hey there,
i'm pretty new to the dhd...and also android
my brother got an iphone 4 some days ago...
we both had a wm handset before and synced our email account from outlook with the device. it copied all the mails and so on.
but now we have the same problem: it seems that ios and android dont have that option. am i wrong?
i think the only option is imap, pop3 is not really working with htc sync..any advice?
thanks guys

The DHD comes with HTC Sync which supposely syncs with Outlook. This is what I wanted (for contacts and Calendar) but found there were problems with it (can't remember exactly what now). So I looked around and came to MyPhoneExplorer ... see ... http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ .... very useful forums there as well. Oh, and I see you're from Germany too so the website/forums will be even more useful to you!
I read/reply to email via the DHD but don't download my archived mails, my PC is used for that purpose, so haven't looked into a solution for that part of your query.

Ok thanks i take a look
but I think my only chance is IMAP...

I have recently purchased the HTC Desire HD and its an amazing phone. So glad to be away from Apple - amazing to have so much control over my phone again.
I have rooted, installed Android Revolution - and I am currently trying to find ways to improve my battery life - thanks to all the great posts on here about that, I have spent ages reading and tweaking the phone. The best thing is however I can carry round spare batteries! Good bye iPhone
Anyway I have a slight problem that I think is related specifically to the HTC. I have a Google Apps Domain account. I have set up the Gmail Sync for Contacts / Calendar - but the sync is only one way. So all changes online from my laptop change the contacts on the phone but not the other way round? E-mail syncs fine as well... just not calendar / contacts - I have seen problems online with Gmail accounts - but not with Google Apps accounts - do you guys have any ideas?
Cheers

Clear data of any google applications from setting may help.

And let it resync? Won't I loose all the new data off the phone??
Cheers
anyone got any more ideas on this one?

Weird...you have it set to sync manually or automatically? Also check what google synchronizes under accounts and sync...see if contacts and calendar are there. I ve never had any problems
hey thanks for getting back to me... I have set it to auto sync in background, contacts checked - new ones come down to phone from account but when a new on on the phone is made - it doesn't go back up to Google Apps account

Hi,
this is an old topic, but I had exactly the same problem. Clearing the data and cache from Gmail totally helped. It resynced everything and it is working normal again. Thx for the idea jokies.
Wanted to share a recent discovery for syncing Andriod and Outlook (I am using 2007). Up until now I have been very disappointed in the various sync options for someone like me who is on a corporate network using Outlook and who has an IT group that does NOT allow syncing via cloud for any software that uses MSExchange server Active Sync, like RoadSync and TouchDown.
I have been using HTCSync which is not too, too bad, the big issue is that it messes up my phone #s like my (919) 123-4567 989 (this is the extension) after syncing with HTC was changed be to (919)123-4567989. I also had issues with syncing some Outlook appointments, especially recurring and also issues when a co-worker deleted an recurring appointment, it would not always allow me to delete this from my calendar. Bottom line...lots of weird stuff using HTCSync, but until now the only real USB sync option.
Add to this, I do prefer a USB sync option, yep USB and MOSTLY doing so w/o having to load a special software on my Andriod phone like Markspace or The Missing Sync or Companion Link require. I only want to use the integrated Andriod calendar and contacts programs NOT something special.
With all of the background, I strongly encourage anyone with similar needs, especially a USB sync option, please check out Andriod-Sync at this link
http://www.android-sync.com/
Amazingly, the cost is $0.00.
Also, if you want to see the various sync options check out this link
http://www.syncdroid.net/
Hope this is helpful for the XDA corporate guys that use Outlook, came from WM6.5 to Andriod 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and have been looking for a good USB and non IT controlled sync option.

NOTE: Mods I also posted in the Andriod Software Thread and also here given I have a Desire Z and this forum has been awesome to use to get my phone tweaked, ROMd and other stuff to where it is now. Hope this is ok. If not use DELETE.
For my calendar, I use google calendar sync and it has been flawless for me.

unfortunately this is not free anymore..
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
Hi all. I am currently having sync issues with my hotmail on the stock mail app. Previously I had it setup on the actuall hotmail app available in the play store but have decided to go back to the stock app. Now, I set my account up, all setup is fine but when it syncs no emails show up.
I go into the settings and sync settings, it is all on push (even tested with manual on) and then hit sync and it says currently having issues and will be back up shortly. It's said this for the last 2 days. I checked the hotmail servers and they are running fine. Many people I know aren't having any issues.
I set up my email as pop3 and that worked fine but obviously no push. It was syncing perfectly when I was using the hotmail app.
I have a feeling something has gone wrong when I rooted the phone a couple weeks back because no one else seems to be having this issue, all other apps are syncing fine and it syncs fine with the hotmail app. When I first got the phone I was using the stock mail app and it was working fine that's the only reason I say something could've gone wrong in the root, I dunno.
Has anyone had this problem before or no of what this issue could be and how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam.
