[Q]Reactivate native ActiveSync support

Hey Guys
I have a big problem... with android 2.1 i expected to have native exchange support and eventually Moxier in parallel.
i use Hotmail with Active sync as my main central for all contact, email and kalender sync.
the problems with moxier are:
- contact editing only in Moxier contacts and not the social phonebook
- low res contact pictures
- no external programs have access on my calendar
- no email widget
- no emails listed in timescape and contact card
so my question: is it possible to reactiveate the integrated EAS feature of android 2.1 and if yes, will the data be visible in timescape or at least in the Mail and calendar application and contact cards?
nobody with a solution??
I haven't tried the following solution but you can give it a shot if you want. You have to be rooted.

i can use exchange with this but emails are still not shown in timescape/contacts and contact sync also doesn't work if i check it.....
other solutions? is there a source code of the SE Mail APP apk somebody could work with??
Push it...
Can anyone help?

[Q] Can't add facebook account - not through motoblur

I am trying to add my Facebook account to my Atrix. I click on the icon under Settings - > Accounts but nothing happens. I can only add Facebook through Motoblur. Anyway to fix this? The Facebook app from the market works fine and stuff but I don't get any of my contacts sync'd unless I add Facebook to my accounts list.
I too was experiencing this problem, it seems it's been disabled by disabled by motoblur (contacts won't show information from the facebook app such as statuses anyway as it is not the stock contacts app). I found a way around it and was using it temporarily to sync display pictures but since then facebook has been forced by google to remove the sync feature entirely, that function -should- be dead on all android devices at the moment.
Hope this helps

Edit: http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync/ Use this for almost all information except statuses which as I said won't work.

[SOLVED!] Running ICS Googlefree (at least Contacts and Calendar)

I just updated my Razor to 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU via OTA update.
ICS is quite nice.
I experienced some minor problems (peakfinder started to act sluggish and grabatron is not anymore fluid as before, but I can live without them!)
... actually the enhancement on Wify is relevant and it seems its the new platform, at least up to JB!
Actually a much bigger problem arised for me!
With GB I was able to keep my phone contacts and calendar synced with outlook without having to use the cloud (gmail).
I installed Motorola PIM sync app and using Motocast USB I succesfully synced outlook's contacts to the Razor creating a new account (Outlook Contacts) were I could easily add new contacts also directly from the phone and sync them back to outlook using the excellent MyPhoneExplorer.
Motocast USB is needed just for the first time (it creates the Motocast USB Outlook Contacts account), then I preferred using MPE as it allows you to sync also calendar, toDos, notes, sms and calls with my Pc locally (no cloud things!).
Keep in mind that while there are also other solutions, the Motocast USB account creation is the only one that let you add to it new contacts from the phone using the default contact app.
Strangely the default contacts app doesn't let you add new contacts to the phone account.
Using instead the standard gmail account without syncing it was not an option as I experienced it syncing with the cloud even if not told to!
With ICS I replicated all the process to sync googlefree but, while the process could be replicated ...wait! I'm not anymore able to add new contacts to the Motocast USB account from the phone!
Actually the Outlook contacts account is created, but I can't select it as an option to add contacts to it from the 'contacts' app.
.... this is the problem!
I'm also looking for solutions using alternative contact apps which could work on Motocast USB account, but, as the new ICS contact application is nice (finally I can search in all of the contact's fields!) I'd like to use it.
Anyone has a solution or an alternative working contact app?
'use gmail' answers not accepted! I didn't open this thread to discuss the opportunity of using gmail !
Solution: use go contact ex!
I just want to share the solution I found to my problem.
Actually I had to resign to the fact that it seems that the standard ICS contacts app doesn't let you add contacts to accounts other than the google one:
- Phone account (not visible from 'account manager' but actually is were Mobile Phone Explorer can add your contacts as an option instead of Google account). This was not possible either with GB
- Motocast USB account (still visible from account manager, but with ICS it's not possible anymore to add contact to it).
What did I do?
1) Deleted Motocast USB account (its now useless for my purposes)
2) Synced Outlook contact with the Razr stating that I wanted to add the contacts to the 'phone' account (not google/gmail)
3) Use Go contact ex to manage my contacs and specified in the options just to use 'phone' contacts and add contact to it (they had been synced to Outlook with no issues!)
This is not the kind of solution I preferred as I had to install an additional app, but, at least I succeeded in keeping my personal data away from the cloud (at least having the illusion of succeeding in it )

[Help] Contact's won't sync

Since I can't post in the thread of the rom: CyanogenMod 10.1 - WILD FOR THE NIGHT. I need help with syncing contacts on my device. I tried to import my contacts from Facebook but no matter what they will not import. I've tried Contact+ and UberSync which both claim to have synced them but however when going to check my contacts I do not see anyone, Which is a bummer.
Does anyone know a fix for this?
