Hi, I recently switched from MyHero to Cyanogen and am really starting to miss the Exchange functionality I had in MyHero. After configuring my works exchange server it would sync mails, contacts and calendar events.. extremely useful!
Now on Cyanogen I have "Work Email" which lets me check the mail on my works exchange server, but it;s kind of annoying as it's a different mail client, plus it doesn't sync contacts and calendar events.
Anyone know if I can get the exchange functionality from MyHero in Cyanogen?
Thanks!
Just got to work, a collegue has a HTC Dream which apparently has the full exchange funcionality.
How does my HTC Magic with a newever version of Android (and improvements by Cyanogen) have a crappier mail client than him? It makes no sense.
Please tell me how to get the full mail functionality I'm supposed to have
Just found out Cyanogen doesn't use the HTC Framework because it's not open source. Understandable but for me it's a deal breaker..
I'm starting to look for a new ROM..
I'm curious too about what ROMs offer full exchange functionality. So far, I've been using Hotweiss' Hofo ROMS, but those are 32a only.

It depends on what you mean by "full exchange functionality". There are many ROMs with Microsoft ActiveSync support. I have been most satisfied with the HTC Mail client running under Sense UI. I have an HTC Magic 32A device. I am currently using GyD 2.11. The HTC Mail client works brilliantly. Email, contacts, and calendar events sync. It is reported that 1.5 and 1.6 don't fully support the extra security layers on Exchange. Unless your company requires PIN lock/remote wipe, you can most likely use any 1.5 ROM to connect. Again, I have been most happy with the HTC Mail clients running under 1.5 cupcake builds.
You will not gain anything additional for work email if you've already been using Hofo Sense UI ROM. Hofo, GyD, MyHero, Mlign - they all have Exchange ActiveSync.
is there a way to use htc sync pc application with hd2 to sync contacs music and more
bumbing............
no...answer???
If you need to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook use Android Sync. It's still in beta so there may be some problems (it doesn't support recurrent appointments as an example).
Hello. I tested using Android Sync with the FroyoStone Series - Version 1 (07-Aug-2010) build and was not able to perform a sync as the Android Sync app would not recognize my TMobile HD2. As I understand it, the FroyoStone build does not yet fully support USB so this may be why I observed the aforementioned results.
works with froyostone sense, the newest kernel and HTC Sync 3.0.5422
Yes you can
I have HTC sync working flawless on newest MattC 1.6B.
Download and install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726504
Reboot after install
Plug in phone and choose htc sync option.
Make sure drivers install correctly....if not you need this
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Check for update inside HTC sync
Download and Install update
Turn off sync for contacts and calenders (Kept getting unable to read from PIM message with these on and then sync cancelled)
**First sync takes a while if you have alot of file, but after that it is smooth as butta**
If anyone has a workaround for contacts and calenders please let me know as this would be handy!
Hope it works!
There is an android sync at android-sync.com for outlook sync. Seems good..

Are you sure that HTC sync is sync-ing contacts properly with outlook 2007?
In my case it leaves the phone numbers in fields "car", "Radio", "Assistant" etc. in a contact in outlook 2007.
I am using latest 3.11.55 ver of HTC Sync.
Any body with such issues?

Sorry for bumping an old thread.
This is what I am looking for, but you have to pay for it, as the trial only syncs 20 contacts.
Why should I pay for something that is still in beta and I feel it should be free, since android is free....
Or am I just being stupid? Are there any other free 'syncs' that I can use? I just want to sync my contacts....

IT IS CONFIRMED
new version of HTC Sync syncs all the fields of outlook on my desktop.
Now Android is a welcome platform....
Can anyone recomend a working method for syncing my android HD2 with outlook as this is a key feature for me if i want to run android FT.
Mine syncs without any problem through my exchange account. As far as anything special to do it I use all the same settings as I did in WinMo. Works like a charm.
Are you having trouble at a specific step?
Sent from my Android HD2 via XDA app
It's not possible to Sync directly with USB as far as I know...not easily anyway.
What I did was install "Google Calendar Sync" and sync my Outlook with my Gmail account. This can sync Outlook to Gmail on a schedule so it stays updated.
Then in Android, sync with my Gmail account.
gsyncit
i use gsyncit, which syncs calendar, tasks, notes and contacts. it's not free, but very good. since this solution i didn't use winmo again...
SYncMyCal
SyncMyCal for me. Not free again but allows update to my Google account and works well. Haven't use ActiveSync or whatever it is called now for months....
Android-Sync ( PRE-ALPHA )
Exchange is the best way. Microsoft is supposed to be adding Exchange/ActiveSync to Live accounts. Some accounts already have access. Bing it.
Until you are migrated try gsyncit. , I use gsyncit for my kid's accounts and it works rather well.
Sent from my HD2 via XDA App (mattc 1.5 build)
I have the configuration below and it seems to offer syncing of contacts, calendar, and mail. However, i have a large contact database and so uploaded it to GMail to sync instead. Still, I'll look at these recommendations to see if they will work better. Right now, USB isn't working in most HD2 builds so the point is moot...
I found Android-Sync works for me. Very basic interface, but it's free ...and it actually does the job!
Guys, I use "Android PC Suite v1.3.1.7" google it.
During install it installs USB drivers so connect is possible and working.
Prog on chinese but tapping on the left upper corner and choosing third line in menu you can switch to english.
Then - Managment-Contacts-Import from Outlook. That it.
It is already released to PC Suite For Android V1.5.8.98 and you can download update here or autoupdate the old one.
http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=1892
pcsuite_for_android_1.3.1.70 would not run correctly under 64bit Windows 7. After installation, launch the EXE and then Windows says that the program shut down. Then, a process attempts to download an update which then fails with a timeout error.
pc suite thing does not work for me. i used energy android
I've confirmed that PC Suite For Android V1.5.8.98 allows me to transfer my Outlook contacts from my PC directly to my phone. My phone is running the FroyoStone build.
I was not able to transfer calendar items in this manner as I received a message that said a calendar connector was not installed.
Please note that the transfer of contacts does not appear to be a sync. During an experiment, I transferred one contact from Outlook on my PC to my phone. Then, I modified the contact on my PC. Next, I re-transfered the contact from my PC to my phone. The software detected a conflict and then created a duplicate record on my phone.
I think however that this software is a great work-around for folks who need to transfer contacts from Outlook on their PC to their phone without having to use their Google account.
Thanks to arturw for this suggestion.
I am using Froyostone V1 and Exchange syncs perfectly over the air without adding any app or widget. Guess Sense adds this? Why would you need usb sync?

Go Android PC Suite
This is a fantastic application if you can handle the bad translations into English and the odd Chinese character. Does everything I need including Syncing APK's etc etc.
I am running [RE-BUILD][23.08.2010][mattc Leo+Froyo w/Sense 1.5b] w/1GB Data+Led+OC by Caedanne. It has been working like a treat.
Now with Android PC Suite I will shortly be able to tweak the phone and post my first Android Home Screen.
I am a convert
I set up my WM ROM with MS exchange and it imported the settings across when I booted up Haret. Therefore my Android is always up to date with the server list of contacts, calendar appts and email. It does however mean running MS Exchange which is not everyone's cup of tea.

I install HTC Sync 3.0 for Desire and it's working perfectly. But only sync calendar and contacts from my outlook. Is possible in the future to sync everything? Like notes, tasks and mainly mails. I don't use exchange or gmail - only download via POP3 emails to PC and synchronize with my HD2 and NTB.
It's only one thing, why I haven't used Android yet.
Thanx for reply
Does your email support IMAP? If so, I'd use that instead of POP. Setup that email accounts as IMAP on both the phone and desktop. The server keeps them in sync. It works similar to Exchange.
I know, but it doesn't solve problem with 1Gb emails in my Outlook. I don't like IMAP, because it's quite slow, when you have to transfer a big number of email.
I now many possibilities how to solve this problem, but I don't want to change anything, just sync. thx
He can u post the Link to the HTC Sync tool.

Hi,
I believe there is no direct syncronization Outlook <-> Android phone.
But, there is an alternative.
It is not free - $14.
The name is gsyncit.
It is a windows application. When you press synchronize it synchronizes all your contatcs, calendar evetns and tasks with the google account.
And when you synchronize the phone with the googel account - it gets syncronized.
Also if you change anything in the phone or in the google account you get it changed in Outlook.
BTW even if you upload a picture of a contact in the google account it will put the picture in Outlook.
I got two licenses- one for me and one for my wife

Yeah, Touchdown works fine but HTC mail (built in ActiveSync) blends the calendar and contacts into Sense so well... just have to wait I suppose...

Have you tried to send an email? (It look like it sends but doesn't actually go anywhere)
Have you tried to open any attachments?
Damn. You are right. Can't send mail. So still no fix?!
So i have a work-around after reading the above and other forums.
i turned off "Exchange" sync in my phone for email – left it on for calendar as i like the HTC calendar widget.
Then installed this stock email APK
http://denness.net/Email.apk
Then set it up to sync JUST email..
Then changed the "Mail" (HTC) icon on my home sceren to the "Email" (Stock android) icon.
Now all works well.
The HTC mail app is a BIT nicer – but not by much. The stock app is pretty good too.
So until HTC release an OTA update for this problem (like they have for HTC Desire HD), the above is a reasonably good work-around.
Wonder if we should contact HTC to tell them? Or will they issue an update soon enough?
When using the HTC app, the EAS version reported by webmail is 14.
When using the stock android app, the EAS version is 12.

I've just set up an IMAP account for the time being...
might drop HTC an email today if I get bored @ work - can't hurt.
Can you set up an Exchange account as IMAP? What do you "lose" this way?
I guess it won't fix the issue of not browsing the corporate address book right?

You just need IMAP enabled on the server.
Of course this only does mail, but you can still sync your contacts/calendar with activesync(just not the mail).
You can't seem to update contacts on the phone either (but I can live with that until they fix it).
Calendar syncs both ways ok (from what I can see).
and unfortunately no, you can't browse the corporate address book...

Seems strange that HTC issued an update to the HTC Desire HD OTA to fix this (they changed the version of ActiveSync (AES) from 14 back to 12).. but not yet for the Desire Z??

I dropped HTC a support request through their web page yesterday, referring to the Desire HD fix etc. Haven't heard anything back yet (not holding my breath).
Suggest you do the same - the more people complaining, the more likely they are to fix it...
I've also done the same.. let's see what happens!
Desire Z in combination with Exchange 2010 OWA EAS Policy
We have the same issue here at my work.
We ordered 45 HTC Desire Z phones, and me and my colleagues are one of the lucky ones to get a new business phone
We have a Microsoft Exchange 2010 Mailserver with ActiveSync OWA email services enabled. We make use of the Activesync EAS Policy (EAS14?) that enables Remote Wipe, requires user to set a system pin (simple pin) and uses phone encryption.
Now on all other HTC phones (HD2, Desire standard, Touch Pro 2) we have no problems using this phone and exchange 2010 with policy combination.
The HTC Desire Z has some other Email client that cannot handle this Policy..
Tuesday i contacted HTC Benelux (NL) but the problem was not yet known there.. i believe the combination of the Desire Z with Exchange 2010 and a EAS policy is quite unique, so worldwide there are not a lot of users that have problems i think..
HTC is still investigating on my Incident, and they are now using a test account on my Exchange OWA. I really hope they bring out a fix soon.. i'm not about to change my Policy settings, and licensing 45 phones with Nitrodesk Touchdown is not really part of the plan..
Good that HTC are investigating. You should mention to them that the HTC Desire HD had identical problems and HTC issued an over-the-air (OTA) update that fixed it - by changing the EAS policy back to version 12..
PLease keep us informed!!
