[Q] Exchange Task sync Android 4.2.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Is there a good app to sync Exchange tasks with my S3 when running CM10.1?
- I tried Moxier
- I tried RoadSync
- I tried Tasks for Microsoft Exchange
Problems i had with these are:
- I like the integration with the OS of the standard mail and calendar ==> Exit Moxier & Roadsync
- My exchange requires a security certificate that needs to be handled by the app ==> Exit Tasks for Microsoft Exchange
The reason why i'm asking the help of you guys is because i don't want to test every app out there, configure it and ask for a refund if it doesn't work (all within 15 minutes).
Any ideas?
Regards
MrHubris

No one with any input in this matter?

Is no one but me missing such an app??

I do !
And I've found this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.inote
Give it a try, it is the only Activesync Tasks app in Google Play. I've debugged it with the developper, many features are coming.
Ah wait, I'm not sure it supports Certificate based auth, maybe you could ask the developper, he is very responsive.

Thx for the reply.
I tested the app but it's not updating task (or notes). Neither is it giving an error. Very weird.

It's activesync based, not OWS. Could it be the problem?

Well, from my understanding it's activesync.
Reason i'm saying, is because touchdown works and says "successfully configured via ActiveSync".
Do i need to configure the app? It seems to detect my "corporate" account from the start. I also noticed that when i go into the account settings of the app there is no way for me to "insert" the certificate.
I believe my question is:
- Should it autodetect the exchange settings (when an account is already configured for email and calendar) or not?
Regards
Mr_H

Ok then you may want to get in touch with the dev.
It probably has to do with the auth mechanism. At least on my side it works properly but i'm using a login/password auth.

It is missing key features, like Status and % Complete.

I m missing the same functionality. As far as I know all the roms from the productors (like sense, touchwiz etc.) have this functionality. But I did not see it on any of the AOSP or AOKP roms which I tested. I used touchdown on my legend but that also lacks the integration with native calendar. When I lately switched from sense to CM on my one s few days ago know I also looking for a solution for this tasks problem. notes is not important for me but tasks are a must for me. I m looking for notes and task for now since its the only option supporting activesync as far as I can see. but we somehow make google note that this should be an out of the box feature for android if it is tought to be a serious phone. I believe reason behind it is being neglected by google is that google thinks android as a platform or an environment not an all included application pack. but when it come to serious use if something important is missing and developers don't come up with a solution big guys should give it a hand and I believe this is the case here.

[ROM] [Shameless Kang-Bang] Core CM-5 w/Exchange Apps [03-25-10]

NOOB WARNING: Only flash this if you have nandroid backup experience using custom recovery and have flashed roms before!
This ROM is a repackaging of CyanogenMod-5 for Nexus One (STABLE) [03/23/2010 / 5.0.5.3]. Basically... I've added in the working MOTO "Exchange Calendar" and "Global Address List" APKs for those who need Exchange ActiveSync with calendar and corporate directory (does not sync Outlook tasks).
Do thank Cyanogen and buy him a beer since this ROM is completely his work along with all others credited on his blog!
For info on CyanogenMod ROM please check the above links with lists of specs and features. I'm just a smartphone business-poweruser needing MS Exchange corporate mail plus corporate calendar and thought I'd share my paste-n-bake of CM for those who might care to see if it works for them.
The reason for this is so I might get a chance to pickup a skill or two and I am just starting to learn the basics of using the dsixda kitchen and have just starting reading up on java programming. so, I am sure that many of your questions will surpass my ability to answer them intelligently (if at all). Be gentle
Please support XDA and the individual developers by donating!!!
Changes to CM:
Replaced the cyan colored Nexus boot animation with original full color Nexus boot animation.
Added MotoCAL
Added MotoGAL
Added Logger (noob friendly logcat app)
Added WiFi Tether
Google Apps version combines both CyanogenMod and his separate Google Apps update.zip into a single rom plus the above and these apps and widget:
AccuWeather Widget
Astrid Task/ToDo
Astro File Manager
Quickboot (utility app reboots direct to recovery)
SpeedTest (3G download/upload monitor)

try system/app. adb push there. that worked for me on cm505. not sure about 5051 or 5052 or 5053 since i skipped xxx1 and xxx2... and have used my rom from xxx3. in this rom the apks are in system.
thanks. this is exactly what I'm looking for. thanks for sharing your hard working to us. although i believe it should come from stock build, like what iphone & Windows phone can do.

Nothing to do with pushing the apk file. Sounds like you have Exchange 2007 and your administrator does not allow unprovisionable devices. See if you can talk him/her/them into changing that.

sorry to hear that. if both the apks installed and you can actually run the apps with no fcs, then you may want to check with your system admin at work to check your user exchange account settings for mobile activesync. ...but you probably already know that. when setting up your work email did you check both ssl and accept all certs?
good luck searching xda for solution and consider reporting back solution if found.

Exchange Contacts not Syncing
Sorry for the bother. I used this as my first ROM on my new Nexus One mainly because I wanted to get the Exchange Calendar Syncing. I went through all of the steps that I have found elsewhere and successfully installed your modification. The problem that I am having is that even though the phone says it is and has synced the Exchange Contacts nothing appears in the contact list. I have tried all of the options for displaying contacts, that I can find in the phone but nothing seams to help. The strange thing is that I can add a contact in the phone and it will appear in Outlook.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
Didn't work for me ! but ... looking into old stuff I found some old HTC Hero .apk for exchange apps .. If this works , ill post them here ...

Something that took me awhile to setup for my boss (I'm the IT admin for a business) is to make sure that you're not using Personal Folders for the location to save your e-mail, contacts, calender events, etc to and switch it to Mailbox - "your name" in the Mail preferences in Control Panel if it isn't already set that way. If it's set to Personal Folders, your info is only residing on the server for a moment and then getting saved to your local computer. If that isn't the solution, next to to check the Event Manager / Exchange Manager on your Exchange server and see if it's even making a connection.

That is all setup correctly and did work on the stock ROM. I used the Logger this ROM included and found the following Error Message:
E/Contacts(###### ######)(352): Uncaught exception in EasSyncServicejava.lang ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
The ####s are the name I chose for the Exchange sync account.

good luck following chesh420's suggestion below. can you tell us if your exchange calendar is activesync-ing ok? ...and...can you access your exchange global address list using the "corporate directory" app? i hope the rom works ok for you ...that is why i'm asking
btw... spend a few bucks in the market and buy "pure calendar widget" since it is a clean tool to display the combined appointments of exchange calendars, google calendar, and astrid to-do tasks in a variety of widget sizes and skins.

[Q] How to Sync Tasks & Memo with Google?

Hey,
I have two issues and two questions regarding them......
1) I would like to sync the Tasks app. with Google however I do not see Google in the Sync Task profile only my Samsung account.
2) I'd like to sync the Memo app. with Google. It says that I'm not logged in to Google Docs however when I put both my email and password in the login tab does not light up, if I use a different email address it does.
As an added note I also declined a popup from Google about permissions to see what would happen. The window disappeared and nothing did happen!..... At least thats what I thought till now! Not sure how to undo that and suspect that's the problem!
I have also tried to remove my Google account, this only seems possible if you hard reset-which would have to be a last resort for me. I've also been on to my Gmail and Google docs setting via P.C. and am unable to find any setting there that would be affecting these issues.
Any Ideas on how to fix this?
I also have this problem and can not solve it.
I have google docs installed on my phone, but the e-mail address which is registered does not end with gmail.com but a different domain. I can use google docs without a problem but I can not login inside Memo to sync it with my google account.
Any ideas?
I prefer this app. Works great for me http://www.appbrain.com/app/gtasks/org.dayup.gtask

Is very good (I use it a lot)... But doesn't solve the sync of Memo... Any recommendations?
i use document to go for google doc... they work fantastic!
Since there's still no way to sync memo with google, i just use Simple Notepad. Color note sounds good too, it supports online back up and sync but haven't try it yet ...
Im using Mobisle Notes. Is very good, not perfect... But... the best u could find.
Any solution on this problem? I also would like to sync my task and memo with my google account. But when I hit the "Sync task" only Samsung Account is available for sync. When I hit the "Add Account", I can only add Exchange ActiveSync account".
I read in this forum and elsewhere, many have successfully sync their task with google task. I wonder is it really possible to sync stock task app with google task? Maybe it is the bug of my ROM. I am using stock ROM Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Use Google docs ore dropbox

Thanks for the information. But since the Tasks is already available for TouchWiz, I would rather use the built in Tasks app. I think the only way is to configure the Gmail Account as an Exchange ActiveSync account. There is a sample configuration for that in the Internet.
Sorry, you mean Task or Notes is on TouchWiz?
Also, can you post the "There is a sample configuration" you mention?
I would like to see it.
Thanks!

[Q] Should I switch from WM6.5 to Android ?

Hi all, I have a HTC HD2 which is running fine, but looking at Android, I reckon my phone could be even better.
Why do I use Windows Mobile ? Simple, I'm dependent on Outlook on my laptop. This is my work tool, and I cannot go without my email, tasks, calendar and contacts. No compromise. And I use pop3 with my own domain.
Now, the only thing that prevents me to switch over to Android is ActiveSync, or an equivalent, that would sync emails AND calendar AND contacts AND tasks.
As far as I know, that's not possible. I found various apps to sync calendar/contacts but NOT emails. Or vice versa.
Am I correct in this statement ?
And no, I do NOT want to sync over the cloud using Gmail (let alone an Exchange server which I can't afford). I want to keep it as it is : pop3 to and from Outlook, then sync via USB/Bluetooth.
If there's an app out there, bring it on !!!
Thanks.
Boags
I am ex winmo (4 phones ago) and think you will find it very hard to go no cloud.
The best solution I could then recommend would be to run a local mail server on your laptop and then sync over your wlan. You could do this using a receive only function on a nix based mail server.
Lot of effort... sorta like re-invemting the wheel.

Did you try apps from Google Play store like Maildroid or K-9 mail or Touchdown Exchange? I use maildroid and email syncs just perfectly. The stock email app can sync mail and calendar !
Looks like you're stuck with WM since there isn't an equivalent for Android or IOS. My first smartphone was a WM6 device and I wasn't impressed. Pocket IE is garbage, thank goodness for Opera Mobile and Mini. WM6's constant memory leaks meant rebooting my phone almost daily if I opened any apps. ActiveStink may be well and good for heavy Outlook users but for someone who just wants to transfer files to and from PC not having USB mass storage in WM6 was a BIG MINUS.
Here's the cherry on top - WM7 & WM8 phones will not be compatible with apps you purchased for WM6 so your phone is already obsolete.
I guess you can do as maskslash suggested or find another contact/task management tool on your that does the equivalent functions which also works with other smartphone OSes.
Or upgrade to WM8.
Otherwise your WM6 handset joins Symbian users - stranded on an desert island.
Well you have the best phone out there if you want to dual boot Android and WM. Android and others all rely on the cloud these days, there really isn't anything out there like Outlook/Activesync anymore.
Thanks for all your replies guys, you've confirmed what I thought. I'm actually looking into getting MsExchange somewhere, but it sux Outlook-USB-WM is no longer an option.
Cloud may be good for western countries etc but currently I live in Asia-Pacific in remote areas where Internet is at best 128k, when it works. POP3 and local sync is the only option for me.
Oh well I guess I'm a dinosaur then

[Q] Is there a way to make my S4 look like a GNex for exchange email purposes?

Here's the deal - I want to add my corporate email account to the stock app on my S4 however - my company has stopped approving individual Android phones to the network. They now want me to use the 3rd party app Touchdown, which I don't want to do.
My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus and was able to successfully use the activesync exchange. Is there a way to trick my company in thinking I have a GNex (approved phone) so I can use the native app? Changing the phone name in the build.prop file didn't seem to work.
I'd prefer to use the S4 native app but if I can pull the stock app from the GNex, that works too.
Thanks for your help!

I can't really answer your question, but have one of my own to you. What's wrong with Touchdown? I actually prefer it since I only have to enter my pin when I launch the app. When I configured the stock app for Exchange I had to enter it every time I woke my phone which drove me crazy. I acknowledge it's a personal preference thing.

Stock looks so much nicer. Looks like an app actually created for JB. Touchdown looks like a blackberry app from 2003. I like the way stock integrates with my calendar.
Also, I used the modified version of the stock app so I didn't have to enter a PIN

While I agree that visually Touchdown is not as nice as the stock app, it will sync the phone's native calendar with exchange.

Do you know how? My understand is that while it may sync with contacts, it can't sync with the stock calendar.

When you setup the account in Touchdown you just select the Calendar to sync.
I have used it on many different ROMs and since my Galaxy Nexus. I have noticed that sometimes it can take a while for the events to appear in the calendar. (A couple hours at times at first.)
I think you are SOL. The Exchange server you will connect to can (and is probably configured) to check a unique hash generated from your current phone that is registered at the first sync that was done on your GNex. There are hacks out there, but I have no idea how well they work.

I'm a little confused here. So you can use your phone but only if you use Touchdown. Does touchdown connects to your network some special way? What error do you get when you try to use your S4 mail app?

I've been using Touchdown for a few years now and I really like it but I've never found a way to have the Touchdown calendar copied/synched/etc to the phone's built-in calendar. I know this option exists for the contacts but I just checked all of the settings in TD again and an option to do so with the calendar does not appear to exist. Please tell me how you accomplish this?

When you initially set up the account it gives you the tick boxes for email, contacts, and calendar. I select email and calendar but not contacts and it has always synced my calendar.

Correct. I was told by my internal IT that they do not authenticate individual models of Android phones anymore for activesync (because there is so many different versions. ugh.). So they tell you that if your device isn't already on the list, you need to use Touchdown. I was able to use the stock app on the Gnex, but can't on my S4. The error message simply says "Setup could not finish: Authentication failed".
I was hoping there would be some way to manipulate the app so my phone would appear as a GNex to the network.
Now that the S4 had been out for a little bit I will give this a bump and hope someone had a solution Please help . Thanks!

And see the post from 12-18-2012, 11:55 AM alvarez13.
One of the many times I restored I did have a problem with FC's and created a step 6...
6. If this doesn't work just remove those two apps from the app folder and install the 2 apks from the SD Card. Then run TIBU and convert email to a system app, if it errors reboot the device.
If all else fails you just remove those two apks, and rename the original files back and reboot. Of course as always....
Please make a backUp when trying any mod, I am not responsible if your phone breaks. Yada Yada :good:

Sweet Jesus that did the trick. Thank you so much. You are the man. :good:

Calendar widget that shows outlook.com tasks from Exchange ?

Don't know how many people realize this, but Outlook.com is the only free cloud service that would let you synchronize your email, calendar, tasks and contacts between MS Office Outlook and Android and iOS without having to install any software on desktop.
This is huge for people working in managed application environments where you can't install any apps on work machines and use Outlook for company emails.
Google requires a paid 3rd party sync software, and Apple requires installation of the free iCloud.
Outlook.com account can be set up in Outlook app without any 3rd party downloads, and at least in Outlook 2013 will sync email, contacts, calendar and tasks (no Notes). You can then get all of this on your Android or iOS device by setting up an EAS account.
Now, the problem.. so far the only Android widget that I could find that would show both the calendar and the tasks from Outlook.com is Samsung's Mini Today. The problem is, it's not available unless you use Touchwiz.
There may be some paid widgets - I didn't want to pay $ upfront only to find out they didn't work. But so far each and every free or freemium widget I tried would not show Outlook.com tasks.
Any suggestions ?

You are speaking from the bottom of my heart. I am in quest for other than Samsung TW calendar & tasks widget for over a year, from the beginning I have an Android device. Until now I have not found a widget that would be able to show calendar & tasks from Microsoft Exchange account that is used in our managed enterprise environment (and I tried them quite a bunch).
It is actually one of the main reasons why I stick to TW ROMs. MS Exchange Calendar & Tasks is a must for my work and personal life and I would like to have everything in one place.
Even worse, the S Planner widgets are not available in alternative launchers - only in TW launcher. And that really is an annoyance.

I would be even willing to pay for something that works but so far I have found nothing.
So, in fact, no suggestion, just crying and complaining :crying: (and hoping that someone would point to something I have overlooked).
