I just got a new Android phone, how to transfer the contacts, messages, photos, videos, music, applicaitons , etc to my new HTC Desire?
any software for sync with PC?
Contacts you just add them to your gmail account & they'll automatically sync.
Everything else, you pretty much drag & drop and you're good to go.

I thought it would be a great idea to sync my work outlook account with Google calendar via Google sync on the desktop.
I synced my outlook to Google calendar just find until I realized that there is no option to select a sub calendar so it synced thousands of events from my outlook to my primary calendar in Google.
Since my Google calendar account is also synced with my phone, my phone now has thousands of events with out the ability to toggle them getting my personal and work calenders all in one.
I went into Google via web, and deleted ALL events and wiped everything clean. I wanted my phone to also be clean. When I synced my phone the changes did not reflect what I did on the web.
I forced synced for the past 8 hours, and turned the phone off twice since then.
I found that it is syncing but not removing the old events. I change the calendar name in the web and it also changes it on my phone. But it never removes all those thousands of events off my phone.
Another test revealed that if I add an event on my phone, it will sync to the web.
If I add an event it will sync to my phone.
If I delete an event on my phone, it will delete it off the web.
Here is the issue, if I delete an event off the web, it does not delete it off my phone.
How can I remove these thousands of entries on my phone now?
I cannot remove my Google account and re-sync because when I tried it said my only option is to factory reset which I prefer not to do.
Thanks.
Try to change your google account password on web. When your phone won't sync then remove that account and add a new account but you can still use the same account name. I hope I make sense.

I have outlook installed on my PC (no exchange server) and I would like to sync the calendar with my Nexus 7.
I want to do this via USB or WiFi.
I don't want to use Gmail or any other third party calendar.
I don't want to sync via the web.
I can do this with my Galaxy S2, is it possible with the Nexus?
I have looked at Jorte, but it looks like it syncs via the cloud.
I have looked at Android Sync Manager, but although the PC and Nexus can commmunicate with each other they won't sync. I'm not sure how to tell the PC to sync with a calendar on the Nexus, or get the Nexus to sync with Outlook.
I have looked at Touch Calendar, but it looks like it will only use the google calendar.
thanks
I use MyPhoneExplorer (have been since Gingerbread broke syncing on my previous Desire Z). It is, however, not perfect, and while the calendar side is fine I do occasionally find duplication in the contacts on my phone, resulting in me having to mass delete them and then resync twice (first time cancelling so it does not delete them on Outlook itself).
i set up syncing our exchange server. back in the days with my htc sensation it synced only my private contacts. the s4 synced all public contacts. now i have like 8000 contacts on my phone. how to get rid of them and sync only my private contacts of the exchange server?
it seems like, it is only possible to sync all folders.

i tried to use the workaround, but the whatsapp sync already used all phone numbers, so i also have like 1000 new whatsapp contacts, i even never seen in my life....
the next problem is, the contacts may be hidden, but if you try to find a contact in the phone app, the hidden contacts by groups won't be hidden and it's nearly impossible to find a contact very fast.
that "feature" is really disappointing. i also don't know what to do now? should i start deleting contacts? i'm affraid the sync will delete them in our exchange server. but how to delete them only in whatsapp?
my solution:
- stop sync with exchange
- clear whatsapp data / cache
- delete all exchange contacts with kies
- send all contacts from my old htc phone to the s4

I had the same frustration when I first came to android. I have found that these three apps work best for me. I like these because you set them up once and everything stays in sync automatically.
For syncing music on PC:
- iSyncr (from Play Store): This lets you sync your itunes library with your phone.
For syncing pics, videos on PC:
- Picasa (runs on PC) The Picasa app syncs pics and videos on your PC with your Picasa account, which syncs automatically with your phone.
For contacts/calendar/tasks in Outlook
- gSyncit (runs on PC): This syncs your Outlook contacts/calendar/tasks to your gmail account, which syncs contacts/calendar/tasks automatically with your phone.
I have found this works so well, that now I use Picasa and gSyncit for syncing photos, video, and Outlook with my ipad (instead of iTunes).
Why don't you just copy and paste whatever you need from PC to your phone?

1. That would not keep things in sync (I think OP was asking about syncing). e.g., if I make a change to my Outlook calendar and a different change to my phone calendar, I want both to reflect both changes.
2. Copying and pasting every time I change something would be more work.
For the calendar you should be able to sync to Google calendar. Then as long as you use the same calendar what you put in on your phone is on your computer the next second.

Contacts sync can be done tru google account also I think it goes same for pictures and calendar. Music and videos I just use external card to copy any new in to it. I also had 3 iPhones and I never make iTunes to work on my PC. I never try but Kies could do a trick too.

Is there a way to sync Facebook photos to phone contacts? My Windows Phones would automatically link my phone contacts to Facebook contacts and apply the profile pics. I've tried a few apps from the Play Store that are supposed to do that but none have worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to do it manually for each contact.
I use Sync.me, it works fine : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp
