Hello!
Does the Samsung i9000 have full access with the Android 2.1 to the MS Exchange stuff (ok, I know, without tasks) including the calendar and maybe also the group calendar?
Thx!
Greetings... Plattfuss
Android 2.1 can sync mail, contacts and calendar, but I didn't check if you can open shared calendars in it

Hello folks,
I have my contacts uploaded to Gmail contacts, and a ton of them also include birthday information.
Unfortunately, it seems that the sync to the "Persons" app on the HTC Hero doesn't sync over that piece of info? Or am I missing something somewhere?
Kind regards
It did not do it for me. I had to create Google Calendar events for my contacts to get the birthday information synched.
In Google Mail, under "Other Calendars", there is a "Contact's Birthdays" calendar you can subscribe to.

Thanks i didn't know it existed there
they buried it deep
P.S: you mean under google calendar not mail
Google Calendar, yes, of course.
BTW, Android 2.x will sync the birthday field in your contacts.
ok, we can have the calendar but not the sync in the address book.
if android 2.x can sync, we can not be sure that relative htc-sense addressbook upgrade does it...
...and I think that if you have saved some date on the phone is not sure that you can keep it during the update, expecially if you have a modaco or another mod...
I m running WM and I have 2 accounts on my HD2:
1. My work mail (Exchange)
2. My Gmail
My work mail is push and m agenda and contacts are synced perfect.
However, I also want my Gmail calendar and contact to get synced. Is this possible?
I think only WP7 supports syncing PIM with multiple sources.
Hi guys,
I have got the HD2 and everyone is telling me to go to android, however i do use outlook at work to sync my contacts and calander from exchange server, and can also only be done via wireless on laptop.
If i go to android can i sync contacts and calander to my phone??
because i use this alot i dont want to have hassel trying to do it, and is basically the last thing before i make my mind up to change or not?
Cheers
Exchange sync is there on Android but it differs slightly between a sense and non-sense build.
Either way they all lack sync features that you get with Windows Mobile.
Touchdown is the best feature wise for exchange activesync but the interface is horrible and it doesn't really integrate with the built in mail / calendar / contacts apps.
If you just want to sync Contacts and Calendar, and arent too fussed about private appointments, categories etc... then built in android exchange sync will be fine for you.
So I've just flashed a Gingerbread ROM after coming from mcr r9 for a few months. Prior to that I was on stock Sense 2.1 (I'm sure some may remember that! )
With 2.1 the calendar app, you had the option to have a good few calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
a "my calendar" or similar calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
and iirc UK holidays
and maybe the Facebook calendar
With 2.2 going into the Calendar app and pressing [Menu]>More...>Calendars>[Menu] they removed the "my calendar"/"personal calendar" but you still have these calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
UK holidays
Facebook calendar
Now in Oxygen rc7/test build @6 Feb 11 you obviously get the new 2.3.2 calendar.
It looks like I only have
your google/gmail account calendar
UK holidays
So my questions are:
Is that correct or is the calendar still a WiP?
Is this something google are slowly changing over the android revisions i.e. Is this a feature of gingerbread or the 2.3.2 calendar? - So that people are forced to use google calendar as their sole calendar...
I need to use Outlook calendar on my pc and sync both a WM phone and this android phone from that - I don't want to sync my calendar with/migrate to google calendar thanksbutnothanks.
Do I have any options/workarounds other than to go back to froyo?
Thanks for reading this far and for any insight/help you may give.
I have had succes syncing my Outlook with something called Myphoneexplorer (for PC there is an android client app for this program.)
But I have found syncing the contacts can be a bit of a pain because of the multiple contact sources (facebook LinkedIn and Google) and it take some work to actually link the contacts on the phone to remove and combine the dupes.
I haven't had time to play with it very much but it did sync my contacts and calendar.
Still a robust and cloud consolidating option would be a god send.
Not sure if that would require better cloud support in Outlook but it seems logical.
I am running the GPE 5.0.1 ROM by @Danvdh and I'm having a problem syncing to my new work email account. I haven't had exchange on this phone before so I don't know if its a problem, or just not possible. In my searches it looks like I might need a few different apps, but that's why I here asking.
I have installed "Bluemail" and added my MS Exchange account info. Email syncs fine, but I'm trying to get my contacts (google) to sync with my work email, along with my calendar. The rom doesn't have a calendar installed by default so I installed "Business Calendar", but I'm not married to it at all, and am more than willing to switch to get it to sync. I also tried "Nine" email app but it doesn't seem to be syncing contacts TO Exchange, (maybe just from it?) And I don't know where its trying to sync the calendar to, but it doesn't appear to be working either. I hope this is all possible because on my old work phone (iPhone) everything would sync up easily and I really don't want to go to an iPhone.
