Hi, just upgraded to a Galaxy S8. I have two email accounts: one is personal and one is for work. The accounts switched over BUT when I look in cloud/accounts, the work one doesn't show up and it will not sync email. It shows up if I tap the email icon and switch from my personal. And it's happy to tell me the sync is turned off, but I can't figure out how to find it and make it sync. Any suggestions?

Hi I just received my galaxy, so possible a NOOB problem.
The problem is that I have a google calendar, and on my phone it sees both the appointments I have done on the phone and the google appointments - so this is fine.
If I make a appointment via a computer at the net on the google calendar, then it will show up on the phone calendar - this is fine.
BUT if I make an appointment on the phone - it will not show up on the google calendar on the net.
It seems like the phone uses "My Calendar" which is not synced with the google calendar - so have I missed a setting somewhere?
Thanks
When you did the calender mark did you choose google calender and not the phone calender?? take a close look so u have choose that before apply the appointment/mark in the cal. when you set the day/clock under that you can choose what calender to use....I missed that too...
Ok thanks - found the setting.
Is it possible to change the behaviour, so that when you make an appointment on the phone it is by default using the google calendar and not the phone calendar?
I dont think you can set it as default..not sure. With some app maybe? I just have my Galaxy for 4 days so everything is new
Thanks, compared to me you are very experienced (had mine for 1 day)
I would also be interested in a way to change the default.
Additionally I'd like to have the automatically created birthday events appear in one of my Google calendars, not in the phone calendar. Has anybody an idea on how to do that?
It says "with Google" on the phone, if I'm selling my soul to Google, at least I'd like to do it completely and thoroughly.
I'm syncing with my Yahoo Calendars, my 2 Gmail account Calendars
also contact from those 3 accounts too, and IM from MSN, google, yahoo, tweeter, facebook
this phone is Amazing! at keeping everything in sync
just make sure on the account page your accounts are all with the Green sync circle
I`ve had my HD7 for a couple of days and its all working nicely with Hotmail email, Contacts from Windows live (hotmail) and google calendar. One thing I beleive the HD7 will do is work with PUSH notifications on all these accounts, via exchange activesync.
I`ve set these accounts up on the phone, but I get the impression these accounts are not actually Push activated. The accounts say "download new items every hour"
I have changed this, so that it now says "As items arrive".
Does that activate push automatically, or are there other settings to change?
Thanks!!
that's all you need to do as long as your phone has signal the notifications will pop up as things arrive
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‘m new here. I just want to ask how to exchange facebook. I mean to have all birthdays from my facebook contacts in my phone calender.
I know that is possible. But how.
Facebook is sinchronized.

I have a client that has a Droid Turbo and is syncing his contacts with an Exchange Server. He has about 500 contacts in Outlook on his computer but when it syncs with the Droid he has about 4000.
I can not figure out where they are coming from. I did notice the extra contacts are coming from contact groups but I searched everywhere in Outlook and can not find them. I also synced by Note 4 to his account and only had 500 contacts. My phone did not bring in any groups.
Any ideas?

Check out my thread about a similar issue. Maybe this answers it... A solution would be great though haha
I am pretty sure you have an option to sync contacts when setting up the account. Is the device rooted? If so:
flash an image that has xposed installed and get that set up.
Download greenify
click the top right corner and go to experimental features
scroll down and enable reveal hidden sync
go to settings app
go to account section and then e-mail account
click the first button that tells you when the last sync was performed (not account settings)
The first option should be " * Contacts" which could be disabled
Its a long workaround but if you already have xposed and greenify like I did then it just a couple of clicks. You could also first try to remove the account and then set it up again, but I forget if that was really an option during setup or not
