The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SmartPhones and Delayed Syncing

Asked by ljones_cna in Windows Mobile (Pocket PC / Win CE) Operating Systems, Handheld and PDA Programming, Pocket PC Other

Tags: , , , , ,

We have just started deploying Verizon Wireless smart phones in our organization that run Windows Mobile.  We have 1 Palm Treo, 1 Samsung i760 and 1 Verizon VX6800.  Since we have starting utilizing them, syncing has been unpredictable and sporadic.
We run Exchange Server 2003 SP3 and all of the following features are enabled in Mobile Services:
      Exchange ActiveSync      
                               Enable user initiated synchronization
                Enable up-to-date notifications
                Enable notifications to user specified SMTP address
      Outlook Mobile Access
                Enable Outlook Mobile Access
                Enable unsupported devices

ActiveSync on the phones were originally set to sync during both peak and off-peak times as items arrive.  When we started having issues where items would not appear on the phone for hours at a time, I modified the sync properties every 5 minutes.  However, it still takes quite some time for items to appear on the phone.  

One note:  items created from the phone syncs fine back to Exchange& the problem occurs when creating items and it syncing back to the phone.  Same with email  sending an email from the phone is immediate, but receiving emails from the phone could take an entire day.  A lot of times I perform a manual sync just to get the data on the phone  even then, there can be a delay at times.

Verizon has basically said that the problem is not on their end and will not offer any support whatsoever.  Their only advice is to contact Microsoft.  Before doing so and opening an incident, I thought Id run the problem by here.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
