h i ,
anyone uses iSync with the N-Gage QD?
I used to be able to do it smoothly till I reformatted my phone and MMC card recently. Anyway, every time I try to sync I get a warning on the phone "App. closed AppArcServerThread". What does that mean? After clicking ok, my contacts sync well, but my calendars and To Do items fail to sync...
Any solution? Some software incompatability perhaps..
I have a new QD that I synced for the first time this morning, and it worked fine. I've had trouble with the QD in the past though (this isn't my first unit owned). My original QD kept giving me that same error -- I believe -- and I ended up exchanging it, and the second unit worked fine.
However, my Nokia 3650 used to work flawlessly, and now it gives me the same error you are reporting during a sync. However, the sync still works after I hit the button and move past the error. Did you try that? Does it fail after the error popup closes?
What version of iSync are you using? What verison of iCal? If you have the latest updates for both, I would expect you to be okay. iSync is at 1.5; I forget the verison for iCal. I can tell you that a December update to iCal broke iSync for Symbian phones, but a fix was released at the end of December.
You mentioned reformatting your phone. I know there is the "soft" format *#7370#, which is what I actually did to my 3650 last week. There is also a "hard" format, and I don't know the difference, but you might try that. (Look for details and code on this forum.)
You should also look into doing a repair of permissions on your mac, in case there is a problem with your iSync-related files. I would also try to remove the device from iSync, repair the phone via the bluetooth prefs, then add it again to iSync (i.e. remove it and add it as a new phone). If you do this, then I would suggest checking the option to "erase device and copy from phone."
iSync has a log window viewable from the menu, next time it misbehaves you could see if there is an error.
Good luck.

p.s. the Apple discussion forums for iSync have talked about QD sync problems, so you might want to hunt that down on apple.com for more info.

I've never been able to get Calendar or To Do stuff on my QD from my mac. Contact sync some time occurs. I'm thinking an iSync update is necessary, but that will have to come from Apple.

No problem here syncing everything to my QD from iSync. Just wish there was a way to turn off alarms from iCal on the phone. All at once I mean.

Really? That's good to know. I guess the questions are :
What version of OSX are you using?
What firmware version are you using?
&
Which version of iSync?
😉 I finally found a solution for this problem. Hereis what I did:
1. I've installed most of the Applications on the Memory Card.
2. Installed Free Application "TaskSpy" downloaded from http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/nonagss60.htm on the Device.
3. Give the Command "Remove Memory Card" from the Power Button
4. Opened "TaskSpy" Before Sync and gave the commands: "Close All Applications" and "Restart Device"
5. Performed Sync - It works great
6. Inserted the memory card again
Note: Before I came up with this solutions I had to find wish applications cause the problem by installing them one by one (really anooying). I did a hard reset to my n-gage and I just installed friendly applications (minimal) on the card.
You can bet I'll try this!
Thanks for posting your findings.

If you ever have problems with iSync and your QD, check for any software incompatabilities. I found out that "ReadM" was giving me troubles and after deleting all traces of it, iSync 1.5 (v139) with, Mac OS 10.3.7 and iCal 1.5.5 worked again.
This guy at http://www.ultramookie.com/wayback/2004/08/31/n-gage-qd-errors/ also suggests incompatability issues with SailingClicker and GoBoy. Anyone can verify that?

Hey all, It seems I hadn't synced in a while, and I too got this error. It appears that some applications will screw up the sync. Since all of your apps should be on your memory card (and they should), simply removing the memory card before the sync will work just fine.
