[Q] How to sync HTC Tasks with Outlook? - HTC One X+

Hi at all.
I had a HD2 (WM6.5) up to now using MS Active Sync (Mobile Device Centre) for syncing with Outlook for contacts, calender and tasks.
How does this work with One X+ (shipped ROM GER)?
HTC's Sync Manager only does contacts and calender (besides media files). Also tried to look up other tools but did not find a suiteable one so far. Also tried to sync Outlook with Google first and in a second step syncing Google with HTC Task. Did not sync at all into Task but in Calender only, which has not been to my favour...
So how?
I'd like to keep on using Outlook tasks as well as a task program on HOX+ syncing each other, together with calender and contacts of course...
Thanks for your ideas. And all the best for 2013 of course!
Cheers

Google Calendar and Outlook Sync

I have all my appointments on Outlook. Outlook syncs with my Google Calendar, which has the families appointments on too.
My new HTC Hero syncs with Outlook... it would seem it also Sync's with Google Calendar.
Now I have all my appointments in the Calendar twice! Is there a simple way not to show the Outlook ones? Should I just remove it from the Sync list in HTC Sync?
yes to the last bit.
I don't know of any way to clear it, but if everything is in google, reset it and sign in and away you go. everything comes back from teh servers.
Okay, thanks. Although, when I connect my Hero now, it doesn't show connected with HTC Sync... (I'm using W7)
Also, I've been to my Google Calendar online, lots of things were duplicated, so I've deleted them away. Google Cal Sync has removed these from Outlook, now I have some in Google Calendar and some in Outlook calendar but not all of them in both, even when I run Google Cal Sync...?
**pressed once, it posted twice?**

Calendar One way sync

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.

Outlook -Android -Google Calendar sync problem

Appointment created on Android phone will sync to Google Calendar, but not from GCal to Outlook.
Only difference between the appointment created in GCalendar directly and in Phone is the fact that Phone created appointment show myself as a guest in Google Calendar. When I remove myself as a guest, appointment will sync to outlook.
Calendars in Outlook, Google Calendar and Android phone are named as "myname"@gmail.com.
Appointments created in Outlook will sync to the phone just fine.
In the phone I have enabled only one calendar "[email protected]"
phone is HTC Hero, running NeORoM v2.1 (same problem I had with Villain 5.0)
edit: same with Villain 6.1
Sync for Outlook is Google Calendar Sync 0.9.3.5.
Sync method "two way"
any ideas whats wrong?
Doesnt anyone have this problem with 2.x roms???
you can see it from that thread:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5484
that lot of people have the same issue with the sync.
... this is the only obstacle that keeps me off the 2.x ROM...
solution is hugely appreciated...

[Q] Google Calendar Sync

I have Google Calendar Sync to sync my outlook calendar with my work google calendar. I shared my work google calendar with my personal google calendar. This way I can setup my appointments in Outlook and see them on my android phone. This was working before!
The scheme is this: outlook calendar -> work google account -> personal google account -> android phone. Now I can see the events in my personal google account but this events does not sync with android phone. If I resave the event on web google calendar then it is synced with android phone. If I create event in my work google account it syncs again.
But If I use outlook to create event it does not sync. Very strange problem!
If someone have a solution I will be appreciated.
I now use CM7, before with Stock Legend Rom it was synced succesfully
Since Microsoft directs both Microsoft Office and Windows Live Calendar, a Windows Live ID could fluently unify both services and have them sync under the same banner.
With that said, Android's support of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync also works for calendars. Connect that service to your phone and it should work great (and my experience, works better).
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I'm also using Google Calendar Sync (0.9.4.1) and it works. I put a meeting in Outlook and in short time appears on the phone...also when creating the event from phone, it appears in Outlook.
Make sure you have the sync "2 ways" selected in Google Calendar Sync options.

[Q] Upload contacts into SkyDrive with WM 6.5

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
