Hi All,
I am trying to set up the Exchange sync but I only want to sync contacts and calendar without email.
Is this possible?
Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Kinda. Only solution i believe is to set ur sync to never push emails jsut always manually pull. Only suggestion i can think of.

Since I updated to the official 4.0.4 I constantly get contacts and calendar items duplicated. Do you guys have this? Is there a possibility to wipe just the calendar and contacts and resync? Just taking the tickboxes out and putting them back.in the account settings doesn't cut it.

may be the contacts are in your sim too.
Hi
You're not using multiple computers to sync by any chance? Further, if the information comes from Exchange Server, don't bother as you will never get it straight. I've tried everything to sync with Outlook and gave up, MS and Android just don't match

I found a solution. First export exchange contacts to your ext usb and then open outlook and delete exchange contacts. When you delete from your pc your phone contacts will be deleted. Finally import the contacts from your ext usb and sync with your exchange. 2 days left nomore dublicated contacts.

I found a solution. Just flashed Crash ROM v8 based on LRK and problem solved no more duplicate contacts nor calendar items. I am happy again! 4 days now and everything is perfect
Check this thread for solution. Apparently an update to gmail app solves it!

having the same issue contacts creating one additional copy each time it syncs. I have 7 copies of each contact. although you can select show contacts having number only will display only required contacts.
Hey
I know it may be dumb to ask but is their a need to sync Facebook or social media apps with your phone? I'm Abit confused of the benefits? I have Google contacts synced to phone which i think will sync my new contacts so I'm fine with that but everything else is it really useful or is it better to have them auto sync turned off for battery life...
Cheers

I dont turn on my sync still i get the update in facebook, google mail, apps, and yahoo mail. I dont know what is the purpose of sync?
Its better to turn it off for added battery life.
That's what I'm thinking but I'm scarred to turn off Google as I want my phone contacts always backed up. That's the only one I have synced at the moment.

yep when checking settings in email and accounts I think there are options there. At least for Exchange mail. Gmail its already push, dont think you can change it.
Always just check every setting within app as wel, Facebook has push for direct messages I think.
synch is old school, poll server, updates found download, repeat proces every few minutes
push, not entirely like blackberry but close, servers sees email and sends it to phone to download. Hence push.

Basically I sync all my contacts and photos with my google account so it will never be deleted unless I do
Syncing is to exchange the things between two accounts EG. Contacts & Google and if you lose the things on one account you can recover from the other account you synced by enabling the sync option again or you can delete on other also by syncing again
Its up to you
Hey
Thanx everyone for the advice. I think having Google contacts is a must just incase I add new contacts etc and I've synced my dropbox But apps like Facebook and whatsapp and twitter are so not needed so I've taken them all off. I can't understand why anyone would want to sync twitter or whatsapp lol just ludacris.
Cheers
