Dear all,
Did a search and could not find anything that related to my specific problem. So apologies if I did not look hard enough.. BUT...
I finally cleaned up all my contacts on google and synched my phone with googlesynch rather than sony synch. Great all fine, except.. if I create a contact in my x10, so someone calls me, I add their number as a new contact. When I next synch the contacts, the new contact has been deleted!
I can not for the life of me find any setting on the x10 which chooses how it synchs and why it keeps deleting the contacts!?
Any help advice would be appreciated...
What happens if u go to settings, data synchronization, google sync, n check the auto sync option n then add the new contact?
perhaps mayb try mess with the option at the bottom, group synchronization?
hope its of any use!!
Sent from my rooted x10i using swype via xda!!
Tried autosynch, and manual synch, and unselected all the group options. Stilll no joy. I presume this works fine for everyone else?

Yep, works fine for me.
i had this prob...
since then stopped using sync services..
whenever u need a backup of ur contacts, jus go to contacts tab and select backup to mem card.
a .vcf file is created in the storage card\system\pim folder which has all ur contacts..

Don't have my X10 with me at the moment but isn't there an option on which direction to sync? Directly on the X10 or on Gmail website settings?
Unless I'm thinking of Windows Mobile Device Center

I can't see that option on my Xperia, but not checked gmail settings as it either updates my phone if I create a contact in gmail or in gmail if created on my phone.
Hi all,
Could not find any settings to decide which way to synch. Hard Reset the phone and all works fine now! Thanks for all the suggestions though.
I had a slight suspicion it might have been to do with the googlemail.co.uk changing to gmail.com? But then why would the original synch work with the other contacts? maybe it would not allow googlemail account to add into gmail account?
Anyhow, after a full reset (and registering gmail on the phone) it seems to be fine now, touch wood(!)
Thanks again

Hi guys,
I've had my HD2 for almost 2 weeks now and am loving it! It's my first Windows Mobile device and I'm learning new things every day.
Everything is set up and working well *touch wood* but I have 1 slight problem. I've been sending/receiving emails via my btinternet account on the handset without a problem so far, but once I've sent out an email, there's no record of it on the handset. It doesn't show up in the sent box and, having had a look through the settings, I can't seem to find anything related to rectifying this type of problem. Am I doing something wrong and/or can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Yup i have the same issue, another bug, sure it will be fixed soon though.
Also you notice how it does not sync any of the other folder either, atl east on hotmail it does not.

Yep I'm having the same problem with my Gmail. The inbox syncs but no other folders sync even though I have selected them in 'Manage Folders'.
Yeah, I've noticed that. It's the same with Yahoo. I don't really mind that so much though to be honest. I just want the confirmation that my emails have been sent, it's very strange?!.
how have you managed to get your hotmail accounts setup on the HD2. i cant seem to connect to the server to sync my email? ive disabled the 'proxy' in the connections settings but still cannot set it up?
Could you pls give a step-by-step setup procedure?
its really appreciated, thanks

I'm also having problems getting my emails to come through. My btinternet email ones seem sporadic and I have to click on send/receive to get them to come through. My hotmail worked a couple of days ago but now nothing....and I know I've new emails. I keep getting the page appearing asking for my password and username poping up. Can't get it to sync at all. Whats the proxy setting you mention? Wheres that?
from inbox; menu/tools/manage folders, then tick the boxes to any of the fiolders you want synched and finaly refresh your mailbox.
By default, only the inbox is always synched.

The easiest way to synch your hotmail account is by using the windows live software on your Leo. Just enter your username and password and it will do the rest.

hi , thanks.
i honestly 'prefer not to' install all the live stuff... as i believe ppl here have been able to sync without installing this? would you know if this is possible (it would be better)?

You don't have to install anything, it's already there on your start menu. It simply automates your mailbox syncing.

Having the same problem, there's no tick box!
It is strange if you cant see the boxes at least for some folders. I have to choice for Inbox, Sent Items and Junk mail.
Anyway you can try to keep the finger on the folder to get context menu where are other Folder options. And there is something I would like to ask some advanced user - why I can switch there from "Download email headers" to "Download complete message" but nothing happens and from Hotmail account the phone keeps downloading just email headers. Btw. when using POP3 for my other email account I am able to set this option to Download complete message and YES, there it is running like a charm. But with Hotmail I am not able to succeed.
Anyone knows the clue?

got it working
ok maybe its a little late but i figured it out... ---> click on email--> click on menu--> new acc--> pick hotmail/live--> put login info--> if it goes to opera like it did to me or does appear below gmail or so forth on the email tab don't worry im gonna tell you what to do next--> find the windows live icon click it.. once ur logged in you will see Windows live Home follows by Messenger followed by sync--> click on sync--> a new option appears and it should be hotmail option to view your emails..--> now get out and go to your email tab..--> at this point your hotmail is sync to ur device and should be good to go..

thanks so much clown shoes this is so simple but so easy to overlook i spent hours before i found this now have my saved mails
thanks!
I second the above poster! The fix for this was so easy, but so incredibly counterintuitive that I don't think that I'd have ever gotten this on my own.
I am trying to get the incoming mail server settings for the mobile.msn.com so i can add a second account. Does anybody know these settings?
Hey,
I finally bought a new HD2
I've some problems,
1. I can't get Contact order to set as First Name First and Last Name last. Its just Last Name first now. How do I change that?
2. Also has anyone managed to get Google Exchange working properly? Im able to sync mails, but not Contacts or Calendar entries?
Will add more doubts if I come across.
P.S. Ive searched before posting. If I did miss, kindly show me the link

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.
Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.
for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.
^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?
I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

The problem exists in HTC's PEOPLE app but not in the CONTACTS app located in the Outlook folder in the START menu.

Copy and paste works fine for me in contacts, just tap on the field, then tap and hold, menu pops up and select Cut, Copy, etc...

hi
on my xperia wm phone i used groups added to my contects to be able to selecting
contacs... after exporting them to my google account i can still
see the groups if im online on gmail on my desktop pc.
but in my n1 there isnt a way to see the group of a concte rather to filter contects that way....
im missing it,any one a idea of how to solve that?
Very frustrating, especially when you have 100s of contacts...
No idea how to solve this
I too was frustrated with this especially since coming from the Hero groups were easily used. Have you guys tried Contacts GroupU it does the job for me.

Try using aContacts, supports groups, plus many more. I have been using it for months.
hi,
i found a way on the nexus one own adressbook...
you have to go to the contects then press menü -> setting -> the gmail account and there you can set which typ will be shown...
The problem is that when you enter a new contact, or edit an old one, you don't have the option to put it in a group...

But that just controls what contacts are shown in the Contacts app. All the contacts are still synced to the phone and will show up in search such as when typing a name into gmail or messaging. They need to add this functionality back in. Or we need to figure out how to ourselves.
Yep, the whole lack of any viable fully fleshed out sync with outlook is pretty painful for me and this is one of the reasons.

myPhone is a 2-way sync. This means if your contacts are on the website, they should be sent to your phone when you sync.
If not, either your contacts were never sent to the website, or they are stored in the website's Archive.
If you can't find them on the website, your contacts may be gone

Hi,
I have spent two evenings trying to reorganize my contact list and understand how the different backup solutions work. I have found a lot of advice, but none that seem to work on X10. I asked for help in SE support forum, but I doubt that they will answer.
So, what is the best option for backing up contact data?
SE sync:
+ contact photos are stored
+ keeps deleted contacts in the trashbin (nice when contacts have mysteriously disappeared from the phone)
- facebook and twitter connections are lost
- address entries do not seem to work (there might be more faulty fields, I didn't test all)
Google sync:
- does not seem to be able to sync entries/modifications from phone to gmail!
- contact photos are lost
- facebook and twitter connections are lost
Facebook sync:
I have matched my contacts, but can't see any effect of it on the phone, on facebook or on SE sync... But I'm a newbie on this one.
Edit: Does not work on 1.6, we need to wait for 2.1.
Backup to SD card, e-mail/transfer file to computer: (contacts -> settings -> backup contacts -> SD card)
+ reliable (?)
- seems to destroy contact images
- requires some manual efforts
- facebook and twitter connections are lost
Have you found any options that back up everything in a fast and reliable fashion?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I can't believe that I've got this right. I found this commercial slogan on so many websites: "You don't need to sync Android. Ever."
I can only comment on one aspect of your query and that is that Facebook sync only works for Android 2.?? so won't help you whilst your phone is on version 1.6.
Hope others can help you on the other side of things.

i have to say your wrong about google sync not modifying changes from phone to google. you have to enable auto sync to allow it, if not you have to run the sync manually from time to time.
i have never used facebook or SE sync and i seem to have up to the minute modifications both on phone and web using google sync.

Well, you're lucky. Auto sync is enabled. However, nothing moves from the phone to gmail - only the other way.
From what I have read on various forums, gmail only accepts contacts that were originally stored on gmail and then transfered to the phone. However, even such contacts are not synced back to gmail when I edit them on the phone. Perhaps my phone is buggy? I have specified the tests I have made (http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/6621#6621), but I'm not sure that anyone can help.

Facebook and twitter data are indeed stored in the .vcf file that the phone creates.
I don't want to risk losing my 500 contacts, so I haven't dared to import the whole file. I extracted one person and made a new file, but that file would not import. Please share your experiences!
