Evening
I'm aware there must be a myriad of similar questions on here but I swear I searched high and low. Honest guv I did
I have a Galaxy S3 and a shedload of Outlook Notes that I would dearly love to have on the phone
I exported them into Google Drive via Outlook Visual Basic
I can sync TO the drive from the phone, but not the other way round
Any suggestions please?
Apologies in advance for the clutter
Not entirely sure what you trying to do here, but try Drop box
Thread moved to proper forum.

I was trying to get S Memo to import my Outlook Notes, and have both DropBox and Google Drive
Transpires this just isn't possible at all, unless anyone knows different!
Used Evernote instead. Still can't synch with S Memo which is annoying, but works just fine
Cool thread bro

Hi
I have a question for you - how do I get contacts to show in the address book from an exchange server.
Emails are sync'ed, but can't get contacts to show
Im not sure what exactly it is called in english, but I should be able to show something like "globale contact list". On HTC Desire I can go into "Corporate" and see the contacts, but on SGS2 I dont know how to show contacts at all.
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Noone at all?
Corporate Address Book App
Its one of the basic functionality that should have been a part of the stock s2 email app but unfortunately its not there.. Tried searching for it and most of the apps are either paid or of no use..
This so far is the best available free app for the purpose, using it for around 2 months now:
market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL
or
code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/
Thank you very much. Looks promising
Exactly what I was looking fore. Thx

Why not use Touchdown for Exchange?
I have a Samsung Galaxy I-9000 (Android 2.3.3). I want to sync it with my Microsoft Office Outlook on a daily basis in pretty much the same way I did my HTC Polaris: Using a cable together with ActiveSync. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Google has a download to sync the calendar with Outlook.
You can use my app Local Sync. Commercial apps are vcorganizer, companionlink, etc. however they do not provide enough value for money they ask.
Hi
I use the trial version of ANDROID-SYNC (only for 20 contacts and 20 calendar entries to sync) and it seems to work fine.
Device: htc Topaz
OS: FroYo FRX 07.1
Android sync supports only contacts and calendar and is extremely expensive for almost no features. If somebody prefers waste money then rather those apps I mentioned (although in case of companionlnk one will pay with support more than Outlook price, which is beyond insane for some trvial app cost more than Outllok itself)

Moving to Q&A
@ondrejP
maybe that people want only to sync contacts and calendar. And what kind of use has a programm that is for free but do not work whis the system you have (office 2003).
by the way i took a look at local sync and it seams to be a good work. If my office will be upgreated i try it again.
outlook sync with android
I posted my answer here but later noticed (above) that my answer belongs to Q & A section of the forum. Search there for "How I sync outlook on my android device". Cheers
HTC Sync software is too good!!!!
It's the only reason I'm still hesitating to jump to a shiny new Samsung.
If there is any good alternative software that can sync Outlook (mainly contacts and calendar I guess) to Android in an offline manner (e.g. USB or WiFi, not though cloud or Gmail acct), I'd love to try it.
Check my comments above yours
Hi Guys, hope this thead is approppriate here.
I wonder how do you manage your contacts, for me it turned out very messy. Well I don't really have problem with Google contacts, but since our phones are also capable to show FB and many accounts contacts i would be awesome to combien all the useful infos....something like ENHANCING my Gooogle contacts using other accounts infos (like picture ansd birthdays, among others)
I don{t know if this is a temporary issu....but My FB contact are not synching well and and pictures are not always synched.
I used to have an iPhone 3gs and ther was this app called "MyPhone+"....was very handy......anyone know something like this for Android!
Hope you can help me....!
Thanks!

you can manage contacts over here https://www.google.com/contacts/
If you only need to add the syncing aspect, Friends Sync by WATTO Studios is my Fave. It's consistent, small, fast, & syncs more fields than other apps. The logo is ugly, though, IMO.

from your account of Gmail , enter the version web and edit your contacts, it works for me.:good:
Windows Phone has an option of linking two or more contacts. Quite useful. There must be an easy way in Android as well.
When you go to Contacts and select any contact, there should be an option to join contacts. You can cut out the duplicate entries this way and have all the info show up on one name.
When you join contacts it's works but if you wipe flash new rom all changes revert back

Google Contacts the very first time is a mess, but after you reorganize all your contacts everything works simple fine
Myphoneexplorer is quite good for cleaning up contacts. Used to allow merging but for some reason that got taken away.

I keep all my contacts in Microsoft outlook on my PC and sync using "myphonexplorer".
Categories in outlook sync with groups in both stock android contact manager and "go contacts".
I prefer "go contacts" to the stock contact manager because if fully customizable and allows group messaging without the cap on number of contacts also group chat..
"Myphonexplorer" syncs contacts, messages, calendar, and files via usb and Wi-Fi. Also allows you to text from your PC.
The only things missing from "Myphonexplorer" is mms and group messaging from PC which would be really nice.
Both "Myphonexplorer" and "go contacts" are free in the play store.

Not if you sync them to Google after you have them sorted the way you want.
i don't want to open a new topic just for this question, so i'll post it here:
When adding a new contact to a google account from android, is there any way to auto insert that contact to a custom created group? I keep forgetting to add the new contacts to a specific group and i want this operation to be done automatically, any solutions?

vCard sucks.. it doesnt support enough kinds of information, such as categories.. it doesnt work worth crap for CJK Characters either.. I cant believe every single program for Android only supports vCrap anyway.. but its all we have for now I guess... Windows 7 only has vCard 2.1 support.. .. but, it could be remedied on the software end by a program that would allow you to group contacts by a specific field.. you could then use one of the other existing fields as a "Categories" field...
there arent really any good programs from what I've seen.. honestly, I think i need to learn how to program an Android app just so I can find something useful so i'm not always stuck in suckville
but then, i dont think android will be around much longer.
Hey everybody,
So I recently picked up my first tablet. Since I have the galaxy s3 for AT&T, I decided to get the galaxy tab 2 10.1. Ive had it for a few days and I absolutely love it! Although earlier today I started adding things to the default calender that comes installed on both the tab 2 and my gs3.
My problem is I cant seem to get my events I created on my tab to show up on my gs3. Both devices are using the same gmail account so they should sync just fine right?
I did do some research before posting this, but I didnt find any definite answers.
If someone could maybe shed some light on what the issue may be, that would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!
Check that web sync is enabled on the google account web page.
Also be sure sync is enabled on mobile devices settings as well.
Finally, double check that you are indeed using your Gmail account calendar and NOT the local storage database.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.
