Sync Tasks and Notes!!

Does anyone know how to sync tasks and notes on the Xda III...??
Any help would be more than appreciated...

go into activesync on the pc
go into the tools menu
pick options
look if tasks and notes are checked

[Yes - but I need to do this via Exchange Active Sync (or server ActiveSync) and as such you dont have the options availible on the PC.

Hi!
You can't sync Lotus and your PDA with just activesync.
You need activesync and software like EasySync or "Kadenza".

I think The original poster was referring to the notes section within an Outlook Mailbox and not the Lotus notes product itself.
If I'm wrong, I stand corrected though!

Ohh ohh sorry!
(Maby this is his next step )

Maybe!!
I had looked at a Lotus Notes sync product, but as I've now left that company and am using Exchange only, I'm happy to stick with that i've got.

It was the outlook notes feature - i guess no one has any advice..??

If you're syncing with a PC that has outlook on it, that is connected to your exchange server, then it implies you can sync to the local PC's copy of your notes/tasks.
Specifically on notes, here's a screenshot out of my manual. They get synched too your Notes software on PPC.

Sync Lotus Notes and PDA
I'm using Notes / PPC (Ipag 6340). I've tried several packages but the best and most "transparent" is Cadenza Commontime - Mnotes which proivdes full sync of mail, folders, calendar and tasks.
They've got a trial version you can check out on www.commontime.com
Good luck !

Where is Outlook mobile?

Hello evryone
After getting some hours to spend with my new Pro2 i was checking out the options to sync agenda email contacts etc.
However i am a new user to win mobile and i wasnt using outlook before on my laptop. I just installed it, however to sync it i have to enable the options in the mobile device manager that standard comes with the phone.
When i tried to sync my email etc i noticed that outlook is not installed on my pro 2? This is normal? i can get it of the cd aswell? how?
im a total beginner, any help would be apreciated
thanks in advance
Alsa

alright, i feel pretty newbie haha i i figured it out, so forgot about first post
however, i only have an hotmail email account, how do y sinc this with outlook and my pro2?
might not be possible, so maybe some1 can tell me how to sync my contacts to my outlook?
kind regards

Oh, man. I see you're a total newcomer, welcome to the Windows Mobile world! Your phone will look like complicated at first, but after a couple weeks playing with it, you should be able to start harnessing it's power.
Pocket Outlook is integrated on your phone. The contact tab, calendar, tasks, etc IS pocket Outlook itself.
In order to sync your contacts with windows, you need to have the syncing software installed. It's on your phone's CD. If not, then you can get it from Microsoft:
Windows XP and earlier, use Activesync.
Windows Vista, Seven, use Windows Mobile Device Center.
After the syncing software is installed, just plug in your phone, select activesync, and follow the instructions on-screen.
To sync your hotmail account directly to your phone, you can use Windows Live (add it to the program tabs) and then sign-in. If you want it directly in outlook PC, then search for the Outlook Connector.

For hotmail; go to the TF3D--> Settings--> email setup menu and enter your details as prompted; it will automatically create a hotmail connection file for you

Unable to sync HTC Desire with Windows 7 64-bit

I am using a Win 7, 64 bit. Just bought my Desire.
Unable to sync.
I was using HTC Hero before this, I tried the same method which I sync-ed my Hero but it does not work anymore.
I did download the latest version of HTC Sync but this HTC Sync just can't detech my phone.
Anybody there could help?

Does the computer (rather than the program) first detect the phone?
(D'oh question Is the phone in disk drive or sync mode?
I also have Win 7 64-bit. I've never used HTC Sync but I do regularly connect up to the computer for file transfer.

HTC Sync works fine with W7 x64 (I use it) - the issue I've got is it now syncing with Outlook 2010 x64...I use my other PC with Outlook 2007 for that

Had a similar problem. Installed HTC sync on Win7-64 and it worked but then it stopped working after a while.
In my case I changed the USB port without noticing and constantly got a device recognition error. When I reverted to the initial USB port it just worked well again. It might also be that some device is connected to the same USB root hub and disturbs the connection, so try a different port and install the software again.

Im i the rarity that has Win7 X64 and Outlook 2010 working and working well with HTC Sync??
Try starting fresh and seeing what happens

My Desire is currently syncing with my Windows 7 X64 / Office 2010 32bit laptop without any problem. I'm using it from when office was still in Beta 1...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Error when I try and sync...
I have just got a Desire and when I try and sync (v 3.0.5.422) I get an empty window open with the title 'Error'.
Weird thing is that I had exactly the same thing trying to sync my previous phone, a TouchHD with Windows Mobile 6.5 using ActiveSync.
I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Office x64 2010.
As I get the same error with both ActiveSync and HTC Sync that tells me thats its a W7 issue but I have no idea what !!!
Has anyone had and more importantly, resolved this ?
Thanks

sync
Use gsyncit 64 bit for outlook 64, it will sync outlook with google, so all my conctacts and calendar, are synced on my Desire

32bit, 64bit
It doesn't matter if you have Windows 7 32bit or 64bit. What is important, is which bit version you have on your Outlook.
Outlook 2010 32bit is supported by HTC Sync v.3.0.5422.
Outlook 2010 64bit is not.
HTC is working on a version that can communicate with Outlook 2010 x64.
The error message you got if you have Outlook 2010 x64 is:
"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the
messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail
client."
That means: Current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request (It's not 32bit).
So, if you have Windows 7 x64 with Outlook x86, HTC Sync works.

That is not all, WinMo has the same problem. Quote from Microsoft technet site:
"Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) synchronization, WMDC does not synchronize with Microsoft Outlook 2010 if you use the 64-bit version of Outlook 2010. In such cases, an error message displays that states that there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging. WMDC synchronizes correctly with the 32-bit version of Outlook 2010. To synchronize a Windows Phone with Outlook 2010 by using Windows Mobile Device Center, uninstall Outlook 2010 64-bit. Then use the original installer that you used to obtain Outlook 2010 64-bit to install Outlook 2010 32-bit. Outlook 2010 32-bit is the default option."

Ah I wonder if that's why I am having problems too with w7 x64 and outlook 2010 x64
2010 x32 worked fine though on w7 x64
is gsyncit free?

The newer HTC Sync still gives a random 'error' when trying to sync contacts to outlook 2010 x64.
gsyncit sync's gmail contacts - but my gmail contacts don't sync from phone -> gmail ? is that because I am doing something wrong?
when I log in to gmail I have no contacts, but my phone has lots... I don't really want to uninstall outlook and reinstall the x32 bit if I can help it... but can't seem to find anyway to sync my contacts on my phone... anyone able to help?

Has the phone and email corruption issues been fixed?
Also does it work on more than one PC eg work and home?
Will continue to use MyPhoneExplorer instead of HTS until these have been sorted.

Mailed HTC asking if HTC Sync will be able to support outlook 2010 x64 eventually and got this back:

In order to sort this problem out you would need to follow these steps:
- Uninstall the HTC Sync and drivers form your PC and then download a new version of HTC Sync from http://www.htc.com/uk/support.aspx
- Before installing HTC Sync on your PC you would need to disconnect from the internet (simply disable the WiFi network or unplug the LAN cable), disable firewall and antivirus. Note: The reason for disconnecting from the internet is to avoid Windows retrieving wrong drivers from internet and not from HTC Sync.
- Install new version of HTC Sync and connect the device to the PC
- While the device is connected go to the status bar on the device (the line on the top of the screen) press and slide it down, then change USB mode to HTC Sync.
* If the HTC Sync still indicates that the device is not connected – try to connect to a different USB port and make sure you are connected directly to the PC, do not use USB hub or any USB extensions.
* Make sure you do not have any other synchronisation software installed on your PC as they might interfere with HTC Sync.
* You would need to be logged in to your PC as administrator.
* Reboot your PC and mobile device and then try to sync again.
* You can also try to synchronize with another computer and see if it is the problem with the PC or the handset.
* If you are using Outlook 2010 64bit it will not synchronise as it is not supported just yet with this version.
With HTC Sync you will be able to synchronise your contacts, calendar, documents, browser bookmarks and multimedia files such as video, music and photos.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolved the issue, please contact us (use this contact details - http://www.htc.com/uk/CA_Hotline.aspx ) and we will attempt to explore further troubleshooting avenues.

Not sure why they didn't say that the 64bit is not supported yet first - but there we go... hopefully in a few versions time it may be working.
For now though - I think I'll downgrade to 32bit outlook so I can sync.

I've yet to find a free app that Syncs reliably and effectively between Outlook contacts and Google.

In terms of Outlook > Android sync I can recommend MyPhoneExplorer

64bit Outlook 2010 Sync Support
Just wondering if HTC Sync v3.0.5511 still does not support Outlook 2010 64bit? Also there are two versions of HTC Sync at HTC under the Desire. HTC Sync v3.0.5511 and HTC Sync v3.0.5511 (NAM) anyone know what the difference is?
Just flashed DHD on my HD2 and cant get it to sync with 64bit Outlook 2010. Neither HTC Sync nor MyPhoneExplorer 1.8 seem to work. Am I still doing something wrong or is it still incompatible?
If I would not have gotten this Problem I would not have noticed that I installed the 64bit version. I guess I can just revert to 32bit Outlook 2010 somehow. I dont realy remember choosing 64bit during the installation but oh well I guess I am getting old. Or does anyone here knows of a way to make it work?

You have to reinstall all office items to put 32 bit on. Also I think the installer tries to be intelligent

You are right had to uninstall 64bit Office completely and reinstall Office 32bit with the right installer.

This is all what you need to sync with outlook (in my case)

Exchange 2003 Sync (2007/2010)
Hi,
thanks for the hint.
I use mine with Exchange 2003 SP2(!) and Android support this with out
any extra App. (I found this out after i did a long travel to the available Apps for this).
Important is at Exch.2003 the SP2! (2007 and 2010 should work for sure)
Then it works with SSL via Exchange-Active-Sync. Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
Just add a new Account in Email with the Exchange Server Details.
I was surprised, it worked after 20 Sec. of configuration.
With all the App's (for this) i had minor and major troubles.
This only for all who need this simple and easy.

Wifi didn't work for me too.
Is the USB (ADB drivers) working correctly, check device manager.
Which OS are you using?
The ADB with windows 7 isn't stable. I have to update the ADB drivers each time when I connect the device.

Another sync application for Outlook is Android-Sync.
http://www.android-sync.com/
This application is much faster then MyPhoneExplorer but in the current release (0.195a) it can only sync the contacts and calendar.

[APP] MyPhoneExplorer

just in case i have never seen that MyPhoneExplorer was mentioned in the way i'd appreciate... i will do now.
This donateware syncs your Android device via WiFi or USB (Debugmode), it can sync with
- Windows-Addressbook
- Outlook 2010
- Thunderbird (!!!)
- GMail
- iCal (for Calendars)
I've not seen how it integrates into Outlook, but in Thunderbird it installs a plugin that let's you write SMS and initiate calls.
There also is a popup on your Desktop when you get called.
It is available in many languages. Available settings are almost complete.
I use it to sync my Thunderbirds at work and home and it does quite well also.
have fun
