DOWNLOAD the windows live app for WM sync contacts to live. Once that is done, when you log into the new phone with that live ID it will sync those contacts to the trophy.

thanks i just did this , now after i did this i went to my hotmail account on the computer and clicked on contacts to see if it went but its showing none of my contacts from my phone isnt it suppose to show on my hotmail account on the computer if they synced?
goto contacts in phone, select all, then in menu button all the way at the bottom is add to windows live( you can also add it to messenger), not sure if you need to hit sync again and logout of hotmail and then back in. took me an hour to fig that out, but so far everything on my phnoe seem to be in windows live contacts.
Nevermind only added a few.
I think I just transferred my contact to the SIM card. Not sure though.

Hey there,
I'd like to refresh my contact list. I'd like to use Windows Contacts or Windows Live to sync them with my Mails (what would be included in Live) and my phone. I can add contacts in Windows Live, but I cannot add a picture to them But I can't add new contacts in Windows Contacts... Normally, there should be a button to add a new contact, but even if I press right click -> new -> contact I cannot ad another one. What did I do wrong?
Another problem is that I cannot get the contacts from my phone to my computer. How can I do that?
I do not use Microsof Outlook, so this solution is unfortunateley not the right fo me.
Bye,
Chris
don't believe that activesync or vistas sync support anything but outlook
I would try to google alternativ sync programs to solve this if I were you
you may have to buy the sync program though
Think the Seven Beta program does sync of contacts with Windows Live. I know it is primarily and email delivery prog but as far as i can recall it also does sync betwee Windows live and your phone. Think it also does Google as well. I have never needed it for that as mine is all managed OTA with an Exchange server.
Hello all, just picked up my shiney new HTC HD7, very impressed with it so far. Only thing is I cant seem to get my contacts sync'd. All my contacts are saved in my google account, so I it set up, even have the contacts options checked on the mail setting, no joy, will retrieve email find, but no contacts. I then allowed my hotmail account to access my google contacts, so they have all appeared in my hotmail account (when I log in using my PC). Now I have added my hotmail account to the phone, contacts now sync, but the numbers do no, just the names, any ideas?
Got it sorted, looks like it just took a while for the contacts to merge.

For those of you who have been looking for a way to transfer your contacts from your Windows Mobile phone to the Captivate, I found that Sprite has a way to do this.
I didn't want to post all my contacts on Google because they don't belong there since, in my case, they belong in Outlook. Outlook being the standard business client for the majority out there. I was looking for a way to get my contacts from the old phone (HTC Tilt2) to the new phone (Captivate) without posting it to Google.
I ran across this:

Make sure you have sync'ing turned off prior to loading the contacts to the phone for your primary account so you're semi-assured to not sync them to Google.
It worked well for me. I wish that Google would have had the thought to meet the needs of businesses as well as the personal side of using Android. I use my phone for both business and pleasure and am a little tweaked at the Android OS for not making an Outlook client that sync's with the standard contacts list. Yes, without having to load seperate software to store them in like I've seen being released.
Let me know what you guys and gals think about using Sprite....
I keep reading that phone contacts sync to Google. From what I can see, Google only syncs your contacts from Google to your phone and not your phone cantacts to Google. If there is a way to sync your phone contact to your Google account, I would like to know how to do it?
In other words when I got my Captivate AT&T transfered my contact from my old phone to the new phone. I then added my Google account to my phone and the Google contacts were added to my phone but the phone contacts did not go to my Google account. Phone has Google and phone contacts and Google has Google contact only.

There is a Outlook plugin/app you need to install in order to sync contacts from Outlook to Google. Search and you will find it. I don't know the name of the plugin or app becaue I don't use it.
Microsoft also have Outlook Connector that you can install to sync contacts from Outlook to Windows Live accounts. Then you can setup your Android phone (or Windows Phone 7) to sync with your Windows Live account using Exchange ActiveSync. Or you can setup GMail to import contacts directly from your Live account.
I use Kies to keep them sync'd
how have you guys been syncing your Thunderbolt to your PC? I use Outlook for contacts/calendar and Chrome for a browser. This is my first android device so I am lost trying to get all this stuff on the phone. I had a windows mobile 6.5 phone prior to this and it made syncing a snap. Any tips would be appreciated.

They have a app for 39 bucks which requires 2 other apps to sync which is a rip in my thoughts .... what i did was export my contacts to a csv(windows) format file onto my desktop. From there i logged into my google account online, imported the csv file under the contacts page, and advanced. and then once the contacts were uploaded online, went into settings sync on my phone and added the gmail account there and everything was sync'd for FREE
*** For calendar appointments do the same
now u have the questions of updates, it's gonna be kinda tedious and i have NOT tried it yet but i was thinking every tyme i have a new contact or calendar item i will have to forward the individual contact as an attachement to my gmail and add to my contacts, and for the calendar appt i was thinking i can email the calendar appointment to the gmail adcount......
Googleapp sync will NOT work unless u have a GOOGLE Business account, i tried and failed :-(
Hope that helps
I tried using htsync but it locked up my pc every time.
Hi! I'm currently an android user and am looking to possibly move to the Windows phone side. I am currently waiting on my Lumia 800 to be delivered, but have a few questions about contact syncing
I currently have my contacts on gmail and android syncs to it as expected. What I miss is the ability to have a local copy in my desktop outlook (non-exchange), so I usually download from gmail once a month and overwrite my outlook contacts (since gmail is almost always up-to-date because of my phone)
Reading about this on microsoft's site, it looks like I can sync up my outlook to my live account (using hotmail connector which I already use).
Question 1 - is this a one time sync (between live acct and desktop outlook)? Or does it sync back and forth if there are changes in either location? (I assume/expect that the WP7 will make sure that the phone and live acct will always be in sync regardless of where I make changes).
In other words, will my phone, live acct and outlook contacts be in perfect sync?
Question 2 - If I have my gmail account set up in WP7 people hub, will it show me duplicate contacts (that I will have to manually link)? Or will it be able to synchronize my contacts between gmail and live as well?
Thanks!
if i remember well from 9 months ago when i did this
answer 1: it is one time sync
answer 2: it will link them together but not sync them
Thanks! Do you know of a free & reliable way to make it sync regularly between Live and desktop outlook (non-exchange)?
i do not but your live account contacts will show in outlook anyway so you can directly use them
I have a question sortof related to this...
My girlfriend got a Radar 4G for Xmas and will be switching over from Android in the next couple of days, is there any tutorials or instructions on how to do that available?
Is there a way to manually sync her contacts between gmail and the phone? If not, is there a way to back them up somehow?
I'm not really up on exchange or any of MS's services and could use some pointers...
