List of apps that sync using standard api!

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?

[Q] ways to sync htc with computer / online

sorry, i did a search but couldn't really find a good thread.
what are some other options to syncing your phones contacts with your computer besides outlook and gmail ? i don't have outlook and i don't like the way gmail syncs with the phone.
i'd like to find some kind of program or online site where you can sync and edit your contacts easily. i need to group my contacts again, and it's a pain to do this one by one on the phone.
thanks.

As long as you have saves your contacts as google contacts, they are already synced. Go to google on your comp and find contacts there

tasks sync

Everyone knows that google calendar cant show and sync google tasks
On my gnex I am using GTasks for this: not handy having 2 apps and 2 widgets but hey... that's at least better than nothing
On s-planner I c that there's a task option but I have the feeling that these are local and can be synced with samsung account (useless as they wont shoe up on the phone) but not with google tasks
so, if I want to keep in sync tasks between phone and tablet I guess to keep on using google tasks ANA GTasks, rite?

sorry my friend but I do not understand...
I can sync my gmail, I can sync my calendar (either google calendar or s-planner, well actually s-planner is nothjing morte than a samsung wrapper around google's calendar), but I cannot sync tasks in s-planner with tasks in google calendar

to sync task from G account is always better to use GTask
this is the reason why I'm not working with G account task, but with Exchange account task
so use GTask... is answer

[Q] Exchange with Google Calendar

I am having issues with my Exchange work calendar and the Google Calendar app. I had just switched to using the Google Calendar app to test it out. I can add an event on the Google Calendar app for my Exchange account just fine. But when I get into Outlook on my computer and check my calendar it acts like that event was added by someone else and I was invited to it. Has anyone else had this issue? I didn't have this issue with the default Samsung calendar app on the phone.

That's what I will have to do too if nobody has a solution for this.

Questions from a longtime XDA Member recently converting to Galaxy S8+

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.
