Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, as the HTC website talks about having all your news in one place and the benefit that it syncs with Google Reader, I just wanted to see the proper way to set it up, if you can that is.
Are you able to sync Google Reader with HTC News widget?
I had previously exported the feed from Google Reader but as I want to read and add on the go, I would like it to sync new feeds straight back to my Google account instead of having to always use Google Reader app as it does not have a nice handy widget.
If it is possible, do I just need to add Google Reader and activate the sync to run in the background and HTC News will pick it up or will I just meet a dead end.
Thanks
I found that Reader app overwrote the News app's read/unread item states. Now I have only one of them enabled (HTC News app).

not of a fan of Android NEWS
What other (free or paid) would you recommend?
thanks
I agree.
I'm using BeyondPod as I can sync it with Google Reader so it makes managing them a lot easier. The name comes from the fact that it also automatically downloads podcasts that are part of the RSS feeds you are subscribed to.
now if I can find a way to export my RSS links from SPB insight/NEWS to a new RSS app for Android.
Stupid SPB software allows you to import through OPML but not export.
Do I have to manually enter 25 RSS links ???
If you're using Google Reader you should take a look to NewsRob, it's great!
NewsRoom works well.
FeedR is working well for me, syncs with google reader well
I think the best one for use with Google Reader is NewsRob.
If you don't use Google Reader, I don't know...
Found FeedR just about now and sticking with it
Newsrob is what I use

If you're not a Google Reader user then NewsRoom is fantastic (hoping for Google Reader sync soon).
I gave up on RSS for Android until I came across NewsRoom... Wow! Excellent app.

+1 for NewsRob, has pretty much all the features you'd want (even in the free version!)
Hi all.
I'm looking for a little advice.
I currently use Outlook 2003 at work along side HTC Sync (HS) to sync my calendar entries to my Desire.
Is it possible to sync (only) the HS entries on my phone to a specific Google calendar? Ideally I'd like to sync the HS items into an online Google calendar just for work so I can see it online when I don't have my phone.
Happy to use an app if that's the only way...
By the way I can't use the Google Sync app for a couple of reasons; my company regards it as a security risk and it doesn't allow you to select the specific google calendar that you sync to - at least not as far as I know.
Thanks in advance.
Setting => Account & Sync => Add An Gmail Account => Sync Calendar
if u can't use this , there is a plugin for outlook that allows u to sync your outlook calendar & contacts , with Your Google Calendar & contacts ( if that's of any help ) , it's quite easy to find if u google it ...

Thanks Skywalker1726, but that's not quite what I meant.
My fault should have been clearer. I already have my phone set up for my google account but I have several calendars in that account.
As far as I can see I can't select a particular calendar to sync my Outlook items to. It looks like only Google calendar items can be changed.
I don't suppose you know the name of the outlook plugin? I tried googling for it and came across way too many dead beat apps.
Just to repeat I'm looking for a way (or a phone app) that allows my to select a specific google calendar for the items I have synced to my phone using HTC Sync.
Here is the link , Hope that helps !
Quite good but not quite right...

Thanks for the link and the suggestion.
unfortunately, it's "too similar" to the Google Sync tool and therefore my company think it's a security threat (I know there are worse things out there but go figure )
I suspect that I need something that works on my phone and allows me to select different calendars to sync back to.
Bump - any suggestions...?
Any suggestions?

If I'm understanding correctly you want your Outlook calendar to be synced "to the cloud" (in this case Google) which you can then access from your phone (or online when you don't have your phone).
I had a look and can't find any apps that will copy your phone calendar to a Google calendar. As you are using Outlook 2003 and can't use Google sync your options are a bit limited.
If your company uses Microsoft Exchange then you should already have remote access to your email / calendar on the web and you can also connect your Desire to this using the built in HTC calendar app. Your IT person should be able to get you set up fairly easily.
The only other solution I know of is to use a third party sync program - outlook 2003 doesn't support saving calendars in ical format (which you could have used as a manual workaround).
Sorry not to be more help...
Fair enough. Thanks for trying. Unfortunately my company are quite backward about their use if IT so pretty much any sync app or Exchange integration is out.

I am using gSyncIt. Not free, but it does the job between Google and Outlook. A lot of option to customize the sync, including several calendars.
Not sure what method it uses to sync, so maybe not working for you. But I know my company IT is as well in "stone age" and blocks nearly everything. But gSyncIt works.

Hi
Moving from HD2 Winmobile to Android DHD, I have the following newb question.
I like to copy the calendar from HD2 to the DHD not using anything like Synch SW or Google.calendar or similar.
I like to do it via Bluetooth but it does not work.
Any clever idea.
Thanks a lot and regards
Rolf
There's an app on the dhd called transfer data.......try that. It should import contacts nd calendar events....havent tried it though.
I really recommend you setup a Google account on your HD2 to sync your calendar and when you setup Android and Gmail account it will do the rest by itself.
I was in your shoes and this is what I have been doing now with calendar and contacts and it's so easy and works perfect, plus if anything were to happen like you lose your phone you won't have to worry since everything is backed up.
If your interested here is how to setup a GMail account to sync on your HD2:

Thanks for the hint. I tried last night and the app works find, however the app has predefined options and it does ONLY work for contacts. No calendar entries !
@ero22, the company pc is locked and we can't install anything
How about copy the file which contains the data 1:1 ?
does anybody knows the file Name ? Thanks

Quick noobish question. I just swapped from a sense rom to a asop rom and I am loving it. Only thing is I seem to find a way to sync my Facebook Calender to my phone. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks

There is a Facebook plug-in called fdCal. Install that to your profile. It will give you a url string that can be loaded into your Google calendar, and Google will pull your Facebookcalendar from this url. It also will stay updated. Since its in your Google calendar now all you have to do is sync your calendarto your Android phone. I apologize that my directions are a little vague but I did this quite some time ago. With the info gave you and some google searching you should be able to find a tutorial somewhere. Just remember fdCal is the key.
I used EboBirthday to sync my Facebook birthdays with my Google Calendar on my phone. It also syncs the birthdays with your contacts.
I know Facebook fell out with Google about data sharing and stuff.
But I thought currently that only affected Nexus S.. (and new handsets after that).
Just noticed that my desire (currently running 2.3.3) can't sync the facebook calender like it could before on 2.2...
Anyone know if that's by design now?
I would have liked the birthday information coming across even though I rarely use FB.
I guess if I can't get it across I'll export and import it into my google calender... but it was nice to have!
cheers
Hmmm
Extract Facebook events and upload to Google Calender
Do this using a laptop

that's exactly what I was thinking was my last resort.
Not that I can say the FB -> Android calender was any good - I had loads of issues with birthdays duplicating and not showing up, and some showing up from people I had defriended... but it saved me from exporting and importing!
just wondered if any updates to GB was kicking off this 'service' nowadays
