Hi
Personally I don't like the HTC Calendar.
I would much rather use the normal Google Android version but a) I cannot find it anywhere on my phone b) I cannot find it to download separately.
There is however a widget for it on my phone but clicking on the widget takes me into the HTC skinned calendar.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Don

Hi Guys,
Its my first step in Android world. I have been using Windows Mobile since last 5 years (Currently HTC tytn II). I am very impressed with HTC Hero promos and customization. But before I move to Android world and buy this phone, it would be very helpful if any of you can provide answers to my following queries. Apologies, as it may be very basic questions for you but these functionalities very necessary for me as I use almost every day in my Windows phone.
Question for Android (HTC Hero)-
1. Can I sync Outlook address and calendar Android (HTC Hero)?
2. Can I open/edit word, excel and power point presentations? (If yes then does it come by default with phone like I got it with my HTC tytnII)
3. I need navigation software. (I saw one is available here http://www.alk.eu.com/. is there any other for Android like i use TomTom in my phone).
4. Any email client where i can configure Pop3, Imap or company microsoft exchange server.
5. Voice chat messengers (like i use fring(www.fring.com) for my windows phone)
Thanks in advance.

Hello there
Welcome to Android world. I don't know so much about android till now. But if you search the forum you can get all your question answered. I'm trying to help you from my little knowledge.
1. You can sync your contacts and their information from outlook.
2. HTC Hero has Quickoffice. So, I think you should be able to open/edit word, excell or powerpoint docs.
3. You can use AndNav2 for your navigation. The software is free in the Market.
4. Yes, you can configure your e-mail clients.
5. I haven't got any voice messaging service till now for android.
Hope these helps. If you have any other questions first try to search the forum .
Thanks.
there are tons of free IM apps out there.
1) Meebo (the best one)
2) eBuddy
3) IM+ (not free)
4) HelloYm, HelloAim, HelloMSN
5) IM app (built in android)
pda_crazy, as you have a HTC Tytn II, have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782 and try Android for yourself. The latest build for Kaiser/Tytn II is from the Google Ion (HTC Magic) rather than the Hero, so the Sense UI is not present. Also, wi-fi, camera and bluetooth are not working, but GPS, Android Market and Google sync are. It may require some tweaking to get the best experience on the Tytn II as different versions of the phone seem to have particular issues with calls and/or data but I am running it on my UK Kaiser (MDA Vario III) at the moment and have calls, sms, sync, Android Market and GPS working fine. Battery life is a bit of an issue, but if you can get it working it will give you a chance to download and try out a variety of Android applications before paying for an Android phone.
not so simple
I have a hero. The quick office can only open word docs, have trouble with excel . It will not edit. You can sync outlook contacts and calendar . I could make a gmail account on it but not yahoo so far. Still looking for a good explorer software in which I can keep stuff where I want. Any suggestions ?

DocumentsToGo is pretty much the only app for editing doc and xls on android. If you want a file explorer both 'Astro' and 'Linda File Manager' are good.
HTC sync VS active sync

Hi there!
As I'm currently a Windows mobile user about to take the step over to Hero I just want to make sure that I can use my Hero at work as well.
Today I sync my work contacts and work calendar with outlook using active sync.
When syncing I don't have to enter any information at all, the sync sets up automatically. Does HTC sync work in the same way!?
Do you have to set up the HTC sync by entering server names and stuff like that, or is it just like active sync that everything is automatical!?
All answers are apreciated!

I am so lazy, i ask here, so i did not start new thread.
Few days still and i get Dream again.
The ROM in it si some Hero thing. Isn´t that mean Dream is rooted and HardSpl in it? I can go and put Cyanogens ROM in it? If i understand it right, you can´t put any other ROM in unless you first put HSpl and root?
Sorry my bad english, hope someone catch what i mean...
Edit: Root and HardSpl ok, so now Cyan and works great...
Hi there,
I am thinking of buying the Inesoft Calendar application as I like the different views it gives me and the task list integration. Does anyone know any other alternatives?
Also, can someone post screen shots of the new calendar screens from 6.5.3? I've seen the monthly view (same as 6.5) and the annual view - is there anything else?

Look up Calender Touch, it pretty much kicks AS#
Thanks.
One of things I like about the inesoft product, is that it also shows Google calendar entries, WITHOUT zyncing them to my Outlook calendar. Any other options for this?

I just re-installed ThumbCal that i bought for my kaiser a long while back, it pretty much rocks on the TP2, and you can set it as the default calendar and tasks app, i sync all my calendars entries with Google over push which works fine..great app with a good Agenda view which i like alot.

Edit: i'm just trying out the Inesoft and so far i'm pretty impressed!!
Pocket Informant
Not sure how many options and stuff you need but this is hard to beat.

They offer 30 day free trial, probably take 30 days to play with all of the options it has.
Hi,
Currently I have Energy ROM installed. It has the basic facebook application. How can I install the latest facebook application from microsoft so that it replaces what I have now. Also, I need the MS facebook application to be in the home slider tab.
I downloaded mine from the MS marketplace and it installed over what I have for the home slider app there is a cab floating around the forum just search for it.
Searching. Not able to find it. Can anybody give the link?
Can anybody help me?
Try here
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx
Click here for the facebook cab...
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=microsoft+facebook+cab
and here for the tabs...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCA5uYNwCj0 8:42 into the video
If you get double facebook icons you can always delete one of the icons with total commander.
After install, it didnt change the facebook application on the slider.
Did you change it yourself like it shows in the video?
Facebook from microsoft is different from the facebook shown in the manila(sense).
manila version comes with the minimal functionality and UI. if you click on something it will try to open the Facebook on your default browser.
All I want to do is to change the facebook in manila with the microsoft facebook
Same...
I have Enery Titanium installed... when i download the .cab file, instead of using the app like it did on shipped rom, it opens facebook in opera. I would like to use the new facebook app that microsoft put out.
Having upgraded from an older HTC that ran the same version of windows software I was disappointed to find that when adding a new calendar entry that the categories are not updated in line with the ones on the PC it was synced with. You cant even add new categories on the phone which would have at least helped.
Has anyone found a way round this..?
Anyone....?
I found that if you use the calendar option under Outlook then the have the categories as before. It's only if you use the link from the front screen that your options are limited.
Rom: Miui
Apps at issue: Lotus Notes,Lotus Look Up and Lotus Calender Icons do not show up.
All other non market apps show except for my Lotus Applications. The applications are there, I recieve notifications and can open the programs through the notifcations once I have recieved emails and existing calender entries but the application icon does not show up.
These applications allow me to access my corporate email,calender and employee directory ( sorry if you know what it is, most people wont be familiar with these ).
I really like Miui so far but this is a deal breaker as I need fluid access to these programs on my phone.
Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
