Direct-Sync between two WM devices

Hello,
I don´t know where to ask. Is there a program that can sync the contacts, tasks and calendar between two windows mobile devices directly over BT or Wlan? I don´t want use outlook.
I try the search, but can´t find anything.
Thanks in advance,
Timo

I havent heard of anything like that. would be cool though.
I am still trying to figure out if there is a sync over wifi.

PIM backup and beam?

We Might want to rip apart a moto Q9h rom. They can do it. Mine and My wifes work phones are synced every night to keep contacts and appointments together.

Wouldn't Microsoft's MyPhone work fine?
I've never tried it but if it is linked to an account and not device specific then bob's your uncle here guys.

Native (full-blown) ActiveSync on Android

When will Android have full-blown, native activesync support?
I understand that even the newest versions of android only support email sync at the moment, correct?

As far i know there will never ever be a native support between Active Sync and Android!
Active Sync is for Windows Mobile only.

Activesync was licensed by google ... they can use it in Android.

It's in eclair aka 2.0.

So then please explain how to use Active Sync with Android 2.0
Would be very interesting for me with the Droid which is running Eclair
But i think its still impossible until there is an app for it.

The Work Email App is an ActiveSync/Exchange mail client. So far as I know, there is nothing that connects to Activesync to do a desktop PC Outlook sync. Every solution goes directly to Exchange.
If you find anything that syncs with Outlook please let me know.

Really - full blown activesync with push sync of email, contacts, calendar, tasks, ... ?

No tasks, but yes for mail, contacs, and calendar on 2.x on HTC builds (like Hero) and Rogers 1.5 builds.

USB - Outloook

No, Touchdown is just another Exchange client.

TouchDown is pretty kick-ass in its own right.

I didn't mean to say it wasn't. It's just not what I'm looking for.

My experience with TouchDown (and the reason it's not the best solution for my needs), is that it doesn't integrate transparently with the rest of the O/S. Android 2.0 strikes a nice balance between transparency and power because you can do things like add a contact, then select which service to associate it with, but it still shows in your contacts list all the same.

HTCSync..

Hi all Desire owners,
Can you tell me which version of HTCSync the Desire ships with?
Is it 2.0.25? I heard a rumour that it was 2.0.28?
Thanks!

can anyone tell me how well this syncs with outlook ?
as someone coming from a winmo / activesync background i'm used to everything (calendar / contacts / notes) syncing as items in outlook are updated ...

I believe it doesn't sync tasks but I may be wrong.

Yes, it will sync with outlook.

It will sync with Outlook but only contacts and calendar, NO tasks.
I also had a problem getting it to sync with Office 2010 x64 version, but it works well with Office 2010 x86 verion.

How would one snyc his outlook tasks if it isn't supported by htc sync?

I find Outlook to be premitive with it's notes so I started using EverNote ...

I think this is one area where the Android is let down, full syncing capabilities. from the various syncing apps that I've seen, none yet seem to perform as well as MS ActiveSync.

i couldn't agree more. i started to use evernote as a workaround until i found that you can't edit noted on the device if they were created on my pc ? that makes the app completely useless to me.
perhaps evernote will update their app as i was hoping that it would replace the reliable but poor outlook notes app and one note. my search goes on ...

[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.

Exactly - this is my problem, I can't use HTC Sync.
I'm very surprised there isn't any android apps readily available for this, or did I overlook any?

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!

my bad, only does calendar, when I'm at work I'll try find a different solution.

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.

HD2 Gingerbread vs HTC Sync

Hi,
I am not sure if someone else asked this question. I updated my phone to Nand Gingerbread. Everything works great. However, the major problem I am having is that HTC Sync (on Win7 laptop) does not recognize the device.
In the previous Android (2.2), when we used to connect it to the PC, many options would appear to identify the type of the connection. One of those options was "HTC Sync". Choosing this option used to allow HTC Sync software on the windows pc to recognize the device and sync its contents.
However, in Gingerbread I cannot find anyway to connect my HD2 in a "sync" mode in order to allow HTC Sync to recognize it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

htc sync requires htc sense.

Had the exact same problem when i was trying out a Gingerbread rom, and thanks to Tann he told me about a program called MyPhoneExplorer
It works with your dilema and you'll be back to syncing:
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
And its Free too, cant get any better then that

ooo good find, i looked high and low for an outlook sync solution, cant believe i missed this.
it also seems to include the adb usb drivers, so perhaps this could be installed instead of the whole android sdk for the adb drivers....

Thank you so much. This application seems very useful.
Anyways, my problem is that before I flash my HD2 to Gingerbread, I had Froyo Sense, and I synchronized all my contacts to HTC Sync on my PC, and now after I flashed I found that I cannot get those contacts back...
So I guess my only solution is to flash back to Froyo Sense, get those contacts, sync them using MyPhoneExplorer, and then Flash again to Gingerbread.
Thanks for the help everybody.

HTC Sync uses outlook, you need to look in the setting in the app, you can re-sync your outlook contacts with this program. Thats what its meant for also.

You have to install the tool on your win7 from here.
After that install My Phone Explorer Client from the Market. Connect your phone via WLAN or USB and start the Client on the phone. After that start the app from your win7 and set up your sync source (Outlook/Windows Contacts/Gmail/only MyPhoneExplorer) in settings or via new phone assistent.
You can now sync Contacts/Appointments/SMS/Files/Tasks and Notes (new with separate phone app).
It's the first sync solution where you can sync outlook tasks and notes, I love the tool.

Looks also not bad, but I miss the calendar sync.
And it looks like you can transfer contacts to the phone, but can't sync
changes on the phone or in Outlook.
Can you report please how it works?
