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 !

[Q] How do I sync/merge contacts and calendar using windows phone 7 from two sources

Hi there,
I used to have a windows mobile 6.5 device. I sychronised over the air with exchange for work, contacts, calendar, email and notes and then at home via activesync and usb cable between the same phone and my home pc.
This meant that my phone, home and work machines had calendar and contacts in sync.
I have purchased a new Windows Phone 7 device.
For home I have configured the home outlook to sync with windows live. I have set the phone up to sycn with both windows live and with my work exchange account.
On my phone I can see contacts from either source (work exchange or home outlook) However this is displayed as being from the source accounts and will not merge/sync through to the other account.
I would like to (and used to be able to with 6.5) for example add a new contact in outlook, have it then sync to windows live (working) then sync to phone (working) then sync to exchange (not syncing contacts added elsewhere back to exchange). I would also like to be able to do the oposite (add something to exchange account and have it appear on home account via syncs.
Does anyone have some ideas, suggestions, solutions?
Please feel free to ask questions if I have not been clear.

from what i can see, you can link contacts but not merge them completely.
the only way i've been able to do it is to edit the contact details and save them to the appropriate account...but i wouldn't do it for all my contacts..
best bet would be to do it on the computer. can't you sync outlook to your work exchange and then sync your phone to outlook?

Hey there,
thanks for the response. unfortunately i can't sync home outlook direct to exchange, we have ip security for access.
It used to work a treat under win mo 6.5 this is a real backward step.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated.

Outlook Calendar

I have a published Outlook Calendar, does anyone know if there is a way to sync it with the HTC calendar? My work doesn't have a exchange but it'd be nice to have all the calendars synced.
thanks!

You can use HTC Sync that comes with the phone, though I had problems with it and now use MyPhoneExplorer. If you haven't synced with a desktop calendar yet make sure you enter at least one entry onto the phone's calendar first or the sync won't happen.

I'm not trying to sync with a computer, I want to be able to sync with a web calendar which is just a ics file hosted remotely.

OK. MPE will sync with a local or remote 'ical' file. Go check it out at ... http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ ... and see if it'll do what you want. Their forums are quite responsive so ask there if not sure.

I realise that this does not fully answer your needs but you may find this info of use and it could well highlight some useful workarounds if needed.
You may find the info on calendar syncing here of help: http://www.tripit.com/uhp/calendarInfo#google. I have my HTC HD2 (with Android) syncing with Google Calendar and then sync my home PC Outlook 2007 2-way with Google Calendar. For this latter sync I use the free Google Calendar sync tool here: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955
For me this works perfectly. If you use Outlook then do not forget that you can add a remote calendar to that - using the Google sync tool may then achieve what you want.
I find my solution works well because I have my calendar anywhere - on my phone, at home and online so even a dead phone means my calendar is to hand.

[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

Question pixel 6 pro and outlook DESKTOP sync

thinking of coming across from my Samsung SG20 and i like how i can sync my desktop outlook calendar to it via smart switch. does this pixel pro have somethin like that? i DO NOT want to use GMAIL. i want to sync my desktop outlook calendar. cant find anything on the interwebs....
thanks

Use Outlook mobile? But I guess you don't want that either?

Use "MyPhoneExplorer"!
I use it to sync my Company Outlook with my phone´s calender and contacts.
Be careful in wich direction the first sync works... you could delete one side!
After that it works flawless...

+1 I use it also for my work calendar since there is no other way. As mentioned, pay attention to the synchronization setup.

To sync calendars, you will either need a host service (basically any email service provider that supports either Microsoft Exchange or CalDAV), or a service running on the computer you want to sync from (plus access to the computer from the phone, so things like ngrok, or a VPN - not talking about commercial VPN services that make you appear you're browsing from another country, but an actual, proper VPN that creates a virtual local network, or e.g. ZeroTier).

Haven't seen anyone clamoring for this feature since the WinMo days.

I've been using companion link for outlook desktop for years. i'm still on the original version 7 and it works great with most recent outlook and my p6p. They're on version 9 or 10 now but 7 works for me so I've not upgraded it.
It called deja office now not companion link.

Slightly off-topic, but if you want to sync your Outlook work calendar with a Gmail calendar, look at Gsyncit. It can sync Outlook cals to several different programs. It won't sync mail, but it works great on cals. It's automatic, (you can have it sync anytime a cal entry is updated), and runs in the background. It's pretty cheap too. It's how I get my work cal on my phone without installing all the MDM my company requires.
