Hi all!
I prefer to have a centralised contact list on outlook (for the sake of compatibility with most things out there), and sync the hero to it.
In my sync settings, I have specified the newest contact to overwrite the older one.
However with some contacts, no matter how often i update them on the hero, they get overwritten by the older pc/outlook data.
Only way around is to either create a new contact, or set the conflict policy to overwrite pc data from phone.
Any idea why?
Does anyone know of any software that will easily allow me to export contacts from one ROM and import it to another ROM so i don't have to keep re-entering data.
The reason behind this is because i'm still hunting for that perfect ROM, and I need to be able to take the contacts from one to another, I suppose i could put them on my SIM card but was just wondering.
You may use Microsoft MyPhone or PimBackup.
I use MyPhone because I find it more practical since it keeps you an online copy of all the info you want to backup/sync, and there's also the archive feature, among other interesting things.
a good way is to synchronise with outlook (contacts, calendar etc).
Hi all,
There's only one thing stopping me buying an s2 and that's the android issue with undeleting exchange messages. On standard android if you delete a message in you exchange inbox (android client) by mistake you cant move it back to your inbox (or do anything useful with it). Has samsung fixed this in their flavour of android? HTC did it by replacing the exchange client with a sense version but I have no way of knowing (my searches dont find the answer) if samsung has done the same in touchwiz.
Any help for this heavy exchange user would be more appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
Just tested, and no probs going into the trash folder and choosing to move it to any folder. (sgs2 uses social hub email client now for exchange, unlike sgs1 which used stock email client mainly with the option of social hub one).
Thanks Tony, think it's time to order for me
I recently solved a real pain of an email issue I was having, and wanted to pass along the experience. I had tried searching these forums for several days, but didn't quite find my problem, and didn't find the solution all in one place. With that in mind, I'm hoping this information helps someone, even if a bit of it may be covered in other threads (sorry if so).
I had upgraded recently to JB 4.1.1, and was having a lot of problems getting my corporate/exchange email account to work. The calendar and contacts would work sometimes, and the email never got past the "waiting for sync" screen. Anytime the calendar and contacts would work, they would break after a reboot of the phone.
I also found that sometimes exchange account would stick around after it stopped working, and other times it would disappear (from the Android settings > accounts list) completely. I had set the accounts up both through the stock email app, and through a third - party email app (Enhanced Email, a good app).
I tried deleting and recreating the accounts, with varying settings (port numbers, accepting all security certificates, etc.). Later on, I went to my company's online web access for Exchange, and deleted all the mobile connections so that it would create a new connection for my current phone and ROM. I recreated the account (for what seemed like the 50th time) after that. Still no good.
The thing that made the difference: I finally read a tip somewhere to force stop the (stock) email client, and clear its cache and data. After that, the email app needed to be set up again, but email synched for the first time since I installed this ROM, and my calendar and contacts work reliably. It's been several days and reboots, and no further problems have come up.
I hope this helps someone, and again, apologies if the information is duplicative. I couldn't find it all in one place, and was really beating my head against the wall trying to find a fix.

Hi there, I think im glad i found this thread although not sure it will help with my corporate mail problem. My problem exists only with contacts not syncing from my corporate exchange account. My mail and calendar is ok just no contacts sync.
You mention to force stop the stock email client, can you advise the steps and exact name of the process? Do you mean in manage apps - All - Email ? I cant seem to stop that process its all greyed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, due to my role i really need my exchange contacts to sync.
Cheers,
Hi guys,
My experience is different.
If you have problems to sync your email you need to clear all previous mobile connections from outlook (via outlook web access) and set up your account from zero on the device.
Quick question why do you use a third party email client? Do you have Samsung device? Got the same problem and had to move to a asop (CM10)
Samsung email client and exchange doesn't work well since the original Galaxy.

solution for me
For me what solved was a solution I found in another post here in the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774978&page=2
In summary:
"Settings --> Data Usage --> Menu --> and check Auto Sync Data
Try setting up Exchange account again and you'll see the prompt to activate a Device Administrator this time. "
Hello
I’m using the native Android email application in ICS 4.0.4 to manage my work’s email account ! Not a single problem during the configuration and the syncing for the first time, all folders and emails has been downloaded successfully! But after I used it for about a month and eventually made some changes in the folders organization (Renaming, moving, deleting some of them) Nothing changed in the Email App ! The old folders still appears and only some of the new one are there !!!
Anyone have any idea how to make a full sync to get rid of the old and get instead the new folders apart from deleting and recreating the account again ??
Thanks
