Hi guys,
Like you know, now Google doesn't let WM6.5 ActiveSync to sync contacts, emails, etc.
So is there any way else to sync contacts with Google thru WM6.5?
Thanks!
is there anyway pls?
i really need to sync contacts with google, cus i use gmail a lot!
thanks!
From what I have read accounts which now use ActiveSync/MS Exchange syncing will still be able to sync. Only new accounts are not allowed.
For Gmail I think you can use IMAP. For calendar and contacts syncing I don't know of any solution.
Tutorial sync to google
Hi here is my Tutorial, I translate it from German to English so somethings can have another title :
1.) Open Active Sync
2.)Click on Menu ->Configure Server
3.)write under Serveradress: m.google.com
and Accept (SSL) and then click next.
4.)now under User name: "your GoogleMail account"
password : "your pw"
domain : let it blank.
If you want click on Save password. Now click next.
5.) Now Accept Contacts,
E-Mail and
Calendar
BUT NOT on "lesson or tasks"
If you only want to sync contacts then don't accept the other one.
And click on Finish.. and Sync...
Sry for my bad english .. I translate some words over Google Translate..
And I use Sony Ericsson Aspen so I can have some other ways as you and your smartphone.. but I thing its the same way.
omg. thank you very much. i guess that i use the wrong server address. now everything is ok.

It seems that finally Google has released a sync for google calendar and contacts for WM (and iPhone) today.
Now to get it working...
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
Waiting for email and tasks sync too.... Then I will use it for sure...
yea nice... im waiting for this... used http://www.scheduleworld.com all the time
Well I can't get it to work. First screen asks for my email address, then when I enter my log in on the third it blanks out the domain then it just won't sync at the end.
I got it up and running from the phone... First couple attempts failed, but I was choosing the Mail and tasks options, only selecting the Contacts and Cal entries (as per the instructions ) meant it worked normally.
Shorted (sic)
No idea what the issue with mine was, but I reset and tried afresh and it's now going great guns.
Only one calendar?
It only appears to sync the one calendar...
mine doesn't work, i get an error "Your account in Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your admin"
Support Code: 85010004
anybody knows what this means?
I've not got it too work either yet, I wonder if it's being staged in a few accounts at a time?
{EDIT}
:doh, forgot I hadn't set a google calendar up on that g account.
As soon as I did and tried again it synched, maybe a coincidence but it's working now..
You have to choose Contacts and Calendar only... NOT Mail and Tasks
i have selected only Contacts & Calendar and i do have an active calendar account on google but still no luck
... i managed to sync my contacts by unticking the calendar option. i guess that would have to do for now
hmk ...
the google description says, i have to enter my whole emails adress and google as domain.
fun part is, i cant enter the domain anymore, as soon i add an "@" sign :/
I tried it and it does work, but it has some limitations.
@grayme
about which calendar it syncs, Google help says it syncs only main calendar, not the others.
this is not enough for some, i want to sync more than one calendar, and the only valid solution for now is the OggSync Pro, which can sync many calendars, and you even select which method to do for each (2 way, incoming only or outgoing only).
@achmed20
google documentation is for an older version maybe, not WM6.1, the first windows you put your gmail address and password, then in later steps it will ask for server.
I wish Google would extend this service for push emails with their Gmail service!
I have to admit i was always reluctant to use much of Google's services apart from searching because they have a very dominant position in the market. But they seem to be implementing the right things for their customers at no extra cost! Who could say no to that?

but the description says leave domain empty
anyway, I got it finally working once I unchecked calendar. But what I do not understand is why it always try to use the data connection even if I am connected to wifi
Looks nice,
I'm using Nuevasync, does this job the same way. i've got 6 agenda's on my account, and there all in sync..
Well there was an announcement recently that Google have licensed activesync so we may see more to come in this area

So you have tried to sync contacts? does it sync all contact detail? especially the birth date?
i configured my X1 to sync only calendar with Google Sync, for contacts i use Zyb and Funambol (still to decide which is better), i didn't use DashWire becuase it didn't have the birth date field synched...
It does not sync the birthday field. Sync-ed fields are:
- Name, title, company
- Email
- Phone
- Address
- IM
- More information (Notes field for example)

I tried this
http://www.htc.com/www/howto.aspx?p_id=291&id=43&page=2
and it does not seem to work..
Please please do help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
If you want your Hotmail mails in your WinMo to be synced with Outlook -
1. Make sure that Email check box is checked i.e. when you are syncing - Email is shown in the list of items to be synced.
2. In outlook, you will find two folders, Personal Folder and Hotmail. The Hotmail folder is NOT synced with Activesync. Simple drag all mails in the inbox from Hotmail Folder to Inbox of Personal folder. That should work.
Unless you have a GPRS connection the link you have described will not work.
Hope it helps

Load up the messenger application on your device, it should ask you to log in and if you want to sync your email...
But in all honestly, you're better off setting up a gmail account and using activesync on your device - it will give live mail, and sync contacts and calendar all the time automatically.
I've made a Gmail account. And i've synced my Hotmail with Gmail. It will take a few hours or days. Then i synced my Microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop with Gmail. Connected the USB and successs!! I synced my Gmail with my phone.
But i dont understand why i cant send out or receive any email? I'm using my WiFi. Is it possible to Send/Receive while using WiFi instead of GPRS Internet cause thats very expensive ^^
But anyways, thanks it works. If only i could send/receive mails now.. Hopefully not by GPRS.

Depends how you've set up gmail...
you need to set up gmail as an exchange server, with the address m.google.com, and sync mail, contacts and calendar only. Then you get true push email, you don't need to conenct activesync to your pc at all, should all work over wifi.
What do you mean? How do i check that settings?

Go into activesync, then congigure server. Try and delete the server source you have, then create a new one.
Username iis your full gmail address, server is m.google.com, leave all security settings ticked.
hi, i had the same problem, i resolved it this way:
when you want to configure your hotmail account like any other email in your mobile,
i think the problem is that the Touch 2 (or WM6.5) has some mail-server account settings pre-configured, and the hotmail one is wrong. i managed to use hotmail both as IMAP and POP3 by just entering a wrong e-mail address (like [email protected]), then entering the right serer settings for pop3 or imap (found in hotmail's help by searching pop3 or imap), and finally, after finishing the configuration, just edited the e-mail settings and altered the email address with the right one (@hotmail.com).
now it's working perfectly, just like gmail or any other mail service.
hope this helps.

Have you tried setting gmail up as an activesync account?
Server: m.google.com
User: your email address
Password: your gmail password
Domain: leave blank
Then you should be able to sync them in

I believe that's the only way people r using their contacts in LEOs (or hotmail sync) ...Ive been using it that way since it's first day on my hd2 but i would like to copy contacts to phone cause when u disable gmail sync it also deletes all ur contact then u need to resync everything again ...
Well, import the contacts on PC to your Live ID. There is an online tool for that in Live altough syncing with google is better, because it syncs even contact pictures and has less corrupted information. You probably cant have contacts without the cloud link.
Ummm have you tried just setting up a gmail account on the phone??
Sync'd my contacts just fine, I do not use any contacts from my live account only from gmail ...
no phone numbers present when sync from google
does anybody has solution

I am tires of WINMO 6.5, and WP7 is not what I want. The only thing is that I can't give up my hotmail, and NO I don't want POP3 version, and the exchange trick won't show me attachments..... not html etc.
I want hotmail to behave like any an regular email client.
As of now this is how I am setup on winmo 6.5:
1. PH#s (contacts with PH#s) + Calendar = Gmail, synced via microsoft exchange (I do this because I use Google voice)
2. Email (Hotmail) + Email contacts - synced via windows live email client
Any advise will be greatly appreciated. Also... I would like to combine somehow all my contacts in one directory that will be synced somehow between gmail (for google voice texts and calls) and hotmail (since I use this all over my PC's and add contacts from different locations. Can I do all this and use ANDROID?? Please help!! Thank you!!! - Peter
lol you already have the right parts. Just finish adding your contacts to Gmail. Sign in to your Gmail account as your Google account on your Android phone and you can automatically sync your Google calendar and Google contacts. You can even auto sync your contacts so that as soon as they're in your phone they'll be added to your contacts. If you're worried about all your email only contacts showing up in your dialer, then you usually have the option to only show contacts with phone numbers.
Gmail (as with most e-mail clients) supports HTML.
You've just reminded me what a PITA WM6.5 was. It was workaround after workaround to get the last workaround to work. There's a reason Microsoft dumped the old "Windows Mobile" name and start fresh. 6.5 compared to ANY modern smartphone software is just dumb. Sorry for the rant, I think I was getting flashbacks @[email protected]
In Gmail you can add your hotmail, yahoo and others through an interface(PC only). When you have your gmail account open in a browser(PC) click the gear in the upper right corner and select mail settings. Then select accounts and imports tab and it's the second option. Super easy as I have done it. As for mail, there is a @mail app built into android. Just google hotmail android and you'll find pop3/imap/exchange settings everywhere. And I do believe that @email android app is HTML viewable.
There is no reason at this point to keep that old 6.5 phone, jump over to Android and you'll totally forget you ever had a lesser phone.
But.. still if I add Hotmail via exchange, it wont let me view attachments... Pop3 is not the way to go, since is not a complete sync with the server (I check Hotmail from different PC's and add/remove contacts constantly. Pop3 won't sync that)

So does this mean I will switch from Hotmail? And when I reply to an email received at hotmail will show my gmail as sender? Again, I don't want to switch from hotmail. All I want is an "email client" for android that fully suports hotmail with 2 way sync. I hope you understand.
P.S. looks like my post shows up twice. How do I delete the other one?
Thank you you guys for your help!!!
I believe "Enhanced Email" for Android does what you're looking for. It can use Exchange ActiveSync and has an option for HTML email.
Also, if you want to sync Gmail and Hotmail contacts, try Soocial.
