Hi there!
I just got my Dev Phone 1. Charging it now.. Now, I have a gmail account I use quite a bit, but all my email accounts (including my gmail) forward to another email account. I read somewhere that you wont get notifications and such when new email arrives on your non-gmail account as you do with your gmail account. Any way to fix this in order to use the G1 best as possible with a non-gmail email?
Secondly, how do I recieve updates to Android? Is there an update feature, or are there no updates as of yet? (And have to wait for Cupcake)
Thank you!
Not sure about other than Gmail accounts but you should get prompted about a over the air upadate.
Ota updates are kind of unreliable, i didnt get rc30 update till it had been out for 2 weeks, others get them right away. Check the developement section plenty of updates floating around in there.
Has anyone spent any time comparing these two apps?
I really like Moxier. Even though it doesn't give you direct view access to your contacts or calendar, it does sync them and allow you to access your contacts from within an email and it gives you calendar alerts in your notification bar.
Touchdown has great support. It allows direct view of contacts and calendar.
Both support activesync push.
Right now, I'm trying to determine which one I'll be paying for.
The battery life seems to be a little bit better with Touchdown, but I can't say for certain.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Been usin' TD for about 5 months now, since the early betas, and it never ceases to impress me.
Yeah, I've been using TD off and on for the last few weeks.
I decided to test Moxier the other day when they sent me an email about the limited release.
I like Moxier in a lot of ways but I'm convinced it's not as refined as TD and it tears my battery down where TD doesn't appear to affect it at all.
I think I will be sticking with TD.
I do wish that handled folders as well as Moxier but all in all, I think TD is a better product.
Thanks for the input.
Just got notified of TD 3.0 today. Seems cool so far. Not sure what's change exactly. Something about accelerated push.
Touchdown is way better than moxier. Te mere fact that you can select multiple emails for deletion is worth it.
I love the synching of everyhtign else as well.
Calender, contacs.
Yes, touchdown kicks ass on Moxier.
Moxier has the ability to do what you are asking. Multiple selects to move, archive, delete etc.
I am using Moxier Pre Release because TD won't handle my mailbox (not sure why).
It does do a number on the battery and I would not purchase it until that gets fixed. It also seems to be turning push on all the time. Service keeps reloading itself and that may be linked to the battery issue. Moxier team has some work to do, definitely. But don't count them out just yet, there's some things that they are definite doing right.
Now we have another option ROADSYNC from DATAVIZ. They released a beta version for now.

I tried it. It won't let me trust my self-signed cert so I can't use it yet.
I think TD is still the best bet. I just wish it would let me download the current content of select folders instead of only what is new. That's the one thing Moxier does that nothing else so far can do.
Have you guys tried Haykuro's H build, it has an Inbuid exchange client developed by HTS itself. it is by far the best one. almost as feature rich as any WinMo phone. You can even send and accept calender invitations. plus the contacts sync with phone contacts and it will show both GMail contacts and Exchange contacts. it is fast, feature rich, very low battery consumption. I am sure when the release build comes out All Moxier's and touchdown's will be out of business. cauz HTC one is free & some one will port it from Sapphire's build to released G1 cupcake build.

i prefer to have a fullty functional, stable working phone with myfaves.
I mostly agree with Henchman.
I don't mind being on the bleeding edge to some extent, but with certain apps still not working with the Haykuro builds and htc exchange apparently fubar'ing calander entries, I'm inclined to wait just a little bit longer.
I am tempted every day though. I may bite the bullet and do it anyway, I just haven't reached that point yet.
Backup your phone to NAND and test it out. Worst case, you re-flash with your previous build. I'm going to try it this weekend.
I'm horny for native exchange support, I really am.
Native exchange plus native USB or WiFi tethering makes me want to jizz my shorts. Not sure when or if the latter will arrive, but I will keep hope alive.

Well, I went ahead and flashed theDude's version even without exchange support. I just hope that it gets added soon. Right now, this is just a solid build and I'll live without exchange for a while longer if I have to.
i find myself unwilling to pay for an app that will become part of the OS soon, especially at the cost for touchdown and moxier.

Don't hold your breath.
I flashed the Haykuro update, and yes, it does exchange.
But the email client is still as lame as ever.
No multiple email selects to delete multiple emails.
Is there a way to extract that exchange program from Haykuros version so that we can use it on other 1.5 versions?
Been using MailShadow since the beginning.
Prefer it over TouchDown as it syncs all your exchange data with Gmail (contacts/calendar/email) so you get to use the built in Google apps. It's also better since it makes your ENTIRE exchange mailbox available via the gmail app.... all your folders (labels), etc. I do have TouchDown as a backup though just in case.
Only downside is that it needs to run on a desktop computer at all times to sync- doesn't matter to me though as my computer is always on.
Haykuro new ADP1.5Hr4
Upcoming features in ADP1.5Hr4:
+ Newer SuperUser app
+ HTC E-Mail client. (Exchange support should work.. more info on this feature as i progress)
+ Based on newer firmware.
Had both.
Moxier has too many bugs. Contacts with "work"-numbers not getting synced. Force closes if you click on the header of a mail.
No notification if a new mail is in a folder (have set up some rules on the server to see important mails directly).
Notification itself is crap. If you open Moxier directly, not through the statusbar, the icon will never disappear.
TD is working way better..
Support of Moxier is worst. Takes weeks to get any information..
TouchDown gave me a free license since I am a T-Mo employee so I use TouchDown....and I really like it.
Hi all,
I've been syncing my Kaiser with Google Calendar using Oggsync during the last two years, without any problem. I noticed on their website (here) that the next stable version (Oggsync 4) will be able to synchronize contacts. Unfortunately, their is no activity on their website since last november. Even the RSS feed seems to be dead.
Do you know what's happening ?
Aurélien.
Hi Aurélien,
I don't know if it's still in active development, but I call tell you I've been using Google Sync (from Google) recently and it works very well. It also syncs contacts.
http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
This seems to do the same thing as OggSync, so maybe the OggSync developers have given up on it?
Well, the good point with OggSync is that it can handle several calendars. AFAIK, Google Sync cannot. But maybe I'm wrong ?

i'd like to know too.
You're right. Google Sync, currently, does not support multiple calendars. I also use Oggsync and sync my contacts. You need the Pro version, though, which you have to pay for.
OK, I recieved a mail from [email protected]. It's still under development, see below.
We don't feel comfortable calling it stable until Google has firmed up their contact API a bit. It's still changing monthly. We are planning to roll in support for the just latest changes into the next major release (birthdays/etc.)

thanks for the info aurelieng. i just wish they could update their website a little bit. instead, it just looks abandoned.
I just noticed that OggSync 4.21 for windows mobile is available. The pro version now allows syncing contacts (not tried yet, but certainly useful).
Sorry but I cannot find any other suitable title for my problem. At the beginning when I first flashed to NextDesire Rom (which is lovely by the way) and logged onto facebook my HTC Calendar Synced with facebook calendar about my friends birthdays. Although I never examined the whole calendar about dates but most of the birthdates were present. But when I restarted my device yesterday, all the facebook events dissapeared. I checked the calendar settings and Facebook calendar was not there either. I thought that I should resync my device so that I pushed SYNCALL button; funny thing that I realized Facebook Calendar sync PARTLY and randomly. sometimes a few birthday entires appear in calendar sometimes don't. If you can help me about this problem i will be really grateful. On the other hand N1 is the best phone I have ever used.
That theme is based on alpha build 11. MoDaCo has released alpha 21, it could have been fixed in a newer version if it was a bug.
Some people say a21 is slower than a19, so make a backup and try both and see if syncs fully.
Chances are even reflashing the rom after a fresh wipe will fix it.
Thank you evilkorn i will give it a try
Hi,
I've read several news about google droping support for Active Sync.
Apparently it the deadline was yesterday 31st of July.
I've activated a WP8 device today, and I can't sync Gmail accounts.
I'm extremely frustrated with Microsoft and Google. We users are suffering for their wars...
Anyway, anyone has a workaround?
Waiting until the GDR2 update is not an option, as we got branded devices and may take months until it arrives...
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reading
Good tip! Yeah, the Google ActiveSync server can be configured as any other ActiveSync service (which is how the phone communicates with Exchange) would be; it just requires you to configure it manually a bit.
Also, you can use IMAP to access you Gmail instead, if you want to (or if they shut off the service).
Finally, there's always the option of telling Google to get stuffed, setting up a new email account that you can sync on the phone, and setting rules in Gmail to
A) automatically forward all your mail at the gmail account to your new account
B) automatically send a reply to all mail you receive on your gmail account telling people to use the new address.
Hi,
I managed to make it work.
What I did was the following:
. enable IMAP on the Google account.
. disable threading view on the mobile.
They started working now.
