Transferring Google Address book to WM 6.5 - General Questions and Answers

I have a G1 currently and have purchased an HD2, is there a way to transfer my contacts from my G1 to the HD2?

think you can google some programs which let you
1. sync your outlook contacts if you use outlook with google
2. sync your contacts directly from your wm6.5 to google
may not be free though

Activesync Replacement

Hi all,
Does anyone know of an alternative to Activesync that allows the direction of sync'ing to be specified.
Our users are struggling with Activesync as deleting a contact from their device also results in the contact being deleted from their Outlook account next time they sync.
I'm looking for something that will sync everything to the device, but not delete from Outlook should any changes be made on the mobile device.
Phone in question is a Wizard.
Thanks.
Nick.
Does the lack of response mean that nothing is available like this?
Have you looked at Intellisync or PocketMirror for WinMobile? I'm certain both have that ability.
http://www.sync.com/is_desktop_main.html <-- Intellisync
http://www.chapura.com/pmp_wm.php <-- Pocket Mirror
exactly what i was looking for
Pocket Mirror is way better.
and also found exactly what i needed LivePIM to sync PalmOS to PPC, and vice versa
A free alternative to activesync if you just want to keep your calendar synchronised is to use Google Calendar in the middle.
Google calendar can be set up to synchronise with Outlook using the Google Calendar Sync software. I then use the freeware version of OggSync to synchronise Google Calendar with my Windows Smartphone.
It works for me!

Outlook & Hotmail

First post....first question
Hi guys, i was looking for a way to syncronize my hotmail account with pocket outlook, is ti possible??
On my pc i've installed "Outlook Connector" to sync them...
...something similar for ppc??
I searched through the forum but i haven't found anything
Sorry for my bad bad English...
Probably a lot easier to use Pocket MSN.
If you try and create an Outlook account to hotmail from Mobile 5 onwards it will probably start Pocket MSM anyway.
you can go to hotmail's website, look for the perferences requires to setup your mail account.. and then go to Messaging/Menu/Options and click New Account
insert all email account properties.. and voila.
On my phone that would not work. (Qtek 9100 WM5.0(Wizard))
As soon as you create an account of the form [email protected], the New Account wizard is cancelled and you are dumped into Pocket MSN whether you like it or not.

I think "nir36" means to go with your PC on Option page of your hotmail account...and than select the option to redirect all received mail to a NEW account!!
Am i right??
If so...i'd like to use my actual address, but if there's no way...
...i'll use Pocket MSN
Thank you guys!!
How to get Hotmail on your Windows Mobile phone
The easiest way (if you want over-the-air sync, data charges apply of course) is to use Windows Live Mobile:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
Install the cab, run the program and enter your hotmail address and your password. you can then choose whether you want to sync your address book and/or your emails to the phone.
Your Hotmail account appears within Pocket Outlook as a separate account.
After the first sync, you can then set up your emails to be pushed to the phone, sync'd at regular intervals, or only when you initiate it.

wow, this is a real complete application, i'm playing with it now and i'ts ok!!
the wizard is simple and everithing works; it creates a "Windows Live" account under the Outlook one in the ppc!!
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Sadly, Windows Live Mobile still doesn't allow task and calendar sync with Windows Live Calendar.
So, if you want to go a step further and cut your ties with the PC and abandon ActiveSync altogether, I'd suggest you use Google Calendar for that function instead.
Web (Google Calendar) to phone (Pocket Outlook) two-way sync can be achieved via Google Mobile Sync which uses Exchange, and can run in parallel with Windows Live Mobile.
For PC (Outlook Calendar) to web (Google Calendar) two-way sync, just use Google Calendar Sync.
Voila! No need to dock your phone to your PC for PIM synchronization.
i assumed you have WM6..
A related question, I used to sync my hotmail account using pocket outlook, but here is what I actually wanted:
1. I want to download the mails as usual, but do NOT want them to be deleted from the server when I delete them from the device, is there anyway to do it (I am using WM 6.1 Pro and my hotmail account is non premium).
Thanks

Windows Live Services

I have a Symbian phone at this moment (Nokia E71)... and I use as my primary personal email. a hotmail account with all the services attached (messenger, mail, skydrive, calendar, photos, spaces)... thatțs why I wanna go to a windows phone (maybe HTC Snap)...
My question is how are those services integrated into a windows phone?... a 6.5 windows mobile powered phone... I know that by installing windows live messenger you have acces to messenger and email (push like email)... but is it possible to sync also contacts and calendar?... because this way I would have everithing I need on the web, on my Windows 7 laptop and also on my mobile phone...
So please post your opinion regarding this integration...
is there a way to sync the windows live calendar with the hd2 calendar?
Well only Hotmail, Photos, Messenger, Home, Spaces, Profile and People (Contacts) works on a Windows Mobile device. Calendar sync maybe can be done by syncing it with Outlook on PC and then with PDA, but I'm not sure.
all of that using myphone app i suppose....
i really like how i have all my contacts on hotmail... and synced with my hd2... it would have been excelent if it was the same with calendar... after all you need contacts, email and calendar...

[Q] windows 7 and omnia 7

Hi peeps,
Never even seen a Samsung omnia 7, but tonight I was asked how you would sync MS Outlook contacts and calender from windows 7 pc to the Samsung omnia 7
I couldn't answer at the time because my last windows phone was a HTC HD2 running 6.5 and syncing that with XP seemed to be a bit backward compared with my old HTC Blueangel and ActiveSync.
Can you please point me / her in the correct direction. She has a pop email account, not hotmail and apparently is finding it a little difficult to find instructions for anything other than an MS Exchange setup.
I did a search and saw a few references to wireless sync, what's the way forward please?
If this MS outlook hotmail connector "Work around" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqJL9X0oqIk is the only work around then MS are truly nuts, what an own-goal. iPhone & Android have better sync capabilities with MS Outlook
you have to setup the phone to synchronize with Windows Live Website and then add in outlook (2007>2010) the hotmail account as mail account.
It will download the "hotmail connector" to download all data from windows live.
you can also use windows live mail 2011 instead of outlook (free and easy to use)
MSFT have stated pretty clearly that the future is in the cloud. Actually Windows Live mail is an excellent implemenation of cloud & local e-mail integration.. If you want to use google mail or something else, then fine, (and WP7 is fine with that too) .. but I don't know why MSFT have to support possible e-mail configurations - for free. If you don't want to play it their way try nuevasync, pipe everything via their service & connect as an exchange server.

[Q] 'webcal://' agenda problems.

I want to share my calendar from Outlook to automatically OTA sync to my htc DS.
With my iPhone, this wasn't a problem, but nowhere in the calendar application, or the accounts and synchronisation tab in settings to be found.
Does anyone know anything about this?
If you're coming from MS Outlook there are two extremely useful tools made by Google to get you started:
1) Google App Migration for MS Outlook http://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration
Which will migrate your MS Outlook contacts/calendar and emails to your new google account.
2) Google calendar sync http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
Which will enable you to continue to sync your MS Outlook and google calendars should you choose, or can simply be used to migrate your MS Outlook calendar to google calendar. It performs three types of sync (2-way, 1-way : Google to outlook and 1-way Outlook to Google (great for the initial migration)) so you can continue to use both calendars if you wish.
There are dozens of ways to do this and many third party, I'm sure that everyone has a way thats suits them that they'll recommend, this is mine.
Basically you sync your OUTLOOK with Google using Google calendar sync and then Sync your phone to Google.
