I have a question sorta related. I currently have gmail check my other pop accounts. It works pretty good. In the browser I can send mail again with any account using any account address as the sender. I mean I can choose which account to send it as. Not the gmail address. Is this possible with the gmail app on android?
I've read lots of issues with auto sync of Outlook calendar via EAS but is would seem that Sense devices don't have the issues that vanilla Android does and doesn't need a third party application to keep calendar in sync.
That's a good thing because I use Google for personal calendar/contacts/email and I use Exchange for work calendar/email/contacts. I love how WebOS keeps them all in the same place and same calendar view for easy reference.
I'm one of those ADHD people who really benefits from having a constantly updated copy of my calendar in my pocket at all times.
I love being able to enter an event in google calendar on the web and see it show up on my Pre, I'm glad Android is what it is and I will continuing doing it!
Exactly. I got used to that with Outlook and Windows Mobile but I didn't like keeping my personal stuff on my work Exchange account. Integrating Google and Exchange (and Facebook for that matter) made it seamless on WebOS. Hopefully I will be able to find at least a 3rd party app that will give me that kind of integration on Android as it's one thing I will really miss otherwise.
I'd love that to happen. Just like you, I'm so used to using Outlook and WinMo.
The only difference to me would be that I don't mind having my personal contacts or Calendar events on my work Outlook. I'm here 5 days a week and for more hours than I'm at home, so it's just convenient for me to update through work.
What I find great about Android is the OTA updates! So, from what I've been gathering, I can actually connect my Android device to my computer when I make updates on Outlook and then it'll update my Google stuff OTA. Win-win situation as far as I'm concerned. I just hope it's as easy as it seems it would be.
Why would you need to connect it to your computer? It should sync over the air with Google the same way WM syncs over the air with Exchange. The whole point is that you can add something to your calendar at your desk, go off and do something and have it automatically show up on your phone's calendar.
I actually have never done over the air updates with WinMo. I have a desktop cradle at work for my Touch Pro.
Is it not possible to do both (e.g. Sync with Outlook through cable and then OTA w/ google account)?
Dude, if you have a Windows Mobile phone and an Exchange server at work you are seriously missing one of the best things about your phone. I would get emails on my phone before they even hit Outlook and anything I added to my calendar or tasks while out on the road was always automatically updated on Outlook at my desk. It's the kind of thing Blackberry pays extra for and Google has added with Android. Cradles and all are great for charging but tying yourself to a wire is defeating the purpose
...and if you don't have Exchange at work then I'm sorry for teasing you
I don't use Exchange for work emails. It's only for Calendars/Contacts/Notes/Tasks.
Only Execs and IT/MIS at my company get to use Exchange to transfer emails to their phones.
What I do want to know is, even if I'm not permitted to use exchange to transfer emails, can I currently do that for Contacts/Calendar/Notes/Tasks? If so, please enlighten me on how exactly I can set that up because I wasn't aware that'd be possible.
the syncing isn't an issue for me. my problem is android doesn't allow you to view contacts by company...this is very annoying and time consuming
