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!

I have several phones on Verizon. They have a great service on their data plans called WirelessSync, which places keeps a copy of all calendar, contacts, tasks, and notes online in sync. It uses a version of Intellisync, that they have rebranded as WirelessSync. I don't use one of those phone numbers for database syncing, so I thought I would use my Kaiser/Tilt.
I got the Intellisync cab and installed it fine on the Kaiser. And it does the initial sync perfectly. And all contacts, tasks, notes continue to sync fine.
Problem is calendar. It will only sync one-way, after the initial sync, going from the server to the device. It does not read changes on the Kaiser and transfer them to the server.
There are no settings, etc. to change. Can someone suggest a registry setting to "fix" this?
I know this is an arcane request but would appreciate any wisdom. Thanks.
OK, this just started for me. Yesterday, after entering a couple of appointments into my Tilt, I was able to sync to a MS Exchange Server wirelessly everything EXCEPT those 2 appointments. Mail/contacts work fine. Just not new appointments. However, I can enter them directly into Outlook 2003 and they sync back to the Tilt. No new appointment, re-occurring or not, with or without notes/reminders/attachments syncs. they are reflected on the Tilt, just won't sync. When connected via USB, I get the no help "Support Code 1" error.
My ROM/Radio/Hard SPL info is in my signature. Win XP (I don't know what service pack the server is, but no changes that have occured that coincide), Active Sync is 4.5.0. Death V.4 does have Thumbcal installed by default which, in an effort to resolve, switched to the standard calendar program. I also (in no particular order):
1. ran scanpst.exe on PC
2. ran detect and repair in Outlook
3. did Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\ole32.dll
4. deleted and reconfigured relationship in Activesync
5. changed the durations of the past appointments AND
6. searched to no end XDA and the net for a solution.
Any assistance would be appreciated. TIA!!
-Sign into OWA check if all is ok.
-On your desktop, do the same in outlook
-Create a test appointment with notes on OWA and see if it sync with your desktop calendar.
*If it sync you're good and you may have to contact your exchange host to see if there's been any changes in your exchange setup settings for your device.
*If the sync fails, create a new outlook profile on your desktop. It's a possibilty you profile is corrupt. Any part of outlook can be corrupt and not effect outlook as a whole. In your case, your calendar isn't functioning properly.
-Also...if you had your exchange account for a while, check the personal folder file size. It can hold up to 1.96 gb but at around 1.75, 1.8 gb ... outlook may do some weird things. If this is the case, you need to start archiving.
Hope this helps.
My background on topic:
I used to do tech support for Honeywell where 80% were exchange email related. Most of the users used Blackberrys and a handfull of windows mobile users. I provided telephone & remote support with Landesk & Remote Desktop.
Thanks! I will check in the morning. After posting this I noticed that one of my PST was well into 2 gigs. I am in the process of moving stuff around and hopefully can get it to be a more reasonable size. Lots of rules to adjust. . . .

OK, no luck. Entered an appointment with note in OWA, which synced fine with desktop. Adjusted pst size down to 1 gig, deleted and created a new profile in Outlook. Hard reset Tilt, contacted IT at work and no changes to Exchange Server. IT said contact ATT to see if it is something on their end, but I don't see how that could be.
This is a disaster for me.
I really need to have this working.
edit: One more interesting facet: if I just sync the calendars via USB (i.e. deselect MS Exchange and select "this PC"), syncing occurs. This is entirely related to the wireless component of syncing the calendar. Weird . . .
edit 2: well, flahed Duttys Hybrid, and all was good. Reflashed Death V4 and problem returned. Switched over to L26 KaiserDiamond V9 and problem resolved. NO FRIGGIN IDEA WHY. Thanks DWNY for the help, though. I suspect that my Exchange Server has something against Shogunmark.

Glad I could help ... somewhat.
What ever you do, do not upgrade to IE8 especially if you update your calendar with OWA. The new appointment will show up in your calendar but if you've created notes .... the won't sync to your phone.
Other browsers will show OWA in basic mode with only text entries, no HTML support.
Just a tid bit to share .....
ROMeOS 3.1 has worked great for me.
I'm a heavy Outlook user myself. These days I run my own IT Sub-Contracting company and do all my scheduling via OWA.

Anybody? would love some help!
Not sure if anyone is still having this issue, but the fix for Calendar items created on device not syncing up to Exchange (but sync no problem from Exchange to device), do the following:
1. Go to Start/Settings/Clock & Alarm
2. Change your Time Zone to another zone, and OK.
3. Go into ActiveSync on device, and sync with exchange
4. Go back to Clock & Alarm and change your time zone back to appropriate time zone
5. sync with ActiveSync again.
Problem should be resolved. Has worked for me many of times.
Thanks!
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.

I have input all settings but it doesn't want to sync
I had this same issue since it was a suggestion for AthineOS's newest M2D release which is like a cross hybrid email system between 6.1 and 6.5.
Partially Working
According to the Google help forums, email syncing is not active yet. After reviewing the site below, there is no mention of emails syncing
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
I was able to get contacts and calendar syncing.
If anyone is experiencing error 0x80004005, trying removing calendar sync. After successful sync, add calendar back. If error continues, try adding an entry to your calendar.
was anyone able to sync multiple calendars with WINDOWs mobile??
i tried m.google.com/sync but it says my phone is not compatible.
Even after changing the language, it didnt work, i m just able to downloadthe page but no calendar options in there.
when I go to m.google.com/sync
it tells me - device is not supported
well, google agenda and contacts sync works fine for me.. did not do anything special.. just the abc from google..
working whit the rom from -G-(garmin) version 10... just the plain full version.. no M2D or something els..
Thanks for the Tip!!

oO much better, because it sync's your outlook without your phone with google.

I had this error and the suggested solution didn't work.
However, the opposite (removing contact sync, sync, add contact back, sync) DID work.
It does seem a bit of a strange procedure, does anyone know what is causing this?

I know this is a rather old message but I would like to share my knowledge as I searched for this 0x80004005 error for a while.
The trick is to disable the tasks in the syncing and then it works like a charme.
SGS v2.2 vanilla
Until this week had been able to get Calendar sync with my corporate exchange account. Had to factory reset phone as it would not boot up.
Reinstall of email accounts went OK ... and as usual selected to sync calendar & contacts.
Yet Calendar does not sync ... email & contacts do.
Calendar remains blank - (so it is not the problem with prior to 2010 dates)...... if I manually create an entry then it shows in Calendar as the 'next appointment'
If I double tap calendar (or go via settings/accounts & sync it shows that :
sync background data - ticked
auto-sync - ticked
corporate account 'sync is ON' and shows green circle.
If I do a force 'sync now' it spins for a second or so, but does not bring in any dates corporate calendar.
It's not account access settings as email & contacts coming across OK
Have carried out a h/w reset again without SD card ... same result, (to rule out card format issues.)
This is BT (Vodafone SIM) and also connected by WiFi.
email & contacts sync no problem.
Any ideas ?
update ... after 3 days had some calendar entries populate ... but stilll nowhere near in synch.
Anbody offer any help on this ?

After hardware reset had no improvement ... I updated to FROYO then to Gingerbread .. uisng KIES 2
Now all OK.
I don't think it was a fix in the s/w but I think the new software flushed out something in the build that a reset could not clear.
I have the same problem with calendar. My biggest reason to get this phone is because I needed a good calendar that can sync with Office Outlook and I just can't get it done anymore. Nothing is being synced and I really need all my appointments with me at all times (I'm in the medical field and need to be able to give patients appointments anywhere I am and don't want to tell them I will call them back when I'm in the office)
Any solutions or is upgrading to Gingerbread and Kies 2 the only solution like Sargan did?
You guys may want to use an app from CodeTwo. It's been recommended to me by my friend who is Exchange admin in a big company, where employees wanted to be synced to their office calendars, mails etc. and access them on their mobiles. The program syncs exchange public folders with your private mail clients on androids, iphones, blueberries etc.
oh, sorry, forgot to say, it's called CodeTwo Exchange Sync and is free in a trail version. You can download it from CodeTwo's official website.
Or the Enhanced Email for that matter - works great and sorted out all Calendar issues I had.
