Exchange working in Mail, not showing up in Accounts and Sync

I am having some weird Syncing issues that I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered and solved.
I loaded up Fresh's 0.2 ROM and loaded up my programs and settings with Titanium. My Exchange account is working in the "Mail" program, but the weird thing is its not showing up in the "Accounts and Sync" menu or syncing with Calendar.
I tried to add an Exchange Activesync account in the Accounts and Sync menu and when I did the fields were already filled out with the correct settings (fields were locked). When I press done, it just kicks back to the menu asking what kind of account I want to add to Accounts and Sync.
Any ideas?

When you open the account through the "Mail" program, can you get into the settings? You might be able to delete it and add it back in through "Accounts and Sync".

[Q] How do you remove the "PC Sync" Calendar?

Does anyone know how to remove the "PC Sync" calendar from an Android phone (HTC Desire) created when you use the HTC Sync software?
I've disabled it so the entries don't show in my calendar but I think that other apps (Calendar Snooze in particular) is still picking it up.
Thanks in advance.

I'd be interested in this as well.

I've a very similar problem!
I'd like to set my calendar entries (and contacts) to default to the google calendar and to stop asking me which one I want to use!

There is no direct way to avoid P Sync.
You can do it indirectly as below
1. Open you outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2. Delete all the entries in active calendar of outlook.
3. Start sync now.
4. Now the entries in you mobile are completely removed.
5. Change the sync option in HTC Sync app for Calendar as NO.
6. Sync again. Verify that you mobile doesnot contain any outlook entries.
It done now.
You can restore outlook from the backup and continue....

thats bad answer as we cannot remove calneder enteries from computer just to keep them on mobile phone, need some good answer for removing pc sync option to keep google calender sync on desire hd

it's not a bad answer...think again
1. Open your outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2 to 6 as above
STEP 7 - RESTORE YOUR OUTLOOK CALENDAR FROM BACKUP

hey listen - i synchronised very first time my desire hd with computer via htc sync and desire has extracted all mine calender enteries including old ones which i also had deleted from computer, i factory resetted my desire hd and than i stopped using htc sync tried syncing with google account which i exported computer outlook and imported in google account. but doing that ways also PC sync option is still selected under calender settings which is making ma lyf difficult by kepping those old enteries which i did very first time!!
can someone help me out with a solution to remove pc sync while using google calender, also note that i have factory resetted my device and not connecting to computer anymore but still its showing me old enteries which i connected with computer very first time. Please help me out as this is really frustrating!!

Solved
Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.

Another solution
Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange

This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?

sync not working

hello all
got a problem with my unrooted,unbranded desire on uk voda pay monthly sim.
basically everytime i go to sync my google contacts i get the message "sync is currently experiencing problem it will be back shortly" now what makes this strange is that my wife and son both have desires same as myself and theirs sync fine. mine used to sync so am not too sure whats wrong or what to do

From your phone, log into your Gmail account where the contacts are stored. Once logged in go to the main menu on the device and select the contacts icon. Under contacts select the menu/options icon to bring up a list of available options. Under this list you will see an option for accounts. Select accounts, this will bring up all of the active e-mail accounts set up on the phone. Under the list of e-mail accounts select the Gmail account. Once the account is selected turn on the sync contacts option.
Now that the account is synced with the phone all of the contacts will be transferred to the device.

In my experience the above advice doesn't work as the sync in the phone is already set up and enabled and the only solution is to delete ALL contacts from the phone (including face book contacts) and start a fresh sync.

[Q] Contact sync

I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.

Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.

Sync Question

I can sync contacts from gmail to my phone but I cannot sync contacts from my phone to gmal?
I have tried deleting an re adding account no luck
Any ideas?

Check your Gmail settings on your google account using a full browser on PC.
The contacts toggle in your personal settings may be turned off.
Google has changed many things as of late, and settings will change without our knowledge....g

Where is this contact toggle you speak of ? I cannot seem to find it

On gmail my contacts have a check in my contacts box
But they sync from gmail to my note 2 but what is on my note 2 will not sync to gmail
this is frustrating lol

Is your " auto sync app data" box checked ?
Open your phone dialer application, and go into your settings within the app. It's under "accounts". And verify the box check. Its under your email address.
The auto sync interval is controlled by the general settings of the device I believe.....g
Edit: The auto sync controls all information being synced to your contacts and of course the opposite holds true....g
