Nothing imported

I installed the latest syncroid and use adb to synchronize. Everything seems OK: Syncroid PC said the export is successful and Syncroid on the Phone said import is successful, but the calendar is still empty.

I tried synchronize through the drive: The exporting was successful, the pc.xml (in pc.zip) was correctly generated in SD card, and the importing also OK, but the calendar still empty.

Any suggestion?

WinXP, 32bit, Outlook2002. Android 2.3.1 on HD2.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
I didn't try it with 2.3 yet. This is the most likely reason. It could also be that your auto synchronization with google calendar is switched on.
[Android Apps and Games] kenthuang:
I followed the guide to turn off auto synchronization with google calendar before I use syncroid.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
I see. Ok then google probably changed calendar db format in Android 2.3. I'll try to get it as fast as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Emperor Crusher:
More questions

When you have a moment, I have a few more questions about Syncroid.

What is the minimum Android OS you know is supported?

Does it sync calendar categories (personal, business, etc)?

I don't think this is even possible, but does it sync an Outlook distribution list or Outlook contact list (multiple contacts referred to by one name, like HR listing all people in the HR department)?

Thank you for your time. BTW, you are in the top 8 sync software that people view.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
Currently it is 1.6 but I'll probably have to move to 2.01 in order to remove the nasty limitation to stop Google calendar sync in order to use Syncroid

I don't use them and cannot give an answer. I'll research how they are used and might add this to TODO list

Currently it doesn't sync any contacts. I'm working on this but it is too early to answer

Demosten, so would this work with the new droid 2 to sync with out look? Im trying to set this up for a co worker who was fed up with his blackberry..
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
I believe it will. So far the only big problem is that it is reported, it doesn't work on android 2.3. I'll do my best to fix that as soon as I get it on my phone.

Hi

I have downloaded the syncroid program, put it in the SD,

found after a minute the syncroid setup file,

and it cannot finish the installation, it says

C:\Users\mycomputer\AppData\LocalSyncroid\syncroid_pc.chm

An error occured while trying to read the source file: The source file is corrupted.

Hmm and the same for the rest of the installation

I just dowloaded it; 28/2/2011

pitty

I don't know what to do about that.

thanks in advance,

regards
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
Try the following:

Delete syncroid_setup.exe from your SD card

Restart your device

Start Syncroid press Home button and keep device awake for 2-3 minutes. A new syncroid_setup.exe should appear.

I'm trying to make extracting not be intrusive, but it causes too many troubles. Will search for another way in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] ParrotSquawk:
Add this to the to-do list...

How about a decent calendar app for the android that can USE the data? one that uses outlook's categories. Also it MUST HAVE THE ABILITY TO CUT AND PASTE APPOINTMENTS!!!!!

And while you're coding...a nice outlook-compliant mail app that can use outlook .rwz files for dumping junk mail and clones a .pst file structure would be great too.

I can come up with a great app OUTLINE but I can't code to save my daughters' lives :(

Anyone else up to the challenge.. anyone Bueller? Bueller?

PS I currently use My Phone Explorer which has a desktop component rather than a cloud environment (I have turned off google synchronization forever) but it does funky stuff so I am looking to replace with syncroid.

[Android Apps and Games] txdesi:
While we are asking for the ultimate - I have been looking for an app that will sync Outlook Notes to my droid and back !
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
PC part of syncroid is looking for a removable device which has "syncroid" subfolder. Inside this subfolder there should be android.zip file which is a result from your export! You need to make an export at least once. Hope this helps.

I recommend using adb or client/server interfaces. Currently android drive is just a fallback if for some reason the others are not working
[Android Apps and Games] ngcm1967:
Outstanding. Problem solved. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
New version (12.03.2011)

Updated version is out. Please note that this if you uninstall the old one and install the new one calendar will be lost. In such case you can reimport your last import by selecting "Import now". For power users - another option is to update with adb using command like:

adb install -r Syncroid.apk
[Android Apps and Games] Emperor Crusher:
New functionality?

Glad to hear the work is progressing. Is there any new functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
No, this version is mostly stabilizing current state and contains some improvements to help me support errors (especially from PC side)
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:
Perfect!

I just found this wonderful program.

Just installed it on my HTC Desire with CyanogenMod 7 build 32 ROM, and all is working perfect.

Im using adb interface on a Windows XP SP3 machine.

I was really missing the HTC Sync program from the orginal Sense rom, but this program is a great replacement.

So I thank you very much for developing this.
[Android Apps and Games] Bolick:
I'm going to give a try since also is interested in Exchange calendar sync with my android device.

The only thing that bothers me is my primary system is Ubuntu linux and I have to have running virtual machine with Outlook to get a sync :(
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:
Does it only sync 1 month at a time ?

I only have appointments to 30. april. An appointment on 2. may is not synced to Android.

I read somewhere about 45 days ahead ?
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
Well, not exactly. It sets minimal date about 2 weeks behind current date. Then removes all older appointments and moves start of recurrent appointments to be after this date. This limitation is there because of how android calendar provider calculates recurrent events. Syncroid does not set any limitation in future dates. If you don't see appointments after some date ahead, it is android limitation.
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:
So, if I understand this correctly, the XML file pushed to the android device (should) contain all the appointments in the Outlook calendar ?

And then the android calendar imports what it can ?

If so, there is something wrong on my end, as I analyzed the XML file, and it does only contain appointments to 30. april.

I also checked the log file, and it says it finds 888 calendar entries, but only 18 is in the XML file.

However there is no errors in the log file.

Is there any way to make the log file more detailed ?

I will look at it again on thuesday, when Im back at work, maybe it imports some of the appointment in May then.

Thanks so far.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
Yes you are right! I did put artificial limitation in order to prevent too many appointment scheduled in too far future (my work calendar is quite big). Right now appointments which end 7 days before current date are not synced. Also if an appointment starts 30 days after current date (be it recurrent or not), it is not synced. I believe such a limitation should exist. However it might be good to extend it. I'll do some tests. I'm also thinking about making this an option which is an easy choice, but I'm trying to keep UI as simple as possible and prefer to avoid it.
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:
I just synced and now I get appointments to 3. may, so program is working as designed :)

However, an option to extend the syncing days would be very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:
I have discovered another problem.

I am normally GMT+1, but now we have summer time, so we are actually GMT+2, though the timezone is still GMT+1.

When I sync my appointments they are one hour ahead on the Android.

I fixed that by setting the "Additional time offset in minutes" on the PC to "-60"

But then my all day events is shown one day to early.

For example an all day event on friday is shown on thuesday.
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
Wow, thank you for discovering this! I'll do my best to fix it in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] WePlay:

I know you are not using VB.NET, but just want to say that .startUTC is only available when using Outlook 2007 and forward.

Im using Outlook 2003.

But it seems that all day events need different time handling than ordinary events.
[Android Apps and Games] Skyravr:
Hi,

i've been using this program for a while and well, its great. I even told some collegues about it and they love it too.

BUT, one of them has an issue.

When we install the program everything is fine, syncing to phone works too, but what won't work is the importing from the file on the phone. It gives an error.

We looked at the preferences and we found out that his profile has 2 options: default and BACKUP default while me and the other colleagues have 'outlook' as profile. Might this be the problem?

We are at work so all the pc configurations are the same.

His android version is 2.1

What might be the issue or solution?

thx,

Skyravr
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:
I have the same profiles (default and "backup of default"). You should not use the backup version as it is often empty. This can be changed from Outlook tab of PC part (change it and press save). You could also try deleting all from syncroid folder on the android phone and try again. The result is a file \syncroid\pc.zip on the phone. It should be valid and contain a valid xml file. You could open it and check it.

Sync problem

I'm really thankful for this program. I have no admin rights on my office PC so I was desperate in my effort to install good sync software for Outlook and my android.

Syncroid looks very good. It installs without problem in PC and in phone too. As I do not have even rights for adb I have to use USB connection.

But there is probably some problem. When I tried to do first sync the program was processing data longer time but no sync was really done. Now it seems that every sync is done in almost no time by I still have no file PC.zip on my SD card.

In the log there is error connected with logging into outlook profile but I am not sure if this is a root cause

See attached file for full log.

When I restarted the program and outlook then it seemed to work fine. But during sync the program crashed. I was not able to send the crash report directly from program. So I have attached this file too.

I hope that there is only minor glitch or that I am doing something wrong, beacause if it will work then it will some all my troubles with the calendar sync
[Android Apps and Games] demosten:

Current status

Dear all,

Sorry about my prolonged silence. As you've probably guessed the project is "on hold".

I did further development. In fact two way sync is about 70% ready. Then I've found something disturbing. The ultimate goal is for Syncroid to have two versions, the current one with some extra features for free and a paid one. However making it paid on Android market proved to be not possible as Google Merchant does not support my country. It supports around 25 countries to sell from and Bulgaria (it's part of EU in case you are wondering) is not one of them. Since this is the only option for selling apps on Android Market I've decided to put this project and several others Android related on hold. Though Android is still my favorite for personal use, I'm developing mostly for iOS now which does not have such market limitations.

P.S. I do have ICS on one of my phones. I'll find time to check it. I do like this project.

Hello there,

First of all thanks a lot for this app, which is the only one that allows me to sync my agenda at work since I don't have admin rights...

However, I am facing the time zone problem mentionned a couple of pages back (due to the daylight saving time...) which causes all my appointments to be one hour late on the phone.

Is there any workaround ? If not, is there an alternative to Syncroid that would do the trick ? I love the simplicity of the software, but this bug is kind of a showstopper.

Thanks!

Problem with Syncroid

Hello !

I am very interesting to use Syncroid to synchronize my Ooutlook 2007 (business) with my Android device (Sony Xperia Ray) by USB. It is a great solution and it seems simple.

I have installed the Syncroid on the Android device and on the PC. Installation was fine: no issue. I started with one export on the phone (Last export on status is the right date/time). I launched the synchro on the PC; in the PC log file, it seems that everything is Ok, and the message on the desktop was Ok. But nothing on the phone: I have these messages:

- when I activate "Import now" on the Android device I have the message : "Error importing calendar data - Error getting calendar with name: 'my outlook calendar name' " ; the last import on status is still "none".

- when I activate "Manage calendars", the Application Syncroid is stopped.

I removed the application on the PC and on the Android device, and and I installed again the both: same behavior.

Do you have an idea how to solve this issue ? Perhaps I missed something, but I respected the procedure described.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

I have downloaded the app and it seems great (no install, works with no administrative priviliges etc.) but it keeps crashing all the time.

I would love to pay for that, unfortunately it seems the author resigned to work on the project as it could not be sold via Play store.

Maybe the situation have changed and it's now possible? Could you please try and come back to work on that project. PLEASE? :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipractice:
For the last few days I have been having an issue with my evo where I am not receiving any calls or text messages. I also cannot send out texts. The only thing I can do is make calls out, and text within my own family plan. I am also able to access 3g mobile network.

This started happening after a representative asked me to enter the follow codes into my phone to remove call forwarding:

*38

*730

*740

I have tried to look up references to these codes, ask employees about them, but no one seems to know what they do. I'm thinking that it enabled automatic call to voicemail. But when people call me they get an error message that says my number is invalid.

After calling Sprint customer support repeatedly for days, they continue to tell me its a network issue. I have opened two tickets, neither have resolved the issue with advanced technical support, and it's been almost a week now.

Sprint basically said there is no option but to -possibly- (like all the other stupid things they told me might fix the issue) change my number. But basically, they can't do anything at this point and they're forcing me to change my number permanently.

Does anyone know what might be going on or have an idea? yes my phone is rooted and I use custom roms, radios, etc. But I doubt my radio is broken because of it or that it's a software/hardware issue. It seems to be very much a network issue. Any clues?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Unacceptable. They should be paying for this months service. Don't change your number! Keep calling until you get someone who is knowledgeable.

Can you disable forwarding? Have you asked them? Ask them if they can do a whole reset on the network.

Alright right now I'm running Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8

HUGE problem I always seem to do even when being careful.

When I get a call slide up to forward and down to answer always forwards when taking it out of my pocket (since I have my screen faced towards my leg just so if anything hits my leg the back of the phone takes the beating instead of the screen)

Anyone else forward calls or answer them unintentionally?

Pretty annoying.
