Does anyone know of a good and reliable way to sync with Outlook. I have a standalone Outlook setup for work, no Exachange or ActiveSync. HTC Sync doesn't even see this phone and the HTC Sync Manager the phone links to isn't available yet.
I have tried Android Sync Manager but that program is worthless. I can't get a status of the sync and when it finally stops nothing has been transfered to the phone.
Thanks

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.
when i first set up my HD2 to sync with my exchange server everything worked great. now when i add an appointment on my phone or computer it does not transfer back and forth. the active sync settings still show the calander checked for syncing but it does not work. has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you resolve it.
thanks.
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.
I downloaded and installed the lastest version of htc sync that is listed for my View. I wanted to sync my email with the email account that I set up on the View. The install went fine with no problems. I connected my view and selected the Sync option. Then the tablet displays "Finding HTC sync on your pc". But it never finds it. I have it running on my pc and it says no device connected. After a minute or so I get an error on my View that says it was unable to find htc sync on my pc. The sync software 3.0.5557. I am running windows 7 home premium x64 on my pc.
I removed the software and rebooted and installed again and this time it picked up the view. But it will not sync the email. Only the calendar and contacts from my outlook will sync. I guess you have to have an exchange account to sync the mail. For some reason I thought on the older phones I was able to sync the email.
To all the experts out there. I have a serious question (for me it is) for you.
Is there a program that allows me to wirelessly sync with HTC Sync? I know there is ADB programs out there, but they sync files. I want to sync my outlook contacts and calendar only, not transfer files.
I am using a rooted BAMF SoaB 1.04 Custom ROM with GoLauncher.
Anyone got anything?

Google calendar sync will allow yoou to sync your Outlook contacts and calendar with your Google account and Android device. Note: there are issues with the sync process, In my opinion this is not fully compatible with 64 bit win7XP or vista.
Good luck, easy to dl and set up
