[Q] Calendar and Contacts help? - G Tablet General

Has anyone found a way for the calendar and contacts to sync with your Gmail account. I know that the CM6.1 did it when I used it for a day but how about TnT or ZPAD builds?
I'm kinda surprised I haven't heard more about this. With all the developments making this a fully functional tablet you'd think more people need / want this.
Is there a way to extract those from the CM Build and dump them in? Or, Rothnic, with the Galaxy Theme can we extract the calendar and contacts from them somehow?
Or.... has this been done and I've completely missed it?

I think that if we could get the galaxy tabs email and calendar on the g-tab taht would be even better!!!!

Yes, please! I am running stock now that the update came out. Added Gmail, Market and Maps manually per another post, but I would really like to have the calendar as an app. Galaxy versions would be amazing!

Is the issue just not having the calendar app? I'm about to update zpad and i can include it.

Both of these were changed in TNT Lite 2.00, at the advice of another user who was looking for Exchange support (insight3fl). There could be other changes.
It's not something I use daily on this tablet, so I have to follow the advice of others with these apps.

Well... Ok, dunno if it was changed in the last zpad build but now all is working. The only other change I made was the market hack (and the angry bird hack) but all is working now
AGAIN, thanks roebeet and rothnic for all the hard work and all the others for your continued efforts. Yes I know there are still standing issues but this tab has become very tolerable in such a short time. I do empathise for those who want perfection right out of the box, and I'm limited in my android experience, but I've yet to see any device that would suit everyone's need stock.
Thank god for open source.

Any idea on 2.02 TNT lite how to enable exchange on the calendar?

I can only speak for my self, but the contact and calendar are one of the main draws for me. Having my phone and PC share all of this with the tab is primo.
Contacts seems to work (Sometimes spotty), but I have yet to get my google calendar to sync on the tab?

Thanks I will give that a try tonight and post up my findings.

Downloading Google Contacts
Folks - read the threads, but all contact issue workarounds seem to involve TnT Lite/rooting, and I haven't rooted (yet). I'm going to give VS a chance during the 20 Dec update to prove they are continuing to upgrade the product. I have one nagging issue - can't complete the Google contacts download - it stops at step 2 of 5 and says "unable - check internet connection" - which of course is not the issue. Makes sending emails a real pain.
Anybody else have this problem and have a workaround? I downloaded the contacts manually as csv and vcf files, but can't get the G Tab to recognize them (or let me move them from the Downloaded Attachments folder to the SD Card main folder)...
Thoughts?

Automatic forwarding of SMS to email account?

Hello again... I have another question. I'm looking for some way to automatically forward a copy of sms messages that I get to an email account so I don't have to worry about backing them up.
Is there anyone that knows of a way to do this?
Thanks...
Marc
If no one else can think of a way, I think I know how it could be programmed... but a local solution would be more convenient.
What device/OS are you using?

Nice to hear from you...
I'm on the blueangel (o2 XDAIIs)... wm2003 v1.42
It would be awesome if it was possible... even if it was a registry tweak or something.

Not free, but the best. Perfect integration with Microsoft Outlook. I use it since 6 months and no problems. Excelent.

bye
Thanks for the reply... I have that program as well... It does in fact work pretty good... Seems the first version I had came with a few bugs like not reporting the time correctly when I would copy messages back onto my device and not transferring the body of "sent" sms message.. but I got the newest build and it seems to have sorted those issues out.
I also went on to their forum and they don't seem to be supporting the product any longer... at least that's how it seems from their lack of answers to questions people have had lately... (Since June or July I think)
I would still really like to send a copy to my gmail account for archival purposes... if anything a little macro that automatically creates a copy and puts it in my email inbox which I can send manually later...
I know it's a bit of an unorthodox request... but it sure would be nice to have it backed up in real time and on a server somewhere...
Thank you for the suggestion though... I do appreciate it.

syncing with mac

I am an avid mac user and was wondering if anyone elese on her uses one with winmo phones? how do i sync my phone to my mac or better yet get it to show up on my mac so i can add program, movies, songs, ect.
thanks in advance
anyone
anyone???????
Yeah sure, I posted on bluetooth syncing with mac which I later figured out how to. I use the missing sync which works wonderful, If you need to figure out how to use bluetooth read my other post here or PM me, cheers
yeah i am on the freeware side of things thanks for that though at least there are a few programs out there that i can rely on if needbe
You should definitely check out Missing Sync. It's well worth the money, IMO. I haven't seen any "freeware" that has anywhere close to the same functionality.
so i got VMWare Fusion 2 and am working on getting it to sync in my windows window and will keep you guys updated on how that works out
You can also use Syncmate, the basic version is for free.
I'd be interested to hear about that. Have you considered using crossover (it's probably what I would use if I needed to install some windows apps on my mac). Why haven't you just bought the missing sync??? Let me know how you like it and also for what apps do you use it? cheers

Does the full version transfer all my phone contacts with pictures? The same goes for my songs on iTunes?
Please let me know.
Missing synch does it's job partially here. It refuses to synch my calender with Entourage, and with calender.app...
No idea why.
I use missing sync too. syncs everything perfectly with entourage 2008 (12.1.0). Even time sync.
Have only used USB though, didnt try bt yet.
Also, it keeps whining that the computername of my macbook is too long -_-
Still, great program
yeah i was going to get missing sync but my i got a copy of windows for free and vmware i had laying around. the only problem i have is that i cant get windows to open discs..
also is there any way to use the front camera to take pictures?
also is there an AIM app out that will work over wifi?

Fixed this yesterday. After removing all calenders except the entourage one in iCal it worked.
Question:
How do I copie Files to the Storagecard, using the phone, instead of the extract Micrisd-connect to MBPro?
In other words, how do I make OSX see my phone as storage?
As you connect your phone you'll see three options, active sync, disk drive and internet sharing. Selecting disk drive does exactly what you need

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

[req] gmail app apk?

I dunno where to exactly ask this, but the Eris just recently got 2.1 leaked however one of the issues I have noticed that the gmail app is not loading pics for some reason. So, I was wondering if there was a kind developer/user that is willing to give us the N1's gmail 2.1 apk so we can install it on our 2.1 device and see if that fixes the issues. Thank you.

You could just download gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed (here) and extract Gmail.apk.
And that has the 2.1 gmail apk? Thanks
Should I also install the GmailProvider.apk also? If so, what order? Thanks.
I guess when I click on the gmai apk, either one, I can't install it as it shows it is installed and when I hit uninstall it doesn't work.
Turns out, the issue may not be gmail per-say but something about the leaked update not allowing full access to the internet.
Do you have the Desire apk(including sense apks) to upload?
It is a problem with gmail http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2507 not with the leaked rom.
again how did i not have that issue with 1.5?

That's a question best asked to Google, not XDA. This problem affects handsets across multiple versions of Android. I couldn't care less though. I can't f'ing stand inline images. Attach or don't send me anything.
Yeah, the more I am started reading more I notice it an Android problem and not an issue with the leaked 2.1 rom. Thank you all.
