Hello
I have my Lumia800 for almost two weeks and there's something that scares me.
I had a Nokia N8 and have 1041 contacts in that phone. When I bought Lumia800, with “transfer”, I’ve send all of them to my new phone, and now I have all my phone contacts in Lumia. But, somehow, only 200 contacts are synchronized with my Windows Live account (the one that I use on my mobile). I’ve tried lots of things, even create a new Windows Live account but the problem persists.
I want to be sure that, if something happens to my Luma800, I have all of mine 1041 contacts somewhere.
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advanced
Lea
I forgot to explain that When Lumia is clean (with no contacts), no error appear when trying to synchronised hotmail account. After my contacts when put in my Lumia (using Transfer application), it appears “error code 86000108).

Do you use MSFT Outlook? You can sync your N8 contact to Outlook then use the MSFT Outlook Hotmail connector to sync w/ Windows LIVE acct and then to your phone.

I've tried that also, and the problem continues.
Sync them with Google instead, see if that works properly?

Gmail works just fine. Althought I continue to receive that error (Windows Live error 86000108), e-mail and calendar works just fine. I’ve done all the steps recommended by Microsoft Support but my 1041 contacts don’t appear. Just 200.
I even start a new hotmail account to be sure that there wasn’t any hidden e-mails or links. My Lumia was reset three times. When I start the phone with no contacts, that error doesn’t appear when I try to synchronize Windows Live account and my Lumia. Right after the contacts are transfer to the phone, that error starts to appear and only 200 of my 1041 contacts appear on my Windows Live account.
Is there a way to synchronize my contacts with my gmail account?
Are the contacts copied alphabetically?
There might be a problem with the last (or the next one) contact copied. Maybe some foreign character causing an issue?
no, the contacts are not copied alphabetically. And all the names are Portuguese (i'm portuguese)
You will essentially have to go through each contact that was copied, as it is either corrupt or contains information that Windows Live/Phone does not support. More than likely you should start with the last copied contact, if you know what that is, otherwise, you should erase all the contacts you have and start all over again.
I don't know if the transfer program is capable of transferring select contacts rather than just all, but try 10 or 20 contacts at a time. Then sync. If it syncs successfully, then do another group of 10 or 20 until you find the one that is not syncing properly. If you find the one that doesn't sync properly, then don't sync it, and do that one manually.
The transfer program doesn't allow to chose contacts

Hi,
Since installing windows 7, I'm only getting a one way sync (PC to Phone) on my Outlook calendar. I use Outlook 2007 and this was working fine from Vista but now appointment entered on my phone don't copy across. Any ideas? Am I missing something really simple?

I am having the exact same problem.
Reading up on it, I found the solution. When creating a calendar event, you must select (the tab before you name your even) Outlook. This way, the events can be transferred to MS Outlook. For some odd reason, when I selected my gmail account, I get a contact error. I guess you can't have both?
There are separate calendars on your Hero. The Google one syncs with the Google calendar you have with your google account. The Outlook one syncs with Outlook. It means you can, for example use the Google one for your personal appointments and Outlook for work. You can set the calendar to show either or both at the same time.
Hi All,
I am looking for an application that allow me to sync Outlook
with X10 Mini (contacts and Calendar).
I found android-sync but it sync the contacts only.
It is not able to sync the calendar.
Do you have similar problems?
How can I sync phone with outlook?
/Francesco
I use android-sync and this is what I have found out:
- on one computer with Windows Vista and Outlook connected to an Exchange server, it can sync contacts only;
- on another computer with Windows 7 and Outlook using only local folders, it can sync contacts and calendar.
However there is no option to choose what range of dates to use in the sync, it doesn't sync recurring events, tasks or anything else.
I have tried to contact the developer using the email address reported on his website to discuss a couple of bugs but he has not replied to my message at all. On top of all this he also let the application expire at the end of August and uploaded a new version only a few days later so for several days I could not sync at all as I was getting an error message asking to download a new version that didn't exist.
To be honest I think he has lost interest in developing the application. It's a pity because there is basically no alternative. The fact that SonyEricsson has not included any way to perform local synchronisation with this phone is shameful.
Ciao.
Has anyone solved the sync problem?
I use an Outlook plugin called gSyncIt. Cost $15 but worth every penny.
I have 2 calendars and 2 sets of contacts in Outlook, personal and work related. On my google account I simply created 2 new calendars and this program syncs the Outlook calendar of my choice to the Google calendar of my choice.
Once it's on my Google account Android sync gets it to my phone no problems.
It'll also sync contacts/tasks etc
Perfect for me - it means I can use Jorte on my mobile to view my personal Outlook, my shared office calendar and all my shared google calendars at the same time.

But the whole idea was to sync in a way that avoids giving your soul away to the devil. If there is ONE company in the world that I don't trust, that company is Google. Local synchronisation keeps your data to you. That's why it is so important to have Android-Sync or some other workable alternative...
My troubles with Android-Sync continue! Suddenly my phone does not connect anymore! On the phone I get the message that Android-Sync is connect but on my pc the Android-Sync interface behaves as if there is no phone connected. I haven't installed or changed anything on either phone or PC, abd.exe is running and the Windows device manager doesn't report any problems.
I am really losing patience with SonyEricsson and the lack of local synch. I might stick to Android in the future but HTC supports local synchronisation so I will be looking at other phone manufacturers.
what's the outcome? is there a way for a local sync?
I'm a real newbie concerning android but i found in the market this free program called 'My Phone Explorer' and it syncs all my outlook contacts and calender entries without a problem either through wifi or usb cable.
android sync
Just to say I've tried today android sync to synchronize contacts and calendar from my corporate outlook (did not want to sync with google for obvious reasons..).
And it works like a charm !
Here's the link : http://www.android-sync.com/ (it's free)
Connect your mini with USB debug ON.
Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to synchronise The new Mozart 7 with Outlook for contacts and calender ?
Thanks.
That is the way I have got my contacts etc onto my Mozart ignoring the sim card route although it was via work Outlook by Exchange
The only way I managed to do this was to setup a hotmail account and copy all of my contacts within outlook. Provided you have the outlook connector installed you can add the new hotmail account to your mozart and the next time you sync it will transfer over all your contacts and appointments.
unfortunately i have the 64-bit microsoft office, outlook doesn't work with wmdc or seemingly anything else, never has worked and microsoft seems in no hurry to fix this, oh well, luckily most fo my contacts were in my windows live ID so it all got synced
I've got it syncing via exchange. Have to say for all it's failures (it is going back sadly) at least it syncs outlook flawlessly but then it is a Microsoft product..
Have sync'd two exchange accounts, contacts, calendars... and it's smart enough to not double up on duplicate contacts.
There is no ActiveSync possible in WP7. You have to sync via some sort of online service (Hotmail, Gmail, Exchange, etc).
FYI, even Microsoft recomend against using Office 64bit unless you are working with mega huge spreadsheet type data (4GB+ files).
how to sync notes and tasks from outlook 2007 to WM7?
does anyone know how to do a GAL lookup after you setup the device with an exchange account?
Synchronization with Outlook
Hello,
It's possible to calendar, contact...
1) You must add a microsoft plugin in Outlook 2010 (Outlook.Connector)
2) Create a new account (ex : [email protected])
(This account should be the same as WM7 phone account)
3) The news informations of calendar or contacts are send in account @live.fr
when you click on SEND/RECEIVE
4) You start "Hotmail App." on the mobile (with your account) and you synchronize.
5) The news "Outlook Informations" are now in your mobile phone
Best regards

I have my phone setup to sync my Outlook contacts, calendar and e-mail via ActiveSync and my Hotmail account. This appears on the phone as a Corporate Exchange account using MS servers, but in reality it is just the Hotmail cloud (no Exchange client). It works fine for me (although contact photos only sync from Outlook to phone, not vice-versa), but I have a problem with contacts I create on the phone. There is no way to assign them to an account so they end up not syncing to my Outlook, which only syncs contacts bearing the corporate symbol or that have been joined from Facebook to an existing Outlook contact. I've looked all over and not found any way to either create a contact on the phone under a specific account or to convert one after the fact. The only workaround I have found is to create a new contact in Outlook with the same name, wait until it syncs to the phone, then join it with the existing contact on the phone. This is obviously not optimal. Any ideas?
I'm looking for information on this as well.
In my case, my calendar, contacts, (tasks?) and email are all being syncronized via corporate exchange. I try to use my corporate exchange as my base point, so I would like to keep my contacts there by default.
When creating a new contact, I do not see how to designate where the contact is to be stored. I would think I would be given the option to save it under:
Exchange
Gmail
or phone.
I thought this used to be an option, but I'm not seeing it under the latest Unamed ROM.
Has this option been removed? or am did I ever have that option?
I have a suggestion but I'm not sure it's exactly what you're looking for. I don't use exchange server email so I don't know if this is what you need.
I sync all of my contacts and calendar to Outlook using MyPhoneExplorer. you can get the app for free in the market and download the program directly to your computer (do a google search to find their website to download the desktop version). If your phone is on the same (wifi) network as your computer you can even sync wirelessly. It syncs perfectly in both directions - phone to computer and vice versa.
hope this helps.
I've also heard that the Kies program works. It can be downloaded from the Samsung website.
Under sync settings, I unchecked the contacts sync for Gmail so now by default all new contacts are saved to Exchange.
Found it,
Maybe NOT synching the Gmail account, made this option available but suspect it was just buried deeper than I remember.
I thought this used to be a context option.
In Contacts
Settings (leftmost key button)
More
Settings again (bottom of list)
Save new contacts to.....
Now, what was that darn password I needed to save again....?
Oh-Yeah, Netflix....
Iqak, that did the trick. I knew I was able to do that before, but why I couldn't find it before is beyond me. Thanks.

I use to use MPE on my Captivate and it was a bit of a pain. I also had issues with it losing contacts and/or scrambling them up. Using ActiveSync with Outlook is the best way and thanks to Iqak I have it working as it should.
Hi
I just bought this HTC Mozart 7 yesterday and I dont know how do I sync my windows contacts. I got those contacts from my Iphone and i am very new to windows mobile
I dont have windows mobile center in my PC and I tried downloading zune (i dont know if that is helpful) but somehow it doesnt detect my handset
you can import your contacts from your Sim-card, than save them to your Windows Id account and edit in the Windows page. You'll have access to your mail, Skydrive, contacts...
You can also import contacts from facebook or other services like google...
I never use a iphone so I can't help you to transfer contacts by wifi, but it may be possible
O my god
Is that the only way ? Hell I am starting thinking of selling this phone, it is so complicated.
I dont have data plan i dont know how do I import
The future for PC and smartphone are Cloud services, so you will always need a good data service or wifi spots
Zune is also nice. It backup's all your data to your PC by usb connection.
You can also use outlook to edit your contacts; name, phone, email, address... and WP7 will import everything to your phone.
The oldest way to transfer contacts is by Bluetooth but only customized rom's lets you transfer data. I think it's not possible in iphones.
Don't give up, it seems complicated but its very easy, and as a lot of vantages. Old days when an accident append to your phone you would lose all contacts and data, now, with cloud services they are always protected.

found this on a web site
" To be able to synchronize contacts from an iPhone into Windows Phone 7 "
This is a three step move, with several minor details.
Let's begin :
1 - Start by install the iTunes on your PC :
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Next, connect your iPhone to your computer and then wait for it to show up as a device in iTunes.
Once connected, click on the "Info" tab and go down to "Contacts". Select to sync contacts with Outlook and then sync your iPhone.
This operation will copy all contacts from your iPhone (including contact pictures, if you use them) to the Outlook Contacts folder.
Just need to make sure that the contacts were sinchronized to the Outlook.
2 - The next step is to install the Outlook Hotmail Connector, depending on your Windows Version, 32 or 64 bit :
Download details: Outlook Hotmail Connector 32-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...89-af2e-41f9-a175-f93e1377959f&displaylang=en
OR
Download details: Outlook Hotmail Connector 64-bit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f4-f4bf-4751-954b-5b36d80ec375&displaylang=en
You must restart Outlook and configure a new account, Hotmail, using your Hotmail username and password.
At this point, you are connected to the Hotmail.com service using Outlook, meaning you can send and receive e-mails from Outlook and to synch contacts
3 - You can now start the next step.
In Outlook, scroll to the Contacts of your Usual Mailbox and select all, by pressing CTRL+A and hit CTRL+C.
Scroll to the Contacts inside the Hotmail Mailbox on your Outlook and press CTRL+V.
Outlook will copy all the contacts to the "Cloud". Your Hotmail contacts folder online is the destination.
On your Windows Phone 7 device, click the Right Arrow ( à ) and then choose "Hotmail".
Press the Sync button and that's it.
there is an app in the marketplace for that
