you seemed annoyed by my replies so much so that you can even assumed that i am a fanboy of google.
it is very dissapointing 2b accused of something that you're absolutely not. well, why do you have to make such conclusion (and a 100% wrong one too) in the first place also puzzled me. all i wanted to share is my experience with Microsoft Outlook for years and syncing using Symbian, WM and to Android devices. you did not mention ur data lost was caused by pc crashed. Based on ur postings, i assumed you have lost data due to sync problem not a pc crash and that the void in ur calendars r caused by less frequent sync available in Android.
for your info, i had a hard time syncing my Outlook with my desire once I opt for vanilla customs ROMs.
I even have to install 3rd party software to sync my Outlook to Google than from Goolge to my desire
I had a hard time finding those software too. Now, I have to sync from my notebook to Google than back to my phone.
so, why do i need 2b a google fanboy when i am having all these hassle with Google???
Google Android does not even have native direct sync support to Outlook, another negative factor of using Android phones.
If you are on non-sense custom ROMs, you can forget about using HTC Sync. It wouldn't work.
You will be wasting much time finding SYNC software and will be complaining more about Android which I did.
Only one or too 3rd party sync software are good enough to perform perfect sync to google.
Look, I just offered my simple advice: PC/Notebook to store the master copy of ur calendars/contacts/tasks while mobile as a temp device and sync as frequent as possible.
If my advice is of no use to you, then so sorry for wrong advice, & you can juz ignore it.
And if my tone sounds annoying to you, I offer my apology too.
Ok, no apology required
Sorry to have misread your intentions. But it did sound like, "There's no need to find a way to work around the system, just change your backup habits to follow the system" lol. Anyway, FYI I'm on AuraxTSense 7.7 and thus have had no problems syncing with HTC Sync 3.0, the only quirk being that calendar thing.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply. On that note, do indulge me. The thing is, with the way HTC Sync is set up, I'd have to backup my phone to PC (which I do anyway) almost daily, or if I want to be lazy, at least once a month, otherwise there will be missing entries. That's all that I was asking in one of my previous posts. One may argue that if I backed up all my old appts dating back to years ago, the phone would be a hog to use. The main reason that I want to keep a full copy on my phone is as a safety net in case my pc crashes again (and honestly, I didn't lose any contacts through syncing, it was all due to a crashed OS, which I didn't know back then how to backup the data from Outlook onto a separate drive). Luckily, thanks to Symbian I've managed to make a full backup of my old phone's data (calendar, contacts, notes, sms etc), so in case this Desire doesn't work out for me I can simply buy another Symbian and retrieve said data painlessly. It's just too bad I can't migrate painlessly to Android without having to backup my stuff to Big Brother Google, which incidentally is not liable for any loss data
There's a good reason that I need to keep those old entries alive, to keep tabs on work done which I haven't been paid yet (around 30k plus). Planning to take up a court case against that client. I've even got printed copies (lol) of those calendar entries just in case.
Peace out.
