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

I am currently using my Xperia X1 and I use the Outlook calendar and contacts and sync between computer and phone daily(book appointments and meetings etc) and I was wondering if I can sync Outlook with the HTC Desire Android phone as I am about to upgrade from the X1 to the HTC Desire(possibly X10 if I can get a confirmed date for release of Android 2.1 update)
Yes you can, HTCSync (supplied with the Desire) can sync Contacts/Calendar with Outlook though I haven't used it extensively (I sync Outlook with Google then sync Desire/other devices with Google).

Hey how do you sync Outlook contacts and calendar with Google? Email works fine but cant find a good solution for contact/cal. Thanks
Forum won't allow me to post links, sorry.
For contacts Go ContactSync from webgear.co.nz
For Calendar, Google Calendar Sync
Not sure why you are discussing 3rd party solutions, when I set up my exchange mail account it also synced calendar and contacts.

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 !

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 !

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:

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).

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.

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.

Has the sync issue with Outlook 2010 64-bit been solved?
I am synchronizing the Desire's "PC calendar" with MS Outlook through HTC Sync.
However i see, that the custom ROMs based on Froyo (Android 2.2) don't include HTC Sync, as they are ported from Nexus One.
Is there any alternative solution for syncing the Android calendar directly with MS Outlook ?
For security reasons (my company doesn't like to post internal, including confidental , data on Google and making it in fact a public information) i can't use these methods:
- sync Outlook calendar with Google calendar directly through internet
- use Google calendar instead of Outlook calendar
- sync Desire calendar directly with Exchange server
Does anybody else have this issue ?
I don't understand why Google hasn't already addressed this issue. May be they don't wont to see the Android in corporate environment ?
In your situation I don't think so.
I had a problem syncing with Outlook but discovered by using Google calendar you can skip the outlook sync and have your calendar whenever you are when you log on,

As i wrote, i need to synchronize with the Outlook calendar in my work.
I can't really force may company (including all the 50.000 employees worldwide) to use Google calendar instead of Outlook calendar (MS Exchange).
There is no way to sync the Google calendar with my Outlook calendar, for security reasons (confidential data is sent in the Outlook invitations). The whole Google calendar is blocked in my company and i can't even connect the server (for security reasons).

The stock mail app has native Exchange support - or you can use Touchdown which is more feature rich. Google doesn't need to be involved - it's a secure (SSL) connection between your phone and your company's Exchange server.

As I mentioned before, the company Exchange policy doesn't allow direct syncing. For some reason only the access over https://owa.company.com/... is working.
Direct access from Android to OWA Exchange server doesn't work (some ambiguous error appears, probably the Exchange server prohibits this kind of connections at all).

I have tried Exchange for Android 2.0/ 2.1 from NitroDesk, Inc. and after much struggle it was able to detect correct settings for my corporate Exchange.
Apperently i can sync all the folders now (i am not completely sure, as i have played with this soft only for few hours), read email, sync calendar, private folders, notes etc.
It's only a 30 day trial, i hope the official Froyo 2.2 from HTC will come before the trial period expires and then i could use the updated Mail application with extended Exchange capabilities delivered by default in Android.

Regarding your first point I think when you are in your contact list and you press menu then settings you can change that (don't have my phone at the moment so can't check it on mine)
I have looked everywhere. I am not able to find in the menu the possibility to rearrange the sorting on lastname. This is perhaps somewhere in the general setup.
Can someone help me?
By the way, I purchased The missing sync. But this is to be discussed in a completely separate thread.

I use outlook 2010, (it's great) and I am not having this issue, the only place I can change this setting is not in my phone but in outlook 2010, go to file>Options>Contacts>names and filing>default "File As" make sure is says last,first
hope this helps
I am using Outlook 2003. The file is set as you have described. All my contacts are arranged in Outlook on the last name.
Perhaps there is really no way to get this arranged in Desire/HTC Sync. I could not find anything in the manual concerning this item.
Many thanks for your effort.
Just got my phone back today, but unfortunatly I'm not able to find the setting anymore. (you can change the display form of names frome first name last name to last name, first name but you can only do that when you edit the contacts name, which is way to much work for all your contacts)

Ditto!
Do NOT go for missing sync. Its very unprofessionally run and full of bus.
Ive had the product for about 6 months and they havent been able to fix my issues. Originally I had problems on Xperia X8 in that my contacts were being removed form the PC when synchronising.
Logged the issue with MarkSpace (which by the way appears to be a two man outfit). I would get a reply every so often to say a new version has been released and I should try it. When askign if the new version was actually a fix for my issue i was told no and that I should 'jut try it'. Good job I backed up my outlook data file first as it deleted my contacts again.
Eventually decided to change my phone and now have a different issue; missing sync is preventing google synchronisation. Also the contacts on my phone which were written to the phone from PC do not synchronise if I edit them. Not only that but if I edit a google contact on the phone that too does not synchronise with google.
These people dont seem to care that there are real users in the field with real data. Once again Im told to 'try the new version' - same result. Problem not fixed
Missing sync would have been better of 'Missing'
Hi, I hope you guys can help me out.
I got a new Desire and have set it up to sync from Outlook through HTC Sync. It do sync my appointments, but it don't update they.
Say if I move a meeting to another day or delete it completly. Even though it says is had done a sync, the meeting is still on the original date, and that is getting a bet anoying.
What can I do to solve this problem?
HTC sync is a dog
Maybe it's a dog, but that don't get me anyway, will it?
At least come with a solution to the problem, another app perhaps?
All it should be able to do, is syncing the calendar, contacts and tasks through a cabel.
Why do you need a cable ? Doesn't it sync all of that to the gmail account the phone's on ?
As I see it there is 3 ways to syncronize both the phone and Outlook.
* Cable
* Bluetooth
* By the normal phonesignal (eg. Exchange Activesync)
Exchange Activesync I don't need on a daily basis, cause I will get all from Outlook then (both appointments, contacts, tasks and mails), and it will use data transfer on my subscription to fast, as I haven't got a lot. Besides I think it uses to much batt.
Bluetooth uses to much battery also, but I can deal with that, if I could just find an app, that is free and can sync. both ways properly.
So now I'll settled with the cable, the upside is that it is getting charged at the same time.
The gmail solution is af no go. It is company policy not to use gmail, when we don't know what they may will do with the data transfered. Cause in my mind, they will log the data.
So I after an app that can sync properly, if not I can get HTC Sync to do it.
Does that clear things up a little?

Are you sure that contacts in outlook 2007 are sync-ing properly with your android phone using HTC Sync?
In my case the phone numbers stored in fields like "Car", "Radio", "Assistant" etc are not going to my android device.
I am using the latest HTC Sync v3.1.55.
Anybody with such issues?

I wouldn't know. Normally I just use the more regually fields like, mobil and direct, so haven't looked at that. But I do have trouble with names on contacts, as some gets there middlename removed, but I haven't found "the smoking gun" to solved this problem, either.
Basically I think HTC is cra..... in it's one food. Is there one thing HTC was known for in the past, was it made very good phones for the business consumer. Now they can't even make a decent syncing tool, for the business market.
HTC wake up and get in the match!!!
Don't use Outlook, use Google's products. Cloud computing FTW!
Take a look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative (free) to HTC Sync.
I advise to stop using htc sync.
Had troubles with is as well.
Some appointments had 5 identical entries.
Switched to google calendar instead, took me the sweet time to clear up the calendar though . . . . .

I can't use Google's Cloud products. Company policy, and there is still many issues with legal country policies maybe not being upholded. As long as it is not certain that using the Cloud doesn't do anything not legal, we can't use it.

It is very bad. Just today I found out that one of my contacts wasn't sync'ed properly. Very simple setup first name, sirname and phone numbers, but the first name wasn't sync'ed. But as long I haven't found anything better, I have to live with it, which leads me up to....

Can MyPhoneExplorer sync both appointments, contacts and tasks through USB, and do it way better than HTC Sync?
I guess it can. Just tried it, and think we are getting here, but do have some questions, maybe you guys can answer.
Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?
The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?
Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?
I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?
If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?
And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?

Just solved 3 of the above questions.
[1]Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?
I found an remove all button.
[2]The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?
I have changed it to just charge, and it seems to work.
[3]Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?
I also here found a remove all buttton, and then did another sync.
So we are down to these questions

Myphoneexplorer is equally BAD. (Rather I would rate it worse than HTC Sync).
The fields like "car", "Radio", "Pager", "Asistant" are still not Sync-ed.
Hi there,
I have upgraded from a HTC Touch Pro II to the new HTC HD7 phone.
Looks great and the menu's are spot on. I like everything about the beast apart from the fact that it wont sync with outlook.
Or will it?
Could anyone help me please
...of course you can sync your WP7 phone with Outlook. Only it works differently.
Check for "WinLive Solutions"....
FTC
You can also just use the Outlook connector for Live Mail. This will allow you to use Outlook on your computer and still sync your phone with the cloud. You can use all features of Outlook with this add-in.

Hi pal, just try the following, works really great! Guide: How to easily transfer your Windows Mobile contacts to your Windows Phone 7 device
http://windowsphone7central.com/news/guide_how_to_easily_transfer_your_windows_mobile_contacts_to_your_windows_phone_7_device-11-09-10.php
I've downloaded Outlook Connector and was able to sync my calender and contacts to my Windows Live account. But it looks like just an initial sync. If I add a new appointment in my Outlook Calendar I have to copy it to the Windows Live calendar that is in Outlook to sync with the online account and then phone.
I was using android for awhile and used Gmail sync which you could set 1 way or 2 way sync with how long you want between syncs.
Does the Outlook Connecter do this and I'm just not seeing how to set it up properly?
with the outlook connector you've got a new calender in outlook. you should have (a minimum of) two calendars after setting up the connector and you can choose which one to display. to copy all appointments to the cloud go to your offline calendar, mark all, copy, go to the live calendar and paste. after that just use the live calendar for all and will automatically sync with your phone
Also, if you set your default mailbox delivery location to the Windows Live account in Outlook account preferences, Outlook will use your Live calendar as your default calendar.
