Ok here is a small question. I have added all of my old phone contacts to the phone contacts. But when I am using the Calender of my HTC Diamond ( which is basicly Outlook ) and set up a meeting, I am not able to add any contacts from the phone contacts. THe list of contacts it empty. So that means there is a phone contacts list and a outlook contact list.
Why? I mean shouldnt this all be handeled by windows mobile? Is there an easy way of getting the phone contacts to my outlook contacts? And will the outlook contacts work for calling somebody?
This just doesn't make any sense usability wise to me..
P.S.: Active sync only "sees" the outlook contacts , which are empty on my phone.
Hi,
please specify "phone contact". Are these one your SIM card? Because if not, they should be synced with your outlook contacts(in outlook, they should show in contacts now)
Otherwise you can just copy all sim contacts to your phone.
To answer your question, yes you can call outlook contacts with the phone, ofcourse after sync.

I have a nexus one and have been trying to sync the contacts in the phonebook since I got it. Some of the contacts got synced because the names are identical, but with lots of them the names are different and I dont want to change them to their facebook names. too serious is there any way i can link phonebook contacts with facebook contacts without giving them the exact names?
I use SyncMyPix from the Market,it syncs your Facebook contacs pics with your contact list.....not sure if does sync their #,give it a try
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App
Just got an Atrix. The default Contacts app is pretty bad. It can't sync groups w/gmail!
Does anybody know of an app that both syncs groups w/gmail and has an option to only display contacts w/phone numbers?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I assumed that with all Android devices nowadays, any contact I add will be by default saved to Google Contacts.
just browsed my Google Contacts online and found that almost all of my recent phonebook additions are missing from Goog Contacts.
Isn't there a way to have them saved and synced forever??
Thanks,
TD

Having the same problem
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Go under system setting then account and touch google account and turn sync on. If your under T-Mobile they have their own account sync
After confirming you have Google account and synced, check in PEOPLE app that the contacts are actually saved as "Google" accounts.
If not, you can always go to people->menu->manage contacts->copy contacts->from phone->to Google.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the replies.
I think the issue was that by default, the contacts were saving as "Outlook" contacts, hence why they weren't appearing in my G Contacts.
Not sure why the default is set to Outlook - is there a way to change this?
Also, it appears there is no way to migrate contacts added and synced to Outlook to G Contacts.. Anyone know?
Cheers,
TD

See if Outlook can export contacts a csv file then go to Gmail on the pc and import it into contacts there.

No need for Outlook extract:
Get into people on your phone, choose in the menu: manage contacts, copy contacts, choose the source account (Outlook in your situation) and then the destination (Gmail) and Done.

Hello and sorry if this was repeated. I sync my contacts from Outlook.com using HTC (m8 & m9) stock mail app. The second mobile number in a contact is always showing as "Car" number not as "Mobile" Number in my phone. Sometimes, some additional strange changes is happening in my contacts details too. My question is this a problem relates to Android, HTC, or MS Exchange service?
