[Q] Google/Android Sync Problems - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I searched this forum but I couldn't find a solution to my simple problem: my hTC DesireHD GB2.3.5 CD9.2 won't sync with my google account on the web. Not the contacts, not the tasks and not the calendar. On my device I use stock Claendar and contacts (both using a google account) and Evernote. I tried resetting everything but it looks like I'm too retarded to make it work! Any, help, please? TIA for your time.

Sync between Android / WinMo

Hey
Is there any app out there wich could sync all PIM-Data like SMS,Contacts etc. to Android? I'd love an app that does this since I've got Android on my HD2?
If there isn't any software, I'll try to develop some on my own, but first I need to know a few things:
- how do get the messages (Mail and SMS) in WinMo (.net cf)
- and how to restore them??
- how to register an app to run before shutdown and as startup on android?
Thanks

Did you try to use MyPhoneExplorer for syncing Outlook contacts to your Android ?
Hi,
I've search alot around to do that, tryed ogg synch and other stuff,
but now I've found that this way to synch android and winmo is the best (for me):
don't use outlook anymore on my pc instead I've created a gmail accound and use calendar , contact... exactly like on outlook but online.
On htc winmo I've made an activesync account with google server (m.google.com) and synch everything exept tasks.
And on htc Andro synch with google account.
Everyhing works ...

Since I have no dataplan that's not a good idea for me. So I'm looking for an app doing this local on the phone...

How can you possibly hope to use Android fully without a data plan
Google Sync will do just this !
Yes, i just stumbled onto this:
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
I just set up my active sync with m.google.com (follow the instructions, old, but still work) on my Window mobile, did one sync for everything except my email.
That part of it OK, i reboot to Android (MCCM Desire HD), synch my stuff there (using this same gmail address) and yes, all my contacts show up, contacts with multiple numbers, pictures (girls!) included, wow, just wow...
Give it i try, i'll go see if it actually synchs the calendar, my messages from winmo do not show up though.
Edit: sorry, i guess aegidios2 beat me to it, well here are the instructions, if you have no data plan, surely you can sync using Wifi ?
Update: Yes, i tested, it also syncs the calendar back from Android to WinMo, then Outlook pops op on my computer, informing me about the appointment i put in the calendar, wow, i am hooked !

I can do that, yes, but I want to be able to switch between them at any time - even if I'm not at home and no free wlan net is in reach!

Since there were only f****** expensive offers when I bought my hd2....
So I'm currently trying to develope an app for that, but I'm stuck on creating sms on WinMo (I tried the InTheHandSDK, but on my HD2 (latest Artemis ROM with WM 6.5.3) it crashes and in the emulator it fails to store the body of the sms). Does anyone know how to do that??
So I think there's no app which can handle that...
Now I'm wondering if anybody else would like to have such an app?
And I have still the problems with reading/restoring sms (on winmo), anyone who could help me?
Did you try mIQ, search for it on google
Only downside is you can sync only one device
I use Google Calendar Sync and Contacts Sync.
Done completely offline via your home PC. Works flawlessly as long as you have Outlook on your home PC.

Hey guys,
my conclusion to this thread is, there's no (portable) alternitive way of syncing with your 3g-network, if there's no app.
And that's the point, imagine you're on the beach abroad with your phone in your palm but currently winmo is running. So you start android and after a few seconds (SuperRAM is awsome) - f**** the sms from your GF/BF is not there...
Noway to sync with the net if you aren't a millionaire (roaming is s....).
And that's why I need an app, so I started to develop. I alreadey managed to get ceampi succesfully working. My winmo client is nearly finished. Now I need some android gurus to help me.
So anyone interested outthere willing to help? I need to know how to read all mesages stored in the folders (inbox,drafts etc.) and how to create new messages which are stored there as well.
Thanks

[Q] Windows Live in Android

Hi guys,
Looking on switching from WinMo to Android... Is there a way to sync Windows Live Contacts and Calendar in Android?
I would agree this is a noob question... But I didn't find conclusive information searching the forum.
Please... It's important for me since my main mail is @hotmail and all my contacts and calendar events are stored there...
Thanks!

Yes. I did both at one time (I'm using google exclusively for sync now). I think you can set it up either in Accounts, or set up the Exchange email service, and then in accounts you can set up the sync.
Guarantee you can do it, though. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I have to tell it not to sync my live.com contacts and calendar.
Tnx!
I will look some other "details" and will probably flash Enery Desire HD this week.
Cheers.

[Q] Problems with HTC Sync - Contacts not updated any more (error)

Hi Guys,
I used my Desire S since some months, and syncing with Outlook was workins perfect for contacts and calendar.
but since some weeks, the syncing of contacts is not working any more.
Is there any way to re-initialize this sync again? On WM I always choose an option to sync it once in just one direction, e.g. PC-> phone to recover such an issue, but there is no option I found in HTC Sync to recover from this state?
Any ideas?
Thanks, GeScha
PS: I haven't found a thread covering this in Desire S section by search. So sorry for issuing a new thread if there is already one somewhere. Just let me know where it might be.

[Q] Outlook (Office365) Calendar?

Hi guys! First post on this forum, and I was wondering if you could help me out with a little problem here :fingers-crossed:
The place I work use Outlook calendar, and I would love to get that showing on my SW2. However I can't seem to find any apps that support anything else than the "standard" Google calendar. I've tried subscribing to the Outlook calendar with Google, but the refreshing of the .ics-feed is WAAAAY too slow (like 6-24 hours), and I need it to update rather fast. Anyone know a solution to this problem?

Thanks to the both of you!
However I landed on adding the Exchange account to the "Accounts" part of Android. After that, it was a breeze to sync calendars.:good:
