[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
Some years back, Microsoft invested millions of dollars into Apple's development for the purpose of integration of MS software into Apple products. Google, on the other hand, would rather you keep using their "cloud" based stuff. If you really need seamless Outlook integration, get a WP7 phone. You should have done more research before committing to a Google OS.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DegoRed:
Google apps sync is $50/year & companionlink is $40.

I guess I am just screwed.

Thanks Xfoo for your input, I just never guessed that this was the case, assumed everything was pretty integrated these days.

Going to hold out for a week before I send this phone back, I think TMob has a 14 day return period, maybe HTC will pull a rabbit out of their hat by then and come up with some new software. The Tech Support guy kind of indicated that might happen due to the amount of people complaining.

Guess I never knew how good I had it with my year old iphone.

Who uses outlook?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mmarzex:
A lot of corporations and businesses still sadly use it.

And If you need perfect outlook sync go with windows mobile. Android isn't meant to be synced to outlook or anything like that. The only thing you are suppose to need to plug your phone into a computer for is to put stuff on the sd card or to charge it. Googled created android with the cloud in mind and for me and a lot of other people that works great. For people that need a phone for syncing to outlook get windows mobile plain and simple. I love the fact that I can go on any android phone type in my google account name and everything is synced, I have all my emails, my contacts, events, and app data. Android is a smartphone but it really isn't meant to be something that you should depend on for outlook. There are solutions out there but most of them are equal to you having to pay.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Outlook and the rest of the PCs with their local storage are increasingly going the way of the dinosaur. Everything will be in the cloud shortly. Google's impending OS is one big glorified web browser. I'm sure it will be very successful as are most other Google's products. Server admins will need to find a way for their colleagues to access the company's servers via secure web protocols.

So, to the OP, in order for this transformation to take place, there will be pains for those who rely on being tethered to a PC, but a more natural company to take the reigns of this business than Google I do not know. Google is almost entirely a web services company. So, naturally their mobile OS is going to be tied heavily to the cloud and not to native software running on a PC. While it is very much possible to sync and tether via 3rd party apps, many will find that what ships with their phone suffices to bring everything they need to the table in today's mobile environment.

Have you ever thought to sync all the data from outlook to a gmail account and use the gmail on your myTouch?

Exchange and all my other email took me 1.7 minutes of toilet time to setup.

If you like things to be already done for you... get the iPhone, because that's what it's about. You get things easy and limited. Dumbed down for the average consumer.

If you enjoy freedom, choice and a little DIY satisfaction... go Android.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmw407:
Exchange was really simple to set up. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up. Frankly it took longer to type in my strong password than it did for it to connect to the server.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidZ28:
Not sure what your issue is. I have never needed to plug my android phones into a computer, that is the beauty of android.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltronzero:
Why do you want outlook to sync when you plug it into your computer? This sounds backwards and silly to me. Just have it sync OTA. Al Gore didn't invent the internet so that you could post on forums whining about how you're the only person in the western hemisphere who has never seen a micro-usb cable before. He invented it so that you wouldn't have to use the cable at all.

So what I'm saying is either log into your exchange account with the Mail app and let it auto-sync the calendar. Or shell out for touchdown, which is a little more full featured.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl117:
Why would you want to do something that requires effort. Use Gmail, Yahoo mail, Exchange activesync, POP3, IMAP or any of the other wireless syncing services built into the phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trump:
nothing works automatically without any kind of configuration. Especially Iphones. Setting up ITunes sets up all the drivers for the IPhone. I remember when they first came out, it was a total pain to get it working properly.

BTW Why exactly are you wanting to sync with Outlook? All of your contacts are sync'd automatically via data plan.

The only problem is calender events between gmail and outlook. Google has a calender sync program that works pretty good.

I've synced the MT4G to my schools exchange server no problem. Mail, contacts, and calendar.

Never plugged it into a pc though.

Settings --> Accounts & sync --> Add account button --> Exchange activesync

You'll need to know a little info about the exchange server settings to get it to work, but it does work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokeycd:
I think you all are missing the main problem this guy is likely having. I have the same problem. I use outlook for my small business. The fact that the outlook calendar items can be linked to the outlook contact makes my work life smooth by a factor of 3. The problem is that i have 1500+ business contacts. If i export them to google, then they reside on google servers and my phone and sync nicely between the two. But if i add a contact to my phone later, it won't bounce back to outlook on my laptop. And if i add new contacts to outlook on my laptop, then i'll have to export them to google to get them to show up on my phone.

I have an android phone (HD2 running FROYO) for my personal cell phone, and I love it. I used to use a TP2 (HTC Rhodium) for my work phone, and just got the Glacier yesterday. Now i have to figure out how best to handle the outlook/google dilema. With the TP2, i could use MS Active Sync via bluetooth on the phone, and start Mobile Device Center on Vista or Win7. They would share info and everything was good.

I might try exporting contacts from outlook monthly to google to keep my phone up to date with phone numbers. i don't really need calendar or tasks that much. I'm also thinking about that pay software. I'll investigate further.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InGeNeTiCs:
How is this an issue? Sync your phone via microsoft exchange. End of story. And there aren't any problems syncing contacts. If you add a contact, the very first option is "contact type", which allows you to select where the contact is stored. I have two google apps accounts, a gmail, and a microsoft exchange account all syncing without any issues.

Plugging into a computer just to sync is years behind where technology is today. You shouldn't be syncing via outlook anyways. Rather Server>Outlook>Phone, you should be syncing Server>Phone. Cut out the middleman!!

If you have problems, PM me. I'll even send you my gtalk info and help you sort everything out. I'm a IT administrator with 10+ years of experience in my field.

If you haven't tried it already, download the HTC sync software from HTC's website. That may be what you're looking for.

As an aside, EVERY wireless provider charges extra for tethering. If you don't want to pay, root your phone and download wifi tether.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werk:
The problem is that you and the OP are still operating in the world of palm pilots and windows mobile devices. Wired sync of PIM data and email (bluetooth sync is just wired sync emulation) is just ancient history by now. You should really look at moving your Outlook data to a hosted Exchange service (Microsoft's is great and inexpensive and will be even better when Office 365 is out of beta) or you could even move it to a free Google Apps for domains account. Either will get you a centralized service with real push syncing of PIM data and email and the same content available on your phone, Outlook, and webmail. Honestly, the hassle of doing this is probably less than the hassle of trying to make a modern smartphone work with old tech.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokeycd:
I don't have an exchange server. I use 2007 office outlook. I guess i could look into a pay service to host things.

here's my issue. all my appointment items are contact linked to the outlook contact (and i built custom forms with a few custom fields). I can pull up any appointment in the past or future and click the contact right away and see all their information. this saves me countless amounts of time over the course of a year. Conversely, I can pull up the contact and click on the "activities tab" and see all the appointments that i have linked to that contact.

I know my situation is fairly unique. I just don't want to lose 7 years worth of calendar data. I'll see if HTC sync can be worked out. But most of the research in forums that I've done have said that it won't work at this moment in time. Things change though. right now i can't get google to accept my CSV file for import. That'll be my temporary work around when i get it to work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlean:
Here is part of the answer... this will sync at least the last seven years that you are worried about. As far as a sync I am not sure. My laptop is getting worked on and I only have express on this computer. When I get is back I will see how you can sync outlook. I am about 99.99% sure there is a way.

Also, I would just set this up...... It has a two way calendar sync. http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563

OR

try this. 50.00 a year...

After you set that up it will sync with your phone.

Comment Print If you'd like to migrate your events from another calendar service, click the name of the calendar you've been using. Below are instructions on how to import these events to Google Calendar from a few other calendar services.

Microsoft Outlook Calendar

Open Outlook and go to File > Import and Export > Export to a file.

Select Comma Separated Values (Windows).

Select the calendar you want to export, save it to your desired location, then click Finished. (Note: When exporting more than one year's worth of data, we recommend that you divide your calendar into multiple, one-year segments and export each file separately; otherwise, you may encounter errors.)

Select the desired date range of events to export, then click OK.

In Google Calendar, ensure that you've created the calendar that you'd like to migrate events to. Then, at the bottom of the calendar list on the left, click the Add down-arrow button and select Import Calendar.

Click Browse and select the appropriate file, then select Open.

From the drop-down menu, select the calendar to which you'd like to import events, then click Import to complete the import.

Note: The exported file doesn't support recurring Outlook events. Individual items will be created for recurring events that fall between the dates you've selected.

In fact, you can inverse all color of the screen, so you can see your films, your photos, play to your favorite games in negative effect.

For example, this is the screen with the button and the effect :

I searched on the xda Forum, but i found nothing, so i decided to create this request post.

I am on Vista and i have outlook 2010, but when i try to synchronisate my calendar ".ics" from my Outlook to my HD2, i have the "Error 8007000E".

The error number indicates : "Not enough storage is available to complete".

But i have not a lot of things on my HD2, so i think perhaps the .ics is too big.

It is a calendar for four month, and perhaps with the official rom of my operator, i have some problems.

Even if, with the official rom, every things on it have to work.

I remember the activeSync is for Windows XP, and Mobile Device Center is for Vista and Seven.

So i don't know how to synchronisate my ".ics" with my HD2.

I hope someone will help me and in the same time, help other person who have the same problem.

In fact, it is to use my phone with my mouse and my keyboard on my computer.

So i don't need to touch my phone directly, but when i use it, i can see on my computer and on my phone what i make.

But on my computer, when i make something, the phone screen lags on my computer.

I don't know the raison why, and how can i check it.

In addition, i did not find how can i turn the phone screen on my computer.

For example : If i want to play on a game in landscape on my phone, i see the portait mode on my computer.

I search an application, to have a shortcut to to do what i want.

For example : If for the moment i use a lot games, i want that when i touch the shortcut of this application, i go in the folder of my games.

And, if the next week i look a lot of te TV, hwen i touch the shortcut of this application, my TV application opens.

Because i have already my favorites applications, contacts, games or other things in shortcut, but some other application are my favorite just during a moment, a day, a weekend or a week.

So i will not create a shortcut everytime, i prefere to have just one shortcut, and edit it easily.

I hope someone will help me to find it, if this application exists.

And if it does not exist, i hope someone can create it, with for exemple a name like HD2 Personnal Button.

you shouldn't need a printer to set up just ZEEN. I know it forces you to dock ZEEN to printer, in that case, pull the menu down from the top, manually go into settings. Let me see if I can come up with documentation. I just did it and its working fine.
