I have sucessfully sync'ed my calendar and address book with a free, public SyncML server!
To do so, I:
Went to http://www.truesync.com
Signed up for a demo account at: http://www.starfish.com/private/tscom/solutions.html
Then:
In Connect, Synchronization, Server Settings:
1) WAP profile: A working wap profile. I am not sure if some wap gateways will block this kind of data, so you might want to try waptunnel.com's public gateway if you get the "synchronization interrupted" message.
See this link for info about using a public gateway:
http://esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=1246&forum=14&0
2)Server User ID: (whatever user Id you signed up for in the free demo account)
3) Server Pwd: Again, whatever you singed up for at truesync.com
4) Server URL : "http://www.truesync.com/servlet/SyncML/"
5)Calendar Path : Path= "./Event/Events" UserId, Pwd = (blank)
6) Phonebook Path : Path= "./Contact/Unfiled" UserID, pwd leave blank as above
I did not make a mistake in entering "./" in front of the path names. Also, the path values are case sensitive, so if you see an "S", "M", or "L", you cannot enter them as "s, m, or l".
Do not include the quotes in the values as you input them into the phone. This may seem obvious, but I have gotten emails...
Note: After synchronizing, you will be able to see your contact and calendar information on the web site. I did notice that my "mobile" and "other" contact numbers did not make it through the transition.
I contacted starfish.com and let them know of this. They wrote me back and said it was a known issue with their web application, and to look for details about it being fixed. NB: Although the mobile and other contact numbers are not VISIBLE, they are sync'ed and stored.
Here is the truesync.com official setup instruction link:
http://www.starfish.com/private/tscom/syncml_setup.html
Good luck!

i'm having synorization interuppted....
Please help me!!!!
Posted by arnoldc
@santana, your network operator's wap gateway may not allow such access, try a public wap gateway such as ericsson's or as suggested by the author, waptunnel.com.
Posted by ca_abarro
You did a great job!!! I've been searching for this info for the past few weeks! =)
Posted by ditzygal
This is great.... Thanks for the link. I noticed that it did not sync my mobile contacts, is that the phone or the web service? I also could not sync the Tasks???
Does anyone know how to get the T39m to synchronize with my corporate email from Outlook? I can sync with the extended systems software when connected with the DRS10, but how about over WAP?
Posted by arnoldc
@ditzygal
That's the purpose of this StarFish demo. As a supporter of the SyncML initiative, they are hoping that portals, providers and operators will use their applications. You can buy StarFish's TrueSync software, connect it with Microsoft Exchange, and you can sync.
Posted by ditzygal
gomichaelkgo, can you assist in programming an alternate wap gateway/profile to a T68 mobile? You mention waptunnel as a free public portal.
My provider (Cingular) does not allow me to view T68 Color images. If I could program the waptunnel and access esato via waptunnel, I should be able to view the color images to wap download, right?
Posted by GPRS
i got errors! it says bad URL????
Posted by santana
dear arnoldc,
How do i configure the ericsson or waptunnel.com into my T68 phone. I still have to dial using my operator number.
help me plzzzz?

To Gomichaelkgo and Ditzygal:
You did not get complete synchronization of your contacts because the phonebook path is wrong. If you go to the Contact folders of your internet PIM, there are only Personal, All and (rename folder) options. You either have to add a new folder named "Unfiled" or change the phone book path to "./Contact/Personal.
Note: The user ID and password on the Path menus need not be filled up. Only the server URL ID and password are important.
Posted by gomichaelkgo
Ditzygal &Santana, You may see this link for using a public wap gateway.
http://esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=1246&forum=14&
The only one working YESTERDAY was the waptunnel.com gateway and that is the only one, unfortunately, that does not support color. Does anyone else use the Ericsson public wap gateway successfully?
Gobrutz: After Sync, I have a folder called "Unfiled" on my Truesync Internet Planner.

I used it and worked with standart GSM operators GPRS settings (Turkcell)
Thanx gomichaelkgo

Hi I have tried to use the public gateways and my operators gateway, both don't work they come up with 'Syncronization interupted'. Why is this? How can I get around this?
Eric's Son
Posted by gomichaelkgo
Eric's Son:
I had been getting this message until I tried using a dialup connection. I am not sure if that is what fixed it, as I was subsequently able to use my serivce provider's connection. It's either:
A) A limitation with your service provider
B) Try power cycling your phone?
C) Try waiting a while, it may be that your truesync.com account isn't immediately accessible?
All of these scenarios seem unlikely, but one never knows. I have no idea why I wasn't immediately able to successfully sync and then I had no problem.
Posted by Merkur
Wow! This is cool!
I see one problem with this page tough. I cannot find an option to let the program sort names in a list by First name, Last name, not Last name, First name.
Posted by ca_abarro
Im from Makati, Phils. and Im using Globe as my TelCo, Im using T68 R1B, I have tried to sync using the instructions above the post and still have an error "Sync Interrupted". I have tried to wap dial-up, wap through gprs, using a public gateway and still the problem occurs. My wap connections are all perpectly working when I used them to browse wap pages. My Sync account in Starfish is already working and I have already sync using yahoo and ms outlook.
If there are other Filipinos out there that has succesfully setup this sync feature, please let me know how. Thanks!

I tried to access the waptunnel gateway but all i get is an endless Loading... message and when I try to sync it fails? I use voicestream in the US... could i be doing anything wrong?
Posted by gomichaelkgo
Salireza,
You can't use the public gateway with GPRS on the VoiceSream network in the US. Try it with their dialup connection if you're not already.
Posted by santana
Dear all,
Do anyone of you know what is the URL for ericsson gateway?
I tried of using the waptunnel.com, no response at all. Try to ping to the waptunnel.com(its IP), always request time-out.
I just wonder how you guys manage to synchonice T68 with the public server.
????? santana
Posted by arnoldc
Ericsson developer's gateway (public, blank username and password) 192.95.167.178
This gateway supports color and can be used with Esato and others.
Posted by santana
arnoldc,
Thank for your info.
What is the ericsson's URL address for the gateway?
santana
Posted by arnoldc
That's it (the IP address). That's what you enter when you create a new WAP profile.

gomichaelkgo,
you mean the slow 9.6kb pre-gprs connection? if that is what you mean it will take forever to sync
Posted by gobrutz
Ca_Abarro:
I am using Globe and can sync thru GPRS with Starfish server without problem.
If you want further infos about the settings for this server, just sign up with Sync Ml group at yahoogroups.com and read the messages there.
An earlier public server is a Magically, Inc. system. Details and set up can be found at http://syncml.fulham.fitworld.com:8888/. This is a public development server and hence the databases are being cleared from time to time. You can apply for an account thru email.
If you have further problems with Globe just send me a private message.
Posted by gomichaelkgo
salireza,
The initial sync took about 15 minutes. Now, it takes less than 15 seconds over a non-gprs circuit switched dialup connection.
Do you ever use the circuit switched dialup for surfing wap? It's just as fast, more stable, and you don't get charged for the content. I have 3000 minutes per month, so the fact that it comes out of my minutes doesn't bother me.

From TrueSync technical support:
Hi,
Synchronization of certain fields, which include the mobile phone
field, is an issue that has been brought to our attention and our
development team is currently addressing this issue.
However, I do not have any ETA for a fix or resolution at this time.
Please watch our website for any updates. I do apologize for any
inconvenience.
Thank you,

Gobrutz, could you please send to me your settings for your wap syncronization using Truesync.... I'am a Globe subscriber too... Everytime I trying to syncronized my unit via WAP, using my Truesync account, I got SYNCRONIZATION Failed/Interrupted. Please help.... Tnxs in advance.
Posted by GOwin
Success! I've synched with the truesnyc server.
I made a mistake typing in the correct URL paths.
I'm a Globe user using the Globe wap gateway.
But the following fields don't get updated: Title, Mobile, Fax, Other, and the groupings too.
No luck with the Magically Inc./Fitworld server yet.

I just followed the instructions from the first post of this thread.
Except for:
Phonebook Path: Path= "./Contact/Unfiled" UserID, pwd leave blank as above
where I used "./Contact/Personal" instead, )as recommended in another post.
Then, double-check on your URL entries.

hi gowin, i just followed the instructions pero ayaw pa rin.. "synch interrupted"
url= http://www.truesync.com/servlet/syncml

Gowin, I used the same setting as you did. Kaso ayaw pa rin nya eh. Palaging Syncronization Interrupted/Failed....

Posted by arnoldc
@luwi, GPRS,
Just to remind you URLs are case-sensitive. This, and the wrong password is the common reasons why you get sync failed. Also, you will not see the mobile phone numbers of your contacts in Truesync after the sync. This is a known bug of Truesync, not the T68.
Posted by GOwin
well, i can't synch today (i tried since this morning) it seems something happened in the network or in between.
I'm not changing my settings again. Arnold is right, copy the configurations as is.

tama ba arnold?
Posted by arnoldc
also,
./Contact/Personal
./Event/Events
however, i'm getting "GPRS request rejected" just now when using Smart's WAP gateway.
I can still connect though, using the Ericsson developer's gateway. (I posted the IP adress here somewhere).
Ano na naman kaya ang gimik ng Smart at Globe?

gomichaelkgo,
how do you set up cuircit switched dialup for wap on voicestream?
Posted by GOwin
Hmm ... i think there were some network problems with Globe yesterday (and earlier today)
I can synch without any problems again using their wap gateway.
Posted by gomichaelkgo
Salireza,
Here is how to set up circuit switched.

Many thanks for the settings wizard, gomichaelkgo!!
Btw this works for Telenor and GPRS in Norway.And Netcom GPRS..

Hi!
I've set everything as in the first post. It starts synchronizing but after a while i get a "Syncronize Interrupted". When looking on the web it shows all my contacts, but it doesn't sync my calender
I've double checked the URL and Path names. Anyone has any suggestions?
Posted by salireza
gomichaelkgo,
i followed your settings for the csd and i still got a connection failed message. i am signed up for istream and it works really well....would i have to sign up for webstream to get the csd account to work?
Posted by gomichaelkgo
salireza,
Mine said "failed" when I put the wrong password, login, or URL in. If they were all correct, it would still sometimes say "interrupted".
You don't need to do anything to get your circuit switched connection to work. Are you able to browse WAP with it? If so, you might notice that it's nearly as fast. Too, you don't pay for the content, but only the time you're connected. If, like me, you have a lot of minutes in your plan you may find it's a cheap alternative to GPRS.
I am thinking that either the truesync server or the voicestream network is just not very reliable with this kind of thing.
You'll notice that some people will just not be able to get it work, and will keep getting the message "interrupted". That happened to me for a while until it finally just started working for no apparent reason.
The SyncML standard is just emerging, and we may have to wait a while before this nascent technology becomes easy or reliable enough to become transparent. Until then, I suggest that you keep trying and maybe you'll be able to tell us what finally worked.
Posted by salireza
actually i cant even browse wap with it...that is when i get a connection failed....when i want to browse wap.....but with gprs all is good
Posted by float
Thx guys for the information. I got it working at first trial.
I sync over circuit switched (9.6), and it seems faster than doing it over IrDa via XTND.
However my doubt is when you re-sync it, will you lost the mobile/other information on your phone?
Posted by bjambean
Hi could someone give me a hand....
I'm on Orange in the UK and am trying to set up this sync thing. I have checked and double checked all of the settings but keep getting the syncronisation failed message. Just wondering if anyone on Ornage or in the UK has got this working and if so what Gateway are they using? I've tried the SonyEricsson and Mviva ones as well as all of my Orange accounts.
Thanks
