http://www.nuevasync.com I just set this up through the exchange server feature in activesync. It is an over the air sync to google calendar and contacts in gmail. (No pictures with the contacts in gmail ) I had a problem with duplicates at first, but I think that was because I was trying oggsync, goosync, and nuevasync at the same time. It appears to be working fine now. There are other options out there, but this one appears to be the easiest and free-est one out there without limitations. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am.
!Backup your stuff with PIM backup or something similar before you sync just in case!
very nice i will try it now
thanks chiles
with this we can now also change devices, roms, etc withoug worrying about PIM data loss

Can you set categories in Google Calendar and it sync over? That's my biggest annoyance, I 'need' categories in order to have PhoneAlarm do specific actions for me based on the event category, such as "Work meeting" quietens everything, but there are some others that set the power on time different, or make the sounds louder, etc.. That all works with using Outlook to sync, but I haven't seen an online solution that works yet.
I haven't tried. I seem to remember that goosync would dumb down your category to the one default category. It might have been an old version or something. Good luck with it though! I just looked and I didn't see any category option on the google calendar webpage.

Well...My contacts lost their pictures on the gmail contacts page. This doesn't keep all of the information. I also lost my throttle contact category information. It's good for a sim card backup tho
I haven't used it myself yet. However, on quick inspection, the settings page recognizes multiple calendars, so it might sync in separate categories. There doesn't seem to be an option to only sync contacts with phone numbers, so I don't want to use it yet because gmail creates new contacts for those you email.
gave it a try and seems to work well! i only sync my calendar(s) and fits to it almost perfectly. the only problem is.. i'm having multiple calendars at my google calendar, and i cannot decide which calendars to sync. anyways that's better than goosync, only one calendar can be selected to sync.. otherwise have to upgrade to pro.. :E
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I was using scheduleworld with the funambol client, but that stopped being able to connect. I would like to try to us nuevasync, but for as simple as the setup instructions are my activesync says that "Microsoft exchange did not accept my logon credentials". The server source is setup per the instruction on nuevasync site. I am running the stock ATT rom with WM6.0. I haven't knowingly changed any of my network settings and internet and email still work properly, but I can not get either funambol or nuevasync to work. Any thoughs would be appreciated.

Currently, I keep getting force close errors when sending messages and creating or editing contacts, I really want to fix this so I thought I might as well try and root my phone at the same time.
Here are my questions:
1. Should I fix these force close errors before I root my phone. If so, how?
2. Does rooting my G1 mean I'll lose my messages, contacts, etc?
3. Is there anyway I can save my messages, contacts, etc before I root my phone and reinstate them afterwards? (If they are lost in the process).
I hope my questions aren't too stupid!
Thanks!
Giggity giggity...... don't bother fixing the fc's, they would be fixed in the process. You will lose messages, call log, browser bookmarks, internal save apps, almost everything on your phone when you wipe it. Your contacts are synced with gmail and will auto restore, any apps you purchased will be availible for redownload in my downloads in the market, they are also linked to your gmail. Back-up wise, the only programs that I know back-up on root only or you have to pay for use. So you are **** out of luck there
Gridlock pretty much said it all. But I will add one thing tho, there are apps that will allow you to back up your sms first without root. Just go to the market and look up "backup" and you will see a bunch of apps that you might want.
If you are having FC while sending messages my personal opinion would be to not backup and restore anything that has to do with those messages. Just imo.
Make sure you have data sync turned on and you do a manual sync before you root to ensure you have an up-to-date backup of your contacts.
Menu > Settings > Data Sync > Menu button > Sync Now
Thanks for the answers guys. I've come across another damn problem now that I've been trying to back up my contacts. I have a bunch of numbers on my phone that appear to not be in any 'sync group'...I select all contacts in sync group and then make my contacts sync. I check my g-mail account and its just got all my e-mail addresses but not my phone numbers. When I sync My Contacts it sends only a few numbers. I can view "Contacts With Numbers" but I cant seem to sync them.
Also, when I select 'all contacts' to sync I get that damn red exclaimation mark.
In an attempt to sort this, I selected all my e-mail contacts in 'All Contacts' and sent them to a new group called 'E-mail'. Then I selected to delete 'All Contacts' expecting to retain them in my new 'E-mail' group and it deleted ALL my bloody contacts including 'My Contacts'. I've now lost the few numbers under 'My Contacts' (even on my phone somehow...) and all my damn E-mails!
Can someone please tell me how the hell I can sync "Contacts with numbers" onto my g-mail so I can root my ****ing phone!!!
Are the contacts you lost still on your gmail account if so it will prob just resync them and you still have your contacts on your sim card also well just the ones you had before you started using this phone. The most I ever backup is my app data, bookmarks always give me a fc on the browser when I restore. I don't worry bout contacts though since gmail handles that
Well this is my problem. My g-mail had none of my contacts! When I got this phone it was a fresh sim card with nothing on. I put all my numbers in by hand. My numbers were last (fully) synced on 27th Jan 09. Everytime I sync, I get My Contacts only. All the other numbers fail to sync, I'm guessing because they're not in any group. Even if I select all numbers to sync they don't go to my G-Mail. I had about 15 number sync in My Contacts (before I deleted the buggers). Now I'll have to get those back.
I need a way of putting all my numbers that aren't in My Contacts, into My Contacts to Google will sync them! I'm guessing this is because they were put into my phone because the update where Google made all newly entered numbers go into My Contacts...Hmm
Right, I've sorted it.
Downloaded an app from the the market place called ExportContacts. Worked like a treat. It wrote all my contacts to a .csv. Simply imported them on G-Mail. Added them to contacts, deleted all of them on my phone and re-synced. AT LAST I CAN ROOT!

woot glad you got it to work and this is good info for general use as well
I installed this program EboBirthday (that I wont recommend to anybody). With this program you can get birthdayinfomation that you filled in about your contacts, and i.e make calendar entries for each to get reminders etc.
This program was messing up my syncronization with the google server, so needed to delete it - and all program-data. This was very tricky, but after a while with thousands attempts, I finally removed the most part of it - I think. Except the calendar entries.
Whatever did not EboBirthday rendering birthday dates correctly. Year was wrong, so calculation of how old the person was, was wrong. (Think it was an error with rendering the date to a timestamp, so many contacts "was born" in 1970)
So I logged into iGoogle and deleted all calendar entries from there. The calendar is now empty on iGoogle, but calendar entries on the phone will still not go away - unfortunately.
I have tried to opt out of iGoogle calendar on the phone and add it again, and calendar entries disappear when it is left out, but comes back again when I select back google calendar. In iGoogle, I can not see that the entries are back.
What can this be? Some who have suggestions for how I can remove these from my mobile?
My cell phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance.

Problem solved! I had to delete the content i Calendar on the phone. Actually i think the phone automatically should have did this, because its syncs with Google-calendar.
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> Calendar Storage -> Remove data
Then i synced my phone again with Google, and everything was OK - and synced!

I have some questions, I tried doing it again and again but can't do it the right way..
I installed outlook hotmail connector, then logged in my live.com account, then dragged the contact form my outlook to live.com contacts, I logged in to my account via IE and didn't see any contacts, it says 0. After sometime, the "people" tile was full of my contacts, which I believe I dragged from outlook. Upon logging on, contact list of live.com still empty. I also tried adding a new contact on my phone, but that certain contact didn't appear on my outlook.
I am quite confused on how this connector works.
By the way , I am using 2 different live.com accounts. 1 for the signing in of marketplace, and 2nd for people tile.

A bit confusing how you say it but let me explain this way.
I know there is a way to do a direct sync via out look from comp to phone, no clue how I personally dont use that way.
Via Live.com:
Export all of your contact in Outlook a .csv file.
Save it on your desk top.
Log in to Live account on your computer, go to contact, there is an import option. When the browser opens up to find the file, locate it and import them.
THen on your phone, go to settings, then emails & accounts.
Select add new account
Select Windows Live
Log in using the SAME ACCOUNT as what you used to log into live.com on your computer.
It will auto set up and then ask you to set what to sync:
Emails, Contact, calendar, pictures
Select what you need, make sure you select Contacts.
Then sync the account and ur contacts will import from Live.com to your phone.
In your account setting on phone, select how often you want it to sync, remember the more often the more battery it uses.
So if you add a new contact, on next sync that contact will appear on your account when you log into live.com
Most important , use the same account.
I think Outlook Hotmail connector must sync with my live.com account without doing any importation of .csv files, in CSV files, how will picture be synced?
By the way I understand the Hotmail connector works, it must :
1.) automatically sync my contacts under live.com account on outlook without doing any importation process.
2.) since phone's contact list syncs sith live.com so it must update it self when I add new contacts.

I am sure there is a way to use Outlook hotmail sync but I cant get out look to work even with my HD2, always tells me its not there even though it is.
So I moved uploaded my contacts from HD2 ( would not upload to live.com) to google then moved them from google to hotmail then to new phone.
Pictures are part of what you select on hotmail sync but i dont have any here het to sync, so have not transfered pix from HD2 yet cause i cant get Zune to install on my box, not sure why, clean copy of Windows 7, only installed two months ago. gives me some error.
for pictures you take on teh HD7, its auto set to auto upload them to cloud sky drive, you can disable that and do it manually, its default to do it once ever so often or u can do it as soon as you take the pic.
Hope that helps

I had a similar problem. You need to delete the browsing history of Internet Explorer, then close Internet Explorer, then sign-in again to your Windows Live account and then you will see your contacts. I noticed on some occassions that there are sync issues within Internet Explorer and Outlook open at the same time. But closing and deleting the browsing history of Internet Explorer seemed to work for me.
I followed method 2 from this article and worked like a charm....

I've had and still have the same problem. The contacts are there in Live, if I try to edit or delete the whole lot it tells me how many are there, but if I click on contacts, it tells me I have zero contacts and asks if I want to import them from somewhere.
I have contacted microsoft support but have not gotten an answer yet.
And I imported mine from gmail (3 times) because I didn't know they had come across.
I believe that this set-up is the worst piece of garbage microsoft idiots could setup. PLEASE idiots of microsoft go back to activesync ....
To sync your live (imported from outlook) contacts and live calendar with outlook 2010, you just need to create your live account with connector in outlook and then set under settings as default datafile and if you want as your default e-mail.
I have a Pixel 5 that I've been using Outlook on because I hate the gmail client, which has been working fine until now, when I'm trying to add a new Exchange account. I'm having two issues that may be somewhat related or not. As part of moving to the new server, I had to remove my old account. Before doing so, I moved all of my contacts from that account to the device. When I selected them all and then selected 'Move to another account', I was given the choice of moving to the device or to google. As I DO NOT want want my contacts in google, I moved them to my device. I then removed my old account, and proceeded to try to set up Outlook for my new account, which I end up getting 'The connection to your mail server times out. Please check your mail settings.'. The settings are correct, and other mail apps (gmail, nine, etc) work fine. Only Outlook refuses. About the only thing I've been able to find is Microsoft claiming it's because TLS 1.0 and/or 1.1 are enabled or it's a certificate issue. Well, it's not. The certificate is proper and trusted, and only TLS 1.2 is enabled on the server, 1.0 & 1.1 are disabled. Microsoft 'testconnectivity' site confirms that all is proper and functioning, including activesync.
I more or less gave up on Outlook for now, although if someone knows something I haven't found that'll make it work, that would be appreciated, however, at least for now, I decided to give Nine a shot, which may be a viable option. But that's where my other issue comes in. When I moved all of my contacts from my old account to my device, I was given the option of moving to my device or to my gmail account. Now, with my contacts on my device, when I select them all and try to move them, the only option is the gmail account. The 'Contacts' from the Nine app show up in the list of accounts when I go to select what account I want 'Contacts' to look in, and when I move a contact into my Exchange contacts, it shows up on my phone, and if I try to move the contact synced from Exchange via Nine, it give me the device and gmail options, but the phone refuses to give me an option to move my contacts that are on the phone anywhere other than gmail. Does anyone have any ideas why?
Thanks
Just to add - I dug out my old HTC phone and charged it up to do some further testing... using it's 'Exchange Activesync for HTC Sense' (which, in my opinion, is probably the best, most straightforward e-mail client I've ever used on an android phone), it works PERFECTLY. No stupidness, syncs things as expected, contacts and all. I set my account up on an older ipad that doesn't run the latest ios and thus won't run outlook, but with the native app, works perfectly. But my Pixel doesn't seem to know what the heck it wants to do. It seems like everything other than 'Outlook for Android' and my pixel knows what it should be doing and just does it, but my pixel is just out there running circles in the cornfield..... I also saw some bit where I could select WHICH contact lists to sync where there were more than one in the account, but I haven't been able to find that again, and have moved all 'contacts' folders out into a PST so that it's not trying to sync all of the different contacts folders when it does decide to sync something.
