Contacts and calendar sync

Hi guys,
need some help.
i'm on Enomther Rogers ROM v1.8.2 and i'm syncing all my contacts and calendar with my exchange account from work. enomther didn't remove HTC Sync from his ROM and i'm trying to use it to sync my contacts with my laptop @home. The phone is connected, syncing is starting but everything ends quickly with 0 contacts and 0 calendar entries synced.
How can i do this without syncing my contacts to gmail and then back in the computer? don't wanna use gmail for contacts and calendar.
thanks

bump.
anyone?

[Q] How to Sync Phone Contacts

I've heard that if you had rooted/lagfixed your SGS, you cannot sync your phone contacts, is this true? Haven't installed Kies yet.
If this is true, can you please give me an alternative to sync my phone contacts with? I have Gmail and Yahoo Mail installed in my SGS, and YahooMail is syncd with my YahooMail contacts on phone, but not with contacts that is originally on the phone. I join contacts for them not to be redundant, and it's pretty annoying.
Is it okay to sync my Gmail contacts with YMail contacts then sync the GMail contacts with Phone Contacts????

not true
you can sync over the air contacts via Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail
and Outlook if you use KIES, or the WiFi Android Manager

Backup HD7 contacts to HOTMAIL

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?

Hotmail Contacts will not sync completly

Hi all,
i have a problem that not all my contatcs will be synced to my smartphone. Only 40 contacts from 125 will be synced from Hotmail to the Smartphone.
Mail and Calender work fine.
If i create a new conatct for Hotmail on the Smartphone i will get only Surename and Name is this normal?
If i create a new contact in Hotmail the contact will be synced.
If i delete the 40 Contacts on my phone the contact will be deleted in Hotmail.
If i export and import the contacts new in Hotmail nothing will be synced
If i change a contact in Hotmail the contact will not be synced
I saw in my datatriffic on my phone that the phone will try to sync 25MB trffic per day.
If i deactivate contact and calender sync (only Email Push) i use only 1,0 MB per day.
I try to find were the problem is. I capture the data traffic on the router but i saw only https traffic to microsoft
Can i log something on the smartphone?
I try the solution with the Contact Editor but it did not help.
If i do complete hardreset i have the same error. On Android 2.2 all worked fine the problem exists since 2.2.1 i thought thats a bug in 2.2.1 but in 2.3.3 the problem still exists.
Regards
John

I suffer the same issue on a totally different device. Microsoft is aware of it but since December didn't fix it.

I tried. Setting Hotmail as the very first contact sync service and adding Google account without contacts sync does't work around the issue.
