- I know Gmail tasks is brand new and just came out last week but I was wondering if there was a way that gmail tasks could sync with blackberry task manager. I know this works with Remember The Milk but I would much rather have it sync with Gmail Tasks instead. It would be an excellent add on for google if they could accomplish this. (Unless its already possible) Any help would be appreciated. Its annoying to write my tasks in my bb and then rewrite them in my gmail tasks as well.12-19-08 08:20 PMLike 0

WAY too many people having problems with this app to foul up my contacts list. I'm not even giving it a try. I decided to try Conjola thinking it would be cool, what harm could it do? It destroyed my contacts list on both ends!12-20-08 12:02 AMLike 0 - lol you read my post too quickly sadelb. I said DECENT...

Word is, the update helped a little, but I'm still not convinced.
There's too many problems with the process of syncing Contacts. Like what to do with the "other" fields, contacts with pictures associated. Last name/first name. Birthday field in BB/not in Google. It's messy. I wish there was a better way!12-20-08 12:08 AMLike 0 - I'm a google guy too. But so far I'm only comfortable using email and calendar to the BB.

They fixed that in 0.5.12, and the new version is 0.5.13. I waited until then to try contacts, for the very reason you cite, but by then they had fixed it and all went well for me. Of course I backed up my contacts, first.

Oh, and the contacts and alarms sync features can be turned off simply by clicking a check box. I kept contacts unchecked for a long time until I was sure they'd fixed it.12-20-08 09:54 AMLike 0 -
- Not yet but Google Tasks just got out of the lab days ago so maybe we'll see syncing soon. But then again you never know with Google. They're so inconsistent across their product lines.

Is it best to sync the first time from BB to google contacts?
Edit: forgot to ask - is sync for contacts 2-way?Last edited by whsbuss; 07-18-09 at 07:02 PM.

I'm extremely anal about formatting, etc. though. Most people can probably skip that step. I've not had a problem with Google sync since the version that came out in December of last year. It syncs daily without a single flaw that I've noticed.
I too would love to see tasks sync. I don't know why Google struggles with that so badly. They added tasks to GMail instead of GCal for some idiotic reason, and IMHO it's still a lame duck. I'd love to see it work the way tasks show up in Apple's iCal for example, and sync to the BB's task list as well as calendars and contacts do.07-19-09 03:32 AMLike 0 - I have played around with Google sync for a while. I had it set up to where My BB and Google were automatically syncing contacts and calendar, and at the same time i was running Google Calendar Sync on my desktop for automatically syncing Outlook with Google. On top of that i had my BB syncing directly to Outlook (yes i know its overkill, but i am anal about having all three being a perfect match so i can access my info from anywhere at any time). In the end i think that if someone can come up with a way to keep ALL fields (calendar, contacts, notes, and tasks) in sync with ONE app from my BB and Google i would walk away from Outlook. The reason i ditched the google sync method is because i hate having half my information in sync and manually managing the other half. as of right now outlook to BB is the best way i have found to keep everything organized. I will look into a third party app that will sync outlook to google.07-20-09 09:06 AMLike 0
- I installed the Google Calendar sync app hoping to sync what is already on my BB calendar to a new Google calendar (I never used to use it, but I hate Outlook). After the sync, it seems to only go Google --> BB, but not BB --> Google. I hope this makes sense... Any ideas what I am doing wrong?08-13-09 05:48 PMLike 0
