Hi,
Is there a method to sync Exchange GAL to contacts? Maybe a plugin for a new account type to sync it?

When you add an Exchange account, is there not an option for you to sync contacts?
Side note: for me, I do NOT have my Exchange account contacts synced, so my Exchange contacts do not show up in my Contacts app. However, when composing emails, the Intellisense in Email still auto-finds my Exchange contacts. So I find I don't need them synced anyways.

Hi All,
I have multiple gmail accounts that I use on my Atrix. Only one of the accounts, however, is my "primary" account where I have all my contacts set up properly, the others I really just use for email. For some reason, one of my additional gmail accounts had contacts sync activated and I want to remove JUST the contacts from that sync account. Would removing the sync account delete all the contacts (and other PIM data associated with that sync account) from my phone? I can always re-add the gmail account and make sure that only the email syncs.
Thanks!

Try tapping the the accounts icon in the main app screen....it'll list all your accounts....then tap on the account you want to modify...then uncheck everything you don't want it to sync.
I did that already as soon as I discovered those contacts, but they're still there...which is why i'm wondering if removing the account altogether will remove it's PIM data...
I think you have to manually delete them. I wanted to do this but having two accounts just kind of borks it and you have to live with it. It really isn't that big a deal. I mean you do have a backup account in case somebody hacks it or the server is down for one email account.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

There is an app in the market called "Contact Remover Plus" that will do just what you need. It's not free, but it works great. I had the same issue. It will allow you to remove contacts from only one account and also allows you to transfer them from one account to another.
I just got my View and set it up similiar to my Evo Shift with three email accounts..two exchange and one gmail. On the Shift I was able to select which Google components to sync (mail, contacts, calendar). Since I have almost 1000 contacts in one Exchange account I want that to be the only one I sync. I only use Google as a backup for contacts and don't use the calandra. I only need to sync mail. It appears that the View doesn't give me a option to select or unselect which Google components I want to sync and automatically sync'd the Google Contacts and mail and calendar. What did I miss? Anyone else notice this?
Root and delete the google contact sync adaptor apk (I think that's the name...it's been a while since I deleted it). You can also delete the google calendar sync adaptor apk and that will remove the sync options.

The instructions above give you the server settings to just set gmail up as an IMAP server in an email client. I am not sure how exactly it works on the view, but you should be able to set up these server settings manually in the mail client.
Hi all! I'm considering getting the Galaxy S III. It will be my first Android phone. I'm coming from an HTC HD2 (non-Android ROM's). I have some questions regarding how well the S III works with a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Contacts
1. Assuming I have no contacts on the phone, when I input my Exchange credentials and sync, will this populate the Contacts on the S III?
2. If I have multiple Exchange accounts, can I choose to sync contacts on one account but not the other?
Mail
3. If I have multiple Exchange accounts and a Gmail account, are all of these in one Inbox or do you have to go to different screens/apps to access the different accounts?
4. Does syncing of mail work instantaneously, i.e. if I read/delete an e-mail on my PC, will it immediately reflect on the phone?
5. Do you get "push" e-mail?
Calendar
6. Can the phone handle multiple exchange calendars and a gmail calendar?
Tasks
7. Are tasks and syncing of tasks supported?
Thanks,
Bump. Anyone?

1. Your contacts sync as long as you check the option off.
2. I only have one exchange account so I dont know the answer on this.
3. I have my gmail account set up using the gmail app so I don't know this.
4. Immediately as long as you have pushed enabled.
5. Yes, as long as you enable it.
6. It can handle my one exchange calendar and gmail calendar so I believe so.
7. Yes.
Could anybody say what is happening with the GMail account. I have my contacts in Outlook and synced them with my phone, then added the gmail account. After deleting gmail account from accounts in settings all my contacts are gone. What the ...???
A also noticed that when I have an existing gmail account I cannot set individual ringtone to a contact. When it's gone everything works. Anyway I don't want this gmail to sync everything, especially my contacts. Does anybody know why the hell on earth this crap is going on? Why can't I just use my contacts without gmail sync and other strange effects.

Yes happened with me too.
Totally idiotic.
And the worst part?
When I synced back the Google account... The contacts didn't come back properly.
All messed up and duplicates.
Idiotic.
Luckily I had taken a backup few days back and deleted all contacts and restored the backup.
I have totally disabled my contacts sync up with Google.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3
The only way that helped me is to sync my contacts with my outlook without creating gmail account, then set up all personal contact ringtones and only after that create gmail account in the phone without sync options.
I've had a look but couldn't find the answer ?
How do I get the default calendar app (or another simple app) to sync with Outlook.com calendars?
I want to be able to add events that will add to Outlook by default.
I've added my Outlook.com address as an IMAP account. Should I have chosen the Exchange account?
On a slightly separate note, will adding it as Exchange account allow me to have push notifications?
Thanks
Not sure about push notification, but adding an Exchange account on your phone would make your default calendar app sync with Outlook.com. You can even sync your desktop Outlook calendar with your phone's calendar app if your email provider has Exchange feature. If not, try something like Akruto.
Or you can also try to add Outlook.com account and see what will happen.
I've added my outlook.com at out as an exchange account but still nothing populated in the default calendar ?
Have you tried adding your Outlook.com address as Outlook.com account in your phone's settings?
You can also use AkrutoSync to sync Outlook with Android devices.
