[Captivate General] G35tr:
Sorry guys for the long thread, but there are a lot of you here that are waaaay more knowledgeable then I at this, so I want to give you as much information as possible on the situation. Perhaps a quick easy fix can come from this. I feel at this point, this is a MAJOR downfall of the Captivate, and hopefully we can get something ironed out.

Anyway, back on track. At this point, I’m suspecting the Outlook PST file. I replaced my normal PST file with a blank and begin testing some of the different Outlook appointment options to see if one of them may be causing some incompatibility issues. I create appointments that included recurring events, important flags, different description formatting, meeting requests with other contacts, different “show-as” status’, different categories, all sorts of stuff. Interesting enough every single appointment from the fresh PST file successfully sync’ed back to the phone. For every test, I actually disconnected the USB and made a change to the appointment to verify with would sync back to Outlook through the Kies calendar. All were successful, although I had 2 that didn’t come back quite as expected. These were both simple compatibility issues and didn’t affect the function. I can get into these later on.

At this point, it’s obvious that Kies is having issues with my original PST file. But because it’s actually retrieving the 2 rouge appointments that no longer appear within Outlook itself, I’m thinking that all of the version upgrades may be making the PST file uneasy.

So I decide to start a fresh new “Outlook 2010 created” PST file, run it alongside the original PST file within Outlook, and start dragging everything over into it. I moved over everything, and set the new file as the default.

After finishing this up, I again connected the phone, and attempted an Outlook Sync within Kies. As usual all of the Outlook data from my calendar (from newly created PST file) is imported into the Kies calendar. Close the widget and reopen to verify the data has gone to the phone. Success!! All of the appointments are there.

Not-so-fast. I disconnect the phone and check the calendar. A lot of stuff IS there, but I notice some are not. Hmmm. I determined that all of the appointments that are missing, as Outlook recurring appointments. Funny, I had no issues with recurring appointments in my testing.

I decide to add these manually in the Android calendar on the phone to see what happens. As I do this and scroll around, suddenly one of the missing recurring appointments just appears! HA, the appointments don’t appear until I get to the month were the very first one occurred. For example, say you create a recurring appointment on the 1st of every month, and it started back on 01/01/2010. When you open your calendar, July of 2010 is displayed, and the appointment is not there. But if you scroll back to January 2010, BOOM, they all pop into place. Seems odd. I fixed this by adjusting all of my recurring appointments to start this month. So while all of the missing recurring appointments display correctly now, it will be interesting to see what happens next month.
[Captivate General] G35tr:
Well that's a lot of typing, so I'm going to take a break. I'll discuss some of the compatibility limitations later on.

These include things like:

*recurring appointments that occur every other week (a scheduling option that Android appears not to support),

*text formatting in descriptions,

*description lengths

*Outlook categorys

*etc.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
that was nuts and totally unnecessary...

still its nice to see a post that doesn't follow along the lines of, "why contacts kies not worked outlook HELP ME! NAO"

ok so basically, im pretty sure you can just sync your outlook calendar with google's calendar and then synchronize your phone to the google calendar.
[Captivate General] G35tr:
Yeah, I know it's possible to sync via your Google calendar. I just have no interest in going throught the "cloud". I prefer to manage my data locally.
[Captivate General] sixstringer:
IMpressive research but I must say that every Kies installation on different OS - XP, Vista, W7 has its own way of behaving. I am runnin XP and when I wanted to synchronize outlook contacts and appointments, it went fine the very first time. After which I made a few more appointments in the Android Calendar and and wanted to sync to Outlook. Kies gave me two options - Re-Sync Historty or Update -- Bad call I chose Update and it wiped out my entire oulook calendar. My outlook is set up in default mode and using .OST file as would any profile that is set to be connected directly to the exchange server. Now that means I lost all my calendar appointments on the server as well. Fortunately, the appointments are present in the Phone - but I cannot get them to now load in the Kies Calender Widget. And since Kies is not able to download it - I cant push it back into Outlook either. I am kind of stuck now and frustrated with how this simple software should have worked. It also wiped out my entire contact list from outlook - Any help to sort out the issue is appreciated. Remember I am using Outlook 2007 with BCM and all my calendar events and Contacts are now on the phone - I wont do a hard reset unless I find a way to export it some how and get it into outlook.
[Captivate General] HvyHitR:
Kies - Android - Sync

Appreciate you going through it all... new PST test etc.

I'm a long-time WinMo user and just got the Samsung Captivate - have been relying on the simplicity of WinMo sync with Outlook - like you - since 2000. I looked back at the originating/recurring appt. As you pointed out in the post doesn't show up in current view... opened one that I set back in early 2007 and wahlah... populated the view to current. I searched and searched for answers looking at the suggestions of DejaOffice, etc. And just wanted to say thanks to you for actually looking in to the actual issue versus all the other suggestions of moving to other 3rd party apps. I will load MSOffice on this phone when its ready to get a more familiar calendar (and everything else) - but at least you offered some suggestions that helped!
[Captivate General] FireRaider:
Thanks for the efforts in making this clear.

Like yourself, I have used the WinMo phones in the past. Tilt, Tilt2. All flashed and modified.

I decided to give Android a whirl with this Captivate and am starting to regret it.

I use Outlook at work and with WinMo I could sync instantly with USB or Bluetooth, this Android phone isn't nearly as friendly to business interfacing.

I used Google to bring over all my contacts but my schedule changes so often the calendar was more hassle than it was worth.

I will now give it a try and see what happens. Thanks for taking the time to type all the instructions in.
[Captivate General] shawnl01:
Try GsycIt

I gave up with Kies never connecting most of the time. Then when it would finally connect to it; it failed after the machinew as rebooted.

I ended up trying out GSyncIt and it works perfectly (so far) with Outlook 2010. I wanted something that got the photos to gmail and couldn't get the Kies to work.

Now Gsyc sends the contact updates, with photos to Google. The one problem I've found is that it keeps Outlook open.
[Captivate General] warp.asylum:
By far the easiest way I've found is to just use Outlook Hotmail Connector. I set up a hotmail account in outlook and have all of my other email accounts delivered to my hotmail inbox, and save my contacts and calendar events to the hotmail contacts/calendar (all of which is in outlook). It all automatically gets synced to hotmail's servers. Then I set up my hotmail account as an exchange account on my phone and told the calendar to use the hotmail calendar. Now I have all of my outlook email, calendar, and contacts on my phone. And since it all goes through the hotmail account, it all gets automatically synced across my desktop, laptop, and phone. I can make changes on any of them and they will show up on the others.

It goes through hotmail's servers (the "cloud"), so some of you may not want to do it.. but it sure is a lot easier than what I've seen in this thread..
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Android Manager works fine for me and no cloud, either.
[Captivate General] Patanjali:
Thanks for that, Miami_Sun (are you turning Japanese?).

Android Manager WiFi works well. It shows which appointments are on which device, so I don't have to update everything if I don't want.

Plus it allows configuring how far ahead.

The only thing that stumped me was how to remove items. Then I realised it involved updating from the corresponding blank item on the other device. Not exactly intuitive when most are used to a using a right-click Delete option, but it makes sense when doing lots of them.

It is easier than KiesAir in that it will automatically find the devices, whereas with KiesAir, it requires that device URL be typed into a browser on the PC.

I avoid using programs such as Kies, WMP, etc for media updates as they usually get too creative with tags and sorting. Instead I use the USB drive mode of my Note and use a plain file synchroniser (SynchBack) to match up my device to my computer. I play tracks using the Samsung player by Artist then Album or WinAmp by Album so that the songs are in album order, not alphabetical.

However, I will have to use Kies to update the ROM, especially when ICS comes.

As to the problems connecting from Kies to a device after updates, I found turning the device completely off (even removing and replacing the battery), then restarting it allowed Kies to find the device, with subsequent connections being very quick.

Hello,

I have Official Froyo HTC Sense ROM from AdamG i'm very happy with phone performance but also have one strange problem with google reader:

I'm using this reader:google.com/reader/i. When i use internet through WiFi everyfing works fine, but when i use 3g internet google reader shows only feeds. When i try to open feed i always see this message:Oops an error ocurred. Please try again in few seconds. When i change to WiFi internet my feeds opens smoothly. Maybe someone there can help me? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gf_gollum:
OK there are many setting to do with syncing - that I cleaerly dont' understand how they interact

a) Settings - Accounts & sync. Background data If this is set to disallow - then I assume nothing sync's ever?

b) If background data is enabled - then you have "auto-sync" - which seems to mea - allow the accounts listed below it - to sync automatically

c) Each account has its own sync options

d) Each account in Google mail - has its own sync options

e) each account in eMail has its own sync frequency

(why do we have gmail email and email e-mail (which I have setup for gmail anyway) with different sync settings?

How to apps with their own sync options sync? Are they over-ridden by the Background data option?

Basically I seem to be pulling down data over 3G and I don't understand why

Explanations appreciated

(confused!)

Graham
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
In settings those are just google sync options, plus a few others that pop up there; last.fm, facebook, probably the official twitter application.

Gmail and email are two separate applications, hens the different settings.

In a perfect world the applications would be designed to no pull data when you don't want to, but some don't.

If you don't want data then don't enter anything for your APN and that will never pull any data because that tells the internet where to get data from.

then I would navigate too,menu, tap menu, Connections,....this should show you what is enabled. Disable the Brightstar or whatever it is called connection. Leave the connection setup you had installed in tact.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] OSCARIBANYEZ:

I have installed a cab of htc conection setup, hi have solved the connection problem...

But on screen messages appear on the condition of the calls.

Is it necessary to change something in the editor register but not that is?

[Droid Incredible General] jeffreycentex:
Anyone notice that after installing 2.2 (with the new radio) that the signal strength bars are wacky?

I can go from 3 bars to 0 bars and back in a few seconds while my phone says -100 in network status...

Also, I had a much higher signal strength in pre-OTA, and the leaked OTA than I do in 2.2... (At least if I track the number). This morning I had the phone off charger where before the update I had two bars and a -80 strength. Post update, 0 bars and -102 strength and under Cell Standby it had 80% signal loss....
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
I have been hearing that the 2.2 leaked rom is bad on battery. This is why.
[Droid Incredible General] compnird:
So far I am seeing better signal reliability than before. I am in an area outside of Seattle... Good signal most everywhere but I work in a building so usually got 1, maybe 2 bars of 1x. Now it is showing 2-3 bars of EV and my data connection is faster at my desk.

I did a *228, option 2 directly after loading the updated ROM.

And no idea who said 2.2 was bad on battery but I am seeing the opposite. Been playing with my phone all day, a LOT more so than normal and still over 80% charge. Usually at about 60% by now with not nearly as much use.
[Droid Incredible General] breathtakingevil:
Agreed, I have been downloading apps, using Nexus live wallpaper, browsing internet, texting, took a video and using the HTC Flashlight as well as arranging my home screen all day. Not plugged it in once since 06:56 and I'm at 49%. This is unheard of for me on this phone.

((Admit I did the charge trick when I woke up though))
[Droid Incredible General] Lcsglvr:
My dbm is about the same as it was before, but the signal bars are much more accurate and do not fluctuate like the OP states. I was using SkyRaider1.9b but now I just got the new radio and installed leaked OTA. We'll see about battery tomorrow.... 2.2 (no 2.x radio) in skyraider was better than 2.1 Eclair as far as battery. We'll see how 2.2 stock leak OTA works on battery. Give that a few days and then try SkyRaider 2.0.

I'm also pretty excited to see what CM6 turns out like once everything is sorted out.
[Droid Incredible General] compnird:
I am having a couple issues with the official Beta of Swype on the Leaked 2.2 ROM. According to a browse through the Swype forums it looks like Swype does have issues on 2.2 in general. Hopefully we can get an updated version that isn't so buggy.

1. Swype has stopped functioning randomly several times. Can use as regular keyboard. - Attempted clearing temporary data (cache) but didn't fix. Ended up re-installing it to get it working again.

2. Occasionally the default keyboard just sets itself back to the HTC/Android and I have to re-set Swype as my input method.

Anyone else having these issues? This will also be posted on the official Swype Beta forums as soon as I figure out how to post there. :)
[Droid Incredible General] Dmtalon:
1st: didn't work using Titanium backup, I had to uninstall, and reinstall from scratch

2nd: I couldn't get it to swype into the URL bar of internet, however without doing anything else it worked in another app just fine...

So, there's some "things" going on for sure.
[Droid Incredible General] bigbarrel:
Same

I agree my Swype doesn't work on Froyo. This sucks. I'm forced to use swiftkey...which isn't that bad.
[Droid Incredible General] VCURamEngineer:
I don't recall where I saw the thread, but apparently Swype has responded. They said a reinstall isn't necessary, just switch to the stock keyboard and back to Swype. I haven't tried it yet, but figured I'd pass along the information.

http://swype.uservoice.com/forums/1...-be-reinstalled-every-time-i-reboot?ref=title
[Droid Incredible General] Dmtalon:
That works, however not forever. It eventually stops working again. I've had to "hold" on the input box to get the popup to switch input methods a couple of times now. Each time it has fixed swype for a little while.
[Droid Incredible General] magneticzero:
nevermind, still seems to be buggy on 2.2

I just rooted and unlocked last night...had a few issues. Should be around most of the evening. Where are you and what did you do?

Last night I used that unrEVOked3.1 software and then moved on to unlocking. You will need to ADB installed to do it the way I did it. This is a component of the Andoroid SDK. (You can find that from the google android site.) It is complicated and I got through it because I am old enough to have actually worked in DOS back when there were dinosaurs.

It's not impossible, there are instructions out there...but it will take effort. Hate to point you away from xda...'cause LOTs of good work here...but I followed the unlockr.com tutorial for unlocking nand.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-unlock-nand-on-the-htc-evo-4g/

There were a couple issues where su couldn't find the sdcard. I even did lists and saw it, but the commands failed at start. Took a mix of unplugging usb and replugging and mounting and just charging....not sure what fixed it...LOL. But I got the commands to run eventually.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
You can use Rom Manager app to install CM7. In fact Rom Manager is included in CM7 Rom. Honestly I think Rom Manager was made mostly for CM Roms. Make sure you wipe data, cache and davlik before going to CM from another Rom. I never flash through Rom Manager app and always flash manually from recovery, but a lot of people do flash through Rom Manager. Good Luck.

Also just to clarify(someone correct me if I'm wrong),

I think if you used the unrevoked3 app from this thread Unrevoked to root your EVO that it also nand unlocks it too. The thread doesn't state it, but the app has been updated to work with the latest hboot, so it should work on all Evo's right now. I could be wrong, but I have used the latest Unrevoked to root all of the Evo's that I have rooted and have never had any problems with backups, restores and flashing Rom's.

If you are s-off, but still having problems with some root apps, you need to install busybox. You can do this from the "problems?" button in the bottom right of the overview screen in Titanium Backup. Then choose "get busybox".
