HTCSync..

Hi all Desire owners,
Can you tell me which version of HTCSync the Desire ships with?
Is it 2.0.25? I heard a rumour that it was 2.0.28?
Thanks!

can anyone tell me how well this syncs with outlook ?
as someone coming from a winmo / activesync background i'm used to everything (calendar / contacts / notes) syncing as items in outlook are updated ...

I believe it doesn't sync tasks but I may be wrong.

Yes, it will sync with outlook.

It will sync with Outlook but only contacts and calendar, NO tasks.
I also had a problem getting it to sync with Office 2010 x64 version, but it works well with Office 2010 x86 verion.

How would one snyc his outlook tasks if it isn't supported by htc sync?

I find Outlook to be premitive with it's notes so I started using EverNote ...

I think this is one area where the Android is let down, full syncing capabilities. from the various syncing apps that I've seen, none yet seem to perform as well as MS ActiveSync.

i couldn't agree more. i started to use evernote as a workaround until i found that you can't edit noted on the device if they were created on my pc ? that makes the app completely useless to me.
perhaps evernote will update their app as i was hoping that it would replace the reliable but poor outlook notes app and one note. my search goes on ...

[Q] Android outlook sync

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.
I'm not able to download via HTC site.
Or is the HD2 serial working for Desire HTC Sync Download ?

Hi, can you tell me exactly which version of android you have installed? One week ago I test HTC sync 3.0, but program does not recognize shubCRAFT_v1.3 which is Froyo 2.2 from Nexus One

To my knowledge, HTC Sync is for HTC Desire, not supports Google Nexus One.

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

Countryman,
You need to choose you weapons: no Sense, no HTC Sync...
Other solution is to use Android Sync (http://www.android-sync.com/) but I found it less nice than HTC Sync.

Martasdx, I have the exactly same problem. Without a simple sync of my e-mails in Outlook (notebook) with Android I will keep my new Moto XT720 (excelent camera) packed and using my trusty HD2 daily and having sync with Active Sync...

check this out: Mobisynapse
It also comes with a free android app: mOffice - Outlook sync to pair with Mobisynapse desktop manager for Outlook sync

Transfer phone contact numbers to DHD

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.

[Q] Android (CM7) & Outlook - Can we sync?

Howdy!
I'm currently running the roms in my sig. I'm absolutely loving the americandroid (even though I'm not american! ), but I have a problem.
My previous android installation used HTC Sense and HTC Sync. This build doesn't have those, thus I can't sync my phone with my outlook.
I've exported from outlook and imported to Gmail, but it's very inconvenient having to do that every time something changes.
Is there a way to automatically sync my phone with outlook when cradled? If not, perhaps to autosync outlook to google? I've been looking for this for weeks, but haven't yet found a permanent solution. Please suggest!
Thanks in advance!

Just to make sure, you want to sync outlook as a stand alone client or is it apart of an Exchange combination?
In 'accounts & sync' there should be 'corperate email', just follow the input screens & you should have it on your mobile - I currently have it setup to sync email, calendar, and contacts.
If it's the later option you can use Google Sync I believe

I don't think you can use HTC Sync with a CMX, only works with the ones which are based on the HTC roms which had sense or something.

I'm not using any exchange servers because I wouldn't know how to. It's all local. Exchange would be might convenient, though I bet it's a pain to set up.

Yes, that's the PC client, but your phone needs to support it, which needs HTC Sense & Sync.

Do you mean that if I install that application, it will sync whatever I do in Outlook with my gmail account? I don't think it does, but if that's it, it'd work indeed!

my bad, only does calendar, when I'm at work I'll try find a different solution.

Use MyPhone Explorer. It can sync via USB or WLAN. Install the actual version via market on the phone and install it on Pc. It's better than HTC Sync, because you can filter items and choose a different contact/calender folder.

HD2 Gingerbread vs HTC Sync

Hi,
I am not sure if someone else asked this question. I updated my phone to Nand Gingerbread. Everything works great. However, the major problem I am having is that HTC Sync (on Win7 laptop) does not recognize the device.
In the previous Android (2.2), when we used to connect it to the PC, many options would appear to identify the type of the connection. One of those options was "HTC Sync". Choosing this option used to allow HTC Sync software on the windows pc to recognize the device and sync its contents.
However, in Gingerbread I cannot find anyway to connect my HD2 in a "sync" mode in order to allow HTC Sync to recognize it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

htc sync requires htc sense.

Had the exact same problem when i was trying out a Gingerbread rom, and thanks to Tann he told me about a program called MyPhoneExplorer
It works with your dilema and you'll be back to syncing:

And its Free too, cant get any better then that

ooo good find, i looked high and low for an outlook sync solution, cant believe i missed this.
it also seems to include the adb usb drivers, so perhaps this could be installed instead of the whole android sdk for the adb drivers....

Thank you so much. This application seems very useful.
Anyways, my problem is that before I flash my HD2 to Gingerbread, I had Froyo Sense, and I synchronized all my contacts to HTC Sync on my PC, and now after I flashed I found that I cannot get those contacts back...
So I guess my only solution is to flash back to Froyo Sense, get those contacts, sync them using MyPhoneExplorer, and then Flash again to Gingerbread.
Thanks for the help everybody.

HTC Sync uses outlook, you need to look in the setting in the app, you can re-sync your outlook contacts with this program. Thats what its meant for also.

You have to install the tool on your win7 from here.
After that install My Phone Explorer Client from the Market. Connect your phone via WLAN or USB and start the Client on the phone. After that start the app from your win7 and set up your sync source (Outlook/Windows Contacts/Gmail/only MyPhoneExplorer) in settings or via new phone assistent.
You can now sync Contacts/Appointments/SMS/Files/Tasks and Notes (new with separate phone app).
It's the first sync solution where you can sync outlook tasks and notes, I love the tool.
