I have installed the OUtlook app as I was using a Windows phone before. Now any new contact I save dissapppears as in a day. I cannot save new contacts, I cannot delete old contacts either.
Bump: Can somebody help?
If you have an exchange account, configure it via the Gmail exchange services and sync the contacts that way. Turn off contact sync in the outlook app.

The Desire is my first Android phone, and never used google sync to synchronize the contacts. I have 2 questiones,
1. Is the google cantacts format as same as the outlook contacts?
2. If I sync the phone contacts with outlook then sync with google's, will generate the dual same contacts in the phone?
Thanks a lot.
I ended up exporting my contacts from exchange as a .csv file then importing into my Gmail contacts so I could use the Hullomail voicemail app effectively.

Isn't that a function that HTC Sync offers?
You can find it on the sd card of your phone.
I used export from Outlook and it worked fine, try using a different file type as google accepts oodles of different ones.
I don't know if it's possible with Outlook instead of Windows Mobile, but you can try.
Sync Outlook (contacts offcourse) through ActiveSync with the gmail server. (m.google.com I believe...) Then all your Outlook contacts should have been synced with gmail.
Maybe backup your contacts before trying.

Google Calendar Sync
I use Google Calendar Sync for that, works great http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe
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.

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
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
Geoff
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.
