[Q] Help on Dell streak Android 2.2 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I just got a new dell streak with android 2.2, am really struggling to sync my mails from my webmail server, we use exchange at the corporate and we are only allowed to symc emails through our exchange server, am not able synchronize contacts, calendar and mails available on webmail.
Am using the Dell Mobile Sync software provided by Nero and i cannot make that work.
Also i am not sure whether android 2.2 in Dell streak supports downloading of mails from our corporate webmail server.
I hope i have not done a mistake by getting this phone, please help me.

Exchange mail in HTML

i read through various parts in this forum that it usually the problem of the server that it it isnt sending things in HTML format to outlook mobile, i wasnt able to recieve Exchange mail in HTML on my touch pro, so i programmed the same exchange account on my wifes Iphone and to my amazment all the emails that came in were perfectly normal in HTML format,
so is there anyway to fix this issue and make the Touch pro capable of showing HTML mail comming from Exchange.
Best regards for the pros in this wonderfull forum
Kevin
i hope that anybody else is having the same problem as i really tried everything but nothing is working real weird, even though i tried to configure the exchange server sync to HTML but its not working either, as soon as it connect it gets back to plain text.
i really hope there is a solution for this with one of you great guys.
Best regards
kevin
Is the Exchange server running Exchange 2007 or 2003?
That's not a bug it's a "feature".
You either have to have an Exchange 2007 Server to display HTML mail or if you have an Exchange 2003 server you have to use POP3 to display HTML mail.
its a 2003 i think
but why is the iphone capable of showing the HTML email from the same exchange server.
that was basically my main question. if it is just some server feature, how can the iphone show the same messages in full HTML without a single problem
I think it is because Pocket Outlook leaves some HTML rendering up to the Exchange Server rather than do everything on the PPC. But that does not work on the Exchange 2003 Server only on Exchange 2007.
But if you communicate with your Exchange Server not via ActiveSync but via POP3 or IMAP HTML works. Because in this case Pocket Outlook is forced to do all the rendering by it self.
ok, now i understand the case, thanks boss,
i think this is the only superiority aspect for the iphone, ivebeen using it for a couple of days now atter jailbraking it, and im nto impressed, im actually much less than impressed, i miss my Rpahel. so much,
its really such a shame i cant h ave Pushmail and HTMl together, but well its a small sacrifice for a great device.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!

Android for Business?

Hi all,
I did a Google, but could only see a few results for Android as a business phone.
We're due for an upgrade very soon and I'm just wondering if Android will be any good for business use, or is it's going to cause issues with how we work?
Current use of Windows mobile:
Active Sync (no Exchange) with Outlook Calendar, Contacts and tasks, I don;t sync email because I often want my pc outlook open and running when not in the office, but still want to receive and send email via same account.
Email via Pop3 (same as work PC, Emails kept on phone for 3 days)
Ideally I would like android to do all the same with native apps, rather than having to purchase one to get the same functionality as WM 6.5.
Can anyone who has experience going from WM to Android when using a similar setup post comments on how it went and if it works OK?
Many thanks

Android phones with google automatically syncs with your calendar and contacts via gmail account to my knowledge. I mean...I've went through 3 phones and all of them automatically got my contacts from my gmail account.
If you wanted to best sync for your desktop outlook to your mobile device then Windows mobile is the best that you can get. Since my knowledge Android doesnt sync with Outlook Task and Notes

[Q] Windows mobile and blackberry contact sync

Hello,
i hope this is the right place to ask this question. I got a blackberry from my company and i have a HTC Touch Pro 2. The problem that i have is that all my contacts are stored in the Touch Pro (and sync'ed with MyPhone service) and i would like to have a way to syncronize them with the blackberry (i guess it has the enterprise something). Any advice?
Thank you
Lello
What is your company email platform?
Are you allowed to install Blackberry Desktop Manager/Active Sync?
Personally I have done it this way:
Contacts on HD Mini sync'd to online Exchange account and via OggSync to Google. Was also sync'd via AS to Outlook on PC but not at present.
Google sync installed on BB and linked to same Google account. Also tried Companion Link on works laptop to link with Google but the OTA system was easier to manage.
I didn't try yet to install Desktop Manager on the BB. I tried to install Google sync on it and it doesn't work. Got a 9700 bold.
Maybe the easiest solution is to use DM/AS on a pc and sync both BB and TP2 there?
Quite probably the easiest.
I didn't do it that way as my corporate email/BB is Lotus Notes and my HD mini is actually connected to mail2web Exchange.

[Q] Get contacts/txts/etc onto HD7 from the MyPhone service?

Microsoft wouldn't have forgotten this? Right...? :-(
I've traded up from my HD2 to an HD7. One of the features I loved on the old phone was sync'ing all my stuff up to the myphone.microsoft.com service. So I can keep old content, will always have my contacts and so forth.
But as much as I look around the HD7, I can't find any way to sync it to get my stuff on the new phone. I can't download the myphone software as WP7 doesn't recognise Cab files and the new windowsphone.live.com doesn't have any back up features just overview of the services on your phone like Xbo and Facebook account.
Seriously, Microsoft wouldn't have gotten their long standing WinMo customers reliant on their amazing back-up service and then just cast us out into the unbacked up snow would they?
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Your contacts will sync from your Windows Live Account (Ie your Hotmail Contacts).
I assume you can export from MyPhone to Hotmail?
I did think of that but it doesn't seem to be working. The account overview screen says Windows Live covers hotmail, xbox, photos and contacts but there's no option to tick contacts in the setup screen just email.
I also use an Exchange server but there's no contacts on there as my HD2 would only let you sync contacts from one or the other and I chose myphone.
Anythign else I can try - even if it's a way to export contacts and text messages from the HD2 and manually drop them into the HD7?

Here's what I did.
1. Backed up all my contacts with DotFred's PIM Backup just in case.
2. Disconnected syncing with MyPhone.
3. New local sync connection with Outlook.
4. Synced Outlook with Windows Live using the Windows Live Connector for Outlook.
5. Synced contacts on my WP7 from Live.
Sure, it's reaching around your elbow to scratch your ass but it only took me about 5 minutes tops.
I don't have WP7 yet, but on the MyPhone website, you can set certain data to restore to the phone on the next sync.
MyPhone is a Windows Mobile 6.5 service, it has nothing to do with WP7.
WP7 puts everything in the cloud so you don't need to back up the phone.
Use the Outlook connector for hotmail to sync from Outlook to Hotmail, then connect your WP7 phone to hotmail and all will be well. Emails, contacts and calendar will sync up to your phone.
I was hoping Myphone communicated with windowsphone.live.com, but that wasn't the case. I had to pirate Outlook 2007, since Outlook 2010 was unable to sync via WMDC on W7 64 bit.
I then exported my contacts to a .csv from Outlook 2007 and imported to my new live-account that I was going to use with my WP7 device.
My phone would then sync the contacts when logged in to my live-account.
someone else posted this before so they get the credit:
www.soocial.com
Create an acct with any email address. Follow the instructions to download the cab to your phone and install. Sync your contacts to soocial. Cancel that sync relationship and sync to your windows live acct.
You can sync 250 contacts this way without paying for it.

I was able to sync my Tilt2 with Outlook 2010 via WMDC and I'm using Windows 7 as well.
The issue is with 64 bit.
Windows 7 64 bit + Office 2010 64 bit or W7 64 bit + Office 2010 32 bit. I'm not sure if 32 bit Outlook would work, but I decided to go for Outlook 2007 to be sure.

Yea, I meant to notate that I'm using Windows 7 x64 as well.
I'm using win7 32 bit, so sholdnt be an issue.
Obviously I can manually put in my contacts, but I'd still be missing text messages so it's not quite ideal.
Am I just being a whinger who's hoping for a magic pixie? it's okay to say if I am!

You don't need to use myphone or outlook. All you need is your winmo 6.5 device and windows live.

Those are the instructions I used. My tilt2 sent everything up into the cloud to my live account, which then automagically dropped right back down onto my Focus. This copied over my contacts (including their pictures) and my calendar.
No software required. Didn't even have a sim in the tilt2. Sent it up to the cloud over wifi. Gotta love it.
Microsoft has another device portal that it will use for WP7. It will be similar to MyPhone. MyPhone isn't supported on WP7.

And that device portal will be available when or where? It's really a pain that you can't backup your text messages. I want to throw out my HD7 (this device just sucks big time with so many device specific problems) and exchange it for an Omnia 7, but I really want to backup my texts before so I can restore them... I haven't found any way yet to do so my e-mail and contacts are synced with Exchange and I can backup the music and pictures with Zune... but my texts...

[Q] windows 7 and omnia 7

Hi peeps,
Never even seen a Samsung omnia 7, but tonight I was asked how you would sync MS Outlook contacts and calender from windows 7 pc to the Samsung omnia 7
I couldn't answer at the time because my last windows phone was a HTC HD2 running 6.5 and syncing that with XP seemed to be a bit backward compared with my old HTC Blueangel and ActiveSync.
Can you please point me / her in the correct direction. She has a pop email account, not hotmail and apparently is finding it a little difficult to find instructions for anything other than an MS Exchange setup.
I did a search and saw a few references to wireless sync, what's the way forward please?
If this MS outlook hotmail connector "Work around" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqJL9X0oqIk is the only work around then MS are truly nuts, what an own-goal. iPhone & Android have better sync capabilities with MS Outlook
you have to setup the phone to synchronize with Windows Live Website and then add in outlook (2007>2010) the hotmail account as mail account.
It will download the "hotmail connector" to download all data from windows live.
you can also use windows live mail 2011 instead of outlook (free and easy to use)
MSFT have stated pretty clearly that the future is in the cloud. Actually Windows Live mail is an excellent implemenation of cloud & local e-mail integration.. If you want to use google mail or something else, then fine, (and WP7 is fine with that too) .. but I don't know why MSFT have to support possible e-mail configurations - for free. If you don't want to play it their way try nuevasync, pipe everything via their service & connect as an exchange server.
