Ok so i have my touch synced to my hotmail account and on my laptop i have the outlook plugin to sync my hotmail account.
i have a copy of my contacts on my outlook for back up so when my phone sync i get double contacts from syncing to the hotmail account and when i plug my phone to the laptop to sync.
is there anything i can do so i wont have to keep deleting double contacts? every time it sync's to either one.
Disable "Sync Contacts" on your device.
when i do start / programs and go under activesync when i click on menu / options then uncheck contacts it give me
to proceed activesync must remove all contacts synchronized to our device, i dont want to remove them from my device.
is there another way?
You should select Options - Settings - and under "If there is a conflict", select the corresponding options to resolve your issue.

Hi all,
I've setup the Outlook Email to sync with my exchange server at work... however, it has syned my calendar and not emails (i only wanted it to do emails). For some reason, it's saying the details are not correct (yet it's capable of syncing calendar). Anyway, I've told it not to sync anything (so I won't receive them anymore) but how do I remove the account from my phone?
Thanks,
Amnesia
ActivSync
Strangely it's done from within ActiveSync and not the messaging app.
I found out after trying to setup direct push yesterday.
If you click the bottom right softkey in active sync and choose options or somthing(i forget exact item) you can change/remove accounts from there, and even change what items it syncs (calendar/contact/mail/etc) by just ticking and unticking them.
cheers mate! I'll give that a try.
Hi, everyone. I'm using this phone for a couple of weeks and i cannot say that i am not happy. There are some problems but i'm trying to fix them. One of the problems is that when i connected to my MSN (Windows Live Messenger), all my MSN contacts were downloaded and added to my main telephone contacts. Every time i am searching for a friend to call and go to contacts, i see 200 useless MSN contacts. Is there a way i can set my contacts only to show my real contacts and not MSN friends? Also, is there a way to show or select only SIM contacts and not ALL?
I don't use MSN but I suspect there are sync settings that you can turn off contacts from syncing.
You may want to consider "MyPhone" for syncing contacts.
Also, these devices suck out of the box so you may also want to consider a custom ROM, eventually.
I have deselect Contacts to be Sync under "Microsoft MyPhone", but still i cannot uncheck the option to save my contacts under "Windows Live" Options.
Apparently once your sync options are set in Windows Live, they are no longer configurable (greyed out).
I see 2 possible options;
Clean up your MSN list, or..
Hard reset and cofigure not to sync contacts from MSN.
When I try to select the contacts for my phone I only have "all contacts" offered for my gmail active sync connection. I don't want to sync all contacts but just one category which I have set up especially for my phone's phone book.
Is there any way to facilitate this?
My current workaround is: sync contacts with google sync instead of active sync. Then I can select exactly the category I want to "see". This way I have to live without "push" though - which I don't really like.
Hi,
I wan't to sync more than just one contact folder with my outlook through activesync.
In my outlook I have contacts and 2 more contact folders.
one Is the same level as contacts and the other is it's subfolder.
neither one seems to sync with android excepts original contacts.
when I go to contacts -> menu -> display options -> my outlook account I can only check all contacts to sync.
and under my google account I can check any contacts folder I have on gmail.
I use Froyobread v017 and build-in mail application.
Mail and original contacts folder sync ok.
I couldn't find any settings to enable syncing of other folders in my phone, neither any solution on xda or google.
So any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Try "My Phone Explorer". I use this for syncing my Outlook-Contacts, but I don't know if it supports multiple folders, cause i only have one. But you could give it a shot.
Just google for it. You can find a client in the market.
Thank you, but I'm not trying to sync with my comp but directly with my company's exchange server.
