Try to give the mobile phone numbers different types like . home work car or whatever.. works for me..
but there are differeantly limits in email and mobile numbers.
have for example phone synced with google and outlook.com and they are not the same for a test account.
and it also has problems refreshing.. as far as outlook.com concerns

Hi everyone,
I just got my hero and now I'm wondering is there any way to sync my thunderbird with the email client on my htc hero ?
I want to import all emails with folders and contacts .... But until now it seems impossible
If anyone has an idea please share with me.
Thanks
If you're willing to sync your Hero with Google, then it's easy:
- sync your mail (and SMS too!) to Gmail, and then TB can access them from Gmail via IMAP. And vice versa.
- sync your Contacts toGmail contacts, and TB can access them via the Zindus plugin. and vice versa.
This is the setup I used but I have experienced a lot of problems with the contact synchronisation. I had a few contacts who have been deleted from my address books, I think due to the fact that not all fields in Thunderbird map 1 on 1 with gmail contacts. I had the settings in Zindus set to manual and warning for conflicts but still a few problems. I have now stopped syncing the thunderbird contacts with gmail contacts. If I have a new contact I will enter it in both gmail and thunderbird. The Zindus sync helped me alot for the initial sync because I have more than 800 contacts in my Thunderbird
Grtz
thanks for the warning...

Hi Peter, if you have experienced problems with sync, please consider filing a bug report and we will get to the bottom of it, see:

I am having trouble syncing my contacts that I inputed on my Atrix to Gmail. Even if the contact is Linked to both Phone and Google, none of the contacts show up on Gmail from my computer, but if I add a contact from my computer, it shows up on my phone. How can I sync from my phone to Gmail? btw, this is my first Android device.
Thanks.
I have exactly the same issue and it's driving me nuts! Creating a new contact on the phone adds it to the "Contacts" group but there doesn't seem to be a way to get that to sync with google/gmail. Have you found a way around this?
Ok, my phone auto syncs it with contacts and gmail, but I think I know why yours isn't.
Open the contact and verify that it has a linked profile to your google account. If it does not, then link it.
If it does, go to settings > accounts > gmail account
Hit the menu button and sync. Log into your gmail account on the desktop version, not mobile version, hit contacts, click all contacts and verify.

If I create a brand new contact I can't link it to gmail because the contact does not exist in gmail. Your method only works if I have the contact in gmail/google also.
Anyone solve this yet? I'm dealing with 150 contacts or so that were imported from a sim card and trying to figure out how to get them into gmail.
I think I might be able to do export all contacts to a file, then email it to myself, then import all contacts to gmail but I'm trying to avoid CSV errors.
thunderbolt
I am having the same issue in my thunderbolt. I just rooted it and when I went to look for a contact that I added when I got the phone I realized it never was sent to my gmail account and now it is not synced.
Thunderbolt
Through some searching I found that the thunderbolt defaults to a "phone" contact when you enter one on the phone. You have to select it as a Google contact before you even put it in the phone. You can't change this after putting in the contact. I'm glad I found this out early enough so that I only lost one contact.
I had this issue and found how to solve it:
Open ContactsApp->Menu->More->Settings
Here each phone is a bit different but you will be able to choose how to set your new contacts, whether it will be on your phone contacts, a specific gmail account or all.
In My Motorola Atrix, it automatically saves to contacts (and cannot be removed) and if you have more than 1 gmail account it all gets mixed up there and you should add/select the right one.
Hope it helps.

This is the correct method and set by default on the Atrix.

Make sure FACEBOOK is added under MANAGE ACCOUNTS and then look at DISPLAY GROUPS to select ALL CONTACTS.

Just to be clear, we are talking about viewing contacts on your Atrix and not viewing contacts on GMail on your PC. The point being that Motoblur does not push contacts from the various Social Networking accounts to your Google hosted Gmail contacts. I think you already know that but wanted to be sure. Did you try to delete your FB account on the Atrix and re-add. Also, and this should not make any difference, but I do not have the FB app installed. I find it a bit useless.
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.

Hello guys!
I am a big android fan and my old phone was the LG nexus 4.
I got now the samsung galaxy s3 from my work place so I won't be using
the nexus anymore.
Because it's a phone from work I'll need to configure two emails:
work email and my gmail.
In the nexus I had only one email address (gmail) and everything was synchronized to there ...
contacts, google play and much more.
I want in the new galaxy s3 devise to have the gmail account as primary but to configure also the work email:
to have contacts from gmail and the work contacts all together under my phone contacts
and to have seperation .. if I add a contact I want it to be synced only to my gmail contacts for instance.
so on the one hand, I want to have both mails and functionality on the same phone
but on the other hand a way that I can seperate between the two.
Thanks alot you guys!
It should have another E-Mail app installed.
You can use this or download another E-Mail app if you don't like the stock app.
Then you should be able to configure your work mail in this app, shouldn't be very hard.
I don't think you can also synchronize your work contacts. Maybe if you use Exchange, I'm not sure.
But you could just add your work contacts to your Gmail contacts and add them to a Work contact group.

thanks for the quick response,
any mail app recommended?
Also,
How do I add my work contacts to my gmail contacts without doing so one by one?
(is there some kind of export?)
thanks!
I'm on a custom ROM and using the stock Android mail app, but K-9 Mail is very good mail app.
I think, you should be able to import your work contacts.
However, I don't exactly know how you would do that. But I'm sure, you'll find an answer with Google.
thanks alot m8
I will try and update
Hi hope someone can offer some advice?
I have a LG G3 and use the inbuilt contact apps synced with my G Mail account. For work I store my contact in Outlook 2003. Ideally I would like somehow to keep my personal contacts in my Gmail account and then have another contact app running on my mobile which I can sync with Outlook on my PC.
Can this be done and if so what app would you recommend.
Many thanks for your help.
