I just flashed to CM6.1 RC2 to give stock Android a test run. However i ran into the issue of syncing contacts. as my HTC sense no longer works.
Without using g-mail is there a way to sync outlook to my phone? I use my gmail as a business only account, and do no want my person contacts mixed in with it.
If not i will simply flash to a sense ROM.
P.S: can you have two contact lists like in Sense UI? like phone storage and g-mail storage. When i'm not working i like to turn off my "gmail" contacts leaving just my personal

Need to solve this, tryed everything I could think off and still not working.
I'm unable to sync contacts from People to Gmail.
Tryed with usual google sync (calendar, contacts, gmail) and I think it worked once right after I started phone first time, not really sure though since I deleted all contacts and transfered from my Nokia phone.
After that I deleted all my GMAIL contacts since it was regular garbage and tryed sync with phone. I just can't transfer contacts from phone to gmail.
Tryed running exchange account, I added it, mail syced but contacts wouldn't...
Is that bug with Desire or I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe gmail can't take phone number contacts?
Help
I was wondering this too.
From my old nokia I copied contacts to Sim
In my desire i copied contacts to phone from sim.
The contacts never get pushed to Google.
I also had a tricky time setting this up to work correctly...
The best way to sync contacts between Google and your Desire is to have them on Google from the start.
I had a Nokia 5800 before this and I synced my contacts into Outlook then found a programme to sync Outlook with Gmail - my contacts then got pushed to my Desire.
If you want to push contacts from your Desire to Gmail/Google, they have to be created as Google contacts.
I could be wrong but i don't think there's a way around this... I haven't found it anyway!
Yes, contacts on Phone don't get synced with gmail, only contacts which you save under "Google".
I'm still have second thoughts about concerning privacy since in all my contacts there are birthdays, private phones, other info, emails... basicly if I sync it google by just comparing emails can collect a lot of info on any of my contacts.
Sucky.
I use MobileMe to keep my iCalendar & iMail contacts synced. I just switched from iPhone and can't get anything to sync. Is there an app that can help?
Try syncing everything with your google account. Then Android should be able to pull everything back to your phone.
As far as iMail...are you using it with a GMail account? If so just use the GMail app in android. Its better than the HTC Mail app imho. HTC Mail can do non-gmail emails however if you need that.
EDIT:
Lifehacker- Calendar
Contact Sync
I haven't tested this, but I think it might work
If your contacts are in your address book app on the comp, then you can export them in zcard format somehow and install from sdcard
Yesterday I finally bought a Desire, after few days of Android test on my Kaiser device.
On Kaiser I succeeded to create an Exchange account for my company email and to sync emails, calendar and contacts.
On Desire I receive an error regarding the server settings. I installed Roadsync and Touchdown and for them everything is OK.
Could be a problem related to the company certificates?
How I can solve it?
Thanks!
I installed the stock Android 2.2 email app and now everything is OK in the email side.
But the calendar and contacts are still not sync.
What exactly are your settings, where and how did you configure these, which Exchange version do you use and what is the resulting problem / error message?
kata2008: in the server settings try to put the FQDN of your server or in otherwords the complete name and domain name of the server
example:
ex10.mydomain.com
Hello,
For server name I'm using the ip address.
HTC Email application create the errors. I installed the stock 2.2 email app and now is OK. I can sync the emails.
But now I have another problem: I can't sync contacts and calendar. I installed the stock 2.2 calendar application, but is no link to the stock email application.
As I see, I need to use the stock apps, not the HTC provided by Desire.
Do you now how I can install correctly stock 2.2 email, calendar and contacts apps?
good to hear that worked for you. i dont know if you could install the stock email for it is included with Sense.. As i know you need to use the RUU..
@kata2008
Please read this thread. Perhaps this is you problem too:

Finally, a step ahead.
I installed the 2.2 stock email app, I restarted the Desire and now I can sync emails and calendars.
I can sync contacts only from Exchange to Desire, but vice verse is not working.
If I want to add a contact in People, I can't choose the corporate account, only Gmail, SIM, Phone.
Do you now how I can fix this last step?
Hey guys, Just flashed the newest update of incredibly re-engineered to my dinc, been using older versions of inc re-engineered for a while. But hotmail still doesn't wanna work. Yes I've tried all the different types of pop, and exchange settings, and now I give up on trying to make hotmail work with the stock mail app. SO, gmail works just fine, I loaded up my gmail account, set my hotmail to forward everything to my gmail account, then set my gmail account to send messages under my hotmail address.
Problem solved. A real ass-backwards way of making it work so that I can have the mail widget, but it works. Of course other apps from the market will connect to my hotmail account, and I have maildroid, and thats nice, but this was the only way I could get hotmail to somewhat work with stock mail.
I will say, sometimes hotmail would sort of sync with the automatic settings, but it would only sync 10 messages at a time, and it sync'd my oldest messages first. So thats useless. I'd have to set it to sync-all in order for that to happen. All the other settings like days and how many messages, didn't take any effect. Then again, google probably considers adding windows features to a google phone to be sodomy. I'm not that surprised hotmail doesn't wanna work on my dinc
So I guess this is more of a comment thread than a question since things are working. But if you encountered the hotmail problem with android 2.2, and overcame it, please share.
Did hotmail ever work when you were running stock?
Nah didn't work right then either.

Hi all,
I use Leedroid GB Rom in my desire. I added Facebook account through Friendcaster and it appeared under accounts and sync option in account settings and i synced the contacts of FB via friendcaster. In my people app, under the view option, that account is not visible. But when i install Go contact, i can see all the contacts. Why does this happen. IS this a problem with Friendcaster or Leedroid GB Rom. Help Appreciated.
Thanks
I think you must sign in via 'Facebok for HTC Sense' for the contact sync to work....
Or, if adding your account to the Facebook for Sense doesn't work at all, try deleting your Facebook accounts and re-add them. Sometimes that does the trick. I don't know why, but it helped me with similar sync problems.
