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
Hi, I have installed Google Apps in my Olivetti Olipad.
Now the official market work, but I need the sync of calendar.
Which apk files I need for work the google account sync?
Thanks.
Would it be possible to tweak the Google Music apk so it would sync multiple accounts? Or would this have to be done in the ROM?
Just sign out and sign in with the other account. Or sync both accounts so you only need one

When syncing multiple accounts the option for syncing Google Music is not available for the second account you sync. And signing in and out everytime you want to access your music on the other account is a bit annoying.
*bump*
I'm looking for this as well. Apple has an app called "app for google music" which allows multiple google music accounts for streaming only, still cool. Has to be some alternative like this for Android.
Hi all,
I have been Android user for about 2-3 years and have own Google Apps domain and services.
I am really liking Nokia Lumia 800, one of reasons also is that I am Windows developer and using Windows Phone makes sense for me, as I can support Windows Phone as well.
What I am worried is how to use Google services on WP7.5. How do you sync contacts with Google Apps, IMAP emails, calendar? Most used services right now on my phone.
1. Is there a live contacts update as android? Or just plain CSV import/export?
2. IMAP? Works well with labes as well? I have around 40-50 labels for different companies
3. Calendar sync? Same as #1?
Or is this phone primarily aimed at MS services like exchange, skydrive and others and if I want to keep google apps I should just stick to android.
Thank you for your opinions.
From what I heard, Google users with windows phone don't have any problems with syncing, although the only drawback is that multiple calendars aren't support yet, but can be done by adding multiple Google accounts (seems pointless).
Since you are a windows developer, you can use your primary live ID to windows phone to use microsoft services, and add your google account with the stuff you already have such as contacts, calendar, email. For cloud storage, the default will obviously be skydrive (7GB).
About the first question, if you are talking about Google+, then no, windows phone only shows contact updates from twitter, facebook and linkedin.
Google mail, contacts, and calendar sync seamlessly with wp 7.5. Also govoice works perfect for Google voice. I've had NO issues bringing my Google services over as I develop for windows also. I have an HTC radar I use along with my SGSII. I also have been with Android since Android 1.5 and found using windows phone fun. Good luck with your decision.

Multiple calendars are supported

WP7 comes with a built-in template for Google accounts. By default, these sync calendar, mail and contacts, and they all sync automatically in real-time (or on a polling schedule, if you're concerned about the battery usage).
I believe it actually uses Google's implementation of ActiveSync (like Exchange) since that handles the various features under one protocol. You can certainly use IMAP as well, if you want to for some reason. Note that under both IMAP and EAS, Gmail will pretend your labels are folders. You can sync multiple folders just fine, and pin specific folders for one-click access.
That said, Android definitely has better support for Google stuff, unsurprisingly. The hardware search button goes to Bing. The phone offers integration with SkyDrive but not Google Drive, and Sharepoint but not Google Docs (although you may be able to use Google Docs via the browser; I haven't tried). Google+ works in the browser but is completely absent from the integrated social networking features. There are many third-party apps that support Google Talk quite well, but only the Facebook and Live mesaging networks are built into the phone.
Thank you all for responses.
I dont really care for Google+, Google Talk would be good (someone pointed that there is app already for it).
So it means that if I delete contact on WP7.5 it will immediately actualize Google App servers and contacts will be deleted for all other devices as well, right? Same for calendar (I use only one, no problem).
Are there any things I should be aware of? Mass storare is not much problem, what about car navigation? alternative to google my tracks?
Thanks.
The OS has a built-in navigation feature, but it's... limited (some would say crippled). It won't tell you as a turn approaches, or where to go next in general, unless you tap the screen.
There are plenty of navigation apps, though. I am, however, unfamiliar with "my tracks" so I'm not sure cow that compares.

Yes, WP7 immediately (or atleast within a few minutes) updates your Google calendar and contacts.
Hello all,
A month ago I bought the Chinese version of Xiaomi 12 . The phone came with Pre-installed Basic google services, But I am feeling it's not working fine .(to my knowledge I do have all google services installed)
problems are:
1. Google accounts sync are giving sometimes failure to automatically sync, so I sync them manually and it works, I am not sure what subjects need to be synced or where I can find the synced data on google drive (For example in my case Google News doesn't sync even manually and it gives error *The app is installed*)
2. I am having trouble syncing Xiaomi Calendar with Google calendar (I prefer working on Xiaomi calendar, google looks a bit messy for me)
in Xiaomi calendar I didn't have the option to add google account for unknown reason (unlike what guides on the web suggesting), I can only Import file/Link, But it didn't work with Google calendar's link
so I downloaded google calendar app and once opened it was added automatically on Xiaomi calendar's accounts but still it took a day or two for appointments from google to appear even after manual sync .(In Calendar's accounts I can sync each account manually but I need automation I can't always remember to sync them )
We all having appointments on google calendar and this is scaring me of missing them because it's not syncing right. I am a bit confused because Xiaomi has its own sync service to the cloud and on the other hand Google has one of its own to Google drive and no one wants to add each appointment twice on google and on Xiaomi calendar
* I Attached photos of my phone's Accounts & Sync section .
Can Anyone help me get through this ? is it possible to fix this and relax ?
