HTC Calendar

Hi,
I'm currently impatiently awaiting the arrival of my HD2 from expansys. I'm just wondering about the calendar functionality. I've heard from a few places an HTC program is used instead of the default WinMo version. Is this capable of handling multiple google calendars? My wife and I like to share calendars to keep up on what's happening as life gets quite busy and this function on iPhone is very useful...
Thanks
David
Hi there,
The calendar is an interface for the built in ms app. It should not support google calendar at all.
However, my wife and i use exchange for that. Actually shared calendar was the reason she wanted exchange.
Hi Sproxy,
I thought the problem was with the activesync program in WinMo that stopped syncing multiple google calendars. I thought that because on the iPhone you can sync multiple google calendars through using the Exchange protocol but on WinMo you are limited to one calendar...
Does anyone know how you can get it working or if this might be a future feature?

if you can sync one google calendar, it would be enough because you just have to sync one calendar, which is your own. Your wife calendar events can be added under "add friends calendar" in google calendar.

I don't think thats quite what the original post was getting at.
With ActiveSync, you can sync a calendar, this will bring the main google calendar from your account, ie yours. It doesn't support multi calendars from google.
There is a program out there called OggSync http://oggsync.com/ which reports that it does support all calendars for WinMo.
I've not had chance to try it myself, but will be doing when my HD2 arrives.
1) It is possible to sync two Exchange Servers with your PPC. See http://tinyurl.com/yhuq7ap
Shortcut:
Change the registry key
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination]
from (DWORD) 0 to (DWORD) 1
Use a registry editor like Pocket TotalCommander to edit the key.
2) Google offers to sync your calendar, contacts and mail via the ActiveSync Protocol. See http://tinyurl.com/dc4kq9
Shortcut:
Server: m.google.com (use SSL)
Username: [email protected] (with the @gmail.com / @googlemail.com part!)

I've never tested the solution I provide here, but this should theoretically work.
If you test it, some (including me) might be interested to hear your experiences.

Hi guys, nicelad_uk got more to what my intention was. I have looked and tested with the emulator and found that it's impossible to sync more than one google calendar through exchange. I was wondering whether if HTC had actually rewritten the calendar app and it would therefore support multiple google calendars.
I have tried the OggSync application with outlook and will try it out again when i get my HD2. My only problem is I didn't like that you couldn't add to other calendars (not your main calendar) from without outlook and I just wonder if it will be possible to do so from WinMo...
I really hope Microsoft sort out this stupid problem sometime soon it really is quite frustrating!
Thanks for the help,
David

It doesn't work. Or at least it didn't work for me when I tried. Reading the suggestions about this workaround carefully I came to the conclusion that it might work with ActiveSync connection to PC, but not Exchange over the air.

The bad news is that it's not a bug and therefore won't be fixed. It's by design and considered to be a "security" feature. This way your company thinks that their stuff won't end up somewhere on Google. I know it's stupid (and wrong), but I don't make decisions here.
BTW, it works the same on the iPhone and Android - only one Exchange connection allowed.
What we really need is native support for IMAP Idle really - there's no need whatsoever to use Exchange for personal mail.
Hi, I lookong for some solution (plugin) for Windows mobile 6,1 calendar to switch off or on the phone and another network services and the ringing profiles depending on calendar timepoints. I did not found solution for this problem, otherworlds I would like to integrate some scheduler to the calendar. Is it possible?

Sync with Outlook?

Not sure if this is the correct part of Forum.
what is the most reliable way to sync outlook with android phone?
I know that you can sync outlook with google calendar, and then android, but that is no ideal, i don't want to sync it google online service.
I also found an app that sync from outlook to some weird office app on andorid, and the date still is not visible though native android apps.
Checks if this helps you!

[Q] GTab sync with Exchange 2003 cannot sync calendar

Have an issue with my current GTab sync with Exchange 2003
Tried doing this twice already and still no solution yet (i tried searching around but no forums have give me a proper solution as well).
Issue is like this:
1. Setup email, contact and calendar sync with Exchange 2003
2. emails are coming through fine .. no problems here
3. Contacts only 300 ++ contacts came in out of 900++
4. Calendar appointments not synced at all
Anyone encountered this problem?
I just set up my tab from Sprint and it synced fine with my exchange 2003 server.
Maybe reset your device and try again?
Me too. Make sure yiu go into calendar and then tell it how many days you want to sync.

Weird ... Mine just refuse to work... As a workaround ... I'm using touchdown to sync my calendar and contacts....
Very strange...

It's a setting on the Exchange server that's causing it, though I can't recall what it is. Co-worker had the same problem with his Nexus One.
Even though Touchdown costs money, it's a much better solution for Exchange 2003 users IMO.
For me, the ability to have tasks, email and my calendar in one place is worth it. I just moved to the Tab from an iPhone4 and not having to screw with Toodledo sync and a third party task app is a godsend!
The only thing I miss is not having projects, but I'll just use categories for that
Oh, and in case anyone asks, I just used the iPhone as an always connected PDA. I barely used the voice capabilities. That was easy to replace with Skype

I faced the same problem. Calendar doesn't sync with DDJK3 firmware in India.
I flashed XXJM6 Europe firmware from www.samfirmware.com and everything started working fine. Looks like JK series has some issues, JM fixed it looks like
Mail, Calender n contacts all are syncing well.

[Q] sync exchange calendar problems

hi,
i have a HTC HD2 and try to make a change to Android.
Important for me is that the sync to my exchange account is ok.
I tried several Android SD versions.
(Current: Android 4.1.1 JBSourcery Build)
The sync of the emails and contact is fine.(As far i can see)
But the sync of the calendar is weird.
The "normal" appointments seems to be a ok,
but somtimes birthdays are:
- not in the calendar (the contact is there and the right birthday in it)
- begin at the wrong time (i changed the time in the calendar (exchange) to 8:00 till 23:59)
Depending from the Android version it is better or worse.
And the error is on different contacts and changes with the Android version.
Any idea what causes the problem?
suggestion for a stable Android SD version?
what are the requirements on the HD2? (radio etc.)
Any infos you need?
kind regards

Hi,
i tried some tools.
In the moment acalendar is the only tool that shows all data in a correct status.
So it seems to be a problem between our exchange server and the basic calendar software.
Thanks anyway.

[Q] Exchange Sync - Contacts & Calendar

I am running the GPE 5.0.1 ROM by @Danvdh and I'm having a problem syncing to my new work email account. I haven't had exchange on this phone before so I don't know if its a problem, or just not possible. In my searches it looks like I might need a few different apps, but that's why I here asking.
I have installed "Bluemail" and added my MS Exchange account info. Email syncs fine, but I'm trying to get my contacts (google) to sync with my work email, along with my calendar. The rom doesn't have a calendar installed by default so I installed "Business Calendar", but I'm not married to it at all, and am more than willing to switch to get it to sync. I also tried "Nine" email app but it doesn't seem to be syncing contacts TO Exchange, (maybe just from it?) And I don't know where its trying to sync the calendar to, but it doesn't appear to be working either. I hope this is all possible because on my old work phone (iPhone) everything would sync up easily and I really don't want to go to an iPhone.
