i wanted to know if when i sync my google account to joi market place, if i also have to put my active exchange sync to my gmail account also. ive had it like this on my HOX since i got it but now i noticed that in contacts under edit options, contacts appear to have the same info for exchange and sync. so i checked and saw exchange syncs mail contacts calendar tasks, as does google sync.
so i was wondering if i could just disable exchange and stay with a google sync and have other accounts like hotmail linked to hotmail account and ignore active sync
ty in advance

Not sure why but only calendar and email sync. I have my google setup as a domain host so my login is not actually a gmail account, although I have one of those too. Any ideas how to get this working?
thanks
I'm getting mighty confused by these multiple calendars that have appeared on my device and getting them to sync with my Google calendar.
Here's my set up. I have all contacts and calendars on my Google account before I started. I set up my Desire to sync with them using Google account.
All seemed fine but I found the Gmail app on Desire pretty limiting so I set up an Exchange activesync account linked to my gmail account for my mail (always worked well on my HD) and set it to sync calendar and contacts too. I then disabled all the syncing through the google account to avoid complications.
Unfortunately the exchange account doesn't seem to be configured for push and has no option to change this but that's not why I'm here.
Coming from WM, I'm used to having one calendar that is in sync between Outlook on PC, Google calendar and mobile device.
When I co to calendars on my Desire now I have no less than 4:
My Calendar
xxx @ gmail.com
Exchange
PC Sync
What's going on here? Which is which? So far HTC Sync connects but will not swap any contacts or calendar items with device and vice versa. Nor do appointments I add to the device show up on Google Calendar.
I suspect that this is because these different profiles seem to be associated with one platform - outlook / google / desire - or another.
Can anyone shed any light?
Many thanks, M1.
For anyone else trying to work this out there is a useful (bit old) thread here:

It seems you need to be careful which calendar you add entries too if you want them to sync with cloud mail - I unticked the box next to My Calendar so now entries I add on the Desire default to the google account calendar and sync as expected.
Now have to get to grips with the PC Sync calendar and work out why none of my events and contacts are syncing with out look. Sigh - it's just another learning curve i guess ...

Push can be enabled under the Exchange ActiveSync Settings. It defaults to every 10 minutes, there's a Push Mail option.

Untick them all except Exchange and you'll just see Calendar entries updated by Exchange. I don't have an Exchange option incidentally, so just untick them all and it still shows.
xx @gmail.com is using the Google Sync interface but you said you dislike the Gmail App. PC Sync is for using HTC Sync via Outlook. This is really for non-Google Calendars/people locked into using Outlook. As you're using Google, you're better off updating direct from Google.
You can in theory use Exchange ActiveSync for E-Mail and Google for Calendar/Contacts or visa versa but obviously it makes more sense to use one method or the other. As Gmail supports Exchange ActiveSync, there is basically crossover between using Exchange ActiveSync (and the HTC Mail App) or Google Sync (and the Gmail App).

I presume, so you have them in Outlook too? Don't bother.
I use GSyncit to update Outlook. This talks directly to Google and gets Contacts/Calendar. It's well worth the $10-15. For me it goes:
* Outlook to Google via GSyncit: Both ways
* Google to HTC Desire via Exchange ActiveSync (or Google Sync if I prefer): Again both ways
I am having a nightmare getting HTC Sync to synchronize contacts and calendars with the Desire.
Here's where I'm at - and I'm guessing here so confirmation would be most welcome - all the entries currently on my desire were synched from my Google account.
When I try to sync with Outlook nothing is transferred as it sees no entries on the phone.
I just went to create a new contact on the phone to see if this would help and I notice that I have the option to create it in different accounts:
1.Google
2.SIM
3.Phone
I originally synced all my contacts from Google online so presumably they are in the 1.Google account on the phone.
Ergo - they're not in the 3.Phone account - which I bet is what HTC Sync syncs with Outlook.
I really can't get my head around all these accounts and calendars on the Desire - I just want 1 that syncs with everything.
Can anyone let me know if I'm on the right track and - if you understand all these Android accounts - advise me on how to configure this so that Google and Outlook are syncing the right/same stuff?
I assume that this would involve getting HTC Sync to sync the 1.Google account and not the 3.Phone account but I'm fishing here ..
Many thanks for any suggestions - tearing hair out.
Hi!
I have been searching an answer for this but haven´t found anything. I would like to sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks betwen my phone, google account and exchange server.
For example, if i add a contact or event to my phone´s calendar/contacts i would like it to automaticly sync to my exchange server account and also my google account.
Is it possible ? If yes, how ?
I have both accounts on my phone but when i create an event i have to choose were to sync.
Also i would like that the contacts and events i currently have on my phone were synced to exchange.
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1-buzz. i use an Exchange email/account for my work and gmail for personal. I can see fine the Gmail side of things but the Exchange calendar doesn't show up in the settings so I can't see any events from that account. Also in the Account & sync settings it does not display my exchange account under Manage accounts.
Anyone help me out?

Maybe I can help.
From your PC or normal internet you need to log into your Google account and link your exchange Calender etc etc to your Google account and then from your phone you will be able to choose which accounts to sync/show. I can't give great detail as it was a long time ago I had to do this but for Facebook Calender sync so can't recall exactly what the process is. Hope it helps though? Regards Slymobi.

Thanks for the tip, but that method I'll have to export my Exchange cal and then import it into Gmail - that way I won't be able to edit my events with have to redo the export from exchange etc etc.
Cheers anyway
