hard reset my hd2 yday and i lost all my contacts, did a sync with myphone and it downloaded all my contacts to my phone, i then syncd with the computer and outlook replaced those contacts with my old ones. i was wondering if there is a way to choose a download option in myphone, because now if i go to sync again to get my contacts back of myphone it will upload the old contacts and replace the myphone ones, then i will never be able to get them back, does anyone know how myphone works? does it just do a download the first time after a hard reset?
In activesync (or outlook) i know there is an option to sync the other way so outlook 'learns' the contacts from your phone.
As i now have my HD broken (just broke the LCD) i can't check for you

So i finally upgraded to WM6 and used the Perfect English package.
now since I'm not too sure how but I lost all my contacts, and they werent saved on my SIM. I was lucky that my contacts were saved on Outlook though, so I'm wondering how exactly I can copy these contacts (or sync) to my phone directly.
Manually adding 122 contacts would be a chore!
thanks
Just sync your phone via Active Sync, it would be synced back
You shouldnt use Perfect English, but this

i forgot to mention I'm using Vista,...so i have no active sync...I used VMware to update and the contacts are currently on Outlook 2007 on my host pc.
Vista got Windows Mobile Device Center thingy wad
right, but everytime it syncs, the contacts dont!...
Hi there,
I got a WM6 phone full of contacts. I've been using the phone with Windows
Live and I have spent hours tidying up contacts with MSN live accounts and
so on.
As I reinstalled the OS on my PC, I deleted the partnership of my WM6 phone in order to start fresh. Everything works fine if wasn't for the fact that my existing contacts simply WON'T SYNC. I'm using Windows XP SP2 with Activesync 4.5.0 and Outlook 2007 (installing SP1 as I write this).
I tried to tick/untick the option to sync my contacts. All I got as a result is that ALL of my non live-enable contacts have been whiped out (yes, OUCH!)
If I create a new contact on the phone (outlook contact only) or on the PC the new contact will sync. But as for existing contacts they are simply ignored!
If I copy an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to modify an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to create a new Windows Live contact, IT WON'T SYNC
I tried to delete the profile and parterships to start fresh but I got no luck. Could someone please advise? I'm about to to flip out here!
Thank you all in advance!
Regards,
P
I wanted to know if there is a way around or trick to prevent duplicating contacts/appointments/tasks everytime I flash my vogue

Is there any solution?

I found a simple solution... Flash your device. Sync with MyPhone. Delete Outlook personal folders file and create a new, empty one (easy way to just delete everything from Outlook). Then set up sync between device and Outlook, voila - all your data goes first from MyPhone to device, then from device to Outlook.

Create new Contacts folder
The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.
However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?
Thanks.
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.
I have finally catched some time and esited my contact list, so now ALL my contacts have adress, picture, mail, all numbers an so on...
For now I have backuped them on Microsoft MyPhone so that when I flash any rom can easily sync them back to my Diamond.
But question is,how to transfer all those contacts to android platform(so that all pics, adreses and other are still there)??
Anybody?
Not sure if it will work as I have never had the need to try but would creating a Google account and setting up synch with that do the job?
I have google account for a long time
But how to sync it with mine contacts?
OK, its another hoop to jump through but I am fairly certain that Seven offers the option to synch calendar/mail/contacts with WM and Android devices and a Google account. My PIM data is all held on an Exchange system so I have never used the contact side of Seven.
The "On" buttons for syncing those two categories are greyed out.
I really would like to be able to sync my contacts to PC so I can edit them easier, since lots of duplicates show up in the Messaging contacts menu.
Any idea what I can do?
I have the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Have you downloaded and installed HTC Sync software on your PC.

I assume you aren't using a Google account for your contacts, the Sense contact database will use the HTC Sync software and want to hook into Outlook (or something else) on the PC. However, with a Google account, you can sync your contacts to the cloud and view them in GMail on the pc and edit there.
HTC Sync is installed on my home computer and at work. I'm trying to sync my phone with Outlook 2007. I'm not worried about my contacts so much as I would like to sync with my calendar in outlook, so any meetings I have on my computer at work, will show up on my phone.
I was able to use HTC Sync with the Inspire to load Contacts with no problem. I did not do the calendar, since I sync that with Goolge. Google contacts cannot deal with all the contact notes I have in Outlook.
Be sure to get the latest HTC Sync.

You have to run HTC sync as an administrator in Win7.

I can do that at home, but at work I have XP and it doesn't work there either.
After having the same problem with calender button being greyed out in HTC SYNC 3 i might have found another solution to fix this.
My HTC Sync 3 (and previous versions) used to sync everything i wanted but after a system restore to an earlier date 2 months ago it stopped syncing the calender items from outlook 2003. Yes i've only just noticed that it's not been syncing!!
1/ I tried going back to earlier versions of htc sync but that didn't work.
2/ I tried running HTC Sync as administrator but that didn't work.
3/ I installed a fresh copy of HTC Sync (all versions) with msconfig items modified and that didn't work.
4/ I removed all traces of HTC Sync and installed MyPhoneExplorer and that didn't work as well......that then led me to believe that the problem couldn't be with my HTC Sync.
5/ What fixed it for me was a detect and repair in MS office 2003 (through add and remove programs) and also i did a detect & repair in outlook 2003 itself as well. You might need the office install disc as it needed some cab files during the repair.
I then installed HTC Sync 3 ver 5511 again and the calender button is now back and selectable again....Hey presto.
I can only assume the windows restore featire to an earlier time might have thrown a spanner in the works.
