Auto-Sync with Outlook - EVO 4G General

I was just able to auto-sync with Outlook 2010, without wires and it worked from PC-phone/phone-PC; I used companionlink.
I do not work for companionlink.
companionlink works by outlook sync-ing with a google account and then automatically sync-ing with the phone.
Hope this helps. If you know of a better-way let everyone know.

Companionlink rocks
Just finished setting up Companionlink. It is awesome so far.
I'm happy to pay for the service if it keeps my 4 PCs, Google, and EVO in sync !

Syncing Notes into Outlook

I would like to use an app which creates notes that can be syncronized with Outlook Notes.
Can you gimme some piece of advice?
Thank you in advance
i've been looking for this as well without much success.
there's a program called nitronotes which syncs outlook notes but you have to have sync mode set as disk drive ...
Does anyone know how to sync their outlook 2007 notes to their HTC EVO 4G?
as far as I know the only app that really works for synching everything from outlook to the Desire is Companionlink but it costs 40 US$............
expensive but it works great

There is a workaround, to sync Outlook-Notes.
You can use "Note Everything" for use Outlook-Notes.
Export it from Outlook and then import in "Note Everything".
That's not really sync, but it helps to transfer the notes from Outlook to mobile.

How sync task...using Outlook Only no Google??

Still waiting on my DINC...
I am a WM user and ActiveSync does sync task. I read the HTC sync does not and I need all my contacts, calendar, task, etc sync
I do not use Google at all so can anyone recommend to me how to sync task or maybe another app I can use...?
Not your answer but ...
My #1 concern when leaving WM (I really really wanted my next phone to be WM) was outlook sync. I am very happy with the Calendar and Contact sync the Incredible does. I have not tried tasks and can't tell you about that. I use rememberthemilk for tasks; it is an online task manager which will also sync to astrid (free task manager) on your phone.

Wow...thx this is good feedback and I agree I do not have my DINC yet but am very concerned about leaving WM in the fact I do not know how my Outlook data will sync over to the new device since I am so use to ActiveSync
So sounds like you are saying installing rememberthemilk with add the function to sync my Outlook task to the DINC device..?
I switch from WM6.1 to DINC the day it came out. I use Touchdown for Exchange syncing and it works very well (occasionally it loses settings but that is a refresh and a re-sync of 15 minutes). Touchdown is $20, but Android 2.2 will have better Exchange capabilities I understand.
I don't use Tasks so its not that big a deal to me but everything else works flawlessly. Here is a link to the new Exchange features:

Sounds interesting....how does this help when I use copy email Outlook which is on Exchange and then I use personal email on my home Outlook...the WM creates separate mailboxes for Exchange mail and the other personal mail??
Syncing tasks is a big deal to me too. So far I've found only one way to do it well with my desktop Outlook and my DI. On the Incredible I use an app called Got to Do. It is nothing but a task/to do list. BUT, it does sync with a web-based app called Toodledo, which has a feature that syncs with Outlook.
So my Outlook tasks automatically sync with Toodledo, which automatically syncs with the app on my DI.
So far it's working okay but if someone were to develop a stand alone desktop app that syncs with an android app, I'd sure take s hard look at it.
Good info...thx
I have all my contacts loaded on my account on my company's exchange server. I sync all my email and contacts and calendar through there. I don't do tasks.
Sometimes there are "glitches" that require you to have to mess with it. I had to re-add my account probably twice since 5/1 but its quick and easy to do.

How Do I Sync Outlook and Vibrant?

Hi, all.
The manual for Vibrant, beginning on Page 120, talks about using Samsung Kies to sync files between the PC and Vibrant. I downloaded Kies version 1.5.1.10071_32 through samsungapps.com. Installed no problem on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS. I've got 32-bit Outlook 2010 installed.
I enabled the USB connection through Kies on my phone. Drivers installed no problem when the phone was connected through USB.
First time using Kies, contacts sync'd up just fine. Calendar, not so much. Nothing sync'd.
Subsequent attempts to connect the phone sometimes hangs Kies. When the connection is successful, and I attempt to sync, my entire calendar will be imported into Kies, but only a few of the appointments get into the phone. Sometimes no appointments get into the phone. There's no rhyme or reason to what makes it, what doesn't, and it varies from attempt to attempt.
I live and die by Outlook, and trying to make the move to Gmail won't work for me.
Let me add something here. I don't like clouds. Clouds conjure up visions of rain, darkness, thunder and lightning, wind, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Scary stuff. That's why I'm not too big on using Gmail to sync the phone. It also doesn't work real well when the rest of the business world relies on Outlook. For the time being, I've exported my contacts and calendar to CSV DOS files, then uploaded them to Gmail. This is what I have to do everytime I want to update my phone, and it's a pain in the butt.
Even though my US Vibrant manual says to use Kies to sync the phone, the Samsung Apps website makes no indication of any support for US phones, and says my country is not supported by the site. Of the phones listed for other countries (including Canada and the United Kingdom), the Galaxy S is not listed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any third party apps that work well?
Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions.
I am assuming you're using Outlook without an Exchange server? This phone syncs just fine if you have an Exchange server.

Right. No Exchange server.
One other thing.
The initial contacts sync works great, subsequent contacts sync hangs at 35%, forced close, then a re-sync destroys the contact list.
I have the same problem. Coming from an Iphone this is the only downside I found with Android.
My Iphone was able to sync outlook (contacts, calendar and notes) + my internet favorites.
Now I use
- KIES for sync my contacts
- google sync to sync my calendar
I didn't found a way to sync my notes or my IE favorites
Still searching
Otherwise there is some third party soft like CompanionLink but they cost $$
Another option for you if you use GMail as your mail provider (via Outlook) is to use Google Calendar Sync. It will sync your Outlook Calendar with your GMail Calendar, which would then automatically Sync with your Android device. That's how I've been doing it since I've had my G1 and it's worked great...no need to plug in and sync anything.

Google Calendar Sync does not yet work with Outlook 2010.

I've been doing the same thing for over a year via OutLook. I just set it up at work as a Scheduled Task and it runs 30minutes before I go home. Keeps the IT guys off my back if they happen to look at my Task Bar and see thing odd running.
TouchDown
I am testing out a trial version of Exchange TouchDown by NitroDesk.
I am not able to post the link but you can google it.
It syncs email, contact, calendar and tasks via USB for stand alone Outlook as well as OTA sync to your Exchange mailbox. Give it a try and let us know how it worked out for you.
I have a different issue... Outlook 2003. I start out with all contacts LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. I sync and all of my contacts last and first names are now transposed in my PC. Now they show FIRST NAME, LAST NAME. It isn't just a function of 'sorting' for when I click on a contact on my PC, the contact's first and last names have actually swapped.
Anybody else experiencing this or have any suggestions? I really like this phone but the absolute lack of being able to update contacts via USB sync (do not like the cloud idea AT all either) is making me think about returning it. Thanks!

There is an application "CT Live Sync" may fit your need, but I never try that since my WLM is good for nothing but hotmail. Mind try it out and share with us your test result?

Later this year, Windows Live will turn on Exchange ActiveSync support. This will make it easy to sync with Android and iPhones.
Until then, you can't sync with Live other than POP3 access to your email. I simply setup a gmail account and import all the contacts over and setup Gmail server to fetech emails from my hotmail account and push down to my phone via GMail.
ok, thanks for your info, i guess i will wait until full Exchange ActiveSync support...
greetings...

FYI: sync with Outlook

-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..
