Is there any way to get push sync for contacts and calendar without an exchange server?
The windows live push email works great but it would be awesome if it also worked with contacts and calendar.
Hmm not really, I mean theres:
Yahoo Go! 2.0 (Sync Address book, it can auto detect changes in your entire contacts list and sync them, very useful)
Seven: Syncs contacts of who ever, this may do what you expect. Haven't tested it.
Goosync: Syncs Phone's calendar & Gmail calendar
The only thing I know of that will do it besides ExServer...

Some IMAP account support IMAP-IDLE.
That's some kind of push mail. After connecting and authenticating, you'll stay connected to your IMAP server. (Using a very small amount of data)
When there's new mail, it will be downloaded to your device.
Of course, that's not a solution for your contacts.
google SyncML
zimbra
You can use Zimbra (reputedly-'open-source' software, bought not long ago by Yahoo!) .
It holds documents, files, notes, spreadsheets, mail, calenders, rss feeds, contacts, tasks.... and more; as well as syncing with mobile device, outlook, thunderbird (using an extension), mobile devices, macs, etc...
You can sync with a mobile device using IMAP or using 'push' via activesync.
Syncing with a mobile device currently only works with mail, contacts, and the main calender.
Funambol is one that use (also open source), it can be a bit of a heavyweight setup though, just depends on what of thing your looking for really, Funambol can be used on all types of devices and be setup for a "Multiple devices to One useer" sort of thing, so you can keep your Mobile Phone, WM device, Outlook etc etc al containing the same info.

try visto push email.
go to preview.wirelessinbox.com
sign up an account
download a desktop assistant
now you can sync contacts, calendars, task and email over-the-air to your phone.
easy as abc .... by the way, the most impt thing is that it is FREE push email plus PIM management...
push using emoze
Emoze is a free program that will push both contacts and calendar. The only negative is that you must leave your home computer on as that is what pushes if you do not use exchange server.
There are many ways as you see. Some are server based, which is the way t go in my opinion, or you can you desktop forwarding thru many diifert companies. Intellisync makes a decent product & there is also Blackberry. I believe Meinyysis has written some great reviews & blogs about this very issue.

Its the best thing i came accross when i was looking for the answer to the same question, "Sync without exchange", its awesome IMHO as my friends and family use the server as well. Need to nuke your WM device whilst out and about but dont have your PIM backed up? Not a problem with Funambol, just tell the device to recover the data from the server, and there you go, Calendar, Contacts, notes.... etc etc....
That thing is a valuable peice of software that i wouldnt do without, only downside is that you have to have a PC running 24/7 to make the most out of it.

How do I obtain a free account? When I put in my phone number (AT&T), I get the following error:
This Mobile Number has not been approved to use Visto Mobile.
Any suggestions?
I am using Fedora 9 and the lightning plugin for thunderbird. I wanted to know if someone was successful in syncing the kaiser (using bluetooth or usb) with the calender in thunderbird? if yes can you please tell me how to do it ?
Easy. Google for Birdiesync and use that. It works - have bene using it successfully for ages.

1) Its not for Linux
2) Its paid, and i know there are solutions available which are opensource/free
ScheduleWorld
I use ScheduleWorld. It's free, and there are plugins for Lightning and WM. Google scheduleworld and sign up for a free account. Install the SyncSW plugin in Thunderbird. Install the Funambol and the compression *.cab in WM. It syncs Calendar and Address Book with no issues for me.
Hope that helps,

Just to add to eras2r's comment, as i was also going to suggest using the funambol tools as well, is that you don't have to use scheduleworld and put your data online. You can just run the funambol server locally, and use it as a focal point to sync TB and your device to.
As for a direct sync between TB and your PDA without the funambol server, i don't think there is anything else available yet for open-source/linux OSes.

Apologies to the OP - the result of skim-reading....
i tried schedule world but it doesnt find my kaiser....is there anyother way ?
my only requirement is to sync the calender items in thunderbird (using lightning) to my kaiser in a linux environment....if there is no option for thunderbird, i can also try sunbird for my calendering stuff

Scheduleworld is a service on the internet. You install SyncSW in thunderbird and configure it for your ScheduleWorld account. You then install Funambol + compression cabs on your kaiser and configure it for your ScheduleWorld account. Both thunderbird and kaiser sync to ScheduleWorld over the internet, not to each other directly. It's not a local sync. (Or you can run your own Funambol Server if you'd like). Hope that helps.

Alternatively dump TBird for Evolution and install "Synce" on your linux installation.
It allows you to sync contacts and calendar info using any PIM based software to your Win CE device.
PS: Google is surprisingly helpful with this....
Info for FinchSync, opensource and you should be able to get it to work with Synce on Linux

Windows?
I am running on Windows 7 and DESPISE microsoft outlook, is there a workaround? Scheduleworld is a fail, and I just wish this thing wasn't so old by I love Windows Mobile. Please help!
Hello,
Is there a way i can Sync my contacts and calendar on my TYTN II on Linux.
I use OpenSuse 11.1 and would love my contacts and calendar items on KMail.
Please do let me know if anyone has done it already.
Secondly lot of applications need ActiveSync. Is there a way of doing it on Linux?
SynCE
Ciao
The best solution for a single desktop sync is WinCE http://www.synce.org/moin/. Consider that the project is still in beta
I tried many times to figure out how to sync WinMobile with linux (evolution or thunderbird)
My personal solution is to use SyncML. I installed Funambol (www.funambol.com) server on Linux and than I'm able to sync with all the platform supporting natively SyncML or using a specific client.
The clients connected to funambol server are:
HTC tytn II - Win Moble 6.1
Motorola V3 - Java
Evolution - Centos 4.2
Thunderbird - Windows - linux
Outlook - Windows
Ciao from Italy in a sunny day
Thanks ton Ciao...
Let me try and see if that works.
Any updates on whether this worked or not? I am running Ubuntu (Ibex) and have been looking for a way to sync my ATT Tilt II
It has not worked for me using Synce. The device is not getting recognized even after troubleshooting it.
Trying to sync with funambol now. Will update by end today.
Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and I'm almost fully working. I've not tried to sync my contacts yet but I can view my device from nautilus.
Add the following to your /etc/apt/apt.sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu intrepid main
sudo apt-get install synce-trayicon
sudo apt-get install synce-gvfs
synce-tray is found under applications/accessories. I can view whats installed / Battery Status, but it will not create a partnership. Not tried yet to get that going.
Well it has not worked for me. Plain and simple.
I am on OpenSuSe 11.1 with KDE 4.2.
Fraginhell must be using Gnome as his desktop version because Synce-trayicon is for Gnome and not for KDE.
syncevolution, funambol and www.scheduleworld.com
Right now I am using the Funambol client to sync with the on-line calendar from Scheduleworld. The package evolutionsync syncs with Scheduleworld also.
Works like a charm. You can set your phone to sync say every hour, sync evolution with one click on an xterm command on your desktop, and view your contacts and agenda on-line where ever you are. Isn't that sweet?

Does Evolution and/or Schedule World actually work with Categories? I categorize my events so Phone Alarm can adjust my profile based on the meeting. I need it louder, or quieter, etc.
I have yet to see this actually work with anything except crappy Outlook.

I have seen schedule categories in Evolution, but i'm not sure about if, and how they are synced with Scheduleworld. I'd say: Give it a try...
not exactly what you want, but what i do is use mochasoft's ftp server on my kaiser and just connect through nautilus.
ATT HTC Tilt (8925) on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
I got my setup working with Evolution pretty well. I'm syncing my contacts, calendar, and Tasks using OpenSync, Synce, and the evo2-sync plugin. I'm also using the newer synce-gvfs package so you can mount and explore the mobile filesystem
I haven't go the Notes/Memos working yet. Another problem I haven't solved is getting my Birthdays and Anniversary from my address book onto my the phone calendar. I know I can just copy them to the Personal Calendar, but they wouldn't update automatically. I'm sure there's a way to use the file-sync plugin or maybe a bash script. I'll update the steps once I get that working.
Here's the link to my article:

Hello,
I would like to sync my TyTN II using Synce with synce-kpm in KDE4.
Internet Connection Sharing works very well, but when I connect the Kaiser to the PC in Active Sync mode, it is not recognized and no interfaces are coming up.
The only things I can read in dmesg are:
Code:
usb 8-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
usb 8-1: no configuration chosen from 1 choice
How can I get it recognized?
I only need to synchronize the calendar, so evolution support is not needed.
I use the synce 0.14 and opensync 0.22.
Sorry if this has been covered already, I did search but could not find a response that suited.
I was using an HTC Touch Dual, on plugging into my desktop dock it synced with Microsoft Outlook, this was appointments, contacts, calendar etc. I want to do the same with my N1. I assume I need an App that works in a similar fashion to Windows Mobile Device Centre? I did do a little scouting about but a lot referenced doing so via Google. I prefer a non-online method if possible, plug and sync.
Can anyone suggest the best app or apps to acheive this please.
You can check out 'missing sync for android'. They have for both pc & mac.
That being said, i'm afraid i can't be of any more help as i've not used it. Personally pefer syncing to google's cloud
totally new, what is google cloud? and thanks for the info, i'll check it out, in the meantime if anyoone else has any suggestions, please respond.
Additionally, can apps be installed to memory card? if so, how in laymans terms
wow, $39 dollars just to be able to sync :-(
Your Google account, which keeps all the data (contacts, calendar etc) in sync with your phone over the air (or actually, over the data connection or WiFi). It wasn't designed to be plugged in to sync.
Assuming you're okay with syncing your Outlook data via the cloud and not only looking for a direct (ie plugged in) syncing solution, then gSyncit is a good utility to use to sync Outlook data to Gmail account; it's $14.99.
I used to use it before I switched from Windows to Mac at home.
http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/
I use the Google Cloud too. My info is available in the same form on my computer, my phone, and online. Contacts and Calendar at least. Best part of that method is that if you flash your phone it auto-downloads all your info from your google account when you log-in to through first boot. No plugging in and resyncing. I'm on a Mac, and this is the easiest and cheapest option for me. I won't shell out for Missing Sync because it gave me nothing but headaches for my former WinMo device. Other files are saved to my SD card and I can move them around as I please. Either via USB transfer or Dropbox.
where do i find google cloud please

We're using the term 'cloud' here to refer to cloud computing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing) where data is stored by third parties (in this case Google) and accessed via the internet.
Essentially what we're suggesting is that you sync your N1 with your PC's data via Google, ie the third party utilities mentioned above can sync to and from your PC to your GMail account (calendar, contacts, etc). Your N1 will then sync to and from your GMail account.
HTH
many thanks, i'll check the info out, still a shame there is not an offline method, so far being the only downside since my change from htc touch dual on windows mobile.
tried gsyncit but when i click on settings I get an error, perhaps not compatible with windows 7?
Error = Interface not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040155)
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass.get_COMAddIns()
at gsyncit.TrayClient.frmMain.OnSettings(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Version = 1.15.27.0
got past the fault, have synced my outlook with my gmail account, however my phone is not synced with it, where am i going wrong please
In your phone it asks you for default account to sync with, when you just start it for the first time.
If you skipped that part - make sure you're on data connection (preferrably WiFi or fast 3G data), go to Settings / Accounts & Sync, press "Add account", add your Gmail account, and enjoy.

I'm running my copy of gsyncit at work on Windows 7 64bit without any issues - I run the 64bit release as I use Office 2010 there.
Best bet is check the faqs on the developer's site, or failing that contact Dave himself - I've always found him very helpful in the past.
i'm moving from Windows Mobile to Android.
However i cannot afford to lose all my contacts just because stupid Android doesnt synchronize with Outlook!
So i really need a link to a program that either:
1) Synchronizes one's Android 2.3 Device with microsoft outlook
2) Synchronizes one's outlook with one's Gmail account
the program must be free (one way or another ), i dont want to have to pay even more money for something google should have taken care itself.
thanks a looooooooot to anyone who can locate that program for me, cuz i tryed and all i succeeded in was to find hollow posts and a program that you need to pay for
It has nothing todo with Android or Google
Outlook is an Exchange client, and email client and a PIM (personal information manager), not a mailserver
Android's mail client and contactlists synchs with mailservers that can be reached online - like Exchange - if you dont use Outlook as an Exchange client but as a local PIM only it has no way of syncing with a PIM which is only a local database of information on your PC.
Synching between local PIM's and your Android device can only be done by software on your PC and its not Google's or Android responsibility to provide synching software for your PC for every kind of PIM that exist. This is the responsibility of either the PIM manufacturer or third partys, like phone manufacturers or others. In case of an LG phone synch software is supplied with LG PC Suite, install this and you will be able to synch between Outlook and your phone (not between Outlook and Gmail)
Exporting your outlook contacts to Gmail is very simple if you just want this
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ook-contacts-to-google-gmail-HA001148902.aspx
I highly recommend you start using Gmail as PIM instead of Outlook - atleast if you want an Android/Google phone and integration with this.
Once you've set up Gmail on your device, I suggest you use the free Outlook Connector. It now supports office 2010 (although not the 64-bit variety). That way, your Outlook e-mail (assuming you use your Gmail e-mail either as Pop or IMAP within outlook) and calendar are synced.
Or, if you prefer the 64-bit flavor of Outlook, you can do what I did: I use this program called gSnycit (it's paid software, though) and I use it to merge my data between the Google cloud and my PC/desktop. It's really useful too; by using it, I have the same e-mail across multiple android phones and even my 4th gen ipod touch.

If you want to sync your MS Outlook directly without Google, there should three possibilities/applications which are available legally for free:
1) LG Sync (don't know where to get, pls look at the LG webpage)
2) MyPhoneExplorer (Here)
3) Funambol (Here)
Cheers

I would rekomend that you yet Touchdown for android 2.2 does everything you are asking for at a low price..

Outlook to Android synchronisation
There is quick developpimg official tool: Android-sync. (As well as I am new here, it is not allowed for me to post a link - so, just add dot com to the "android-sync" and you are there)
It is free, syncing well android with Outlook - not finished.
So far it is syncing contacts (without pics/photos) without any issue, and calendar.
Authors promise to complete this tool with notes and tasks - it started somewhen in this January having cca 3-4 weeks period for new version...
I use it without any issue
LG sync ?3 on stock mobile does this really well. I was also worried about thistoo, but I am syncing at home and work outlook contacts and calander via this. Its on your internal SD card. downloadable too i think.
thank you all for your support!
i consider my question answered
