Hi Guys,
I've searched the forum and Google etc.. but I can't seem to find out whether It's possible to import all of my contacts (currently around 700) from my tytn II to HTC Hero - does anyone know if this is possible and if so how please.
Cheers
I always had my tytn2 synching to outlook, when i got the hero i used htc synch to sync to outlook - job done. Note there is a new updated version of HTC sync (later than one spplied on memcard) available at HTC.
I understand another option is to sync to a google mail account then set up that account on hero to import your contacts.

Thanks for that info - I have Gmail but not to keen on syncing my account 'contacts' with the phone.. although the other option of using outlook seems the way to go for me. I'll sync my outlook program (i dont use it anyway) to my phone so when it arrives on Tuesday I'll be all good to go.
Thanks again for the info
You can also consider using Nuevasync.com to sync your contacts with gmail using Activesync. This only works if you haven't set up an Exchange account.

Good people, I've been on Android ever since the Hero came out and right now I'm waiting to get my new Legend in the mail.
BUT, I've never been sure what's the best way to organize and sync email, contacts and calendar appointments. Do you store all contacts ON the phone and backup thru HTC Sync and Outlook, do you ditch that and go full Google? Do you use IMAP with Hotmail? Exchange Server server with private mail?
First some info about me: I've had a private email service for some years now and a Hotmail account. I've wanted to keep these because of the hassle changing, but I finally caved in and started using the Gmail account I set up YEARS ago (so nobody would take it). I've stopped using Thunderbird as a email client, I've stopped using Lightning as a calendar tool and I've decided to use Hotmail just for junk (ie. Newsletters, registrations on various services I don't need to keep track of).
Now ALL my contacts are "Phone" contacts, not Google contacts. I sync my contacts with Outlook with HTC Sync, but I NEVER USE OUTLOOK. I sync Google Calendar with the Hero and I only use Gmail with the phone.
You getting me? All the options are, stressing me... I need a way to consolidate all my contacts across the board, all my tasks, events, notes...everything, the same everywhere.
1) Would you change all phone contacts to Google contacts?
2) Can you change all "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts?
3) Use both "HTC Mail" app with IMAP or just use "Gmail" App
- right now I get two notifications, both from the HTC app and the Gmail app.
Edit: I really with HTC could supply a tool, like HTC Sync, that would allow full control of the phone on you laptop, full sync capabilleties and the option to store it locally in HTC Sync (NOT Outlook) and in the Cloud as a backup.
ermmm personally i would sync all my contacts with gmail...at first its a bit messy cos u start getting gmail emails contacts in it but u learn to embrace it...specially if ur email list isnt way too big...syncing ur contacts with google is good specially if u have ORD(obsessive rom disorder) cos it saves u time backing up stuff...and it syncs via cloud so why bother plugging it in to sync
ermmm in terms of gmail i removed it from my htc app and just use the gmail app...the htc mail app is useful if u have any other accounts like hotmail or exchange or secondary emails...if u still want gmail on a pretty looking htc mail app u can just go to the gmail app and turn off notifications(that way u wont have 2 notifications for a single email)...
Ok. So the 4G was officially released by TMo yesterday. The user guide says we can download and install HTC Sync so we can sync stuff with Outlook. Apparently this is not the case according to HTC. Are there any alternatives to sync the phone with Outlook?
Built in Exchange support
Exchange support is built in to the phone dude! I hope I'm getting your query right....
Go to the Mail app with the magenta envelope... add your exchange and choose what to sync.
That's what you want right?
Edit: If you don't have exchange server and want to sync with your home Outlook... I don't know the answer to that.
I can confirm that HTC sync 3.0.5481 does not work with my MT4G on Windows 7 64-bit.
I saw the Exchange connector. Not what I was looking for. We use a hosted email service that is not Exchange-based, but I use Outlook as my email/calendar/tasks client.
Neither version of HTC Sync works (2 or 3). HTC says device is TOO NEW to be supported yet.

you can use google's desktop sync to sync your outlook calendar to your google account, which will then automatically sync to your phone.
as for email, check what settings outlook is using to connect (probably imap) and duplicate those in the email app on your phone.

You should set up a second server source on your phone, with your wife's google account information. Set it to sync only the calendar. This should work fine for you.

I dont think you can have two server sources via active sync, I have looked and I only have the option of one.
Do you know a trick?
thanks,
Jeff
Oggsync do a free version so you could use that to log in as your wife on your phone to have another source.
However, I don't like how it seems to screw times up.
We have a similar set up to you (though I only want to sync my own, two family, and public bank holiday and football team matches.
I use neuvasync.com, seems to work great (and it's free!).
Hello,
Just exchanged my iPhone 3S for a Atrix 4G yesterday and I love it.
But I'm very concerned that there seem not to be any simple way to sync with Outlook one of the worlds most common email and contact manager?
This is the first phone in a very long time starting with Treo 650 that will not sync directly with Outlook.
I'm using my phone in my business and need my Outlook sync so this could make me return it and get a iPhone 4 instead that will sync w/o any problems.
Is there any simple way that I have missed?
use manual settings and create an IMAP account?
How do I do that? My Outlook does not let me change from
POP to Imap?
If I only could sync my contacts I would be happy
For Corporate Exchange sync'ing, I paid for Touchdown. Works like a charm!!
For personal outlook account on my local computer, I use MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the Atrix....also works like a charm.
Hope this helps.!
The Atrix comes with Corporate Sync already installed. Go to your App Drawer -> Accounts and create a new Corporate Sync Account. I have mine set up and it syncs my calendar, contacts and email pretty much perfectly. You set it up using the webmail address and your login information, easier than I expected actually.
export all your contact to csv file and import back to ur gmail account, it will sync immediately
The Corporate Sync setting built in works. I had contacts synced within 5 minutes of getting the phone.

Yeah, but its too ugly in my opinion. And anyway, I desperately needed to sync my corporate Task-List as well. With Touchdown, the interface is awesome, and it syncs tasks/to-do list, and it also offers multiple widgets for each one of these components.
But for some, the free sync included in the phone is enough..
Syncing with Outlook directly is a terrible method. You should be syncing with the email server, either with IMAP or Exchange sync if it supports it. Who is your provider?
Either way, you should switch to Google Apps
I cant find how to do this and believe me I have search...
Thanks!
Will the note sync with outlook? The blackberry does. If both of them do then maybe I can sync the BB first then sync the Note. Any good backing program that I can use without rooting so I can put it back the way it was before I try this?

It doesn't out of box. Samsung Kies software can be downloaded somewhere (other than US) that supports sync with Outlook for calendars and contacts, not memos.
Your best choice is sync with some cloud services like GMail or Hotmail for calendars and contacts.
I end up using DejaOffice and outlook. I sync my blackberry to outlook only selecting the calendar and memos. Then i sync from outlook to used DejaOffice to in the Note. Working fine so far. There is a few kinks i need to iron but it is working great!
