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.
Hello Guys

Go to Settings>Accounts & sync and you'll see FB sync tick over there and it's done.
I have the same problem, but when you tap FB, the screen goes back to the add account screen.
Any Ideas??
Hey guys I rely on Facebook for a lot of my contacts and it will randomly switch to don't sync and that means I have to go back put on sync and relink my contacts it's really irritating. Do you know how I can save the Facebook contacts without Facebook sync? Thanks guys!

If you're just looking to sync them to have their contact information in your phone then I do have a solution for that. Its a process, but once its done, its done (but is reversible).
You'll need a Yahoo email account to do this. Log into your Yahoo email account, go to your contacts page, and choose to Import. Select Facebook. This will import your facebook contacts to your Yahoo account. Ok, now from the contacts page in Yahoo, you want to select export. Create a yahoo CSV file and save it to your computer. Now log onto your Google account and go to the Dashboard and then to Contacts. Now import the CSV file you made for Yahoo and you'll have all your facebook contacts now in your gmail account which will then sync to your phone. Of course you'll have to add any new facebook contact you aquire after the process manually (of just repeat the process).
Its not the most automated solution, but it is a solution. Of course you wont be able to see updates and what not with this solution, but it will get your facebook contacts information into your phone.
^^^ this is some very useful info here. Didn't know how to do this until this step by step instructions. Thanks so much.

Hi Just got my first tablet. Can anybody tell me if you can synch my outlook calender with my nexus 7 calender, don't want to synch it via google calender, wondered if it can be done with out synching to google first or if there is an app i can use. thanks
There are add-on for Chrome to google sync for your computer browser. I know Chrome has them for sure...
You can go to the email app and log in with your email account you use with outlook.
Then android should sync your account as a outlook account and also your calendar schould be synced
I have set up nexus 7's email app to synch with my outlook email, but no where in email settings on nexus does it elude to synching calendar, anybody help. Thanks
This is how we do it on the phone. I just got my N7 yesterday and while contacts and e-mail have synced fine using this method, my calendar has not yet synced.

Is this a local calendar? Like you just use Outlook as a POP client, or do you log into an Exchange server. If Exchange, the default mail app on the N7 supports Activesync and you can set it up for your mail server.
If it's just a local account then you would probably need to sync it through Gmail or find an app for the tablet and a program for the computer that allows you to sync when. You plug it in or provide an OTA sync when your PC is on. This might work for you.

OK, I got my Outlook calendar syncing now. For some reason I had to create a the Exchange account from within the calendar app on the N7 for it to work. Same account as I already created in Settings. Thankfully, it doesn't show as 2 separate accounts. If you setup your Outlook to sync as in the thread I posted earlier it will work fine. You don't need to have a Hotmail account, either.
Have managed to synch my outlook emails, but only the inbox, won't snych sub folders in outlook inbox.
Looks like i will have to find a program and app, as its a local account i want to synch, don't want to bother with exchange server
Have also tried to import my contacts from outlook to the stock nexus 7 people app, but outlook will only export as a .csv file and nexus people will only import as a vcard file, any ideas.
Try my phone explorer from the Google play store and install the pc version on your pc. Syncs contacts, calendar & tasks using USB, WiFi or Bluetooth directly with the Outlook data on your pc. Check the installation screenshot for details:

Thanks will have a look at it. Do you know if it synchs with the stock nexus 7 calendar or does it add its own calendar to tablet and synch that with outlook.
