Fantastic news about a working plugin for the P1i that includes tasks. I am a frustrated P990i owner, and wondering if anyone knows if the plugin would work for me, or if anyone has added to the original P990i plugin so that that it too works for syncing tasks?

I'd be interested in know the steps taken to amend the P1 plugin as I'd be happy to try it myself, but would not know what to do, or the applications needed to do it.

Good day everyone,

I just bought me SEP1i today and was trying to sync with my ibook - Mac OS X, version 10.4.10, Processor 1.2GHz Power PC G4 and my iSync version is at version 2.4.

I have downloaded the file _07_hacked_to_PE2.0a1.zip.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow]http://rapidshare.com/files/5[....]_07_hacked_to_PE2.0a1.zip.html as advised and have replaced the existing plugin with the above.

I tried to syc. No device can be located.

I have:
- tried a few times, it did not work
- clicked "scan device", it did not work
- turned the phone on and off, it did not work

Any suggestions? Please kindly advise.

My main need is to sync my contacts, others can wait.

Million of thanks.

Cheerios

@IsidoreM
Intel or PPC doesn't make any difference.
You say you can pair the phone, but iSync says it cannot sync? This is strange, because this usually means that iSync cannot find a suitable plugin for the phone.
You say "latest Firmware" - which is it exactly? Theoretically a Firmware upgrade could change sync fuctionality - and break things of course.

@dilipc
Did you upgrade or reinstall the system? If you just upgraded and it stopped working, try the setup again. Remove the Phone from iSync, remove the pairing (on the Mac and on the phone) etc. and set up everything again. Hope this helps.

@justynpride
if you have the Apple Developer Tools installed on your system (it's an optional install on the Installer Disk), you could try. Just send me a PM and I will send you instructions. Cannot guarantee that everything works the same with a modified P990i plugin (as Firmware / SyncML versions might be different) but I guess chances are good.

@taneiiv
It should work with your system. Before adding your P1i to iSync you will need to set up the pairing (System Preferences -> Bluetooth...). For the initial setup make the phone visible and turn off Bluetooth power saving.
Maybe try to reinstall / setup everything again. "This device is not supported by iSync" means that iSync cannot find the plugin.

Did u said but still did not work. Deleted the device record from my ibook and phone. Re-search them again, it did not work. I also re-install the software, it did not work too.

The same thing appears - "This device is not supported by iSync". I am getting a little fed up.

Any advise, please?

thanks

I am able to sync my SEP1i with my Apple G4 already!!! Hope the following info will help those who are in the same boat as me

I am using the following on my ibook:
- Mac G4 Version 10.4.11
- iSync Version 2.4
- No internal bluetooth, using SMC-BT10 (Apple shop says that the kind of BT adapter used can affect the sync progress and ability)

Was not able to sync and the message appears on isync was as "iSync does not support the device".

Am able to sync AFTER sending my SEP1i to the SE Service Centre for a firmware upgrade.

The phone info is as follow for your reference:
- Phone: CXC 162-37 R9005
- Bluetooth: CXC 162143 R1D
- Organiser: CXC 162156 R6F41
- CDA: CDA162024/85 R7A

Hope this helps.

Cheerios

Just a quick question,

I am able to isync my SEP1i with Mac.

Does anyone has their address book messed up after the synchronization?

Like, the same phone number or email address will appear 2x or even 3x in different categories on the phone, such as phone, phone (w), phone (h) etc.

And if you enter like 2 mobile phones on Mac Address book and when it is synchronized, one of the mobile numbers might be deleted.

Has someone experienced that? This is rather disturbing.

Anything to be done about it?

And also, the groups I have set in Address book does not appear in SEP1i after synchronizing.

Pls kinldy share ur experience.

thank you.

Regards,

t

I have other issues with contacts. The first time I sync it works great. The second time I sync it attempts to erase the nicknames and contact type (person vs. company) and "change" the comments (although there are no changes.)

This was the case with SE's original plugin though.

Originally I had contacted SE about the problem with Tasks not working, and they pointed the finger at Apple. Goes to show how reliable SE tech support is...

Maybe a firmware update will fix things... I need to find somewhere that can do it without going out of my way or being without my phone for a period of time. An auto-update facility like what the PSP has would have been priceless.

Edit for a side-note: I wish someone would standardise the process of syncing things already, so that we didn't need someone to write a plugin for every single phone.

@taneiiv:

It's a problem I get regularly - I think the main issue is that I tend to format numbers in Address Book, e.g. "+44 20 1234-5678", but my P1i can't handle non-phone-number characters, so it would store that number as "+442012345678". Which means that, if I make some other change to the Address Book record, when the phone sees "+44 20 1234-5678" again, it thinks it is a new number.

I get multiple numbers and multiple email addresses - don't seem to get multiple street addresses. To make life even worse, Address Book syncs to Entourage so I can send mail to my contacts via Exchange at work, and Entourage has its own funny little tricks, so I get entries in Address Book called "Work Phone 2" and suchlike.

I've found the best way to sort out the P1i is to use the "Reset All Devices..." option in iSync to clear all the crud away and put in nice fresh entries from Address Book. The only thing I have to do afterwards is re-configure my speed-dial list, but that only takes 2 minutes. The I'll let things ride for a couple of months until the duplicates start building up again.

However, the Reset option also means you lose any folder assignments you've made to contacts on the phone, so if you're a big fan of grouping your contacts together, this solution is not for you. I got sick of having to re-assign contacts on my P910i every time I did a software update, so I gave up using folders.
