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.

I believe the OP wants to sync to desktop Outlook as opposed to an exchange server.
Ah, my bad, sorry.
I posted a link to the software here in another thread:

Thanks for the info guys. I did try "Go ContactSync" as I heard great things about it. Unfortunately I got error after error. I think the culprit is Win 7 64bit - dont think it works on it
Anyway will go the HTC sync a go. Thanks for your help again!

There is an application that runs on the desktop called Companionlink that will use your Google account to sync with Outlook (inc. Tasks).
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.
Hallo,
I am also a newcomer to Desire HTC Sync/outlook 2003. I have downloaded the latest htc version and installed. Everything working fine (basic calender and contacts) except:
1. The contacts are synced on the prename instead of the lastname, although in outlook on last name.
2. I have in the contacts submenus. How do I sync those?
Could somebody help me?

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'
Hey guys...Just wondering if Google Sync will work with our WP7 devices. I know it worked for Windows Mobile. Ideas?
Thanks.
Pulling two bits of information together, WP7 supports Exchange Activesync, and Google's support for Exchange Activesync is published here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139652
...which amounts to a "yes", although from memory I thought that they only supported Calendar sync for WP7. Still, I could have remembered wrong or they may have improved things... or I might be right. (I only read it last week.)
You emails will of course sync via the standard mail protocols (I assume).
I mainly concerned with getting all my Google contacts.
If you configure your Google account as an Outlook account in WP7, then it will pull your emails, contacts, tasks and calendar (or your choice of those four) onto your phone really easily.
I have another question. Does Outlook Connector support for sync contact pictures to the Hotmail account? Because when I try to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with Hotmail (for WP7 Exchange Activesync), then contact photos are not synchronized

Not tasks. There is no concept of "tasks" in WP7.

Hello, I have read the above entries, but am still stuck. I have entered my google mail details by selecting the google account option, then have select contacts in the settings, but it still wont sync my contacts, what am I doing wrong?
I want to sync tasks with Google. I am unable to find that option.. Please help...Thank you
tasks in general are not supported natively. you have to find an application to do it. i have seen an article a few days back on it, but i can't seem to dig it up.

there is no need to set it up like that. simply setup google as google and just whatever you choose will be synced. you can check several option after setup when you tap on that account.

Have been delving into the murky world of online calendars a fair bit recently.
I've discovered that there are lots of cool online calendar services, and have availed myself of some...
Facebook - you can export all your facebook events as an iCal and then subscribe to it in Hotmail and/or Outlook
Tripit - the travel website that creates itineraries for you automatically when you forward them your booking confirmation emails. It can also publish the itineraries as iCals to add to your Hotmail / Outlook.
Icalshare.com - has loads of iCals, such as moon phases etc.
The great thing about these iCals is Hotmail/Outlook synchronizes with them, so, for instance, if you attend a new facebook event, it will automatically appear in your calendar without you having to do anything.
Herein lies the issue, though. When you add your hotmail calendar or your google calendar to your WP7 device, you only get the default calendar, i.e. the one you manually add your own events to. Your Tripit, Facebook, Birthdays, Holidays, Moon Phases and any other calendar feeds in hotmail or Gmail will NOT sync to your phone.
I've been trying to find a service that can aggregate all your calendars into one, so that you can set up WP7 to sync it, but with no luck thus far.
I'm hopeful that WP7 will soon be able to sync multiple calendars from one hotmail/gmail account, which would solve all my problems.
But until then, there doesn't seem to be a workaround, other than manually copying all the calendar entries over from the feeds in Outlook into your hotmail calendar, which is a pain. It's OK to do a once-per-year copy for holidays, moon phases etc., but things like Facebook Events and Tripit journeys update far more often.
There is a site called mashical.com which does indeed aggregate all your calendar feeds into one, but how on Earth do you get that onto your phone?
Maybe someone needs to write an App to present an alternative Calendar on your phone, together with a live tile, that can show your mashed icals.
food for thought eh?
I definitely agree. I've read of people using separate calendars with multiple hotmail accounts to sync but I don't want to have to log in to 4 accounts to sync my calendars.
In the meantime.. I had to manually add all my calendar events to one Google calendar until resolved, which is a pain.
Hoping for a fix also or an improved 3rd party calendar app.

Thing is, multiple Windows Live accounts doesn't work, as you cannot make a subscribed calendar the "primary" calendar for a windows live account, and it's only the primary calendar that gets synced.

It won't be the primary calendar. However, if you have 3 different hotmail accounts, (assuming a calendar with seperate events in for each account) you can add all accounts to your phone and chose the option to sync each individual calendar..All the events would show under the one calendar in your wp7
For example, I added 1 hotmail account, 1 live account, 1 google account. Each Account has it's own calendar with its own data in it. In my wp7...all the events from all the calendars sync to the one wp7 calendar. Crude method but it works.
On you wp7, it will simple show as Live Account 1, Live Account 2, etc. regardless if it was Hotmail or Live. If I misunderstood your reply, I appologize in advance.
On google calendar, you can import a ical or excel calendar file into your main calendar and merge them.

Yes but it's a one-off import - any changes to the subscribed calendar do not make it into your main google calendar. So if you get a new Facebook event through, you would have to manually add it to your main calendar, which kinda defeats the point of icals - it's supposed to be an automated service.

Yes but you would end up with just multiple primary calendars, and primary calendars cannot contain ical entries, so that doesn't fix the problem at all, sorry!

Hi, I had the same problem. If you create an alternate Google calendar account there is a solution. Export your secondary calendar (school or work or whatever) and import it into youralternate Google account. Then via the alternate Google account, share that calendar with your main google account.
Add the alternate Google account to your wp7 phone and set to sync only calendar. Now your phone will have multiple calendars, and you only need to access your main Google account since the calendars are shared. I have 3 calendars working on my hd7.

This has already been suggested. The import is a one-off, so updates to the ical DO NOT go through into the primary google calendar. So new Facebook events, for example, would not get imported from the facebook ical into google. That's why it's a no-go, sadly. We need a way of integrating icals without having to do a manual one-off import. Importing is OK for icals that don't change (such as moon phases) but for dynamic icals like facebook and tripit, it's pretty much useless.
Hey Jim how about this?
Subscribe on outlook
download Google calendar sync
and set that calendar to sync every once in a while.
i'm pretty sure that's how i've set it up...it's been a while!
let me know how that goes
i'm not sure i understand the problem, but:
i have 4-5 gmail accounts, only sync one with my phone. the wife, the family, and a few friends subscribe to this calendar. they also share THEIR gmail calendars with me. then there are some additional iCal's i subscribe (share) to, and it's fairly simple. After someone updates an event, it shows up. I'm assuming it's like a push email ? Dunno, got me.
Maybe it's trying to use the different clients that's causing the problems ?
