Hi,
When my BT connection with the carkit still worked (see threath ' BT problems') I noticed that my contacts were displayed more then one time with the same phonenumber.
Looking in Contacts on the DHD I can see that the information inthere contains 'Google' and 'Mobile'. Probably the Googlesync and the Outlooksync.
Which one do you guys use and why.
Problem is that I want to use the sync on my pc between Googlecontacts and Outlook so I don't have to change or add things twice, but I only need one contact on my phone
Thanx!
Leon
Hi,
Well from what I know is that if you use google contacts it uploads and syncs your contacts to your google account where as with the normal phone contacts it stays on your phone unless you have a HTC Sence account which syncs them to their site.
Hope that helps a bit.

Okay, Thanx. I do have a Sense account, but somehow they also stay on my DHD, while I only checked the Google-box.

I am using the true Google Sync that goes through active sync server settings, not the gsync.cab. It works much better than the cab but I've noticed a big annoyance. Everytime it syncs it changes the sort by back to last name, first name in outlook on the phone. I tried the fileasfl.cab and it still just reverts back every time it syncs. Any idea how to fix this. I originally did the outlook sync fix where you change outlook on your PC to file by first name and then re-sync it with your phone, but Google undid all of that.
I'm using a CDMA Diamond Stock ROM 1.22.557.1 with WM6.1 build 19972.1.2.7 if that matters.

I think I know why this happens.
Google uses just one field for a contacts name.
You dont have separate fields for First Name and Last Name.
Also the contact photos loses clarity after sybcing with google via active sync..
The contacts photo thing is very disappointing. I find that the contacts I had on my G1 display First Last properly, but the ones that weren't do not... very strange. I still absolutely love this ability though!

the only quick fix is to use Shubaroo Contact Changer change contact order in 1 click... hope it helps!

Just 2 questions
1. Is there a way of sync-ing your phone contacts with facebooks so it uses the contacts face book picture etc, i can do this individualy but is there a way of doing it in one big go.
2. Can you sync your facebook calander to the HTC HD2 calander?
1. Login your facebook account in Setting/Data services. It will sync your contact with facebook avatar and birthday but the names in your contact book must be the same with your facebook friend names, if not, u have to sync one by one
2. I dont think we can
Anybody know of a better facebook app out there for the HD2?? Lets face it, the one that comes out of the box is about as much use as tits on a fish.......
There is an updated version floating around

Does the integration remain after a new ROM flash? If the names have been changed etc the first time, should do I guess?

the integration info is saved in the 'notes' field of your contact. once you sync back AND associate your phone with fb they will all re sync.
The one reason syncing with fb is good: profile pictures. Most of my friends dont like me to sit there, and take a picture of them when they give me their number, so this helps.

This works for most of my contacts, but I had to do a hard reset ant almost 1/4 didn't have nothing in Notes field - so didn't associate automatically. Is there any way to make a "full resync" or something similar so I don't have to manually associate those contacts next time?
P.S. something more simple than manually adding a Note
Does anyone have problem with this facebook sync. Everytime I try to sync, my HD2 gets verry laggy until it don't respond, and I have to pull my battery. This happens when i manually select update now, or if my phone is set to automaticaly update. Its really annoying
It's smooth for me
Maybe sth related to ur rom. Try hard-reset or flash another rom
I have done hard reset a bunch of times. HTC customer support told me to install the latest ROM, and then do a hard reset. I tryed it, but with no luck. Everything else, works like a charm. I do use ROM from HTC 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR. Maybe I should look into some custom ROM's? Any tips for a good rom? I have been searching the forum and there is so many to choose from. Can I use anyone? Or should it be one for Norway?
Do u have HSPL on your phone? If yes, try to install a couple of cook roms. Remember to do a task 29 before flashing any rom. If u have no idea about what HSPL or Taks29 is, please do take a look in the HD2 Rom development, read threads about them, and there's also a thread for noob flashing guide. It takes time but worth it.
I can suggest u a couple of cook roms I've used but it's better that u should look into the Rom threads to see which one suit ur needs, every rom is really good and fast, stable more than stock rom. I can recommend some such as CleanEX, Energy or Touch-X
there is a program called SocialSync can be found here

i tried it on my HD2, it does work but it does take a long time to sync and transfer facebook details to your contacts (well maybe for me coz i linked like 100+ contacts)
but one thing good about this is that it edited the birthday field on my contacts on my device, and now can be used by manilaBirthday
also, if contact doesnt exist on your device, u can add friends from FB to ur contact list
question... if i login to the sense facebook without enabling it to download automatically every 2 hours, would facebook in sense still try to update by itself?
the reason here is i logged in to facebook in sense but did not enable automatic downloading yet surprisingly my phone started to access my internet. others experience the same?
does any1 know how to get the facebook sync back in action after turning it off. I disabled it temporarily, but I lost all the synced data as a result. After reactivating it, it no longer syncs (although for some reason it seems to acknowledge that the contacts have a facebook profile linked to them, but it is unable to download photos, updates etc)
Is there anyway to do it aside from a hard reset? Something I'd rather avoid
I'm using the stock ROM 3.14 (WWE)
Facebook for hd2 or hd2 for facebook?
No one has come across "snaptu"? Go to http://m.snaptu.com . there you download a app for your hd2, there is unsigned and verisigned which i dont understand the significance of it. But i lliked it. It is a JAVA app so you need to run JBlend and then snaptu app. i can do everything as on a computer except CHAT. Do you know anything better? please tell me. especially one that you can chat with.
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

My contacts are stored in Windows Contact Book(My Documents>Users>MYUSERNAME>Contacts) HTC Sync provided with DHD wouldn't copy them to my phone, so I just installed HTC Sync 2.xx from Legend/Hero and it worked.
It's a good point actually.
If you have your contacts in outlook, then when you install HTC Sync from the phone it will copy all your contact details to the phone automatically.
I learnt that the hard way by syncing with my work computer and having nearly 5000 contacts copied to my phone. I had to yank the power quickly and hard reset before it tried to sync it all to gmail!

OK, I'm a newb to Android so I'm not sure I understand what you're discussing here.
Should I install HTC Sync 3.0 from the HTC website or is there a better way to get it working? The Desire HD isn't (yet?) shown in the list of compatible handsets on the HTC website for that version.
On the included SD-cart there is the program HTC Sync 3.0. You can copy the file to your computer and install it there. Works fine and you can synchronise all the contacts in outlook.

Thank you.
I've imported my contacts already via Google so that bit is OK. Has anybody had success importing the calendar entries onto the Desire HD?
Edit: OK, I had a go and yes: it's synchronised the calendar entries. But only back a month. Is there a way to extend the range so that the whole calendar is synchronised?
Edit 2: I tried something else. I don't think HTC Sync will do what I want. I'm moving from Windows Mobile/Outlook to Google/Android so I figured I really only need a one-time synchronisation. I found that Google has their own sync tool:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
It's not compatible with the version of Outlook I'm using (2002) so I found other software called CompanionLink:
http://www.companionlink.com/android/outlook/
They offer a free 14-day trial of their sync software with which I'm uploading my entire Outlook calendar to Google and it's syncing with my phone in front of me. That's all I needed - I don't think I want to sync my Outlook calendar in the future since I won't be using Windows Mobile again. Time will tell if I'm right.
I have an HD2 and an Audi A4 (2007).
I connect the phone via bluetooth and it has been working well for the last year.
My office has just put email onto Exchange so I set this up on the phone to get my emails but now the phonebook doesn't work in the car - it connects fine but comes up no entries.
I'm wondering if it is due to outlook requiring me to have a keypad lock (which is also annoying)?
Any ideas as it is useful to have my email but not if it messes up everything else.
It sounds as though when they set up Exchange settings that they synced the e-mail, calendar and CONTACTS. So the contacts may have e-mail addresses but no phone numbers and any existing contacts were deleted.
The contacts in your computer's email program should now be the same as on your phone. Just add the missing contacts and any conacts without phone numbers.
Thanks for the advice fred_up, what seems odd is if I remove the car from the bluetooth list then re-establish the connection to the car it works fine.
But once I leave the car then go back it comes up no entries again!
I'll try unticking the contacts in the outlook sync settings to see if that does the trick.
I have a pioneer set in the car and with winmo the phonebook was working fine, but with my NANED Android it's not.
I'll be testing some other builds later this week to see if it's the build that i'm using or not.

Okay.. Got it working.. I needed to allow my pioneer to access my phone's addressbook
I have address book access set up on the car and the phone but still nothing. It actually came up yesterday then disappeared right before my eyes - how random!
Having tried everything I can think of I give up and am going to remove exchange, I'm fed up of the keypad lock it forces you to have anyway and I tried the registry tweak to remove that but as I'm no programmer couldn't get that to work either.
Thanks for your replies anyway.
