Hmm... Mobile Network sharing function...

I wonder if maybe this will allow me to root my ARIA? the 2.0.38 or however they show the version numbers had not been seeing my phone no matter what I tried.

I was thinking the same thing as i refuse to register my device just to download sync software, it was not like this when i downloaded HTC_Sync_2.0.38 a few weeks ago, and i can download HTC_Sync_2.0.40 without registering a serial easily and use it with no issues, matter a fact i was using HTC_Sync_2.0.40 to sync my outlook and calender even before HTC_Sync_2.0.38 was released so why make us register the device?

Here ya go - http://gruberphotos.com/download/

used it to get swype on stock non rooted aria, little slow but worked just fine.

Ok, after using this new version i must say that its a step backwards. I like the new GUI and all the eye candy and the ability to install .APK files but it lacks the basic functionality that the HTC_Sync_2.0.38 had.
For instance the old version told you at a glance the number of contacts in outlook and events on the outlook calender, where it is at during the contact syncing and calender syncing. It also gave you more advanced options on syncing.
On this new version Outlook must be set as you default mail client for it to connect with it which is completely bogus. On first connect the device synced on it own using the latest modified data which created duplicated in outlook and my phone, deleted the duplicates from my phone and tried to sync again and it completely wiped the data from outlook, i used the nandroid to restore the contacts to the phone and tried to sync again to get everything back where it was.
A bit angry with the music syncing. The files sync to /Music/ then the full file directory. so if you music is stored in c/:users/username/my documents/music you media wll be synced in the same structure /Music/c/users/username/my documents/music which is more complex than it needs to be. A simple music folder with music/Artist/album is sufficient. Then it took 1 hour to sync 3.8GB of music, that same 3.8 GB takes less than 15 if i remove the card from the device and put in in the card reader.
Long story shorty, im reverting back to HTC_Sync_2.0.40. Sometimes less is more.
Funny that now the new sync is no longer availble on HTC site and the link was changed back to HTC_Sync_2.0.38

Hmmm...
You probably want to get on the ball with finding this software as it really has been pulled from the site. Some people have upped the new version for download, so do a search, grab it while its hot and sit on it if you want to sideload with the software (without rooting).
Edit: You can grab it from this thread if you don't have it already

So the 3rd party app works.. but what about the network sharing thing?

I downloaded this one, the one from HTC's site (before it was removed) and even tried the old version (.38) and NONE of them recognize my phone when I plug it in and tell the phone to use HTC Sync. The phone tries to find it running on my PC but can't. Any ideas? I'm running Win7 64.

[Q] HTC Sync

hey everyone....I downloaded cmy's blacktopia rom for my HD2. I was wondering which version of HTC Sync i should be running on my computer in order for it to properly recognize the ROM on my phone? Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!!

What version pc do you have, windows version?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

i have windows 7

i was wondering , i am a windows mobile user with loads of stuff on MS Outlook 2007 and wish to migrate to Android?
i wish to migrate Calendar, Contacts and Tasks, if possible.. or does HTC sync does that for us?

HTC Sync should sync everything, but not sure that it will be able to find your HD2 using Android installed in SD...

HTC Sync does recognise the HD2 running Android. Mine shows up as a Desire as I'm running Desire based android.
Doesn't sync tasks tho.

You can export all your Outlook info as CSV, then go to your Gmail account and upload everything It will show up on your phone later.
Here's info on tasks:

It should let ya migrate from outlook to G-Calendar, then all the stuff will magicaly appear on your phone
Hope it helps!

Synching files via HTC Sync

Hi.
I have setup HTC Sync to sync a folder over to my DHD. However I found syncing files to be a bit quirky.
Docs created on the device are not synced to the PC, only the other way round.
Docs deleted on the device are not deleted on the PC, only the other way round. The doc that remains on the PC needs to be modified in order to sync back to the device - seems there is some sort of cache.
Is the above a bug of HTC Sync and is happening to other persons? Is to possible to get file synching as one would expect it to be, i.e. as I was accustomed through Activesync and Windows Mobile 6.5?
Thanks.

Bump...any feedback?

Is it possible that I am the only one to experience this issue? Any feedback from other users and possibly also help?

I'm beginning to think that I am the only one to use and experience this.
OK, perhaps it's not a high priority but nevertheless quite an annoyance considering the thing worked perfectly for years in Windows Mobile and Activesync.

I'd advise you to try MyPhoneExplorer.

Thanks. I'll check that out. Do you know if MyPhoneExplorer offers two-way sync with the DHD?
Back to my original problem I have since received feedback from HTC Support. They are claiming that HTC Sync offers a choice on the sync direction, either to the PC or to the DHD. I was not offered this choice when I installed HTC Sync on the PC and neither when connecting the DHD to the PC for the first time. To be sure of this I installed HTC Sync on a second PC and connected the DHD to this second PC. Again, no choice was ever offered.
I have written back asking for proof of this sync choice offer and will post back here any feedback received. In any case I have told HTC Support that if indeed HTC Sync only offeres one-way sync then it is indeed only a half-baked solution.

I got the same problem.
Did you ever find a solution besides MyPhoneExplorer?

I'm still corresponding, sort of, with HTC. My support request was routed to HTC Italy who asked me to rewrite the request in Italian. Fortunately that was not a problem for me.
Since then there has been much to-and-fro between me and HTC with them asking me to do things that had nothing whatsoever to do with my problem. As an example they kept asking me questions as to the version of Outlook I have even though I am not syncing any contacts or calendar. They even asked me to if my problem was if I could not install HTC Sync, and another time said that one-way sync is all that HTC Sync was and during installation of the latter on the PC one is asked in which direction should the one-way sync work. All this is quite a load.
In my last communucation a couple of days ago I asked them for a clear explanation and solution, failing which I will escalae the matter through other HTC channels.
EDIT: I have not installed or tried to use MyPhoneExplorer. I expect the matter to be resolved by HTC and MyPhoneExplorer is only a last resort.

Thanks Leon.
It looks like they giving you the run around.
Keep me posted if you come right.
I will let you know if I find a solution.
thanks again

Yes, but then still no reason for HTC to look the other way and hope the problem, or I, disappear.

[Q] Definitive Sync solution?

It has been a while since i started using android on my HD2 (july 10) and a lot of beatiful things have happened thanx to the developers.
There is still one simple thing i cannot manage to solve :
SYNCING via USB tasks without paying
1) i don't want to send my appointments and task to a server in order to sync them, i like privacy
2) I don't like to pay , i prefer to donate...
Is there a valid solution out there?
I use Linux (at home-Evolution) and Windows (at work-outlook)
I need to sync Linux-Android-WM-Outlook and i prefer to do it by USB cable (or BT or Wi-Fi, but not via external server).
Please let me know which SW you use for contacts and appointments (I use Myphoneexplorer at the time, but any piece of advice is welcome) and, above all, if something to sync TASKS exists (GOATS could be an answer, but no widget...)
Hope this is the right place to post this...

Look at this. Syncroid might be what you are looking for. i´ve read about it but i haven´t android on my HD2(yet).
Test it an post your results

Only GOATS seems to work, but it does not have a widget, and this is annoying.
Thank you for the try.

oh jeah i see... hmm...
maybe this overview will help...

I already postet that on another Thread but i Think the best and free Tool to Sync in Two Ways ist Android-Sync.
Its still Pre Alpha but works realy good for me. U dont need to pay and dont need to install something on the phone. Its like Active Sync for Android

Not sure if I'm missing something here, but I'm using HTC Sync (for the Wildfire) to sync all my Outlook stuff (running on Windows 7) with my HD2 over USB.

For me this is working great.

Yes, that's correct.
I'm now using a Nexus (gingerbread) based rom and I cannot sync with HTC sync.
I'm also looking for a sync solution.

@PSH
Look at the link in my post before. There you have an overview over the different free & payed sync solutions. But i think at the moment there exist no "definitive" Sync Solution which covers all functions properly. So you have to decide which solution fits best to your whishes...

[Q] Android (CM7) & Outlook - Can we sync?

Howdy!
I'm currently running the roms in my sig. I'm absolutely loving the americandroid (even though I'm not american! ), but I have a problem.
My previous android installation used HTC Sense and HTC Sync. This build doesn't have those, thus I can't sync my phone with my outlook.
I've exported from outlook and imported to Gmail, but it's very inconvenient having to do that every time something changes.
Is there a way to automatically sync my phone with outlook when cradled? If not, perhaps to autosync outlook to google? I've been looking for this for weeks, but haven't yet found a permanent solution. Please suggest!
Thanks in advance!

Just to make sure, you want to sync outlook as a stand alone client or is it apart of an Exchange combination?
In 'accounts & sync' there should be 'corperate email', just follow the input screens & you should have it on your mobile - I currently have it setup to sync email, calendar, and contacts.
If it's the later option you can use Google Sync I believe

I don't think you can use HTC Sync with a CMX, only works with the ones which are based on the HTC roms which had sense or something.

I'm not using any exchange servers because I wouldn't know how to. It's all local. Exchange would be might convenient, though I bet it's a pain to set up.

Yes, that's the PC client, but your phone needs to support it, which needs HTC Sense & Sync.

Do you mean that if I install that application, it will sync whatever I do in Outlook with my gmail account? I don't think it does, but if that's it, it'd work indeed!

Use MyPhone Explorer. It can sync via USB or WLAN. Install the actual version via market on the phone and install it on Pc. It's better than HTC Sync, because you can filter items and choose a different contact/calender folder.
