Sync address book, calendar, etc with linux

Has anyone already tried to sync the address book, calendar, etc with any linux PIM application (evolution, kontact, etc.)? Does it work?

It must be possible by installing syncevolution on the computer and funambol on the phone, so the computer acts as a syncml server

Well - I know that it should be possible. In principle also my m600i should work, but it does not. Funambol is not really an alternative - but it works...
Has anyone tried it? Really want to know as I definitely prefer Linux in favor of Windows - simply by my work.

Sync Google Calendar with my HTC Diamond

Ca you help me, to find stand-alone mobile software to synchronize the diamond Outlook with a Google calendar.
I am not looking for a web site solution GooSync like.
I have tested GmobileSync, but it makes me some synchronizing errors…
Any information is welcome.
Thank you in advance

Hi, i use OggSync 4.19. It is easy and dont make any errors.

So you aren't interested in using a Exchange type solution? Like https://www.nuevasync.com/. It works flawlessly and can sync your contacts too. And it's free.
It's offline right now for a database rebuild (http://nuevasync.blogspot.com/) but try it out.

Personally, I think nuevasync is better, but it's a "web site solution", which you said you don't want.

I use OggSync too. Free version only syncs contacts though, the Pro version costs ~£30/year and can sync multiple calendars, even ones that have been shared with you.
It works well and you don't need a connection to a PC etc. I just wish there was a one off payment. I might look for a free alternative when my sub expires as I don't update my calendars or contacts much.

Just had a read and it only syncs one calendar. Doesn't look like it syncs contacts either, I know it's not what the OP asked for but I prefer the all-in-one solution.

I use oggsync with google calendar and its great. No errors. The pro version will allow you to sync contacts and multiple calendars.

My set up works well for me
WM Pocket outlook syncs with outlook on my home pc
google sync (official google app & free) syncs with outlook
Therefore everything gets synced !!!

second on oggsync. works great even with free version. Pro version can setup a auto-sync. you can keep it in background, and it will sync every given interval

Activesync with Lotus Notes

I'm wondering how to active sync with lotus notes?
I'm intressted in getting my calendar into my diamond, and have the contacts on the computer incase of an accident.
Any good way of making this work?

Activesync won't even sync with windows mail, only with outlook. Even under Linux it was not possible to sync anything.
I know this is not a professional answer - but I think it's a no go...

Upgrade your Lotus Notes server to version 8.0.1 and then utilise Lotus Traveler (which is included with 8.0.1) to sync mail/calendar/contacts, etc, with your phone after installing the Windows mobile Traveler Client...

Not sure what server we have at work, I'm home right now. Will check it out monday. Thanks for the tip captainsensible.

I used mNotes by Commontime for years - it's pretty good software and has been around for ages.

Will it work with lotus notes v 6.5 ?
This is the version we have at work so I guess the traveler client is out of question.

Yes it works with all versions of Notes, they have a free trial too so you can try it out.

sorry, but this is incorrect!
I regularly sync my XDA Diamond with Kontact - the KDE PIM
distribution is OpenSuse 10.3, you need "opensync" and "synce"
the installation is quite a pain and it took me some time to get it right, but it works!
the good thing about opensync is that it is a universal sync tool, once you connect, you should be able to sync with any application a plugin exists for (be it evolution, mozilla, palm, other mobile phones, syncml, ...)

hi if you want remote sync (OTA) you should use Notes Traveler, if you want local sync - you can choose Easysync pro from IBM. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/easysyncpro/

Sync TYTN II on Linux

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:
http://zedic.com/htc-tilt-8925-ubuntu.html

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.

Android - Outlook program

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
