Hi All,
I just got my HTC Magic today (32B), and managed to debrand and install Cyanagen on there sucesfully. I can setup the exchange sync, and all my emails synch properly,however contacts don't seem to have synched properly. It synchs the names of the contacts fine, but everything else is just added to the "notes" section of a contact, it doesn't copy emails + telephone numbers over at all?
This is connecting to exchange 2007, and works fine on both iPhone and an XDA Orbit that I have? (this is my 1st android phone)
Any ideas?
Thanks
You need to use a rom that has the new "HTC Mail" application and not the "HTC work for email"
Look at this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555499
Thank you very much, i'll go and flash that one now

Ok i did a search could not find what i was looking for.....i just got a 6525 as my old 6700 was getting old....now with my 6700 i used wireless sync and it work good...i could get all my emails, Contacts, and my outlook calendar just fine. and i dont have a exchange server...just my home desktop....not with Cingular's Xpress mail i just get my email......any help would be great...
Hi gnafin. On my Cingular 8525, installing XpressMail gave me two icons in Start->Programs ... Xpress Mail Settings and Xpress Mail Calendar. The installation also added Xpress Mail Calendar as a plugin on my Today screen. In my configuration, the Xpress Mail Calendar syncs to my Outlook Calendar when I attach via ActiveSync at my work computer.
Using Contacts->Menu->Xpress Mail Contacts, you can retrieve selected entries from your Corporate Address Book and add them to your Outlook Contacts.
As this is my first PDA, I have no other experience to compare this with, but the setup works OK for me.
Hope this helps.

Sorry gnafin, but I really don't know. As I have stated, this 8525 is my first PDA experience, so I don't even know what you're referring to by the term "wireless sync".
I simply use Xpress Mail to push my email and calendar from my work account. XM does a fairly good job with this, when my Corporate Server is working at the same time as XpressMail's I already have most of the corporate contacts I need in my Outlook Address Book, but whenever I need another one, it is easy to get using the XM Contacts thing I mentioned in my previous message. All of these happen wirelessly, except for synchronizing the two calendars, which seems to require an AS connection while I'm at my work PC.
Sorry I couldn't be more help than this. I hope somebody else here (who's got a lot more experience than I) can be of assistance.
Best regards, and good luck,

Hi,
Contemplating on buying the Hero. I have been using PIM backup for years. Can I migrate it all accross? What is the syncing like with Outlook please?
Cheers,
Will
There is no version of PIM Backup for Android at present (can't see it in the future either).
Though you could use a trial version of 4smartphone.com or a free exchange host to sync your email and contacts and the download them to the hero. This is what I did.
The only thing missing was the text messages - but that was fine for me.
I have gone from a Diamond (Ignito) to a Hero and i love it...
What i did was sync my contact in outlook and then export them to e CVS file and uploaded it to my GMail account.
Sync with GMail and now i have all my contacts on my phone, its great
im uesing roadsync to sync with microsoft exchange ... its works quite well ish apart from the contacts i ended up with two of everything
but calender and email are fine and its free
cant go wrong
Also went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero. All my contacts and calendar were linked with my Gmail account, so transferring it across was a doddle. Only issue at the moment is having a different phone number for 3 days while the PAC code is actioned.
i went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero aswell and all i did was sync my contacts to outlook and then had to sync them back with htc sync to the hero and all was good.
Went from Diamond to Hero, I use HTC Sync for calendar and contacts sync with Outlook 2007, works fine.
I went from a Diamond to Hero too.
Firstly, I can now understand what i have been missing out on by not having a capacitive touch screen!
Also, I synced my outlook contacts with google contacts first. Using some freeware called: GO Contact Sync.
Its a good simple app. From there its easy, the hero will autosync with google contacts and voila!
All you have to do is run the program every so often to keep it all up to date.
I also made the switch but from Diamond2 and after YEARS on Windows Mobile devices... very easy to use. 2007 exchange server working perfectly with Contacts, calendar and mail. It's fantastic. OK there's a few issues with the smoothness of the UI at times but hey I remember the first releases of TFL3D and that was far worse than this... and look how smooth it is now. So. I'm sure this will be improved by HTC very soon.
Please, did anybody else encounter this?:
I sync with Exchange via GPRS (it is Kerio MailServer). Everything works fine except contacts - most of them appear twice on my mobile...on desktop Outlook they appear only once as they should...I used to synchronize my previous HTCs (Kaiser, TyTn, TouchPro) without this problem - it appeared just now, once I moved to TouchPro2 (Rhodium) ... the problem appeared also on WM 6.1. I tried to delete my mobile device from server, deleted and recreated an account on TP2 ... no success and I am out of ideas - any hint, please?
I have got almost the same problem. When I sync my phone with Outlook 2007 everything goes well. When I flash a new ROM on my phone and sync again, all my contacts and appointments are duplicated, as well in Outlook as in my phone. I use Duplicates Remover from MapiLab to remove the duplicates. After that Outlook and my phone sync and everything is okay.
Hi
I was just wondering if it possible to sync my contacts from my home PC using Outlook and my calandar and mail from my works Outlook exchange server on the HD2.
I am a current iPhone user and am interested in moving over to the HD2 as it looks like an awsome phone. I can do the above on the iPhone but can't find any information as to wheather this is possible on the HD2. Searched the forums but can't find an answer!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
I don't see why this wouldn't be possible.
You can select to only link (via Exchange) your calendar and mail, I've done this. Then you just need to configure Activesync or Mobile Device Center to sync your contacts with Outlook.
Yes you can, a friend of mine has it set up that way. As Nighthawk said, it's just a case of configuring the sync right (you just have to tick boxes, so nothing challenging there!)
Dont know whether it helps, but I use an excellant app called Chronobis which allows me to pull (one way) my calendar from my work exchange server. It will also handle email & contacts.
I'm using this as I dont want to mix my home outlook contacts & calendar which I sync with Active Sync with my work stuff.
So I sync normally with Activesync and then download my work calendar which merges with my HD2 calendar... when I do an activesync... both work and home calendars are then together in Outlook.
I think in your situation you will be fine as you are not trying to "merge" contacts and calendars from 2 places at the same time.
Brilliant, thanks for your replies guys.
Yes this can be done, i do this with two exchange servers, one from my work and the other my gmail account.
Basically i sync my calendar and contacts with both and only sync my email from work.
I did this on my polaris and now on my hd2. Initially i wasn't too sure if the the hd2 would do this natively so i went with the regitry hack i used on my polaris. Perhaps someone could confirm that this can be done on the hd2 without the registry hack.
Here is the link to what i did with my polaris (and now my hd2).

As mentioned earlier, I am unable to run HTC Sync in Windows 2003.. Is there an easier way to import my contacts from my old HTC Touch (WM 6.1) to HTC Wildfire (Android 2.1).. any software, format, process recommended to do it easily? I also have contacts in MS Outlook on PC.. can that help?!
Do you have a Gmail/googlemail account?
Set up an exchange account in activesync on the Touch using your gmail account. This will transfer your contacts to Google, then you can set up the same account on the Wildfire and sync them back. Works for your calendar too
That is how I got mine from my Touch Pro 2
You can aslo direct import from your touch using bluetooth, Instruction in the manual. (That's how I did it when I first use Wildfire). I also used the the method described by <Stunno> above since I have an exchange account.
Thanks a lot.. will try and get back!
The google thing works for me, as soon as i log into my google account all my contacts are loaded to my phone, is pretty handy.
