Tutorial: Google Sync for S60

by Mobile Jorge on August 11, 2009

Staying on topic with yesterday’s announcement of Google Sync and for your convenience here are the setup instructions for synchronizing your s60 smartphone via Google Sync and Mail for Exchange

To configure the Mail for Exchange application for Google Sync, follow these steps:

  1. Open the MfE folder on your phone and start the Mail for Exchange application.
  2. Select Yes when prompted to create a new Sync profile.

gsync1

Configure the profile with the following settings:

gsync2

Connection

  • Exchange Server: m. google.com
  • Secure Connection: Yes
  • Access Point: your carrier’s Internet access point
  • Sync while roaming: your preferred setting
  • Use default port: Yes

gysnc3

Credentials

  • Username: Your full Google email address, e.g. jon@gmail.com
  • Password: Your Google Account password
  • Domain: leave empty

* Sync schedule

  • Decide when you want synchronization to happen. Leaving this Always On will ensure your data is always current, but will also consume more battery than other settings.

gsync4

Calendar

  • Synchronize Calendar: Enable or disable
  • Sync Calendar back: your preference
  • Initial Sync: Decide if you want to keep existing Calendar events on your phone or replace them all with events synced from Google Calendar.

* Tasks

  • Synchronize Tasks: No (currently not supported by Google Sync)

* Contacts

  • Synchronize Contacts: Enable or Disable
  • Initial Sync: Decide if you want to keep existing Contacts on your phone or replace them all with contacts synced from Google.

* E-mail

  • Synchronize Email: No (currently not supported by Google Sync)
  • Share/Bookmark

    I already have a mail for exchange profile which syncs my company mail.
    is there any way I can create a new profile for google sync?
    It doesn't give me an option to create a new profile. I can only modify existing :(

    you should be able to setup a new profile in the Sync application which is native to all Symbian smartphone, I've had that setup before when I was on exchange and used google to sync my contacts and calendar, so you should be ok. Let me know :)

    using sync application i'm able to sync my contacts with google.
    but i don't know the settings for syncing my calendar using sync app.
    google hasn't provided settings for that :(
  • nokiatips
    yes, you have to use GooSync to sync all the calendars you want
  • nokiatips
    yes you can its the same just use the word calendar instead of contacts in the same spot you put contacts

    I've got this working with my E75 (though the directions are completely different since there's no MfE app and everything is done through Messaging). I've got my Contacts to sync already, but I just wanted to mention that the calendar sync only lets you sync your "main" Google Calendar. Unfortunately, in my case, the information I want to sync is on a separate calendar. :-(

    Sorry to hear that I know to sync multiple Google Calendars you'll need to sign up for Goosync Premium service, tutorial coming soon that :) thanks for chiming in.
