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?

Until this week had been able to get Calendar sync with my corporate exchange account. Had to factory reset phone as it would not boot up.
Reinstall of email accounts went OK ... and as usual selected to sync calendar & contacts.
Yet Calendar does not sync ... email & contacts do.
Calendar remains blank - (so it is not the problem with prior to 2010 dates)...... if I manually create an entry then it shows in Calendar as the 'next appointment'
If I double tap calendar (or go via settings/accounts & sync it shows that :
sync background data - ticked
auto-sync - ticked
corporate account 'sync is ON' and shows green circle.
If I do a force 'sync now' it spins for a second or so, but does not bring in any dates corporate calendar.
It's not account access settings as email & contacts coming across OK
Have carried out a h/w reset again without SD card ... same result, (to rule out card format issues.)
This is BT (Vodafone SIM) and also connected by WiFi.
email & contacts sync no problem.
Any ideas ?
update ... after 3 days had some calendar entries populate ... but stilll nowhere near in synch.
Anbody offer any help on this ?

After hardware reset had no improvement ... I updated to FROYO then to Gingerbread .. uisng KIES 2
Now all OK.
I don't think it was a fix in the s/w but I think the new software flushed out something in the build that a reset could not clear.
I have the same problem with calendar. My biggest reason to get this phone is because I needed a good calendar that can sync with Office Outlook and I just can't get it done anymore. Nothing is being synced and I really need all my appointments with me at all times (I'm in the medical field and need to be able to give patients appointments anywhere I am and don't want to tell them I will call them back when I'm in the office)
Any solutions or is upgrading to Gingerbread and Kies 2 the only solution like Sargan did?
You guys may want to use an app from CodeTwo. It's been recommended to me by my friend who is Exchange admin in a big company, where employees wanted to be synced to their office calendars, mails etc. and access them on their mobiles. The program syncs exchange public folders with your private mail clients on androids, iphones, blueberries etc.
oh, sorry, forgot to say, it's called CodeTwo Exchange Sync and is free in a trail version. You can download it from CodeTwo's official website.
Or the Enhanced Email for that matter - works great and sorted out all Calendar issues I had.
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.
Are any of you experiencing sync failures of your various accounts?
My gmail and google contacts usually sync correctly, but I have had a sync failure a couple times.
My Yahoo email account is through the native email app. It often syncs when it's supposed to, but is experiencing a number of sync errors where it just hangs up during the sync process, and then fails.
My office email account is through the Exchange Active Sync. It includes email, calendar and contacts. The calendar and contacts sync when they're supposed to, sometimes. The email has not synced since yesterday. It gets hung up when syncing and then fails.
It's Monday afternoon, now, and I've had the phone since Friday afternoon. Didn't start noticing these sync failures until late yesterday.
I've tried restarting the phone. That didn't help.
Thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Any help on this would really be appreciated. I'm stumped.
Yesterday afternoon, I removed my Exchange account and then re-installed. All worked perfectly until a couple hours ago.
Upon more careful attention, it appears that what's going on is that all parts of the Exchange account work properly except the email Inbox. Calendar and Contacts sync. Outgoing email syncs. But the Mail sync hangs-up with the turning circle and the Inbox will not sync.
I am having exactly the same problem on two different HTC One. Everything syncs fine except E-Mail. The only way to solve this is to remove the exchange account and add a new one. This happens when your Dataline is weak and switches around nothing-GPRS-Edge-3G or Wifi.

Try this: In Exchange General Settings set mail-size limit to max and sync-timerange to all. This setting is now working for over 3 days.
So. I have a problem that's developed over the last couple days.
I have all my contacts in Outlook.com. I added my account through the Outlook app and can see all my contacts through the app.
I have set the Contacts app to display contacts ONLY from the Outlook account but when returning to the app, it displays none.
I've checked by also asking the Contacts app to display ONLY contacts from WhatsApp. Although I don't have any stored, I thought it might show contacts from the app anyway. But none.
Tried the same with Messenger, but no Facebook contacts display.
Tried deleting Outlook app and reinstalling but no change. It worked until the last OTA update a few days ago.
Any ideas?
Turns out in order to sync properly, you have to turn it on in the Outlook app.
Open Outlook app
Click on Settings (the cog)
Click on the name of the account
Click the "sync contacts" toggle
