[Q] Duplicate exchange account contacts and calendar events - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need some help here. I have been getting duplicate entries for my exchange account contacts and calendar events. As many as 3 per contact and event. I have tried deleting the account and set up again, but it will happen again a few hours later.
Help!!

+1 I am having this exact same problem. Maybe it has something to do with the migration to Office 365 servers... This multiplication of entries is driving me nuts...

I found a solution. Just flashed Crash ROM v8 based on LRK and problem solved no more duplicate contacts nor calendar items. I am happy again! 4 days now and everything is perfect

Calendar NOT Synchronizing

Hi All,
I have registered my Google Apps account on my LG P500.
This is the only account configured on the phone.
I have my contacts and mails synchronizing well with my phone, however my Calendar is just not synchronizing with the Phone.
I have upgraded the Phone to 2.2.2 and have done a factory re-set many number of times, however the Calendar is still not synchronizing with the Phone.
I at times see 2-3 Calendar entries synced with the Phone, but the complete Calendar is not Synchronizing with the Phone.
This same Google Apps account syncs well with my HTC Hero (2.1), including the Calendar.
Can someone please suggest a solution for this issue.
I almost want to throw the phone in the Bin.
PLEASE HELP.
Any chance you have multiple Google calendars and the phone is only syncing the main one?

I am not using any Desktop app for synchronization.
The Google Sync on the phone should be able to sync my Calendar.

Have you solved this?
Have you tried making your events visible in the calendar settings?

[VZW GS3] Duplicating Exchange Contacts

So I have three exchange accounts that sync with my phone. Only one is checked to handle contacts. A few days ago, I noticed I had 3 duplicates of my contacts when browsing my contacts, either directly from the contacts shortcut in my app drawer or via phone>contacts. I removed the account from my phone and readded it last night. Everything was fine until this morning when I noticed my phone was doing it again, showing duplicating contacts. Right now when I go down the list every contact associated with the exchange account is duplicated.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? If so, wanna share a fix?

Does the US version not have a Merge Duplicate contacts option under settings??

Thanks for the reply! I have 'Merge with Samsung account' and 'Merge with Google' as the two menu options with merging in them. Under 'Contacts to display' I have chosen only to show my exchange contacts for the account I sync contacts with, so I know these duplicates are coming from one exchange account only. Also when I look online at Outlook.com all my contacts are not duplicated.
I d this problem with doubles not triples...all i had to do was select Merge Duplicate Contacts and it went through my contacts and all the duplicates were gone.

I wish I had that option... I just noticed my calendar events (birthdays mainly) are duplicated as well.
I would try the merge with Google if you have not already.

Help! I am facing the same isues th Exchange contacts n calendars. I removed the exchnge account n resyn. It was fine for a while, and then double contacts n calendars started to appear.
Same issue here....
I have a company exchange account and hotmail (exchange)....with contact sync only with my company account.
All the sync options are properly set for both of these accounts.
What i notice is that after a day or so... I will see my hotmail reloading all emails then duplicate contacts start to appear on my contact list.
It's weird because my contacts are from my company's not hotmail.
I have a similar setup on my last phone (Galaxy Nexus) and I do not have the duplicate contact problem.

[Q] Calendar Sync Problem

I don't recall this being a problem on my previous android devices.
Calendar entries made online in Google Calendar sync back fine to my phone. However, if I create an appointment in my GN2 calendar, it doesn't sync back to online google calendar. I thought maybe it was just the calendar app problem, but I installed Jorte calendar and it behaves the same way? Am I doing something wrong? I can't find any settings to speak of in the calendar app.
When you are creating your appointment, are you choosing your Google calendar at the top of the page?

Ouch, I didn't know that you had to do that when entering appoints directly into the phone calendar app. What a Gomer I am. Tried your fix and it works fine!
Thanks!
By "your Google calendar", do you mean any google acccount [email protected]? I am trying to work with the stock calendar, and DigiCal.
I am having similar issues, can't sync back to the PC with events entered on my Note 2.
I notice that the account I think I should be using has a long random (not mine) string of characters like [email protected] as the adddress. Is that normal or a sign that something is screwed up?
I just want to sync event to my PC calendar from my phone.

E-Mail app syncs Exchange account randomly although frequency set to never

Hi,
I have set up a Microsoft Exchange account in the standard E-Mail app on my Galaxy S4 4.3 (Google Edition Jamal v2 final). Sync is on and E-Mails, Calendar and Contacts are checked for syncing.
As long as I am not traveling I have set up the "Inbox check frequency" to "never". This normally prevents the E-Mail app from synching my E-Mails.
But at random times it suddenly just starts to sync my E-Mails. It is like 1 or 2 times per day. I can not find out what exactly leads the app to sync my E-Mails although I have set the frequency to never, but it happens mainly during usage.
I experienced the same bug with my Galaxy Nexus, which I had before.
Note: When I open the E-Mail app manually it syncs the E-Mails just as it should.
Does anyone have experienced the same bug?
Felix
