Can anyone recomend a working method for syncing my android HD2 with outlook as this is a key feature for me if i want to run android FT.
Mine syncs without any problem through my exchange account. As far as anything special to do it I use all the same settings as I did in WinMo. Works like a charm.
Are you having trouble at a specific step?
Sent from my Android HD2 via XDA app
It's not possible to Sync directly with USB as far as I know...not easily anyway.
What I did was install "Google Calendar Sync" and sync my Outlook with my Gmail account. This can sync Outlook to Gmail on a schedule so it stays updated.
Then in Android, sync with my Gmail account.
gsyncit
i use gsyncit, which syncs calendar, tasks, notes and contacts. it's not free, but very good. since this solution i didn't use winmo again...
SYncMyCal
SyncMyCal for me. Not free again but allows update to my Google account and works well. Haven't use ActiveSync or whatever it is called now for months....
Android-Sync ( PRE-ALPHA )
Exchange is the best way. Microsoft is supposed to be adding Exchange/ActiveSync to Live accounts. Some accounts already have access. Bing it.
Until you are migrated try gsyncit. , I use gsyncit for my kid's accounts and it works rather well.
Sent from my HD2 via XDA App (mattc 1.5 build)
I have the configuration below and it seems to offer syncing of contacts, calendar, and mail. However, i have a large contact database and so uploaded it to GMail to sync instead. Still, I'll look at these recommendations to see if they will work better. Right now, USB isn't working in most HD2 builds so the point is moot...
I found Android-Sync works for me. Very basic interface, but it's free ...and it actually does the job!
Guys, I use "Android PC Suite v1.3.1.7" google it.
During install it installs USB drivers so connect is possible and working.
Prog on chinese but tapping on the left upper corner and choosing third line in menu you can switch to english.
Then - Managment-Contacts-Import from Outlook. That it.
It is already released to PC Suite For Android V1.5.8.98 and you can download update here or autoupdate the old one.
http://download.pandaapp.com/?app=soft&controller=android&action=show&f_id=1892
pcsuite_for_android_1.3.1.70 would not run correctly under 64bit Windows 7. After installation, launch the EXE and then Windows says that the program shut down. Then, a process attempts to download an update which then fails with a timeout error.
pc suite thing does not work for me. i used energy android
I've confirmed that PC Suite For Android V1.5.8.98 allows me to transfer my Outlook contacts from my PC directly to my phone. My phone is running the FroyoStone build.
I was not able to transfer calendar items in this manner as I received a message that said a calendar connector was not installed.
Please note that the transfer of contacts does not appear to be a sync. During an experiment, I transferred one contact from Outlook on my PC to my phone. Then, I modified the contact on my PC. Next, I re-transfered the contact from my PC to my phone. The software detected a conflict and then created a duplicate record on my phone.
I think however that this software is a great work-around for folks who need to transfer contacts from Outlook on their PC to their phone without having to use their Google account.
Thanks to arturw for this suggestion.
I am using Froyostone V1 and Exchange syncs perfectly over the air without adding any app or widget. Guess Sense adds this? Why would you need usb sync?

Just tried zImage from 22.08 and HTC Sync v2.0.33 with Windows 7, but HTC Sync does not work at all. It does not see HD2.
Can someone confirm it works?

Go Android PC Suite
This is a fantastic application if you can handle the bad translations into English and the odd Chinese character. Does everything I need including Syncing APK's etc etc.
I am running [RE-BUILD][23.08.2010][mattc Leo+Froyo w/Sense 1.5b] w/1GB Data+Led+OC by Caedanne. It has been working like a treat.
Now with Android PC Suite I will shortly be able to tweak the phone and post my first Android Home Screen.
I am a convert
I set up my WM ROM with MS exchange and it imported the settings across when I booted up Haret. Therefore my Android is always up to date with the server list of contacts, calendar appts and email. It does however mean running MS Exchange which is not everyone's cup of tea.

I install HTC Sync 3.0 for Desire and it's working perfectly. But only sync calendar and contacts from my outlook. Is possible in the future to sync everything? Like notes, tasks and mainly mails. I don't use exchange or gmail - only download via POP3 emails to PC and synchronize with my HD2 and NTB.
It's only one thing, why I haven't used Android yet.
Thanx for reply
Does your email support IMAP? If so, I'd use that instead of POP. Setup that email accounts as IMAP on both the phone and desktop. The server keeps them in sync. It works similar to Exchange.
I know, but it doesn't solve problem with 1Gb emails in my Outlook. I don't like IMAP, because it's quite slow, when you have to transfer a big number of email.
I now many possibilities how to solve this problem, but I don't want to change anything, just sync. thx
He can u post the Link to the HTC Sync tool.
I'm not able to download via HTC site.
Or is the HD2 serial working for Desire HTC Sync Download ?

Hi, can you tell me exactly which version of android you have installed? One week ago I test HTC sync 3.0, but program does not recognize shubCRAFT_v1.3 which is Froyo 2.2 from Nexus One
To my knowledge, HTC Sync is for HTC Desire, not supports Google Nexus One.

Hi,
I believe there is no direct syncronization Outlook <-> Android phone.
But, there is an alternative.
It is not free - $14.
The name is gsyncit.
It is a windows application. When you press synchronize it synchronizes all your contatcs, calendar evetns and tasks with the google account.
And when you synchronize the phone with the googel account - it gets syncronized.
Also if you change anything in the phone or in the google account you get it changed in Outlook.
BTW even if you upload a picture of a contact in the google account it will put the picture in Outlook.
I got two licenses- one for me and one for my wife

Countryman,
You need to choose you weapons: no Sense, no HTC Sync...
Other solution is to use Android Sync (http://www.android-sync.com/) but I found it less nice than HTC Sync.

Martasdx, I have the exactly same problem. Without a simple sync of my e-mails in Outlook (notebook) with Android I will keep my new Moto XT720 (excelent camera) packed and using my trusty HD2 daily and having sync with Active Sync...

It also comes with a free android app: mOffice - Outlook sync to pair with Mobisynapse desktop manager for Outlook sync

My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
It's a good point actually.
If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.
I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!

OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.
Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.

Thank you.
I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?
Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?
Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:
http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right.
hey everyone....I downloaded cmy's blacktopia rom for my HD2. I was wondering which version of HTC Sync i should be running on my computer in order for it to properly recognize the ROM on my phone? Can anyone help me out? Thanks!!!

HTC Sync should sync everything, but not sure that it will be able to find your HD2 using Android installed in SD...

HTC Sync does recognise the HD2 running Android. Mine shows up as a Desire as I'm running Desire based android.
Doesn't sync tasks tho.
You can export all your Outlook info as CSV, then go to your Gmail account and upload everything It will show up on your phone later.
Here's info on tasks:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/12/gmail-tasks.html
It should let ya migrate from outlook to G-Calendar, then all the stuff will magicaly appear on your phone
Hope it helps!

Hello everybody,
i just flashed the RAFdroid ROM to my wife's HD2. (Android 2.2.1)
She was using WinMo 6.5 until yesterday and easily synced MS Outlook with the HD2 via WinMo Center.
As she now uses Android and the HD2 should show as a Desire, i installed HTC Sync 3.0.5511. When i now connect the phone to my PC it asks how to connect, where i check "HTC SYNC". The phone searches for HTC sync on my PC for a while but nothing happens.
I even started HTC Sync on my PC manually. Nothing.
I also already disabled USB debugging which then is turned on automatically, again.
What am i doing wrong?
What could i try to get HTC Sync working?
Is there another way to sync my Android HD2 with MS Outlook?
Thanks!
Steve
Try myphone explorer app and the Windows Software my phone Explorer
After googling for a while i installed Android SDK, rebooted and everything works fine!
Thanks for your hint with myphoneexplorer.
We prefer Outlook which now works (via HTC sync).
If you want to synchronize only the default outlook folders with the complete content, HTC Sync is working. But if you want to synchronize an outlook subfolder or filter some contacts, you will need MyPhoneExplorer. It works top with RafDroid via usb cable (HTC Sync-Mode) or via WIFI.
Thanks, i will give it a try, WLAN-sync sounds nice.
As an alternative, i am using gsyncit. It is an external program to outlook, and has tons of setting (almost too many). You manually set it up to your gmail account, and it does it thing.
you can control the sync timing.
One of the nice perks/hassles about gsyncit, it runs periodically on your computer, so if its the computer/outlook is up and running, it auto syncs. You can like edit your calendar in outlook, and then sync it, and it shows up instantly with on your phone via the web.
So you could alter your wife's calendar at home in outlook, and it update her calendar in another state or driving down the road. Kinda interesting.

You just need to install Android SDK to your pc. PS! I also have PDAnet installed as I also saw this mentioned as a solution. I'm not sure which one (or both together) makes it work, but hey it works for me.
