My HTC Desire is able to use the internal HTC Sense Calendar to sync from Facebook and Twitter and 'pull' people's birthdays from there and add them to my entries. So, for example, if a friend has his birthday on 9th of January, it lets me know so directly from the calendar.
On my HTC Hero (running 2.1 and Sense), the calendar does not seem to do so, and it only does the standard sync with Google Calendar (which does not have these entries as it is facebook and twitter).
Is there a way to make it work? Or is this perhaps only a feature of 2.2 Sense (my Desire is running 2.2 with Sense)?
Have you added in the facebook and twitter accounts to the sync list in settings and gone in and made sure the contact box is ticked to sync automatically ?

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.
Appointment created on Android phone will sync to Google Calendar, but not from GCal to Outlook.
Only difference between the appointment created in GCalendar directly and in Phone is the fact that Phone created appointment show myself as a guest in Google Calendar. When I remove myself as a guest, appointment will sync to outlook.
Calendars in Outlook, Google Calendar and Android phone are named as "myname"@gmail.com.
Appointments created in Outlook will sync to the phone just fine.
In the phone I have enabled only one calendar "[email protected]"
phone is HTC Hero, running NeORoM v2.1 (same problem I had with Villain 5.0)
edit: same with Villain 6.1
Sync for Outlook is Google Calendar Sync 0.9.3.5.
Sync method "two way"
any ideas whats wrong?
Doesnt anyone have this problem with 2.x roms???
you can see it from that thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5484
that lot of people have the same issue with the sync.
... this is the only obstacle that keeps me off the 2.x ROM...
solution is hugely appreciated...
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)...
I've noticed in Accounts & Sync, there is no option to change the sync schedule for Facebook and Twitter for HTC Sense. Is there no longer a way to change the sync schedule for use in Friendstream? I thought for Facebook it might be using the Facebook app's sync schedule since they're integrated, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Twitter for HTC Sense doesn't have anything either, and it's seperate from the actual Twitter app.
Hi at all.
I had a HD2 (WM6.5) up to now using MS Active Sync (Mobile Device Centre) for syncing with Outlook for contacts, calender and tasks.
How does this work with One X+ (shipped ROM GER)?
HTC's Sync Manager only does contacts and calender (besides media files). Also tried to look up other tools but did not find a suiteable one so far. Also tried to sync Outlook with Google first and in a second step syncing Google with HTC Task. Did not sync at all into Task but in Calender only, which has not been to my favour...
So how?
I'd like to keep on using Outlook tasks as well as a task program on HOX+ syncing each other, together with calender and contacts of course...
Thanks for your ideas. And all the best for 2013 of course!
Cheers
