hy, anybody knows a free page, where i can sync my hermes calendar (tasks and appointments) and my contacts? i mean for example over wlan, without a computer between.
regards chief
I use Google Calendar, and Oggsync on the PDA to keep the two sync'd.
Also use SynQ for Outlook so just about every calendar I could access (work, home PC, web based, PDA) is sync'd automatically.
There is a free version of Oggsync... can't recall the limitations of the free version.
HTH.
cool, oggsync is a app i have searched for. but a need such a tool for ontacts too, can i sync them with google?

Not AFAIK.. I sync my contacts using SynQ / Outlook between work-based server. SynQ is free, BTW, if you have access to a server it can use.
I use mail2web.com to sync my contacts, agenda, tasks. I also use their push mail service but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Yahoo does all that perfectly.
Read up on programs called Intellisync and Yahoo Go!

I've tried everything, and there is no current way to sync WinMo's calendar with Yahoo's calendar (the new .ICS compatible beta).
I use Yahoo for my email, calendar, and notes and there is a shocking lack of integration with the WinMo ecosystem.
Is anyone up for the challenge to create an OTA sync tool between WinMo outlook calendar and yahoo's new calendar?
Contacts would be a great sync as well, but I'm just going to ask for one thing at a time!
Note: I've tried EVERYTHING available, and nothing works. Not Yahoo Sync w/Outlook, not Get Yahoo WinMo app, not Yahoo Go 2.0, etc....
Thanks!

I know my advice sucks...
But...
Try google calendar. You can even get free sync with active sync. I though, prefer nuevasync.com to sync my calendar.
It works amazing. I use it everyday.
I forgot to mention that, in an effort to sync my online with my mobile world, I made a huge attempt to move my web services to Google. Unfortunately, my experiment failed. I just could not get adjusted to Google Mail vs. Yahoo Mail. So, I went back to Yahoo after an earnest experiment.
Because of the great integration between Yahoo Mail & Calendar, I really can't move over to Google Calendar. I've even already asked Nuevasync to add Yahoo to their sync services!
Like I said... I've tried EVERYTHING, which is why I've requested new development. I'm thinking I cannot be the only "Yahoo with WinMo!"

Well... If yahoo cal supports and ics version to import to other calendars, you can add that to the calendar list on your google cal. And then use nuevasync to sync. But that would be one-way sync, so you couldn't make new appointments from your phone. But seriously. Try gmail, and gcal again. Then your problems would be over. They work amazing with activesync. And your only alternative is to wait until an new unstable beta service would arrive to yahoo, which might take som time.
Hi sblop,
I didn't want to overload my post, but when I said I tried EVERYTHING, I meant it! I tried adding Yahoo's ICS cal to Google cal, but the events come up as generic... no event details show up on Google Cal. So, that approach didn't work either.
While I'm at it, I also tried to add my Yahoo cal to my Live Calendar as well - no go.
You could therefore say that Yahoo's ICS is buggy. I don't know. I just know that I have been unsuccessful in linking it to other online calendars to-date.
Thanks,
Jon

Sorry.
Then I cant help you.
But good luck.
OK, I was wrong! I just checked my Google Cal with the Yahoo ICS connection, and some details are showing up. Others are "locked" and therefore show no details. This must be a setting Yahoo is automatically applying, so I need to manage that on the Yahoo side.
Presuming this connection continues to work, which is the best calendar sync for Google Cal? Nuevasync? Google ActiveSync?
Any info appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

If you use google activesync service, your only able to sync one calendar at a time, which is quite annoying if you make one for work, and one for private matters etc. - I use nuevasync, and just selects which calendars I want to sync, and then it works. So I suddest nueva.
Update.... and bad news! The ICS-linked Yahoo calendar on Google Calendar shows up fine on the Google Cal screen, but it does not seem to include it in the sync process! So, the "linking" is display-only, not imported so that the Google ActiveSync can sync those ICS events!
Grrr.....
Update on the update.... Nuevasync does allow me to sync my ICS-linked calendar in Google Calendar. So, it looks like I kinda/sorta have what I'm looking for. Not as good as direct Yahoo sync (no contacts, for instance), but it's better than nothing.
Thanks for the great band-aid!
Jon
should look into seven beta will let you sync contacts email and calendar not sure about notes but it could be possible

Any word on an app to do OTA synching with Yahoo Calendar to WinMo?
Hello, I am new to HTC mobile, I used to use Nokia N95 8G in last 2 years.
Just got a HTC touch HD within a week.
I just wonder
Is there any possible that I can synchronize Google Calendar with Blackstone?
I am appreciated with your help here.
Thx.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
iMrD
You have a lot of solutions to do that :
- Using Microsoft Office, you can sync it with Google Calendar with an official Google Sync app (available on Google website). Unfortunately, this app can only sync your main calendar.
- Using Thunderbird, there exists a nice (not free ) app which is BirdieSync. It allows you to sync every calendar in Thunderbird lightning or sunbird with your mobile phone. You just have to access with TB lightning or Sunbird your google calendars (with an extension, like Google Provider for Sunbird)
- If you do not want to use a desktop application, you can use the Google sync new feature which allows you to use Google Calendar as an Exchange server. Again, this way only syncs your main calendar.
- Last but not least, you can use nuevasync (nuevasync.com) service. This is like a bridge between Google Calendar and your mobile, using an exchange server. This is free (but for how long ?) because this is a beta application but I use it everyday without trouble. This make synchronization with Google Calendar very easy through a data connection.
I hope this will help you.
Here is the link to the google sync feature: http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/
You can sync directly using activesync:
Add Server Source
Enter email address
Untick "attempt to detect Exchange server"
NEXT
Server address is m.google.com
NEXT
user name is your mail address again.
NEXT
uncheck e-mail and tasks
FINISH

OggSync
I use Ogg sync Pro which does multiple calendars and contacts, works great for me
Have to pay though for the Pro version

Here - look for "sync" on the original link.

No download as such... you just need to add the correct setting via the activesync app on the phone itself... Detailed instructions can be found here... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=56959&highlight=google+sync

yup, either myphone, or Googlesync which you can use Activesync to sync against ur google mail.
Myphone can sync with Outlook?
Bump! Help.
Gmail can be used as a free exchange server, but for now, only to activesync Contacts and Calendars. Email is sync'd normally anyway - but the mail is not emulated as a proper "exchange" server, just IMAP (IIRC). That's still a good start though. I imagine email will follow soon though, now that they're permitting enterprises to sync email through exchange.
Haven't tried MyPhone yet though. Is that full exchange/activesync?

Hi all - got my HD2 three days ago and still tweaking bits and bobs as I see fit!
One of the things I haven't been able to work out is whether I can sync the calendar with my personally hosted .ICS calendar files? I host them on a personal FTP for shared use in Lightning/Thunderbird.
Is there any way at all of syncing them with my HD2? Whether it's a bit hacky and goes via Google Calendars or something else I don't really mind, as long as it works remotely.
Thanks in advance .
Argh, dropped off the first page already! Anyone?
i guess the google calendar is way to go. but it would be great if a XDA expert could post an a possible solution
I would like to see either HTC offer something to sync up to Yahoo calendar, or at least a third party app to sync up to Yahoo calendar myself!
Yahoo has now done away with the Yahoo GO! app, oddly enough only months after creating a "new" iphone App. Why does Yahoo always give Windows Mobile the finger?

Hi. I don't have a HD2, but in this period I am evaluating the purchase of a new WM smartphone, and I am searching info about my main requirements. One of them is just the sync with Outlook or (better) with Lighting/Thunderbird. Until now, I found that the best solution seems BirdieSync, http://www.birdiesync.com/features. Unfortunately it is not freeware, but it appears the most suitable for the task. I saw on the site that there is a full-functional demo, maybe you can try it.
Hope this helps.

"Can I sync with Live or Google Calendar?
Last Updated: March 02, 2010
Yes!
When you share your calendar with any user, that user will receive an email that will guide them through subscribing to your calendar.
Toward the bottom of that email, there will be a URL that looks like this:
ht[tp://calendar.yahoo.com/yahoo-id/XXXXXX/CalendarName.ics?id=001.
Anyone using a calendar that supports the iCalendar or .ics formats can use this URL to sync to your Yahoo! Calendar."

Just got my phone! Looked through the user guide and didn't see anything that tells me how to bring my outlook contact and calendar to the phone.
I do not want anything to go to the cloud, and I don't use exchange. I just want a simple window XP outlook to Samsung Galaxy S sync.
I came across a program called the Missing Sync but it cost $50 adding 10% to the phone cost!!! Something so basic should come working out of the box to be honest without further cost.
Is there any free program that you guys have tried and found working?
Install the Samsung Kies application, should do the trick.
On my side I have an exzchange server and I wanted also to sync the calendar
And it didn't work with the native exhcange sync with the calendar app
So I used the google calendar sync software to sync the outlook calendar with the google calendar
Then you can use the native sync between the phone and google calendar which works fine
Having exchange or not shoud not change anything
Isn't google calendar usage means surrendering my private data to the cloud?
What about contact information?

How does this works? How do I first sync outlook to Kiev?
Not sure what you mean by the cloud but I guess the answer is yes
I must confess that strangely the contacts are well sync with the exchange server so I did'nt check other solutions ...
I thought the meaning of cloud is clear, but if the answer is yes then I'm not prepared to let Google have my personal information.

Have already tried the following:
1) Android-Sync - does not work.
2) CompanionLink USB - does not work
3) Sync2 - does not work
This is very frustrating. I still can't bring in my contact and calendar from my iPhone to Android.
Anybody knows how that can be done? (No Cloud please). I cannot believe that after 3 years, Android is still so raw with missing basic functionalities like this without having to pay USD$50 for missing sync (assuming that it even works)
I've sync'd my outlook contacts\calendar through the Kies software. You should be able to connect your phone to Kies then click on the phone icon to show the options for sync of calendar and contacts.
Have to admit it's pretty rubbish functionality compared to the HTC sync app and activesync. Can't get it to auto sync when the phone is connected it's a manual job every time.

I'm not using exchange. Just outlook on the PC.
Looks like Android fails miserably in this area. Noway I will let Google force me to surrender my private information to them in the cloud.
Looking more and more like the only way is to manually rekey all the entries? Or perhaps I would go back to iPhone 4 after all.

Exchange support
Improved security with the addition of numeric pin or alpha-numeric password options to unlock device. Exchange administrators can enforce password policy across devices.
Remote wipe: Exchange administrators can remotely reset the device to factory defaults to secure data in case device is lost or stolen.
Exchange Calendars are now supported in the Calendar application.
Auto-discovery: you just need to know your user-name and password to easily set up and sync an Exchange account (available for Exchange 2007 and higher).
Global Address Lists look-up is now available in the Email application, enabling users to auto-complete recipient names from the directory.

You have been told in like 4 posts here that you can use Kies to get your Outlook contacts and calendar. Kies is the official Samsung software for using the phone to connect to the computer.
So what is the problem?
It is not a geat piece of software, but it will do the trick for you.
Have you tried this? -> http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/
After long researching, only free method to sync contacts and calendar (and I do this) is to get gmail account. Export contacts and calendar in csv form ro PC and import it in gmail account. Till I find another free solution how to sync it, I'm using this method each day I leave my office.It takes not more than one minute. I know it is not confortable (been used to WM syncing), but it is only free way so far...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've finally got it done with Samsung Kies. Wasn't smooth sailing at all. Had to remove the contact group before I managed to bring every contact over. I still can't bring the calendar ovef yet. During sync, the progress bar isn't moving. I had similar problem with contact but later it mysteriously completed successfully without me doing anything different.
Manage to bring the music and videos overs with only some if the album artwork. Playlist did not sync over for some strange reasons.
