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.

there's a program called activegcsync, it is pretty good

woah way to bump and old thread.

hi, i developed a small tool to synchronize the google calendar with pocket outlook. is a beta but if you want to give it a glance. In future also sync contacts.
http://gsync.wordpress.com

Great app, works quite well.
One question though, I can't seem to be able to get the "Where" field to come across. Is this something missing in the app?

Also it could be cool to put a auto update every time we do a change on the calendar ....
or more simply every 15 minutes....
thx

Try www.nuevasync.com
It works fantastic with Google Calendar!!! PLUS there is no extra programs to install because it uses ActiveSync which is built in to WM6
Also, it sync contacts from Google Contacts or Plaxo... I honestly prefer Plaxo because it doesn't have the annoying "Suggested Contacts" and it keeps the format as last name first, but I would still recommend Google Contacts because there have been problems with Plaxo syncing due to "excessive usage" (according to Plaxo).
Hope it helps everyone

Activegcsync for multiple Google Calendar sync (WM5/WM6/WM6.5)
Try Activegcsync by Gil Milow. Unlike other software I have tried (eg. GMobileSync), it works very well for multiple calendars (and contacts). It is available free although I'm sure the developer would appreciate a donation for his efforts. It is software like this that at least keeps our Windows Mobile phones (WM5/WM6/WM6.5) functional.

Sync to outlook

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.

Outlook 2010 Sync of Contacts to G-Mail... BEST APP for this??

So I now love Android since getting an Android Gingerbread Tablet and Gingerbread phone... but the one thing I so far can NOT figure out how to do reliably and automatically is syncing my Outlook 2010 Contacts up to my Gmail account (which will then sync from Gmail to my android phone and tablet).
The only way I have been doing it right now is just export my Outlook contacts to a CSV.. then import the CSV into Gmail.. then Gmail syncs down to my phone.
Well this is not the 'automated' solution I am looking for. I have employees that update the Outlook 2010 contact information all day and then I never get the updates on my android phone when in the field. For me to do the CSV import thing every night is a real pain in the ass (my Outlook contact information changes daily btw).
I have a server that stays running all the time with Outlook 2010 installed... I do NOT use an Exchange server btw.. and I do NOT want to use exchange.. so that is out of the question. Basically I guess I am looking for some plugin or something into Outlook 2010 that can sync the 'CONTACTS' folder up with my specified G-mail account.. it would be great to also sync the outlook 'Calender' as well if possible.
and of course 2-way syncing would be ideal.. this way if I am in the field and I get a new contact.. I don't need to take the business card.. give it to my secretary.. who then puts into into Outlook... I would like to be able to the new or updated contact info right into my Android phone.. then it will sync up to Gmail... and then Gmail will sync it right back down into my Outlook system in the office... 2-way syncing automagically would be great!!!!
Thank you all very much for the tips!!! great forum!!!

I was just looking for something like this yesterday. I am in the process of testing Funambol right now. It seems to be just what I was looking for. I just hope it doesn't eat up battery.

let me know how you like it

you could use this
I previously used some Outlook connector but it was buggy and doesn't sync all info from. Same thing with CSV, not sure if all information is synced. If I recall correctly, there are some limitations on Google's side.
But if you have an Exchange account set-up on the phone, doesn't it intergrate all contacts? Why the need to have them in gmail if intergration takes place on your device?

I do NOT use exchange, and will NOT ever be using Exchange..

Sorry, Outlook for me is fully linked with Exchange... Assumption, the mother of all f#ckups
Right..
So but you must be using some kind of central email server that Outlook is connecting to when your secretarry is filing those businesscards.

MyPhoneExplorer?

CodeTwo Public Folders..
http://www.codetwo.com/public-folders/
it works like an exchange server sorta.. really cool program... takes all the hassle out of setting up and managing an exchange server..

Google Apps Sync for Outlook should work fine for you. I used that and the migration tool when we migrated the company to Google Apps. It should let you specify what you want synced as well.
We did not use Exchange either.

You can use gmail with POP3 in outlook - it will sync yer contacts.

How do you synch to Outlook?

How do you synch Calender and Contacts on the Skyrocket to Outlook on your PC? Coming from WM and then the Inspire it was really easy, but now I have no clue. I searched and found Deja Office and Companion Link to synch to Outlook, but it's unreliable at best. Please help! Thanks! While we're at it, is there any way to synch web Bookmarks?

Very easy. Download newest version of kies from Samsung site. Google it.

I did that, but no calender synch on it. Is there a version I'm missing?

I have some pretty good luck with myphonexplorer. It synced up my outlook contacts pretty well, two-way and all and free.
However, it has to be manually done. So I gave up and jumped on the Google bandwagon and went with their cloud setup. So now, my contacts and calendar are synced up perfectly. I have a separate sync process for files, notes e.g with Sugarsync.

Of course there is a calendar sync. What version of Kies did you download? You should be using Kies_2.1.0.11095_121_6.

I figured out how to synch calender in KIES. You have to click on the device after it's connected. Then the Synch menu will be available. Options for Synch are not visible unless your device is connected, and then only after you click on the device itself. The tree under the device includes contacts, but not calender. It wasn't obvious, at least to me, that I should click on the device itself. Weird. Having said that, it seems to work pretty darn well for contacts and calender!

how to sync Outlook tasks with Android phones?

Does anyone know how to sync outlook tasks with Android phones? I tried Gogtasks but that program is as buggy as hell when it comes to reoccurring tasks.
Does WP7 have better synchronisation with Outlook for appointments and tasks?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.basiliapps.tasks is doing a good job.

but I don't have an exchange account, I just use Outlook and hotmail.

Sense4's biggest plus is complete Outlook sync including but not limited to tasks ! I love it & the productivity skin is just amazing.

I'd love to hear about this too... I used to be a proud BB owner/user and loved how easy it was to sync everything with outlook....
It's so hard to believe that nobody wrote an app yet to do just that... if you go on google play/market you can find an app for just about anything.. even for stuff i would have never even in my wildest dream would ever imagined... but no outlook notes/tasks (OTA)... weird!!
I bet that if you search for "scratch my itch" app you'd even find that

There are many free or paid apps in Google play for synchronizing directly with Outlook.
Search for Outlook sync in Google Play.
You can try e.g. my app Local Sync which synchronizes tasks (recurrent too) and notes.

Use Tasks & Notes for MS Exchange, it is free and works fine for me.
You can find this in Google Play.

Hi, i think you can use MyPhoneExplorer

bye.

Is there any workaround for syncing Outlook tasks with Android over the air that still works?
