Inappropriate?If you are not in a country that supports an automatic configuration text message then you can still use Soocial by setting up your phone manually. Many phones have different ways to do this, but in general you must fill in the following information:
1. Server: sync.soocial.com
2. Username: your Soocial username
3. Password: your Soocial password
4. Port: 80
5. Set to include contacts synchronization
Other fields do not matter, but be sure to have a working internet connection. -
Inappropriate?Using Nokia N95 8GB What should I give for remote database I gave "contacts" but it didn't work
-
Inappropriate?Same problem. We have to try different server version - 1.1, instead of default 1.2 -
Inappropriate?YES! It uses server v1.1
-
Inappropriate?Found the solution
1. Server: sync.soocial.com
2. Username: your Soocial username
3. Password: your Soocial password
4. Port: 80
5. Set to include contacts synchronization
6. Set The Remote Database ./contacts
I’m confident

Thanks Arjun, although it really *shouldn't* matter what the remote database is. If this works than that might help others too, thanks heaps! -
Where username is the emailaddress you use :)
-
Inappropriate?but, how do I get past "Step 1" in the setup sequence on the soocial web site, if my phone isn't supported? -
Inappropriate?Hi Mptpro,
you don't *need* to setup the phone in our webapp, if you manually setup your phone. The setup in the Soocial webapp is for automatically configuring your phone, which is done by sending a text message.
Once you sync your phone, it will automatically appear on the 'Connections' page. -
Inappropriate?I see the settings you enter, but no mention of WHERE you enter those? What application is actually doing the syncing using those settings?2 Comments Add a comment

Hi there, the problem is that every phone is different and thus have different interfaces and menu structures where to fill in that information.
We are working on a system that shows you how to set things up manually for every phone that we support but no ETA on that yet. -
yes, where do you enter the settings?
i'm using from china (w/ china number). -

I'm using an HTC Tytn II (8525 on AT&T) running Windows Mobile 6.0.

Inappropriate?Hi scionguy,
Windows Mobile phones aren't support yet sorry! Most phones have the software built-in but Windows Mobile hasn't.
Synthesis AG (http://www.synthesis.ch/) has some sync-client applications for Windows Mobile but we haven't tested those yet to see if they work with Soocial. -

hey ebidk, the SE 910i should work fine. Sorry we missed your question. Would you care e-mailing us your username to support at soocial.com and we can take a look at the logs and see what might have gone awry.
-
Inappropriate?Just tried to sync my Samsung i900 with Synthesis AG (http://www.synthesis.ch/) using
1. Server: sync.soocial.com
2. Username: your Soocial username (your email)
3. Password: your Soocial password
It took several loads to sync all my 1500 contacts, but it worked very well.
I’m happy happy joyed

I have an HTC 8925 (Tilt) with WM6.1 and tried to setup funambol, but it wont' take my credentials. I logged out/into the site to make sure I had the email address and password correct. Has the server changed to something different or is it looking for something other than the email/password used to login to the website?
-
This is encouraging because I'm considering buying a Samsung Eternity (SGH-a867) in the USA (ATT/Cingular carrier) and hope to sync it with my Mac running Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac's Entourage client. Alternatively, I can sync that to iCal & Mac Address Book. What about syncing to Google Calendar and Google Contacts?

Inappropriate?Hey czechman,
Samsung phones don't seem to work out of the box. In this thread Polle de Maagt got his Samsung syncing using the http://www.synthesis.ch/ client. If you try that would you mind letting us know what you experience?
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?My 2c:
Just got my soocial login, I'm ecstatic, thanks!!!
As mentioned above, I had to change the server version to 1.1 from the default 1.2 as setup by the soocial text. With 1.2 I kept getting sync error. The default setup text also setup a weird access point (TMo WEB) which I changed to 'always ask'.
I have a Nokia e71 on the t-mobile.nl network.
I’m happeeeee!

Menu> Tools > Sync > Options > New sync Profile
1. Server: sync.soocial.com
2. Username: your Soocial username
3. Password: your Soocial password
4. Port: 80
5. Set to include contacts synchronization
6. Set The Remote Database ./contacts -
This could use an update - or at least this is different for me on my e61i.
NB - This is NOT working for me, so I am asking, not telling here...
Sync has been moved under the Connectivity menu, so...
Menu > Connect. > Sync > New sync Profile
1. Applications > Contacts (and no others)
> Include in sync - Yes
> Local database - [C:Contacts.cdb]
> Remote database - ./contacts
> Synchronization type - Normal
2. Connection settings
> Server version > [1.2]
> Server ID > sync. soocial.com{???}
> Data bearer > [Internet]
> Access point > [Always ask]
> Host address > http://sync.soocial.com/
> Port > 80
> User name > {my User name}
> Password > (my Password)
> Allow sync requests > Yes
> Accept all sync requests > Yes
> Network authentic. > No
Sync requests are showing "canceled" in the log.
Suggestions?... -
Okay, I've got the above steps done, but I'm getting a "System Error" on my E71 when I try to "Syncronize". I choose "Syncronize" in the "Menu", it brings up the "connecting" window, lets me chose the network then gives the "Systems Error!" fault. Please help!

Inappropriate?Iphone and Ipod touch can sync with Soocial.
You need to download the free Synthesis SyncML app from the app store and fill in the details mentioned above.
I’m excited

Jcc, blackberry does not have syncing possibilities to be able to set up. That is why we are making a client that can be installed on the BlackBerry. We will start giving out an alpha release in the next weeks. I you want to be a tester. You can send a mail to support (at soocial dot com)

Inappropriate?I have an LG Vu cu915 touchscreen smartphone, is it supported? If not, will it be? Is it possible to sync the phone with google calendar and/or contacts?
I also have a Mac running Microsoft's Office 2008 and I use Entourage (instead of Outlook, or Mac address book or iCalendar.)
Thanks in advance
I’m undecided
-
Inappropriate?The mac issue can be solved easily by setting up Entourage to sync itself to the Mac Address Book. This is in preferences, under Sync Services.

Inappropriate?I have an Iphone and downloaded the synthesis application from the iTunes store. I seem to be able to connect, but once I have (and the phone says it's syncing), I get an error back saying
"Invalid data from server (wrong URL?)"
Under connections on the Soocial site I do find the mention of a connection called "Synthesis AG SySync Client iPhone Contacts" which says the phone has never been synced yet. What can I do to make it work?1 Comment Add a comment

Lyanna,
Did you go through all the threads here for the right settings? What settings do you have in the Synthesis client right now? -
Inappropriate?Of course I did.
My settings right now are:
1. Server: http://sync.soocial.com (I also tried with a forward slash after .com, same result
2. Username: your Soocial username (email address like everyone says)
3. Password: your Soocial password (changed it around a couple of times, no result)
4. Port: 80 ---> this I can't configure anywhere within Synthesis
5. Set to include contacts synchronization ---> can't configure this
6. Set The Remote Database ./contacts -----> can't configure this
SyncML version is set to automatic, it then automatically jumps to SyncML 1.12 Comments Add a comment

Hi Lyanna,
Your settings are fine.
we've had a look at where it's going wrong (although the Synthesis SyncML client is officially not supported by Soocial yet).
It seems to bork on the note field. We've applied a fix to this and will be deploying this fix beginning of next week. I'm using this app for my iPhone as well (till we have our own) so I'm anxiously waiting for this fix as well!
Hope this gives you the necessary info. -
Yay! At least I know I'm not going bonkers :D
If you are not supporting Synthesis, is there somewhat else I might use? (I'm guessing not, but you never know ...) -
Inappropriate?Sorry - Contacts is on
Forgot to mention that -
Inappropriate?I have a Nokia 7360. I'm in Sweden, so I can't get the settings automatically. I get the message that I have the wrong settings for synchronization, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have entered the data as you have put it above (several times). What can I do to fix this?
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?i have several problem as well: i have setted everything as you have described, and i connect to the remote server, but just after the label "starting syncronization" appears, an arror "impossibile to open databes" stops the operation. My phone is an LG kt610, it runs symbian third edition.

Hey Higui,
You made a typo in the settings. ./contacats should be ./contacts If you change that it should work. -
Inappropriate?Ok, look, I really want to get this to work but apparently no one at Soocial is inclined to look into the matter further. I'm actually pretty disappointed by now.

Lyanna, niet boos worden!
-
Inappropriate?Daar heb ik natuurlijk weinig aan. Ik wil mijn contacts synchroniseren, dat lukt niet, en vervolgens laten jullie zes dagen niets van je horen, terwijl mensen die na mij problemen hebben wel worden beantwoord.
Dat noem ik niet bepaald service. En als je me dan ook nog moet gaan vertellen dat ik niet boos moet worden, dan helpt dat niet bepaald mee. Dat snap je toch zelf ook wel?
Maar goed, laat anders maar zitten hoor, er zijn vast nog wel andere sync methoden waar ik Soocial niet voor nodig heb. Veel succes er mee.5 Comments Add a comment

Niet boos worden was mijn eerste commentaar. Ik ben de laatste 10 minuten bezig geweest om te kijken wat er misgaat bij je. Het probleem is dat ik geen goede reden kan vinden waarom het niet lukt.
De sync server setting is goed. Want ik zie wel een sync verzoek binnenkomen. (op 4 december)
Maar de sync wordt voortijdig beëindigd zonder foutmelding.
De reden dat ik niet gereageerd heb is omdat ik een collega wilde vragen naar zijn instellingen. Hij gebruikt ook Synthesis. En ik ben het verder vergeten...sorry.
Ik wil dit graag voor je oplossen. Je mag mij mailen op bart at soocial com -
Lyanna!
You did a full sync!! What changed? -
As suggested in my email to you earlier, it was the photo's in my contacts that screwed things up. After deleting all of them, I could sync without a hitch. It's a shame though - I would love to sync my photo's. But apparently I'll have to do without them for now.
-
We are working hard right now on being able to support pictures. We are not sure how the synthesis client deals with them since it is a third party product.
-
That's what I figured ;)
But thanks! -
Inappropriate?Hi Lyanna,
please see my reply to your question where you outline your settings for the iPhone. -

Inappropriate?I use Motorola Razr V8, I'm from Croatia, so I had to set up my phone manually. I don't have an option to set up port (port 80), so i beliave that port 80 is default port!?
When I try to sync with my phone, I get an error message on authorisation.
Please, advice!
I’m indifferent

I can get Funambol's BB plugin to work with Funambol itself, but not with Soocial. The only way I manage to sync my phone with Soocial is to use Outlook as an intermediary. (Sync with Outlook via the Blackberry Desktop Client, and then sync Outlook with Soocial.)

Inappropriate?My sync worked perfectly with my Sony Ericsson, but I'm having difficulty making it work with my Nokia N70. It says:
1. Connecting
2. Initialising
3. Sync Incompl.
4. Connection error
Message no. 3 above is shown only for a half a second. My user name is tim@io41 (of course add .com to the end of that) in case there is any useful information to be seen in the logs.

Inappropriate?I have used several other SyncML services but cannot seem to get Soocial to work on my Motorola RAZR v3xx though it works fine with three other services. Arjun Kumar Parsi refers to the ./contacts "Remote Database" and that seems promising as a "Data Path" for this phone but with or without the ./ (other services generally use simply "contacts" or "card" it seems to crash my phone (to the point that I must remove the battery to reset it).

Ports will automatically grab port 80 so you should be fine, the datapaths are ignored and actually one of the dumbest settings engineers could have put in the phone. Have you been able to sync this phone with Soocial yet?

Hi Ethan, can you specify which Scoop it is? If it's the LG CU320 then you should be able to sync with Soocial. However you will have to set it up manually - somewhere in your phone the settings mentioned above should be filled-in and you should have a working internet connection on the phone. Drop us a line if you were able to sync!
