Hi all,
I have a HD2 T9195 with Windows Mobile. I run a product called Chaos Intellect in place of Outlook. I also use one of their programmes to sync with Outlook on my phone.
Intellect and Outlook display the same calendar entries but for some strange reason, the phone show some entries a day earlier! Very embarrassing when you wish someone a happy birthday a day early!
Anyone have any clues as to what the problem could be - date settings etc on the phone are correct and I can't find any adjustments in the calendar.

Hi,
I'm about to upgrade to the latest ROM, and I think I need to save my contact list before I do it - is that right?
However, in activesync, there is no check-box to tick next to contacts, so it can't synchronize them for me. I use outlook express, so I thought it should be simple enough. What's wrong?
Is there any other simple way of retaining my contacts during an upgrade, because I'm not really fussed about having them on outlook.
Thanks for any help,
Phil
without being sure then i think that use need to use outlook and not outlook express to have contacts
outlook 2k came free on the cd of both my xda1 and 2
Outlook 2002 is hacking me off
Aaargh - please help!!!
After Rudegar's suggestion to use Outlook 2002 rather than Outlook express, I fished out the CD that came with my XDA II and installed Outlook 2002 and activesync onto a new PC.
Activesync connects OK and tries to sync my contacts as I wanted it to, but Outlook is messing about, and the contacts end up unresolved. When I try to do anything to do with contacts in Outlook, it says "Could not open the Item - try again". Even simply manually creating a new one.
So I thought I'd set up an email account - perhaps I need one to have contacts, but the help file says to go to "Tools" and "Email accounts", but there isn't an "Email accounts" option on the tools menu!
Outlook is really hacking me off now - all i want to do is to have somewhere to store my contacts whilst I do a ROM upgrade - this is CRAZY!!
PLEASE help - this is doing my nut!
Phil

did you set up your mail account in the inbox of your device ?
if you click the account menu and choose new account you should begin setting up your account
about the resolve conflicting then under options in activesync there are a place where you set up rules as to how activesync handle conflicts
also people seem to be reporting issues with usb'ing their xda devices with
windows 9X (ME) series os
I'm not sure I understand - I don't actually use pocket outlook on the device. I was talking about setting up an account on my laptop so that outlook 2002 would allow me to have a contact list on the laptop which I would then use to store the contacts on whilst I do a rom upgrade on the XDA II....
contacts is pocket outlook along with the calander and tasks and appointments
if you mean that you had issues setting up an account on the outlook on the pc then choose tools
choose services
and add mail
there isn't a services item on my tools menu...

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 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.
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.
Hey there,
since the WP7 is designed for sync between FB, Outlook, Phone adress book, calendar, Twitter aso I was really wondering how about sync between contacts of any source to the calendar?
The point in detail:
Wherever you got some contacts you add, put them manual in the phone, use facebook sync, why is there no sync to the calendar? I mean, honestly, what for do people add so many information in their contacts like especially their birthday. So why is there no function to add these birthdays with an alarm to the phone calendar? Imho it's quite stupid to have the information in the contact, but no alarm for the birthday - so you need to create a reminder for each contact you want again by manual. I'm quite sure NOBODY checks out the contact details for birthdays, so it is meaningless to put this information there anyway.
Is there any solution for this? Maybe another reminder application for reading the birthdays out of contact details?
Furthermore, wouldn't it be nice to have got a navi software that can directly find the adresses of contacts in the phonebook? I mean you cannot even copy paste them...I think since the outlook contacts use xml it shouldn't be so hard to be implemented. Furthermore so far I never see any navi software that has got more than just 20 favorites...
Thanks!
If you add your contacts to Windows live, then their b'days are actually displayed as whole day events in your calendar. It even shows up in the lock screen. In calendar settings there is an options to turn off Windows Live Birtday calendar. Hope this is what you were looking for.
re
ah I see, so you need windows live. Thanks for the advice!
