I cannot get the android to PC sync to save my contacts on my PC. I go thru and sync it but I dont get anything under the summary. Any idea?
( It does go thru with the whole sync process )
Did you go into settings on the HTC Sync program and check the box to "sync this catagory"? You can also do it for your Calander. Also you can tell the sync program if you wish the pc to overwrite the phone or vise, versa.
The HTC Sync program only works with Windows Outlook, not sure about Outlook Lite or any other such program.
I hope these pics are of help to you Mate.......

I dropped my HTC wizard and it broke. How can I access the calendar that I have activesynced on my PC? It powers on so I could probably connect it to my PC via activesync but I have no idea how I could get the calendar app running on my PC.
I used to own a Sonyericsson p800 once and it had a great utility which let you manage calendar and phonebook items via pc, is there one for windows mobile?
So basically all I want is to view the calendar items via my pc because I have every appointment and important reminder in my phone's calendar

ActiveSync to Outlook
ActiveSync will sync calendar entries, notes and tasks to Outlook.
I had a similar problem with my JAMin. I bricked it while trying to flash with a customized ROM. I installed the WM5 emulator from Microsoft and managed to restore my last backup (SPB Backup) on the emulator and then sync this to Outlook.
(The local phone dealer is unbricking the phone under warranty!)
Where can I find the backups on my PC? I looked in Program Files/Activesync/ but couldn't see anything resembling a database file... Note that I'm not very technical with these things...
EDIT: I have the WM5 emulator and Outlook installed so I just need to find where the activesync backups are located.
UPDATE: Just got activesync working, so although the phone screen is busted, I can activesync it.
So please, anyone, let me know how I can get the phonebook and calendar info into my pc. I can view all the files on the phone via activesync -> Explore.
have you made any prior backups in your pocketpc?
whether you did or did not, here's an alternative method...
with activesync open, choose tools>options, then place a tick mark on contacts and calendars. press ok.
when you click on "sync", the contacts and calendar items will be placed in microsoft outlook. when you open outlook, you can view them, along with inbox, etc.
Ok, tried that and it synced them all... so they should be in my pc now, but where? Which directory??
start > programs > microsoft outlook
Can't see anything, I have Outlook 2002, maybe it does not support WM5? I did get an error when syncing:
"Cannot synchronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected. Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile.
Support code:8503001f"
I have never used Outlook on my PC before...
EDIT: Just to clarify: Outlook opens fine, but all the calendar entries and notes etc. are blank.

i also have outlook 2002... i'm sorry, i cannot help you past this point (i understand zilch about "profiles"). i'm sure there are others who know what to do next.
There has to be a simple way to just yank out the calendar data from my phone just by using Explorer on my desktop pc, right? Please say it's so because now I uninstalled Outlook and I'm getting more errors than before, now I really don't even know where to start.
This is really driving me nuts... I know I have at least four job appointments for tomorrow, and it's now 11pm and I can't get them out of my phone, and I can't sleep because I know that I'm going to be really royally screwed tomorrow if I have to go to work and don't know where I'm supposed to go during the day.
I think I'll revert back to using a pen and paper calendar in the future...
I have to bump this up... I really need help in getting the calendar entries out of my phone.
If this was the first time you synchronised calendar data then ActiveSync should've taken you through the configuration of a new Outlook profile. If not, then you may already have a profile configured. Outlook's mail profiles can be managed from the Mail icon in the Control Panel on your PC.
I can't give you the details, but this is what I can vaguely recall.
There are a few files in the root directory of your phone that can be copied via activesynced-explorer (e.g. the mobile device on your My Computer). The file is something like PIM.xxx. If you have a spare phone to use, you may want to try copying these files into the other phone and see if the calendar stuff is in there or not.
Else, try to do activesync on another computer and transfer all calendar stuff into Outlook. when you have your new phone, just plug the phone in and have everything synced into the new phone.
I've lost all the contacts on my wm6 address book... Is there any way i could get them back?
Here's what i did.. basically i connected my mobile trough activesync (using windows xp) and i though it would be neat to backup my contacts also (i didn't have the contacts checked in the sync options of activesync). After i checked the contacts and clicked the sync button all the contacts from my mobile were gone.
I don't use outlook even though i have outlook 2007 installed.
Also everything that was checked to sync has gone (notes, tasks etc)
first you may check if _pim.vol_ file in the root directory exist. you may open it with excel on the computer and try to read your contacts. if no, say good bye to your contacts
second: it was said to WM users many times !!always backup your data!!
use _contacts backup_ utility on your pda, or save it in outlook, and you'll never have problems.
Check the deleted folder in outlook. Assuming u sync with outlook. They may all be there - worked for me before, just copy them back into contact and let it sync back...
Hi
I have outlook 2007 and vista and htc touch diamond i cant get my contacts on outlook when i connect the phone with usb, and i dont know how can import them from the phone to outlook.
can anyone help pls???
When you first plug in the phone it brings up the Windows Mobile Centre on your PC, and asks if you want to set up the phone or just leave it as a 'guest' partnership. If you selected the latter you will not be able to sync without changing the settings of the sync option.
This can easily be done in either the Mobile Device Centre on the PC or on Activesync on your phone, but you need to say you wish to sync the phone, and then also say you wish to sync the contacts.

Hi guys! Just got my X10 yesterday and been trying to figure out what software to use to synchronize my X10 with my PC (i have Windows 7 64 bit). I have downloaded and installed SE PC Suite but no joy there, it could not recognize my phone. I would like to synchronize contacts from Outlook on my PC to my phone and will appreciate it if any one could help. Thanks!
With or without the cloud? Are you wishing to continue using outlook or just trying to move your contacts over?
Try to get your contacts uploaded over to gmail instead.
Use google to sync....
what kind of phone do you have? other than x10?
the google server that you use is:
m.google.com
username
password
etc.
I can't sync my X10 with pc suite either.
Got it now. The Synch software is in the supplied SD Card and it's what i used to install the PC software. Now using Sony Ericsson Sync and Google as well. Thanks to all those who responded!
Does the Gmail sync maintain categories? I know some people who have tried to sync their Outlook with Gmail and lost the categorisation.
Cloud computing = FAIL. Either store everything on your PC/phone or enjoy losing your data.
I can still don't connect to my X10 from SE PC Suite.
any one got idea?
I'm run win7 64. I can connect SE Media Go and see it in the Explore

X10 uses Sony Ericsson PC Companion, which is bundled on the SD card. PC Suite is only for old devices i think
Ok. Sad PC Companion can't read SMS
Ok, I'm borrowing this thread a bit...
Can someone tell me how to sync X10 from Outlook?
Is there a way to sync X10 with Gmail? And sync Gmail and Outlook automatically?
I would like to have same contacts/calendar in X10/Gmail/Outlook. If I change or add data in one of them, all the others will sync automatically.
It doesn't matter if it is a program that cost money.
In settings for my X10, I can only choose "Sync with Gmail". Google Sync and SE sync are disabled and can't be chosen. What is wrong?
I also want pictures in contact to be synced as well.
Perhaps this can be of interest?
Google Apps Outlook sync.

I struggled for a long time with the same thing. In fact you need to tap the line ABOVE Google Sync (should be called "select sync program" or similar). Then you get to choose SE sync or Google sync.
SE sync synchronises profile pictures. I like the SE sync website. I didn't bother testing Google sync yet.
need some advice here.
for some weird reasons, the install file that comes with my X10 cannot be installed on my Vista laptop, but worked perfectly on my XP laptop.
Is there something that I shld do to make it install on Vista?
thanks

Don't know if it will help you since I sync with my Mac and iCal... but the way I did it was to make both my mac and the phone to sync to google.
To get my diffent calenders, "work" and "personal" not to merge in google calender i first exported then as a cal-file (I think you can do this in outlook as well) and then made new calenders in google calender and imported each of them to a "work" and "personal" calender in google.
Then I set up the phone to sync to google and got all my calender-stuff.
Now I went to iCal.. disabled the calenders i had exported earlier and went to settings/account (I hope the names is somewhat like this.. I have a swedish computer...)
There I set up a CalDAV-account with all my google-account information. Under "Delegation" i then selected the "work" and "personal"-calender.
Now I got the two calender back, all synced from google calender and up to date with the phone.
The adress book had a setting to sync with Google under settings/account as well.. worked right away. Except I had tried to use some other sync-program before, and that made my computer think that the contacts that was already synced with google was new.. so I got a lot of doubles. I had taken a backup before, so I deleted all contacts and restored it, and synced again.
Now my adress book and my calender is up to date on my computer, on the web and in my phone all the time.

I installed the Google Calendar sync application on my work laptop and my home machine which both run Outlook.
This application syncs a Google Mail Contacts and Calendar with the outlook accounts and vice-versa.
Sync your phone with your Google account and voila: Contacts and Calendar on two PCs, the web and my phone and all self-update.
Then use FBSync to link your phone contacts with your Facebook ones and let Timescape rip!
I am unable to sync mail as I work for a security company, but the supplied Moxier App syncs with Outlook.
Instead I simply hard coded my home email details into the Xperia's Email app, which also shoves it straight into Timescape.
if you do use Moxier, be warned that it seems to be a major factor in poor battery life.

I'm a newbie to Android, earlier I had X1 which synced with Outlook very easy.
Is there any way to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my HTC hd2 tmobile usa without using any second party email service, just straight outlook to hd2. I have tried some of the stuff on the board.....everything syncs except contatcs. I luv this phone but this is really irritating, after discarding my iphone (which was so easy working with contatcs). Other than this problem , I am officially a fan
I don't get it, doesn't it automatically sync your contacts when you plug it in your pc? Did you already download windows mobile center on your PC?
Download and install Windows Mobile Device Center (microsoft). Sync your phone via USB and creat a partnership. Choose to sync contacts, mobile favorites, calender, files, etc. as you like (right calender to choose how far ahead to sync). There are directions and you can search the site for more and, if all else fails, ask again.
