Free sync and backup pocket outlook to Google account

http://www.nuevasync.com I just set this up through the exchange server feature in activesync. It is an over the air sync to google calendar and contacts in gmail. (No pictures with the contacts in gmail ) I had a problem with duplicates at first, but I think that was because I was trying oggsync, goosync, and nuevasync at the same time. It appears to be working fine now. There are other options out there, but this one appears to be the easiest and free-est one out there without limitations. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am.
!Backup your stuff with PIM backup or something similar before you sync just in case!

very nice i will try it now
thanks chiles
with this we can now also change devices, roms, etc withoug worrying about PIM data loss

Can you set categories in Google Calendar and it sync over? That's my biggest annoyance, I 'need' categories in order to have PhoneAlarm do specific actions for me based on the event category, such as "Work meeting" quietens everything, but there are some others that set the power on time different, or make the sounds louder, etc.. That all works with using Outlook to sync, but I haven't seen an online solution that works yet.

I haven't tried. I seem to remember that goosync would dumb down your category to the one default category. It might have been an old version or something. Good luck with it though! I just looked and I didn't see any category option on the google calendar webpage.

Well...My contacts lost their pictures on the gmail contacts page. This doesn't keep all of the information. I also lost my throttle contact category information. It's good for a sim card backup tho

I haven't used it myself yet. However, on quick inspection, the settings page recognizes multiple calendars, so it might sync in separate categories. There doesn't seem to be an option to only sync contacts with phone numbers, so I don't want to use it yet because gmail creates new contacts for those you email.

gave it a try and seems to work well! i only sync my calendar(s) and fits to it almost perfectly. the only problem is.. i'm having multiple calendars at my google calendar, and i cannot decide which calendars to sync. anyways that's better than goosync, only one calendar can be selected to sync.. otherwise have to upgrade to pro.. :E

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was using scheduleworld with the funambol client, but that stopped being able to connect. I would like to try to us nuevasync, but for as simple as the setup instructions are my activesync says that "Microsoft exchange did not accept my logon credentials". The server source is setup per the instruction on nuevasync site. I am running the stock ATT rom with WM6.0. I haven't knowingly changed any of my network settings and internet and email still work properly, but I can not get either funambol or nuevasync to work. Any thoughs would be appreciated.

Google Sync with Diamond

Hey everyone,
Google recently released official sync support for Windows Mobile devices. Google Sync supports synchronization with Google Calendar and Google Contacts. Instructions can be found here.
The issue is that the instructions and respective screen shots do not correspond with the Touch Flo interface, and I see no way of inputting a server address within the Diamond's ActiveSync client.
Does anyone know how to set up Google Sync with the Diamond? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Elliot

Just follow the instructions from the link you provided.
I will start you off:
Start>Programs>ActiveSync>Menu>Add Server Source....
..and then follow the instructions from your link!

Thank you! I was confused because it asked for my email address before the server address. My calendar and contacts synced almost perfectly, but I still have a couple of issues that maybe you could resolve:
1. Despite that everything synced, ActiveSync shows an "Attention required" message that says,
"Synchronization could not be completed. If this condition persists, try deleted and then re-creating the device's sync relationships.
Support code:0x80004005"
2. Is there anyway to get the Diamond's calendar application to recognize and distinguish between the multiple calendars I have in Google Calendar?
Thanks again,
Elliot

Google sync is used only for contacts and calendar sync, so if you check the mail or task in the option of activesync, you will have an error.
Just check contact and calendar and enjoy.

I've had no luck in getting this to work. Always get this error 'ActiveSync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct' Support code: 0x80072F78
Any ideas?

It will work as I've tried it setting up sever on the diamond, but you can also do it via activync.
I have stopped using it as I would get a couple of good syncs then the same error messages as your getting.
Also google and outlook do not play nice with each other.
All my contacts revert to Lastname_Firstname on my diamond, and the "file as" gets messed up.

Just configured the sync options on my Diamond (1) with WM6.5. But the contact sync works fine, but none of my google calendar items will appear in the calendar of my Diamond.
Is this due to WM6.5? Or are there other possibilities?

Well I successfully synchronized my HTC Diamond. But after this the ActiveSync on my handset would start automatically after regular intervals creating memory issues for me. I tried all the methods available on this forum to solve this problem but finally I had to Hard-Reset my handset. So pls try this on ur own risk.

I just configured my phone to sync every 4hr on and off-peak times, but only told it to sync contacts and it seems to be working pretty well.
Hopefully, this will reduce the amount of time it spend syncing and then I can let OggSync manage my calendar. Unfortunately, I synced my calendar and contacts first so I now have a bunch of duplicate events on my google calendar.
I wish I had know about this months ago... doh! Thanks!

[Q] how to get my TD2 calendar to sync with Google Calendar?

Hi,
Hopefully this is not a dump question, but could someone tell if it's possible to get my TD2 calendar to sync with Google Calendar? I get there by browser, but it would be nice to get the events in my Google Calendar to be shown in right in my TD2 calendar (the one shown in my today screen).
If so, is there a simple instructions for it, so that a beginner like me could get it right.
ThanX a Lot!

You can sync your Topaz with outlook. And sync outlook with google calendar. There is a tool to automatically sync outlook with google calendar

If you have unlimited data plan, then use ActiveSync to directly sync with your google account. You can sync emails, address book and Task as well.
TQ

O Thanks a lot!
I got the calendar sync'ed when I leave the other stuff (tasks, contacts...) unchecked. It seems that my TD2 gets only the first of my calendar categories from Google Calendar, as I have several of them. But thats better than nothing. With tasks and other stuff there is still something I don't get right, it keeps giving me 0x80004005 error.

Sorry, but Tasks cannot be sync with Google.

Google Calendar Entries...

Hi,
If I add an entry on my HD7 it doesn't appear in my Google calendar. I manually sync as well as use the timed function but entries still won't go from the phone to Google calendar.
Whereas if I delete an entry on my phone, it gets deleted immediately from my Google calendar.
Has anyone got an idea how to get entries entered on the phone to appear in Google calendar?
Note: Windows Live is a dead loss with both contacts and calendar so Google might be my last chance of syncing Outlook & phone.
Cheers...

Are you using multiple calendars? WP7 doesn't support multiple google calendars, maybe its something to do with that?

No, just the one basic calendar.

Does that mean you can add, edit and delete entries without problems with your Windows Phone to Google Calendar?

I have been doing that since day one and so far it has always worked like a charm.
Check your settings going to Settings\email & accounts\Google and make sure you are synchronizing the Calendar.
What I really find odd is the fact that the entries are deleted but not added...
Anyway, I add and delete things to the calendar in my HTC HD7 and they reflect to Google as soon as I sync and vice versa. It works!
As a foonote, MS calendar also works flawlessly.

Thanks for you post... whilst I find MS Calendar works fine (if starting from scratch), it's the fact that existing entries in Outlook wont's sync. I've found that custom categories, complex repeat reminder and attached pictures do not sync correctly. As with MS Contacts, the photos attached to each contact doesn't sync. Where as with Google Contacts and Calendar do.
Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way a fan of Google, I want to have my phone sync with my PC like I have for the past umpteen years; I don't want my private data uploaded 'somewhere in the cloud' possibly in another country with different privacy laws and complete strangers having access to it. As my MS Calendar has crashed completely now after trying to import from Google Calendar, the reliability is far from what they can expect people to use as a 'standard'.
I'll try creating a gash Google calendar from scratch and see if that can have entries added from my phone.
Thanks again...

It seems that my new google mail account works fine with outlook being sync'd using companionlink 4. The only reason I can think my older gmail account didn't work correctly is that I tried to link it to my ms live account. The ms live account is still dead and I see no way of getting it going, but my phone is now registered under it and apps downloaded against it... hence I'm stuck with it. Major screw-up by Microsoft imho... let's hope they do the right thing with the next update.
Alternatively... HTC provide their own FREE outlook sync'ing software for Android... why not Windows Phone?

[Q] Exchange active sync

Help Please
My contacts don't sync with exchange server 2007 sp1. Mail & Calendar work flawlessly. Don't want to use Touchdown.
I searched all over but didn't find a solution. Thanks

I don't have any issues. You could try deleting the account, clearing the data in the individual apps and then setting it up again.

Thanks. I tried that and it didn't work. Also reset the device and no luck. All my other devices work

they wont sync out all your contacts but when you type in the to field it will search for them.

I have a similar issue. Contacts will sync the first time, but never again after that. One trick I used to make it work was to initially set my sync at five minutes and to let it sit for an hour until it all synced (I have close to 2000 contacts). After it was done syncing I switched to push.
I switched to the kitkat email/exchange for a little while, it worked much better. I was having problems with unread counts so I changed back.

I gave up and use Touchdown for the contacts and the native clients for mail & calendar. The only drawback is I have to enter a nes contact in the Touchdown app and the native app. I hope this will work in kitkat

not sure this works, but are you sure that those contacts are selected to show up under your contacts? I'm sure they are but i thought i would throw it out there since someone said that it will search for them in the address bar but not show them up under contacts. Might jsut be a settings button for that.
On another note, i saw in another email thread that someone set their phone up with the certificates to ssl/tls (accept all certificates) instead of the stock ssl/tls setting. (not sure the ssl/tls is right but its some set of letters lol).

Thanks for your response. I have all my contacts in the primary contacts folder. I even got rid of the subfolders because I know that jb doesn't do subfolders. I couldn't even get an initial sync for contacts. It won't find them in the address bar either

did you try erasing all accounts and then doing the certificates thing i just mentioned above. the guy i saw had your same issues and thats what he did. He didn't know if it had to do with that or not but he said his contacts started populating after that.
