When the new version of Gmail came out, users started having issues importing contact files that were exported from MS Outlook. The biggest issue, and one I just ran into, was that street addresses weren't coming in. Everything else was, but not physical address info.
I researched it in GoogleGroups and found the solution. At the top right of the Gmail inbox page is the option 'Older Version', click it and do the import of your contact CSV file, everything comes over as it should. Afterwards, click the same link (now labeled 'Newer Version').
If you've used the Anniversary or Birthday date fields in your contact records, there is no equivalent in Google Contacts -- but the dates do come over in the Contact Comments, and are labeled. Google Contacts doesn't have 'categories' (they have 'groups'), so any you've assigned in Outlook come over into the Contact Comments as well; would be better if catergories came across as groups -- but -- oh well
Sync MS Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar App
There is a program that lets you sync your calendar over from Outlook to Google: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/ ... swer=98563
I've just used it, and it works well. One thing I found though is that if you have used the Anniversary and/or Birthday fields in your Contact records in Outlook, even though these dates appear in your Outlook Calendar, they don't sync over to Google with the calendar sync program. Google Contacts don't have birthday or anniversary date fields, so it must be related to that. Everything else comes over though, repeating, multi-days, and everything else came over just as they were created in Outlook.
Contacts?
I was wondering if there was another way to get your contacts off of your current phone to the G1, besides syncing your outlook contacts to gmail and having all of the on your sim. The reason I ask is because I have about 400 contacts and I would like to still have them all. Also would ppc backup work for the G1? Since there is no actual talk about it what is your thoughts?
I think its to early to be asking this question, unless someone here has a G1 already, which i don't think is the case.
As for the PPC Backup I highly doubt it will work...but i can tell you someone will make a program that does the same thing as PPC Backup.
outlook, sync and google calandar
I use my dash with outlook. I also sync my outlook calendar with my google calendar. Here's my question. I know you can't currently sync the g1 with outlook, but i can access my google calendar. I'm in Salt Lake City Utah and we aren't even scheduled for 3G yet. Do the events download to the phone or is it just through the browser? I live in a mountainous area and sometimes i don't have phone signal. When this happens, do I have no calendar? Same with my contacts and phone numbers. Have you had a chance to use the calendar? Thanks!
You might want to check out the user guide, it's in PDF format. You can use the forum search feature to find links to it, or, go to the T-Mobile site, they have it there as well.

outlook, google calandar and multi tasking...
my question about outlook isn't in the instruction manual that i could find. I'm curious if my google calendar data is available on the phone if im out out cell range and can't go on line. Here's another question. On my dash, if i go to anther program, my explorer shuts down and if i go back to it to go on line, i have to look up whatever web page i was looking at all over again. Does the G1 keep you on line even though your off doing something else? How have you found it does at multi-tasking. Any slow down? I'm always having to reboot my dash... Thanks, Scott

Google Calendar Sync
Download google calendar sync. it is easy, you can set it up to sync on your computer. I have it to sync every 30 minutes.
Here is the Link
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-ie&answer=89955
If you have a lot of Outlook categories and want the same on google calendars, i do the following.
I have 1 outlook calendar with about 8 colored categories.
I made 8 google calendars, named the same as the 8 categories.
Downloaded/purchased an app called gsyncit, which syncs all items to the corresponding google calendars. Works pretty well.
I use google calendars for mobile device since it's easier to read then mobile outlook, but at home/work, Outlook still rules as the organizer. Goolgle services are awesome for backing stuff up. I am notorious for blowing away my outlook personal folders when I am trying things out..
I am curious to see what the calendar app is like for dream, need to find some screenshots or something.
edit: i use to use the google calendar sync, but I could only sync 1 calendar from google calendar so that didn't work out to well for my categories. Hopefully they will beef up Google Calendar Sync.
Thanks guys I will try this!

I don't have a Dream, but I know that google has something called "Google Gears". Google Gears is suppose to let you view online data, offline. AFAIK the only google app for mobile that does that right now is Picasa. There are some desktop version sites that do it also.
I don't know if you are looking at your calendar data via the web, or through the calendar app in android. But obviously, if you are using the browser, and you are out of range, you won't be able to view your calendar stuff, unless they have made google gears work with their web browser and calendar.
As for the calendar app, I assume it works like outlook, so once your events/appointments are on your phone in the app,t hey are there for good, whether or not you are in cell range.
As for your explorer question, I can't help with the android part of that, but I have a blackjack II on 6.1, and if i am on a webpage then decide i want to open an app, do whatever then go back to the page, i just press the back button and it takes me back to the page I was on.
I also have some silly hard key for internet, but hwen i press that is takes me to a home page which is annoying. But just hitting the back button, or going back to internet explorer through the start menu, takes me to the last page i was on.
Contact Sync Issue
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
So I took the advice of another member and deleted all my contacts on gmail. Changed the view to older and imported my contacts. Then I sync on my device and all my contacts are back on my phone including the addresses etc...
The only problem is my notes are not all on the phone. I have a long set of notes for some people and on one contact half the notes show up the other half dont. I go into gmail and it shows all the notes for the contact...
Seems strange, anyone else?
google calendar
that answers a lot of my questions. On my dash if i go to another app then go back to internet explorer, it's shut down and i have to reopen it and thread through to get back to where i was. The calendar question is still a mystery to me. It was my understanding that they didn't include sync so you would use google calendar. (I have the app the uploads my outlook into my online google calendar. I use my phone as a pda for business. I'm assuming if im out of cell range, I can't access my appointments. Here's hoping for a real calendar on my g1 that syncs with outlook! Looking forward to your next post. Scott
go look at my post in this section
the app i loaded from google let me cross sync with outlook
now if they can just get this working with contacts
i am on the g1 sorry about short reply
Glad my info worked for you. Bad news about the notes, maybe when we get our G1's, we'll figure it out
If my memory recalls, there are labeled fields in Outlook that google doesn't support.
I'm sure with a more detailed syncing program we can sync what info go into what field of Google.
For example:
Birthday in outlook...Google doesn't have a birthday field. It notes it as a birthday.

You can have a second google calendar called birthdays and sync all appointments from outlook with the category of birthday assigned to them. This would be filtered through an app called GSyncIt
how about notes and tasks
is there anyway to sync these??

It seems that finally Google has released a sync for google calendar and contacts for WM (and iPhone) today.
Now to get it working...
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
Waiting for email and tasks sync too.... Then I will use it for sure...
yea nice... im waiting for this... used http://www.scheduleworld.com all the time
Well I can't get it to work. First screen asks for my email address, then when I enter my log in on the third it blanks out the domain then it just won't sync at the end.
I got it up and running from the phone... First couple attempts failed, but I was choosing the Mail and tasks options, only selecting the Contacts and Cal entries (as per the instructions ) meant it worked normally.
Shorted (sic)
No idea what the issue with mine was, but I reset and tried afresh and it's now going great guns.
Only one calendar?
It only appears to sync the one calendar...
mine doesn't work, i get an error "Your account in Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your admin"
Support Code: 85010004
anybody knows what this means?
I've not got it too work either yet, I wonder if it's being staged in a few accounts at a time?
{EDIT}
:doh, forgot I hadn't set a google calendar up on that g account.
As soon as I did and tried again it synched, maybe a coincidence but it's working now..
You have to choose Contacts and Calendar only... NOT Mail and Tasks
i have selected only Contacts & Calendar and i do have an active calendar account on google but still no luck
... i managed to sync my contacts by unticking the calendar option. i guess that would have to do for now
hmk ...
the google description says, i have to enter my whole emails adress and google as domain.
fun part is, i cant enter the domain anymore, as soon i add an "@" sign :/
I tried it and it does work, but it has some limitations.
@grayme
about which calendar it syncs, Google help says it syncs only main calendar, not the others.
this is not enough for some, i want to sync more than one calendar, and the only valid solution for now is the OggSync Pro, which can sync many calendars, and you even select which method to do for each (2 way, incoming only or outgoing only).
@achmed20
google documentation is for an older version maybe, not WM6.1, the first windows you put your gmail address and password, then in later steps it will ask for server.
I wish Google would extend this service for push emails with their Gmail service!
I have to admit i was always reluctant to use much of Google's services apart from searching because they have a very dominant position in the market. But they seem to be implementing the right things for their customers at no extra cost! Who could say no to that?

anyway, I got it finally working once I unchecked calendar. But what I do not understand is why it always try to use the data connection even if I am connected to wifi
Looks nice,
I'm using Nuevasync, does this job the same way. i've got 6 agenda's on my account, and there all in sync..
Well there was an announcement recently that Google have licensed activesync so we may see more to come in this area

So you have tried to sync contacts? does it sync all contact detail? especially the birth date?
i configured my X1 to sync only calendar with Google Sync, for contacts i use Zyb and Funambol (still to decide which is better), i didn't use DashWire becuase it didn't have the birth date field synched...
It does not sync the birthday field. Sync-ed fields are:
- Name, title, company
- Email
- Phone
- Address
- IM
- More information (Notes field for example)
Which ones do you guys think is better?
The google sync via inputting info in active sync or installing the seven application?
Whats the difference anyway?
Seven! Works better, can be used with any type of email.
Google Sync synchronizes contacts and your calender though I have had many experiences when it has duplicated my contacts
What is Seven?
Look on my software thread, type ctrl+f on your keyboard and type in Seven.
Seven is excellent
Only problem I have is that it occasionally drops my Hotmail password. Doesn't do that with other email accounts so maybe it's Microsoft being difficult, wouldn't be a surprise

One big reason why I'm about to get rid of all exchange info and install seven again. I had the privilege of deleting duplicates.
hmmm...I wasn't expecting the resounding vote for Seven. I've been using Google Sync for while now with no problems. Everything (contacts, calendar, email) is synced with my gmail account so it's easy when I reflash roms to get everything back. And very useful if gmail is your primary webapp for such things from your PC as well...maybe that's what should determine which route you go.
But if I had problems like the above comments...I may feel otherwise. I'll give Seven a look as well to see if there's any benefit for me change.
is Seven for push email only? aren't there a number of ways to get your email? IMAP, or push with google sync or windows live.
To me the kicker is calendar and contacts syncing. I guess combining different apps, ie. seven, myphone, dashwire or something would get you similar features...but google sync is just a couple settings to change.
...If google sync is duplicating your contacts, you can have it not sync contacts and just rely on MyPhone for contacts backup I guess too.

Seven does your calendar and contacts too, as well as tasks.
I like keeping my contacts up to date via pc, so whenever I need to change something I'll just go and sync them up
I've gone back and forth between the two several times. (When I flash a new ROM, I start over). I used Seven happily on a Moto 9h for a year, before Google Sync launched.
Generally, I'd prefer to use Google Sync, just to have fewer intermediary programs. For the first few months of Sync, it had some problems compared to Seven -- attachments weren't always delivered, delivery was a few minutes slower. All those seem to have been cleared up, and now I get messages a few seconds before they show up via IMAP on my laptop.
But Seven is still a great option, and I never had a problem with it. It has one idiosyncrasy on the TP2 -- on the little envelope on the Manila e-mail tab, the preview of the e-mail text doesn't show up. You see subject and sender, but have to click for text. I'm not a big fan of that stupid envelope (would much prefer the full preview that seems to be in Manila 2.5), but as long as I'm using it, I want to be able to see the text.
If either one added the ability to flag a message and have it show up as starred in gmail itself, it would tip the scales. What we really need is a simple, reliable, no-fuss way to use push IMAP to sync mail. Until then, either of these will do fine, and also sync calendar and contacts.
I have always wanted to use google sync exclusively since I use a lot of google's services. However one big drawback is when I use google sync to sync my contacts, the contact pictures become very low-res after transfer.
Does Seven have the same problem?
i dont want to use google b/c they keep a never-ending file of data...alas, microsoft is making it sooo hard to stay away from google, when they allow google to sync contacts, calander, and email, when their own hotmail/live fail/refuse to deliver such a mesh of services...
i simply want to use a single service to sync all of the above...Damn you microsoft...!!! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL...!!!

Is that Google Sync's doing? That is annoying....it didn't occur to me that it was Google Sync doing that. with Manila 2.1 it's pretty annoying since they have those large contact pictures in the contacts tab...not quite noticeable in 2.5...but still
Thanks "Coderedpl" your reply, Seven may be worth a try at least.
Seven Help
I have been trying to get Seven to install on my Tilt 2 but it won't connect. I get to the last step and it just times out and tells me that it is unable to connect. I have checked all the settings and it still won't work. Does anyone have any idea what I have to do to get it to connect. I used Seven on my Kaiser (Tilt 1) and it was perfect. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

They are having problems with their servers. I checked their forums, pissed me off too much so i switched back to active sync setup method
Does Seven allow you to specify times it should connect eg weekdays during working hours excluding weekends?
Thanks for the info on the servers. I checked it out and they should be up soon. I had it working for a couple days and it was nice. I removed the file it put to run on startup so it wouldnt bring me to the seven menu screen everytime I had to soft reses my phone. (Just a tip for anyone who cares and it didnt affect anything.)
Efjay
It allows you schedule times that you dont want it to push (quiet time). You can adjust the hours you want during the week or weekend.
Hey all, i'm going from my winmo 6.5 install on my Touch Pro to the android system on the Evo(i've never used android before. i'm very excited!) whats the best way to transfer contacts, sms, mms, bookmarks, favorites etc to the android from winmo? in the past i would just use sprite mobile backup in conjunction with windows MyPhone service to transfer to the new winmo phone.
how does it work between two different OSes?
thanks!!
I too am in the same situation. My wife just went from WinMO 6.5 to Android (got a Hero, decided she didn't need the evo) and she ended up manually putting her contacts into google. Seemed like a pain.
I searched around and there are some paid apps out there to sync outlook and google, but I am not going to be to only do it once (abandoning outlook after this). Theres a sync plugin for outlook that google made, but it seems like you might need an exchange server in order to use.
I think there is a way to export your contacts into .csv and then import into google but that doesnt sound too great either (although better than doing it manually lol).
Anyone know of a good app to sync contacts and calendar from outlook to google (at least just for one time)?
You can use activesync on your winmo phone to sync your contacts and calendar to your gmail account, then when you get the evo, use the same gmail account to sync it all with that
backup your contacts to your google account from winmo, google has an exchange server you can sync using. do it right on the phone, search the winmo forums for exactly how, i did it over 6 months ago when the hero came out so i dont remember.

You're right, that probably would have been a good way. Unfortunately my HTC FUZE has died and I am on an oldschool smartphone (Cingular 2125, HTC Faraday, many other names) and I don't know if it has exchange/google sync support in its activesync.
Any software-solution ideas?
I use exchange server to sync all my data. If you dont have access to a exchange server then sync with google then resync with google on your android phone.
I am in the same boat. Unfortunately I dont want to merge gmail info with my phone. I was thinking about Sprite Migrate.... anyone use before?
http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work-
qu1nn
well, i can't get the google sync to work, so i'm going to give sprite a shot
sprite migrate looks interesting, is it free? All this research seems pretty time consuming, might just export to csv and manually input callendar lol.
would love just a simple sync from outlook to google... sigh...
Same here just made the switch from WM to Android (Sprint Hero) two weeks ago and couldn't be anymore happier. Android is fun, easy to learn and very customizable. Like all the above post, switching over contacts (not needed the other stuff) to gmail was super easy and save plenty of times. For me Android is here to stay and hopefully you too will learn to like it as much as I did. Good luck!!!

If you have access to Exchange use that, if not use Gmail. Those are the methods I have used for other folks and it works fine.
clearly i need to learn to sync with exchange. last time i tried, it wiped my phone contacts and put all my work email contacts on there instead. whew! more learning!

Well, its part of activesync.
Go to activesync on your phone, menu, add server source
server addy is m.google.com (and requires ssl)
username put FULL email addy (i.e. [email protected], you need the @gmail (or your server, some are googlemail, etc).com part)
then pick what you want to sync
you should be ok, the only thing I am worried about is if it replaces your phone contacts with its own or merges the 2, I might find out soon though... would just like someone to confirm with me
i tried that and it would start to sync then give me an error saying "the exchange server is not properly configured" and wouldn't go anywhere from there
When you are on the last activesync screen where you select what to sync, (contacts, calender, e-mail, tasks), Select Menu at bottom right. Select Advanced. In the top drop down select "Keep the item on my device". I just synced to my gmail contacts, which was empty, and it worked fine. I did have to try it several times to get it to work but now that its set up it works well.

Hi guys!
I just bought my SG and I have it setup with my exchange server at work.
I noticed when first used the calendar I had to setup a google account to use it? Why i gods name would I want a google calendar when I have exchange?
I also noticed when I create a new appointment on the phone I always have to choose which calendar I want to use.
The "my calendar" is always by default. Is there a way to change default calendar to my corporate calendar?
Or even better, delete or disable my calendar and google calendar and only use my corporate account?
Thanx in advance
I've got the same problem, however I am using Google Calendar with 2 calendars. "My Calendar" is always the default, there doesn't seem to be a way to delete it.
Anyone have any ideas?
bump, bump.....
Anyone any idea about how to change the default calendar ?
The "My Calendar" is the phones calendar, so u will not be able to delete it and I cant see a way how to change the default calendar. Cause when u make an appointment in the phone, firstly it needs to put it to the phones calendar and then sync with other calendars.
Just set a sync with exchange calendar and it will send the appointments from My calendar to your exchange calendar.

Hi Mikulec, nice to see you here in the galaxy fora
Thanks for the explanation. But... I use google calendar and I want all my local appointments sync with my google account. Unfortunately when I enter a appointment in the local "my calendar" it doesn't sync with google. I have save the appointment explicitely to the "google calendar". (which is a hassle)

Nice to see u here too.
Looks like u are right. The sync only works when u make appointment in google calendar via web, it then sync with google calendar on your mobile, but its not happing the other way (from mobile to web).
So u have to save the appointment to google calendar and not to my calendar. Which is as u said hassle but it is kind of obvious. Because when u make an appointment in mobile and save it to my calendar and then it will sync with google calendar, u will have double appointments, u will have to disable the showing of my calendar in the settings.
So that means we will have to live with this "functionality".

But, do you save each calendar entry made on your sammy to your google sync then?
i sync my outlook to google calendar, this way i have both of my devices in sync
Android + PC + Windows Mobile
I've no secrets to keep, so i don't mind having my stuff on the clouds.
but anyone being paranoid about having stuff on the google servers, can always use their own home/office server for that kind of stuff.

I don't have a problem with that also. But the question remains: have you find a workaround for the problem described above

i only use 1 calendar account, so i don't have that problem the OP has
from the calendar program, click the menu button, then select settings, then Calendars. from here you should be able to select and deselect calendars.
try this. does this make whichever calendar is remaining the default one for new entries?

Sadly not, I only have my google calendar selected, the my calendar is unchecked, yet when I create a new entry the my calendar is still the default calendar, annoying to say the least.
Calendar sync
I've been able to get the exchange sync working except for one thing - the calendar appointments are a half hour early? The time zone/time is correct on the phone, and the appointment times appear OK on an iPhone. Any ideas? Other than that it was a dream to get the exchange account set up (gotta love staff that buy unsupported corporate phones then want support)!

Nice to see u here too.
Looks like u are right. The sync only works when u make appointment in google calendar via web, it then sync with google calendar on your mobile, but its not happing the other way (from mobile to web).
So u have to save the appointment to google calendar and not to my calendar. Which is as u said hassle but it is kind of obvious. Because when u make an appointment in mobile and save it to my calendar and then it will sync with google calendar, u will have double appointments, u will have to disable the showing of my calendar in the settings.
So that means we will have to live with this "functionality".

Did you get the google calendar working from mobile to web ? If so, what's the resolution ?
I've been banging my head against the exchange-SGS for about 72hrs now.
Coming from an WM sony X1 I was gutted to find no 'perfect' exchange on SGS. I now have my exchange a/c, 1x pop3 a/c and a hotmail a/c just about sorted now. I've found that the stock SGS calendar can be a bit iffy on calendar appointments so I removed the account, then re-installed it but with out the calendar being sync'd. I've un sync'd the calendar from the 'must have' google a/c. I'm now running touchdown just to bring in the calendar from my exchange a/c. K9 mail looks after my other pop3 & hotmail a/c.
Although nice and big the SGS calendar is i've found pure calendar widgets best for my home page at present. Its a shame that I've had to cough up dosh just to do what a WM phone does best.
I have an address book and calendar in Outlook 2007 on my PC and synchronize these with my HTC Sensation using MyPhoneExplorer.
I have just started to configure my new Nexus 10 and whilst I have managed to create a local calendar, I can't find any way to create a local contacts account - it only offer a Google Gmail account or a "Corporate" account.
I don't want to move my contacts and calendar to Google, especially as Google has announced it is withdrawing support for syncing to Outlook.
Am I missing something, or is there a way of having "local" contacts on my Nexus just as I have on my phone. If not, does anyone have any suggestions for a way of keeping my phone, tablet and PC synced as an ongoing solution?
Thanks.
I bought this last year after I bought myself the Galaxy Nexus.

Local contacts are not supported on Nexus handsets, it's a Google phone.
Thanks for the info! The key fact is your last comment. I spent some time yesterday searching for further info but I didn't find that. Can you tell me where this came from?
My problemn now is how to sync with my PC. The gsyncit program sounds good but if you believe the Google news release, it will also be affected by the withdrawal of syncing from Jan31, 2013 for new accounts. Granted, if I set it up now it should be OK but there's no guarantee for how long.
If I do solve the PC issue and move contacts to Google, it makes sense to also move my calendar. I have entries going back to 2005 that I'd like to keep. The last time I tried to create a Google calendar by syncing from Outlook, it would only sync around 30 days into the past. Is there any way to get the whole thing into Google?
