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

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.

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?
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.
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

Sweet. Got it to work !
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?
