Trying to setup Google Sync on my HD2 like it says on the Google Sync website.
Everything works except when selecting which items I want to sync, the Google Calendar check box is faded out and cannot be selected.
How do I sync my Google Calendar then?
Anyone know how to get it syncing?
just asking
you are using active sync
then unselecting the things it wont sync like text messages
and at the begining of the setup select manual rarther than the automatic setup option that seems to be the default
then server setting m.google.com
im only asking as i have always used this method as it works so brilliantly , all your email contacts and calander sync at all times , love it !
=====peace=====
Had to access ActiveSync from the Start menu using the default Windows Mobile interface rather than the HTC Sense version...got it to work now.
Hey guys,
I know this isnt a Development related question, but i think a suitable answer to this question would be invaluable (i for one find myself installing all of the new builds as they come out). Is there an easy way to move things like calendar appointments and contacts from WinMo to Android?
Thanks

Use google's tools.
You can SYNC winmo contacts and calendar with Google's FREE online calendar...
then when you run Android, it will sync with the same data.
Also, when do use Google's online stuff, if you lose your phone, or you reinstall, all your contacts and calendar items resync with your new phone As long as you have a data connection (wifi or phone)
How can i get google sync to work in wm6.5? Here, in the activesync program, clicking the "set up your device to sync with it" link does nothing...
thats how it says to do it on the google sync website.

sorry, if this is not the right answer...
For WinMO - Use ActiveSync to Connect to your device, setup Sync Partnership, and it will sync from Outlook (emails, contacts, etc etc... depends on how much you choose)
For Android - the options are (depends on which accounts is selected to sync contacts)
1. Google Sync - It will sync your contacts from your gmail account
2. Corporate Account - if you are on exchange, this will sync all your contacts from Outlook.
these are 1 to 1 syncs.
-----------------
To do Outlook -> Gmail -> Android, I believe there are some software you can use... i read on google, but reviews are very subjective, and I have tried none, so wont be able to recommend.
For corporate use, I have heard CompanionLink and Touchdown to be good.

can you please post the link you are using ....
Sry I'm new so I can't post any links but searching "google sync" in google should return correct link in first result.
My suggestion - don't sync mail, it's buggy. Better use IMAP for gmail and sync only contacts / calendar.
If "set up your device..." link is dead (that was my case also) try searching ActiveSync menu for "server source" or something like that (my ROM is localized so I don't know how it's called in English version). When done proceed as in tutorial about google sync. My ROM is WM6.1 but 6.5 should work the same way.
YES I was able to fully sync contacts & calendar that way with my google account. Syncing works both ways and if you set it up correctly it will push any new or updated items almost instantly between account and a phone.

It works!
I though it tried it but i guess not. Thanks for the reply and welcome to the forums
Android uses its own internal google sync to make sure your contacts and calendar etc are synced with Google's servers.... GOOD
Windows Mobile is ALSO supported by Google who are using Exchange server!!!...you can sync over the air with ActiveSync (m.google.com)... look on Google's support site or search for "Google ActiveSync"... note, Google only supports Contacs, Calendar and Mail sync (push), it does not support tasks or notes.
Works flawlessly for me, except for STUPID HTC messing with the 'notes' field in my contacts. This is a HTC bug, so beware.
So basically, IF you use Google for your contacts and Calendar, you can keep WinMo and Android in perfect sync

I just tried it using this link which shows the instructions on how to do it... but incase your are having syncin problems after followin the instructions uncheck the tasks option when asked wht you want to sync....
So in other words your contacts and your calendar will be in sync
I'm trying to get my dads phone going. Droid X, the people that first set it up didn't use his real Google email address. So I tried formatting it and starting over. Did that and it shows no option to sync with a calendar. Just contacts, and I don't think all of them came through. Around 900. I'm trying to use the free sync program from Google for Outlook. He also has Plaxo and I tried there sync feature as well.
At first I don't think his outlook was uploaded to Google calendar. So when sync ran it took them from outlook and uploaded the calendar to Google.
Still not able to get the option on the main phone account for calendar. Any ideas ? Do I have to reset device again?

The phone will sync with whatever is in his Google calendar account. Find the best way to keep his online Google calendar synced with whatever he is using on his pc and the phone will sync automatically.
Fixed it. Had to reset the phone after I uploaded the calendar from outlook to google. Doesn't make since that the option to sync wouldn't be there regardless of having a calendar uploaded at time of initial setup. HTC incredible that I have did... why ?

My google contact is having sync issue , The cal, Gmail sync is working but the contact is not sync. I'm getting this error message Sync is currently experiencing problem. It will be back.
It was working fine when I first bought the phone. I did removed some apk but I don't think I remove the sync.apk since it working with other synchronize program. Are there any apk that is tie to the contact sync process or is there something else that I should try.
Running stock ROM
Rooted
In Settings, look for Sync & Accounts (the name varies from ROM to ROM). Press on your Google account, and then you will see the various sub-accounts that you can sync (or stop from syncing). Enable contacts.

Since I'm noobi it won't allow me to post links yet.
Is there other alternate route to show the screen shot.
Is it possible that something got deleted, is so What associate file will work again, because I do have all the backup apk.
Hi
Please can someone help. I have an HTC Hero with Android 2.1. I am able to sync the contacts with HTC Sync with no problem at all. However, I am totally unable to sync the Calendar. What I would like to do is sync my HTC Calendar with Google calendar and also export it so that I can save the calendar to my SD Card. However, nothing seems to work, not even HTC Sync.
Any help would be much appreciated.
As far as I know, Google calendar syncs with your google account at any time when you have internet connection and/or background data/autosync enabled. HTC Sync sync your phone's calendar with MS Outlook (if you use windows).
Thank you. Please can you tell me how I can use HTC Sync to Sync my HTC Calendar with Outlook because I am unable to make this work at the moment!
I've downloaded a program called Google Calendar Sync. This program syncs your outlook calendar with your google calendar (you can tell it which ways it has to sync e.g. only outlook-> google, or google->outlook or both ways), and then in turn, your google calendar syncs with your phone.
See Google Calendar Sync page for more info.
Chek this out.
