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...
Following my eagerness to the young android OS,
I'm moving from Xperia X1 to my new X10 and i'm trying to move all data including contacts, calender, notes, etc..
I got a problem with MS outlook so i went to Sonyericsson suggestion about using Sonyericsson Sync
via: http://www.sonyericsson.com/user
But everytime i try to initiate the sync from old set to new set, i fail
I'd appreciate a simple guiding steps on how to use SE sync service so i can start enjoying my new android masterpiece
Thank you a bunch

Totally unfimiliar with symbian. But one thing that you can always do is to save all numbers in SIM card and use them from your x10. I don't know exactly how to save contacts in SIM for symbian, but I guess it will contact> select all> option> save them in SIM card.
Sorry that's I could do
Go to sonyericsson.com/wportal/uss/promotion?lc=en&cc=US ( you will have to register).
There you have specific instructions how to transfer contacts from your old phone...basically it will ask you to install the SE Sync profile on your Nokia ..then you sync ur stuff from the Nokia to the SE Website....& then do the reverse on you X10
Did the same for my Nokia E66 when I migrated over !!

But this will transfer only Contact. nothing will transfer messages
Another way is to sync your Nokia with Outlook through PC Suite
Export contacts from Outlook to CSV format
Import contacts on your Gmail account from this CSV file created in the previous step
From the X10 mobile go to setting ---> Data Synchronization --->Google Sync ----> Choose contacts
Hope the above steps will help you and please contact me if you need extra support (i still have the great E90 by the way).

Is it available on the market? And what about Root Explorer, isn't it for the same purpose?
I use this as well...its excellent

If you are using a Symbian-Phone from SE (f.e. P1i, M600i, W950i, W960i, G700, G900) please note: Its needed to install the PC-Suite first and the connection with MyPhoneExplorer is only possible throught USB-Cable.
There exists a few Low-Cost-Phones (f.e. T200i) which does not have a PC-Interface.

no its not a market app as such!
its a pc application to manage either your SE/SMART ANDROID phone with ... you run the pc app and connect via wifi/bluetooth/usb etc to your smartphone and can sync backup transfer files download files etc to your computer
if via android it can be done by the APK supplied thats in the installation folder of the pc application copy it to your Android and install it with a file manager like any other application ... once installed (for wifi) turn your wifi on and launch the app on your phone then launch the app on your pc and click connect
instructions are in the program and on the website/blog mentioned above
the easiest way is on you pc/laptop go to: http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ and download the version 1.8.1 and on your android go to the market and search for myphone explorer and install it.
if your using wifi just run the app on your phone first and you pc/laptop should find the client in your network
No plans to support Linux?

Hello, noob here!
Is their anyway to sync my HTC Tattoo with my Mac? I would like to do all the things HTC Sync for Pc does.
Sent from my HTC Tattoo using XDA App
I didn't find anything really good.
I tried qtadb.wordpress.com, it works but not as good as phone explorer.
Hi there, you can sync your Android HTC and Mac with SyncMate. It will sync contacts and calendars for free (just download and install SyncMate Free edition), Expert (paid) version offers more options - iTunes, iPhoto, folders, bookmarks sync, possibility to manage SMS on Mac and lots more.
HTH!
