Anyway to sync thru usb to get data? Similar to active sync
try google sync in my signature. I know thats not usb but it will get you your contacts calendar etc..
USB
I'm also having issues with the USB connection.
Sometimes windows will recognize the USB connection, and it installs ADB drivers from google, but the adb.exe won't recognize it as an attached device.
Mount SD also doesn't work, but I think that's understandable, since Android is running from SD.
Has anyone done some work on running android from the internal flash? I imagine that's quite a bit more work involved...
Personally, I'd be happy getting ADB to work.

You can also use Microsoft Excel export to a CSV (comma seperated values) and then import that using your google account. Its really pretty easy.

It's awesome I'm so glad I found it.
Need help from the experts! I did a search on this forum for my issue and I haven't been able to find one.
I don't have Outlook on my PC. I hooked up my phone to my PC and I have Activesync 4.5. I had synced up the phone and all I did was transfer music from the PC to the phone. Now I don't have any contacts at all! I looked to see if it was on my SIM card and I don't see anything. I don't know where to look in Activesync for my contacts. Please HELP!

you may want to see if your contacts are listed in outlook express or another email client you may have on your PC. One of the options you may have done (i know cuz this has happened to me b-4) is this: when you first create an activesync partnership it will ask you 1.) if you want the items on your device to be replaced by the PC, 2.) if you want the items on the PC to be replaced by the phone or 3.) do you want to merge the items. If you picked option 1.) and didn't have any contacts in on your PC to be sync'ed then what will happen is ActiveSync will remove all of your contacts out of your phone to prepare for syncing of contacts from your PC, (even if there are no contacts on your PC). I'm afraid that unfortunately, unless your contacts have been stored somewhere else, (Like Outlook express, or an MSN e-mail account like hotmail) you're kinda out of luck.

Pretty much capped it right there. Good job.
How can I find out which way I went from the options you mentioned?
I don't think you can unfortunately. I would definitely delete the profice from your pc in activesync so that way if you do get your contacts back this wont happen again. The reason why i say this is because if you do this, you will be re-prompted select one of the 3 options mentioned above.Even if it's not option 1 that you selected. What's done is done and can't be undone. Meaning that even if you did see which option you selected and changed it to option 2 or 3, your contacts will not magically come back.

I have a similar problem. When I boot my PC (Windows 7 x64) everything is OK, and HTC Sync works like expected. But when my PC goes to sleep and then wakes up, I cannot connect again. It also happens when I several times disconnect HTC Desire from USB cable.
I also have problem with contacts synchronization with my Google App account. No contacts are synchronized at all.

I spent quite a while mucking around trying to find out why my contacts would not synchronize with my Google account.
Check what type your contacts are on your phone. Are they SIM contacts, Phone contacts or Google contacts?
On my phone, I had everything as Phone contacts. I discovered that only Google contacts will synchronize with your Google account. But all is not lost. You won't have to type in all your contact details again.
What you do is to create Google contacts that duplicate each of your phone contacts. Just create each Google contact on your phone as an empty contact (i.e. no details) with the same name as each existing phone contact. When you see them in your contacts list, they will appear as two contacts at this stage.
Then edit either one of the two contacts. You can link each contact with another contact. If you've use the same name for your Phone and Google contacts it will already be suggesting that these can be linked together. Do so.
You will find your two contacts now appear as one in your contact list. And these linked contacts will now synchronize with your Google account contacts and carry all the details from your original Phone contact with it.
Hope this helps.
i've got by htc desire synching w/ work exchange account and googlemail contacts (ie no data on phone itself). when connected to facebook, it would only synch about 5 of the googlemail contacts, although exchange seemed to be fine.
i cleared out all the data, deleting the synch accounts and tried again. all contacts were downloaded, until... i resynched w/ facebook which removed all the googlemail contact except the same 5 or so.
i'm guessing there's some kind of data conflict, but any idea how to fix it? i kinda like having my contacts hooked up with their facebook profiles, so a fix would be good.
cheers

i have the same problem.
i have installed the HTC Sync from SD card, uninstalled ActiveSync, installed driver and so on. HTC device is recognised in Windows XP x86, HTC Sync starts on Desire, but ends up with Synchronization status: Disconnected.
It's a serious issue for me, as i have used the Outlook Calendar synchronization daily in my office.
Curiously it synchronizes the Contacts well with my Windows7 x64 at home.
Hi,
there is a "Workaround for HTC Hero Sync Problem in Windows 7" which should also work for the Desire.
As I am new user I am not allowed to post links. So google what I have set into inverted commas and it should be the first result from mydigitallife.
Cheers

the Sync works in W7.
the Sync doesn't work in XP.
Phone Monitor recognizes the Desire in XP.
HTC Sync doesn't start sync wizard and says "Disconnected".
USB Debugging is turned "on" in Desire menu.
"Disk drive" option in HTC Sync 2.0.18 menu on Desire works well.
Phone is mounted as:
"Mass Storage Device" in Device Manager->USB Device Contrololers (driver version 5.1.2600.0 from Microsoft)
"MyHTC" in Device Manager->Android USB Devices (driver version 2.0.7.1 from HTC)
"HTC Android Phone USB Device" in Device Manager-> Disk Drives (driver version 5.1.2535.0 from Microsoft)
when choosing HTC Sync in desire after connecting the phone, it's installed and mounted as external drive.
Does anyone have a link where I can download the HTC Sync that comes on the SD card, I put it my own card when I received the phone so never checked the SD card for anything.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone tried to sync outlook contact with android. Is that easy to do ? Could we use the usb when in android mode?
Thanks.
Easiest to sync with Google - export your contacts from Outlook (to CSV) then import to Google. Any contact in the "My Contacts" section of Google syncs automatically. Works in WinMo as well, now you can sync your contacts between systems, and if you lose your phone you just put the info back in and bam wirelessly get all your contacts .
I could try to do that =). But I guess I'm wondering if we could use the usb in android mode to sync with like windows 7 or something? I"m not 100% comfortable having all my contacts in gmail in case I get hacked =P.

So you think your contacts are safer in Outlook if you 'get hacked'?
lol...
Not sure if that is possible, I've never tried... Perhaps someone has?
Yes - i also think that an Outlook running on my own machine is more secure than some Cloud-stuff i cant control/monitor/whatever
b2t: Outlook or Exchange? Exchange can directly sync with Android. If you are just using Outlook you could use SyncML-Tools like Funambol to keep contacts in sync.
Greetings,
I am about to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 after that option was suggested to me by DocHoliday77 to address a problem with my media player on my phone. After looking at the procedure for rooting using "Odin", I feel reasonably confident in attempting to root my phone. Before i take the plunge, I have a few questions:
1. Will a rooted phone still be detected by Samsung Kies?
I sync my files using Samsung Kies.
2. Will Odin work on Windows 8?
I am about to update to windows 8, so I would like to know if should root my phone before or after I update to "8"?
Thanks all in advance.

Stop. The only thing worse than Kies is iTunes. If you tell us what you are syncing, I'm sure we can provide a better way,

Don't see why it wouldn't, but I have no intention of ever "upgrading" to it, so am currently, and for the foreseeable future, unable to test this.
Also, Odin will not work with Kies running. Either you need to force it to stop, or better yet, ax it!
There is almost no one here who likes kies and uses it by choice! To each his own, but imo kies is a horrible piece of s...oftware!
I cannot attest to win 8 either. (My upgrade was to format Windows 8 and install Win 7!)
But Odin should work. Try using win7 compatibility mode if it gives you trouble. Id just do what you need to do before you move to 8 though.

I was never an apple fan so I am in your corner on that one. I have had very few issues with Kies. The primary items I sync with are:
Outlook Calendar and tasks,
Contacts,
podcast.
I would especially like to find a way to sync "S memo" (which I have to admit I have not found a way to do even with kies). I also will mention that kies did not back up my files and info, so I lost much of the fine details with my contacts and calendars (sucks trying to match the pictures with my contacts). I attribute that to most of my info being stored on my SD card instead of the internal memory of my phone. I am fortunate in that much of my info was stored on outlook and my Google account (as well as Advance Mobile care).

Opinions seem to vary with Win 8, but I am reasonably comfortable taking the plunge with that upgrade as well. I had a chance to play with 8 on some display models @ Micro center and Tiger Direct. I have been assured that any software running on 7 will work with 8. As far as I know, there is no compatibility mode in win 8. I was hoping that There is someone with some hands on using "Odin" on a Win 8 OS.
Thank you for your speedy response and input.
I'm not sure about a syncing tool that'll sync smemo. But ill look around.
For contacts, regardless of how you backup everything else, I find exporting to a .vcf is a wise thing to do. Importing the .vcf is just as easy.

Greetings DocHoliday77,
My win 7 was corrupted when I was downloading some files to the point that I had to format my Hard Drive, and reinstall Win 7. Unfortunately, the only copy of win 7 for my laptop was on a flash drive and the flies on that have been corrupted as well. My decision came down to another win 7 Ultimate, or Win 8. If I am not mistaken, 7 went through its share of growing pains as well. Right now I am using another copy of Win 7 home premium that has been activated on another PC. I have 30 day to activate it, so now i am down to about a week. As I have mentioned on a previous post, I don't think win 8 has a compatibility mode, but right I don't have any applications that need to be installed or running in compatibility mode. I was assured that anything that is running on 7 will work on 8.
I only run Kies when I want to sync information that I stored on my laptop, otherwise kies is not running. I would be interested in some alternative software that will sync my GS3 with outlook 2007, contacts, podcast, and especially S memo. I have not had the misfortunes that others have had using kies, but then again that maybe due to my using it only when I need to sync my phone.
I am probably going to do as you suggested and root my phone under Win 7, then install Win 8.
Thanks much for your quick response and input.

As far as syncing my contacts is concerned, I seem to be having good luck using outlook 2007. My info is also backed up on Advanced Mobile care as well. The drawback is that no pictures associated with the contacts are saved. I have saved some of my contacts using ".vcf" cards. Is there a way to save groups of contacts using vcf cards?
What is a good app to use to sync outlook to Google Calendar? Now that calendar sync has been changed, I am looking for an alternative, especially to sync outlook to Google. I am thinking about syncing outlook to google, then google to my phone.
Thanks much for your help so far...

You need to let Google do the work for you. You are doing everything manually.
Use Keep instead of S Memo (there are literally an uncountable number of apps like this that automatically sync), use the Google calendars instead of Outlook, merge all of your contacts into your Google account (should be an option in the Contacts app). As far as calendars, I'm not sure if there is an app that can directly transfer them, but a Google search could yield some answers.

Greetings Aerowinder,
Thank you for your input. My Phone Explorer is a very good Software Application to sync Outlook to my phone. The only problem is that it doesn't sync outlook task. What is nice about Outlook is that everything I needed is integrated into outlook. Google Sync was the one app that linked outlook to my google account. My phone explorer is very close in that it sync outlook to my phone, but doesn't sync outlook task. I could attach S memo to my task and/or Calendar for my SIII. I may (reluctantly) re install Kies so I will be able to sync all of Outlook to my phone. I am open to any suggestions to address my issues and request. Thank you for your request and suggestions to date.
Update:
I descovered that the app that I use to sync my phone to outlook (MyPhoneExplorer) does have task sync function. The task sync function is different from the task function that is intergrated into outlook. The task feature for "MyPhoneExplorer" behaves more like a pop up reminder that doesn't allow the option to edit from the phone. The task can be seen, but not accessed from the phone, and is not integrated into outlook. Any changes that need to be made to the task will have to be done from the PC.
