[Q] "HTC Sync" is useful to you? Any problem? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Sync Oddness

Ok, got the Hero (after a diamond and trinity) works nice BUT what is with the HTC Sync Thing?
Everytime it connects it udates random conacts from Outlook, so that at the moment the wife has 4 entries and some other numbers are the same yet others are fine.
ANyone else any experience and more importantly how to heck do I stop it?!
ta muchly
What? Really? HTC Sync lets you synchronize Outlook or Windows Address Book contacts on your PC with your Hero.

Just don't use it! there is nothing to say you have to use 'HTC Sync'.
I never use it as I don't want the contacts in Outlook to sync to my Hero. I just use my google contacts for this.
No there is nothing saying I HAVE to use HTC Sync however if I want to put all my contacts across in one easy go then the options seem a little limited.
Fixed it now just told it not to auto sync and that seems to have got control back to me
Glad to hear you got it sorted...
I know there are limited options when 'sync-ing' contacts to your Hero.
I used 'ExportContacts' app in the market to export all my 'old' SIM contacts into a csv file. I then exported my contacts from outlook also to a csv file which can then be imported into your Google account.
All to do then was to 'merge' all of the contacts in my Google account. This then syncs with the phone and I never bothered to use HTC Sync.
Makes sense, I dont use the google address book as I tend to keep the data useage to a minimum mainly as when at work we dont even have a phone signal, so prefer to carry everything "locally" properly, hence the much abused and hated outlook ;0

[Q] htc hero with 2.2 villainrom sync problem

I can't sync my newly upgraded htc hero to 2.2 villainrom.
Software used HTC Sync 3.0.5422
Does not detect the phone.
Detects as My HTC (driver version 2.0.x)
Fix?
I need to sync my contacts with Microsoft Outlook.
Thank you.
It isn't sense. You can't use Sync with it. There are many topics about this same issue. Learn to search...
The reason I posted is due to difficulty in finding this issue to be honest. I searched, but did not find much.
Now that I am aware that it is sense issue... There is no 2.2 sense? I tried FROYO_2.2_v1.8_Android_Stock + Sens 1.8 - still no luck with htc sync...
Any thoughts?
There is no HTC Sense on froyo for the hero.
Why not use Google or Exchange ActiveSync to do your syncing?

HTC Sync

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.

[Q]Linking to Facebook Contacts

Hi, im quite new to the prime, got it last night. I also have an HTC Sensation, and on there you can link contacts to facebook so all contacts have a picture and are synced with facebook.
I realise HTC sense it different from the mroe AOSP build of TFP but i was wondering if there was any way to link contacts in the people app to facebook?
I couldnt get facebook to add an acocunt in accounts and sync...
any help anyone?
thanks
I use FriendCaster on my HTC Desire (/Runnymede) instead of the sense-facebook integration. It works like a charm, because FreindCaster imports high def profile pictures. It also creates an account.
So maybe check out FriendCaster on your TFP. I believe it'll work the same?

Haxsync is brilliant app for Facebook contact integration, its worth the .69p! Would highly recommend
There's a few apps that provide this. I was using SyncMyPix for a while, but now I've moved on to Contapps.

[Q] HTC Sync manager after Jellybean update

Hi folks. I am just getting back to work after being out for the holidays. I updated to Jellybean and have been trying to sync to my Outlook calendar. HTC sync no longer appears to work so I removed that and added HTC Sync Manager. Well, this program will recognize the phone now, and will sync some calendar appointments, but misses about 70% of them. I have removed and re-installed HTC sync manager many times, but this still doesn't work. I'm on an XP computer from work. Previously the older HTC Sync worked flawlessly to sync all appointments. Any ideas?
Remove the previous HTC sync and plug in ur phone it should open an auto start with HTC sync and install it

I had this problem, sorted it by downloading HTC Sync Manager from the HTC site version 1.1.77.0, when it was installed the phone synced no problems, this is after having checked that the ealier 1.0.6... version of the software thought that it was the most up to date version. I was relieved once I found thatthe phone would sync again.

the version that you need can be found here... http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/download/
Thanks, gang. I tried various methods of latest versions, older versions, the whole nine yards; it still wouldn't sync all appointments 100%. I went ahead and just move all my appointments to activesync and just do it that way. I had to make a few changes to how my work mail comes in now, but at least i can see my appointments again.
Sync Manager Issues with latest Jelly Bean update
Hi,
I´ve downloaded the latest sync manager using the link given or doing it directly from the HTC web page.
These are the problems I´m facing with my HTC One X:
1. Cannot use sync manager. When I try to sync my music with my phone the sync manager crashes when it reached around 3%.
2. I cannot access the information I have on my phones hard drive. I saved some document using it as a USB a couple of months ago and cannot access them because my phone is not recognised as a USB.
I´m using a MacBook Pro and not sure If the issues could be related to that.
I´ve been trying to fix this for a couple of week but cant and don´t know what to do. I´ve tried to contact HTC and they are not of any help.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
