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 !
Hey all ! Questions for the lucky ones with Evos already in hand out there.
It's unfortunately mission critical to me to be able to sync my phone with my MS Outlook contacts / calendar / notes (appointments, reminders, etc) and so on. Not running an exchange server... Just need to be able to sync my Outlook personal data every night. It's a work thing, you see...
Anyone out there in the same situation and with experience to share ? How well and reliably does the HTC Sync software work, in general, and more specifically with the Evo ?
Thanks !

Well the website for HTC Synch doesn't even show it supports the EVO yet and it also shows it only supports Outlook 2000.

It doesn't only support 2000, it only says the latest version (2.0.33) supports 2000 - it previously wasn't the case.
Also, given that v2.0.33 supports the Incredible and the fact that I've read a couple times that HTC Sync actually comes with the EVO (on the SD card - EVO owners, what say you?), I don't think it's a stretch to assume it probably works with the device... All I want to know is how well HTC Sync works and how reliable & seamless the sync is; if EVO users have experience with it, then it's ideal and I'd love to hear !

You are probably right
I would also like to know this...
I use outlook 2007 and use it for my calendars, tasks, and contacts....
will this work for me? Thanks
I have the same issue and don't like the HTC sync tool. messes with other things. I sync the contact manually with Google contacts once a month. i do this with a CSV file. I then loaded Googles calendar sync app which syncs my Work outlook calendar to my Google Calendar.
I created a second Google caledar which i use as my person calendar to keep them seperate.
Not pretty but works and is not phone or brand dependant
Google Calendar has a tool on its website ( dub-dub-dub-dot google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955 ) to sync with Outlook automatically. I know it does Calendar, but I'm not sure about Contacts. I'm pretty sure I've seen something for Calendar contacts.
The phone will automatically sync with your Google Calendar and Contacts.

That's great guys but I'm not looking for workarounds through Google Calendar - I don't use Calendar, or Gmail. Putting my data in the cloud would breach confidentiality agreements with clients, unfortunately. So I need to know how well the straight-up PC to phone sync works... Until now I've been with WinMo (on HTC, of course) since it just works so seamlessly (well, the synching part), but I'm way overdue for a jump to Android...

I am also making the switch from WinMo to Android, here is what I did to "sync" my contacts. I am not sure what I am going to do in the future, but mine don't change much anymore (4 years of working with outlook contacts, they are pretty up to date).
Sync'd phone with Outlook Contacts
Used PIM Backup to backup Contacts
Established OTA sync with Google (selected contacts only). This will remove contacts from phone.
Restored Contacts using PIM Backup
They then Sync'd with Google Contacts.
You might want to delete all your contacts on Google first or make sure you setup what has priority for the sync in the direction you want. Only takes about 10 minutes and ALL info is then sync'd properly.
HTC Sync 2.0.33 works fine with EVO. It can sync Outlook Contacts and Calendar items. Despite the fact HTC sync application says you can only sync Outlook 2000/2003/2007 I'm using Outlook 2010 and it works fine. Automatic/manual sync options are configurable. It's more stable than microsoft's active stink...err sync, or windows mobile device center.
on the SD card
HTC Sync 2.0.31 is included on the EVO sd card - works fine for me with contacts and calendar on Outlook 2007 - a little slower than active sync but it works and I'm happy with it.
I'm running XP

There is a new version made for the EVO on HTC website. It is version HTCSync2.0.35.
Here is the link:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads#209
Thanks everybody ! Awesome to hear that it works well, especially on 2010 - that was one of my worries, since it's also what I'm running. Sweet !
outlook 2010 beta does not synch- even w 2.0.35
running win7 64bit & office 2010 beta, outlook 2010 does not show up in HTC Synch as a application w contacts or calandar available to sysnch (will only show the built-in windows contacts app as compatible.
Someone in this forum said it works, but does not say how, also, perhaps they are using the non-beta newly released profession version only available to corp accounts right now????? (consumers can't get RTM until June 14th).
Do I wait til June 14th and hope the RTM works, or does anyone have a work-arround?
Solutions for Outlook Sync
check out the following two solutions. they are both pay to play but will allow a 14 day demo period. Companionlink is a pretty decent google sync that uses google gmail for a conduit. I was skeptical but it does a great job. Seamless with the exception of Outlook notes. It even updates all contact notes etc. Calendar and task sync through google calendar. So far works pretty good. The second program was just was released this a.m. it is from dataviz, and is called roadsync 2.0. It uses exisiting htc contact, mail interface, but uses stand alone, tasks, calendar interface. This seems pretty decent as well just not as used to going to a second program for calendar. It is about a third of the price of the companionlink alternative.
using htc sync off the memory card... syncs great with calendar and contacts of outlook 2003. Wish wish wish it had notes... but with capacitive - is there even a decent notepad app?
People hate on me all the time for this - but sometimes I miss winmo (omnia or x51V)... was a little more mature and business oriented and tied in to outlook/office:
+synced great with outlook (contacts, calendar, email, NOTES - even with audio)
+whole operating screen would to go HDTV/Projector/monitor/tv through VGA or composite
+WMV/MPG/DIVX/XVID... all seemed to just work (TCPMP love!)
+Text to speech didn't sound like Hal while boards being slowly removed...
+Speech recognition - Voice Commander was TITS!!! LOVED IT. Handsfree!
+any bluetooth Keyboard, some mice - my laser keyboard all worked great!!! HID or SPP
+windows/startup let me easily kill off any task I didn't feel was necessary...
there was no amazon MP3 or other **** that felt it NEEDED to be ready to run at any moment if I didn't want it.
+ROOT out of the box!? Sometimes I think - would people really buy a computer if it only came with user and not admin permissions? and they couldn't delete bloatware and stuff?
+SDIO/CFIO? expansion possibilities - REALLY? an SD or even mini is too big?
+CF 32GB + SDHC 32GB = 64?!?
+IR (how fun is that at sports bars and magnolia/best buy, CES?)
+Fully functioning Office - word/excel/pp ... out of the box!
+RD/TSC
+WM mediaplayer(which had it's faults) DRM ecosystem... worked... so you could do rhapsody/amazon vod and stuff...
...
OK - sorry - I've vented. I'm done. X51V love forever! 6.5.3 was sweet! Screw you Dell and MS for killing a great system.

I'm in a similar situation...
Running Win7 x64, Outlook 2010 x86
HTC Sync v 2.0.40 syncs my Outlook contacts with no problem, however I keep getting errors attempting to sync the calendar...
Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't give me any real error message. I did a quick pass and could not locate any error logs either.
Any help? Was hoping this would be as seemless as ActiveSync/WMDC and I could avoid 2 to 3-step syncing.

This isn't my program.
I use this for 2 days and I love it.
This is all what you need to sync with outlook (in my case)
Exchange 2003 Sync (2007/2010)
Hi,
thanks for the hint.
I use mine with Exchange 2003 SP2(!) and Android support this with out
any extra App. (I found this out after i did a long travel to the available Apps for this).
Important is at Exch.2003 the SP2! (2007 and 2010 should work for sure)
Then it works with SSL via Exchange-Active-Sync. Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
Just add a new Account in Email with the Exchange Server Details.
I was surprised, it worked after 20 Sec. of configuration.
With all the App's (for this) i had minor and major troubles.
This only for all who need this simple and easy.

I'm having trouble getting the program to see that I am connected through wifi or usb. Any suggestions (just went through the usb drivers stuff in another thread)

Wifi didn't work for me too.
Is the USB (ADB drivers) working correctly, check device manager.
Which OS are you using?
The ADB with windows 7 isn't stable. I have to update the ADB drivers each time when I connect the device.
Another sync application for Outlook is Android-Sync.
http://www.android-sync.com/
This application is much faster then MyPhoneExplorer but in the current release (0.195a) it can only sync the contacts and 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.
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.
