I know this is prob a daft question...
Am I right in thinking if my Universal is syncing the Contacts, Appointments, Tasks and E-mails with my Exchange server. Then its not possible to make it sync Contacts, Appointments and Tasks with another PC that isn't connected to the same Exchange Server?
I know this may sound daft, but I could really do with my Appointments ETC from my work pc on my Universal.
Thanks,
David.
I'd like to understand this as well.
I have a XDA Exec and a Wizard connecting to a paid for exchange account for my contacts etc. However on my Exec I also have Activesync set to sync my contacts with two PCs (work and home laptop) whereas on my Wizard I cannot have multiple selections for calender, just syncing with exchange.
This is a real mystery to me and I would really like to understand exchange syncing a little and how best to set up my two devices and various PCs I want to sync with.
Sync Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with 2 Exchange
Heya.
I used my home ExchangeServer for Pushmail (not only mail; calendar, tasks and contacts also).
In addition to my home exchange i synced my office exchange with the same phone. Worked without real problems.
You need to change following registry-value on the phone:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync
2. Change the value EnableNonLocalcrossPollination from 0 to 1
3. Now you can check your second calendar, tasks and contacts, but only in ActiveSync on the Phone
Now the greyed-out fields (see attachment) aren't greyed-out anymore...
On your computer you can't do this settings...
But there are two issues:
- you can only sync the mails from one of the both accounts
- you need to sync the second account by usb-cable...
Best Regards
Peter
Is anyone else having problems syncing outlook 2007 inbox and calendar(contacts sync OK). Only had teh the problem since upgrading to WM6 (Great job, by the way!)
I've tried a hard reset, and still have the problem. Any suggestions appreciated
I had the same problem. I just configured the sync with contacts only, synchronized, the reconfigured including calendar and mail, synchronized again: now it works. Not clear why and how, but that's it...
I can only sync with my pc if i disconnect windows firewall :S
no problems syncing with exchange
Hi,
This must be covered a million times already so have patience... I'm using the company's mail for exchange server for synching my mail, calendar and contacts. Usually works like a charm, but when I tried creating an appointment in my phone, I got the error 0x86000107. Tried recoupling the phone, taking calendar and/or contacts off of the synch schedule with no results. Only thing that worked was deleting the appointment in my phone and then obviously recreating it in outlook.
I'm using the standard rom (6.1) Build 20769.1.4.5
Thanks in advance...
Hi, all.
The manual for Vibrant, beginning on Page 120, talks about using Samsung Kies to sync files between the PC and Vibrant. I downloaded Kies version 1.5.1.10071_32 through samsungapps.com. Installed no problem on my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS. I've got 32-bit Outlook 2010 installed.
I enabled the USB connection through Kies on my phone. Drivers installed no problem when the phone was connected through USB.
First time using Kies, contacts sync'd up just fine. Calendar, not so much. Nothing sync'd.
Subsequent attempts to connect the phone sometimes hangs Kies. When the connection is successful, and I attempt to sync, my entire calendar will be imported into Kies, but only a few of the appointments get into the phone. Sometimes no appointments get into the phone. There's no rhyme or reason to what makes it, what doesn't, and it varies from attempt to attempt.
I live and die by Outlook, and trying to make the move to Gmail won't work for me.
Let me add something here. I don't like clouds. Clouds conjure up visions of rain, darkness, thunder and lightning, wind, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Scary stuff. That's why I'm not too big on using Gmail to sync the phone. It also doesn't work real well when the rest of the business world relies on Outlook. For the time being, I've exported my contacts and calendar to CSV DOS files, then uploaded them to Gmail. This is what I have to do everytime I want to update my phone, and it's a pain in the butt.
Even though my US Vibrant manual says to use Kies to sync the phone, the Samsung Apps website makes no indication of any support for US phones, and says my country is not supported by the site. Of the phones listed for other countries (including Canada and the United Kingdom), the Galaxy S is not listed.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Any third party apps that work well?
Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions.
I am assuming you're using Outlook without an Exchange server? This phone syncs just fine if you have an Exchange server.

Right. No Exchange server.
One other thing.
The initial contacts sync works great, subsequent contacts sync hangs at 35%, forced close, then a re-sync destroys the contact list.
I have the same problem. Coming from an Iphone this is the only downside I found with Android.
My Iphone was able to sync outlook (contacts, calendar and notes) + my internet favorites.
Now I use
- KIES for sync my contacts
- google sync to sync my calendar
I didn't found a way to sync my notes or my IE favorites
Still searching
Otherwise there is some third party soft like CompanionLink but they cost $$
Another option for you if you use GMail as your mail provider (via Outlook) is to use Google Calendar Sync. It will sync your Outlook Calendar with your GMail Calendar, which would then automatically Sync with your Android device. That's how I've been doing it since I've had my G1 and it's worked great...no need to plug in and sync anything.

Google Calendar Sync does not yet work with Outlook 2010.

I've been doing the same thing for over a year via OutLook. I just set it up at work as a Scheduled Task and it runs 30minutes before I go home. Keeps the IT guys off my back if they happen to look at my Task Bar and see thing odd running.
TouchDown
I am testing out a trial version of Exchange TouchDown by NitroDesk.
I am not able to post the link but you can google it.
It syncs email, contact, calendar and tasks via USB for stand alone Outlook as well as OTA sync to your Exchange mailbox. Give it a try and let us know how it worked out for you.
I have a different issue... Outlook 2003. I start out with all contacts LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. I sync and all of my contacts last and first names are now transposed in my PC. Now they show FIRST NAME, LAST NAME. It isn't just a function of 'sorting' for when I click on a contact on my PC, the contact's first and last names have actually swapped.
Anybody else experiencing this or have any suggestions? I really like this phone but the absolute lack of being able to update contacts via USB sync (do not like the cloud idea AT all either) is making me think about returning it. Thanks!
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.
