[Q] Contact sync vs Car Bluetooth - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Just got my N6 last week and so far it's best phone i've ever had.
Everything is working exept contact sync against my VW company car.
My Note 2 workes perfectly in the same car.
The problem is that it syncs every google contact but none of my exchange buisness contacts..
I can see who calls on the phone, but the car just shows the number.
Anyone have a sulotion for this?

Export your exchange contacts and import those in the google contacts.

Exporting is no solution since i want to keep them separate.
Found the solution.
Go in to the "contacs" app and select "contacts to display". Set up a choice here that includes google and exchange.
Weird that i had to do this both sets of contacts show up in the phone app.

export myphone contacts to google contacts?

hello, I'm switching from my beloved touch pro to the nexus one, but don't want to manually put all of my contacts to my new phone. is there a way for me to export all my contacts from windows myphone contacts to google and to the nexus. i tried just importing my contacts through my live account, but that only pulled the email contacts and not all of my phone contacts. I'll take forever to do it manually, and if I save them to my sim, I'll lose a lot of info. any help? I'm lost at this point.
I looked for a solution to this for a days. The best solution is http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/migrate/how-does-it-work- up to now.
thanks. looks like exactly what I was looking for. I'll give it a try and report back.
I found that installing Google Mobile App on my Touch Diamond2 synced all my contacts to my Google Account and therefore automatically appeared on my N1.

There's many ways of doing this....
If any of these apply you can try any of these...
First you can just import them using bluetooth I'm sure. You could just 'mark all' or select all your contacts in your phone book on your phone and just send them using bluetooth to the nexus.
You could also import them into Outlook express and save them as a file and import them into gmail under contacts in gmail.
Or you could set up an extra gmail account and sync your phone's contacts to that account using Google sync and then export those contacts as a file and import them back into your main gmail account or keep them there and use that account to sync with your nexus.
Sorry for making it sound confusing but I'm coming off a symbian S60 V5... I know there's many ways of doing this
I dropped my HTC Touch Diamond down a storm drain, so I'm replacing it with the HTC EVO. My phone synced a day or 2 before, so I have all of my contacts online with Microsoft My Phone. I see no "export" option anywhere on the page. Any help/suggestions for retrieving and importing into the new phone?
I think the easiest way is to set up your gmail account as an exchange account on your Windows Mobile phone and set it to sync mail and contacts.
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
Then once you set up your N1, your contacts will sync automatically. I love this feature from Google as much as any other. You will never lose your contacts again, no matter what happens to your phone. Also, you can edit and add contacts in your gmail account online and they automatically appear on your phone.
DejaOffice will sync your Nexus contacts to Outlook via USB without going through the google cloud.
Is there a solution for exporting contacts from myPhone? I have broken my TD2 and my TD1 so I can't use that to sync the contacts to the phone and export them. If I could I would probably sync all my old text messages as well.
I am embarking on an approx 30 min task of copying and pasting all my 400 contacts from MyPhone to excel then I can import them. At least I get to tidy up my contacts and remove any duplicates.

[SOLVED] Sync contacts to gmail problem

i want to transfer my contacts from phone to gmail account. But although it's 'sync on' @my O 2x, it syncs everything except the contacts. I'm using fr19. Any idea how to solve this?
thanks.
Sync on doesn't mean all options are, if you tap on the account you'll get a breakdown of what's available.
Yes, everything is checked. I even pressed the sync button. But still when i open gmail from PC, all my contacts aren't there. Only the starred contaacts. Is that what the star is all about?
EDIT: the only contacts that i have in PC's gmail are the ones i sent emails to. Other than that, no contacts are sync from phone to gmail.com
might be worth checking at http://www.google.com/contacts instead of GMail, but I shouldn't think it's any different.
Starred contacts are exactly that, contacts you've starred. Fire up the contacts list and tap a contact... top right will be a star.
or maybe because i'm using LG's gmail app? still can't sync to gmail contacts.

When you make a new phone contact it defaults to an LG PC Suite contact. These wont sync with your Gmail account.
You will need to recreate them and select your gmail acc instead of the above and then they will sync with gmail on the web etc.
Absolute pain in the backside I'm afraid but don't think there is another option
If you have to change them all into google contacts from lg suite contacts (if that's your problem) then I found using my phone explore (app and PC software) quite easy.
I exported all my contacts to a csv file and then converted them so google contacts could read them and then imported into google contacts.
Seems quite long winded but seemed quicker to me than copying each contact.

thanks.. i use the app u mentioned and i can sync with gmail contacts. But only problem is for every entry i have two details, one is from gmail contacts and the one is pc suite. So, i stop sync gmail contacts. But i upload all my LG contacts using myphonexplorer. At least now if i want to change to another android phone the contacts are still there.
Well if you have all your contacts in google then just use my phone explorer to delete them off the phone so you are left with just google contacts. Bit risky if you missed one but if you keep an original file with them all in.
This way if you update contacts then they will be auto saved and backed up with google incase something happens to your phone before you have chance to back up your contacts.
Is there any benefit of one method over another? I mean, besides the obvious that Gmail contacts can be sync directly with the phone? Maybe LG's version is same advantage over gmail's?
I just prefer google contacts as i know they are saved 'in the cloud' and if i ever change my phone i know they will work (as ill be sticking with android). Also, if my phone dies on me i know they will have been backed up almost instantly after i updated/changed a contact.
Also I can access my contacts from anywhere if i havent got my phone with me or my phone has run out of battery life. But that is completely personal opinions.

[Q] Any updates on Outlook Sync?

Running fresh install 2.2 on captivate - I've spent the last several hours trying to find a way to sync the captivate with outlook... and nothing is coming up as a reliable & cheap way. I would have never thought that a modern(ish) phone would have issues syncing with outlook. Never had a problem from the old 8125 up to iphone 3gs... but thought I would check with y'all to see if anything less than $50 has come up that would do the trick. I've tried Kies/MyPhoneExplorer(didn't see outlook calendar data except holidays and recurring events). I don't want to mess with google calendars and I live by the calendars for scheduling business! Any recent developments I should look in to?
Android and Outlook have generally never been close friends. There are a few paid apps you can find that do a very good job of keeping your information in sync.
If your business uses exchange you can set up your exchange account in the e-mail app on your phone and it will allow you to sync you mail, calendar and contacts.

Unfortunately my work is my business of me, myself, and I - so I haven't popped for an exchange server, but the frustration is almost close enough to just look into getting one done - and I've had a hard time finding an ap that syncs outlook and respective contact fields properly with the phone. I understand it's a google vs. MS deal and so they don't want to make it an easy one.... but it's a stupid idea since it will just push people to use iPhone, IMO. For now, I've relented to having to clumsily use google sync and the google calendar program to sync between to two. I just hate having middlemen to have to do it.
I use Kies 1.5.3.10093_80. I hear the newer versions are blocked from working with the captivate, but the older version works find for syncing w/outlook on my home system.

I use Google Calendar Sync and GO Contact Sync Mod. My ISP uses Google Apps for email etc... They were both free and work well.

I use the same apps, to keep contacts and calendar sync. For the E-Mail I just configure in Outlook the Gmail account as IMAP. The only drawback is with the custome field in google that Outlook can't handle.

Lost contacts all of a sudden?

Been txting my friend this morning and suddenly I started getting txt from a number not in my phone book. Turns out it was my mate who I had just been texting all morning. I then had a look through my phone book and I have lost loads of numbers!!! quickly checked my hotmail address book online and for all the contacts, their facebook details are there but outlook/hotmail details which include phone numbers have gone!!!!!
Any ideas?
i'm having the same problem. i used the transfer my data app to transfer my contacts from my iphone 4s to my lumia 920. now all my contacts are gone. i can still see the name and numbers of people that i have called or called me. but when i tap on my phone book to see who is in it no one is there. it's asking me to set up an account. i'm really starting to get pissed off with windows phone. maybe i should return my windows phone and give my money to apple. their **** just seems to work with no problem. how the hell can i have windows contacts on my computer but it won't sync to my windows phone without first transferring to outlook? i don't use outlook. i hate outlook. maybe this is why ms is so far behind ios and android. it sucks!!
You havent associated your contacts with your MS Live/Outlook/Hotmail account?

I have the same problem several days ago: the numbers of many persons I intended to call suddenly disappeared, on all of my lumia 920, desktop outlook, and People on web. The losses seemed to happen when I was editing one contact on Outlook. When I just saved the changed contact, it disappeared. Later, I start finding lots of contacts lost. This really bothers me now.
Guys I have the same ****** problem now...DID u guys find a solution for it?Plz help

I switched my sim card from my lumia 520 to new android today.Then,I tried syncing my hotmail on android but there were no contacts.I took my lumia and saw that the contacts were missing in that too...I tried checking the connected accounts:1 hotmail and 2 Google accounts.The hotmail account is showing synced but the Google accounts are still showing 'syncing'.I tried everything but still continues..My suspect was mayb the contacts were being synced to the Google accounts but got interrupted.so the contacts are neither on my phone nor hotmail nor the Google accounts.help me out guys...PLZ...I hav very important contacts and need them
go to https://people.live.com/
and if contacts there, export to CSV file...
go to Google https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=0#contacts and import contacts there...
also if contacts on phone use official Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/contacts-message-backup/9nblgggz57gm to export contacts to SD card

[Q] Contact no fully sync?

Hi guys. All my current contact are sync from google and not save on the phone or samsung server. My problem now is contact wont fully sync on my gear. Random contact was chosen. Some from google,some from simcard and some from phone. When i choose favourites only, nothing willbe dispalyed unless i choose contact from the 1st sync as favourites. Tried resetting gear,install/uninstall gear manager. The weird problem is when i make a call on the gear. The gear recognize the 'not syncing number'. Anybody facing the same problem? Does gear have limit on how many contact to sync?
Nobody have the same problem? Sending my watch to tech support then...
The problem is about syncing the contacts from cloud... if your phone is fully synced with all the contacts, then your gear will display all.
I have a problem that maybe could be yours.
None of my contacts sync with Gear if I had chosen a Custom Label for it, and all my phone numbers are customized with the name of cellphone's operator. I noticed that only the contacts with standard "mobile", "work" etc... will sync with gear.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
thanks,
Marcelo

Thx for the reply. Im thinking our problem is actually the same. All my contact are using custom label. I label them to my country operator same as u. Maybe this is the reason im not getting it showed in my gear.
