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'
Does anyone know how to remove the "PC Sync" calendar from an Android phone (HTC Desire) created when you use the HTC Sync software?
I've disabled it so the entries don't show in my calendar but I think that other apps (Calendar Snooze in particular) is still picking it up.
Thanks in advance.
I'd be interested in this as well.

I've a very similar problem!
I'd like to set my calendar entries (and contacts) to default to the google calendar and to stop asking me which one I want to use!
There is no direct way to avoid P Sync.
You can do it indirectly as below
1. Open you outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2. Delete all the entries in active calendar of outlook.
3. Start sync now.
4. Now the entries in you mobile are completely removed.
5. Change the sync option in HTC Sync app for Calendar as NO.
6. Sync again. Verify that you mobile doesnot contain any outlook entries.
It done now.
You can restore outlook from the backup and continue....
thats bad answer as we cannot remove calneder enteries from computer just to keep them on mobile phone, need some good answer for removing pc sync option to keep google calender sync on desire hd
it's not a bad answer...think again
1. Open your outlook and make a back up of your Calendar.
2 to 6 as above
STEP 7 - RESTORE YOUR OUTLOOK CALENDAR FROM BACKUP
hey listen - i synchronised very first time my desire hd with computer via htc sync and desire has extracted all mine calender enteries including old ones which i also had deleted from computer, i factory resetted my desire hd and than i stopped using htc sync tried syncing with google account which i exported computer outlook and imported in google account. but doing that ways also PC sync option is still selected under calender settings which is making ma lyf difficult by kepping those old enteries which i did very first time!!
can someone help me out with a solution to remove pc sync while using google calender, also note that i have factory resetted my device and not connecting to computer anymore but still its showing me old enteries which i connected with computer very first time. Please help me out as this is really frustrating!!
Solved
Clear calendar storage data in Settings>Applications. Delete your mail account (if you have exchange or something) and re-add. Google is still fine. Then re-sync OTA.
Another solution
Better late than never... Try: Settings > Apps > All > Calendar Storage > Clear Data. Then just re-sync all your calendars except the PC Sync/Exchange
This sadly does not work for me on my Lenovo M7 tablet. The 'PC Sync' account remains despite me clearing the calendar storage data. Is it tied to some other app?
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...

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,

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've just bought a new Samsung Note II GT-N7100 (Android version 4.1) and I am having issues when it comes to synchronise my Ms Outlook Calendar.
1. The application that I am using from the device is the S Planner - which is already installed on the device;
2. Application that I am using on my laptop Ms Office 2007;
3. Exchange Server backend 2003.
When I first synchronised the device with the calendar seemed to be working fine. But the issue is when I have a calendar appointment and one of my delegates changes the time or the duration of the appointment, the Samsung does not reflect the changes that were made.
Now I have another issue the calendar is not displaying new appointments both if entered from my laptop either entered from my device. Is like I am seeing an old snap-shot of my calendar.
I tried to made various troubleshooting (Deleted outlook profile from the device and re-configured, Tried to install 3rd Party Applications) but problem still persists.
Your help is much appreciated, since I do not know where to place my head at this stage.

Sounds like you simply imported the calendar and didn't set it to synchronize.
If you simply import it, it will literally take a snap-shot of your calendar, put it into the new calendar and do absolutely nothing else (it won't sync).
I've got both my school calendar and google calendar synced to my Note II (Also using S-Planner) and they work fine.
First of all thanks for the reply.....
from the sync options, I've set it up as peak and off peak to Push but to no avail....
do you have any more ideas, what this issue can be!
thanks once again

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.
