Hey guys!
Just wondering does anybody have any of the google apps.. i would like to use gmail, calendar and other google apps.. but it wont let me download the apps.. does any one know why?
or even better if any body has the .cab files for google apps, would be much appreciated!!
thank you
indeed this would be useful, any help?
Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I know Google apps are not installed on your PDA. You access them thru your browser or thru Active Sync and your standard email account.
I get my email from gmail, sync my calender and contacts with google thru Active Sync as if I access a Exchange Server.

Google do offer some applications that you can install on your PDA. There was a gMail client that they were promoting for a while. There is also a synchronisation application that works between gmail contacts and the contacts on your phone (I am sure that you can Google these applications )
I don't think that the client was successful as other clients like Fring allow you to connect to multiple IM systems.
Try with IE mobile, it worked fine for me...
Maybe google website doesn't recognize the D2 Opera browser as a Windows Mobile browser

Hello,
I have a problem using Google calendar from my s710, ultimate I would like to get oggsync to work but it seems I can't even log in to Google calendar via IE or Opera on my phone. I just get an "oops, your calendar is not available right now" error.
Did some searching and found that I need NETCF sp 2 to get it to work, however it seems like that is already installed on mine. Atleast that is what the cab says when I try to install it.
Anyone has any ideas?

Today it works to log in via IE but oggsync still don't work. Tried gmailsync 1.3 instaed and got it working
Now I can edit my calendar on Google via a desktop computer and sync it over without having to edit stuff directly on the phone. My hands are not designed to push the phonebuttons so much hehe.

Opps, should be gMOBILE sync... http://www.codeplex.com/gmobilesync/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4142
Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

Ok so when I go into settings on my phone and enter my gmail account information that takes care of sycning for the phone as in contacts etc... and all that but it also serves as my gmail client account. I personally don't like the gmail client at all and I actually like the built in mail client in Android a lot better... However if I delete the gmail profile, it would get rid of my contacts as well as I wouldn't be able to use the market... I don't want both clients taking up memory and checking for new mail etc... How do I disable or even uninstall the gmail client?
Hmm... no one? Is this is the wrong section?
I don't think you would gain anything by trying to remove it (although you can do that on one of the custom ROMs) but you can disable Gmail syncing in Settings/Account and Sync Settings.
Anyone know how i can sync my yahoo mail account (yahoo mail app) to my phone ????
Hi,
1. you can install the "Yahoo! Mail for Android" app from the Android Market (it's free). It works well and gives you full access to your contacts & folders, which I find very handy. You can move mails into your folders and they will sync with your main account.
2.you could create a mail account directly on your phone by running the app "Setup" and following the prompts or
3. Menu / Settings / Accounts & sync / Add account and follow the prompts.
For me no. 1 is best. Btw this is for a HTC Desire with standard ROM on V2.2,
Hope this helps. Cheers .....
I agree, the Yahoo Mail app works pretty good. The only downside is that even though it knows when you get new mail, it doesn't download it or update the folder views until you open that folder, so there's a lot of your time wasted while it refreshes the folder.
K9 mail surely works for Yahoo, as it does for any IMAP or POP provider.
Can someone upload or send a link to the latest Yahoo! Mail apk. I found version 1.0.1 online but it now tells me that I have to have a required update to v1.0.4. Unfortunately, my tablet doesn't have full market access (yet!). Thanks in advance.

+1 for K9, I have it fetching my Yahoo, Hotmail and doing Push for my multiple Gmail accounts. Does folder/labels too.
Sure, but it doesn't support the "push" part. You have to check the Yahoo mail manually. It sux big time, if ya ask me...
I've tried every possible setting (servers/ports/encryption) but you still have to check manually. *sigh*
Hi,
I have a Samsung Nexus S
Android version 2.3.3
Baseband version I9023XXKB3
I would like to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with the phone using my USB cable and I am having a problem as Samsung Kies doesn’t recognize my phone.
Is there any other software for Nexus S or do I have to install some different drivers?
I am using Windows 7.
Thanks for any help.
sync your outlook to Gmail account
then sync the phone to Gmail
it is a Google phone, it is a pure Google experience, not friendly bridge to Microsoft / Outlook
you will need this https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync
Thanks for the link. I will try to do this, as I have a company shared Outlook Calendar, so all my Coworkers can put my meetings into it.
I have to have the option to select which calendar to Sync as I am not using the main Outlook calendar.
Will report later if it works, as I am currently out of office. Thanks so far.
nexus s does not work with samsung kies.
Go to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Add Corporate.

that's for Exchange server sync, not outlook
unless that's what they OP is trying to do
Nexus is Google device though Samsung is the manufacturer, hence Samsung kies will not support Nexus S

It all depends on how things are configured. My company uses google enterprise, so we have access to activesync on our google mail. We also use the apps syncronization tool to keep outlook perfectly sync'd with gmail.
So in some cases, this would be a good solution to sync everything.
When I try to install Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook® I get this error:
Error signing in
Google Apps Sync is not enabled for your email account. Please ask your domain administrator to enable it.
I have a custom domain and I am not using Google as a "provider".
did you login with your gmail account on the plug in settings?
either that or it needs Admin permission in your local machine, to enable the plugin in outlook (insufficient privileges or system policies in windows)
Yes, I loged in with my gmail account and the msg came out.
I guess I will need a custom software like this one:
gSyncit
Is there any free program like that?
I use outlook calendar sync with google calendar and the nexus calendar. Works very fine. You will need, on the computer where you have outlook,na little program from google to help syncing. Search on google help, its all in there!
Yes I know about that one, but it syncs the default calendar only. I have a company shared calendar listed under the default calendar and the software from google doesn't allow to select "sub-folders". :/
Some of my newer contacts are not synching with either my Google Contacts or my Outlook.com contacts. I'm on a Nexus 5 running Android 5.1.
I use Outlok.com for my primary repository for contacts and calendars, however I use GSyncit add-on for MS Outlook (desktop) to sync my desktop Outlook contacts and calendars to Google. This way I can use Outlook.com or Google Calendar / GMail to access/share my calendar and access contacts depending on the situation.
Everything is working fine on the desktop end so that is irrelevant to this problem (so probably shouldn't even have wrote the above paragraph - but just in case.)
I see there is a new Google Contacts app on the phone and on the web. I noticed this when I clicked on the People app and it said the app was missing. When I go to the web version of Google Contacts via my Google account, there are no contacts there! All my contacts are still in Gmail though of course.
I see that when I attempt to edit an older contact on the phone, it first prompts me with which Google account I want to sync with. I don't need to sync my phone contacts directly with Google, I just want to sync with Outlook.com -> Outlook -> Google (via GSyncit) but I suppose it wouldn't cause a problem if I just had the phone sync to both accounts (probably will then need to disable GSyncit contact sync between Outlook desktop and Google).
What is weird is that it is like Google made the mistake of launching this new contacts app, but there's no notice or migration instructions on the changes with the new app. I just happend to discover something was "unhooked" by trying to edit a contact! I just discovered the new Contacts app on the web by Googling, Google Contacts. I'm technically saavy and somewhat of an Android Wonk, and am surprised this is all a surprise!
Do I have to go try to edit every single contact on the mobile Contacts app now to select which Google account it syncs with? I HOPE NOT!
At the risk of appearing dumb I'm leaving my original post for background. It appears this is (not surprisingly) all a Microsoft issue. When I went into the Outlook.com app on my phone, when you click on the Contacts and Calendars Sync setting, nothing happens! Come to find out this app is no longer on the play store. It appears to have been replaced earlier this year by the Microsoft Outlook Preview. Installed that app, and it doesn't and an account type to the phone! So it appears, unlike the Outlook.com app, it won't sync calendars and contacts with the native Android calendar and contacts app. It's as if Microsoft is trying to make you use their new app instead of the stock Android apps that just sync with the Outlook.com account? Please say this isn't so!

Microsoft confirmed.
Your question on Microsoft Community has received a reply from Tushar Tiwari.
Title: How To Sync Contacts & Calendars with Native Android Phone Apps?
Reply
Hi,
Unfortunately , by design, it is not yet possible to sync your Android phone contacts to your Outlook.com account.
Note: At the moment, you can only sync Outlook.com contacts to your android phone.
Please provide your suggestions/opinion as a feedback to the development team. To do this, click on the gear icon on the top right corner of Outlook.com homepage and select 'feedback' from the dropdown menu.
Hope this information is helpful.

However, this isn't that big of a deal as I come to find out, even though there is no longer an Outlook.com account type on the phone any more, you can use the Exchange account type and use server address: s.outlook.com and then you can sync everything. Why the MS Tech didn't point this out it baffling.
(big middle finger for you Microsoft)
