Hi everyone
I have been playing with my phone (mytouch 3g 32B) for a while now and I am trying to get it to work with HTC SYNC as I hate using companionlink and google for my syncing data.
I have tried to installed several "sync.apk" and none worked. I also tried few different roms with no success.
Has anyone been able to get htc sync to work with mytouch 32B as their phone? If so which rom/program did you use? If not what path should I take to see how it may or may not be done?
thanks in adance.
MyTouch sync
I just bought a MySync off of someone. it drives me nuts that I cannot sync it to my outlook! did you ever find a solution?
I also just gave up but bought Gsyncit. Expensive but it actually syncs everything to Gmail which in turn syncs it to my phone.
It was also a bit of a pain to set up. But it is the most reliable program I've found that actually sync's everyting with outlook on Win 7 64bit and Outlook 2010

I know T-Mo does not include HTC Sync with the MT3. I wonder if anyone is running HTC Sync to sync Outlook Calendar and Contacts directly with MT3. Does HTC Sync work with the MT3 and allow direct syncing? I want to get a MT3 for my wife. She has everything in Outlook and direct sync'g would be so much easier than going through Google. Thanks for the help.

I got HT Sync running with a myTouch 3G Slide.
I added the following line:
%MyHTC%=HTCAND64.Dev, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0E03&MI_01
in the androidusb.inf located in <ProgramFiles x86>\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64
And reinstalled the driver for the unknown device in the device manager. I got a message that it was not signed, but it is now detetcted by HTC Sync (2.0.33)
HTC Sync 2.0.35 & MTSlide...no joy...repeat..no joy
Installing 2.0.35 in Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2 goes just fine. However, when the phone is connected via USB the device manager, while recognizing there is a MT Slide connected, puts up a Yellow Yield icon next it's name in the Android Devices category.
Anyone else run into this issue, or seen this behavior ? If so, I'd be interested to know, what if any headway has been made in getting it to recognize the device copmletely.
Hi,
First I hope it’s alright to post this here.
I have been a windows mobile user for years, presently Verizon I760; I really would like to get the Incredible. I have two things that concern me. Any Information or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
1. Will I be able to get outlook and the phone to automatically sync contacts, and calendar (both ways) when I connect it with a usb cable?
2. Will I be able to voice dial with a Bluetooth headset?
I am a small business and normally sync to my work computer and my home laptop. I have no idea what exchange is or if that is an option for me.
Thank you advance for your help.
I am very much in the same boat as you as a long time Windows Mobile user (presently with the XV6900). There are several ways to do what you are asking but as of yet, in my opinion, none are great.
One is CompanionLink (companionlink.com/androidusb/ol-android-usb.html). While it does use a USB cable, it uses its own custom apps for calendar, contacts, and everything else. It is unclear to me at this point how big of an issue that is. For example, if you are trying to make a phone call and all the contacts were imported into this custom program, will it find them?
The next is Missing Sync (markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html). It does what we both want, importing the data right where it is supposed to go, but they aren't quite there yet. I have been watching this software for months and slowly they add features. For example they just recently added the ability to sync notes. They still don't let you sync Calendar as of yet.
Lastly the backup plan for me at the moment is using Google's own sync software so you will sync your calendar and contacts with Google's website automatically and your phone will get the info from Google. I am not a big fan of this as I don't particularly want my info online and I would rather it go straight to the phone if I happen to be going somewhere with no internet access. Like I couldn't sync my phone if I was abroad.
So, I am waiting for Missing Sync to get done and until then am planning on using Google's service.
As for Bluetooth dialing, I imagine so but I am not sure.
There is also HTC Sync
Deejx! You are my hero. I feel so happily dumb. The description on the HTC website says:
HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well.
PERFECT! Thank you. Wow much better.
HTC Sync seems to be able to Sync Via the USB cable
How ever i ran into a program that syncs stright into Gmail itself.
You can find this and more on my blog http://techadminspot.blogspot.com/2010/04/getting-ready-for-htc-incredible.html
The software that syncs outlook with gmail is called CompanionLink http://www.companionlink.com/
Also Dropbox is working on a Android App to sync files.
No Bluetooth Voice Dial on Android
As far as voice dialing from your bluetooth, Android doesn't support that yet. There are several threads on Googles forum about this including this one: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1412
Hopefully they'll get it together soon.

lol not likely, it's been open since 2008
HTC sync won't work with Outlook 2010 64 .as of yet. You have to transfer your contacts and Calendar stuff to your gmail account. One way is to download a transfer program via 'trial', then transfer from gmail to phone using HTC sync. Can only verify for Win7 64 and Office 2010 64.
I saw that HTC Sync 3 launched for a couple devices in Europe last week, namely the Desire & Wildfire. I'm wondering that since the Desire is virtually the same hardware as the Incredible if it will work for us. HTC Sync 3 adds iTunes synchronization and thats huge for me as I don't prefer the Doubletwist workaround. So I pose these questions;
has anybody tried it? if so does it work?
does anybody have a mirror to the software? I've tried the HTC site but it doesn't recognize the Incredible's serial number so it will not download.
Thanks in advance for the help.
i haven't tried it, but its reliant also on the PCSCII.apk and whether that supports it. I've heard reports it doesn't work with the Inc, but I have it downloaded somewhere so I guess I can try it out.
My bad. It works, at least for what I tried it with (wmp syncing).

Awesome, thanks Adrynalyne... I was able to sync all my photos and my music with my PC using the version you posted.
Absolute must have! Thanks!
Outlook
Does it work with outlook contacts and calendar (which is ALL I use it for)? Thanks!

Worked for me. At least it appears to have worked. I didn't get any errors. A picture of the Incredible actually pops up on the screen when connected to the device. I synced my music, and my contacts/calendar from Outlook 2007. Cool !
I can't speak to contacts/calendar/mail because i sync mine OTA with exchange, but it works beautifully for syncing music and other media. I honestly don't understand how HTC managed to go so long without releasing something like this.
Works Great!
Just intalled and it works great with my Inc.
Outlook, Itunes - this is awesome!
Seems to install and sync fine - except it can't see my sd card. Have I missed something?

Mine is a little funky with memory also-
The only thing it can see is my SD card - I dont see anywhere to change what it is looking at.
You can't. This version isn't specifically for the Dinc, so it doesn't have the ability. One would assume HTC will soon have a Dinc specific version out.
I don't care for Doubletwist either. I found TuneSync and it works perfect. Opens my iTunes I check what songs I want go to the app tell it what to sync done.
i had a TP2 and all my contacts numbers are backed up in microsoft outlook.What is the best way to get them from there to my new phone ?

My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
It's a good point actually.
If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.
I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!
Yep here to
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.
Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.

Thank you.
I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?
Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?
Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:
http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right.
OK,
I have attached a PDF on how to use the Dell Sync tool to sync your contacts. It would seem some folks are having issues with it.

How about the Outlook Calendar and Notes?
Thanks for the tutorial - it was helpful!
Is threre a way to synchronize Calendar and Notes from Outlook also?
From the Dell Sync tool, I do NOT see that you can sync the Calendar and Notes.
outlook set up

You can only use dell sync tool, since Dell Mobile Sync powered by Nero is for Android Froyo 2.2.
whatever I do, it will show 5 hours estimation time of syncing my 1400 contacts., and whenever I let it sync once I return to my comp to xheck it will say sync success 900 failed 500. Stewpid nero program. Even I tried to unmount the sd card, in hoping to prevent nero to even think to sync media files, it just says error, I must mount the sd card
Play Pass the ball !!
Well,
In this regard, I must say my Gene WM 6 / 6.5 with Activesync was really cool!
The sync happened just fine, and considerably fast too!
There has to be some workaround, other than Nero's Groundbreaking Research Software.
(I have tried MPE and some other, but, dont seem to work for me!)
I finally had to beam my contacts from my WM to dear Streaky.
then, Streak asked me whether to save all contacts,
I said, yes please..
And, they were added!
care,
Sony.
A much easier method is to simply open a new Google account.
Install the Google Desktop Sync onto your PC, and it will sync all your Outlook Contacts and Calendars with the Google account ... which the Streak will also happily sync with over-the-air.
Voila - wireless syncing from Outlook.
The real beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on any part of the Streak (or any other phone) - when you buy a new phone, you just point it at the same Google account to pull all your information.

the dell tool stopped syncing calendar & note with 2.2. truly a POS tool now.
Not syncing Google contacts or connecting with Dell Sync
Ok guys, I recently recovered my precious Streak from what I thought was a lost cause from being bricked....
I ran the QDL tool and everything went off without a hitch.
I tried to install Clockwork but all I kept getting was a black screen and so I finally flashed Streakwork and now all is good. I will mention that I have QuickBoot installed and when I try to tell it to get me to the Recovery screen it just boots right back into Android. But I'm still happy, using the volume buttons is no big deal...
So after I got Streakmod installed I immediately upgraded to Streakdroid...
SO here is the situation, plain and simple... my Streak is not syncing with anything else. I have my Gmail account configured and it's been a week now and my contacts and calender have yet to reflect what's in my Gmail account. Likewise when I connect the Streak to my computer, it will not sync up with the Dell PC suite.
I have tried clear all user info and starting over and yet it does nothing. When I connect the phone to the computer, I can see Android ADB device in the device manager, yet the Dell Suite won't recognize the phone.
I would also like to ask, where can I get a stock ROM that I can flash as easily as DJ Steve's Streakdroid?
If that is not possible... then I wanna ask if I run the QDL tool to get back to stock 2.2, will I loose Streakmod and root?
Thanks guys, hope y'all can help!!
I use myphonexplorer for syncing to outlook it works well for contacts and calendar

For anyone who wants full outlook syncing plus a bunch of other awesome features, use "myphoneexplorer" and skip the dell software. You will not regret it.
I use it everyday.
Also, it's free.
Hands tied with myPhoneexplorer
yeah, that is one way to go but it is very restrictive. I have MOST of my contacts with several phone numbers and emails for each and myPhonexplorer doesn't jive with the customized fields so it's really no good to me because it's so simple

I don't know anything about the Gmail issue, but the Sync is four steps for me.
1) Start the Sync application on your pc.
2) Start the Sync widget on your phone.
3) Connect phone to pc.
4) Wait a few seconds while they find each other.
This doesn't resolve one very basic problem in that Sync is a Nero product. It doesn't do contacts, only media.
