hi guys/girls
just flashed my hd2 from wm6.5 to android (what a great step)
the problem is ... is there a free app to transfer my contacts from outlook to android
ty.
use the email app and sync with outlook or search the market.
I did use HTC's sync which you can get from the HTC website. worked perfectly.
But I have now changed roms and it doesnt work on hyperdroid, so im using google for my contacts and used this method to get me calander from outlook to google
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
just thought id post i found this proggy was the easyest way to xfer my contacts
h**p://w*w.companionlink.com/android/
easy as easyness
ty for the other replys
I use Outlook and I also move from WinMo6.5 to Android. I used to sync my HTC to Outlook too.
But usually I also sync my Outlook to a online service (Hotmail, Google). Which service do you use Outlook with? Because Android can sync directly to most of the services and you won't need Outlook "in the middle".
Cheers.
Export contacts from outlook to Google via .csv. works like a charm.
Sent from my HTC Supersonic. Made by HTC tuned by cyanogen.

Downloaded it and tried it and did not like it at all so I removed it after just one go.
Perhaps I did something wrong but it made me run the program to get access to my contacts.
Did the google way instead and that worked well although now google knows even more about me.

I use Android-sync.
Small free program which syncs with Outlook!

Is there any way to get push sync for contacts and calendar without an exchange server?
The windows live push email works great but it would be awesome if it also worked with contacts and calendar.
Hmm not really, I mean theres:
Yahoo Go! 2.0 (Sync Address book, it can auto detect changes in your entire contacts list and sync them, very useful)
Seven: Syncs contacts of who ever, this may do what you expect. Haven't tested it.
Goosync: Syncs Phone's calendar & Gmail calendar
The only thing I know of that will do it besides ExServer...

Some IMAP account support IMAP-IDLE.
That's some kind of push mail. After connecting and authenticating, you'll stay connected to your IMAP server. (Using a very small amount of data)
When there's new mail, it will be downloaded to your device.
Of course, that's not a solution for your contacts.
google SyncML
zimbra
You can use Zimbra (reputedly-'open-source' software, bought not long ago by Yahoo!) .
It holds documents, files, notes, spreadsheets, mail, calenders, rss feeds, contacts, tasks.... and more; as well as syncing with mobile device, outlook, thunderbird (using an extension), mobile devices, macs, etc...
You can sync with a mobile device using IMAP or using 'push' via activesync.
Syncing with a mobile device currently only works with mail, contacts, and the main calender.
Funambol is one that use (also open source), it can be a bit of a heavyweight setup though, just depends on what of thing your looking for really, Funambol can be used on all types of devices and be setup for a "Multiple devices to One useer" sort of thing, so you can keep your Mobile Phone, WM device, Outlook etc etc al containing the same info.

try visto push email.
go to preview.wirelessinbox.com
sign up an account
download a desktop assistant
now you can sync contacts, calendars, task and email over-the-air to your phone.
easy as abc .... by the way, the most impt thing is that it is FREE push email plus PIM management...
push using emoze
Emoze is a free program that will push both contacts and calendar. The only negative is that you must leave your home computer on as that is what pushes if you do not use exchange server.
There are many ways as you see. Some are server based, which is the way t go in my opinion, or you can you desktop forwarding thru many diifert companies. Intellisync makes a decent product & there is also Blackberry. I believe Meinyysis has written some great reviews & blogs about this very issue.

Its the best thing i came accross when i was looking for the answer to the same question, "Sync without exchange", its awesome IMHO as my friends and family use the server as well. Need to nuke your WM device whilst out and about but dont have your PIM backed up? Not a problem with Funambol, just tell the device to recover the data from the server, and there you go, Calendar, Contacts, notes.... etc etc....
That thing is a valuable peice of software that i wouldnt do without, only downside is that you have to have a PC running 24/7 to make the most out of it.

How do I obtain a free account? When I put in my phone number (AT&T), I get the following error:
This Mobile Number has not been approved to use Visto Mobile.
Any suggestions?
Guys,
My org uses goodlink (good.com) as the email service provider not microsoft's push mail. I recently upgraded to a tilt and changed the rom promptly to schapps latest release.
The way the good software works is that it adds its own software stack (email/contacts/calendar etc) which syncs to the my outlook. The problem this creates is that my contacts do show up (the right softkey button leads to contacts which are the goodlink contact list) but are not connected to my dialer.
To be able to use smart dialling i then have to manually sync my phone to my computer to copy the contacts again which is a pain. My previous phone was based on windows 2003 whose dialler showed the goodlink contacts directly.
If there are any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

This is not what is supposed to happen. I use GL too. If you sync with Active synch eventually, you will end up with duplicate contacts. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for this to occur. This applies to GL 5. In 4.9, I had to do exactly as you are stating...synch only the contacts with active synch.
interestingly, I have a post regarding Good Mail. I found that using the XDA Live 3.0 (WM6.1) with the reTOUCHED dialpad, my contacts, while in the phone mode, linked to my Lotus notes contacts, not my local ones.
If I'm understanding you correctly, this is exactly what you want to happen (exactly the opposite of what I want to happen on mine).
I have 5.0.3.23 good mail with the above and it works the way you want yours...
Good luck,
MBN

With 5.0 the contacts are shared. If you sync with active sync, they will be duplicated because you are already syncing the mail server. GL 5 takes over much more of the system than past versions. I have found no way to change its behavior at all. If I make changes, it has protections in it that undoes the changes.
thanks for the help guys. I got on IT's case and changed my GL version to 5.0 and a hard reset and the installation of the retouched dialler everything is now working exactly the way i want it. Thanks guys!

Have you tried using Microsoft Voice command with Goodlink contacts? in my search for a solution i found a thread on another forum which said that voice commands/dialling wont work with goodlink contacts and we will have to sync them again. Im going to be trying it anyway but just wondering if somebody has already done the effort.
I can also vouch for that. I am the good admin at my org and the latest 5.0.4.46 works quite nice with outlook contacts and allows for smart dialing.

I use voice speed dial and it works with GL 5 owning the contacts without doing a sync via active sync. Haven't used MS VCMD so ymmv.

I just wish I could talk my IT guys into a longer wait period before locking the phone...30 minutes kind of sucks when using the GPS...in a car. Any ideas for hacks? I haven't found any.
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

Moving from a WinMo phone to the Captivate. I want to keep using Outlook for my e-mail, contacts and calendar. I know how to export the info to Google and have it sync to my phone, and I even found the Google program that automatically syncs the calendar on a schedule, but I want a solution that bypasses the Google cloud entirely and lets me sync directly from PC to device. Missing Sync looks like the right program for this, but unlike CompanionLink, they don't offer a free trial. Anyone here used it? What do you think of it? Before I spend $39 I'd like to get some input. Thanks.
They are bith buggy as hell. I was also looking for a non-google sync and th eonly thing I found that works reliably (once you get the first sync) was Kies.
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
