So I had this working at one point, but had to do a rom flash and seem to have lost the functionality.
I used to be able to accept a google calendar appointment that came in via email and it was added to my WM6.1 appointments.
I was using Ricky's 6.1 v17 rom but upgraded to the latest (v24 I think) while troubleshooting another issue. I'd prefer not to downgrade if possible (thereby having to set everything up again).
Can anyone help me undestand the regular way to accept the invite via email (invite.ics attachment) so that it populates my local calendar?
Like I said, it was working once before....so I know it's possible. I just don't know what the configuration requirment/dependency is.
Thanks
seriously? am I the only one intersted in this? Not even a nibble?

I have Duttys V1, which has served me beautifully, so I'm not in a hurry to update.
After I had to hard reset (and restored from backup with Sprite backup), I am missing Hotmail from my messaging accounts (I didn't backup email as I didn't expect to miss the whole account... the emails in the account I was not worried about). I've tried uninstalling reinstalling the latest Live cab (fixed) several times, but it never shows back up. The Live app shows it does syncing, but never the Hotmail screen is empty.
Anyone know how to resolve this? I think I've seen a DLL in the registry for it, but I don't know much about that stuff.
Thanks!
anyone? sorry to bump...
Even a "read the forums" response is welcome which would indicate that such a fix exists. My initial search through xda-developers yielded nothing.
Read the forums!!!!!!!!! You can find the cab for it everywhere. Did the new ROM say it had WLM? Or did you just expect it to be custom tailored for you?
Is that the kind of post you're looking for?
Anyway, Install this new version of MS Live Mobile (Not Live Search) from Alex & then go to Messaging & set up a new account instead of running the WLM app.
Thanks, I didn't see that one. I did try the one called "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).cab" which didn't fix the problem I had.
Dutty's V1 had Windows Live, but it was only after the hard reset the hotmail part disappeared (and could not be re-added either by re-running the Live app, or manually creating a messaging profile).
I now appear to have more problems (related?) which may necessitate a reflashing, so I may just have to update.
But thanks again for the file. I'll give a whirl!
Hi friends,
today is a very sad day!
I just received a mail that anounced "New Services" on nuevasync.com.
http://blog.nuevasync.com/blog/nuevasync/entry/new_services
http://www.nuevasync.com/nuevasync-personal.html
If you don't switch to the Basic 15$/yr / Premium 30$/yr Service it will stop syncing.
We have 5 days to switch to an alternative Service (web-based or installed Application).
Well i used nuevasync for syncing 9 GoogleCalendars and my Contacts to my TouchHD and everything works great.
Now I'm on a search for an alternative solution to get this job done.
I so far found ActiveGcSync. But I have to say it crashes pretty much, so it's no fun.
Do you have any other proposals?
kind regards
fwt
I'm in the same boat, just recently started using it again and was happy with it.
Not happy they have decided to stop being free (but that happens) and even worse only gave five days notice.
Not sure what to use instead... I'd pay $15 for life, but not each year.
anybody no of any alternatives, because I want to sync my contacts and multiple calendars to my windows mobile phone
The same here, I'm syncing contacts and 4 calendars at the moment. Any alternativies?
any word on alternatives?
I'm hoping this thread holds some hope:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793683
Until then, I am using gmobilesync, doesn't do contacts but that's fine for me.
I'm currently working on an alternative service. I dont have too much time to work on it, but I have some great ideas. If anyone wants to help me, feel free to join!

I've got lots of ideas too, unfortunately no capability to go anything technical to assist!
Send me a PM and let me know what you need done. I can help with some things, others I can't. I'll let you know what I can do to assist you though.
I tried gmobilesync but it double all my events. I think I will stay with normal sync described: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
but I will need to copy events I need to have in phone to my main calendar :/

I've never experienced doubling up (touch wood), had you already synced up?
As my main calendar is used very little compared to our shared one, I'm not going down the copying route.

yes :/
there were also forecast and holidays copied to my main calendar while using it :/
Thank you for your help. I wrote a small exchange server which can synchronize my google calendar with my phone. It was easier than I thought. I dont know how much work it needs but I think I can publish it in 1-2 weeks. Meanwhile you can write your ideas here. If anyone could lend me a server for this, that would be awesome.

Sorry, no programming capabilities, nor a server I can share.
However, some ideas:
- Ability to pick which calendars sync
- Ability to pick sync schedule (or always connected or only manually)
- Two way syncing (can't get gmobile syncing to go from WM to google), keeping to the correct calendar.
- Ability to pick one way syncing (either way required)
- Ability to pick the default calendar (for me, this is a shared family calendar, not my main google calendar).
- Ability to pick colours for each calendar (or take the same colours as set in google).
I may come up with other ideas, but that seems to be it for now. Personally I am not interested in syncing contacts or email. Contacts I want to keep separate from those I call and those I email, email works better on imap than activesync.
I did an update to EC10 and have lost the email program. Is there any way to recover that program so I can use my work(exchange) email and hotmail and sync them with my calandar? Yes I searched this problem before posting.
I will have same issue if I upgrade... anyone with an A: for the Q:?
It seems that the calandar is not working properly either. If I go into accounts it force closes.
I'm running pick and pack and I have the email app, i just checked the .zip and it's in there, what are you running?
I ran Pick and pack but maybe it is an older version. Do you have a link to the one you ran so I can go that route? Thanks for the reply
I used the updated version found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005167
It took FOREVER to download but all is working with my email and calandar now.
This has been bugging me for weeks and I've yet to hear a response from Nitrodesk's support team.
From the synced contacts list in the Touchdown app, when you long press on a contact and try to add it to phone, it will not show up on the phone's contact list.
I made sure the display settings were all checked off in Phone, SIM, and Google to make sure I can see everything.
This worked well for me on Froyo, but I have yet to get it to work on any 2.3.3. ROMs I've flashed.
Can anyone confirm they are having the same issue?
I am running Continuum 5.5 and I can copy contacts to my phone from Touchdown just fine. Have you tried selecting the menu option to copy all touchdown contacts to the phone or is this just a problem with individual ones?
I wouldn't expect any response from Nitrodesk support. They will use any excuse possible to not help you troubleshoot a problem if you are not running 100% stock. At least that is my experience. If you said Captivate and 2.3.3 in the same breath they will most likely ignore you now.

This is just for individual contacts that I want one-by-one from Touchdown to the phone. I can batch copy the entire list to the phone, but that's not what I want to do.
Are you referring to "Update Contact Changes to Phone"? If so, that's not exactly what I'm shooting for. Is there another setting I'm missing that helps with individual transfer?
NM. Problem solved, though I don't clearly remembering having to do this on Froyo.
I had to make sure that my Touchdown account was listed in Accounts and Sync. However, I couldn't just simply add it --- I pressed the Touchdown listing but it did nothing. I had to batch import my Outlook contacts so that it would get added on the overall accounts list. I was avoiding having to batch import so that's why it took me so long to get to this point.
Now that I have it listed, I could now add individual Touchdown contacts to Phone.
Again, I don't remember having to do this on Froyo, or that it added the account without my knowing it.
I've been using Hotmail since 1999 and recently I downloaded Hotmail for android app. Everything was smooth until I tried to enter a new contact, where I found that I cannot do that. Partially I mean. I can only enter the name field and nothing else. I cannot edit the synced contacts too.
because HTML mail was not possible with the default mail app in android and exchange in Hotmail, I used to forward my mail to Gmail and use the Gmail app.
I was very joyed with this app release and now facing this bug.
I googled but couldn't find any solution or similar bug reports.
Am I the only unlucky person or others have this problem too. I'd there any fix for this.
I have already tried removing and re-adding, uninstall and reinstall.
I am using cm7 on my wildlife.
Thank you in advance.

You are not alone! Still looking for a solution myself.
Have you tried using another email client and signing in through it?
Same problem here. Hotmail worked great through Activesync on Android, but this app is much nice. But contacts edit is not working at all !! And not found any fixes thus far.
-sony xperia arc w/stock kernel
Still to fix
Sorry to say that I am having the same issue. Have to been able to find a fix. Please let all know if anyone can figure this out.
Thanks.
Same problem here
I too have the same problem. I erased everything, tried with another gmail account, made sure to not sync anything with gmail, with no avail. This is a huge bug.
Response from Hotmail
So I contacted Hotmail about this issue. Here was there response:
"We aplogoize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please understand that the ability to edit contacts on Hotmail app for Android phones is currently not available. However, our product team was already aware of it and a fix is being considered.
Thanks,
Windows Live"
Hopefully this fix will be soon.
How silly to create an app without editing capability... i have switched back to exchange. works seamlessly.

No HTML mail with exchange on my Wildfire....
I'm looking for a solution to this one too. The Hotmail app is actually pretty good, but the inability to edit contacts is an odd bug.
Solution
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market. It lets you edit the hotmail contacts and sync them back up.
I've only tested it for about a minute, but it seems to work.
I gotta tell you.
I've done a research. Microsoft is aware of the issue since about November/December 2011. SEVEN (the actual manufacturer) confirms it and reports work in progress (in February/March?), an update to the app has been issues by the end of February but the issue has not been addressed and has not yet been resolved.
I used Microsoft's support forums to ask the question, how to sync the contacts then, if nothing works as intended.
One of forum's moderators confirmed the issue, another asked how did I exactly try to sync.
If you would be kind enough to visit the question page yourselves and click "I have that question too", I'd be thankful. Maybe they'd actually do something instead of constantly apologizing and confirming either the issue or the progress of the works...
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market like Joe USer and works ok
Microsoft ? SEVEN hotmail app
Microsoft + SEVEN app bugs. Please go here and vote:

use Contact Editor free by Marten Gajda.
worked for me.
Don't know why I never noticed this before when I was using my Galaxy S2 but it hit me today on my Nexus 4. I was trying to find out why Bluetooth handsfree calling through my Garmin wasn't working and it is because the Garmin has all my contacts showing last name first even though they aren't presented that way on the phone. When I tried to view the contact directly through the Contacts app, I saw that it was showing last name first and I couldn't edit the contact to try and fix it.
We are what, over a year since this was first recorded here and still no fix other than a third party app? This wasn't an issue on my BlackBerry.
On top of that, it makes handsfree unusable since there seems to be no way to get the contacts to list with the first name first. The contacts are all fine on Outlook.com so something is getting messed up with how they are presented in Android.
