Yep, different strokes for different folks. Upgrading to a better camera made it all worth while to me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Coldheat1906:
My phone keeps scanning the micro card sd slot,..... it finds it then rescans it over and over again....

This really wears down my battery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
The A2 suffers from sdcard issues as well. Although using a class 4 card instead of a class 10 seems to have taken care of mine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
I would also toss the vivid into this comparison
[Motorola Atrix 2] jeremyshaw:
Family has one. Frequent crashes, even after replacement and several resets. Also has skittles for battery life. I'd recommend waiting on next Gen LTE chipsets on 28nm next year if you want lte.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Coldheat1906:
Thanks but I went ahead and traded in my Galaxy S2 for the Atrix 2.

So for I am pretty happy and really like the feel of it.

How do you like yours? Any regrets?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
Nice! My buddy bought one and his constantly hangs, reboots, and his pictures and apps don't save on the device. He took it back already and still has the same issues. Poor fellow is over 30 days so he can't return it was did not get the warranty. I'm still happy I traded mine in for the SGS II. Bug fixes for this device needs to happen for the A2 soon. Hopefully they will get them released soon.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chriz7388:
Which micro sd card issue are you talking about... i have tried 5 cards in my atrix 2 nd all cards work just fine... try doing a factory reset nd it may help you... otherwise, you were just out of luck while picking up this unit frm stores...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
The issue is using any card this is a class 7 or higher 16GB or 32GB card. If you use a class 6 or lower SDcard you will be fine. The issue is things disappear from the SDcard for no reason. It has been documented on this board by many of us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdmba:
Are there any apps which will sync a non-HTC phone with Outlook. Note: This is not exchange, just a local copy of outlook, which is where my calendar and contacts are stored.

I do not wish to wash my contacts/calendar through GMAIL so I am wondering if an app exists.

I am currently on a HTC phone so I have access to HTC Sync which automatically sync's to a local copy of Outlook; something I suspect will not work if I move off of HTC.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that is a positively no

to an Exchange Server yes, to Office Outlook, no

you can install Outlook to Google Sync

Then Sync everything to your Gmail account
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdmba:
Odd

HTC gives that functionality for free with their phones, so it is clearly possible.

Would be a great app for a developer; no idea why it does not exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
Probably because most people either sync it with Exchange or Google already. Tethered sync is a thing of the past.

With that said, nothing is stopping someone from developing it but I don't think that many people use that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Email client should be synced with servers, not other clients. I never understand why people want to sync with outlook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdmba:
Ahhhhh but there is the issue. I am not seeking to sync an Email client.

I am seeing to sync a pim.

In other words, my calendar and contacts are all in outlook, and HTC phones come with a program to sync contacts and calendar with outlook. I an looking for that functionality in an app.

Answers are appreciated.

[Q] SIMPLE Sync with Outlook?

I don't store my contacts online, only in Outlook and on my phone. I used to use HTC Sync with my Desire HD.... hows the hell do I do this simple thing on the Nexus!? :confused: Searching seems to bring up that I should install some crappy Google tools (that I don't want) to sync to the net.

I tries Kies, as it's a Samsung, but predictably it didn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Run an Exchange server?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
MyPhoneExplorer might work, if the client runs on ICS. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Why not use Moxier? Search Android Market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
I only know Moxier Mail and that's an exchange client. Can one of the Moxier products really sync directly with Outlook via USB or bt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Hi,

I currently use HTC Desire and Im order Galaxy Nexus. I have all my Contacts, Calendars in outlook and I synch them with HTC Sync application(Both way: Phone->PC & PC->Phone). I need same functionality on my new Galaxy Nexus.

1.) Is there some free application which can do this?

2.) It can be some plugin for outlook 2007/2010 which automatic sync with google when I make some changes on PC or when I press sync button on phone(I don't have enabled automatic sync). Do exist something like this?

If exist something like I searching can someone post link to PC app(For phone I don't want any application because it will use google contacts, calendar, notes...)

Thanks for any help.

Google Apps Sync? Click here for further info

Google Calendar Sync supports 2 way syncing - Click here

What about funambol? Click here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Im already try "Google Apps Sync" few weeks ago when Im try sync Nexus S(Which Im have on test and Im return it) with google...

Im try it again now but I still have same problem:

When I install it it ask me for google account and password. I write both but return me error:

Google Apps Sync is not enabled for your email account. Please ask your domain administrator to enable it.

Im look search for solution and find few but I don't want link any domain to Google Apps.

Im also try "Google Calendar Sync" and it work normaly.

I don't want sharing my personal and bussines data to Google but because I don't have other option I will do that but sharing data to some 3rd company like funambol is not option.

So now I must find solution for Contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
I am in the same boat as the OP, Nokia does it with PC suite, HTC does it with HTC Sync, Samsung does it with KIES, I have a Nexus one and have not been able to sync outlook with the nexus or outlook with Google, I Keep getting errors, my HTC Desire Z I just plug the cable to the phone and laptop it connects syncs everything is fine, all I want is to sync Contacts and Calendar, the only solution I found to sync with the Nexus one and it looks like I have to do the same with the Galaxy Nexus is to export Outlook files than import them with Google and sync from there, with contacts its no big problem once a week or month is fine but with Calendar to do this daily and sometimes a few times daily as schedule changes its a pain, why Google or any develop has never thought of making an app for easy sync is beyond me, if HTC Samsung Nokia and Apple can do it why not Google ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Wait, you update your calendar several times a day and you want to manually sync it each time by connecting the phone to a computer? Even with things like HTC Sync that does it quickly, that doesn't sound like a good idea...

This is why Android supports Exchange ActiveSync, so Microsoft products users can get instant updates on their Android handsets. Users who need to manually sync their Microsoft products offline is such a corner case, I doubt they will ever provide a good solution for it. That was something that made sense back in the Pocket PC days when phone and PDA were separate things. But it doesn't make much sense in today's world of smartphones. What you need to do is just run an Exchange server.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JKChad:
try this, http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/

I'm not sure if they support android 4.0 yet, but I have used it to sync palm desktop to android, outlook to android, and everything else in between. It isn't free, but if you really only need to do it once, you get a 14 day trial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
For calendar try "Google Calendar Sync" and set it both way and 120 minutes. It will sync outlook to google calendar every 120minutes. then you just click sync(if you don't have enabled auto sync) on phone and phone will sync calendar automaticly...

Only issue for me now is Contacts. Currently I have on Desire contacts synced by outlook and linked them to facebook that I have people images :D does Nexus support linking contacts?

Im long time ago try CompanionLink to sync contact's to HTC TyTn II with Android(If I remember right version 1.6) and it is fu*** all my contacts in outlook(remove international calling codes and some other things)... Also Im need to install some application on phone and sync take loooooong(It is pack all contacts, calendars on phone and transfer them by usb to pc, then pc analyze data and send back updates)...

If Im right this app from CompanionLink will be right for us:

http://www.companionlink.com/google/outlook/

All we need is sync Outlook to google. But this app cost 50USD. This is to much. Im spend €644 EUR(£530.27 GBP) for phone and now I must buy app to sync contacts? No way :) Cheaper HTC Desire(It cost £407 GPB) more than one and half year ago have Sync functionality with outlook included...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
yes I do sync calendar a few times a day, not every day but few days a week I have to do it, (busy schedule with many people with to many bloody meetings lol) yes I do have a cable to sync like the old days of pocket PC (am I that old ?) OK I have no idea how to do it with Exchange ActiveSync, I am going to Google it, if you have any links to some good sites I would a appreciated it,

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdmba:
Question ...

I thought of a possible solution but would love confirmation.

For purposes of at least a one time transition of the data from outlook (contacts / calendar) to GMAIL which would then be used on the Nexus, is there a way I can use my Droid Incredible as the middleman?

Since the data is already in the Incredible, is there a way to push it onto GMAIL, and then have the Nexus (if it ever comes out, and I don't get the Rezound instead of waiting for inifinity) pick it up?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rikbrown:
God, why all the aversion to syncing to the cloud? It's so much more convenient than lugging a cable around and doing it manually.

Once you go cloud you don't go back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdmba:
...

that is where my question was going ... I will sync to Google using my DInc if that would work. Unfortunately, no one has answered the inquiry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Sync Outlook to Google is Sync to cloud right? But we don't have FREE option to sync Outlook Contacts to Google!!! Sync Calendar work ok...

Sync phone to Google is not problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Atreus:
Has anybody tried the aforementioned MyPhoneExplorer? It's quite a handy tool and has worked on all my Android phones so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
I tried Companion link at home with Outlook 2010 and it works fine with USB cable and it has an option to go straight from desktop to Google works fine but the software costs $50 bucks, at work its another story, due to Company policies firewalls etc nothing works, I tried Google sync, Google Calendar Sync etc. etc. nothing works, my only option is to export the outlook file then use Google Calendar to import it, again with a cable and Nokia, HTC , Samsung, iTunes, etc works like a charm, ohh well I guess the hard way for me it is until something else comes along
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
What Android phones have you connected with MyPhoneExplorer ? I just downloaded this software and tried to connect my Nexus One and could not get it connected, I tried USB cable WiFi and Bluetooth, the PC and the phone are fine they are paired with Bluetooth etc but this software fails to connect to the Nexus One, I did not try the Galaxy Nexus because I don't have it yet, I am trying to find solutions so I can sync once I get it (next week)

Thanks

Hi,

we do our jobs (OL2003) with gsyncit 3.x - everything works well.

Works as follows:

Outlook <-> gsyncit <-> gmail <-> Android-Phone

its worth its price, for us it is a simple solution.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgmorris:
This (gsyncit) sounds like a good solution but the thought of having to buy 3 separate licenses for the family has me stalled at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matterhorn:
I've been using Deja Office and Companionlink to sync contancts, notes, calendar, to-do etc. with my phones to Outlook for years. The week view and list view are great. You can sync via USB cable, but apparently Honeycomb and ICS only plays nice with the wifi sync. If you don't like the cloud, this is a good solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgmorris:
+this

I contacted them and there's no volume license available. It's not like the family has tons of contacts to keep up but I would really like something automated.

If I'm willing to move away from Outlook it seems like Thunderbird has an add-on that will do this for free. I installed TBird on a new laptop for my wife and it looks OK so I may give that route a try. She uses Outlook on her main computer and didn't seem to mind the transition while on the laptop.

I also ran across GO Contact Sync and may test it as the calendar part is already taken care of by Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mekrel:
For initial contact syncing, you can export your contact to a CSV file from Outlook (apparently you can, not that I know as I don't use Outlook) or export it from your phones contacts. I'm not sure if all phones support exporting from the contacts application to CSV but I know Sense ones do.

You can then upload the CSV to Gmail; there's a guide here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inseek:
I was using CompanionLink 4.x to sync my Contacts and Tasks between my Outlook (I was using a Linux-based mail server at the time) to GMAIL account. It was doing the job most of the time with some quirks, erased all my Outlook contacts couple times (so keep a backup of your PST just in case) so I just gave up and got a hosted Exchange account for about a $10/mo What a relief! Now running TouchDown on the phone + tablet with almost 100% integration with Exchange and multiple Outlook clients on 3 computers. Works wonders for busy person with plenty of contacts and daily appointments/tasks reminders.

I've been using myphoneexplorer as previously suggested. For some reason it won't do calendar, which is fine, as I use Google sync, but it does contacts, files, app back up, photos and other things....both via USB and wirelessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senaca:
I used touchdown for some time. worked fine via 3G or WIFI. contacts, tasks, email and calender. all was there. until my company disabled the outlook web access.

So I would need an app that works while my GNexus is connected via USB.

I'll try MyPhoneExplorer next.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FMANBunnY:
I looked around the forums but couldn't find any good answers/explanations about it, so I decided to ask myself.

The thing is I grew addicted to GoWeather's live wallpapers showcasing the current weather, the HD ones are a true sight for sore eyes, the thing is I dont want it on my home screen because I feel it lags me up a bit, and I also dont like how it transitions on to other screens, but mainly because I like static backgrounds for my home.

So I wanted to set the live wallpaper to appear ONLY in the lockscreen (im using widgetlocker) but I simply can't set it to go there; is there anyway to set a live wallpaper only for the lockscreen? I tried browsing my phone's memory (I own a SE Xperia Neo) to see if I could find the live wallpaper myself and set it manually, but I cant find them on there.

If someone can shed some light on this or where the wallpaper got installed to I'd appreciate it greatly ^^

cheers

Hi guys,

I´ve just installed a day ago AGA ROM 2.0.1 (last beta release) and everything runs smoothly... except for the funny sound that Maildroid is running as notification.

I set sound I want in the rules section of Maildroid but nothing... It continues that funny "guaracha" style song as notification.

Help me please!!! you have no idea what happens when on a job meeting I get an email:o...

Everybody is good, my phone was just half a brick, through the BBS of gold card repaired before Y line HSPL, has successfully brush into the V2, should have been so far. But think of a net friend said before SPL5. X can through the original Zune also downgraded, is want to do an experiment to see if feasible. And he put the HSPL discharged, heavy brush back the official ROM, have never thought to () of the brush to seven, cell phones are automatic restart, after they stay in three color screen, only a line of words PD * * * SS-BC (4 K), flash software appeared error, he pulled out a USB line, shut down to restart, but has not into the system, a computer is directly into three color screen, it display only a line of words, can't brush back ROM, who can help me to solve this problem, it's always bothering me. thank you
[7 Mozart General] aixin:
Hi,

There's a new HTC update which to my experience and others too can fixed the issue of half bricked Mozart...My Mozart is previously half-brick just like yours.

Here's what you do:

Run Zune and while the phone is connected, check for an update...If there's an update available for you, update your phone. At first I was reluctant but the update went well and to my surprise, my bootloader is now fix and has an enabled Internet/WiFi Sharing.

Hope this works for you. Good luck...

sorry to ask but I downloaded a root and unroot that worked. It was an exploit that someone found.

I used it to root the phone and he also had the way to unroot it.

This did not flash anything just worked while the phone was on but with USB debugging on.

I can find this again. He was saying it would work on multiple devices.
