Please Help !!. Desperately need to Sync G1 with PC

Dear All,
I am sorry if i have posted in a wrong forum.
But currently i need to Sync my G1 with PC.
I am currently using Jac Hero ROM.
Need Help
Please suggest

A little more information so we actually know what you're talking about would be nice. What do you mean "Sync"? Are you having problems signing in to google?

I need to Sync my Contacts, Calendar and Notes on outlook to G1.

Then you need the "HTC Sync" program for your PC and phone, but it was removed from the ROM. Send a PM to "Justanothercrowd" and "ccryrowski" asking them how to push back HTC Sync apk's. Or ask in the thread.

I dunno if google has a service to sync that info with your gmail account but if it does you can do so on your pc and any changes you make in gmail will sync with your g1 ota.

I use TooDo and ToodleDo with ToodleDo Outlook Sync for tasks
There are many, many calendar sync options, including one by Google
Google has a contact sysncing app that will sync your contacts with Outlook
It's a Google phone, so most of the solutions sync to your Google account in the cloud both from/to Outlook, and from/too your phone.
My suggestion? Google it. Pick one and try it.

Lookup "touchdown" in the market. It is made to sync your outlook with your phone. If I remember right the HTC app only does email but Touchdown does the whole package.

How to sync with outlook?

As above, how do I use my HTC Dream to sync with my Outlook? Contacts, Calendar entries, Tasks and Notes?

I use "CompanionLink" works perfect.

Personal outlook on your home computer?

Yup, MS outlook on my home laptop.

The only way that I know of is to use a HERO or Rogers rom and the HTC Sync software. Every other solution that I've heard of is a 2 step sync from your outlook to google and then google to your phone.
You'll probably need to install the PCSCII.apk, since most devs remove it from their roms. get that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4740940&postcount=13
and then download the HTC sync software from htc.com.
Also, if you use a rogers rom, you'll only get contacts to sync, using a hero rom will get you both contacts and calendar.

So the HTC sync software will only work with HTC Hero, am I right?

I'm using it on my G1 that's flashed with Mlign's 2.5.7 Hero Rom. I have not been able to make it work with non-hero roms. But, really I haven't tried too hard at that. I don't know what it needs from the Hero rom. I assume it's the HTC framework.

google Calendar sync works great for the calendar

Oh okay, anyone tried CompanionLink? Is it good?

Companionlink is a Sync through Google solution.

I see. Can it sync contacts and notes, calendar from Outlook?

I've never tried it, but it appears it would at least do Contacts and Calendar. But, if you're willing to sync through Google, I'm sure there a cheaper or even free solutions for that.

Yes it does, it allows you do do categories, outlook folders, alarms, date range, etc (companionLink)

If i'm willing to go through google, what is some of the free applications I can use? Simple sync entries i would need is contacts, calendar entries and notes.

Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head. When I was searching for this, I saw the google has an outlook plugin that will Sync the calendar. I also saw a different plugin that would sync Contacts. I'd start with googling outlook plugins.
good luck.

Companionlink now has a Sync over USB direct with outlook. I was excited and thought that I had finally found my answer. then I read:
----------------------------
Data we sync
* Contacts sync to the built-in address book on the phone
* Calendar events sync to a custom calendar app
* Tasks sync to a custom tasks app
* Notes sync to a custom notes app
Our custom Calendar app shows events in Day view only. Month view and other scheduling options are coming. Recurring events and exceptions are supported. Adding and editing recurring events must be done on the PC.
Our custom Tasks and Notes apps support categories, sort, and search functionality.
----------------------------
Sigh, it doesn't use the built in calendar database, so it won't work with any calendar widget. So close, but still no cigar. Oh well, maybe they'll wise up and just be a sync provider.

1. CompanionLink (http://www.companionlink.com/androidusb/index.html)
2. Mark/Space (http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html)
3. Various Google Cloud <-> Outlook solutions (Paid or free, Google them)
4. HTC Sync from some HTC-specific ROMS (e.g. Hero)
Take note that since Android has no built-in notes and tasks applications, nor a standardized database structure for them, those supporting and plan-to-support notes/tasks are/will be syncing to some custom notes/tasks apps.
The Companion's solution even syncs to a custom Calendar app.

Yeah, that was the disappointing part. I don't think a custom calendar app is a good idea.

Not sure if you're willing to pay anything, but roadsync syncs calendar, contacts and e-mail. Even has a calendar widget. I think it's like $25 now (I got in early and only had to pay $10). works well for me though.

how about syncing notes from outlook? is there one that can do that?

Sync Outlook Calendar to Froyo

Hi all,
Since Froyo now supports Exchange, is it now possible to sync Outlook calendar to Froyo? I'm talking about local computer Outlook calendar, not a corporate Exchange server.
I'm trying to sync my N1 to my outlook, just like how I use ActiveSync to sync my WM device to Outlook.
Do I still need a 3rd party apps for this?
Thanks in advance

Calendar Sync
I have always just used the Google Calendar Sync available directly from Google. It works very well and syncs everything to Google calendar and in turn pushes it to your N1. I was even able to install it on my corporate computer, which is rare.

darn..I was hoping it can be done natively.
As my corp policy doesn't allow some 3rd party apps (especially ones sending calendar info to a cloud).

If you are using an Exchange server, then Froyo does sync both calendar, contacts, and email. However, there is a bug with all day events created via outlook - they appear off by one day on the phone.

actually.....beside calender...... how does froyo sync with tasks?
one of the major reason that I keep my X1 is because android can't sync with tasks in outlook.....
without full outlook support....it reallys hold me jumping from WM to android...

[Q] PC/Outlook Sync App?

I was looking for a good App which would sync with Outlook (Contacts and Calendar, at least). I found two good candidates in the market, Android Sync Manager and MyPhoneExplorer. The former looks to also sync other items, which would also be nice to have.
Anybody have any experience with either of these, or any other apps which will sync to PC, that work on the gTab (running Vegan 1.5.1)?

Since you have to have a google account to use the market, why not use your google calendar and google calendar sync?
Install the software on your desktop to sync your outlook calendar to google calendar and then use whatever app you want on your gtablet to view and edit the google calendar. Changes are synced back to your outlook via the google calendar sync application.

Well, I suppose you have a point, that should work for the basics.
But it seems Android Sync Manager can sync other things, like files, etc.

The problem with that for some of us is that Google has not bothered to update their sync tool to work with 64-bit Outlook 2010.
Real shame too because the 3rd party apps for it suck unless you want to spend too much money for what you get.

Well why you can't use email client which is part of the os to sync with outlook email and calendar client? It works really well with my corporate 2003 client.

The built in email app on Android won't sync with Outlook, however, you can duplicate the connection that Outlook is making. That being said, many companies won't let you connect to their email system for various reasons, which forces you to manually sync to your desktop version of Outlook. Which, of course, defeats the purpose for which they originally forbade you.

Well, I have POP mail for my personal email, so while the built in will get the email fine, it will not get my contacts nor my calendar, which are all stored locally on my PC in Outlook.

So I looked into the Google apps. Unless I'm missing something, it appears you can sync email and calendar, but that their sync contacts is just for business users. Is that right?

sync with outlook contacts calendars

hi there,
was wondering if there is a method to sync the contacts (and calendars) from my outlook directly? ie without going through google(sony companion)?
do i have to use myphoneexploreer? wonder if compatible?

This is also a question I've wanted answering aswell, because I'm coming over from an iPhone.

MyPhoneExplorer is really good and it's free - you cannot sync directly with Outlook.

All I did was set up my outlook email address as an account and then just select to sync calendar/contacts?

Sony PC companion syncs outlook contacts/calendars via GOOGLE account
So on the circumstances (such as for WORK), where you only just want to sync directly between PC and device, seems only something like MYPHONEEXPLORER can do.
But the thing is that i find it (MPE) quite buggy with windows 8 and newer handsets.
Any other suggestions?

Just setup exchange account(outlook) and enable sync calendar and contact.
