I had same problem when I first downloaded(beta version 1.0, build 1.0.0.251) but when I went back to site next day they had new build(1.0.0.252). I downloaded this and now it syncs up. I'm not sure everything works because I couldn't drag cab files to application list, maybe on next build.

new update should fix your probs. see first post.
chief

How does this compare to my just purchased copy :-( of MissingSync

With the new update I got a new problem.
To sync with this program is no problem, but if I sync my calendar and go to ical, there are no dates.

yeah, at this time there are a few bugs with the ical plugin, so if you find a bug you should send them some infos about it wih their contact form on their page. and i think in a couple of week they can release the final.
mfg chief

now the newest version works perfect for me and my tytn, i can sync everything with ical and adressbook, i have osx.5.1. no probs at all, and much faster and better than missingsync. i hope some of you can help me to test this nice freeware to find all bugs, because this app is really useful.
regards, chief

I'm pretty satisfied with Missing Sync but I do have some small problems with it. I tried this free app some time ago but it didn't work at that time. I'd like to try again and will post my findings. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to sync more than 1 calendar? It seemed to me that you could only select 1 iCal calendar, which would be a huge dealbreaker for me.

Problem with my trinity
Does anybody archiv to make it work with an Trinity ?
I spend two evening on it without success
... and The Missing sync is not compatible with my Trinity / OS10.5 combo.

Synching files via HTC Sync

Hi.
I have setup HTC Sync to sync a folder over to my DHD. However I found syncing files to be a bit quirky.
Docs created on the device are not synced to the PC, only the other way round.
Docs deleted on the device are not deleted on the PC, only the other way round. The doc that remains on the PC needs to be modified in order to sync back to the device - seems there is some sort of cache.
Is the above a bug of HTC Sync and is happening to other persons? Is to possible to get file synching as one would expect it to be, i.e. as I was accustomed through Activesync and Windows Mobile 6.5?
Thanks.

Bump...any feedback?

Is it possible that I am the only one to experience this issue? Any feedback from other users and possibly also help?

I'm beginning to think that I am the only one to use and experience this.
OK, perhaps it's not a high priority but nevertheless quite an annoyance considering the thing worked perfectly for years in Windows Mobile and Activesync.

I'd advise you to try MyPhoneExplorer.

Thanks. I'll check that out. Do you know if MyPhoneExplorer offers two-way sync with the DHD?
Back to my original problem I have since received feedback from HTC Support. They are claiming that HTC Sync offers a choice on the sync direction, either to the PC or to the DHD. I was not offered this choice when I installed HTC Sync on the PC and neither when connecting the DHD to the PC for the first time. To be sure of this I installed HTC Sync on a second PC and connected the DHD to this second PC. Again, no choice was ever offered.
I have written back asking for proof of this sync choice offer and will post back here any feedback received. In any case I have told HTC Support that if indeed HTC Sync only offeres one-way sync then it is indeed only a half-baked solution.

I got the same problem.
Did you ever find a solution besides MyPhoneExplorer?

I'm still corresponding, sort of, with HTC. My support request was routed to HTC Italy who asked me to rewrite the request in Italian. Fortunately that was not a problem for me.
Since then there has been much to-and-fro between me and HTC with them asking me to do things that had nothing whatsoever to do with my problem. As an example they kept asking me questions as to the version of Outlook I have even though I am not syncing any contacts or calendar. They even asked me to if my problem was if I could not install HTC Sync, and another time said that one-way sync is all that HTC Sync was and during installation of the latter on the PC one is asked in which direction should the one-way sync work. All this is quite a load.
In my last communucation a couple of days ago I asked them for a clear explanation and solution, failing which I will escalae the matter through other HTC channels.
EDIT: I have not installed or tried to use MyPhoneExplorer. I expect the matter to be resolved by HTC and MyPhoneExplorer is only a last resort.

Thanks Leon.
It looks like they giving you the run around.
Keep me posted if you come right.
I will let you know if I find a solution.
thanks again

Yes, but then still no reason for HTC to look the other way and hope the problem, or I, disappear.

[Q] Definitive Sync solution?

It has been a while since i started using android on my HD2 (july 10) and a lot of beatiful things have happened thanx to the developers.
There is still one simple thing i cannot manage to solve :
SYNCING via USB tasks without paying
1) i don't want to send my appointments and task to a server in order to sync them, i like privacy
2) I don't like to pay , i prefer to donate...
Is there a valid solution out there?
I use Linux (at home-Evolution) and Windows (at work-outlook)
I need to sync Linux-Android-WM-Outlook and i prefer to do it by USB cable (or BT or Wi-Fi, but not via external server).
Please let me know which SW you use for contacts and appointments (I use Myphoneexplorer at the time, but any piece of advice is welcome) and, above all, if something to sync TASKS exists (GOATS could be an answer, but no widget...)
Hope this is the right place to post this...

Look at this. Syncroid might be what you are looking for. i´ve read about it but i haven´t android on my HD2(yet).
Test it an post your results

Only GOATS seems to work, but it does not have a widget, and this is annoying.
Thank you for the try.

oh jeah i see... hmm...
maybe this overview will help...

I already postet that on another Thread but i Think the best and free Tool to Sync in Two Ways ist Android-Sync.
Its still Pre Alpha but works realy good for me. U dont need to pay and dont need to install something on the phone. Its like Active Sync for Android

Not sure if I'm missing something here, but I'm using HTC Sync (for the Wildfire) to sync all my Outlook stuff (running on Windows 7) with my HD2 over USB.

For me this is working great.

Yes, that's correct.
I'm now using a Nexus (gingerbread) based rom and I cannot sync with HTC sync.
I'm also looking for a sync solution.

@PSH
Look at the link in my post before. There you have an overview over the different free & payed sync solutions. But i think at the moment there exist no "definitive" Sync Solution which covers all functions properly. So you have to decide which solution fits best to your whishes...

[Q] Convince me to switch to Android!

Hello my friends. Thank you in advanced for any help/input you give.
Here's my thing.. I am an avid M$er (yes I know, but I get as much good from it as the bad). I'm a professional IT guy, and I run my home network on Enterprise lvl MS Server software and Windows on all PCs.
I have been using WinMo since the days of PPC, so I know the software. I decided to give WP7 a test run (even knowing the limitations) a couple months ago, and still am disappointed. Unfortunately I got stuck with it till now, because just after I installed it my personal Exchange server crashed. It's significant because it holds all of my contact info and schedule (for backup and retrieval when I change roms), so I had to wait till I had time and patience to recover the server and my database, which left me with my only current copy of info on the phone as it couldn't get pushed back to the server to store (I never put my info online so no uploading it wasn't an option for me).
Finally exchanger recovered, its time for me to be rid of this headache of a mobile OS and initially I was going to go back to my favorite HD2 WM6.5.3 rom, but when I finally visited the thread, I came back to realize my fav rom cooker is no longer developing for my device..
So I'm faced with the choices of still using the most current from my fav cooker, finding another WM cooker and get acquainted, or try out Android seriously for a little while at least (I've had it on SD from the beginning, but not definitively explored it).
My main thing is it has to connect to my servers. That's my bread and butter so to speak. I need it to connect to my Exchange and sync seamlessly contact and schedule (main things, but would definitely like as much sync as possible), but never upload my info to Google or anywhere else. So my first proviso is can it do that? (please remember I've never seriously explored Android for this intent), and can you provide info on it?
On remote desktopping and file sharing, like I said I have enterprise lvl servers so my network is high lvl security, can it connect to this kind of network (with certs from my CA)?
Third important thing to me, and one of the big reasons I dislike WP7, the interface. I'm in lust with HTC's sense from WM6.5 roms. Absolutely like it. Is there a way to at least mimic this sense? I've been missing the at-a-glance full screen weather updates soo much too.
Aside from those things, Android on HD2 already has a plus from me for having flash, my favorite IM program (Trillian), and the wifi calling (I live in an area where I don't get service till I'm miles from home).
So with those things in mind, can someone recommend Android to me, and possibly give me as much info as they can on the features that are most important to me? Again, I've played with Android, only a little (American Android currently), and mostly to help clients and friends out.
Thanks again for your help

Thank you PresidentMcCain that is very favorable info. So my question is now, if I set Exchange up as primary email, then add my google account, will it try to sync my exchange contacts with google?

Have you looked at Appbrain website - you can explore all the apps on the market with a good description.
Im new to android (from long standing 6.5 use) and im extremly impressed, using sd method so i can fall back on 6.5 if i need it (), but it wont be long before its ditched.

You can choose specifically what or what not to sync with Google the first time when you boot up the ROM or in the Settings.
Using the "Email" app will not sync with Google servers unless you choose to forward your mail to your Gmail account (duh).

Thanks again. So what about calendar and other info synced with exchange, one note, sharepoint ect?

You can sync your contacts, tasks, messages and calendar from exchange (all of it, or you can choose which sections to sync), and it will never share it with Google for no reason (in fact you would have to explicitly copy the info yourself using import/export methods). It's worth noting that Google accounts themselves actually use exchange so both work similarly.

Thanks kbm, I didn't know about the site. But that will be very helpful if I switch.
Thanks Atomix86, That puts to rest my questions about connecting and syncing with my exchanger. Very helpful info indeed.
Anyone have any thoughts about the rest?

No problem at all, let me know if you need any more help.

Looking at the link PresidentMcCain posted, I realized the info was for Exchange 2003 and 2007. Will this also help for connecting to Exchange 2010 as well? That is what my exchange server is, and remembering a friend who just got a Mytouch 4g recently was having a problem connecting to Exchange 2010 with the default app.

Maybe this might help. I read it this morning than came across this thread.
i dont know about exchange accounts. So if this is what you needed than its all good.

Thanks czarsuperstar, that app would help with note syncing, but looks like not for connecting to Exchange 2010 in general.

I was on winmo for a while and loved it to be honest but i went to sd android back in January an the google syncs convinced me and not long after i got nand and Ive not once looked back, i went back on winmo about a month ago just to see whats new etc and think i had it on for about 20 miutess before i flashed android straight back so its always worth a shot so id test the sd builds first to get your own opinion and then build on from there
Good luck and enjoy the future....

[Q] A litle too annoyed about missing java on optimus 7

Guys! I have a litle (big for me) problem: I really miss a few java apps and I wanna know how the heck can I port those on my beloved optimus 7? This phone doesn't support java, but I believe that some apps can be ported! Can I find a tutorial about this??? I will atach a java file that I wanna put on my phone, maybe a kind gent developer may look at it and tell me at least if is possibile! Thanks in advance and please, don't let a poor noob to stay in the dark!

I'm sorry to disappoint you but there's no way you can run java on wp7. There is no java runtime in wp7.
The only thing that would be possible is to build the app from scratch in silverlight. It shouldn't be that had if you know some C# and you have the source code fro the desired java app. But i think building a sinaxar app it's pretty easy if using some specific web services or API. Maybe you should look into building your own simple app instead of porting the java one. You can find many tutorials on wp7 developing and it is easier than you might think.
PS: Have you searched for Orthodox Calendar on Marketplace?
PPS: I have an idea that might work: Search for an orthodox holiday calendar in ical format. You should be able to find some online. Download the ical and sync it with your exchange calendar. Then sync the exchange calendar with your phone. The calendar should be on your phone this way. So you don't need a sinaxar, because you have the orthodox holidays in your phones calendar. I think this should work with google calendar or msn calendar as well.

Orthodox calendar is more about russian and not romanian! Already tried it! I've syncronized my windows live calendar with an .ics one, but now I'm facing another trouble: yahoo mail account not working! Keep asking me for the correct password! Tried to delete it and create another one, but does not work. I've tried with advanced settings and on INCOMING mail had pop.mail.yahoo.com, tried again with imap.mail.yahoo.com, but nothing seems to work!

Hey,
I would recommend using google calendar or exchange (if you have one) for sync. Yahoo is known for issues, and Hotmail... i have no experience with that. But with the first two it works great.

Problem solved. Imap was the problem. Thanx a lot, but I still miss a lot at least a java emulator
