Hi There!
I am trying to get my Galaxy S to sync to my Parrot MKI9200 Car kit, but it won't. It says you can send the contacts manually but the problem is when I go to do that, I have about 500 Contacts, 350 of which are email address contacts from my gmail account (Which has contacts syncing disabled). I want to just select the ones from my phone which are from my corporate account sync via activesync but I don't seem to be able to do that, and I can't work out how to get rid of the contacts from gmail without getting rid of them from my actual gmail?

That is what I had to do with my FUZE. I sync my phone with hotmail then imported the contacts to gmail. Then on the home screen when to settings and then accounts and sync and found the gmail account. Then hit sync contacts. That's it. I come from over 6yrs of being a winmo and HTC phone fanboy and so far android has been great.

The easiest way is to sync your Diamong with Gmail. Here is how. If you do not have a Gmail account already, create one, then:
1) Launch activesync
2) Add a server source. The server address is m.google.com, your username is the whole GMAIL address, including the @gmail.com and your password is your password (duh). Select the "USE SSL" option, and at the end when it asks you what to sync, deselect everything except for contacts.
If you already deactivated your Diamond and your Epic is active now, you can still do this, just jump on WiFi with the Diamong.
You can also get your Calendar out this way. Just make sure you Gmail account calendar is active if not already (select the Calendar link at the top of page in Gmail, and follow the prompts to get the calendar set up). Then when setting up Activesync on the Diamond, at the point where you deselected everything but Contacts, leave Calendar active as well.
Another option if you dont wan to do the OTA method, is to sync your Diamong with the USB cable via Activesync on your PC with outlook, then export your contacts as a CSV file, then import it into Gmail, finally logging into that Gmail account on your Epic.
The last and perhaps easiest method, is take it to take both phones to a local Service and Repair center. They will happily switch your contacts free of charge for you. And if it is an Authorised S&R center (meaning not Sprint corp owned) Sprint actually pays them for doing the service for you, which is quick, easy, and painless.
to trully transfer them easily use migrate from the market...keeps your info and contact picture from winmo...(did it from my old TP2).
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and I just used Bluetooth to transfer all of the contacts. I believe the same should work on the Diamond.
Title pretty much explains!
With facebook and secondary email accounts, under settings you can disable them from importing contacts into WP7's contact area... but with the main Windows Live ID you use to activate the phone, there's no tick box to disable the importing of messenger contacts.
Now my phonebook has like 300 entries of people who don't even have phone numbers... help?! Please!
Yeah! I've got the solution for you, i run into this problem as soon as i got my activation code and got my hotmail account up and running, all you got to do is go to your mail account and delete all the contacts in the contacts page then re-sync your live account from your phone and *bam* unwanted contacts are gone!

Then all your contacts store in Hotmail are gone?
I have just posted this against another similar post, would it work?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?

I found quite some usefull threads on how to set up and avoid problems with syncing my HD2 on WP7 (7403) with google. I can get it to sync mail and "my contacts". The latter means "importing" the contacts in that category. What it does however NOT do, is exporting the contacts from my phone (mainly just names with phone numbers) to my google account. How do i get this to work?
Hi there ...not sure with 7403 but with 8107 i found this.
set up a gmail account on your phone , then when you check your gmail it automatically syncs.
On the phone gmail account settings you can choose what it syncs ( mail / calender/ contacts) All working well.
i set up syncing our exchange server. back in the days with my htc sensation it synced only my private contacts. the s4 synced all public contacts. now i have like 8000 contacts on my phone. how to get rid of them and sync only my private contacts of the exchange server?
it seems like, it is only possible to sync all folders.

i tried to use the workaround, but the whatsapp sync already used all phone numbers, so i also have like 1000 new whatsapp contacts, i even never seen in my life....
the next problem is, the contacts may be hidden, but if you try to find a contact in the phone app, the hidden contacts by groups won't be hidden and it's nearly impossible to find a contact very fast.
that "feature" is really disappointing. i also don't know what to do now? should i start deleting contacts? i'm affraid the sync will delete them in our exchange server. but how to delete them only in whatsapp?
my solution:
- stop sync with exchange
- clear whatsapp data / cache
- delete all exchange contacts with kies
- send all contacts from my old htc phone to the s4
Hi All,
Both my Nokia 6s' have stopped copying / syncing Contacts from Outlook for Android into the phones Android Contacts App.
Up until a week ago all my Contacts in Outlook were also found / sync'd in Android Contacts but some reason this abruptly stopped. I can see all my Contacts in the Outlook App, but I also see that the Outlook account is not found in Android Contacts and it does not let me add a new (Outlook) account. Also, the "Sync Contacts" slider in Outlook for Android is missing.
I have tried Reset Account, Delete Account, uninstall / re-install App etc. in Outlook (on both devices) but without any luck.
It is strange that this is happening on both devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?
I've never been able to get the Outlook App contacts to sync with Android contacts. However, the way I got around to do fixing this was to add another account to the stock GMAIL app on the phone with the Exchange credentials. For whatever reason, then I can get two-way syncing of contacts between my phone and Outlook. If there is a better way to do this, please post here!
Thanks
I also sync Outlook contacts by addimg my adding an Exchange Account via Settings-Accounts options, then manually configuring it.
