I have Win XP, ActiveSync 4.5 and Outlook 2007. Until a few days ago, sync with my HD2 used to work fine (emails with Exchange server, everything else - contacts, calendar, tasks, etc - with local PC stored in pst file).
Since yesterday, suddenly synchronization doesn't work anymore - it doesn't recognize the phone.
I tried everything - uninstalled and reinstalled AS, I even put a new firmware on HD2!
Now, when I connect the phone to the computer, AS gives an error message:
"You will be able to synchronize only files, folders, and other non-Outlook items if you continue.
To synchronize E-mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes with this computer, do the followingisconnect the device, install and run Outlook, and then reconnect the device and complete the Synchronization Setup Wizard"
and calendar, contacts, etc checkboxes are grayed out.
Any idea, please?

Hi All,
I am looking for an application that allow me to sync Outlook
with X10 Mini (contacts and Calendar).
I found android-sync but it sync the contacts only.
It is not able to sync the calendar.
Do you have similar problems?
How can I sync phone with outlook?
/Francesco
I use android-sync and this is what I have found out:
- on one computer with Windows Vista and Outlook connected to an Exchange server, it can sync contacts only;
- on another computer with Windows 7 and Outlook using only local folders, it can sync contacts and calendar.
However there is no option to choose what range of dates to use in the sync, it doesn't sync recurring events, tasks or anything else.
I have tried to contact the developer using the email address reported on his website to discuss a couple of bugs but he has not replied to my message at all. On top of all this he also let the application expire at the end of August and uploaded a new version only a few days later so for several days I could not sync at all as I was getting an error message asking to download a new version that didn't exist.
To be honest I think he has lost interest in developing the application. It's a pity because there is basically no alternative. The fact that SonyEricsson has not included any way to perform local synchronisation with this phone is shameful.
Ciao.
Has anyone solved the sync problem?
I use an Outlook plugin called gSyncIt. Cost $15 but worth every penny.
I have 2 calendars and 2 sets of contacts in Outlook, personal and work related. On my google account I simply created 2 new calendars and this program syncs the Outlook calendar of my choice to the Google calendar of my choice.
Once it's on my Google account Android sync gets it to my phone no problems.
It'll also sync contacts/tasks etc
Perfect for me - it means I can use Jorte on my mobile to view my personal Outlook, my shared office calendar and all my shared google calendars at the same time.

But the whole idea was to sync in a way that avoids giving your soul away to the devil. If there is ONE company in the world that I don't trust, that company is Google. Local synchronisation keeps your data to you. That's why it is so important to have Android-Sync or some other workable alternative...
My troubles with Android-Sync continue! Suddenly my phone does not connect anymore! On the phone I get the message that Android-Sync is connect but on my pc the Android-Sync interface behaves as if there is no phone connected. I haven't installed or changed anything on either phone or PC, abd.exe is running and the Windows device manager doesn't report any problems.
I am really losing patience with SonyEricsson and the lack of local synch. I might stick to Android in the future but HTC supports local synchronisation so I will be looking at other phone manufacturers.
what's the outcome? is there a way for a local sync?
I'm a real newbie concerning android but i found in the market this free program called 'My Phone Explorer' and it syncs all my outlook contacts and calender entries without a problem either through wifi or usb cable.
android sync
Just to say I've tried today android sync to synchronize contacts and calendar from my corporate outlook (did not want to sync with google for obvious reasons..).
And it works like a charm !
Here's the link : http://www.android-sync.com/ (it's free)
Connect your mini with USB debug ON.
Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to synchronise The new Mozart 7 with Outlook for contacts and calender ?
Thanks.
That is the way I have got my contacts etc onto my Mozart ignoring the sim card route although it was via work Outlook by Exchange
The only way I managed to do this was to setup a hotmail account and copy all of my contacts within outlook. Provided you have the outlook connector installed you can add the new hotmail account to your mozart and the next time you sync it will transfer over all your contacts and appointments.
unfortunately i have the 64-bit microsoft office, outlook doesn't work with wmdc or seemingly anything else, never has worked and microsoft seems in no hurry to fix this, oh well, luckily most fo my contacts were in my windows live ID so it all got synced
I've got it syncing via exchange. Have to say for all it's failures (it is going back sadly) at least it syncs outlook flawlessly but then it is a Microsoft product..
Have sync'd two exchange accounts, contacts, calendars... and it's smart enough to not double up on duplicate contacts.
There is no ActiveSync possible in WP7. You have to sync via some sort of online service (Hotmail, Gmail, Exchange, etc).
FYI, even Microsoft recomend against using Office 64bit unless you are working with mega huge spreadsheet type data (4GB+ files).
how to sync notes and tasks from outlook 2007 to WM7?
does anyone know how to do a GAL lookup after you setup the device with an exchange account?
Synchronization with Outlook
Hello,
It's possible to calendar, contact...
1) You must add a microsoft plugin in Outlook 2010 (Outlook.Connector)
2) Create a new account (ex : [email protected])
(This account should be the same as WM7 phone account)
3) The news informations of calendar or contacts are send in account @live.fr
when you click on SEND/RECEIVE
4) You start "Hotmail App." on the mobile (with your account) and you synchronize.
5) The news "Outlook Informations" are now in your mobile phone
Best regards

Hey,
My situation:
I used outlook account (google) on my HD2.
Then I chose ActiveSync to sync my Contacts, Calender and Mail.
ActiveSync makes a "exchange" (Google has sort of) and the sync with my PC worked.
--> I could sync my mails, contacts and calender with google.
I dont used outlook for this (get the normal web access of google mail.
What I want
I want to sync my Contacts, Mails and Calendar with Outlook on my PC
I tried it at home (Win7, Office2010 32bit, WMDC) and it worked so far that I can sync calendar as well as Contacts (that was the easy part)
What I want and is not working yet:
Sync Emails (get an error message that the sync is not complete in WMDC)
My Outlook (PC):
I have 3 IMAP Accounts (google and 2 others)
No Outlook "configured" on HD2 at the moment (as I end the exchange sync with google, my account on hd2 was deleted)
Question:
Is it possible to sync my IMAP Accounts with the HD2 (It would be okay, if only one account is working)
My standard pst (PC) contains no emails because I only have IMAP and no POP and for IMAP Outlook does not use the standard inbox.
Hm... Shouldn't be a unknown problem should it be? Anyone got this working?
You should just set up the accounts on the phone and separately on the PC.
I can't really comment on WMDC, but with ActiveSync between the phone and the computer I wouldn't let it sync anything you are syncing via IMAP. Any changes you make on the PC will be updated to the net and the next time the phone syncs it will update from the net (and visa versa).
I have an Exchange account on my phone and the same on my work PC. When they are plugged together, the only thing that is synced is favourites.
Hi all
My HD2 is running the standard T-Mobile ROM (I know!) and has been working fine using an over the air sync my Exchange server. However, in the last few days both mine and my bosses HD2's have stopped syncing the calendar from Exchange to the HD2. Emails, contacts etc are fine.
Appointments added to the phone sync back to Exchange and appear in Outlook, but any appointments added to Outlook do not sync back the other way. I have tried removing the server partnership and adding again, have rebooted the server etc.
If I watch the Activsync screen whilst it syncs, it actually sees that there are items in the Calendar to be synced but they don't appear and there are no errors.
Any suggestions would be great!
Tom.

Hello
I have my Lumia800 for almost two weeks and there's something that scares me.
I had a Nokia N8 and have 1041 contacts in that phone. When I bought Lumia800, with “transfer”, I’ve send all of them to my new phone, and now I have all my phone contacts in Lumia. But, somehow, only 200 contacts are synchronized with my Windows Live account (the one that I use on my mobile). I’ve tried lots of things, even create a new Windows Live account but the problem persists.
I want to be sure that, if something happens to my Luma800, I have all of mine 1041 contacts somewhere.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advanced
Lea
I forgot to explain that When Lumia is clean (with no contacts), no error appear when trying to synchronised hotmail account. After my contacts when put in my Lumia (using Transfer application), it appears “error code 86000108).

Do you use MSFT Outlook? You can sync your N8 contact to Outlook then use the MSFT Outlook Hotmail connector to sync w/ Windows LIVE acct and then to your phone.

I've tried that also, and the problem continues.
Sync them with Google instead, see if that works properly?

Gmail works just fine. Althought I continue to receive that error (Windows Live error 86000108), e-mail and calendar works just fine. I’ve done all the steps recommended by Microsoft Support but my 1041 contacts don’t appear. Just 200.
I even start a new hotmail account to be sure that there wasn’t any hidden e-mails or links. My Lumia was reset three times. When I start the phone with no contacts, that error doesn’t appear when I try to synchronize Windows Live account and my Lumia. Right after the contacts are transfer to the phone, that error starts to appear and only 200 of my 1041 contacts appear on my Windows Live account.
Is there a way to synchronize my contacts with my gmail account?
Are the contacts copied alphabetically?
There might be a problem with the last (or the next one) contact copied. Maybe some foreign character causing an issue?
no, the contacts are not copied alphabetically. And all the names are Portuguese (i'm portuguese)
You will essentially have to go through each contact that was copied, as it is either corrupt or contains information that Windows Live/Phone does not support. More than likely you should start with the last copied contact, if you know what that is, otherwise, you should erase all the contacts you have and start all over again.
I don't know if the transfer program is capable of transferring select contacts rather than just all, but try 10 or 20 contacts at a time. Then sync. If it syncs successfully, then do another group of 10 or 20 until you find the one that is not syncing properly. If you find the one that doesn't sync properly, then don't sync it, and do that one manually.
The transfer program doesn't allow to chose contacts
