Sorry for the noob question: How to I sync my Contacts over from my Nexus?

I am sure it's been covered, but I can't sync this to get my Google contacts for anything. I keep getting error code: 0x80072ee7
This is my first WimMo phone so go easy!

go to your gmail on your pc, then you want to go to contacts, then export contacts, and save them as an outlook file...then you want to log into windows live (if you dont have an account, make one up, and you can still use another email (you dont have to use a hotmail account), then after loading your contact file into windows live on your pc via the web, then you want to open windows live on your phone, and log in, then your contacts will sync, and be saved, like google, on windows live....
your lucky i was in a helpful/good mood because i just picked up my HD2, this all is windows help search away...
although you might have done this, a bit more info on how you got the error would be good...

There was a good thread about this in the HD2 General forum, unfortunately I can't remember the title. You can probably find it with a good search. It's within the last few days.
Basically.. in Settings -> Data Services -> ActiveSync, you can set up an email account that links to your gmail account and syncs the contacts. The account type should be Exchange. That's as much as I can remember. Just do a thread search, you'll find it.

if your contacts are on your gmail account, you can install SEVEN from here (You have to join their beta program and once you do, you can click on the "download software" link. Please select the consumer edition, and agree to the terms (read them carefully first, the reason is explained below). When you do you will be presented with the choice to receive a text message on your phone or other download options, select other download options, select HTC as the manufacturer and select either the P3450 or the T8282 as your model (the HD2 is not officially supported, but it works well at least on mine) and then you can download the cab.
The catch with SEVEN is that when you set up your account, it will send a text message to a number in the UK, they do that to register your phone on their system, and they only do it once per email account, although if you flash your phone and reinstall SEVEN, it will send the message again when you add your account again.
When you set up your account, you will be able to sync your email, your contacts and your calendar, and it will be setup as push. You can do this with gmail, AOL, yahoo, hotmail, and even custom accounts.
Hope this helps.

Phone the sound of it, you already set up an activesync to get your gmail email/contacts/calendar. I'm guessing you didn't unselect 'tasks.' If that is the case, then just go to activesync and in options, unselect 'tasks.' This should fix your problem (google doesn't support tasks so you can't sync them).
You can also deselect the tasks in data settings in the settings tab.

how to transfer contacts from winmo to android

am having trouble transferring my contacts from winmo to android can anybody tell me wats the easiest way to do this..

answer
When you syncronise your pc with window mobile using window mobile device centre on the window mobile device centre go to mobile device setting--more --change exchage server setting--on the server address type m.google.com--tick use encryption SSL then type your google user name and password on the domain type google.com.
Syncronise with google account.so all your contacts in window mobile contacts will be saved or uploaded in google account.
Then when you setup google account using same account syncronise in android device.(setting--accont syncronise)
Thats it ..jobe done my friend

Activesync to m.google.com with Google account, then in Android sync with google account in android settings.

create a gmail account and upload them to it from a pc, you can sync winmo with your pc's address book then upload them into your google account then when you get in android you can just log into the google account and it'll pull them down.
*or create an google active sync account in windows mobile*

I use Google sync normally, BUT to get contacts from Winmo to Android, just use HTC Sync, and set it for outlook, Sync to pc with Winmo, than Android, and there u go

[Q] How to synchronize contacts

Hi, I have used standard Outlook contacts synchronization through Windows Mobile Device Center on my WM 6.5. However, as this is not working with WP7 and I don't have activated version of WP in order to synchronize through live, is there any other way to get my contacts into WP7? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
For contacts and calendar sync I use hotmail account.
First I installed small app called Connector. After Outlook restart you will be prompted to configure Hotmail account. After it is finished you will see in Outlook new tree with your hotmail. When you add there contacts and calendar tasks they will be synchronized with hotmail.
On WP7 device you have to configure Hotmail Exchange server with the following way:
Server / URL: m.hotmail.com
User name: Enter full email address, for example: [email protected]
Domain: Leave this blank
SSL: Enable this
Mail, Contacts, Calendar: All can be enabled
For me it works!

Yes. Export from Outlook to a CSV file. Then import CSV in Gmail. Sync your phone with Gmail and you are done It's funny how good MS supports Google services. Even your Google calendar will sync fully

I've used Google Sync App to sync MS Outlook with Google (both Contacts and Calendar) and after that I've imported Calendar and Contacts by setting Google account on WP.

Does anyone know how to get my contacts out of HD2? I suppose there will be more WP7-ROMs coming and I don't want to synchronize again with GMail and delete all the contacts I'm not interested in at all - a simple tool for backup would be enough for me, thanks in advance (and if not simple tool, please just tell me what's the easiest way to achieve my goal).

Import contacts from csv XBmod-Yuki Build

I am using HTC HD2 with XBmod-Yuki Build 8107.
Before flashing the ROM, i backed up contacts using SPB Backup utility as well as in a .csv file.
How can I import contacts into my phone now that I have Mango 7.5?
Regards,

the short answer is you cant. As with any windows 7 phone you cant transfer contacts from PC to phone ( amazingly crazy I know)
you either have to set up a windows live account ( hotmail) or google Gmail account
When you set up your Gmail account on the phone it sync's contacts and calender automatically

for Windows Phone 7, Windows Live will take a front and center role with the device, requiring you to use a Live ID to "sign in" on the phone to access your Xbox account, Zune profile, Hotmail/Live Mail, MSN Messenger, Phone Live, etc. Similar to an Android device requires a Google mail account for google services
One neat feature that will help simplify things is using Windows Live Contacts (http://contacts.live.com/), which will allow you to import your contacts from
Microsoft Outlook
Outlook Express
Windows Contacts
Windows Live Hotmail
Yahoo! Mail (CSV)
Gmail (CSV)
To export contacts from gmail
(Gmail --> Contacts --> Export --> Outlook CSV).
Likewise, the 'Add People' feature allows digital import and constant syncing between the following services:
Facebook
MySpace
LinkedIn
AOL Mail
Google
Outlook
etc.
Remove duplicates
Finally, you can use the Manage --> 'Clean up contacts' option in Windows Live Contacts to find and delete duplicate information, saving a lot of time. Likewise you can use the 'Merge' feature if you have many lists to import.
Sync does the rest

Login account

In Windows 8, we can login our email account. I am unsure if it restricts to Microsoft account (hotmail account). Currently, I am using GMail account for email client, calendar, address book, etc. As the account is used for work and personal cellphones, I do not want to switch to hotmail for the time being. Under such circumstances, which login account is more appropriate for me? Appreciate your advice!

The login account must be an MS account (or a local one like in previous versions, but then you don't get the benefits of integration like sharing bookmarks and settings across devices), but you can add Google accounts after logging in. However, be aware that Google recently decided to severely limit the access that new Microsoft devices have to Google accounts (as though I needed another reason not to use my gmail...) so while you can set up IMAP access for email, I'm not sure that either calendar or contact sync will work.

I have set up the email programs in "metro" to access my home, work, and gmail accounts. My calendar syncs with the Google calendar. So you should be able to use these. However, I am not impressed with the native email program, and I generally use Thunderbird on the desktop side (the Lightning plug in will access the Google calendar).
When I set up my computer, I logged into the microsoft account using my home email address (which I have previously set up in my MS account).

I use gmail to loggin my account on windows 8.
Create a account with microsoft net passport and you wont have to use gmail anymore

Yeah, I seem to recall that I signed up for MS passport a while back. But I never used it until Win 8 (so far as I know).

use BING and then create a Microsoft account their site will allow you to keep your gmail as the name.. Every Microsoft account will get a free Hotmail account associated to their username, if you have outlook it will get upgraded to outlook.com... this will happen if you're running outlook 2013 or office 365
Google has made changes that do not allow WP8 devices & Windows RT devices from accessing m.google.com/sync directly now. However, theres is a work-around to sync to multiple Google calendars. Please follow these steps from your desktop computer:
1. In IE10, click on the Tools button (Alt+T)
2. Click on F12 developer tools
3. In the window that pops-up, click on Tools
4. Expand the "Change user agent string" tab and select "Apple Safari (iPAD)"
5. Go back to the IE10 window and go to exactly this URL: "https://m.google.com/sync/settings/" (with the https and the slash after settings)
6. Sign into your google account if you aren't, already.
7. Click on "WindowsPhone"
8. In the URL, if you see this string (without the quotes): "supportMultiCalendars=false", change this to "supportMultiCalendars=true" and reload the page.
9. Now your google calendars will show up. The main google calendar will show up as "My Calendars". The other calendars will show up as "Shared Calendars" and calendars under this option will not be selected.
10. If you cannot select these "other calendars", disable JavaScript in IE10. Do this by following instructions here (these instructions are for IE9, but apply to IE10 also):http://browsers.about.com/od/interne...script-ie9.htm
11. Select the calendars you want to add.
12. Click on "Save".
13. On your WP8 device, go to settings -> email+accounts and sync your Google account.
14. Open the Calendar app on your WP8 device to make sure your "other Google calendars" now show up in the app.
This fixes the calendar issues on Windows RT and Windows Phone devices also.

Strange as my Gmail calendar works fine on my new windows 8 ultrabook without having to do anything

A single calendar is expected to (although that may change, the way Google restricted mail access a while back) but multiple calednars, if you want them all to show up, have historically required the above steps. I currently have only one Google Calendar (and barely even use it) so this isn't something I know from experience, but on Windows Phone it was known to be required and Win8 connects in the same way as the phone.
