hi all i have just got a g1 drc92 with official 1.6 f/w, i have a bit of a strange question someone on here will probably find easy to answer,
my problem is i have imported all my contacts into Google mail online then synced with the phone, i have 100 contacts and all are in alphabetical order except the last 5 they just seem to be added at the end of the list? i basically have a - z all listed fine then at the end of the ones that are ok i have a George , and a john etc... just 5 contacts out of order.
i have tried deleting these contacts and adding them via the phone and still they just get added to the bottom? i have tried editing the contacts online then re-syncing and it still adds to the bottom of the list in the phone and on g-mail contacts online?
please help as this is really annoying.
hmmm, must be something different about those contacts... Can't really tell you unless you give us a more thorough description or a screenshot or something like that. I bet you it has something to do with the contacts themselves though.
Maybe the name was entered under business instead of the name field?
Check your gmail contacts and look to see what's different.
Hi
I managed to sort these contacts now, i had to save them to a csv file and edit it manualy in exel? strange! but sorted now!
Ive been trying to add contacts to my list in 2.1 for a few months now. 'Add contact' in the contacts list, input the info, press save, sorted. But then i scroll down my contacts to look for it only to find that its not actually there. I cant find any trace of it at all. Its very bizare.
All my contacts are synced with my googlemail account, and ive only managed to actually add contacts by going to my google account on my mac and adding them there.
I thought ide be fine after flashing froyo but im still having the same problem. So it must just be that im doing something wrong.
Anyone know what i can do?
Jim
My friend said he had the same issue, and I think he told me that he fixed it by adding in both a first and last name.
Hello
I tried to sync my contacts with facebook for android but in stock messages app my contact pictures doesnt shown.. In contacts everything are ok. I tried with samsung's sns and contact pictures are weird so i dont like it..
Anybody could help me ?
i tried with SyncPix doesnt work for me.
Why nobody helps ? (
Hey buddy try this,
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync make sure you've added a facebook account then click on "sync contacts". This should do everything you need. If not it could be an issue with the contacts not having facebooks linked with their number or something?
SyncMyPix is a great app that I use to syns the pictures between facebook contacts and phone contacts.

You have to make sure that the contacts names are typed exactly or very close to their facebook name, or go through one by one and manually connect them yourself.
Hope that helps

Hello
Pictures shown in contacts but not in messages..
ok this may be worth a shot
go to contacts. first thing, make sure you link that contact's different account icons like facebook/google/sim/card info for the same contact must be linked/merged
After that, enter the contact, hit Options - Mark As Default and select the picture you want
i'm sorry, i'm not 100% if this will solve your problem, but if you haven't tried it already it might help.
Searched all through the One forum without success so I am thinking I have a bad HTC One.
I am trying to Sync MS Outlook contacts to the One.
Downloaded the HTC Sync manager and followed the instructions, no go.
Spent over 1 hour with HTC support this morning and result is that I should turn on "usb debugging" and re- install HTC Sync Manager.
Managed to turn on "USB Debugging" but still no sync of contacts.
This cannot be a known issue as there are no posts on this forum about this so has anyone out there got any suggestions?
My old HTC Touch HD2 is now too far gone so I do need to resolve this even if it means "backing" the HTC One and choosing another phone.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Regards to all.
I think you are trying to hard
for me, I added my email address using the Exchange active sync option and the contacts all dropped in.......
Is your screen locked when trying to sync?
Do other things sync?
Are you saving your contacts locally in outlook? or are they synced via and online account?
Which version of office are you using?
I'm installing office now to see if I can sync contacts.

I was just able to successfully sync a contact from outlook to the htc one. I had trouble getting the sync manager to recognize my device but after that it was a breeze. I don't mind helping you. Does the sync manager recognize your device?

I do not know what is going wrong with my phone.
I am using Win7 OS with Office 2010, bog standard single user setup, Outlook is default for everything.
I got a follow up from very helpful HTC support.
Basically uninstalled evrything, deleted all HTC from Hard Drive, Hard Reset to phone and re-install everything with Kaspersky turned off.
Same result, HTC Sync loads and sets up OK, Phone connects OK, USB Debugging is ON, Sync Outlook Contacts and it zooms from 1% to 100% in seconds and nothing appears on phone.
Everything goes like clockwork except no transfer of sync for Contacts, Calendar or Bookmarks.
Maybe I am looking in the wrong place?
I go to "People" and look for my contacts there, is that correct?
Should I be configuring anything else?
Thanks for your attention, it is really appreciated.
Best Regards

Maybe I am 'trying too hard', but if it's not working I really do not know any other route other than to try harder.
Get what I mean?

To find my contact I went to The dialer swiped right to "contacts" and the contact was listed there. Be sure to check in the upper left corner that the all the sources in the phone book are checked.
In the HTC sync manager Try turning off sync for everything accept for "People". Then click settings and change the "Sync all contacts from" option to outlook. Then sync. Then afterwards try searching for the contact and let me know what happens.

Well that did the trick!
When you suggested that I only sync "People" I was about to reply and say I cannot select what to sync when I noticed that some Goon had not ticked any of the boxes..... errr.. hmmm.. well lets not dwell on this.
In my (weak) defence I thought the boxes were "greyed out" and never even tried to tick them. Cannot think of anything else to explain this other than being a complete nit-wit.
Ticked the box and everything worked as you knew it would.
Thanks for your help, very much appreciated, I will now go a sit in a dark cupboard for a few days.
Regards.
No worries, if you check some of my posts. I'm sure I've done some similar things.
I'm just glad I was able to help and you didn't get rid of your phone! Have a good one.
HTC syncing not obvious--thanks for your post

in response to the comment by "technoweary" apologizing that he/she missed selecting some options, I do not think it was obvious or intuitive at all how this works. I just followed the directions and got it to work (thanks to Kelbizzle(!)). In the "more" settings view, with 'people' 'calendar' 'bookmark' sections, there is a sync button at the bottom (two semicircular arrows chasing each other around), and you can click on that all day long and think it's doing something useful--what usability genius left it there, and also thought it better to force the user to click into the next screen ('people') and force the user to activate the sync there? But it isn't until you follow the directions that Kelbizzle provided, that it actually works. This is a very idiosyncratic issue with the HTC interface, and I, too, greatly appreciate the tip provided here.
I've spent several hours tonight trying to figure out how to sync both music and outlook to my phone, and you practically need a PhD and a lot of random clicks to get it to work. I actually had to install HTC sync manager from the HTC One before it would do any sync'ing at all.
