Additional Information

On July 1, 2017 Esri retired the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile product and we encourage customers to migrate mobile field editing projects to Collector for ArcGIS app or another ArcGIS App available at http://www.esri.com/software/apps

Workaround

One potential workaround is to force the data extent to be really large in ArcMap for the desired layer, so that this problem does not happen in ArcGIS for Mobile. 1. Create a dummy feature class with the same projection as the field data.2. Add the feature class to ArcMap.3. Start editing the feature class.4. Zoom very far out in the map.5. Create a bunch of random features at the full map extent that fully encompass the project area. 6. Save the changes.7. Start another edit session, and copy/paste the points into the actual feature class.8. Save the edits.9. Delete the new features from the feature class being used for the field. Basically the whole point of this is to make the extents larger for the layer used for editing in ArcGIS for Windows Mobile, but the new features themselves can be deleted afterwards. There are other potential ways to import a larger extent into the layer in ArcMap, however this is just one simple way to do that.By increasing that initial extent in ArcMap to encompass the entire extent of the project area, the extent bounding boxes for the layers in both ArcGIS for Mobile and ArcMap must be large enough to allow for the sync to delete features successfully.
