HTC Sync problems
i used HTC sync and it only syncs in one direction. It syncs calendar entries from Outlook PC to HTC Desire, but not vice versa.
I have raised a call with HTC, but it has fallen into a black hole.
They suggested using the Google Calendar Sync, but now my phone only allows me to add netrie sto phone, noty googlemail account. I cannt work out how to reset this. It used to give me 3 options (Phone, googlemail, and Sync)
I hv installed Google Calendar Sync for Outlook application in my pc, u can set up for "two way", "outlook to google" or "google to outlook". I use it in two way option enabled and working perfectly, when i create an entry with my phone it is reflecting in outlook and vice versa. (auto synch active, google selected)

...except one thing; entries created as rich text/html mode in body section cannot be reviewed in the HTC calendar, but I dont care coz I'm not using it for business, for private use it is more than enough imho.

I had lots of problems with HTCSync, so got rid of it and use MyPhoneExplorer.
I got fed up with Outlook .. it worked once.. HTC sync is a bit pants.. and would not sync all the time.. ( even though I know the data had changed ) .. So I googled it all... Made a back up of my PST .. and now everything is on google...
You should have taken a look at MyPhoneExplorer a free alternative to HTC Sync.
Hello there, I recently purchased a Desire and I really like the phone however I want to know if I can sync the phone to my Microsoft outlook, Is there software that anyone canu recommend. I still have the opportunity to swap my desire for a HD2. Apologies if it may seem an obvious question but I,m a novice and a creature of habit. Awaiting your valuable advice. Thanks
Hi,
HTC Sync is supplied with the Desire. In syncs contacts and calendar with all versions of Outlook. It doesn't sync tasks however.
I use it daily to sync Outlook 2007 with my Desire without any problems.
Re: is sync possible to microsoft outlook?
You can use HTC software or you can use google sync which will automaticly sync google calendar and outlook.

hi
I'm having some problems with syncing my HTC calendar with Outlook. At first sync went fine, since i rooted my desire the HTC Sync seems to go through the process of syncing but my Outlook calendar hasn't been updated when i initiate an meeting from the phone , when i initiate an meeting in the outlook it will sync to the phone no problem and then if i do a change / delete the same meeting in the phone it will cange / delete the outlook.
Conclution only a meeting initiated in the phone dose not sync to outlook.
Any suggestions ? (My computer is running Windows xp outlook 2003.)
Thanks
OTA Sync or via USB with HTC Sync?

I sync with htc sync via usb the only problem is only when i initiated a meeting in the phone it dose not sync to outlook. all the rest ok.
Thanks
Try using MyPhoneExplorer which is a free alternative to HTC Sync
Thanks I tryd but same i think its something with the phone.
Are there any apps which will sync a non-HTC phone with Outlook. Note: This is not exchange, just a local copy of outlook, which is where my calendar and contacts are stored.
I do not wish to wash my contacts/calendar through GMAIL so I am wondering if an app exists.
I am currently on a HTC phone so I have access to HTC Sync which automatically sync's to a local copy of Outlook; something I suspect will not work if I move off of HTC.
Thanks!
that is a positively no
to an Exchange Server yes, to Office Outlook, no
you can install Outlook to Google Sync
Then Sync everything to your Gmail account
Odd
HTC gives that functionality for free with their phones, so it is clearly possible.
Would be a great app for a developer; no idea why it does not exist.

Probably because most people either sync it with Exchange or Google already. Tethered sync is a thing of the past.
With that said, nothing is stopping someone from developing it but I don't think that many people use that.
Email client should be synced with servers, not other clients. I never understand why people want to sync with outlook.

Ahhhhh but there is the issue. I am not seeking to sync an Email client.
I am seeing to sync a pim.
In other words, my calendar and contacts are all in outlook, and HTC phones come with a program to sync contacts and calendar with outlook. I an looking for that functionality in an app.
Answers are appreciated.

[Q] SIMPLE Sync with Outlook?
I don't store my contacts online, only in Outlook and on my phone. I used to use HTC Sync with my Desire HD.... hows the hell do I do this simple thing on the Nexus!? Searching seems to bring up that I should install some crappy Google tools (that I don't want) to sync to the net.
I tries Kies, as it's a Samsung, but predictably it didn't work.

Run an Exchange server?
MyPhoneExplorer might work, if the client runs on ICS. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php
Look for the client in the market.
Why not use Moxier? Search Android Market.
I only know Moxier Mail and that's an exchange client. Can one of the Moxier products really sync directly with Outlook via USB or bt?
Hi,
I currently use HTC Desire and Im order Galaxy Nexus. I have all my Contacts, Calendars in outlook and I synch them with HTC Sync application(Both way: Phone->PC & PC->Phone). I need same functionality on my new Galaxy Nexus.
1.) Is there some free application which can do this?
2.) It can be some plugin for outlook 2007/2010 which automatic sync with google when I make some changes on PC or when I press sync button on phone(I don't have enabled automatic sync). Do exist something like this?
If exist something like I searching can someone post link to PC app(For phone I don't want any application because it will use google contacts, calendar, notes...)
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
Im already try "Google Apps Sync" few weeks ago when Im try sync Nexus S(Which Im have on test and Im return it) with google...
Im try it again now but I still have same problem:
When I install it it ask me for google account and password. I write both but return me error:
Google Apps Sync is not enabled for your email account. Please ask your domain administrator to enable it.
Im look search for solution and find few but I don't want link any domain to Google Apps.
Im also try "Google Calendar Sync" and it work normaly.
I don't want sharing my personal and bussines data to Google but because I don't have other option I will do that but sharing data to some 3rd company like funambol is not option.
So now I must find solution for Contacts.
I am in the same boat as the OP, Nokia does it with PC suite, HTC does it with HTC Sync, Samsung does it with KIES, I have a Nexus one and have not been able to sync outlook with the nexus or outlook with Google, I Keep getting errors, my HTC Desire Z I just plug the cable to the phone and laptop it connects syncs everything is fine, all I want is to sync Contacts and Calendar, the only solution I found to sync with the Nexus one and it looks like I have to do the same with the Galaxy Nexus is to export Outlook files than import them with Google and sync from there, with contacts its no big problem once a week or month is fine but with Calendar to do this daily and sometimes a few times daily as schedule changes its a pain, why Google or any develop has never thought of making an app for easy sync is beyond me, if HTC Samsung Nokia and Apple can do it why not Google ?

Wait, you update your calendar several times a day and you want to manually sync it each time by connecting the phone to a computer? Even with things like HTC Sync that does it quickly, that doesn't sound like a good idea...
This is why Android supports Exchange ActiveSync, so Microsoft products users can get instant updates on their Android handsets. Users who need to manually sync their Microsoft products offline is such a corner case, I doubt they will ever provide a good solution for it. That was something that made sense back in the Pocket PC days when phone and PDA were separate things. But it doesn't make much sense in today's world of smartphones. What you need to do is just run an Exchange server.

try this, http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
I'm not sure if they support android 4.0 yet, but I have used it to sync palm desktop to android, outlook to android, and everything else in between. It isn't free, but if you really only need to do it once, you get a 14 day trial.

For calendar try "Google Calendar Sync" and set it both way and 120 minutes. It will sync outlook to google calendar every 120minutes. then you just click sync(if you don't have enabled auto sync) on phone and phone will sync calendar automaticly...
Only issue for me now is Contacts. Currently I have on Desire contacts synced by outlook and linked them to facebook that I have people images does Nexus support linking contacts?
Im long time ago try CompanionLink to sync contact's to HTC TyTn II with Android(If I remember right version 1.6) and it is fu*** all my contacts in outlook(remove international calling codes and some other things)... Also Im need to install some application on phone and sync take loooooong(It is pack all contacts, calendars on phone and transfer them by usb to pc, then pc analyze data and send back updates)...
If Im right this app from CompanionLink will be right for us:
http://www.companionlink.com/google/outlook/
All we need is sync Outlook to google. But this app cost 50USD. This is to much. Im spend €644 EUR(£530.27 GBP) for phone and now I must buy app to sync contacts? No way Cheaper HTC Desire(It cost £407 GPB) more than one and half year ago have Sync functionality with outlook included...

yes I do sync calendar a few times a day, not every day but few days a week I have to do it, (busy schedule with many people with to many bloody meetings lol) yes I do have a cable to sync like the old days of pocket PC (am I that old ?) OK I have no idea how to do it with Exchange ActiveSync, I am going to Google it, if you have any links to some good sites I would a appreciated it,
thanks
Question ...
I thought of a possible solution but would love confirmation.
For purposes of at least a one time transition of the data from outlook (contacts / calendar) to GMAIL which would then be used on the Nexus, is there a way I can use my Droid Incredible as the middleman?
Since the data is already in the Incredible, is there a way to push it onto GMAIL, and then have the Nexus (if it ever comes out, and I don't get the Rezound instead of waiting for inifinity) pick it up?
Thanks
