Under settings when I click Accounts and sync I am prompted with all the accounts I can sync. Facebook, Tmobile, Picasa, GOOGLE etc. Under the google one one of the sync options is MUSIC. In addition to contacts, calendar, etc etc. What is this music sync for? What app?
I had the same option until I uninstalled the honeycomb music player. I never tried to use it.
My research suggest, that this will be part of google's ability to stream music from the cloud. part of the stream media project/google music

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.
The built-in SNS functionality has support for Twitter & Facebook (as well as myspace), but neither can update the actual sites or do much more than sync contacts.
If I install the official Twitter/Facebook apps, then I get another 2 account options, which can also sync contact info.
Any preference over which one is better to use for syncing contact/calendar info?
The SNS service seems to be running all the time even if the built-in SNS accounts are removed.
I am using the official twitter app and facebook app, and am syncing contacts with them.
The advantage of these apps i find over the default ones, is they are apps and have proper widgets, which gives you acces to you account. Here i can view photos, profile pages, search, view notifications, etc etc.
The default ones, i managed to get into feeds only as widgets. When i click a feed item, i can only see that specific feeds comments, like it or make a comment on it.
Hi there,
this is my first android device. I've noticed in the settings, under "Accounts", you can activate "Sync" for various Apps, for example WhatsApp, Facebook, and all the Google services (Google Drive, Gmail, Photos, ...)
I don't really understand what this does. For example i can activate to "sync" my WhatsApp contacts, and then it does that every couple of minutes, but what does this even do? Or what does it do when i sync Facebook?
Does anyone know that?
Examples:
Contacts keeps your contacts on your phone up to date with your google contacts if you were to check them via a web browser.

Gmail would always pull down the latest emails and give you a notification when you get a new email
Just look up the definition of Synchronization

This.
Sync makes your phone periodically match it's data for certain services- Facebook, contacts, calendar, pictures, etc. - to the database for that service. Its name implies exactly what it is.
Sync takes data from your phone and sends it to your online accounts like facebook and if you change data on facebook it will update the data on your phone to match your online account.

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
