Error Syncing Contacts

Hi all, whenever I try and sync my contacts to Google I get a force close saying 'Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped......Force close.'
Does anyone know whats causing it?

This happened to me when I changed type of contacts from "Phone" (synchronized from Outlook with Htc Sync) to "Gmail" (using ContactSync). Then I was forced to delete all phone contacts, export them from Outlook (CSV), import them to Gmail and then sync with my phone
It looks like contacts from Outlook created by Htc Sync contains some features unsupported by Google Contacts API...

Thanks mate, sorted it.

Can't sync outlook with Kies

I am having problem trying to sync my outlook contacts and calender. Used to work fine. but today i got the following error "execution privilege prevents you from accessing outlook"
anyone can help me out?

Same issue. Make sure you have the latest update for kies, I have just had the one update for kies about a week ago, it was a large update and now the phone connects without any issues, be it connected as a mass storage device or as a kies connection.
I did eventually vcard all my contacts to my gmail account to keep them all updated and in sync with the phone.
I also imported my outlook calendar to google calendar and to keep outlook synced with any changes, be it to your google calendar or outlook calendar, there's a google sync program you can install.
P.s. I use windows vista
Hope it helps.

[Q] Synced contacts from Outlook do not make it to the Google contacts

Hi everybody!
Yesterday I've bought HTC Desire Z, amazing device, but there's this thing ...
before, when I owned Windows Mobile device, I used to sync it with Outlook via cable and to Google contacts and calendar via active sync (google sync for phone ...) and I've the same contacts and calendar in Outlook (which I consider to be my primary PIM).
Now what I did with Desire Z - first, I've deleted all my Google contacts and calendar events. Then I synced Desire Z with Outlook using HTC sync and after that I set up google account on device and set it to automatically sync contacts and calendar. But no contacts and calendars are synced.
My question is - am I doing something wrong, or is this standard behavior, that the contacts are not synced between different sources?
If this is the standard way, how do you keep it synced also with google?

These are not synced with each other crossed.

htc sync will have created "phone" contacts not "google" contacts. You will need to create a .csv file in outlook and then login to your gmail account on a computer and upload this file.
This will create "google" contacts for your phone to sync with. Once this is done it's best to ditch outlook sync. It just gets in the way and causes strange duplicates and errors.

[q] htc hero calendar sync

Hi
Please can someone help. I have an HTC Hero with Android 2.1. I am able to sync the contacts with HTC Sync with no problem at all. However, I am totally unable to sync the Calendar. What I would like to do is sync my HTC Calendar with Google calendar and also export it so that I can save the calendar to my SD Card. However, nothing seems to work, not even HTC Sync.
Any help would be much appreciated.

As far as I know, Google calendar syncs with your google account at any time when you have internet connection and/or background data/autosync enabled. HTC Sync sync your phone's calendar with MS Outlook (if you use windows).

Thank you. Please can you tell me how I can use HTC Sync to Sync my HTC Calendar with Outlook because I am unable to make this work at the moment!

I've downloaded a program called Google Calendar Sync. This program syncs your outlook calendar with your google calendar (you can tell it which ways it has to sync e.g. only outlook-> google, or google->outlook or both ways), and then in turn, your google calendar syncs with your phone.
See Google Calendar Sync page for more info.

Outlook for Android not Syncing Contacts to Phone

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.
