hi guys one question, for my notes I use Tasks Free, which correctly syncs with my gtasks so I always have them all available phone/PC
in stock based roms I see notes app and I like it, but I can't sync the notes between devices. I see in sync settings there is also the possibility to use dropbox, but when I click it it says something about being using multiple dropbox accounts or so.. (I have already set up my DB account in general account settings).
anyone of you could sync the notes with his dropbox account? am I the only one with this problem?
thanks a lot!

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?
Is there something to android like microsoft have (MyPhone) that syncs everything over the air?
On their website it says:
With My Phone you can:
* Back up your phone automatically
* Share photos on your favorite social networking sites
* Access your contacts, text messages and more online for free
* Locate your lost phone

Short answer is YES, long answer is MAYBE. There is an app for each and every feature that MyPhone has. I'm not sure about the SMS though.
Android = Google.
Have a Google Account, then your email, contacts and calendar are all synced to the cloud. Regarding notes, you got Evernote which is more than capable.
I hope I answered your question.
Most of this stuff is built into every android phone
- Email sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Contact sync is automatic and goes to GMail
- Calender sync is automatic and goes to Google Calender
- Photo and video sync is automatic with Picassa if you enable it
- You can also auto upload to YouTube using your google account
Locate a lost phone is built in by Sansung, go to Settings -> Location & Security -> Mobile Tracker.

Or, there are a ton of other market apps that do this same thing.
OK. i sync gmail and google calender but not contacts. shall i do something to sync contacts?
When u sync with picasa, do u sync contact pictures so they find its way back to the right contact after a hard reset? or do i have to pick one and one pic to one and one contakt?
How mutch space do u have on your picasa account?
"sms backup+" let's you backup sms to gmail for free. "backup to gmail" let's you backup sms, mms and call logs but costs $2. And to sync contacts to gmail you need to select gmail when you add someone to contacts. Simple

Guys contacts from facebook accounts won't sync but calendar syncs flawlessly. Other account would sync too. Can't contact facebook since there's no way to get to them. Did anyone ever come across this issue. Is there any possible solution to it?
I'm having the the same problem. Anyone? I'm on JVK Darky's RC4 if that helps.
I had this problem, but a while ago, while I was on stock rom. I had to delete de FB account from Acc/Sync, re-install FB for Android and let the app add the sync account. There's a small difference between the Facebook Sync account that is manually added or the Facebook Sync account that the app adds itself. You can even see a small difference in the icons (Account & Sync).
Hope this helps further ...
Facebook Contacts Won't Sync?
Don't know if you're still interested in the fix for this, but you'll need to go to facebook.com using any browser (don't need your phone for this), go into your security settings.
On the bottom left, you'll see a link for "Apps and websites: edit your settings," click on this and then edit the settings for "Apps you use."
Delete "Samsung Mobile."
You can log out now as you won't need to do anything else at facebook.
Now go into your phone and delete your integrated facebook account (if you haven't already).
Create a new integrated facebook account as you usually would. If you don't sync the first time, reboot and try again.
It has nothing to do with deleting the actual app. There are two Facebook services on the Android as Orvo has said, you can notice the difference in them by looking at the icons. Only one of them lets you sync contacts to your phone, if the first doesn't try, try the other. One of them works.
I had the same problem i fixed it by reflashing the whole rom with a full wipe.
Hope it helps..
This is my first Android phone and I'd like to sync my S-Planner calendar with my gmail account but I can't get it to work.
On the Note I go S-Planner>settings>calendars and check "My calendar" and the email account. Then >Calendar sync>Sync all.
My Agenda items should appear in the calendar on gmail right? But they don't. Can anyone help please?
There are other threads on this - you should've searched the forums first (as per the rules)
In an attempt to help, just from recollection, My Calendar IS the local phone calendar and can only be synced via Kies. If you want to sync with google then you need to use your google account calendar instead. In S-Planner settings untick My Calendar and tick the calendar for your google account. All appointments should now be added to your google account and sync with google's servers. Obviously you'll have to add your entries again Or work out how to move them.

Thank you. Yes, of course I checked other posts, but I couldn't find anyone who couldn't sych at all and who was able to identify a reason that I hadn't already explored, hence the question. As a teacher I know the joy of sharing knowledge, so thank you for your help.
Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?
