Calender Sync - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i want to export my calendar from my windows pc & outlook 2007 to my xperia tab without having to use google cloud NSA/GCHQ snooping software, is there any way to do this please?
i managed to sync contacts via sony's pc companion, which requested ring 0 level access to my pc, like WTF are sony trying to implement more snooping rootkits or what, sry i digress, yep so i DENIED sony snoopware ring zero & managed to sync contacts but the software does not include a workaround google for calenders unlike my samsung software.
is there any FREE way i can sync my phone to my tab or pc to my tab without google?

As i say i already have my outlook synced via samsungs kias software, using this, in the uk allows you to move outlook data without having to use the cloud unlike sony's data snooping offering, so is there any way to transfer the data from my samsung android phone directly to my xperia z tab, where is this data stored on the android device pls, and can i just copy paste it?

ok fixed, what i did was install iCal Import/Export 2.0 >> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.drlue.icalimportexport
exported on my samsung s3 & imported to my sony xperia z
i guess if you dont have a samsung, youre kinda out of luck but if anyone knows of any other work around, please post as there is thread after thread of people trying to do exactly what i have managed to do, without having to sync to google snooping cloud servers anyway!

Have a look at CalendarSync. Not sure about the free version, but the paid one allows you to create a calendar at your device itself. Works like a charm for me.
Sent from my SGP311 using XDA Premium HD app

To copy calendar data from one android device to another I often use myphoneexplorer available in the Google play.
>>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client&hl=de
It consists of to parts - a phone and a desktop app that can be synchronized. Also you can choose between different export formats.
Works perfectly every time.

Where does Color Note (app) sync to on Google?

Hey everyone,
I was just curious if you use color note?
And if you do, where does it sync with google?
My phone successfully syncs and all my notes appear, but when I go to my google account or my gmail, I can't find the notes anywhere.
I know you can back up to the SD card, but it's when I sync to google I can't find them there.
i'm wanna know too
somebody....
proprietary sync
It syncs to ColorNote's servers but only uses google to authenticate/log you in. You cannot access your notes online but they claim to be working on a desktop client.

Official information :
I signed up for online sync service with Google account (Facebook account). Are my notes be synced to Google (Facebook)?
ColorNote's online sync service is not synchronized with Google (Facebook). The Google (Facebook) account is used only for authentication when signing into ColorNote. This feature lets you avoid having to create and remember a separate ID/password just for ColorNote.
I signed up for online sync service. Can I access my notes from a PC?
Currently ColorNote online sync service supports only mobile devices. We are looking into developing a web service so that you can access notes online.
I changed devices. How can I restore the notes on the new device?
You can transfer notes saved on the previous device to the new device using SD card backup or Online sync service. In particular, online sync service is recommended. Choose one method from the following four methods depending on your situation.

And millions agree with you.
ColorNote is the Best Note taker in Android,
but even though C.Note has talked about coming up with a PC Sync since 4 years back
nothing has actually happened...
So keep hoping.
none of the above responses helps. i synchronized my colornotes online and i cant find them on my gmail (where i thought it was saved to). How practically will I get my notes back now, please i really have to get them back
Color note sync
Syncing with Google drive means that when you log into your Google account on a second !mobile device you will find color note on the second device contains all your entries.
What would like to know if Google can know the password you use as I didn't need to input it in to my second device.
I use a Nexus 7 and a Motoe. I can make an entry in either device hit sync a and it appears in the other device.
Cheers
Pain in the neck!
Was this issue ever resolved?
You'd think it wouldn't be This difficult trying to transfer my notes from my old phone (Galaxy s3) to my new one (s5)
Like the OP, I tried the sync thing with my Google acct & when I looked for it, I didn't find a thing.
I also tried:
-Bump/NFC beaming & it *did* transfer the CNote app but minus any of my actual notes.
-Evernote & all *that* did was negate my CNote app! As if I'd uninstalled it.
Closest I got was getting an SD card, backing up to that, then emailing that data to myself so I could download it to my laptop (pc) & eventually put into the CNote app on the new phone. But, of course, another dead end when I opened the file, all I saw was a bunch of insane gibberish. It apparently was in Word 97-2003 ."doc" format.
I'm thinking maybe the version of CNote I had on the old phone is different from the one on the new.
Someone here in this thread said CNote is "the Best Note taker in Android." Not sure I believe that. I *do* love its simplicity & clarity, but for the users like myself who are griping here, when it comes to doing what we need it to do- it sucks. And their customer service is basically non-existent.
I'm about ready to break down & just spend 30 minutes to an hour just emailing each one to myself.
Can someone suggest an equally simple, but FAR more flexible note taking app? Thanks!
If you copy the document (backup) you sent to your email and copy that via a USB cable into your mobile phone directory (storage/emulated/0/data/colornote) or phone/data/colornote as it is shown in windows structure. Than inside Colornote (Settings/ backup) you will be able to see this backup. Click on it and view you will see all your notes.
I don't see how you can restore it but that could be related that I don't have any changes between the current version and my backup.
Hope this helps

HEY.... For all of you who are concerned about the case: How to back up and restore data in ColorNote for Android?
The following explanation helped me:
The thing is what if you’re changing phones or transferring data from one device to another? You will definitely need to back up your phone data and that, of course, includes the data that you’ve saved using ColorNote. You need to have ColorNote app in the new device and get access to it via Online Sync, and automatically it restores all of you notes that were there in the old device.
Lost in Space
I have a question since I have no idea where my personnel information is going "SERVER" is there a way to delete your information from this so called server????
My nexus tablet was stolen and my notes are locked on my surface pro. How can I unlock them on the surface pro?
Windows 10 App for Color Note
If you have a PC with Windows 10 you can download a Color Note App for access on that computer.
Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my internal backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !
The fault is the mocosoft
THE QUESTION IS : WHERE ARE THE DATAAAAAAAAAAA ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer is : colornotes is Microsoft application ( in Spanish MOCOsoft sheet industry )
AND YOUR DATA IS IN MOCOSOFT ENTERPRISE ( of corse : very very and very protected )))

[Q] Synchronize my phone with my own cloud

Hi forum users,
I find it weird, but I cannot find any existing info on a feature I'm looking for.
All I'm trying to do is synchronize my calendar and contacts between different devices and my pc. But I have a few requirements.
I want to access in read-write mode my data from my devices (i.e I want to be able to create a new contact from my phone or from my laptop, and my contact list must be updated everywhere)
I DON'T want to use google services (google agenda, etc.), and I DON'T want my data to be hosted on a server that I don't own. Clearly said, I want to host my data by myself
I'm running an ubuntu laptop
I've stumbled upon solutions like Own Cloud and Funambol. Have anyone tested them? Will they do the trick? Any other solution?
Also, I've found a few posts asking for the same questions, but all are quite old, and none of them found a good answer.
Thank you for your help.
I can't believe I'm the only one with this kind of requirements?
I have tested ownCloud. Sync with some datafiles works, but i didn't manage to sync contacts and calendars. Owncloud on Android is even in alpha state. Maybe an own Groupware server like zaraffa is an option?

Owncloud is perfect but u have to buy some apps to get it full integrated in android...for calender for example
EVO Collaborator for Outlook
Zimbra,Sogo,OwnCloud etc.
Then sync this with Outlook. (if you cant it to sync try EVO Collaborator for Outlook, add-in for Outlook)
Which program you use depends on your preferences. I don't have experience with any of the other ones mentioned so far.

[Q] Should I switch from WM6.5 to Android ?

Hi all, I have a HTC HD2 which is running fine, but looking at Android, I reckon my phone could be even better.
Why do I use Windows Mobile ? Simple, I'm dependent on Outlook on my laptop. This is my work tool, and I cannot go without my email, tasks, calendar and contacts. No compromise. And I use pop3 with my own domain.
Now, the only thing that prevents me to switch over to Android is ActiveSync, or an equivalent, that would sync emails AND calendar AND contacts AND tasks.
As far as I know, that's not possible. I found various apps to sync calendar/contacts but NOT emails. Or vice versa.
Am I correct in this statement ?
And no, I do NOT want to sync over the cloud using Gmail (let alone an Exchange server which I can't afford). I want to keep it as it is : pop3 to and from Outlook, then sync via USB/Bluetooth.
If there's an app out there, bring it on !!!
Thanks.
Boags
I am ex winmo (4 phones ago) and think you will find it very hard to go no cloud.
The best solution I could then recommend would be to run a local mail server on your laptop and then sync over your wlan. You could do this using a receive only function on a nix based mail server.
Lot of effort... sorta like re-invemting the wheel.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Did you try apps from Google Play store like Maildroid or K-9 mail or Touchdown Exchange? I use maildroid and email syncs just perfectly. The stock email app can sync mail and calendar !
Looks like you're stuck with WM since there isn't an equivalent for Android or IOS. My first smartphone was a WM6 device and I wasn't impressed. Pocket IE is garbage, thank goodness for Opera Mobile and Mini. WM6's constant memory leaks meant rebooting my phone almost daily if I opened any apps. ActiveStink may be well and good for heavy Outlook users but for someone who just wants to transfer files to and from PC not having USB mass storage in WM6 was a BIG MINUS.
Here's the cherry on top - WM7 & WM8 phones will not be compatible with apps you purchased for WM6 so your phone is already obsolete.
I guess you can do as maskslash suggested or find another contact/task management tool on your that does the equivalent functions which also works with other smartphone OSes.
Or upgrade to WM8.
Otherwise your WM6 handset joins Symbian users - stranded on an desert island.
Well you have the best phone out there if you want to dual boot Android and WM. Android and others all rely on the cloud these days, there really isn't anything out there like Outlook/Activesync anymore.
Thanks for all your replies guys, you've confirmed what I thought. I'm actually looking into getting MsExchange somewhere, but it sux Outlook-USB-WM is no longer an option.
Cloud may be good for western countries etc but currently I live in Asia-Pacific in remote areas where Internet is at best 128k, when it works. POP3 and local sync is the only option for me.
Oh well I guess I'm a dinosaur then

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.

Xperia X series sync with Outlook

G'day from down under,
I have just upgraded from a Xperia Z1 which had PC Companion (full outlook sync functionality) but the Xperia X Performance only has Xperia Companion which only backs up. I have found 1 app (akrutosync) online that proposes to do a full sync (contacts / calendar / etc) but they charge $34.95 a year. MobileGo is only an import / export app, not a sync app so it's useless.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Exchange ActiveSync is supported on this phone. If you use Outlook.com, just open the stock email app and add your account - voila. Only thing I can't get working right are Tasks & Notes, but there's a great app from the Play Store (Tasks & Notes for MS Exchange) that does the trick.

I've used that software for syncing Outlook calendar with my Xperia smartphone before switching to iPhone 7. It works like a charm, the only bad thing was that you can't switch between syncing via Wi-Fi and over the Internet on the go. Just checked their website and these $35 is still a one-time payment. However, syncing through Outlook.com should be a good alternative if you're not okay with paying for 3-rd party software.

Hey everyone,
I found an app as suggested by a few on Sony Mobiles official forums where everyone was tearing Sony to shreds for ditching PC Companion's sync functionality & someone suggested MyPhoneExplorer. It's really damn good. It actually corrected some issues that PC Companion had created (anyone without a birthday automatically scored 1/1/1970 as their birthday upon the first ever sync when I got my Z1) and it has some quirks which I have overcome. All in all a great app.

It doesn't matter whether you have Office 365 or not... If you are using Outlook.com to send/receive email, the settings I provided will work.
Or change the server to m.outlook.com - it all works the same.

Hi,
I use Outlook 2016 too and also noticed that PC Companion from Sony does not sync your calendar, contact, notes, etc. It only backs it up. So I have made a long search how to sync my contacts, etc with Microsoft Outlook 2016. Well, the answer is simple, use a third party app for that called MyPhoneExplorer. You can download it from the App store for free. You also have to install the MyPhoneExplorer client on your PC. It works flawlessly, either by Wifi, bluetooth or USB. BTW, do not use PC Companion also for backing up your device, cause it does not work. I have had a crash with my Sony and tried to restore it with one of my six backups, none of them worked and all gave, sooner or later an error message. Use instead "Backup your Mobile", also availalble in the store and for free. This does the job properly and you can choose to place the backup either in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Orange Cloud.

You can download it from the App store for free. You also have to install the MyPhoneExplorer client on your PC. It works flawlessly, either by Wifi, bluetooth or USB. BTW, do not use PC Companion also for backing up your device, cause it does not work. I have had a crash with my Sony and tried to restore it with one of my six backups, none of them worked and all gave, sooner or later an error message. Use instead "Backup your Mobile", also availalble in the store and for free. This does the job properly and you can choose to place the backup either in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Orange Cloud.

I know, but just wanted to emphasize it, but the main part of my post is not to use PC Companion as your backup program,
