I use Google contacts sync, but I would try to use Samsung contact sync too. Therefore I made Samsung Account.
I cant find Android app, Win app or place on the Web (Samsung) where I can create Samsung contacts.
Trying to sync contacts on S3 gives me an sync error.
How to sync contacts between Google and Samsung account?

I have just got my SII and am trying to connect to both of my Google accounts - my Gmail account is the one I use for trash & Market, my Google Apps account is the one I need for email, contacts & calendar.
It syncs the Gmail account fine, connects to the Google Apps account fine but only shows Calendar & Contacts for sync, the email account is missing. I was using a Nexus One fine with both accounts but the SII just won't see the G_Apps email.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Handset from O2 UK, locked I assume.

O___o
That is a bit of a bummer. I use at least 2 Google Apps accounts... Though I'm pretty sure that this sort of functionality comes from the Google stuff, rather than Samsung...
Did you add them both in the same way?

prolly your are forgetting a checkbox... are you syncing both accounts?
in gmail app, under accounts do you see both accounts?
I have both a GMail account and a Google Apps account - both are syncing fine here, showing sync options for calendar, contacts and mail for both accounts.
So must be something specific to your setup - definitely not a SGS2 or Google limitation
Can't work out why this happened, it is working now so it may have been a setting or anything, I deleted the G_Apps account & added it again & it all worked.
Thanks
Just purchased a Streak running Android 2.3.3. I set up my gmail account on phone and everything looked ok. Mail and calendar appear to sync fine but only a few contacts synced. When I open Settings/Accts & Sync, the gmail account shows and sync is turned on.But if I open Contacts/menu/Accounts, gmail does not appear and if I try to add an account, gmail is not present as an option. How do I get the google contacts to sync?
If I remember right you have to go into your Google Contacts on a web browser and move all your contacts into your My Contacts area.
problem solved
I discovered the problem. I had used Root Uninstaller to freeze the Google Sync application at the time I was trying to reduce the apps I didn't think I would need. Now everything in sync. Thanks
We inserted SIM in my wife's new Nokia Lumia 800 and copied the contacts from SIM into the phone memory.
Now how do we set it up so that these contacts gets uploaded to her Google account and stays in (2-way) sync (i.e., between phone memory and Google)?
Your current contacts must be stored under a Live account then since you moved them to your phone with only a Live account added?
I think you will need to add your google account and move the contacts to that account. When you later add a new contact you can choose which account to add it to. In this case Windows live or Google. It will auto sync once setup.
i dont think wp7 lets you sync contacts with google
Add your google/gmail account and contacts should sync over automatically. You can sync gmail, google contacts and google calendar with WP7.
A couple of caveats. WL only supports one mobile number per person and if you have HTC garbage in your Notes field in google contacts you will receive an error and will have to clean up your google address book to remove the rubbish from the notes field, else it should work just fine.
It will sync them to your Live account. What you need to do is export them from your live account, then delete them from your live account.
Import them into your google account and re-sync your google account and Live account on your phone. This will remove the live account contacts from your phone and sync your new google contacts to your phone.
Thats it, now your synced to your google account.
Recently i cant seem to be able to sync my facebook friends into my galaxy s6 edge contacts, pictures names etc.

Someone told me its a google vs facebook thing is that true?

Same here. Uninstalled beta, installed the official version - no luck.
Hi all, new here and since Microsoft Outlook mail claims it's a Samsung issue and Samsung never answers, I hope anyone here knows what to do.
I use Outlook mail, and I had it always installed on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 mail app. It automatically synced my contacts and calendar also on the Samsung stock apps. Very convenient.
Now, however, it stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, but it constantly gives the message that it cannot connect to the server. I CAN set it up as IMAP, but that's obviously not what I want as it won't sync contacts and calendar.
After Microsoft claimed it was a Samsung problem I tried to set up the Outlook account via active exchange sync in the (terrible) Gmail app. Same result: cannot connect to the server.
I have used various configuration settings, incl. manual set up (eas.outlook.com, m.hotmail.com, etc.) and obviously the password is correct.
The Outlook app I now had to install does not sync calendars and contacts, by Outlooks own admission (seriously....?) so that's no option.
I want to simply connect my Samsung stick apps again to active exchange sync as it has always done. And Microsoft says its not them...
Anyone has any suggestion?
thanks!
