Zyb server problems

Unable to sync a Nokia N70 phone to zyb server. Probably has to do with the fact I am on pay as you go plan. This application is a nice thought but I am not happy with the way it (doesn't) work. Try to fix the possibility to synchronize contacts and calendar through the PC via cable or bluetooth connectivity. That would be great and I would be more than happy to buy the software.
A linux version would also be nice. I tend to use linux more and more over the last year due to safety issues.

Zyb server problems

John,

Thank you for your feedback. It is definitely valuable for us to determine features priorities. Direct PC synchronization is one of the major feature we plan in near future. You can subscriber on our RSS news to be informed about new releases.

To solve the current problem, try contact Zyb support on http://zyb.com/info/help/support to solve problem with synchronization with Zyb. You can also try sync with another Synchronization server, such as http://mobical.net, to figure out is it problem of you phone or it is problem of Zyb.

Contact with only Organization Name

Contacts with only an organization name and no first or last naem, show up in Zyb with the organization name in the name field which is exactly what is wanted. however, when these contacts are synched to Skype, they appear as unknown. Is there anyway they can named as in Zyb? Thanks.

Contact with only Organization Name

Hi,

The problem is solved. Fix will appear in the next version.

RE: Contact with only Organization Name

Hi,

We will need more info to help you. To provide us with more info please do the following:

  1. Start SkypeSync
  2. Enable verbose logging (menu Tools/Enable verbose logging)
  3. Start importing contacts
  4. After sync finished, open log file (menu Tools/View log)
  5. Try to find contact data that was imported incorrectly in VCardFormat - search by organization name, it should look like:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
...
TEL;xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
your organization data
...
END:VCARD

Send the this part of log or the whole log (your username and password are not logged) to the support@skypesync.com.

Skypeout numbers to mobile

Any proposals in mind to be able to transfer one's skypeout numbers to a mobile?
This project seems to be directed towards putting numbers collectively into skypeout.
I have been using skypeout for some years as my master library of numbers and now want to draw on that source to provide me with a library in my mobile phone, and backup in my p.c.

Skypeout numbers to mobile

Not bad idea.
Do you want to have contacts synchronized or one-way import (like it is currently implemented mobile to Skype) is ok for you?

It is a little bit tricky to have skype and a mobile contacts synchronized, because skype does not support history for contacts.
But import of skypeout contacts to a mobile can be implemented.
Only skypeout contact can be exported to a mobile, since mobiles usually do not support skype contact.

Any suggestions on this?

Linux support

Hey,

Is there any chance we could get this on Linux? I don't know what parts of .NET you're using, but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard to run on mono?

Thanks!

Linux support

We haven't planned to support Linux so far.
But if it will be requested from a quantity of users, I think it should not be a big issue if Skype for Linux provides an appropriate API for contact management.
