 Hello all,

After synchronizing big tasks, I get an incomplete "note" field in the
task on my device, and the last line of the note reads : "[Text
truncated on device. Modification of these items on the device will
overwrite full text on desktop.]"

I am using ActiveSync 4.5 on Windows XP SP2.
My device is using Windows Mobile 6 professionnal, se ce 5.2.1620 (build
18125.0.4.2)
My device is a sfr v1615 , aka : htc TyTN II Kaiser

I have read this web forum thread :
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20056

I am ready to follow these instructions, however, I have some questions
before doing so:
- Is the registry told about the registry of Windows XP or of Windows
Mobile?
- How to backup the registry?
- What exactly is "resetting" a smartphone? Can I do it from one of my
device's menu? Will I loose all my settings if I do so?
- Has anyone tried this registry hack without the "reset" step and did
it work?
- Is there a less complicated way to get the FULL text of my tasks on my
smartphone? One month ago I had a Sagem smartphone using Win Mobile 2003
and I had the full text of everything. :(

Thanks for any help,

David

 Hi David,

The registry referred to is of the device. You can download and install -
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ to access the registry on your
device and even take a backup.

A reset if like rebooting the PC. It basically restarts the phone and frees
up memory by shutting down any program that is using it. It doesn't erase
any settings but you would lose any unsaved information. You can refer to
your users manual to figure out how its done on your device.

I have tested this hack once long ago on a Pocket PC phone edition device
and it worked. Don't know if it works on a Smartphone. You would need to
soft reset so that the changes in the registry is updated on the device.
Sorry I have no answer for your last question.

Thanks Raj for the help.
I followed the instructions and it worked, I now have more tasks fully
synchronized with the device.
However there are still some tasks that are larger than 20 kb and their
texts are still truncated, meaning I cannot edit them on the device.
I would still be very interested in a way to synchronize ALL tasks,
regardless of their size. If anyone could help that would be great mmkay?
See you,
David

That would require ActiveSync to be changed. You might be able to sync a
text *file* between the device and your desktop PC. You'd have to change
how you edited that file on the PC to use a text editor like Notepad, and on
the device, maybe WordPad. As far as I can think, that's the only way to
allow you to sync really large 'notes'. The device just was not designed to
do what you're talking about.
