Not sure if this is the correct part of Forum.
what is the most reliable way to sync outlook with android phone?
I know that you can sync outlook with google calendar, and then android, but that is no ideal, i don't want to sync it google online service.
I also found an app that sync from outlook to some weird office app on andorid, and the date still is not visible though native android apps.
Checks if this helps you!
[Q] Outlook Sync with current android builds

My PhoneExplorer

Hi,
Android only syncs my mail. It used to work on older builds and it does work in WM. I've tried several builds. Anyone having the same problem or knows how to fix it?

Hi, i having a problem to sync my contacts,text messages,etc from my old OS (windows mobile 6.5) to WP7. I have backup my contacts and text messages to Myphone app, but WP7 seems don't have the app. So how can I syn my thing since WP7 don't have the desired app? Did anyone have ideas to help me solve this problem?
Check is WM7 is what you need...
That's a big WM7 issue. As far as I know (I just flash it yesterday and went back to droid) the only way to sync all is to use the "cloud", Gmail or Exchange. No way for the moment to synch anything with your computer!
The job to port WM7 is awsome, it works very nicely but the OS itself is crappy.
My HD2 became a toy for music, hotmail etc...
But as a computer peripheral it's useless (I need something which doesn't send all my contacts and appointments to a third party company as MS or google).
Check what you need in order to decide if WM7 is for you or not.
***please don't misunderstand my post, the port of WM7 is a great job! it's only the usage I need from my phone which is not compatible with this OS but all was working as it has to, fully activated by MS, access to market... really great job***
but maybe soon...
Regarding the amount of complains from "pro" users on the MS Forum, they may update Zune to sync more than just music, pictures...
So wait for updates from MS or third party (SpriteBackup, ...) apps to give the ability to backup/restore (at least) or sync directly with a computer.
Don't forget WM7 is still a new OS.

I tried Gmail and it's work, but I think the contact pictures are with poorer quality.
me to) no problem at all) everything is seems to be working ok...all apps loaded after jailbreak and it has not lock for 3 days...htc hub is veeeeery nice...the only minor issue is it seems to not recorgnize contry code for phone numbers.. if a contact call and my address book do not have this contact with the +47 t does not know that number...but as sayed .....its just a beta...i have never had a so stable beta before))
This should go to Q&A

You can also sync through LIVE. Try this for better pictures Although Gmail is a more universal solution of you plan to go back to Android or have a second phone with this OS as I do

Exactly my problem too. I can save contacts with the usual number xxx xx xxx, and it works all good until i get a text from the very same number, but with country code added.. +47xxx xx xxx is not recognized as xxx xx xxx.. and the other way around again.. hoping for a fix soon
does someone know how to sync microsoft myphone with wp7.....cause i have all my contacts and sms backuped there....:S and i cant find a way to sync them with wp7 or Live services....any ideas?
You can't. Myphone is only for Windows Mobile, not Windows Phone. The best you can do is to log in on your pc and transfer your contacts to hotmail or gmail, then sync. Don't know what you can do about your texts at the moment.
Caller ID

You can fix this in the registry by setting the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7
Worked for me
thnx to xboxmod
A work around?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?
I was able to sync my contacts from my WM6.5 to wp7. Used to have all my HD2 contacts saved in Outlook contacts. I exported all those contacts as an excel (or you can do it as an csv-comma separated values) file to my documents. Then I created a Windows Live ID on my desktop. It is basically a hotmail account. Imported contacts to my Windows Live ID account from my documents. So all your contacts are saved online in your Windows Live account. Then I signed into Windows Live on my WP7 HD2 and imported all my contacts from my online account.
I also want to know. Currently I have Outlook stored my WM6.5 contacts, calendar, tasks, and PIMBackup stored my texts and call logs. Any 3rd party WP7standalone app available to do the similar. I think all the above addressed less than 1/3 of the requirements here.
So I've just flashed a Gingerbread ROM after coming from mcr r9 for a few months. Prior to that I was on stock Sense 2.1 (I'm sure some may remember that! )
With 2.1 the calendar app, you had the option to have a good few calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
a "my calendar" or similar calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
and iirc UK holidays
and maybe the Facebook calendar
With 2.2 going into the Calendar app and pressing [Menu]>More...>Calendars>[Menu] they removed the "my calendar"/"personal calendar" but you still have these calendars:
your google/gmail account calendar
the PC Sync calendar - for syncing with outlook
UK holidays
Facebook calendar
Now in Oxygen rc7/test build @6 Feb 11 you obviously get the new 2.3.2 calendar.
It looks like I only have
your google/gmail account calendar
UK holidays
So my questions are:
Is that correct or is the calendar still a WiP?
Is this something google are slowly changing over the android revisions i.e. Is this a feature of gingerbread or the 2.3.2 calendar? - So that people are forced to use google calendar as their sole calendar...
I need to use Outlook calendar on my pc and sync both a WM phone and this android phone from that - I don't want to sync my calendar with/migrate to google calendar thanksbutnothanks.
Do I have any options/workarounds other than to go back to froyo?
Thanks for reading this far and for any insight/help you may give.
I have had succes syncing my Outlook with something called Myphoneexplorer (for PC there is an android client app for this program.)
But I have found syncing the contacts can be a bit of a pain because of the multiple contact sources (facebook LinkedIn and Google) and it take some work to actually link the contacts on the phone to remove and combine the dupes.
I haven't had time to play with it very much but it did sync my contacts and calendar.
Still a robust and cloud consolidating option would be a god send.
Not sure if that would require better cloud support in Outlook but it seems logical.
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.
