[Q] Samsung Froyo & calendar sync - Android Software Development

I have developed a small app which adds events to the phones built-in calendar. It works fine with Froyo on Nexus One and with HTC Sense etc.
But the Samsung Froyo update seems to be different. The events are added, but not synced to the Google calendar. You have to edit the entered event manually, after that it will be synced.
I searched the forum and found similar issues from users, but no real solution.
Anybody out there who can give me a hint, what I have to change in my sourcecode to start syncing on Samsung again?
Regards,
bingi

Hd2 + active sync + google sync = ???

HI guys, I am using the google exchange server to sync my contacts to my HD2 via active sync. For some reason, when syncing my contacts to the HD2, if a contact has more than 1 telephone number it only syncs 1 number onto the hd2. So basically all my contacts with multiple numbers only have 1 number on the Hd2.
Has anyone else experienced this issue before or is there a workaround to this?
BTW: this is what im using: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
Cheers guys
google can only store calendar.
google sync supports calender, contacts, and email. i am totally confused as to why this is happening. am i the only one with this issue?
Yo Crapbag,
Funny enough I have just been doing some testing with this but on email sync.
I guess you will have to report it to Google as another possible glitch they have to sort out. Google sync is a beta product at the moment, so some way to go to get it finalised.
My gripe is that it won't sync any other email folders but the Inbox.
Sorry can't be of more help but there you go.
Cheers

Learn to read google documentation... For android they can store every thing for wm calendar only.
wrong again Strong
Google sync has been syncing calendar and contacts on windows mobile since it first came out, I used it to sync my contacts and calendar on my dash, I switched to android contacts and calendar entries were synced flawlessly.

I would advise you to read google documentation before making incorrect comments on this forum.
The best documentation you could read is http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299 which clearly states CONTACTS AND CALENDER.
I also hear specsavers optitions are offering free eye tests at the moment. Maybe this could be of use to you??

Yes, you should learn to read documentation properly.
I've found Google sync to be quite lacking..
Try using www.nuevasync.com instead, it works much better!

Could you clarify your statement please? When you say it works fine do ALL your email folders on your device get synced up or only the Inbox?
If all your mail folders, e.g. Sent, etc, are getting synced on your device can you share with us exactly how you are achieving this please?
Thanks

Hello,
This looks interesting. Do you want to share your experience of using this service please? Do ALL email folders get synced with the device or only the Inbox?
I also went on to read their T&C's; didn't quite like the sound of this statement under their dislaimer; "......NuevaSync does not warrant that (i) the Service will meet your specific requirements, (ii) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free"...,
It's the SECURE bit, or lack of guarantee about the service being secure, that's raised my eyebrows a little.
Look forward to your comments.
Thanks
WB

I love nuevasync so far! I've been using it for about a year now. But I only sync calendar and contacts with Google, I do not sync mail unfortunately. If you want to sync mail, you have to pay a tiny fee but it's very reasonable.
You should try going through their FAQ here: http://wiki.nuevasync.com/wiki/bin/view/Public/faq
If your questions about all email folders getting sycned in not in there, you can contact them and ask here: [email protected]

sync calendars form icalx.com with my HD2

Hello Guys!
First of all: Excuse my English, I'll try my best
Well, since yesterday I'm a proud owner of a HD2 and I'm slowly trying to get
everything fitted to my needs
I installed CHT, SecureW2 for WPA2-Enterpise access and so on, also my e-mail stuff works fine.
But I'm not able to find out if its possible to make my phone use my ical calendar file which I've stored on icalx.com.
This file is used by my laptop and desktop PC as well, but i do not really want to synchronize with Thunderbird Lightning all the time, I just want my HD2 to use the published file as well so that it is always up to date, so that i do not need to synchronize it every day.
Anyone knows if there a way to do that?
(I'm really sorry if I missed something similar using the search fuction, I only found problems related to syncing with thunderbird)
Oo falling off the first page goes pretty quick here!
Anyways...another question i have is: Is HTC Calender an application itself or is it just a graphical interface for the outlook calendar? I mean Outlook should be able to ready .ics or am I wrong here?
as theer are more users online now...I'll give it a last try.
Is there really nobody who has tried this before? I always had the impression that this is a common way to sync ones calendars

First of all: Your English is excellent!
And concerning your question: Have your read this thread? I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. Also, I found this, which looks promising as well.
EDIT: LOL - this is a featured article on the xda-developers front page today: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/icalendar-appointmentstasks-icalparse/ What a coincidence?
this is really LOL!
But thanks a lot, I'm already trying it out and despite a minor bug it seems to work quiet well!

Offline Sync with Outlook via Samsung PC Studio

Hey Guys,
I´m planning to buy a Galaxy S, but there is one question:
Is it possible to offline Sync with Outlook via Samsung PC Studio??
In my opinion this is a k.o.-criteria- syncing from outlook to gmail and then to the phone is imho a work around and no solution.
If it´s not possible I probably will stay with HTC and get a Desire and use HTC Sync.
Thank you for answers - Cheers!
First post for me ever, since 2008
As the online user guide suggests, it uses Samsung Kies, which do sync with Outlook in other phones like the wave, but wasn't mention specifically for the Galaxy S, although I think it would..
galaxys.samsungmobile.com/userguide/
Regards,
i have done a sync with samsung KIES.. however if u group your contacts, this field will not be shown on the phone itself.. u have to regroup yout contact into their respective catergories.. other that that it syncs pretty well.. heck it event sync my calendar perfectly
wow- this sounds great, groups are not that important for me! although Kies is a strange name for me. In German Kies means gravel/ grit/ shingle
thanks for your quick replies!

in dutch is't a molar strange name indeed
In fact, it can even stand for "money" in German - maybe because you have to dish out some to Samsung before you can make any use of this software?

[Q] Help Dear Elelinux. V2.3.4 only has Google Calendar

Sorry I couldnt reply to elelinux's original post of realsing the
[ROM]Elelinux-7.1.0-RC1-Hero-v3.0 Android 2.3.4 (2011-07-16)
as a newbee.
Like titled in this post, I've found at least three of us reporting the bug, could anyone including elelinux please help to figure this out? It seems already happended since a very old realse back to Feb this year...
an earlier one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932377&page=97
Hello,
I'm really happy with this Rom, thank you to all participating on it!
One issue I found:
I cannot create another calendar with the calendar App. I only have the Google-calendar which is synchronising fine with my Google-account, but I would like to have a second offline-one.
Any suggestions how to add another calendar?
(normally you do it in the calendar app with the dialogue "my calendars")
Cheers, Otze

Hello,
coming from Cronos 2.2.0.0 Sense Éclair, I am using this ROM for a few days now and I am very happy with it. The only problem I have so far is the calendar, the same like Otze in post 965. There is only the Google calendar but I need the local Android calendar. Is this a HTC Sense feature or am I doing something wrong?
Any hints are welcome.

So people just read and never reply...
resolved
Hi guys, it's really like this,
when you flashed the elelinux 2.3.4 ROM, by default the feature of auto sync is not automatically enabled(activitated?) after you setting up either gmail or corporate mail accounts. Before you enable, you can only find gmail calendar in any style of calendar or agenda application. Even when you click on the accounts and manually sync them will make no change. So to summar up, the only thing need to do, is to enable the auto sync feature at least one to let all of your calendar and agenda software aware that you have your own calendar besides Gmail calendar. And I dont know if this is a bug or not... Hope elelinux saw this post!
Glad you solve it!
By the way, if people didn't answer you, it's very likely they didn't know what was the issue..

[Q] A litle too annoyed about missing java on optimus 7

Guys! I have a litle (big for me) problem: I really miss a few java apps and I wanna know how the heck can I port those on my beloved optimus 7? This phone doesn't support java, but I believe that some apps can be ported! Can I find a tutorial about this??? I will atach a java file that I wanna put on my phone, maybe a kind gent developer may look at it and tell me at least if is possibile! Thanks in advance and please, don't let a poor noob to stay in the dark!
I'm sorry to disappoint you but there's no way you can run java on wp7. There is no java runtime in wp7.
The only thing that would be possible is to build the app from scratch in silverlight. It shouldn't be that had if you know some C# and you have the source code fro the desired java app. But i think building a sinaxar app it's pretty easy if using some specific web services or API. Maybe you should look into building your own simple app instead of porting the java one. You can find many tutorials on wp7 developing and it is easier than you might think.
PS: Have you searched for Orthodox Calendar on Marketplace?
PPS: I have an idea that might work: Search for an orthodox holiday calendar in ical format. You should be able to find some online. Download the ical and sync it with your exchange calendar. Then sync the exchange calendar with your phone. The calendar should be on your phone this way. So you don't need a sinaxar, because you have the orthodox holidays in your phones calendar. I think this should work with google calendar or msn calendar as well.
Orthodox calendar is more about russian and not romanian! Already tried it! I've syncronized my windows live calendar with an .ics one, but now I'm facing another trouble: yahoo mail account not working! Keep asking me for the correct password! Tried to delete it and create another one, but does not work. I've tried with advanced settings and on INCOMING mail had pop.mail.yahoo.com, tried again with imap.mail.yahoo.com, but nothing seems to work!

Hey,
I would recommend using google calendar or exchange (if you have one) for sync. Yahoo is known for issues, and Hotmail... i have no experience with that. But with the first two it works great.
Problem solved. Imap was the problem. Thanx a lot, but I still miss a lot at least a java emulator
