I can search my companies corporate address book fine from the contacts app but I only get very little information back. I only see the name, departement, email and phone number but I don't see all other details that are actually avalable. I can access them via a corporate address book app but not from the contacts app. What stuns me is that my colleagues see a lot more on their S-something .. they have a details field in the contacts app which even shows room numbers etc.
What may I have set up wrong?

Anyone use the online address book feature of the messaging program? I want my contacts from my different email sources. I could type them into outlook but would prefer something more automatic. Open up a messaging account like Gmail then choose menu - tools - options. Then the 3rd tab is address. Try to add an address book. Thanks
I had seen some tool, can't remember name!
It's allow to synchronize your contacts with internet!
So you can easy recover all your data, even if you PC will be formated

I think I am asking the question wrong. What I was hoping to do was to use my contacts I have on gmail or yahoo. When I type an email on my phone the only contacts I can pull up are the ones in my contacts under outlook.
Now I could copy the email accounts but the nice feature of Yahoo and Gmail (and many other email accounts) is that they will automatically add new addresses.
Now back to my original question. On our phone is a place to put a server address for an online address book. Anyone use this feature to tap into either yahoo or gmail address book?
Thanks
I have the option selected to sync exchange contacts but I can only access conatcts that are listed in my outlook contacts section, not enterprise contacts? I recall previously on some other handset I used to be able to look up contacts from the enterprise contacts section just by typing a few lettes and clicking search or something like that.
Ideally I don't want to add a whole bunch of contacts that'll show up in my phone's contact list, I'll just need to email people now and then and need to look them up from the compose email interface.
The native activesync doesn't support the global address list (gal) so you won't be able to look them up. Touchdown does as an alternative.
I'll vouch for Touchdown. Awesome Exchange client. Well worth the $20.
Thanks, will see if I can live without it until n1 is updated, whenever that is...
I've done a lot of searching here and other places on the net, and haven't found a solid answer.
I've attempted to sync my hotmail/live contacts via exchange. I notice though, that the only fields available for my hotmail contacts, are things like first and last name. no phone number, email or any other information besides names. even when I try to add a contact, the only way to add things like number, email address, physical address is by syncing it with my Google account.
I don't use Google for much of anything. all my contacts and email are served through hotmail/live services.
How do I go about adding and syncing contacts with my hotmail/live exchange accounts?
thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HMMM, not sure what to tell you but mine sync up just fine...
Try going to accounts and sync and erasing the data and then the email address, reboot the phone, and then add the address again...
just a suggestion though.... not a problem with android though because it works just fine for me....
you could also try going through the "email" client and setting up your email there instead of through "accounts and sync"
lemme clarify a bit.
I am able to sync my contacts, but if I want to edit or even add a new contact to my hotmail-exchange account, I can only add (in this order:
Name prefix
First Name
Middle Name
Last Name
Name suffiX
Phonetic given name
Phonetic middle name
Phonetic family name
there are no options available for e-mail, phone, address or any other fields that are normally available for a contact.
When I open the contact to view it though it will show me the information stored in hotmail/live information, but I CANNOT edit it. If I try to, I get the screen described above.....
So in order for me to have an updated address book, I have to add/edit contacts from the google account I have (which I don't use for anything, except to download from Market or whatever)
Are you able to add a new contact and save it to your contact book in hotmail/live?
I have tried things like removing my hotmail and live accounts and then readding them.
I think the difference between your account and mine is that you are syncing yours through your google account where as I am not... to be clear, I am not syncing my emails nor contacts nor calendar through my gmail account. I only have my hotmail account set up on the phone to sync. Except for on the phone, the two accounts don't know the other exists. IF you are syncing your hotmail contacts through your gmail account, then you are tied to the fields provided by your google account.
TO answer your question, yes, I can make any modification the phone allows to my hotmail contact and it is reflected in my hotmail account.
I just wanted to say thanks for the insight....
I had to unlink everything that was syncing, and then resynced accounts, starting with my Hotmail/live accounts....all fixed now.
thanks again.

Lemme get this straight. The issue is present only if two contact syncing services are enabled?
I tried. Setting Hotmail as the very first contact sync service and adding Google account without contacts sync does't work around the issue.
When entering a name in the “to” field in a new email, auto complete will find names that have been previously sent completed emails on the phone. However if the contact you are trying to send an email to has never been utilized, and you press “search directory”, it does not find any entries. This happens even if you only use one letter and you know that there might be 50 to 100 contacts with that first letter being in their address or name.
This is very frustrating.
Also, the auto complete field apparently does not synchronize with the auto complete field in Outlook on the computers
obviously I’m using Windows phone 10 with new Outlook, and using office 365 with all the updates on computers. Also my contacts are in a hosted exchange account and that is the phone book that I am utilizing for contacts on the phone.
Microsoft store no help
any suggestions or recommendations?
Try setting up your Exchange account using the Advanced option, I couldn't get mine to work properly till I used this option and entered all the details manually. When I search my Exchange contact list (company with over 1500+ contacts) it takes less than 1sec to find them, compared to Touchdown for Android that used to take 10 seconds to find my most used contacts....
That worked!
I also have 1500 contacts a it was a big problem.
Thank you so much!!!
On my Nexus 6P's Google Contacts, there's a "ME" Contact.
Is there anyway to sync or link it to my own personal contact details?
If you already have a contact entry for yourself with your email address in it, then adding your email address to the Me contact should link/join the two together.
I do but it doesn't work for some reason
There is no way to sync it. I've been sending feedback about it for years.
does this affect the image on the phone's user profile as well?
try this:
put your gmail into 'me' contact, link this local contact with your g+ profile. Eventually, open g+/settings/yourgmail/contact switch on contact access.
thanks! will this affect the User Account on my phone as well?
If you turned on the contact optionin Google+ it will sync that photo across devices. But one you chose from the device should only be usable on the device itself. But correct me if I'm wrong here.
