Well my G1 is coming in today. And my 8525 phone can never sync to my PC, so I cant make a contact or calendar file to upload to google for my new phone. But I found a site that act like a exchange sync and it is a free service. You sign up for a account tell it I want to link to this google account, google has you accept the connection (it never asked for a google password, I found that odd). Once you do that you config you active sync to the nuevasync servers, and sync data. It works great.
check it out it is in beta phase, but worked like a charm and easy to set up.

Nice, but...
How do you sync it with the G1???
you would just connect your G1 to the same gmail account like normal. nuevasync sync the info into your gmail account. And once you setup your G1 with the same account you just sync you WM phot it will be there.
Windows mobile --> nuevasync --> google/gmail --> G1

It seems that finally Google has released a sync for google calendar and contacts for WM (and iPhone) today.
Now to get it working...
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
Waiting for email and tasks sync too.... Then I will use it for sure...
yea nice... im waiting for this... used http://www.scheduleworld.com all the time
Well I can't get it to work. First screen asks for my email address, then when I enter my log in on the third it blanks out the domain then it just won't sync at the end.
I got it up and running from the phone... First couple attempts failed, but I was choosing the Mail and tasks options, only selecting the Contacts and Cal entries (as per the instructions ) meant it worked normally.
Shorted (sic)
No idea what the issue with mine was, but I reset and tried afresh and it's now going great guns.
Only one calendar?
It only appears to sync the one calendar...
mine doesn't work, i get an error "Your account in Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your admin"
Support Code: 85010004
anybody knows what this means?
I've not got it too work either yet, I wonder if it's being staged in a few accounts at a time?
{EDIT}
:doh, forgot I hadn't set a google calendar up on that g account.
As soon as I did and tried again it synched, maybe a coincidence but it's working now..
You have to choose Contacts and Calendar only... NOT Mail and Tasks
i have selected only Contacts & Calendar and i do have an active calendar account on google but still no luck
... i managed to sync my contacts by unticking the calendar option. i guess that would have to do for now
hmk ...
the google description says, i have to enter my whole emails adress and google as domain.
fun part is, i cant enter the domain anymore, as soon i add an "@" sign :/
I tried it and it does work, but it has some limitations.
@grayme
about which calendar it syncs, Google help says it syncs only main calendar, not the others.
this is not enough for some, i want to sync more than one calendar, and the only valid solution for now is the OggSync Pro, which can sync many calendars, and you even select which method to do for each (2 way, incoming only or outgoing only).
@achmed20
google documentation is for an older version maybe, not WM6.1, the first windows you put your gmail address and password, then in later steps it will ask for server.
I wish Google would extend this service for push emails with their Gmail service!
I have to admit i was always reluctant to use much of Google's services apart from searching because they have a very dominant position in the market. But they seem to be implementing the right things for their customers at no extra cost! Who could say no to that?

but the description says leave domain empty
anyway, I got it finally working once I unchecked calendar. But what I do not understand is why it always try to use the data connection even if I am connected to wifi
Looks nice,
I'm using Nuevasync, does this job the same way. i've got 6 agenda's on my account, and there all in sync..
Well there was an announcement recently that Google have licensed activesync so we may see more to come in this area

So you have tried to sync contacts? does it sync all contact detail? especially the birth date?
i configured my X1 to sync only calendar with Google Sync, for contacts i use Zyb and Funambol (still to decide which is better), i didn't use DashWire becuase it didn't have the birth date field synched...
It does not sync the birthday field. Sync-ed fields are:
- Name, title, company
- Email
- Phone
- Address
- IM
- More information (Notes field for example)
I spent way too much time trying to get this working last night, so I'm here to ask if anyone knows how I can get my gmail account setup through ActiveSync, rather than the normal gmail app.
My reasoning for this is because I want to have my mail viewable through the Mail widget - but it will only let me choose an ActiveSync account
To setup the ActiveSync account on my HTC Touch Pro I just followed Google's guide here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
I used the same details to setup an ActiveSync account on my Hero, and it seems to successfully connect and tell me it's synced - but none of my emails are appearing?
Any ideas anyone? Or is there perhaps a way to select my gmail account in the HTC Mail widget?
You won't get email through ActiveSync with gmail - it's for Contacts and Calendar only.
You could use IMAP or POP3 access to your gmail account, via the HTC mail app...
First, make sure you have IMAP access enabled to your gmail account: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
Then, make sure you use the "manual setup" option in the HTC Mail app, and use the info provided on this page to proceed: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=114408
-Make yourself a gmail account
-add account to Android and set sync settings
-install Google Sync on your PC, set sync settings
-sync between Outlook and Android, and always have an online access as well.
Seems a lot if people forget this is a Google OS, and it loves Google applications!

Or as I already wrote like four times here, you could just download Android Sync and avoid having to sync your contacts with another service.

sorry.. been reading through the threads, and see so many asking/complaining about how to sync with Outlook, still going to use WinMo for calendar, etc...
I like the looks of Android Sync.. very promising! but for use right now, Google sync is my way to go- OTA, and manual and automatic.
was already looking for a solution and now I have 2, thx you guys
I use an exchange server and it syncs just fine; is this for those that don't or is my server special somehow?

I don't know much about exchange servers- if its working, cool!
you need a gmail account for google payments and the Android market- loved how I logged in and all my apps from the MT3G I had last year were sitting there waiting for me to reinstall!
Google Sync works great for calendar- had to upload my Outlook contacts as a *.csv file and then they were all in Android. when this Android Sync is finished, I'll be using it!!
so happy to have Android again.. feels like home..
Going from my HTC Diamond and would like to transfer my contacts to an EPIC. Thanks!
sync your contacts to gmail.

That is what I had to do with my FUZE. I sync my phone with hotmail then imported the contacts to gmail. Then on the home screen when to settings and then accounts and sync and found the gmail account. Then hit sync contacts. That's it. I come from over 6yrs of being a winmo and HTC phone fanboy and so far android has been great.

The easiest way is to sync your Diamong with Gmail. Here is how. If you do not have a Gmail account already, create one, then:
1) Launch activesync
2) Add a server source. The server address is m.google.com, your username is the whole GMAIL address, including the @gmail.com and your password is your password (duh). Select the "USE SSL" option, and at the end when it asks you what to sync, deselect everything except for contacts.
If you already deactivated your Diamond and your Epic is active now, you can still do this, just jump on WiFi with the Diamong.
You can also get your Calendar out this way. Just make sure you Gmail account calendar is active if not already (select the Calendar link at the top of page in Gmail, and follow the prompts to get the calendar set up). Then when setting up Activesync on the Diamond, at the point where you deselected everything but Contacts, leave Calendar active as well.
Another option if you dont wan to do the OTA method, is to sync your Diamong with the USB cable via Activesync on your PC with outlook, then export your contacts as a CSV file, then import it into Gmail, finally logging into that Gmail account on your Epic.
The last and perhaps easiest method, is take it to take both phones to a local Service and Repair center. They will happily switch your contacts free of charge for you. And if it is an Authorised S&R center (meaning not Sprint corp owned) Sprint actually pays them for doing the service for you, which is quick, easy, and painless.
to trully transfer them easily use migrate from the market...keeps your info and contact picture from winmo...(did it from my old TP2).
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and I just used Bluetooth to transfer all of the contacts. I believe the same should work on the Diamond.
Hello.
After my upgrade ran(otherwise perfectly) I have a weird issue with my Sony Ericsson online sync(for contacts, no SEUS). There is an account name and password prefilled which seems to be able to sync. HPKADKOR. If i change it to my correct credentials the sync fails due to network error.
Has anyone seens this? Is this a fake id that's stealing my contact info?
Okay... I've been playing with this some more. I removed the hpkadkor account, added mine on the phone. Sync'd and it couldn't complete. THen I opened up PCCompanion and selected the sync util... I re-added my phone and sync'd a few times from my phone and it worked. It replaced the account info on the phone back to hpkadkor but it's now working. I deleted some bookmarks on the website, added a calendar entry and about 15 mins later after a few manual sync's the phone picked up the change.... weird!!!
I don't understand what you do with sony sync, account credential and other stuff. It seems very simple for me to login and use sony sync
But i can explain about the sync delay, Sony Sync is using SyncML, which run in client side only. Then the app checks to server to see if there is any changes periodically.
Gmail sync is different, the sync info is piggybacked on GTalk protocol, so if there's any changes, they send to GTalk on your phone to trigger the sync.
