Motorola Droid Razr HD :: Syncing Tasks And Note To Outlook?
Dec 26, 2012
I was surprised to find that the Droid Razr HD does not have a Tasks To Do or Notes app that corresponds to the Microsoft Outlook. I'm looking for reliable Apps for the phone that will sync with Outlook on my PC. I do not want to leave my private information in a cloud where some 14-year-old hacker can get at it. I want to sync with a cord just as I am doing now between Outlook and Droid pre-installed apps. I do that now with "AndroidSync" but there's nothing to sync those other two catgories with yet. Any advice on apps that do those chores and sync directly to the PC?
I have a new Razr Maxx and my email and calendar are syncing with my office Outlook account, but I can't get the contacts to sync. They were loaded originally (at the Verizon Wireless store) off of my old phone, but they will not sync.
? downloaded Remember the Milk...but that really is not what I need.
I want to be able to voice record or type in notes, to remind myself of things I need to do. Would love if could sync with Google calendar, also an online progam association with the phone app.
This bug is tied to the use of the Tasks app when syncing tasks with my Corporate Sync account. On the PC side, our company uses Outlook 2007 SP3, and the Exchange server version is 14.1.355.4001.This phone is on System version: 6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US The bug is that the Snoozing of notifications is not being sync'd between the PC and the Maxx.Steps to reproduce, scenario A (Snooze action performed on PC):
1) Create task with a reminder in the future. Example --> Start: 11/8/2012, Due: 11/8/2012, Reminder: 11/8/2012 11:45AM
2) Await Reminder Notification on both the PC and Maxx (ie, ensuring newly generated task has sync'd out successfully)
3) On the PC, snooze the reminder
4) Wait a while, note Snooze is not sync'd to Maxx regardless of wait duration
Steps to reproduce, scenario B (Snooze action performed on Maxx):
1) Create task with a reminder in the future. Example --> Start: 11/8/2012, Due: 11/8/2012, Reminder: 11/8/2012 12:15PM
2) Await Reminder Notification on both the PC and Maxx (ie, ensuring newly generated task has sync'd out successfully)
3) On the Maxx, snooze the reminder
4) Wait a while, note Snooze is not sync'd to the PC regardless of wait duration The tasks app is a good one, hope to help iron out remaining tidbits to make it even better.
Just got a 9700 to help re work but when syncing with Outlook 2002 the tasks do not appear under any categories. Is there a way of doing this, or is there an App that lets me?
The Verizon Sales assistant assured me that I'd be able to Sync my Outlook with my Droid Razr as easily as I synced it with my old Blackberry Tour. Now, after several days' worth of set-up, google searches, forum searches and FAQ's, I'm come to the conclusion that Motorola did NOT build this function into the Droid Razr, and I have to pay a hefty fee for a decent 3rd-party app to do what my Blackberry did for free. Have I missed something?
Droid Razr M - Verizon I have 2 Razr M's on different Google accounts and neither of them will sync birthdays from my Google Calendar. All the other calendars work fine (US Holidays, Week Numbers, etc.) I have tried the following with no results:Removing Contacts Birthday and Events from Google Calendar and reinstalling it.uninstalling & reinstalling Birthdays on the Razr M Removing syncing & re-syncing Birthdays on the Razr M Clearing the Partition on the Razr M Factory data reset on the Razr M Several different 3rd party calendars Talking with Motorola Tier 2 support several times?
Is there an easy way to sync Outlook contacts and calendar without Exchange? This is the only problem I have encountered with my new Bionic. The calendar synced, but I have lost my categories, etc. The contacts synched, but I seem to have three of everything (???). Is there a way to delete all the contacts on the phone and start over? I find it hard to believe someone has not come up with an App to make a direct USB sync with the PC, given the Extensive use of Outlook...
Well the last week or so I have noticed that my email account is not syncing with my Razr Maxx HD - It is an outlook account - it also does the same thing with my Yahoo account as well I tried looking in settings for sync frequency but there is not option to set - I know on previouse phones there has been option for it but not this one.. Other than deleting the account and re-doing it or restoring the phone, because those two dont work.
I have a razr maxx hd and ever since I did the jellybean update, my corporate email will synch correctly for a few hours and then stop synching. This may last for couple of hours or all day. I have deleted the account several times and also have done a FDR
I have a RAZR M. I synced my outlook contact list into Deja Contacts, but the phone does not "see" the deja contact list, so when I receive a call, the callers name does not come up, as it would if the information were in the native contact list. How can I get the native contact list populated?
My corporate account (Exchange/Activesync server) hasn't synced since the update was installed Saturday, June 30th. It was syncing fine pre-ICS, however, post-ICS nothing. The screenshot reflects the message I receive when attempting to set up the account on the phone.
In troubleshooting, I have tried removing the account (only initially following the upgrade, account will not complete set up since) and adding it again.
Also, all other email accounts (gmail, earthlink, hotmail, yahoo) are connecting fine, only having problems with the Corporate account. Additionally, I need this to work more for the calendar sync than the email, especially since I separate my work/personal calendars via this account, Google, and personal version of Outlook.
I have a razr maxx hd and ever since I did the jellybean update, my corporate email will synch correctly for a few hours and then stop synching. This may last for couple of hours or all day. I have deleted the account several times and also have done a FDR. I am still having the same problem. The coporate email is one of the main functions that I use my phone for, so its very important that it works correctly. I have tried it off WIFI and on WIFI with the same issues. It just periodically loses connection with the server and gives error message that says "Couldn't find connection to server". Like I said, this may last for only couple of hours or most of the day and then it just starts working again.
My Razr's calendar stopped syncing to my gmail calendars. Gmail account settings all say to sync everything. The only calendar offered for a new appointment is "phone storage. Only calendar that shows in Calendar settings is "phone storage".
Maybe I just noticed this, by my calendar won't show contacts birthdays. I've double checked that I'm syncing everything correctly. I've tried clearing Calendar data and Calendar Storage data, still no luck.
My phone doesn't consistently sync, even though I have push email enabled. Happens when I'm both connected to wifi and on 4G/3G. When it's not syncing, mail doesn't even sync when I open the app; I have to manually do it. Completely unacceptable, never had this problem on any other smartphone I've owned (which have all been HTCs). Maybe this is helpful, but the gmail widget and the email widget also do not consistently sync on my device. Maybe there's a trend here that points to a larger problem or solution. But I' m not worried about the widgets; I just want to be able to get my email onto my device, which should be happening with no issues.
I just bought a new RAZR XT910 and I'm starting to get a really uneasy feeling that I'm not going to be able to sync it with my Outlook calendaring and scheduling like I used to do with my old Nokia E63.
I was working under the assumption that there would be hundreds of apps on the new Android phones that would be able to do simple things like this? so far I haven't really found anything?
I found Motorola PC Suite 5.1 but I haven't downloaded and tried it yet ... has anyone used this software or can anyone advise some other application that will sync Calendering, scheduling, contacts etc with Outlook and with Lotus Notes?
I need to sync outlook for work , but I'd also like to sync with Lotus Notes at home if possible (far superior to Outlook)
By the way, synchronising with google or having a gmail account is NOT an option, I do not trust these people and besides, I don't need another email account, I already have one at work and one at home.
I'm able to search emails on my Droid 4 by clicking the magnifying glass but am not able to do the same with email tasks. I have hundreds of these things are they're difficult to manually look through.
Under the account settings for Tasks, I only have one option:Phone Task: Not synced, visible/invisible I am not clear how to sync this period. In addition, I would like clarification on what it syncs to.
I have the tasks widget on one of my homescreens and it would be great if it worked properly. Anything I create a tasks, it doesn't show up in the widget unless I go to the widget settings and change which tasks are viewed (I normally leave it on all tasks). If I complete a tasks and it was in the widget, it's not removed from the widget unless I manually refresh it. If I try to delete the widget, the tasks process force closes.I can create tasks and get reminders and everything just fine, but they just don't show up in the widget properly.
I use outlook 2007 (No exchange server), that includes tasks and all day events. Android doesn't support tasks and all day event reminders don't work .
I've been a long term BB user and loved the fact I could connect BB to laptop and everything would sync automatically.
I've installed Kies with no problems and sync'd everything but there is no option to sync MS Office Tasks. Is this for real? Surely there has to be a way for Kies to sync Office tasks in this so called smart phone?
The Verizon sales rep in the store tells me I can access my calendar and tasks wireless at my work without the BES by purchasing the $45 data plan. The Customer Service Rep on the phone tells me I must have the BES to access my calendar and tasks wireless. My first blackberry gets delivered today.
When I sync my Tasks with Outlook (BB 9810 and Desktop 7.0), I get conflicts on my Due Date.I think it's because my BB has Date + Time, but Outlook only has the Date.What can I do to fix this?
OVI does copy outlook address and Note fields on its base (and on the Nokia base), but NOT onto the mobile although Memory size is big enough (see later). Sync message is "success". I restarted from scratch to avoid all conflicts (Phone, Ovi and Nokia internet base totally emptied). Sync works OK and copies outlook contacts fully on its own base, but address fields are not copied onto the mobile (Telephone connected via USB)
The only way I found to get them onboard was to copy contacts (drag & drop) from Ovi onto the phone. Unfortunately, this causes all other fields (Phone numbers, E-mail) to be copied again as if they were additional fields and synchronization pushes all theese additional fields on Ovi Data base and Nokia data base. Finally I get a base not usable to be transferred on other phones. I suppose this is because Nokia software does not recognize Telephone 2 or address 2 outlook fields as such. It would be ok with me if I had a way to get all existing outlook address fieds being copied at the beginning. Thanks for any help
When i sync my blackberry to outlook all the tasks go into my phone as a time of 0:00 (midnight) Whereas my tasks all have proper times for them set in outlook? I have around 4000 tasks and this is really a major problem !Is there something i am doing or is this an issue that can be fixed?
Anyone who knows how to set up the X10 mini to synchronize calender, contacts, notes and tasks with outlook? Are not looking for the full integration with email, but a simple integration on a push/pull basis similar to the functionality available on SE PC suite for the older models using the USB cabel
