Note: I posted this in the NewsGator Online Support and Requests forum. But this forum may be a better place.

I have seen discussions around this in the forum, but still can't figure it out.

Newsgator Go! works for me and syncs with FeedDemon without problem. But that requires my smartphone to make a connection to the Internet. I would like to use NewsGator Go! being 100% OFFline = no phone access to the Internet ** NEVER **.

My NewsGator Go! databse is on a MiniSD card on my phone. After closing NewsGator Go! on my phone, I eject the card and plug it to my PC. From FeedDemon, I went to "Manage Cache" and pointed to the MiniSD card folder.

But this does not work, it looks like FeedDemon cannot recognize the NewsGator Go! database and vice-versa.


So I am still scratching my head to find a way to synchronize the database between PC and phone without using the Internet. If the MiniSD card with the common database is plugged into the PC, then I want FeedDemon to handle it and synchronize the database (for example, display a folder called "MiniSD" in the feed bar, containing all feeds that are on the card). I also want FeedDemon to fetch newest feed items from the Internet and dump them into the database on the MiniSD card for later viewing on the phone. Note that I am not talking about Microsoft ActiveSync which is buggy and I never use anyway.

Do you think that such a thing is/will soon be possible?



Eventually, how about having 1 common database on a MiniSD card, being legible by both FeedDemon on the PC and NewsGator Go! on the phone? If the MiniSD card holding the database is on my PC, then I can open it with FeedDemon. If it is plugged into my phone, then I could open it with NewsGator Go! on my phone. That would be the easiest way to use it for me. All update via the Internet would be done by the PC, never by the phone.
I do not have conflict issues like "file changed on both phone and PC", because the database on the MiniSD card can only be plugged either into the PC or into the phone at once, never into both at the same time.

This is not possible. All of the feed and post states are managed and stored on our servers.
