Does HTC sync work with the rezound? Outlook sync is very important to me. Thanks.

What do you use HTC sync for? If you use Outlook, your company probably has Exchange, and you can use the phone's native mail app to get all your email and calendar events (& contacts).
Are you checking work email or are you using Outlook at home for personal email?

Wookiefan - No need to get into a lot of a specifics as to my usage, as that doesn't change the question (but no, I am not on exchange).
The question remains:
Does anyone KNOW if HTC sync work with the rezound? Thanks to those who know.
Just curious since I never used HTC Sync. How is it different than syncing your google contacts and the phone contacts? If you create all the contacts under your G account, won't they always be everywhere?
No Cloud - Still looking for any answer; thanks.
It enables direct sync with your data in Outlook (useful, among other things, for those of us who are not entirely interested in having everything run through Google's servers).
For those familiar with ANY window phone, it would be identical to ActiveSync.
ANYWAY, all I am asking here is a factual question. Can someone who actually has the Rezound please let me know if HTC Sync is either included on a CD in the box, or is otherwise sitting in the root of the EMMC or SD Card. It is either there or it isn't, and I will take that as an indicator. Thanks so much.
I don't have a Rezound (yet; plan on getting one within the next month), but in my reading about it before getting one, I downloaded the User Guide from HTC's website. Pages 274 - 285 discuss using HTC Sync to sync your contacts and calendar to Outlook, as well as syncing photos, videos, documents, music, playlists, and bookmarks to your phone. You can even install third-party applications (.APK files) to the Rezound using HTC Sync.
It doesn't appear that it is included in the box with the phone (either on CD or on the phone), but can be downloaded from HTC's website. I'd provide links, but apparently I haven't posted here before, even though I registered more than two years ago.

Wow, and that didn't involve answering attempts at help with snarkiness. Just research. On the manufacturer's website. Wow.

Hello all, i am leaving winmo this friday for a HTC Hero and i would like to know some things ahead of time.
1. Is ther a bing app for android. i use this every day and would like to continue.
2. how many email acct. can one have on the hero?
3. are there cab. files for android or is everything ran from the app store?
4. will pim backup work to transfer all my contacts, texts, email and so on?
5. are there any other roms to flash to to make it better, and where are they?
i hope some or all can be answered, and i hope this is not a repeat... if so i am sorry, hanx
1. For what purpose?
2. Same as WinMo... one Exchange and as many IMAP/POP3 as you want...
3. Not CABs, they're called APKs in Android, can be installed from device or PC (needs to be enabled in Settings) as well as the market
4. No
5. Modacos and Drizzys is available in the Development forum for Hero, they are custom made from HTCs latest update
Hey, thanks for the quick feed back. just what i needed to know. bing is windows mobile live search cab that give u everything in one place, movie times, weather, business and map searches, gas prices etc. is there anything like it or does google do it all as well? how is the sync feature with windows vista and xp. does android sync with your office suite like winmo does? can you sync calendar, contacts etc.?or will i have to start over with new contact client setup and calendar or something?
It would be in your best interest to set up a google account. I think it syncs your calendar and stuff with google.
Re Syncing of Hero
Yes you can sync your phone so that it gets all your contacts, calendar and emails.
I sync with Exchange to get my emails and calendar entries but use the HTC Sync program to sync contacts. I do this as for some reason I get various errors when syncing contacts through my Exchange account.
This is my first non winmo phone since the first HTC came out on orange and I was very hesitant to leave the platform, however after a week with my G2 (still waiting for T Mobile update!!) i am more than happy and doubt I will venture back unless Microsoft pulls a rabbit out of a hat (or their fingers out of theirs arses) and releases the operating system that people actually want!!

The Hero comes with HTC Sync which supposedly lets you sync the phone with the Office suite, but I haven't tried that - by the time I realised it was there, I had already migrated everything over to a mixture of Google and Mozilla.
The way I make it work is by using Google contacts and calendar as the 'central database' that you sync everything with. I use Thunderbird for email and contacts, and Sunbird or Lightning for the calendar. (Lightning is an extension for Thunderbird, and Sunbird is essentially the same program but set as a standalone application). Using the GContactSync add-on with the Thunderbird address book lets it sync with Google contacts, and Sunbird/Lightning can be set up already to work with Google calendar. Ideally you actually keep two calendars in Sunbird; one for your recent appointments, one for the archive. This keeps your life off of Google's servers, and makes the synchronising faster on the phone or desktop.
This setup works well even if you have multiple computers that you all want to sync together, though if some of the computers aren't always connected, such as a laptop, then you need another step. The issue is that Sunbird/Lightning connects directly to Google calendar rather than maintaining an offline calendar which it occasionally syncs with Google. So if your connection drops or you switch off wi-fi to save laptop battery, you lose access to the calendar. The solution is another add-on called GCalDaemon which downloads the calendar from Google and then works with Sunbird/Lightning, syncing with Google when it can.
It might sound complicated, but it's not too bad really!
so many questions?

Thank steven just what i was after and i never even asked...good man!

Having left Winmo for Android are you happy with your choice? I am currently running a HD and a Hero, I was intending leaving Winmo but I am a bit disappointed with Android.
Do you feel you can do everything with Android that you could do with Winmo?
I have syncd with exchange ("corporate') but the thumbnail pictures have not syncd. anyone know why / have or have not got a similar issue?
Same here. Syncing to Exchange 2010, but I get none of my contact photos.

I'm using Touchdown, no issues with pictures downloading for contacts from Exchange... Must be a native Exchange client issue.

i'm having the same problem with contact thumbnails from my Exchange contacts as well. no issues with my other Android devices, only the Atrix4G. it must be a MotoBlah issue...
Ditto and very disappointing.

this is not a solution for the contact pic sync issue, it's more an option. i stumbled across an app called Enhanced Email 1.16.2 that allows you to sync multiple exchange accounts, integrates into the stock calendar and contacts apps and it also synced my contact pics as well. the app also uses the volume key to increase/decrease font size in the emails. i had to shell out $10 bucks, but that investment is making my Atrix experience a little better and the contact pic sync issue is behind me. other features of the email app i like: it gives you the option to use the Exchange Pin. i said no and am using pattern lock instead.
EDIT: i did notice a (minor to me) bug; not all of my contacts birthdays were synced.

Fantastic tip. It was well worth the $10. It's kind of ironic my old hacked up HTC HD2 with WinMo wiped and Android running off the SD card had better email than the Atrix.
I'm looking forward to an update that improves email and fixes the slow internet speeds.

yep. knew this as well. 2 things i miss with the stock email app (compared to the HTC Sense email app) is the ability to increase font size in email and the "hack" to disable the Exchange Pin requirements. and then there's the picture issue.

I am having problems with the pictures not syncing too. We are also on Exchange 2010. Is everyone else using 2010, or are all versions of Exchange having problems. I only ask because when I decided to check the Motoblur info it only mentioned supporting Exchange 2003 and 2007, which I thought was odd.
This is also my first Motorola (in a long while), but after doing some quick research via Google, I see a lot of people complaining about the same thing from as much as a year ago on other Moto phones. Despite being nice hardware, I'm really irritated with the Motorola "experience" after coming off of my Captivate on Cognition.

No, the problem of contact pictures not being synchronized affects Motoblur talking to Exchange 2007 servers (like mine) as well.
I heartily second the disappointment in the email. For Exchange users Motoblur is a FAR WORSE experience than directly syncing with Android's built in utilities. I really miss the email on my Captivate... but that is the only thing I miss.

You miss Exchange on Captivate? - I can't imagine why -
I couldn't see my read messages, I couldn't edit appointments i created, I could not mark messages as read in bulk. Worst of all was the lag - even with Voodoo lagfix if i attempted to delete 5 messages it took forever. No GAL access or it was for email address only. No subfolder sync support either. So the Atrix is missing picture sync, that i can deal with. I can't search the server, but again, a minor issue for me.

From the reading that I did a few weeks back, it's a long-standing issue with the MotoBlur Exchange synchronization. HTC's Exchange synchronization does contact pictures, Motorola's doesn't.
We are using Exchange 2008 and my contact pictures also do not sync. This is a Huge thing for me.
Updated to 87, but no change in this feature. I was hoping this was a small thing that would be included when moving to 2.2.2. Looks like have to hold out hope until 2.3....
so I downloaded ENHANCED EMAIL, which IMHO has a better email handling program , but uses all the other stock programs for Contacts, Diary etc. it DOES SYNC pictures!
You need to remove your blur exchange account otherewise you get duplicates.
Enhanced email is easier to read, faster and just better IMHO
Hello, the Atrix has just been released in France and I'm fcacing the same problems : not possible to sync in Motoblur my contacts and Pictures of contacts.
Another big trouble, I'm not able to sort the contacts by Last Name/First Name : only First Name/Last Name.
It's a pitty as many other smartphones propose that (Samsung Galaxy S2,...)

I also have got the picture issue. it's very annyoing!
we're using exchange server 2010
about last name / first name: i've been looking around forums but it seems to be not possible with this version of motoblur. i installed go contacts which can sort contacts by last name.
Maybe it is a stupid question, but I search and search an answer and I did not find it.
Why Samsung has Kies, HTC has HTC Sync and Motorola has nothing to sync Outlook? (no Exchange)
I'm currently using MyPhoneExplorer ... because I don't want to sync contact ant calendar on the cloud.
Another question is there any ROM that allow us Atrix owner any sync app like those mentioned, HTC Sync or Kies? I know about CompanionLink, Syncdroid, etc.
Thanks, regards from Argentina.
Wouldn`t it be great if someone could get the sourcecode of Kies, modify it to get updates from a private server so it would allow for the uploads of any custom roms made by the community that are in the database..... That`s what we need!!

As far as I know Motorola has support for exchange. In the accounts set up the corporate email. And u should be fine. I may have not understood your question although.

Think I understand what the OP is looking for, as it's the same for me. Corporate email will work if you have access to your Exchange server. I cannot sync Outlook email through Exchange as my companies security prevents this (if you have a Blackberry or iPhone they let you sync. My company does not trust the security on Android). The closest I can get is syncing Contacts and Calendar, and I have only found 2 programs that do this effectively on the Atrix, one being CompanionSync (sync through GMail), the other being MyPhoneExplorer (Sync with Outlook). Syncing through Gmail with Google Sync is horrible, even with the latest version, and it doesn't play well with Meeting Room Manager either.
There is still no one stop solution for Motorola which allows you to sync Outlook email, contacts, and calendar.
<edit> There is also the following which I have not tried yet:

I knew there's a sync tool on HTC(HTC Sync), but really didn't need to use it daily. Are those stability issue or really useless tool that people get rid of it? Any suggestion?
No reply though! It seems no one admires this tool til now, I'm just curious why HTC and Google android can't build up the entire platform like iTunes. Or Google just doesn't wanna follow up what Apple done?
Personally I think it is useless and pointless. Removed as soon as I can
When I had my Evo, HTC Sync kept messing up my contacts birthdays and couldn't handle any variations in recurring appointments. I bought gSync and it is working flawlessly.
The latest version of HTC Sync is working well and without any problem. I am using it to sync my contacts and calendar with my PC. easy ans fast..
Has anyone noticed HTC Sync misses the last part of the information stored in a contact when it is bigger than a certain number of characters?
I know how to handle this in Active Sync, but not in HTC Sync.
Any idea?
Tanks.
I am still using the old version of HTC sync as when I update it can't recognize my mobile.

Hi.
On tuesday I'm receiving my first Window Phone, the Lumia 800. What is the first thing I should do with it after receiving the device.
I'm coming from android and the the first step with them devices where rooting it.
Are there something similar I should start with on tuesday with the Lumia?
Thanks in advance
Pemell
1) Run diag tool (##634# in dialer), check screen and full battery charge (must be > 1000mAh), audio. Try other tests.
2) There are no "root" for this moment, so you don't need this step.
3) Create and link your lumia to live.com account.
4) Update via Zune if there is some update.
5) Fall in love with wp7 and lumia design.
Before it even arrives, you should decide which web service you'd like to use to store your contacts (google or Live). Clean up the contacts on that account so that they'll already look good when they sync to your Lumia. If you use Outlook, then install the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail connector and it will sync your calendar/contacts from outlook to Live (again, make sure to have cleaned out Live first so that you don't get blending that you don't want).
Have fun with your Lumia. It's so nice to just hold on to.
Thanks! Really great answers.
I use google for storing contacts and calendar posts so I will clean this up before I get it, great tip. I know many of them need some updates.
As regard of the diagnosis, I read somewhere about a battery problem. Chipsaru: Is this a fact if I can't charge it with more then 1000mAh? I'll check it when it arrives.
Thanks again folks,
Pemell
With normal lumia you'll be able to charge it more than ~1200mAh.
But there are some faulty devices which has some problems with battery controller and it responds to diagnostic app value of full charge capacity less than 1000 mAh. It's known defect and nokia replaces this devices.

Does all of the Google Contacts fields synchronize properly with Windows Phone 7.5?
How about Windows Live Hotmail Contacts? I would presume that everything in the fields will synchronize properly due to the fact that it's a Microsoft controlled product.
I don't use too many fields. Just name, number, email, and address. Those seem to sync just fine.
I can't give specifics, as I started with Google and thought it was doing a good job... until I tried to migrate my calendar to Live using outlook. Had to change data files, but my contacts wouldn't just move right over. So, I figured since I have GOcontactSync that I could delete from outlook and resync. Yeah, big mistake. Google was syncing as planned and I lost a lot of data.
NOW? I use Outlook with the hotmail connector software and everything syncs seamlessly between phone, cloud, and pc.
There are some limitations in syncing with gmail. In google contacts you can set more than one mobile number for one person (phone number with badge "mobile"), but wp7 would not synchronize additional mobile numbers, only the first one. And there wouldn't be any error messages.
So be careful with gmail and check contacts with not usual fields.
