Hello, I am new to HTC mobile, I used to use Nokia N95 8G in last 2 years.
Just got a HTC touch HD within a week.
I just wonder
Is there any possible that I can synchronize Google Calendar with Blackstone?
I am appreciated with your help here.
Thx.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
iMrD
You have a lot of solutions to do that :
- Using Microsoft Office, you can sync it with Google Calendar with an official Google Sync app (available on Google website). Unfortunately, this app can only sync your main calendar.
- Using Thunderbird, there exists a nice (not free ) app which is BirdieSync. It allows you to sync every calendar in Thunderbird lightning or sunbird with your mobile phone. You just have to access with TB lightning or Sunbird your google calendars (with an extension, like Google Provider for Sunbird)
- If you do not want to use a desktop application, you can use the Google sync new feature which allows you to use Google Calendar as an Exchange server. Again, this way only syncs your main calendar.
- Last but not least, you can use nuevasync (nuevasync.com) service. This is like a bridge between Google Calendar and your mobile, using an exchange server. This is free (but for how long ?) because this is a beta application but I use it everyday without trouble. This make synchronization with Google Calendar very easy through a data connection.
I hope this will help you.
Here is the link to the google sync feature: http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/
You can sync directly using activesync:
Add Server Source
Enter email address
Untick "attempt to detect Exchange server"
NEXT
Server address is m.google.com
NEXT
user name is your mail address again.
NEXT
uncheck e-mail and tasks
FINISH

OggSync
I use Ogg sync Pro which does multiple calendars and contacts, works great for me
Have to pay though for the Pro version

Silly question, but where's the download link?

Here - look for "sync" on the original link.
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
No download as such... you just need to add the correct setting via the activesync app on the phone itself... Detailed instructions can be found here... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=56959&highlight=google+sync

hy, anybody knows a free page, where i can sync my hermes calendar (tasks and appointments) and my contacts? i mean for example over wlan, without a computer between.
regards chief
I use Google Calendar, and Oggsync on the PDA to keep the two sync'd.
Also use SynQ for Outlook so just about every calendar I could access (work, home PC, web based, PDA) is sync'd automatically.
There is a free version of Oggsync... can't recall the limitations of the free version.
HTH.

Not AFAIK.. I sync my contacts using SynQ / Outlook between work-based server. SynQ is free, BTW, if you have access to a server it can use.
I use mail2web.com to sync my contacts, agenda, tasks. I also use their push mail service but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Yahoo does all that perfectly.
Read up on programs called Intellisync and Yahoo Go!
Wondering if there is any application or development in xda-developers that looks into sync Yahoo, Google or MSN contacts/addessbook and calendars/appointment to Windows Mobile for offline usage.
Currently, I am using Yahoo as my primary online usage. There is a recent application from Yahoo Go! that allows me to sync address/contact to my WM but NOT the calendar/appointment.
It would be great if I can do similar to the rest of Google and MSN as well.

Google Calendar sync is on the todo of OtO (look in sig) I can't promise when but I need it so i'll do it, probably after the basic views are done so in a version or two
several options
there are several options for that already:
check out oggsync for example: http://oggsync.com/
You could also try plaxo, www.plaxo.com they can sync with most of those you want and it can be synced to wm via outlook or via a new plugin installed on your pda that they have on labs.plaxo.com (currently only contacts though).
Its based on technology from www.funambol.com which also seems like it might do it, but I can't get an invite to try out their service.

Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

Hi all - got my HD2 three days ago and still tweaking bits and bobs as I see fit!
One of the things I haven't been able to work out is whether I can sync the calendar with my personally hosted .ICS calendar files? I host them on a personal FTP for shared use in Lightning/Thunderbird.
Is there any way at all of syncing them with my HD2? Whether it's a bit hacky and goes via Google Calendars or something else I don't really mind, as long as it works remotely.
Thanks in advance .
Argh, dropped off the first page already! Anyone?
i guess the google calendar is way to go. but it would be great if a XDA expert could post an a possible solution
I would like to see either HTC offer something to sync up to Yahoo calendar, or at least a third party app to sync up to Yahoo calendar myself!
Yahoo has now done away with the Yahoo GO! app, oddly enough only months after creating a "new" iphone App. Why does Yahoo always give Windows Mobile the finger?

Hi. I don't have a HD2, but in this period I am evaluating the purchase of a new WM smartphone, and I am searching info about my main requirements. One of them is just the sync with Outlook or (better) with Lighting/Thunderbird. Until now, I found that the best solution seems BirdieSync, http://www.birdiesync.com/features. Unfortunately it is not freeware, but it appears the most suitable for the task. I saw on the site that there is a full-functional demo, maybe you can try it.
Hope this helps.

I use birdiesync, and it does synchronise with Thunderbird's calendar.
Anything to synch to Yahoo Calendar?
Yahoo! Ical Sync
the new yahoo calendar beta has ical sync support, so if you can sync to ical you can sync to yahoo calendar beta....
"Can I sync with Live or Google Calendar?
Last Updated: March 02, 2010
Yes!
When you share your calendar with any user, that user will receive an email that will guide them through subscribing to your calendar.
Toward the bottom of that email, there will be a URL that looks like this:
ht[tp://calendar.yahoo.com/yahoo-id/XXXXXX/CalendarName.ics?id=001.
Anyone using a calendar that supports the iCalendar or .ics formats can use this URL to sync to your Yahoo! Calendar."

Hey guys,
I know this isnt a Development related question, but i think a suitable answer to this question would be invaluable (i for one find myself installing all of the new builds as they come out). Is there an easy way to move things like calendar appointments and contacts from WinMo to Android?
Thanks

Use google's tools.
You can SYNC winmo contacts and calendar with Google's FREE online calendar...
then when you run Android, it will sync with the same data.
Also, when do use Google's online stuff, if you lose your phone, or you reinstall, all your contacts and calendar items resync with your new phone As long as you have a data connection (wifi or phone)
How can i get google sync to work in wm6.5? Here, in the activesync program, clicking the "set up your device to sync with it" link does nothing...
thats how it says to do it on the google sync website.

sorry, if this is not the right answer...
For WinMO - Use ActiveSync to Connect to your device, setup Sync Partnership, and it will sync from Outlook (emails, contacts, etc etc... depends on how much you choose)
For Android - the options are (depends on which accounts is selected to sync contacts)
1. Google Sync - It will sync your contacts from your gmail account
2. Corporate Account - if you are on exchange, this will sync all your contacts from Outlook.
these are 1 to 1 syncs.
-----------------
To do Outlook -> Gmail -> Android, I believe there are some software you can use... i read on google, but reviews are very subjective, and I have tried none, so wont be able to recommend.
For corporate use, I have heard CompanionLink and Touchdown to be good.

can you please post the link you are using ....
Sry I'm new so I can't post any links but searching "google sync" in google should return correct link in first result.
My suggestion - don't sync mail, it's buggy. Better use IMAP for gmail and sync only contacts / calendar.
If "set up your device..." link is dead (that was my case also) try searching ActiveSync menu for "server source" or something like that (my ROM is localized so I don't know how it's called in English version). When done proceed as in tutorial about google sync. My ROM is WM6.1 but 6.5 should work the same way.
YES I was able to fully sync contacts & calendar that way with my google account. Syncing works both ways and if you set it up correctly it will push any new or updated items almost instantly between account and a phone.

It works!
I though it tried it but i guess not. Thanks for the reply and welcome to the forums
Android uses its own internal google sync to make sure your contacts and calendar etc are synced with Google's servers.... GOOD
Windows Mobile is ALSO supported by Google who are using Exchange server!!!...you can sync over the air with ActiveSync (m.google.com)... look on Google's support site or search for "Google ActiveSync"... note, Google only supports Contacs, Calendar and Mail sync (push), it does not support tasks or notes.
Works flawlessly for me, except for STUPID HTC messing with the 'notes' field in my contacts. This is a HTC bug, so beware.
So basically, IF you use Google for your contacts and Calendar, you can keep WinMo and Android in perfect sync

I just tried it using this link which shows the instructions on how to do it... but incase your are having syncin problems after followin the instructions uncheck the tasks option when asked wht you want to sync....
So in other words your contacts and your calendar will be in sync
-Make yourself a gmail account
-add account to Android and set sync settings
-install Google Sync on your PC, set sync settings
-sync between Outlook and Android, and always have an online access as well.
Seems a lot if people forget this is a Google OS, and it loves Google applications!

Or as I already wrote like four times here, you could just download Android Sync and avoid having to sync your contacts with another service.

sorry.. been reading through the threads, and see so many asking/complaining about how to sync with Outlook, still going to use WinMo for calendar, etc...
I like the looks of Android Sync.. very promising! but for use right now, Google sync is my way to go- OTA, and manual and automatic.
was already looking for a solution and now I have 2, thx you guys
I use an exchange server and it syncs just fine; is this for those that don't or is my server special somehow?

I don't know much about exchange servers- if its working, cool!
you need a gmail account for google payments and the Android market- loved how I logged in and all my apps from the MT3G I had last year were sitting there waiting for me to reinstall!
Google Sync works great for calendar- had to upload my Outlook contacts as a *.csv file and then they were all in Android. when this Android Sync is finished, I'll be using it!!
so happy to have Android again.. feels like home..
