Android-Sync

I have been using Android-Sync (sorry can't post links, new user) for about 6 months now with my Motorola RAZR HD.

It syncs with Outlook via USB cable. So far I have not had any issues. No duplicates. No unexplanable deletions. It has worked very well so far.

It creates a generic "Android-Sync" account on your phone that syncs your Calendar, Contacts, Notes and Tasks. Or you can set it to sync with your Google account. I have only used the Android-Sync account, as that is the recommended. I am currently contemplating trying the sync to my Google account to try and get my Outlook contacts into my Google contacts.

Calendar and Contacts are synced to the stock Calendar and People apps in the phone. Notes and Tasks are synced to new apps called Android-Sync Notes and Android-Sync Tasks respectively.

You can set-up how much or how little get synced. For example you can sync all your calendar items or "Don't sync items older than ___ days."

Go through the setup page here: (sorry can't post links) which has a number of screen shots that help in explaining a lot.

I have used Blackberry Desktop extensively in the past and this is quite similar.

I have also used Companion Link for Outlook (sorry can't post links) with DejaOffice on an iPhone. (I have not used Companion Link to sync with my Android, so this is based on my used with iPhone)

This setup worked in terms of syncing, my only issue was with both the stock ios Calendar and Contacts apps the "Notes" fields would never display a full note, neither would the "Notes" fields the respective DejaOffice app, the note would just stop after a certain number of characters (kinda like twitter!). This was frustrating, as some of my Contacts have lengthy notes attached to them.

Neither Android-Sync or Companion Link are free though. I am fine with this, as long as it works.

Android-Sync is $29.99 and Companion Link is $49.99.

Android-Sync has a trial download here: (sorry can't post links) and also a 60 day full refund policy. I do not know if the trial version has limitations.

Companion Link also has a trial download here (sorry can't post links) which is fully functional for 14 days. At the end of 14 days you are asked to purchase a full license. They have a 90 day full refund policy.

Hope this was helpful.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll try and help from my experience with these.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benreaves:
VCOorganizer but

Same here - VCOrganizer was more reliable than CompanionLink for me. I migrated to Android from Palm in 2009. non-cloud sync is necessary when traveling internationally, and to protect confidential client information. Sync by cloud, lose your license.

Still VCO sometimes does the wrong thing. It's almost always related to the Outlook interface (most recently after migration to Outlook 2013 which took me 2 months to unravel). So I would trust a Microsoft solution more than an independent. Lawyers and doctors can pay handsomely for this. Satya, are you listening? do you read xda-developers? Do any of your developers read this?

Hello

This is the first time m on a native android device(jumped from HD2;)) .so please forgive if I sound stupid..

Have Unlocked the bootloader using HTCDEV.com.on the top it says **UNLOCKED**

ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Isn't it suppose to say S-OFF :confused::confused:???cant really make out if actually unlocked the bootloader

Is thr any way to relock :D??
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
It's supposed to say UNLOCKED if you used HTCDev's method to unlock.

If for some reason it is S-Off'ed by revolutionary, it would say REVOLUTIONARY --> this is not yet available, but if it is, thats what it would say.

Make sure you got correct stock software installed on the phone, then in fastboot mode, use this command:

fastboot oem lock

Now it will say RELOCKED, you can't revert it to say LOCKED.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexx910:
Hey guys,

this thread is mainly for those who already replaced their screen successfully :D ;)

so, last week or so I managed to completely crack my digitizer and the screen, so I ordered a new one. But when I took my phone apart I accidently ripped of the touch sensors/buttons or whatever, which I have also to order to repair my phone.

But the problem was that there was kinda ceramic back that was glued to the screen panel and I dont have a replacement for this. Would this be problematically if I just place the screen ontop without put something sticky inbetween? or better asked, will this hold for a long time and will the display stay at its place without glue stripes or something like this? :)

And another question, the touch sensors for menu and back button were also fixed with transparent tape, but I dont have some sort of this at home or anywhere else :/ Is this a problem and will the touch sensors work again with a new module?

Because there arent so many on ebay and it seems like there will be no glue with that I can fix the touch panes to the digitizer from the backside.

I hope you can help me and sorry for the bad english, I hadnt lessons for more than two weeks and I have already forgotten the most^^

anyway, thanx a lot :)

[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I'm wondering what 4.0 rom's offer that the 3.6 roms don't. I'm not asking "what is the best rom.." but wanting to know first hand experience why people have chose to use any of the sense 4.0 roms instead of the standard ICS 3.6 ones.

Mainly wondering about the top concerns: performance, battery life, usability and camera/video.

Thanks ahead of time, I did search and didn't find answers to my questions.
[HTC Sensation] rferrerca:
I'm now using OrDroid rom...

What I can tell you is that if you want performance, with any doubt go to sense 3.6. Sense 4.0 are still too laggy. Camera I would also tell you sense 3.6 due there is a mod for 40 mbps video while in 4. 0 its just 20. Battery life I can't tell you because I don't feel any difference.

I'm using a sense 4.0 rom because I really like the user interface and the cool clock.
[HTC Sensation] JustinRawr:
I like Sense 4 ROM's, the looks are better than 3.6. I notice that the battery life is a little worse tho than 3.6 ROM's but I'm a heavy user so to me it's all pretty much the same. I'm using OrDroid and its nice and smooth but after a few hours it gets a little sluggish. There is a MMS problem also but besides that it's pretty much stable.
[HTC Sensation] Mr Troop:
I tried sense 4 never been back to 3.6, TRY FOR YOURSELF
[HTC Sensation] kamik_f:
i tried 3.6 , 4.0 and to be honest sense less roms are the best. fastest, better battery life, cleanest than any other sense rom
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
Buy GNex then.
[HTC Sensation] hunter890:
You could always make a nandroid backup and try it for yourself. I tried out OrDroid for the past few days and I found it stable and useable enough to be a daily driver (I don't really use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Hotspot) but I eventually went back to ARHD because it seems more stable anyway. Having said that I like the user interface of Sense 4.0; it looks so much better. I didn't really notice a significant change in battery life with Sense 4.0, but my usage pattern varies from day to day so it's very hard to tell. My phone was hotter with Sense 4.0, but that could have been the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Ha ha. Grumpy terepin, nice to see you on Sensation forums. :)
[HTC Sensation] peacekeeper05:
Yes since we're getting it without buying anything. Haha,

Tried a sense 4 rom already but still too heavy and slow for my taste. I'm now using a senseless rom.
[HTC Sensation] GhostZini:
Uhhhh, sense 4.0 rocks. I was using OrDroid 2.0.6 and now onto newer 2.0.8 and I can say its amazing. I have experienced no lag no poor battery performance or any ill effects. There is a patch for mms fix in op of ordroids forum and to get good battery life u must put phone thru a couple cycles after battery calibration. If u people would dig a little u will find the things needed for good performance. Sense 3.6 sucks compared to 4.0 and that's a fact. Simply flash and see for yourself dude. I dare ya to.

[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
LOL. So I just got my new Resound rooted this morning by a guy that I know and I am looking to flash my first ROM. A nandroid has already been made. Coming from a rooted DX, this HTC format is a little different. Can you guys give me some recommendations on a good, stable ROM? Many thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Meticode:
I was like you over a month ago. I've came from a heavily custom original Droid, to a Droid X2 to now the Rezound. The HTC method is really different, my recommendation would be to flash TwiZted SenZes. wildtang gives full instructions on what to do and they're very clear. Also his official website AndroidPassions.com features a "The Box" where you can chat live with developers and he'll help you most of the time if he's in. Please note that if you flash the new firmware to run ICS ROMs, you can't revert back to using Gingerbread ROM from what I hear. But ICS Roms are highly stable now since the last leak we had of an official Rezound leak. If you have any questions please ask...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549507
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
the ruu with the newer firmware also wipes internal so be sure to backup

use the "thanks" if I helped you at all
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Wrong section, should only be posting threads here if you are a dev.

The current ICS leaks are nice, really can't recommend them until HTC fixes the kernel issues though. Of course everyone results vary.

I wouldn't flash the leaked ICS RUU either, there are work arounds for the most popular ROMs now.

Check out the list of ROMs at the top of this forum for ideas and post any questions in the Q&A section or the ROM thread if it's specific to that ROM.
[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
Oh ok.. My bad. I don't use thus forum a lot so I wasn't sure where to post.
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
I will try to save you some headaches. Make sure you use amon ra recovery. Do not use clockworkmod as many people have issues and if you let the battery die while cwm is installed you will have to find a new way to charge that battery or buy a new one. I have been a big fan of Scott's clean roms. It is mostly stock sense just cleaned up and smooth. Some of the others are a bit more themed to that developers liking. Scott has good instructions on his website. And make sure you read then reread the original post so you understand what to do, what works, and what may not work. Scotts clean Rom 4.3 is a great place to start and included is the patch for the old firmware. Then flash some of the others to see what you prefer. I am currently running BAMF sense 4.0 and it runs great but there are still some bugs to be worked out. You will pick it up quick as long as you read instructions first. Like someone else said ask if you have problems but just in the right forum. Happy flashing!

[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No problem, just giving you a heads up.
[HTC Rezound] fenguepay:
LOL i came from a rooted dx too, i used the cm7 release. I have a really useful tool to unlock your rezound, from there i would recommend a rom like cleanrom. It is really fast and stable. Enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
Team Win Recovery is the recovery system that is being used. Does this mean I can go ahead and flash any rom?
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
So I looked into team win recovery and I'm sure it might work but have not heard anyone using it for the rezound. I suggest using amon ra ver 3.15. It can be found in the development section. Make a backup then flash away.

sent from my Clean Rezound
[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
I've got Scott's Clean ICS rom installed and it's impressive! One thing I don't like is the number icon in the battery.. :(
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
I love having the number in the battery icon. I saves me real estate on my screen by not having to install a 3rd party widget to tell me whats left. Anyway, look through the themes and app section but this may be the only person working on what your looking for. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551602 at the bottom of the OP you will see "To go back to the stock look for CleanROM 4.3. Flash this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12286815/Cle...Flyhalf205.zip ". Not sure if it has the number in the icon. This is not my work all credit to flyhalf205 and who_mike_d so hit up some of their threads and give some thanks. This is only for CleanRom 4.3. If your on a different version you can find some older post if you look around.
[HTC Rezound] gumdoc:
CleanROM 4.3 has been rock solid for me, no issues at all. I didn't like the battery either so I flashed it with a battery mod found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551303

Very happy with this combo so far.
[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
Well now I'm having issues when I go back to recovery mode. I'm unable to select recovery, instead I am stuck with only choosing up or down volume for upgrade and then power to restart the phone... Also this rom has me set on 3G instead of 4G..
[HTC Rezound] crispybacon:
Ok finally Unlocked mine, now what just use Nils 1-click and I'm set?
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Delete the PH98IMG.zip from your SD card. That will get you back to recovery. Or you can send the adb command when you are connected to your computer

adb reboot recovery
[HTC Rezound] artisticsoul79:
That worked!! Thank you.

Newer drivers

I have the 3.0.0.13 drivers for Win7x64, got them from here but can't find the thread now.

This is good work by the way, thanks for doing it. Have you looked into this? I think this guide is a good qualification. :D

Update: Attachment removed to save space on the XDA servers.

3.0.0.13_drivers.zip
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Zip file is corrupt , and it should be around 13 MB in size

HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe is the Drivers used by Revolutionary ( this is the one to be used always not the newer driver versions )

you can think of newer htc drivers as the newer htc software

that is Patched to prevent

certain commands or software execution

for example , lot of members had errors connecting to Revolutionary until they remove htc newer drivers and install the Old one HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe as i always advise of that to when using Revolutionary , i guess it would be the same in fastboot for full support of commands
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Not corrupt, it is the "naked" driver package and only for Win7x64. Good points about the other driver, always best to have various options since one size does not fit all.

stock ICS to custom

Hi there,

i tried to find answer but a lot of indirect answers fiund...

I have pyramid, stock GB 2.3.4 was S-OFFed via alpharev, rooted. CWM recovery everything was fine...

Then wanted OTA ICS update, so i downgraded all things....flashed stock recovery, downloaded proper RUU, super CID, flashed RUU...

Now i am ICS with 1.27 hboot.....loader says S-OFF...i have wifi problems with stock ICS so i want another ICS custom ROM....how i will flash custom recovery? Will any of these files working with my current spec above?

S-OFF, no root, 1.27 hboot, stock ICS unrooted...
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
flash firmware 3.32 unlocked , then flash cwm recovery from bootloader , then better flash 4ext recovery for ICS

you can also root using superSU from market , install 4EXT updater , it will install recovery from market

press thanks button if this thread helped you
[HTC Sensation] ianbbaa:
Thanks again, (also pressed one :),

i was too quick to flash OTA ICS file but wifi bugs...i dont know right now which RUU it was i flashed, but deivce show UNLOCKED - S-OFF....so acording your advice i can not flash recovery right now, must reflash unlocked firmware even device shows UNLOCKED and S-OFF

sorry guys, threads are so full with informations so i am lost when i am not reading daily
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
you can try to flash it , it should work without flashing Firmware

if your hboot is 1.27.0000 then this is the locked bootloader ( if in this case it shows unlocked for hboot 1.27.0000 , then you unlocked it with htc dev or super tool ) . this is not required with S-OFF devices , and if you done that then relock bootloader again and flash firmware 3.32 again ( better to start clean before flashing ICS again )

I'm trying to install Recovery.img through method 1. For some reason it keeps telling me that it's <waiting for device> (in CMD, all files in the correct place), thus it's not able to find it. I've tried to load it in bootloader, same problem. There is no way of updating a program through Bootloader for me, and if there is I have no idea how to do this (Method 2). Any suggestions?

Edit: Woops, forgot to unlock bootloader, I'll be back with the results :D
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
you will not be able to install custom recovery with you bootloader locked

you have to unlock bootloader before trying that , there is a method to unlock bootloader without losing warranty in the link i gave you in ARHD thread

if you unlocked your bootloader and have this error then :

it is better to use Method two from bootloader

uninstall htc sync then uninstall new htc drivers that comes with it , and install Old htc driver download link for HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

uncheck fast boot under setting \ power or simply remove battery and put it back and boot to boot loader

start cmd as admin , disable firewall if needed , remove conflicting software or APK's

disable firewall
