Hi all wise ones,
I am using my activesync to sync both my email and calender.
My wife and I also have both of our google calenders shared with each other but hers does not show up on my phone calender. is there a way to get my activesync to import both my google calender and my wife's calender?
Thanks,
Jeff

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!).

Dear all members,
Just to check whether how we can sync my outlook contacts and calendars with my Google account.
I have tried Google App Sync but I have encounter an error which need the Google app sync to be enabled in the email account..
Anyone know what I should do or any easy software to sync the contacts and calendars between Google and Outlook?
i think this was only turned on from 2.1 up then it was enhanced in 2.2
If you are planning on doing this only once a workaround is to export your Outlook contacts to a comma separated .csv file and upload this file to Google contacts. Works very nice, but I understand you might need to do it a smoother way if you need to sync Outlook and Google often.

Hi,
Yes, I will prefer that there will be a software which will continously sync the contacts in my Outlook with Google and that is why Google App Sync caught my mind.
But I know that I can only use it if my Google account is the premier and not the normal type.
Anyone know whether there is other software which can do the task?

Try turning Outlook off then on again?
I have noticed when ever I start Outlook now I get a popup asking about which "profile" (i think is the word used) to enable; google sync or outlook?
Syncing between X10i and Outlook (business phone is foked without this ability imo) is the main reason I am travelling along the rooting road at the moment... not started the search for the software yet.
Have installed google sync but not used yet as I am uncomfortable storing 20+ years worth of valuable networking details in that giants hands
Good luck

Thanks. I managed to find 3rd party software called Companion link but required to purchase in order to use. If the software is good, I dun mind paying for it.
Guys,
I have managed to try out the CompanionLink software whereby you can synchronize the outlook contacts and calendars with your Google account, it work perfectly so with this software, there is no hassle either you do update on your phone or PC using Outlook.
check it out if you are interested :
http://www.companionlink.com/
However, you can try it for 15 days and if you like it, you will have to purchase the license which I will be intending to purchase this software.

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Guys, I just turned on my X10 first time.
When I go to Calendar app it asks me to login to Google account.
That may be strange question for users here, but - do I HAVE to login to Google
to use Calendar on X10?!
i'm using MyPhoneEx and it works well and it is free
I also use MyPhoneExplorer

?! I was asking about Calendar application...
Yeap. I use MyPhoneEx to sync outlook contact/Calendar directly into my X10. If I want to sync contact/calendar with Google, I just goto Setting ->Accounts & Sync and press sync contacts (or Calendar).
That's why your X10 asked you to log-in to google when you turned it on. If you've not log-in to Google, the calendar in X10 is still working fine but you cannot sync it with google contact (or calendar).
First install Email2.1.apk.
Open Email.app
Setup exchange account.
Now, install CorpCal.apk.
After this, Defy should sync mail, contacts and calendar.
Does it sync google accounts or just corporate?

*Should* . My Defy only syncs contacts and Email. The calender does not sync at all. Any hints? Or do I need to replace the calender app as well?

Yeah. I did but the localization of "Coperate Calendar" is "Google Calender" if you happen to have german locales selected. I did not find the application on on the first tries. But many thanks it now works.
Maildroid
Why not use Maildroid. I found it to be excellent for corporate sync. Except for the Ads, but that OK.
Worked perfectly for me. Went back to blur just because I didn't like having two calendars, but if I get a ROM without Blur this is what I will use.
thnx a lot German Buddy
As I just found this thread:
For people interested, I posted some more detailed instructions on how to install the files here. The removal of the blured email app is not necessary, of course.
Hello,
first of all thanks for this solution, sounds promising. Nevertheless i have some problems:
I installed both files and could setup my exchange account (windows live) afterwards. It seems that it worked, at least there were no error messages, but my defy doesn't synchronize contacts anyway. A test mail has not been received too.
So what did i wrong?
Another question: Does the provided Calender App work with non-google calenders (windows live) too?
Edit: Ok, Push Mail and Contact Sync works now. Obviously there is no error message when you type in a wrong password.
Anyway: The Calender Sync doesn't work. Is this only for Google Calender?
Touchdown
Without the best app for corporate email, calendar, contacts and tasks. Completetely independant from built in apps, provides security, well laid out and plenty of options for alerting, signiture option and lots more
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!
I have a Galaxy S3 and until now have been using Google calendars - 1 personal and 1 shared (with 1 other person) - and have now exported all my entries onto Outlook.
I've added my Active Sync account onto my phone and almost everything has synced correctly.
The only thing that hasn't is BOTH of my calenders. My main personal calender has synced but I can't find anyway of getting the shared calender on there.
The tasks are syncing correctly.
Could some one please advise what I'm doing wrong?
why not sync the device directly to google?
if you work on your pc only with OL - just sync your google acount and OL via google calendar sync in your PC.

I'm not looking to use the Google calenders anymore, the reason is because I've just upgraded to Windows 8 on my home PC and it will only sync the main calender from Google.
I now need to get my phone syncing with the OL calenders so that all 3 places (phone, PC and web) are all reading the same information.
you don't have to create\edit events on the "google.com/calendar" domain, just get your pc syncing with it.
i use win7 so i can't tell for sure if the google calendar sync work on win8, but you can try - i don't see a reason it wouldn't work.
from what i recall when i had my exchange client on my phone it would only sync the main calendar. so you solution should be on the google side.

The problem I'm having is that Windows 8 will ONLY sync the main Google calender. I would happily love to use the Google calendars, but I can only see one of them in Windows 8.
I can't believe how inflexible both systems are - only being able to view 1 calender from the other service.
sorry if i'm repeating myself but have you tried to install "google calendar sync" in your pc ?
