I am using Android-Sync and I am happy with it, it's an Alpha release but it very stable. Using it once a week only...

Brother, I tried companion link initially then I proceed to get it purchased after a few days of using.
With companion link, you can enter all your contacts or calendars in your Outlook on our PC then it will automatic sync with your Google Account and the time to sync is depend on your setting whether you want it to sync everytime you boot up the PC or based on hourly basis.
Try it to see whether you like it.
thanks will give them try
Outsync - you run it on your PC, and it syncs your facebook contacts with your outlook contacts
Google has allready awaken in this agenda
It is at android-sync.com
I have made a try - so far it synces contacts only with minor bugs (does not sync contact pics...), but is promising to sync all neccessary Outlook agenda. Seems to be a solution for better Android dissemination...
I too am using companion link.
Been using it since I first got my X10a and very happy with it. I did have some problems with duplicate entries after upgrading to 2.1, but once I sorted it all out, it is working great.
Hi,
I'm having problems syncing my contacts from my phone to my Gmail account. Basically, they're syncing the wrong way!
If I put a new number in my phone then sync to Gmail the number is deleted as it isn't already in my Gmail contacts list.
Surely this is the wrong way around? Surely it should add the new number to my Gmail account? After all, the phone is the logical place to create new contacts.
So, what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
If it matters I'm running Vodafone branded firmware: Baseband 1.2.28, Build R2BA024.
Thanks.

could it be you're editing your contacts on gmail as well? then again.. it couldn't be because it's 2 different contacts right?
how bout, if you create an account in google contacts? does it get synced with your fone and show up there?
Yeah if I add a contact to Gmail it syncs to my phone fine. Just not the other way around.
*confused*

i also have a question to this case. obviously (and i think this is also the reason why this thread was opened) gmail sync only syncs the contacts from your gmail-account to the phone...actually it would be more valuable if i could transfer the contacts from my phone to my gmail-account, as it would also be a kind of backup if something happens to my device.
it is also a thing of daily routine, if i receive a new number or mailadress, i do save it in my phone. because of the only sync-direction gmail->phone, i have to sit in front of my pc in the evening and add the new contact details to my gmail-account...? wouldn't it be easier if i could start a transfer from my phone TO gmail?!?!

My thoughts exactly! Far more logical that way around.
The weird thing is, it used to work that way for me. Now it doesn't. As far as I'm aware I haven't changed any settings on either my phone or my gmail account. Very strange!
Tried clearing the cache btw and that hasn't solved the problem.

so you already did that with your X10? you transferred the contacts of your phone to gmail?
of course it would be perfect, if i could chose which side should synchronize with the other...
e.g. if i need to reset my phone, then i'd love to get my contacts back from gmail!
hope, that somebody can help us here!

Yeah. As far as I'm aware it used to sync in both directions. When I first got my phone I ran a manual sync and all my contacts appeared on my phone. Then if I added one to my phone, or changed one, and ran another sync it would update my gmail contacts with the new/changed one.
Now it doesn't. Strange!
The only thing I can think it would be is that I changed the last part of my address from googlemail.com to gmail.com.
I wonder if that might have something to do with it?

hey dont worry for that part as it syncs all contacts in a very clever way, for eg i had flashed my phone several times and didnt kept backup of my contacts(apart from one on gmail) and when i was done with flashing i just use to sync them again with gmail and voila..ph got updated according to copy of gmail contacts...so it doesnt deleates the contacts on gmail...

hm, so it should normally align both states maybe? is the sync-function really checking the contacts of the phone and those in gmail an adds only the contacts on that side, where they are missing?
well, i have tried the sync once and it deleted all the new contacts on my phone! there was only a transfer of my gmail-contacts to my X10...phone book was ignored and even overwritten!
any hints what sunjin an i do wrong?

It used to sync both ways for me but now it doesn't. This is very, VERY annoying as I frequently add new contacts to my phone but I now have to remember to go add them to Gmail too or they get deleted next time I sync. Illogical if you ask me.
Can anyone with a different phone/version of Android confirm if this happens to you also?

Hi.
On tuesday I'm receiving my first Window Phone, the Lumia 800. What is the first thing I should do with it after receiving the device.
I'm coming from android and the the first step with them devices where rooting it.
Are there something similar I should start with on tuesday with the Lumia?
Thanks in advance
Pemell
1) Run diag tool (##634# in dialer), check screen and full battery charge (must be > 1000mAh), audio. Try other tests.
2) There are no "root" for this moment, so you don't need this step.
3) Create and link your lumia to live.com account.
4) Update via Zune if there is some update.
5) Fall in love with wp7 and lumia design.
Before it even arrives, you should decide which web service you'd like to use to store your contacts (google or Live). Clean up the contacts on that account so that they'll already look good when they sync to your Lumia. If you use Outlook, then install the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail connector and it will sync your calendar/contacts from outlook to Live (again, make sure to have cleaned out Live first so that you don't get blending that you don't want).
Have fun with your Lumia. It's so nice to just hold on to.
Thanks! Really great answers.
I use google for storing contacts and calendar posts so I will clean this up before I get it, great tip. I know many of them need some updates.
As regard of the diagnosis, I read somewhere about a battery problem. Chipsaru: Is this a fact if I can't charge it with more then 1000mAh? I'll check it when it arrives.
Thanks again folks,
Pemell
With normal lumia you'll be able to charge it more than ~1200mAh.
But there are some faulty devices which has some problems with battery controller and it responds to diagnostic app value of full charge capacity less than 1000 mAh. It's known defect and nokia replaces this devices.

Does all of the Google Contacts fields synchronize properly with Windows Phone 7.5?
How about Windows Live Hotmail Contacts? I would presume that everything in the fields will synchronize properly due to the fact that it's a Microsoft controlled product.
I don't use too many fields. Just name, number, email, and address. Those seem to sync just fine.
I can't give specifics, as I started with Google and thought it was doing a good job... until I tried to migrate my calendar to Live using outlook. Had to change data files, but my contacts wouldn't just move right over. So, I figured since I have GOcontactSync that I could delete from outlook and resync. Yeah, big mistake. Google was syncing as planned and I lost a lot of data.
NOW? I use Outlook with the hotmail connector software and everything syncs seamlessly between phone, cloud, and pc.
There are some limitations in syncing with gmail. In google contacts you can set more than one mobile number for one person (phone number with badge "mobile"), but wp7 would not synchronize additional mobile numbers, only the first one. And there wouldn't be any error messages.
So be careful with gmail and check contacts with not usual fields.
What if have mobile, home, work?
Will all be synced?
Do I need to create new account or I can use existing hotmail?

m/h/w will all be synced. "other" will not be synced until you correct the category. This is what happens w/ google, I think.
Yes, you can use your existing hotmail account.
Thanks

Hello guys
I'm using Galaxy S2, running ICS 4.0.3
I have lots of funny contact names because of the SKYPE nicknames. Also, some contacts are made from email handlers.
So to organize them nicely, I spent last few hours on my Gmail / Contact account, renaming, adding photos, merging etc...
Except, that when I want to SYNC it. Not all of the contacts update, and some remain as they were.
I would trash them all and import new set from Gmail, but I'm worry that when I do that, it might trash my gmail contact as well
Any idea what's the best way to deal with that ?
Also, is there any way to change the contact font size? I have many long names, and lots of contacts. The screen cuts most of the names
off and many of the contacts share same name. I have to open the contact, to find out details in order to know who I'm looking for.
Any suggestions, much appreciated.
Did u try manually syncing gmail contacts under settings? Some times you have to manually push it. Also, what android version/ROM are you running?

Hi there
Yes, right after I made changes in my gmail contacts, I went to settings and did the Sync Now.
Let me explain what doesn't update exactly.
I have many phone numbers to HP staff. They used to be sorted like: James - HP, Azman - HP, Raymond - HP etc.... Because they were all over my address book, I rename it in gmail contacts to HP - James, HP - Azman, HP - Raymond. Having them all grouped together in my list, given the first letters are identical. It works great in gmail contacts, but out of these 3, only HP - Azman get updated after SYNC. The rest remain the same.
This is something I don't understand.
Thanks for taking the time and looking into my post
Cheers

For some effed up reason while editing an already existing contact android decided to take a rotten fart on me and every single one of my contacts and delete all them...
How can I get them back even the funambol way doesn't seem to wanna work right since this happened. It starts the import then imports then only 3 already existing contacts show up. None of my funambol contacts.
I just wanna take a brick to the face of whoever created the crappiest contact manager ever for android, import them through gmail then ya got to edit the numbers so on and et cetera, all pure horse crap rubbed in the face of every android user.
I've got them all backed up on my HTC HD2 Windows Mobile through Turbo Contact Backup as an xml file, but a lot of good that does me for my Dell Streak Mini if funambol doesn't wanna play nicely with others.
Any help would be great!
Finally got my contacts back, but now when I go to add a new contact, I have a bunch of "(Unknow)" contacts nothing in them or anything and they only show up when adding a new contact.
How can I get rid of these?
Have u ever thought of using a gmail acct to backup ur contact? U can also edit ur contacts thru the gmail and they will sync directly with ur phone.

ok...u want to be a smartmouth with me after i may have misread some of your post? do you look at your contacts in gmail through a pc? all your contacts should be there... if they are not properly syncing onto your phone, reset the sync option on your phone.. then reboot your phone and try it again.

Using HTC HD2 [Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock, Ubuntu and MccMBoXMaX SD] and Dell Streak (Mini) 5 [LXdroid 2]
is mobile 6.5 what your using?
My setup now is mainly Dell Streak (Mini) 5, I had to download contact remover and select all then unselect my contacts and click delete all selected. I don't use Google Contacts yet, due to past incompatibility issues, my contacts really need a cleaning, now invalid tags and what not from WinMo address book, but I'm to lazy to clean up 300 some odd contacts.
Had 1000 blank (Unknown) contacts that couldn't be seen by most android contacts handlers, if I had tried syncing then I'd have had that in gmail too not just my android phone book... I still say google has a lot of work to do on handling contacts.

Hi You can use Excel to view your contacts stored in XML.
then you can save that file as CSV, most compatible with all devices while restoring the contacts...
try and reply whether worked or Not...
