Hey folks, there's nowhere on the web where someone lays down ALL the applications that utilize the syncing or quick contact api! Lets list them all, unless I'm retarted and there's only 4 . Facebook, twitter, lastfm, googlevoice. Obviously I'm excluding the default apps like gmail and maps.
So, are there any other apps that sync with google using the stardard api?

Hi I've been looking for ages for any apps that sync with Acounts & Sync like Facebook and Google does, where I get my contacts to sync with them.
But I was looking for an MSN, MySpace and possibly Bebo app that will sync my contacts.
I'm not too worried about Bebo as I can't even find a simple app for it, but MSN and MySpace would be nice.
Thanks in advance.
Well, i can't offer you a sync program but you may use wlm (msn) export contacts feature and than import them with google contacts.
I have added google account information and automatic sync setting on, (contacts, gmail, picasa, calendar are selected).
google contact is sync (tested both ways, from phone to google mail; and from google mail to phone.)
google calendar is not sync at all. (in calendar, when create new event, there only 'pc sync').
Need your help. Thx.

additional calendar sync
Hi,
I added the German Holidays Calendar from Google (PC).
It doesn't show up on the Sensation. Syncs fine on my Galaxy Tab, but not on the Sensation.
Did all sorts of things to no avail.
Thanks!
I have several football fixtures and other calendars on the Google Calendar and it synced fine to my Desire, but it won't sync to my Sensation?
Is this a bug?
i can't help except to say, all my google calendars sync perfectly
Got my apple-less father a transformer for his bday. As he has a gmail account and contacts, but uses a blackberry, he can not access his contacts through his only android device (tablet) other than through a browser on a pc.
Am I missing it or is there a way to view gmail contacts on the android 4.0 gmail app?
Thanks
Not on the app itself
But there is an app just for that on the app drawer. People, IIRC.
It lets you manage your google contacts.
This will be the first Android device that I'm getting. I'm currently using an iPhone 4. I heard I need a Google account to use Android. I do have a Google account, but it's not a Gmail account. Basically I just use my MSN email address and I can access Google Calendar and most other services except for Gmail. I intend to keep things like that as I'm not a huge fan of Gmail. Out of the box, can the One X be configured where I use Hotmail with the default email client or even Exchange email and then my Google account for everything else? I really like the concept where my Google Chrome tabs on my desktop can be synchronized with Chrome for Android. I don't want to use Gmail and I hope Android won't try to force me to use that and or Google+.
Yes, you sure can use it that way. Even if it "gives" you a Gmail account you can turn off sync for it so it never checks. You can also disable the Gmail app itself.

Hello all I have been a long time XDA member and took a leave of absence due to MS not really tailoring to Windows Phone.
I just picked up a S8+ and it is a nice device but I am struggling a bit and remembered how hopeful this site is.
Is there a single email and calendar application that can handle all my email accounts (live, office 365, work exchange)?
In addition I seem to be missing a good bit of contacts as I have my primary live account and gmail account on the device.
I can tell you this is a nice device but coming from Windows phone setup is tedious I have to figure out my facebook contact sync and WhatsApp sync as well.
Any tips from a convert would be greatly appreciated
Thanks for all your help my new family
I have been away from xda for quite sometime because I had an iPhone, switching to this phone also was a bit painful but it turned out to be easier than I thought.
You have Gmail, I'm using it for my work email (Microsoft), Hotmail, Yahoo and my Google account. It's works very nice.
As for the missing contacts, you can go to settings and accounts and add any account you want, open it, and activate contact sync. Not sure if it can sync Facebook contacts. Or you can just try from the Facebook settings
Hi there,
im using Outlook for syncing mail and calendar. However using samsung calendar app you have everything synced and good to go. Also, you can sync your exchange/office365 to show your contacts in contact list.
What have I notcied, that Microsoft have much improved their apps on Android. Take a look at BlueMail as well - it syncs gmail and office and any other mail you need.
For Facebook i'm using Metal as I hate stock facebook app.

Yeah but the native Samsung Email and Calendar apps don't grab this information. In addition adding new contacts is such a pain as you have to do it directly in the outlook app instead of the default phone/contacts app. I have had this issue numerous times.
I hope they are able to fix this as I shouldn't have to migrate all my shared calendars to google from outlook.com to be able to work with them.
Great device but these items should just work and I think it may just be a Samsung issue I am working on getting another device to test.
As amon87 said BlueMail is the way.
