With my new Galaxy Note 2 I'd like to sync calendar items, contacts and tasks with my desktop Outlook 2010. This seems not to be a big problem, using apps like myphone explorer a.s.o.
But considering the data model of Anroid it should be a problem, to have formatted notes beside the Outlook-items. This means colored fonts, bold fonts a.s.o.
Does anybody know an app that syncs that formatted notes between Outlook and android.
Greetings, pdahunter

Hi,
Since installing windows 7, I'm only getting a one way sync (PC to Phone) on my Outlook calendar. I use Outlook 2007 and this was working fine from Vista but now appointment entered on my phone don't copy across. Any ideas? Am I missing something really simple?

I am having the exact same problem.
Reading up on it, I found the solution. When creating a calendar event, you must select (the tab before you name your even) Outlook. This way, the events can be transferred to MS Outlook. For some odd reason, when I selected my gmail account, I get a contact error. I guess you can't have both?
There are separate calendars on your Hero. The Google one syncs with the Google calendar you have with your google account. The Outlook one syncs with Outlook. It means you can, for example use the Google one for your personal appointments and Outlook for work. You can set the calendar to show either or both at the same time.
Hi All,
I have been searching the web this afternoon and cannot find any resolution to an issue I am having and its driving me bonkers.
I have recently upgraded to Office 2010 32bit (including Outlook) and within this there is a very clever "Birthdays" view of the calendar which appears to be separate to the normal calendar. So on the PC I can see all the birthdays as all day events. However when I sync with the phone it doesn't bring this information across!
I have tried just copying the bookings from that calendar into the "normal" calendar, but it errors. I presume this must be because they are not actual calendar entrys and just created on the fly.
I am syncing using Windows Mobile Device Center via USB to my phone.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated, as otherwise I am highly likely to miss birthdays as my memory is shocking!
Have you installed OutlookConnector.exe for synchronizing Outlook with Hotmail or GoogleMail?
Do a right mouse click on birthday calendar and choose options to see to which account your birthday calendar is connected to.
For me it is connected to my Hotmail account.
Birthday calendar is not a part of the Outlook file system which is synchronized with your device, sorry.
And again I'm sorry I can copy birthday calendar entries by drag and drop or copy/paste.
The birthday view is just a view. A way to present the information in the calendar.
Built-in apps on phones typically does not support a birthday view. You can look for Pocket Informant (which is now free on WM, but the link is not easy to find), which offers lots of different views.
Or just conduct a search on birthday.
Ah thanks for the responses guys. Yes you are correct its taking it from Hotmail for some reason! Also, slightly bizzarely I just tried again to copy the birthdays across and this time its working. Very wierd.
I will also check out that pocket informant you mentioned about, keeping them split seems good if I can manage that.
Hi guys,
I have been used to using Windows MyPhone for doing a on-line backup of my contacts from WM 6.5. This application and Windows MyPhone service is gonna be removed, so I wanna ask, what I can use instead of that? I have never found some frontend application for WM 6.5, that supports SkyDrive.
Thanks for reply..
Use Live hotmail. When you sync with Windows Live, your mail/appointments/contacts will be sync.

This has always worked well for me. As far as i know there are two ways of doing it:
Use the Windows Live app, which will sync your contacts and email.
Use activesync which will backup tasks and calendar too, as well as push email (delivers email in real time, not limited to sending/receiving every x minutes. have a look at this page http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx or google exchange activesync hotmail
note that syncing with windows live will also download all your previous contacts from the server.
(not to hijack, but quick question: there's no way to sync contacts and not show messenger contacts in your windows mobile contacts for instance, is there?)
I had much more luck syncing with Google Calendar than with Hotmail Calendar. And it wasn't for the lack of trying. Syncing with Hotmail is like syncing with Desktop Outlook. Great while it works but once it's broken, it's broken for good. On the contrary, in about a year of syncing with Google I haven't run into a problem yet that I wasn't able to resolve. I am syncing Calendar, Contacts and email using ActiveSync, and tasks using GogTasks freeware. Contacts sync especially has been flawless.
If you can live with Google's limitations (no category support unless you buy a 3rd party app, have to jump through hoops to sync Tasks), I suggest you try that.
My main concern is to move my contacts from Nokia N95 8gb (Symbian) to Galaxy Note. I do not want to do Google sync as there's lot of contacts and email ids already in my Gmail account. I don't want to mix it up. I don't have an outlook account as well. Please tell me a way out.
Is there any solution for transferring messages, calendar and notes as well? Thank you.
A few days ago I bought a S7 (on 6.0.1), upgrading from my Xperia Z (on 5.1.1). As usual the first thing I set up was my outlook account with my calendars - I set up an Exchange account as well as through the outlook app (just like I have it on my Xperia). I use the outlook app for my emails and use Business Calendar 2 Pro as my primary calendar app/widget.
I have a few individual calendars on my outlook account. However on my S7, business calendar doesn't show the individual calendars, instead it has merged them all into 1 calendar. I made sure both phones are running the same version of both apps (outlook and business calendar). I also tried the native samsung planner app and other calendar apps but they all also merged the individual calendars into 1 calendar. Any ideas on how I can change it so that I can see my individual calendars on my S7?
I have screenshots, but can't post them atm, being a new user.
Thanks
