The missing integration between Google and google phone.
Being an android phone for seveal months. I feel that there's some missing integration between Google and google phone.
for example:
1. Why can't we sync outlook's memo with Google doc?
2. Why can't we sync outlook's todo list with Google task?(Currently,gTask can do this)
3. Google checkout: Google already got this payment mechanism,but should be integrated with google phone and market.
4. Google books: why can we browse and buy those books on google phone?
5. Youtube: Why can't we pay for TV drama or movie?

1. why is it phone related if you can't sync between outlook and google?
2. see 1.
3. how do you think paid apps are paid for in the market?
4. can't you browse google books via the website? besides that, there are apps for that on the market...
5. please enlighten me: is it possible at all (i.e. in webbrowser on pc)? tbh, who wants to pay for something and then watch it in youtube quality on a 3" screen?
1. Since PalmOS and WM phone can sync with outlook. Why not google? Many people still rely on outlook for daily work and personal life.
2. See 1.
3. For payment of the market. Please note that there still is still some country without payment mechanism. Like where I come from. I'm not able to buy any AP directly from market.
4. Of course I can browse google books on my PC. But I wish I had a dedicate program to view those book,just like those ebook reader on PalmOS and WM.
5. The movie and TV show on iTunes store would be a good example. Wish we can use it on Android phones.

1. i'we sync with outlook without any problem, mail, contacts and appointment with HTC sync are always ok.. and when i'm away i use an exchange server and all is fine
2 se 1
3 for payment is not a problem of the phone but is a legislation/country problem, in my country google as discussed with cell operators (safe data transfer with CC an so on) and when as recived the ok google as opened the market to paid apps...
4 there are many ebook reader for adroid...just search!
5 no idea about that, i don't use this...
and at the end why i love so much the iphone or a WM palmOS and u have buyed an android platform?
if you want itunes go get an iphone. the other points are not google's fault.
Lets not get too blinded by our like of our Heros. I am a great fan of this phone and it does most of what I want it to do very well. But the one disapointment is the syncing.
I use the phone for business and leisure and I use Outlook to manage lots of things - it is the industry standard. I need to see those things when on the move - like waiting at an airport or sitting in a train, and my phone is a convenient way of doing that without having to get the laptop out every time. On my previous WM TD using Activsync I could sync across my emails, tasks, contacts and diary. In addition I could choose other Office docs like excel and word files to sync across too.
Now all I can sync across is my contacts and diary. And an additional frustration is that the Quickoffice app for reading word and excel files can't read Office 2007 docs! Sorting that out is not rocket science is it? And it SHOULD be google's responsibility
@peterc10, With 2.1 you can sync exchange accounts. There are several apps on the Market that will allow you to view & even edit any file types that can be create by Office. Last time I checked MICROSOFT made office & Windows Mobile was create by MICROSOFT, so I fail to see Google's requirement to support a none standardized forum like Office 2007 creates.

I Don't use MS exchange, as I said I use Outlook. If there are several apps available perhaps you could point me to them, if it is not too much bother.
I am not sure what your definition of "non-standardised" is but it certainly aint the same as mine if it includes a 3 year old version of the most commonly used office software in the world - i.e. Microsoft Office
Oh and by the way I thought Windows Mobile and Windows may have had some sort of connection, but thanks for letting me know they are both made by the same company - I would never have guessed. But then I guess it must be all my fault . after all Google can do no wrong

You can - just get Documents2Go.
Note Quickoffice is not a Google product in the first place - it just so happens that HTC decided to bundle it with the Hero. At present, there is no Premier version of Quickoffice (required for Office 2007 compatibility) for Android.

Thanks Dave. Others have pointed me to Documents to go so i will investigate that. Any other suggestions on the syncing front would be gratefully received.
Hi
What is the exchange integration like on the tab? Does it do calendar integration like on the iPad with full options to accepts meeting requests etc?
Also, can it open word and excel docs from email and are there options for editing?
Thanks

Yes to the first question. And as for the second one, there is ThinkFree Office installed on the Tab out of the box so you can at least open MS Office Documents. As for editing, I think you would require something like the paid version of ThinkFree or Documents To Go from Dataviz (which is what I use). Neither of those softwares are as great as Keynote, Numbers or Pages are on the iPad.
The version of Thinkfree that came on my UK spec Tab can create/edit documents. I guess this may differ from region to region.

OK thanks guys.
How do you find the functionality of the ThinkFree? Is it adequate for creating and editing word and excel docs? This is really the dealbreaker for me.

Just thought I'd post and say that the email client is the best if not on par with the HTC Mail client for use with Exchange. Its definitely the best looking too!
Calendar invites don't seem to work for me
I was just looking for any info/comments about exhange integration.
I've got a tab and have it set-up with my works Exchange server. Email/Calendar seems to work fine but I see no way of accepting new calendar invites. I can do this on my Desire just fine though.
Am I being a total moron or have others also noticed this?
Mike
There's no need to reply to this question as I found another thread further along and this seems to be a Android<>Exchange issue and not me being a moron. I recall reading just before I got my HTC Desire that HTC had done some extra work on exchange integration and I guess calendar invites was one example. Hey ho - hopefully it will work in the future but in the meantime the 7" screen on the tab means it's easy enough to log in to webmail and accept the occasional invites.
I still love the tab.
I've been testing it for about 2 weeks ...
ThinkFree office suite allows you to create/edit/review xls, doc files.
Works well. PDF viewing is better than Adobe Acrobat reader ... (faster).
About Exchange integration, IMHO it is there but it remains a bit light ...
It supports :
- Multiple Exchange email accounts with push mail (both Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007).
- Multiple Exchange Calendars sync & display (display merge feature is there)
But ...
- Meeting requests buttons ... Accept/ Reject / ... are not there. (known issue ?)
- New meetings or updates added to main Exchange calendar - using your own main account - are seen by other clients for the very same Exchange account (OWA, WiMo, ...) as they were sent by someone else.
- Meeting "Busy/Temporary/Out of office" status cannot be set from Tab UI.
- Meeting "Busy/Temporary/Out of office" status are not displayed.
- Contacts only from the main Exchange account are accessible. Contacts from other Exchange accounts are synced, but cannot be seen.
HTC Desire HD (and Z) Exchange integration is better than the one provided with Galaxy Tab... Let's hope we'll get an update with next firmware.
Appart from all that, Galaxy Tab is a delight to work with ...
cant view folders on the tab
in addition to the inbox, i cant see the sub folders i created in my outlook and the mails routed to these folders dont show up on the tab..The Ipad & Iphone pushes mails even in the subfolders...need some help !!
When I click on the word Inbox next to the exchange server name, I get a drop down list of all the other subfolders to sync them as well, but by default it doesn't load them.

I miss the swipe friendly folder tabs on the Galaxy S, but the dropdown box ain't bad.
I actually think in many ways the Galaxy series has better Exchange support than Windows Phone 7. Really.

Why?
Just got my tab for a few days and just found out that the Galaxy Tab's email client has no way to accept invitations.
This is a very basic exchange functionality working on most other Android Phones.
I do like the GUI though, but this is unforgivable as it is a basic Android 2.2 feature. As is tagging appointments as for example "private", which is also not possible with the Galaxy Tab's Agenda application.
Hi
What you could try to do is to look at what date the invitation concerns and then open up your calender and go to that date and you should be able to accept/decline the invitation.

With exchange access on my (personal) mobile, my company also has the possibility to wipe out my mobile (company policy). Is there a way I could limit this wipe to only affect all the exchange data? I don't mind that in the worst case when they do a wipe, all my exchange data is unavailable (makes sense), but I don't want to lose all my personal apps/data/pictures/etc. as well... (Is this possibly different per exchange client?)
Touchdown handles more complex Exchange integration including client certificates, "device" encryption, PIN code access etc. The good thing about it is that it creates its own encryption and pin locking zone so that it doesn't affect your whole device. On data wipe etc, it only affects the exchange area.
For some reason, Samsung excluded the "Tasks" app that is on the Galaxy S II. I use Outlook tasks that are synched via the Tasks app to my SGS II but I was surprised to see it missing on the GT 7.7
I tried installing it from a Titanium Backup of my GS II but no luck -- perhaps there is a way to do it via a File Manager but I would need to know exactly which files to copy and where they go.
I own a copy of Touchdown for Tablets (from my very brief time with a Xoom last year) but I like the stock Email and Calendar apps from Samsung for Exchange mail/calendar and would like the Sammy Tasks app!
Look forward to someone else figuring this out!

Personally, I prefer not to be tied down to any specific platform, so I use Remember The Milk.
They have an app for almost any platform - including Android and a plugin for Outlook called MilkSync. I think that might help in your case too
But I have to say - it's not free!
You can use it for free, but with some limitations - one of which is that the MilkSync plugin isn't available.
(I still don't have enough posts to add the external links, but it's easy to find - just search for "Remember The Milk")
^ I'm not a Google Apps kinda guy - I use Exchange for all my cloud data (email, contacts, calendar, tasks). The only thing I've left behind is notes, only because there's really no Exchange notes sync app for Android (again other than Touchdown which I would prefer not to use) so I'm using Evernote there which is fine.
For those of you experiencing some consternation regarding syncing your S-Notes with Evernote or Google Docs, here is some insight.
If you have attempted to do this, you will see that the .snb file which is your S-Notes file will appear in Evernote and Google Docs as an attachment. You cannot view the contents of this attachment nor can you launch your S-Notes app from Evernote or Google Docs to view the attachment.
So, you may ask yourself, what's the point?
Well, the point is that although neither of these apps can read an S-Note file, they both do provide a garage of sorts in which to park them. By syncing with your Evernote or Google Docs account, any device which has S-Note on it will be able to load all of the notes from your other device. You cannot open them directly from within Evernote or Google Docs but syncing them does make them show up.
So, to summarize. Yes, syncing your S-Notes is helpful in that it provides you common area in which to store your notes which devices using S-Notes can access through syncing.
Hope that was helpful.
P.S., From what I can tell, if you delete a note on your SGN10.1 and perform a syncing operation, the deleted note is NOT also deleted from Evernote or Google Docs. This means that if you delete notes then perform a Syncing operation, your deleted notes will re-appear if they have been synced previously. Swell, right?
To test this. Create a new note, sync it then delete the note. If you then sync again the note you have deleted re-appears.
The only way to permanently delete notes is to go to Evernote or Google Docs and delete them manually.
If I am wrong about this, someone please let me know. I don't claim to be an expert, simply passing along my observations.
If you do want your notes to appear in Evernote / Google Docs where you can actually see them, you can share individual notes as .pdf files with Evernote / Google Docs. However, any other device syncing with Evernote / Google Docs will only load the .snb files into their S-Notes program. So, if you want to share notes through syncing, you must sync the .snb file also. This can be done by either syncing or directly sharing.
Evernote is a MESS.
The more I look at the Android Evernote app the more I realize it is NOT ready for primetime. How the heck does something like this get released to the public?
Problems:
1) There is no option to choose which client controls the content. For instance, should the contributing client control the content and delete any notes from Evernote which no longer exist on it, or should Evernote control the content and even if the contributing client has deleted files, return those to the client? The second method is how Evernote does it. The PROBLEM with this is deleting notes from S-Notes is pointless since Evernote will just return them when you sync your account. There should be an option in Evernote that says, if the contributing client no longer has a file, delete it here as well or, keep the file here but do not sync that file back to the contributing client. Major fail here.
2) There is no way to delete folders from the Android Evernote app. You can only delete individual files which can take quite a while. Again, huge fail.
3) In the Evernote viewing panel, the thumbnails at the bottom will show the user the contents of a .pdf file; however, the viewing screen itself is blank. The only way you can view the note is to open the attached .pdf in a pdf viewer. Why the heck would they have the viewing pain if it does NOTHING? If the ca show the file contents in the thumbnail, why not the viewing pain? Mind blowing fail.
Ok, the heck with Evernote and Google Docs.
Here is the solution:

Update on S-notes to Evernote
Bumping this old thread. OK, the latest update to JB now allows converting the S-note with four options prior to sharing with evernote. Now you it will be sent as a jpg, pdf, snb (s note file), or text only. If I choose the pdf option to share with evernot it is sent as an attachment. If sent as text only it will appear in the body of the evernote as written text. This helps stream line the evernote integration, but not a real sync as with in S-notes.

I'm new to this forum, what is JB? I'm on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and I'm trying to figure out how to view my s notes that are synced with evernote on my windows 7 computer. They are automatically synced in the s note format and I can't find a program that will let me view the s notes, other than the fuzzy preview evernote gives. If I could tell it to sync as a pdf that would be incredibly helpful.

I've been searching for detailed information about Evernote integration but so far I did not find anything useful.
Can someone explain how does the Evernote integration in new Note 3 works?
I am looking especially for answers to the following questions.
- are action notes synchronized to evernote?
- can I sync scrapbook notes to Evernote?
- can I choose which s-note notebooks sync to Evernote?
- can I choose the destination notebook in Evernote?
- what about tags? are they synchronized?

Action notes and Srapbook doesnt seem to sync with Evernote.
However Evernote has been Integrated quite well into S-note.
Actually, I think s-note is much easier and faster to use than the original Evernote app.
