Hi
I've got a new Desire Z and I like it
On the first startup I synchronized all my contacts from my old Nokia N82 via bluetooth. I also logged in into my gmail account in the setup. The gmail account had no contacts.
I expected now the phone to synchronize all my contacts into the gmail account, but it didn't. I can push the "synchronize gmail" button in the phone settings, but it doesn't create all my contacts in my gmail account.
So how can I synchronize (backup) my contacts into gmail?
Thanks

I found a workaround.
I think the issue occured because of syncing the contacts in the initial setup and not later. Because of that they weren't created in gmail. All since added contacts have synced to gmail.
I exported now all contacts from the phone to the sd-card and imported them in gmail. Now they seem to be synced without any duplicates
Hi,
firstly may I apologise if this has been covered, I did complete a search without
success.
I do not have Outlook on my pc,
is it possible to sync contacts with gmail without outlook, if not is there a relatively inexpensive method of purchasing Outlook ?
regards

If you have a Gmail account and Android, you do not need Outlook at all.
Outlook can only sync with Gmail with Google Calendarsync AFAIK.
On your phone in Accounts and Synchronization, Add your gmail account and choose the items to sync.
- contacts
- gmail
- picasa
- calendar
What are you currently using on your pc as a contact manager application?
Backup your contacts to your SD card and then restore them but select your Gmail account to add them too. It will then sync the contacts to Gmail
Use MyPhoneExplorer which is free.
Thank you for the replies,
I do not have a contacts manager.
I have exported to SD card, deleted and copied back as google contacts,
it now appears to be a gmail upgrade problem as the phone error message
>Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly<
I'll just have to wait to see if it works.

I have 2 calendars syncing: gmail calendar + google apps calendar.
Both calendars are syncing OK.
When I add a new event on my phone, I cannot only add it in the google apps calendar, only in the gmail calendar. The google apps calendar does not show up in the drop down list.
IS there a solution?
Does anyone know how to get S calendar to sync old google calendar events?
So ever since I setup this RMA device I can never get my Facebook events to sync natively with the Google calendar app. I can force a calendar entry through the Facebook app but I want it to sync to the calendar without me having to do that. I used to be able to choose Facebook as a calendar within Google Calendar but the option has never been there on this device.
