[Q] Google contacts & calendar through exchange? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I already use the standard email client for my Gmail since I have two other email accounts, and I like being able to have them all in one unified inbox.
My question is, if I sync my Gmail calendar and contacts through the standard Email client using exchange (push), and disable the integrated Google contacts/calendar sync (presumably through the GMail app?), will that be any more or less battery/bandwidth efficient? And could I then use SGS Tools to uninstall the Gmail app, or are there other services that still depend on it?
Thanks!

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.

what about setting up an exchange account and only using it to sync your work calendar?
or set up your primary account calendar to have access to your work calendar.
the nice thing with android 2.2 is that it will fully sync multiple gmail accts, including calendars
did you ever get this resolved?

[Q] How to Sync Phone Contacts

I've heard that if you had rooted/lagfixed your SGS, you cannot sync your phone contacts, is this true? Haven't installed Kies yet.
If this is true, can you please give me an alternative to sync my phone contacts with? I have Gmail and Yahoo Mail installed in my SGS, and YahooMail is syncd with my YahooMail contacts on phone, but not with contacts that is originally on the phone. I join contacts for them not to be redundant, and it's pretty annoying.
Is it okay to sync my Gmail contacts with YMail contacts then sync the GMail contacts with Phone Contacts????
not true
you can sync over the air contacts via Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail
and Outlook if you use KIES, or the WiFi Android Manager

[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?
