Wanted to share a recent discovery for syncing Andriod and Outlook (I am using 2007). Up until now I have been very disappointed in the various sync options for someone like me who is on a corporate network using Outlook and who has an IT group that does NOT allow syncing via cloud for any software that uses MSExchange server Active Sync, like RoadSync and TouchDown.
I have been using HTCSync which is not too, too bad, the big issue is that it messes up my phone #s like my (919) 123-4567 989 (this is the extension) after syncing with HTC was changed be to (919)123-4567989. I also had issues with syncing some Outlook appointments, especially recurring and also issues when a co-worker deleted an recurring appointment, it would not always allow me to delete this from my calendar. Bottom line...lots of weird stuff using HTCSync, but until now the only real USB sync option.
Add to this, I do prefer a USB sync option, yep USB and MOSTLY doing so w/o having to load a special software on my Andriod phone like Markspace or The Missing Sync or Companion Link require. I only want to use the integrated Andriod calendar and contacts programs NOT something special.
With all of the background, I strongly encourage anyone with similar needs, especially a USB sync option, please check out Andriod-Sync at this link

Amazingly, the cost is $0.00.

Hope this is helpful for the XDA corporate guys that use Outlook, came from WM6.5 to Andriod 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and have been looking for a good USB and non IT controlled sync option.

It is syncing....will keep you posted when done
Thank you!!!!!!!! This should be a sticky!!!
Awesome app, thanks for the link
Thanks
I too have been struggling for MONTHS trying to find solutions to the Outlook/Android sync or the Thunderbird/Lightning and Android sync issues.
My biggest struggle is actually the task manager. I use Outlook Tasks, interconnected with events, contacts and emails extensively to track major projects, etc. I still can't find a reasonable and truly functional option.
If anyone out there finds something...let us know!!!

I'll try that app.
I have a AT&T Fuze (Winmobile 6.5/Energy) that I use with MS Mobile Device Center as a bridge between Outlook on my MS Exchange Server at Work and Outlook 2007 on my Windows 7 laptop & desktop at home. The system works like a top. Lately the display seems a little small however. I've been looking at an HTC Thunderbolt (Android) with the HTC sync application and several after market sync applications. Windows Phone 7 is off the table because of a decision by Microsoft not to sync with it's own product, Outlook. Is there an Android app that is a clone or better of Windows Mobile Device Center? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
As for a clone to windows device thinga ma bob?
Check out
My Phone Explorer for Android. Google it.
I have not tried to sync using this other than for pictures.
Re Android vs. WIN7?
I switched from a Pure Energy ROM to my At&T Aria, and now a HTC Desire Z with Android GB 2.3.3, never thought I would like Android like I do, bit man oh man, way nicer than WinMo.
Thanks for your help!
MyPhoneExplorer Android is working fine with my SGS2. I used it yesterday to sync my iPhone data to my new Galaxy 2.

it's no longer free. the trial version allows 20 contacts to sync. if you want the full version it is $20.
Hi -- I am looking for a one-way sync, Outlook 2010 x86 to Android. Do Android-Sync and MyPhoneExplorer support this?
I'm trying "local sync" from http://www.psencik.cz/local-sync.
Another option for me.
Omg! Thank you!
I got depressed thinking I was going to need to return my new Samsung Epic. If this works I think that everyone on the google platform that uses direct sync should crown you king of awesome!

Denied, I get some ADB error and following the instructions they provide did nada, shame the site is even less helpful than the app itse;f as far as resolving. Maybe my Epic has some sort of hate towards me using outlook...sigh...I need my outlook sync, all I want is calendar and contacts. that's it, I got email already...
Hi,
as you probably know facebook had problem with synchronizing contacts with android on ICS. Recently I installed facebook app on my galaxy note that has ICS. Contacts synchronization worked like a charm. But I still can't sync on Asus Transformer. Synchronization completed without any errors, but it has no effects in People app. Do you have the same problem?

Curious if anyone is using this on their Note yet. If so, are you syncing and can you create new inked notes that sync to your skydrive and show up in your PC version of Onenote.
i use the wifi version on my galaxy note 5.3"
Had issues with inking int he past, but the past few updates have really sorted it out..
The option for inking are limted but work well now...
Edited notes sycn with skydrive and do show up in my pc as well...
I'm trying to use the Samsung account cloud sync on my note 10.1 to sync my S-Notes with my new Note II. It appears that this should sync S-Notes, and some contacts/calendar data. Curious to see if it even syncs pen marks from one instance of S-Planner to another. Mostly interested in S-Note sync. I know I can do it with dropbox/dropsync but wanted to try using the built-in method first.
On my Note II I have no problem with sync. On my Galaxy Note 10.1 though I always get an error saying that sync was not available and try back later. Using both devices on the same network, so it's not a network issue. I've also removed and added the account back and still get the sync error on my Note 10.1. Has anyone else used the Samsung cloud sync. (1) Will it sync S-Notes between devices and (2) Any troubleshooting recommendations on the Note 10.1? I have the 8013 variety, connected to Wifi and using Android Revolution HD 4.4 and have used Triangle Away and "picky" apps like AllShare Cast work fine.
I just used the beta of this and it seems like a one way sync from Samsung Notes to One Note. What I would hopefully like is a two way sync. Is that possible?
I have only been able to get the Samsung Notes showing up on the outlook feed online. Do ou see your Samsung Notes on the onenote Android app?
