Hi,
I yesterday downloaded HTC Sync 1.1 from the HTC website (Canadian support) - which now somehow has disappeared again.
In the setup dialog it says something about syncing the Outlook calendar. This would be a great feature!
I now tried to sync it with my Rogers ROM but I am only able to choose contacts.
Any ideas how to sync the calendar? Do we need a new PCSCII.apk?
Since I am unable to use the Exchange client due to PIN security restrictions it would be great if I could sync my calendar with HTC sync.
Any help appreciated!
Sorry for bumping but doesn't anyone have any idea?
Hi,
Apologies if Im posting in the wrong section or asking something that's been answered before.
I'm new to the Android scene with an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) and I want to sync contacts, calenders and notes stored in Outlook 2003 by connecting to my PC via USB. What tools are there out there that works like Active Sync?
Thanks.
Sync Outlook with Android
yes i was looking for that to...someone?
Thks
i think the best you can hope for is to export your contacts from outlook, and import them into your gmail account.
you can use google calender sync (search google) this will sync your outlook calender and gmail calender.
I'm not familiar with that phone, but it comes with 2.1 right? You can use the 'email' app to sync up with your exchange server. I don't think it will sync notes, but it can sync up contacts, email, and appointments.
You could also try touchdown from the market. http://www.appbrain.com/app/exchange-for-android-2-x/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid
It costs $20 after the trial, but works really well and will sync up everything you're looking for.
Thanks for the replies so far.
I don't want to sync with gmail, as sometimes I work offline, therefore need sync directly with Outlook. Also don't use Exchange, this is standard alone Outlook.
I've read HTC have a similar tool (HTC Sync ?) for Active Sync. Will this work on a San Francisco, which runs Android 2.1?
You need to downoal the program MyPhoneExplorer and connect your phone to USB, then follow the instuctions. To my mind this is the best free soft avaliable out there.
im on win7 ultimate. and i installed the htc sync just now, and all i see is there a option to only sync with windows contacts....not with outlook.
its not letting me choose outlook for contacts or calendar. so when it did sync, it just imported the phone contacts to wab.exe, which is the windows contacts, some cheeseball stuff...
anyone have a fix for this to make the htc sync sync with outlook properly like it use to?
The "On" buttons for syncing those two categories are greyed out.
I really would like to be able to sync my contacts to PC so I can edit them easier, since lots of duplicates show up in the Messaging contacts menu.
Any idea what I can do?
I have the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Have you downloaded and installed HTC Sync software on your PC.

I assume you aren't using a Google account for your contacts, the Sense contact database will use the HTC Sync software and want to hook into Outlook (or something else) on the PC. However, with a Google account, you can sync your contacts to the cloud and view them in GMail on the pc and edit there.
HTC Sync is installed on my home computer and at work. I'm trying to sync my phone with Outlook 2007. I'm not worried about my contacts so much as I would like to sync with my calendar in outlook, so any meetings I have on my computer at work, will show up on my phone.
I was able to use HTC Sync with the Inspire to load Contacts with no problem. I did not do the calendar, since I sync that with Goolge. Google contacts cannot deal with all the contact notes I have in Outlook.
Be sure to get the latest HTC Sync.

You have to run HTC sync as an administrator in Win7.

I can do that at home, but at work I have XP and it doesn't work there either.
After having the same problem with calender button being greyed out in HTC SYNC 3 i might have found another solution to fix this.
My HTC Sync 3 (and previous versions) used to sync everything i wanted but after a system restore to an earlier date 2 months ago it stopped syncing the calender items from outlook 2003. Yes i've only just noticed that it's not been syncing!!
1/ I tried going back to earlier versions of htc sync but that didn't work.
2/ I tried running HTC Sync as administrator but that didn't work.
3/ I installed a fresh copy of HTC Sync (all versions) with msconfig items modified and that didn't work.
4/ I removed all traces of HTC Sync and installed MyPhoneExplorer and that didn't work as well......that then led me to believe that the problem couldn't be with my HTC Sync.
5/ What fixed it for me was a detect and repair in MS office 2003 (through add and remove programs) and also i did a detect & repair in outlook 2003 itself as well. You might need the office install disc as it needed some cab files during the repair.
I then installed HTC Sync 3 ver 5511 again and the calender button is now back and selectable again....Hey presto.
I can only assume the windows restore featire to an earlier time might have thrown a spanner in the works.
If any of you is having trouble to let HTC Sync detect the phone, try to rename the "iTunes" folder in your "My Documents\Music" folder.
When I bought the phone, I installed the HTC Sync v3.0.5517 (which was on the SD card and newer than the online version) on my Windows 7 x64 SP1 e never could see it detected by the software. Every time I launched it, the notification icon showed that the phone was detected and after 2 seconds disappeared (htcUPCTLoader.exe also disappeared from task manager).
I tryed the software in a WinXP Virtual Machine and it worked fine, so I decided to contact the HTC Support in order to know if there was some incompatibility with Win7 x64 SP1: the told me that the problem was my PC
After a few search, I found a similar problem in another forum, and tried to rename the iTunes folder, and I finally got HTC Sync starting and synching like a charm. The problem is when the software tries to detect our iTunes playlist in order to show them in the Media synchronization.
I replied back to the HTC Support telling them this issue, hoping that they will fix it.
Thanks
Thanks for the Info,
I've same problem with XP-Media Center, Sync installed from SD-Card and then a connect and nothing. The HTC Sync is starting up and then "updating HTC...." for ever.
When leaving the room with Device connect it started up after a while (1hour probably - was not in the room) and then I could set up the sync but it never started.
Will give it a try in the evening.
Cheers
Mike
What are you guys syncing with HTC Sync?
I found that Google's own sync tools were best for calendars and contacts?
I originally uploaded all my Outlook calendar & contacts into my Google account in the cloud and now the phone syncs itself without the need for HTC Sync.
If you need to continue to still use Outlook you can do as Google Calendar Sync will continue to sync both ways.
works perfect!
Thanks a lot,
I've renamed the I-Tunes folder and HTC-Sync was running perfect.
Cheers
Mike

I'm using HTC Sync with Outlook for 2 reasons:
- I can sync my Outlook contacts with my 2nd phone
- I hate having unuseful mail contacts (eg: work mail, mailing-list senders) in my phone
