All,
I use an exchange server at work. Connecting to it and syncing my contacts has been a no brainer so far. However, one of the things that I've been doing lately is taking pictures of all my contacts with the Note's camera. Once I do that, I edit the contact on the Note and then set the contact's picture. This all works fine.
However, I expected that the image would be uploaded and stored on the exchange server so that when I log in with Outlook, the contact's image would be there on my desktop as well. That is not happening.
Am I missing something? Or does the Contacts application not have the ability to sync the photo back to the Exchange Server?
TIA!!

Hi i've a problem.
I insert some image in my contacts in the phone(x10 mini pro) but when i sync the contacts with gmail the picture doesn't sync with contacts in gmail.
I try the viceversa, if i gave a picture to a contact in gmail, when i sync I see that image in the cell phone.
Any ideas?
I've noticed that sometimes newly added pictures take a while to show up in Gmail, but they seem to turn up eventually - It's possible that it does a text-only sync first, then syncs the pictures later
Hi there,
i have a samsung galaxy s, and used to sync my contacts via samsung kies with microsoft outlook, that way i could reserve also my contacts thumbnails, howevere this method was annoying and took too much time, so i switched to syncronization with my gmail account.
every thing went ok, only one thing bothered me which is i couldn't reserve my contacts thumbnails this way. so every time i reset my phone or lost my contacts,
i noticed that it doesn't get back contacts thumbnails after resync with my google account.
Is there any thing i could do to make my phone sync contact photos also?
is there any tool or app which can do it?
thank you so much for helping.
Since I got this phone at release, I've been using HTC Sync to keep my local Outlook contacts and calendar synced to the thunderbolt and it has worked fine. Now my organization has finally gone from a legacy system to Microsoft Exchange, and so I set up push email, contact and calendars, and then exported/imports my local calendar/contacts to the Exchange account on my PC (email was migrated by IT). Only problem is, now I have duplication of calendar entries on my calendar app (which can be hidden but not fixed by unchecking the local calendar in calendar app settings) that I want to get rid of.
I also have duplicate contacts, only thing is the phone linked them so I have linked contacts with 6 entries (phone, exchange activesync, facebook, facebook for htc sense, linkedin, skype) which is ridiculous. Is there any way to delete only the contacts synced from local outlook in the past (which are true duplicates of exchange contacts), then relink everything with the social media (except maybe only have it sync with either htc sense facebook or real facebook) entries. Also, I'm not sure how the phone is treating newly saved contacts, I want to make sure they go to the exchange server, not google or phone/sd card.
A last annoying thing, I use the mail app and primary gmail is my default account ever since this happened, I want it to go back to being my organization account as before (except now that account is exchange not IMAP).
Thanks for the help
You are confusing an Android phone with something professional. It is not! Get yourself a windows phone and the problem will be solved.
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.
I have two Gmail accounts and when adding them to Outlook on my tablet, one syncs just fine (i.e. i can see all my emails), but the other doesn't sync at all. No emails show up in any folder. I tried removing both and just adding the one, but that didn't work either. However, i can see my google calendar though. Any suggestions? I tried comparing the settings on both accounts in gmail and everything is identical.
I would just use Gmail and not let it into or use Outlook.
If there are any vulnerabilities that can be exploited, Outlook is like a divining rod for finding them.
Keeping email in the cloud, and download only when absolutely necessary will save you a lot of grief.
Otherwise go to Event Viewer and see if there are any error messages associated with Outlook.
An email protocol is likely misconfigured.

Is the Gmail account that won't synch a work account?
