I found a lot of questions and answers about sync issues with htc sync but I was wondering if anyone has had this issue. I have the sync setup for conflicts to use the last modified item. I had several appointments that I had scheduled that entered into my Hero. When I got home I synced it so they would be in my outlook calendar. Sure enough it did add them to the outlook calendar but it deleted them from the phone right after adding them. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Hi all. I hope someone out there can help me. I am having a big headache with outlook at the moment. I am using a T-mobile touch plus with Outlook 2007 since Febuary and have had no problems with the device syncing using Activesync. Within the last week I plugged my touch in and Active sync said that I need to resync all contacts, I have no idea why, and when it synced it left out almost half the contacts. I have looked through all the contacts that didn't sync and can not see any pattern in why they haven't synced and other have. I don't think that I have changed anything on the phone, outlook or activesync. The contacts still exist in outlook. Activesync 4.5 has no settings for contacts to choose what to sync. I have tried to play with the catorgries to see if that made any difference. All the contacts are in the same contact folder as I only have one personal folder. I can not figure it out, and would love some help as I have lost all the usefull contacts on my phone. Please help!!! Cheers in advanced
Before I got my WinMo phone I had all my email accounts in outlook, along with my contacts and calendar. I consolidated all of my email accounts into my gmail account. Imported all of my contacts and calendar entries.
I downloaded my emails to my phone through an IMAP connection, I sync my calendar entries between the phone and gmail. Is there a way I can sync my contacts from my phone to gmail without going through outlook on my computer?
I want to eliminate the middle man (my computer) in all the syncing so all of my stuff is available through my phone or gmail so that way if i'm at a friends and don't have my phone or computer I can still access information if need be.
With the contacts, in case its not clear enough, I synced all my contacts from outlook to my phone when I got it. I then imported all of my contacts from outlook into gmail. Now I get a call on my phone and then add that number as a new contact. How do I sync that new number into gmail without going through outlook?

tried looking here?
I was searching syncing gmail contacts windows mobile instead of pocketpc and gsync wasn't coming up on my search. Ill have to give it a try later. OGG Sync says it does contacts but the only thing I can find on it is calendar.
Thanks for the help
Gsync doesn't sync contacts from the phone to google. Somebody has to be doing this?
Try nuevasync.com
plexo.com + rememberthemilk.com + mesh.com = complete outlook replacement
Is paid service ($50/yr) but is by far the best I've ever used. Will sync your contacts and calendar with device/outlook/google/yahoo etc. I also use rememberthemilk to sync taks online, and Live Mesh for files and photos. Using Linux as a main OS forces you to find all the best-of-breed non-MS solutions, it's entirely possible to ditch outlook and still have 100% functionality replaced with online cloud services.
Hi guys,
I just bought Samsung i5700. Has android 2.1. I use win 7, KIES and I can't sync my contacts and my calendar. For contacts only syncs 1080 contacts and in calendar none.
For me also interesting would be installing WinMobile 6.5 on this phone ... it's more easier solving.
Can i get an app or something to solve this?
Thanks
The most promising thing I know of is Android-Sync. It works similar to HTC sync. There's a desktop app and a phone side app. When you plug in the phone, it syncs.
It's pre-alpha right now, but it will sync contacts and single calendar entries. Recurring appointments are not yet supported. I'm waiting for that to be added and then I should be able to use it.

I have been using gSyncit ($14.99) from www.daveswebsite.com.
It syncs Outlook's contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes to/from Gmail. Notes have to free from special characters in order to sync (Google problem).
I've been using Google Calendar Sync. It requires a gmail account and had some trouble syncing older recurring appointments. but for the most part it works.
I use a program called "Go Contact Sync" for contacts... I have one contact that ir refuses to sync but it does alright for me besides that.
Both are free.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I would not like to share my details with Google or gmail.
The sync works super, but it would not put more than 1080 contacts . Also, in calendar widget it would show me not today's event about to come, but events for the next days. Quite tricky .
Would be nice to finalize this android app ... would work nice, not like that stupid Samsung software
Regards

wow the holy grail. Sync via USB and none of that cloud stuff.
So I have 2 main email Adresses conected with my Phone.
One is my Xbox live account and the second one is the Primary calender and Gmail account I use. Both are Gmail Accounts.
The Problem is that the calender syncs neither of those accounts.
How do I fix that?
it is set to Sync in the options.
Thanks in advance!
wp7 can currently sync the 'main' calendar from any of your email accounts. It wont sync either of them? It should be able to sync both calendars if you want to (only the primary calendar for each).
Thanks for the quick reply
so I tested it with both accounts. It does sync the calender if I enter the date on the pc, but it does not sync it back to the gmail calender if I create the event on the phone.
hmm..that is weird. I put things on my phone all the time, and they end up in my online calendar as well. Although I just use my hotmail calendar.
Try unchecking the sync with calendar box, and redoing it. I really don't know why it only sync's one way, maybe somebody else can chime in?
I know thats the weird thing.
So i did some testing the primary email acc is the [email protected] addy, but the main acc I use is the other one.
If i use the calender on gmail it wont work, but it will copy from the hotmail cal to the phone but not back to the hotmail cal.
And my main acc doe not sync at all.
it is very weird, maybe because I have two accs?
I just tested with my Google Calendar. Put in an appointment on phone, and it was up online within seconds.
Then I deleted that event online, and was taken off phone. I then added a different one online, and it was sent to the phone calendar almost instantly.
Worked very well, so not sure whats causing your issue
I downloaded the outlook connector and went through the entire tutorial and i believe i set up my contacts and calender correctly. All the contacts and calender entries from outlook are now in my windows live account, and are also on my HTC trophy.
The problem i'm running into is now that it doesn't actively sync and keep my live entries up to date. If i add a new contact in outlook, i dont see it in live or on my Trophy, and the same with new calender entries.
I feel like i'm missing something small, but i just cant seem to figure it out. I tried deleting the live calender in outlook and recopying it again, and that worked to show new entries, but it still does not actively sync with new entries.
Make sure you're adding to the right calendar and contacts, there is at least 2 of each, contacts will have something like contacts and then contacts from "live account username", calendar you'll need to tick the box for calendar from "live account username" and add your entries to that calendar to get them on your phone. As an aside do you only use outlook for your live account?
No i use outlook for business email, contacts and calendar.
I'm attempting to delete the entire Live account from outlook and also clear my contacts, and calendar from hotmail then add everything again. Hopefully it works this time.
So just so i'm correct in my way of thinking, once Outlook connector is configured correctly it should automatically sync your contact and email 3 ways between the WP7 Smartphone, Windows Live, and Outlook? and for most people is this working flawlessly?
Yes thats right, anything you add to Outlook against your Live bits will sync to Windows Live which in turn will sync to your phone and any combination of adding on one will update the other two, it's not instant but will all catch up eventually (think mainly down to how you have your sync intervals)
ah, now i see where the confusion comes into play.
Only the Live(hotmail) profile in outlook will sync with the rest. Not my original profile. SO that means if i create a new calendar item in my regular POP account, i have to copy it over to my Live account in order for it to sync with the cloud, and then my trophy.
Seems like the simpler thing to do would be to use gmail calender sync. At least that doesn't require redundant sync's.
at least we know that MS thought it through
