-zy8vU2RzawjThaNPjN5VeCjrg7Nc7M3xsoSRK7FKIuf33Xy9BD7zUMNjYBYadmH5_aCUoSLjreTZJNi13u9_n-Lh87z4QGUX82GORvuezX6xfydzEQvTBuM6qg/s400/gmxsetup.png" /></a>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954598606424189873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-13939286568592684452009-08-19T11:17:00.000-07:002009-08-20T10:26:21.827-07:00Premium Service Free Trial Now AvailableNew today on the web site we now offer the chance to try Premium Service before you buy.

Today we released a service update that gives better support for AOL Mail, including quick configuration on the web site. We did find one AOL-related iPhone quirk so I thought it would be useful to write up complete configuration instructions for an AOL account <a href="mailto:db1234567@aol.com">db1234567@aol.com</a> using NuevaSync account aoltest1:<br /><p>If you're using a NuevaSync account with an aol.com or aim.com registered e-mail address then service configuration is much easier because the web site notices you may be trying to use AOL Mail and presents a quick setup screen. You only need to enter your AOL password, click yes and you're done:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhqxzeeZljr2paJ0jPM6RuSuOtYfNYZprIy0cu5ywMBHeGtZjocHyA9Tv7Z5fndoXJ8s0ormG14OeIUOxrstb75ff2EFl9d66jUczIaTwCTommAxhbktthA_kPHhJ7SazwQ0MSGgMbug/s1600-h/aolsetup1.png"><img style="WIDTH: 310px; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368812489652819426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnhqxzeeZljr2paJ0jPM6RuSuOtYfNYZprIy0cu5ywMBHeGtZjocHyA9Tv7Z5fndoXJ8s0ormG14OeIUOxrstb75ff2EFl9d66jUczIaTwCTommAxhbktthA_kPHhJ7SazwQ0MSGgMbug/s400/aolsetup1.png" /></a><br /><br /><br />For folks who like to do things the hard way, here's the full configuration screen filled out for an AOL account:</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbqzHdOpiqNJGPUfOCe8NeUqhzsu3fKbmV6ysNx_GKsnmwTVoPk75jeWV6qrt4w_o5U-HjsjS30bqbALkkbR1ngITswzHRhP5vIkXamqgwGNsvBdiIZeMpvPK6WYtUs7UJU61LJiv5w2o/s1600-h/aolsetup2.png"><img style="WIDTH: 305px; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368807542981818594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbqzHdOpiqNJGPUfOCe8NeUqhzsu3fKbmV6ysNx_GKsnmwTVoPk75jeWV6qrt4w_o5U-HjsjS30bqbALkkbR1ngITswzHRhP5vIkXamqgwGNsvBdiIZeMpvPK6WYtUs7UJU61LJiv5w2o/s400/aolsetup2.png" /></a><br /><br />After verifying that there's a green light in the status display, we can proceed to device configuration. Here's where we need to work around a small issue with the iPhone. Normally we'd enter the AOL email address here:<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC1CCGu0Qne0qERSFhuZiaU2CpoUmBMrzeXKlI84fcQJBl1vTDJ9vhmCxwuxob22NTemvp6uZ8uor-8HYDggsKjRNRV5_RKSW8cL2_c-0k8hdDkQ1WjcrihNkK69oh9QL8-9VRW_cmXAE/s1600-h/aolsc1.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368807765219301266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC1CCGu0Qne0qERSFhuZiaU2CpoUmBMrzeXKlI84fcQJBl1vTDJ9vhmCxwuxob22NTemvp6uZ8uor-8HYDggsKjRNRV5_RKSW8cL2_c-0k8hdDkQ1WjcrihNkK69oh9QL8-9VRW_cmXAE/s400/aolsc1.jpg" /></a> </div><div><br /><br />However, if you do supply an @aol.com address, the iPhone will go into a never-ending spin trying to fetch auto-configuration information from an AOL server (it says "Verifying Exchange account information" but really it's trying to get the server name from the server "aol.com", which of course doesn't have that information to give):</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3d_7ReUP6us3fAJMFWl5z7KtAkpC4bW72oFqyHJbSE1rFiAgmlxQmOYZ3PL7d1j5Ce6jrJMcPkGpjkOGY3UFRaPlHQH72fP8DEgneBvNmruwNuz8I4Z5HBXZab64ZxJrV5G641eEhIQ/s1600-h/aolsc3.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368807776273229138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn3d_7ReUP6us3fAJMFWl5z7KtAkpC4bW72oFqyHJbSE1rFiAgmlxQmOYZ3PL7d1j5Ce6jrJMcPkGpjkOGY3UFRaPlHQH72fP8DEgneBvNmruwNuz8I4Z5HBXZab64ZxJrV5G641eEhIQ/s400/aolsc3.jpg" /></a> </div><div><br />This is similar to the GMail case where the phone tries to fetch config from a Google server and gets an SSL certificate validation error. However in the AOL case it just spins and spins and spins. Other devices such as Windows Mobile allow the user to disable auto-configuration, but the iPhone doesn't. We've found two ways to work around this. The first is to put the phone in flight mode during the account configuration process. This works just fine but it means you lose the chance to confirm the setup is ok because the phone can't test it. The second method is to first enter an e-mail address that doesn't end with aol.com. It can be anything you like. In this case I simply replaced "aol.com" with "nuevasync.com":<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZ8Smm2kx6YwrcN8Q8LfX9-PeCL3LTZeLNCz48bdjCxHisyJHwV5Wss8MW8dQK2vKFofjPoilLx-vbAD0AGNASF3Iqo_t3ZrE2RaKHf0ymoXl_pKPtAxgO6HWb-p30Id5Zi8beDm86m8/s1600-h/aolsc4.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368808284176474882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUZ8Smm2kx6YwrcN8Q8LfX9-PeCL3LTZeLNCz48bdjCxHisyJHwV5Wss8MW8dQK2vKFofjPoilLx-vbAD0AGNASF3Iqo_t3ZrE2RaKHf0ymoXl_pKPtAxgO6HWb-p30Id5Zi8beDm86m8/s400/aolsc4.jpg" /></a><br /><br />This will get you to the next screen without the death-spin syndrome.

Open the mail app on the phone and you should see your AOL inbox, and new messages pushed. A bonus vs. GMail is that AOL's IMAP implementation is complete, so message read/unread status is pushed in real time. We did find one potential pitfall with AOL Mail: their SMTP server checks the sender address on messages. GMail's simply replaces the sender address with your account's e-mail address if the device happens to present a different one. In the case of AOL, if the e-mail address configured on the phone does not match the AOL account, then message sending fails. We don't yet have a test for this in the web site, so beware that if you find after configuring that you can't send messages, then probably your e-mail address was mis-typed. It's easy to open the sync account settings page on the phone and change it though.</div><div></div><div></div></div></div>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954598606424189873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-88085738677649157282009-08-05T21:02:00.000-07:002009-08-06T10:34:37.920-07:00New feature: GMail message 'archive' supportNew in today's premium service update is a feature that many GMail users have requested: messages deleted on the device can now be 'archived' instead of the traditional move to the trash folder. An archived message desn't have the inbox label and hence will no longer appear in the inbox, but will show up in GMail search results and will retain any other labels the user or filters have applied. This is slightly different to the normal IMAP treatment of deleted messages where they'd appear with the 'trash' label and would not appear in regular search results.<br />The 'Delete-means-archive' feature needs to be turned on in the e-mail advanced settings page. Log into our web site then click the 'setup' link next to Email to display the regular settings page, then click 'Advanced settings'. Check the box at the bottom of the form and click save:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTk0pXf4-_BRdye2Wy4TntwkmzqJSiPXvS9s0Ketsu5nLjROHE2-h5iPJ8or1gTMvdS_sEH_iEt3E565XXa1FE3YbxDG94_fep9ANfoPmphFOX8kzefDZAq19WB-8FuXvDdwAhGtYJLko/s1600-h/archive_settings.png"><img style="WIDTH: 365px; HEIGHT: 382px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366704366145484962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTk0pXf4-_BRdye2Wy4TntwkmzqJSiPXvS9s0Ketsu5nLjROHE2-h5iPJ8or1gTMvdS_sEH_iEt3E565XXa1FE3YbxDG94_fep9ANfoPmphFOX8kzefDZAq19WB-8FuXvDdwAhGtYJLko/s400/archive_settings.png" /></a><br /><br />There's no need to do anything else (except perhaps wait a minute or two for the configuration change to propagate to the sync service).

If you're not familiar with the iPhone, it has built-in viewers for e-mail attachments in several common desktop file formats, including Word, PDF and Excel, but does not have an editing capability. Documents To Go adds that capability, at least for MS Word files today and for Excel in a future update.<br />The way I heard about this app first was when several users complained (all on the same day, curiously) that it did not work with our service! At first I couldn't understand what a Word document editing app had to do with our service, but once you realize that there's no easy way to get the files onto and off of the device, it becomes more obvious. Add to that the fact that Documents To Go comes from renowned device sync client developer <a href="http://www.dataviz.com/">DataViz</a>, and the penny drops...<br />Documents To Go can communicate with an application you install on your desktop computer, to fetch and save files, but if you spring $5 extra for the Exchange version, it can read and send files through a corporate mail server, or of course our push e-mail service (we fixed the compatibility problem soon after the first reports). It has its own sync client software, and shows up as a separate device as far as our service is concerned. It has its own settings page where you enter your username, password and www.nuevasync.com, much the same as for the phone's built in client:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkycr_DbdmoI5jI6rizMb4pwyHq_K4tUaSaogMO2HMBGMserrmRRMCj8Qn9VKVJGWw040-o1f-NTngBRJ6viCofX4g6oh6FcBA4gThub5Iar47IUdBJO_lwwHOLIQ8xxPftTUKX58LB4/s1600-h/photo1"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkycr_DbdmoI5jI6rizMb4pwyHq_K4tUaSaogMO2HMBGMserrmRRMCj8Qn9VKVJGWw040-o1f-NTngBRJ6viCofX4g6oh6FcBA4gThub5Iar47IUdBJO_lwwHOLIQ8xxPftTUKX58LB4/s400/photo1" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361869745532591426" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then sync your inbox (my GMail account in this example), which will display all the messages with compatible attachments:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQHJzB7_1-HZdI0GBsGByuUxNkt6T5dxRaAnp_iSnPDSqyF8YvR1n095tGfUpPqwZ2GQN8ZxovlR9fBzVQme6ozdsb4-RbF-W3rSg6W3ZAl_Sz_bsRAf3C3dp42DG4gyVd1pTpl1fn5g/s1600-h/photo2"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEQHJzB7_1-HZdI0GBsGByuUxNkt6T5dxRaAnp_iSnPDSqyF8YvR1n095tGfUpPqwZ2GQN8ZxovlR9fBzVQme6ozdsb4-RbF-W3rSg6W3ZAl_Sz_bsRAf3C3dp42DG4gyVd1pTpl1fn5g/s400/photo2" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361869807713514242" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Word attachments can be opened and edited like this:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpuudAWRDwB_4Cg_30jiJead-HG7cFfrh5j5kmMSoyOzjpaKscXGR1RwgdTBPvHcXxRX-4rcqLHf9bhDk5aC7TK84qvh9xf_QOqiOVrjFBZca1Nj1KnIAZ6vRuV6kyxf3WYYfzDbZSz_o/s1600-h/photo3"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpuudAWRDwB_4Cg_30jiJead-HG7cFfrh5j5kmMSoyOzjpaKscXGR1RwgdTBPvHcXxRX-4rcqLHf9bhDk5aC7TK84qvh9xf_QOqiOVrjFBZca1Nj1KnIAZ6vRuV6kyxf3WYYfzDbZSz_o/s400/photo3" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361869860458746210" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then saved on the device, back to your desktop, or e-mailed directly from the app which is what I did with this document, and here it is open in Word on my PC:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpHTmoEU_edYfn8ryLYoKWojmGd-SOZlklWjUQ1KnfHw9y-UM8s80rUuxV_-B8rYafr5a25_jUym06gywgRivgzIdQrdImhk_rI7_Sqe4RSrtJw-Kpmhkpu3no0mrno8Bhl5xjhpKlzU/s1600-h/worddesk.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpHTmoEU_edYfn8ryLYoKWojmGd-SOZlklWjUQ1KnfHw9y-UM8s80rUuxV_-B8rYafr5a25_jUym06gywgRivgzIdQrdImhk_rI7_Sqe4RSrtJw-Kpmhkpu3no0mrno8Bhl5xjhpKlzU/s400/worddesk.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361869949028361922" border="0" /></a>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954598606424189873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759507341420259744.post-1455466557545321802009-07-03T16:30:00.000-07:002009-07-03T16:35:53.654-07:00Push E-Mail is Here!Big news: We've launched our new 'push' E-Mail Sync Service.

We've found this to be handy when investigating reports from users who had either no contacts on their device, or the wrong number of contacts. Often there was confusion about which contacts, and how many should be syncing. The new information displayed on the web site should clear up the confusion:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXvkd87-ZlrUSAc2NUfDWgXv3bQk6XTNd_nEf03xgZt6W_gxFDnwNTIp3rskGKzeqlkk8kSdoWGcMTN9FcoTkav_3Ha_tJ5CE7Kr2zAfMFZ9jJQrd5Ki1-SnbUwEqrvCOxV_PNolwmgng/s1600-h/contact_counts.png"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352765468195020978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXvkd87-ZlrUSAc2NUfDWgXv3bQk6XTNd_nEf03xgZt6W_gxFDnwNTIp3rskGKzeqlkk8kSdoWGcMTN9FcoTkav_3Ha_tJ5CE7Kr2zAfMFZ9jJQrd5Ki1-SnbUwEqrvCOxV_PNolwmgng/s400/contact_counts.png" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_ycEtIbgx5PPX3TvElU9HwOmCQI5-a-wLJSGmHvTHrGIhnGUmZAEYmOlWV9YLTh8HYM3gpoXO66ktVXduWpEXXNjH5vi2lxlLmB9BaWlz6_CvhSUtAbL9nTijIIFDV98YjKxowSjkzQ8/s1600-h/contact_counts.png"></a>The example above shows a user with 241 contacts in the 'My Contacts' pseudo-group at Google. This is the set of contacts that we sync. If a contact shows up under 'My Contacts', it should sync. If it doesn't, then it definitely won't sync. The default 'System' groups (Friends, Family etc) and two user-created groups (Test Group, Second Group) are displayed next. Contacts in these groups are always included in 'My Contacts' and so they will sync. The last group is the one formerly known as 'Suggested Contacts', and now labeled 'Most Contacted' at Google. By popular demand, we do <em>not</em> sync contacts in this group. So for this user, the total number of contacts that will sync is 241. Contacts in all of the groups <em>except</em> 'Most Contacted', will sync but they don't count towards the total because those contacts already accounted for under 'My Contacts'.</div><div>You can see the detailed account status page either by clicking the link in the troubleshooting page, or by clicking on the green/orange/red 'lights' in the main status page. If you're wondering why it takes a while to load, it's because we re-fetch your contact information from Google in real-time, to be sure the page shows up-to-date results.</div>David Borehamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09954598606424189873noreply@blogger.com0
