Anyone knows why I can't sync my contacts with the build in HTC exchange application? Mails and calender work fine.
Contacts do sync correctly with a google-gmail-account instead of exchange-gmail-account. But if that works, that is another account less to sync.
Now i use google-gmail-account only for contacts.
And exchange-gmail-account for al the other stuff.
They are the same account!
I prefer exchange so I have all my pop/imap/exchange accounts in one interface instead of using the gmail applications. I also found that the push of exchange works faster than the push of google-account.
SOLVED
Apparently gmail through exchange only sync contact when they are in the group "My Contacts". You can select all your contacts and ad them to the groep in one single click at the gmail webpage.
The group "My Contacts" does not show up in the phone's address book as a feature. So you wont notice it on your phone.

How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display
hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?
Hi,
I'm using modaco FR15 default rom
I can add a exchange account, In my calendar I have my gmail account events, but not my exchange account events.
When I go to sync menu, I click on sync calendar, seems to work but no events show up on phone.
Which app should I replace for have it to work?
Thanks
no1 using exchange calendar ?
My exchange syncing works perfectly (apart from phone turning itself off! ). Sorry - were you sure to tick them, in the Exchange Account Sync settings (go into LG Email, into settings, choose the account, and then in "Sync item" make sure calendar is checked.
Edit: Sorry, I read too quickly that you're on FR15 - so you may not have LG Email app.
I have the same problems. I´ve decided to use TouchDown Exchange app. And it works fine. But one problem, it is not free :-(
But you can download trial version for 30 days.
One dummy question: where can i find type of my ROM?
Found the solution :
If you disabled the automatic synchronization (and then you want to synchronize only when you click on it (= doing it manually)) it won't work.
You have to let automatic synchronization and it works. I got my exchange + gmail calendars in the same time.
Good to know - thanks for letting us know. I guess you can always set the automatic sync period to 12 hours, if you want to protect your battery.
Well if I want to sync my Exchange Calender (Exchange Server 2003 Ent.) then the LG Mail Client (which syncs the Exchange mail) crashes on opening a mail).. Calender items do not get synchronized too. The little round sync arrows turn round but stop and then no sync??
Someone got a solution for that (except for buying an app??).
Hi guys

I know that is possible. But how.
Facebook is sinchronized.

Hi I have been setting up all my email accounts, etc. I did not have any issue setting up the email accounts, however; when I clicked on my Google calander it is only syncing gmail e-mail accounts. Not my work outlook or yahoo ?
Is there a way to get both the outlook at yahoo to combine with the gmail and have all events sync into one calender ? I rely heavily on my work computer calander and prefer it to be on my phone with everything else.`
if you use the outlook APP to set up your email it has a built in calendar got the outlook account, for Yahoo use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.caldav.yahoo

Hello,
I just migrated from Exchange to 365. I removed my account on my phone and added it back. The first time I selected Microsoft Exchange - it was set to sync mail, calendar & contacts. Since The contacts weren't syncing even though I clicked on the account and sync, I removed the account and added it back in. The contacts still won't sync. Email syncs fine. I can see the contacts in OWA and in my outlook profile. Any guess on what I'm doing wrong? Is there a way like on iphones to select your default contacts or view different contacts e.g. phone contacts vs. email account contacts?
