Hi all, trying to get exchange active sync to sync tasks from Outlook (exchange server) to my phone without having to purchase a 3rd party app from the play store.
It seems that the stock android email clients that come with CM9/CM10 do not do this. After trawling through XDA and multiple google searches I have seen evidence to say that the Samsung email clients that come with the i9100 does this, so wondering if it's the same for the i9000.
Please, can someone that has a 2.3.x Samsung ROM (stock or customised) with exchange active sync see if the tasks sync or not.
Appreciate the help.

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...
After searching through the web for a while, I haven't found anything that works, so I turn to the last resort; XDA-Developers
Here's the story:
I work in a company that works with outlook 2002 (XP), Windows XP, Exchange and needlessly high levels of security. For example;
- Exchange is not accessible through web, unless you use GoodLink
- GoodLink accounts are given only to company phones
- Company phones are all WinMo.. and all suck
- The only way to sync without company phone is USB ActiveSync for WinMo
Now my issue: I have a Samsung Galaxy S and "I'm lovin' it". I don't want the company phone, neither do I want a WinMo phone.
Ergo: I want to sync my SGS Android phone using USB ActiveSync
Is there a possibility to create an app to spoof my pc into thinking it's a WinMo and to sync my appointments?
If your company uses Exchange (and by the sounds of it, I'm sure that they do) and offer exchange access via webmail, you can use this Samsung app to access your email.
This was a specific Samsung app that I have only seen on the Bell firmware for the I9000M. It adds "Samsung Email" and "Samsung IM." It does also sync contacts and calendars for Exchange.
Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately there is no webmail (access only through encrypted token).

You can use Companionlink (paid app and PC software) to sync via USB to your own Outlook on your PC.

Kinghorsey,
you deserve a kiss.
you are really a king.
that application solved my problem syncing with exchange email. it's awsome.
i got the sync to contacts also but still didn't sync my contacts. therefore, you mentioned calendar sync, but i didn't get this option when setting up my exchange account.
how can i get updates for these applications? anywhere to download them from Samsung, etc...
Sync Outlook + Gmail + Android
My answer is a little left field, I sync my work calendar with my phone.
I sync Outlook calendar with google calendar, once the office PC is synced with google I sync google with my phone calendar.
Office <-> Google <-> Phone
I use a mixture of google sync (Office 2007) for the office and Companionlink (Office 2010) for my home PC. I set up a one directional sync so that only the office data is synced to google so if there are any conflicts the office calendar wins, then set my Samsung Galaxy S to sync with google calendar.
i found my galaxy note has the exchange email issue. it doesnt sync the email automatically. it seems that function is sleeping that if i go the app of email it will refresh to get new email in my account, after that sync function works well for a period(push automatically). However, maybe after 4-5 hours or longer. automatic push function will stop (sleep again)!!!! is that the bug of email app? have other people meet the same question with me? anybody have any solution of that issue?
that account works fine in galaxy tab 7, no delay, receive email on time.
thx
check if you have any task manager killing the process?
I have same problem too.....must manual click/select the mail client app again, and pretty sure not kill any background process....
Me too, still.
Troubleshooting on Office website
Do an exact Google search for "Fail to sync with Exchange ActiveSync on an Android" (I'd post the direct link but the forum won't let me) - top result should be on the office365 site, which details lots of similar issues, and lots of suggestions. Unfortunately none of them worked for me
Is anyone else here on 2.3.6 with their Note (Rooted and CWM Kernel also) having problems with Exchange email?
I use a hosted exchange provider for my email, and have seen this issue before with Samsung (and some HTC) devices where Exchange Activesync just doesn't seem to work. I had this issue before with an AT&T Galaxy Tab I had tried a different ROM on to enable the phone radio in the Tab. It would never sync email, but the stock ROM would.
I know the account was added to the Note correctly, because I didn't get any error messages during setup, and I also got the prompt to confirm the security configuration change (to allow remote wipe, etc). The device also shows up correctly in the mobile device listing in Outlook Web Access in my account.
Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, and what you did to fix it? Not really interested in a 3rd-party mail client like Touchdown, etc. Would prefer to use native apps.
Thanks, please advise.

If you want it for gmail, try this.
Go to Email - entre gmail credential - select manual setup - select exchange active sync - keep user ID n PW as it is n add m.google.com in server field, finish setup with rest of as per your desire
Thanks, but I am not interested in Gmail. I have already added a secondary gmail account and it works just fine.
I am trying to get a true Exchange (Corporate, of sorts) email account working. It kinda acts like it wants to work (I am seeing some Exchange calendar entries) but no emails or contacts yet... <sigh>

Mine is working fine. It sync my email with the exchange server. Im using Rocket ROM.
Using exchange exclusively also (hosted server) never had a problem. I tried with stock, then 2 different cooked roms. All worked perfectly. Am on latest rocky now.

Exchange email pushed OK, but calendar push never
Outlook email is pushed correct, but calendar never. Which application do you use for view/sync exchange calendar ?
I just upgraded from the original Samsung Focus (WP7.5) to the Samsung ATIV S (WP8), and I'm no longer getting reminders on my phone for my Outlook tasks.
I have Outlook on my computer at home, which is set up with my Hotmail account. I know that the actual tasks won't get synced with my phone, however, the reminders for Outlook tasks did used to get sent to my Focus. They're not getting sent to my ATIV S.
Does anybody have a similar situation with a WP8 phone that is still getting task reminders? Is it maybe a limitation of WP8, or of the ATIV S, or maybe something changed with my Hotmail account?
Did you check if you can see them in the calendar ?
