I have a Touch Pro2 running the official HTC wm6.5 ROM (EUR).
I am unable to sync my contacts via activesync exchange server but Mail & Calendar are syncing OK.
If I tick mail and calender and then sync the device all works fine and sure enough the mail and calender is propagated. However if I tick contacts it starts syncing saying "syncing contacts 1/928" it gets up to about 30/928 then stops and says its finished. There are no contacts added.
I've never had this problem before. They sync perfectly on my Diamond (wm6.5) and Iphone 3GS.
Can anyone think what to try?
If you have Google apps, you have to allow 'Mobile Sync' in the Dashboard for the domain settings.
In regular Gmail, there is something like it I believe, but that is the issue...it is simply a matter of "allowing" it via a checkbox
Hi,
I've noticed that my contacts are not able to sync with google. This never was a problem till the time I rooted and eventually started flashing ROMs.
I simply try to sync contacts by :
Contacts --> Accounts--> sync contacts , gmail etc--> the sync finishes but no numbers are synced.
The usual gmail account info comes up but without the phone numbers.
Any inputs people?

Yes, I did check the Display Option. Nothing shows up.
I have about 800 contacts all saved with country code, when i receive a phone call the contact name does not appear it shows unknown, what should i do? when i receive an sms the sender name appears normaly please help
Did a quick google search. A few folks with the same kinda issue. Are you syncing your contacts with google contacts? Do they appear correctly when you go to contacts.google.com? If they do, then try unlinking the phone with google contact sync, then clearing data from contact storage, google contacts sync, and phone (Settings > Apps > app name > clear data). Then relink your google contact sync. See if that works. Don't really know though. Try, won't lose anything.
Hello,
i sync my contacts via a Exchange Account. Contacts on Google are disabled completely. If i go now to S-Planer, enable "My Calendars", i could enable afterwards "Birthdays of my Contacts". If i do this, i see all Birthdays twice in S-Planer. If i disable "Birthdays of my Contacts" i get no Birthdays in S-Planer. Is there a way to see only one entry or do i something wrong?
So i just got the alcatel idol 3 last Wensday and had to manualy enter all of my contacts in, how do i back them all up to my google account so i dont have to enter them all in next time ?
Is there any good tip/tricks for this phone besides rooting ?
As long as you are logged into your google account on the phone, it should backup automatically. If you want to make sure, go to settings->accounts->Google, then touch your email address. You can turn off different things to sync, one should be "Contacts"
The manual way, if you want to keep a copy yourself, is to open the Contacts app, then check the settings there. Should be an option to export contacts. It makes a .vcf file that can hang on to.

correct.
Probably going to make that vcf file backup, then clear data and cache in the contacts apps. Then restore contacts with the vcf file, and try resynching.
it wont sync, because you inserted the contacts to phone not to gmail account. You canverify it by going to contacts, hit menu (three dots im upper right corner). then select showed accounts and deselect phone. You will notice, that the contacts are gone, because they are only onbthe phone memory (not synced). You have to export all contacts to vcf file, then inport the vcf. When you select import from sdcard the app will ask you if you wish to import to phone (not synced) or to your google account (you have to be loged in). You select to google account and its done. In few minutes you will see the contacts also in your gmail account under contact on computer... howgh ?

ho do you mean going to contacts through text message icon?Do you mean when you start a text message and choose the recipient? It could be because you have the numbers on your phone/sim and also on google account. delete the one in your phone (before make sure they are on your phone and that you have backed them to google account or to cvs file through export option).
