[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I have my outlook 2007 calendar synced and it works great. There is a desktop client that you need to install called Google Calendar Sync (google it) and that will keep your outlook calendar synced with your gmail one. Once you get the two synced up, set up your calendar widget to display your gmail calendar and you should be good to go. You can add an event in outlook, gmail, or directly on your phone and it will be populated across all three automatically.

Ok my one question is this.. Say I set all my reminders through my computer outlook.. I shut down and leave the office.. Now I'm screwed right?

I should sync before I shut down my computer? I don't want my phone to sync every hour because it would kill battery I assume..

Or how does it work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I'm not entirely sure what the frequency that the client syncs with outlook is, but you can do it manually. Add your reminders, hit sync, then shut your laptop down. That client only syncs your outlook with your gmail so it's sync frequency will have no effect on your battery life. As long as you have your gmail account sent to sync on your phone, the new reminders should get pushed the same way contacts do. I really don't think that has a significant effect on your battery life either. Of course you can turn off all auto syncing and do it all manually but that would probably get annoying really quick.

Why mess with Google calendar sync at all? Why not just set up ActiveSync? I have mine set up to always sync, with no off peak time. Works fine, computer doesn't need to be on, and doesn't affect the battery at all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I've never even messed with active sync at all. I always thought you needed to connect your EVO to your computer to sync with it. How does it get the data from your outlook into your EVO?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
I am with you.. I also don't know how it gets the data..

I do like your way though..

I don't mind.. Everyday before I leave I just hit the sync button.. Even if I forget its not that big of a deal as the reminders are usually a few days out..

Still.. If active sync is better some how, I too want to know more about this..

THANKS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
You're looking at it wrong - your not sending data from outlook to your phone. When someone sends you an email or a meetingmaker or something like that, it doesn't go right to "outlook" - it goes to your exchange server which then sends the data elsewhere for you to access (like outlook). I don't know about you, but I can also access all of my corporate email through a web client also, outside of outlook - this works similarly. What activesync does is tells the exchange server to not only send your data to outlook, but also send it to the activesync account on your phone. Again, even though this is all in real time, this uses no battery (because of how it's set up, it's not continuously polling for new data) - and sometimes I even get my email on my phone before it appears in outlook. I have it synced with my exchange calandar and email 24/7, and have never had any battery issues with it - not even negligable battery usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Ok then... 2 things..

I don't really want my email to my phone.. Can I just get my calender reminders only using active sync?

The other thing.. How do I do this? LOL I used to do this with my old Touch, but its been years and totally forgot.. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
settings -> accounts & sync -> add account -> exchange Activesync

during the setup process (which is painless, but you may need to get some info from your IT group like server info) you'll choose what you want to sync to your phone. The options it gives you are email, contacts, and calandar. If you just want calandar, make sure that box is checked, and the other ones aren't.

actually, you may need to set it up first, then go back into

settings -> accounts & sync -> exchange Activesync to uncheck email and contacts, if you don't want it to sync everything. hope that helps

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
That I can't help you with. It's supposed to be the same, but that's not always the case. On my end, I had to get server and domain info that I'd never heard of before. Try to get your hands on some "setting up ActiveSync" documentation from your company, it shouldn't be too hard to find, and will have all the details you need to enter.

check the settings on the hosting end. you may have to give them a call to find out the information you need. i had to use the webmail login information to get it to work.

i use ExchangeActiveSync extensively. i get all my work emails as they arrive on the server and its pretty neat that it syncs my calendar as well. I have the HTC Agenda widget on one of the 7 screens, it pulls in my outlook calendar, google calendar and my facebook events. its pretty awesome!!!

How are you guys using ActiveSync with your Evo? :confused: Is this Microsoft's ActiveSync or something else? I used it for years with my Windows Mobile phones and would kill for the same functionality with Android.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
Fellas, just talk to your IT departments for the following basic info:

Domain name

Server name

You should obviously have your username and password already. ActiveSync is both a desktop application for old WinMo phones and a feature of Exchange. iPhones, Android phones, and a few others can sync with an Exchange mailbox by talking nice to ActiveSync running on your mail server.

HOWEVER, some Exchange admins retain tight control over what types of devices can sync with your mailbox, and some even require you to request sync to begin with. Mobile sync is turned off by default and must be enabled on your mailbox.

Buy your network admin a drink, he'll hook you up. I would ;-)

Something Seems to be weird when I try and upload photos to sites that can extract the GPS Coordinates from photos taken with my evo.

I am using a custom rom, but I have tried several different roms and I get the same problem, I even tried flasing to a stock rom... same problem.

If I click and show the map when viewing details from the phone, it shows correctly. But when I upload it to this website that I am working on, I always show up in china someplace, the same place everytime. I have tried other pictures that I know have correct geotag information on the site and they show up correctly.

Can someone test this site and see if your geotagged photos taken from your evo show up right?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvreeken:
I think I figured it out....

the plugin I am using is referencing longitude to E, as you can see in the iphone photo that was taken shows up properly....

the evo is taking pictures and referenceing longitude to W and I end up in china.

I figured this out because I tried putting a "-" sign in before longitude and then they show up properly...

My question is... do all phones reference longitude and latitude differently? and why?

are i-phone photos all referenced to E and android to W?

ANYONE?

[Gen8 General] gqkevyn:
Initially I made up my mind on getting the Archos 43, but Amazon has the iPod Touch 8GB on sale (sort of) for $215 plus a $15 Amazon gift card thingy. Has anyone used both before and prefer one to the other?

Basically I'm mainly using it as an MP3 players for work, but would like to be able to watch movies and play some games everyone once in awhile.
[Gen8 General] voidunknown:
I had a iTouch (3rd Gen) and switched to the Archos. The main reason is because I like Android so much better than iOS.
[Gen8 General] Techngro:
Honestly, you'll be able to do so much more with an Archos because of Android. I had an iPhone (basically the same as an iTouch). I had to jailbreak it to make it more functional. I don't think you'll have to do that with the Archos. And I think that all of the Gen8s are able to tether via bluetooth to your cell phone. I don't know if the iTouch can do that.

Not to mention that you won't have to pay for updates from Archos like iTouch users usually have to do. And especially when the gen8s get rooted and we stat getting some custom ROMs, just think of the fun you'll have.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Why don't you buy the Archos and try it. Most stores let you refund within 7 days or so. That should give you enough time to find out whether you like it or not. And of course you can go to an Apple store and play with the iTouch anytime you want.
[Gen8 General] gqkevyn:
Thanks for the input I'm leaning quite a bit towards the Archos, but not I'm just waiting patiently for a store to have them in stock. Can't find them anywhere online with them.

[Gen8 General] ArchosGamer:
Archos 43 vs Ipod Touch vs 70

What generation is the iPod you are considering? (That may play a factor in how worthwhile the Touch will be for you).

For MP3's there wouldn't be a significant difference, and I would advise you to get the cheaper of the two. However, since you say you'd like to watch movies on it I'd say go with the Archos since it supports (by far) a lot more video formats than the Ipod Touch. As for games it would depend on what type of games you want to play. The Touch has a capacitive screen while the 43 has a resistive screen. In other words the Touch will detect the use of multiple fingers at one time (which some games require) while the 43 is only able to register one touch at a time.

Videos and games were two areas that interested me too when considering what to get (Ipod Touch, Archos 43, or Archos 70). Ultimately I ended up getting the Archos 70 (even though its not as portable as the Touch or the 43) because it had the capacitive screen (useful for games and web browsing), and provides a better video viewing experience than the two smaller units.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
For all friends experiencing this issue here is my sum-up:

- HD2 (as I read somewhere) has slightly different resolution than what Android places on the screen (difference in 4 pixels I guess) - but this should not be the issue for normal operation right? Well, maybe yes maybe not.

- My screen went dead completely after using many ROMs but the longest I used was hyperdroid - again I don't think it is build related but hardware related issue.

- I sent back to Tmobile mine and got replacement - but until this one will work we will see...

Solution in USA: I have enrolled myself in extended warranty for $2/mo -- technically it covers the phone for as long as you have it (exclusions are of course liquid and physical damage) but anything else - covered. I even asked what happens if HD2 is discontinued and they said I would get comparable replacement of my choice. Therefore, I am covered.

NOTE: Tired tonight to do any updates - but Im gonna install back HD rom now and move on - push it really hard until it dies again ahahhahaha - cuz guess what? I don care - since im covered now...
