Hello ppl,
I bought this phone, i have one big problem, i can´t import contacts from outlook, i try export to gmail account and sincr with phone, but i can´t made call only edit then. is posible import from outlook?? how??
thanks
you can use Android-Sync free program ,
install into windows system and connect phone .
it is support for :
Contacts, Calendars ( Tasks, Notes, Bookmarks, SMS / MMS, Settings, File management, are working in progress )
Connect with a USB cable. Power saving, more secure, and private ( OTA wireless syncing is working in progress )
Support Microsoft Outlook from 98 - 2010
Support Android OS 1.1 / 1.5 / 1.6 / 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.2
visit : http://www.android-sync.com/
I'm using gSyncit (14.99 USD). It syncs Calendar, Contacts, Tasks (to an additional Google Calendar), and Notes (to GoogleDocs). Does it's job quite nicely. The first complete sync takes some time but then it works quite fast.
Before that, I exported my Outlook Contacts to a CSV file and imported it from my Gmail account. Works quite well, but I prefer the comfort of an Outlook-plugin.
Cheers,
Oliver
Why not using the activesync that should be loaded by default?
Android-Sync free program is limited to 20 entries.... not very usefull unless you want to buy it and then realizing that it doesn't allow editing contacts from the phone :S

I got my hero yesterday, and i am trying to transfer my contacts and sms etc from my mogul to the hero but to no avail, the sync cable connecter from my mogul is broke and I am having problems pairing the two phones via bluetooth, can anyone offer any help
also, I am looking for an app to mass transfer contacts via bluetooth, I don't want to do them manually I have approx 1500 contacts
Android doesn't currently support OBEX file transfers via Bluetooth.
You could try this app as it says that it can do this, and does not require root - I'm sceptical however.

And it's free
You can setup winmo to sync contacts with gmail. Just remember to backup first, in case something goes awry
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138652
Then just sync with your hero
You can also use TBexport (search the whole forum for TBexport.zip) to convert your contacts to a *.csv file and import that into either:
1) Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows mail and synch to the Hero with the HTC Synch software or
2) import the contacts into gmail at the web page.
I recommend importing them ot Outlook or Outlook Express. When I did this with my wife's new Hero, many of the gmail imported contacts treated the phone numbers as notes. She had to go through about 200 contacts and transfer the phone numbers into the correct field.
Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to synchronise The new Mozart 7 with Outlook for contacts and calender ?
Thanks.
That is the way I have got my contacts etc onto my Mozart ignoring the sim card route although it was via work Outlook by Exchange
The only way I managed to do this was to setup a hotmail account and copy all of my contacts within outlook. Provided you have the outlook connector installed you can add the new hotmail account to your mozart and the next time you sync it will transfer over all your contacts and appointments.
unfortunately i have the 64-bit microsoft office, outlook doesn't work with wmdc or seemingly anything else, never has worked and microsoft seems in no hurry to fix this, oh well, luckily most fo my contacts were in my windows live ID so it all got synced
I've got it syncing via exchange. Have to say for all it's failures (it is going back sadly) at least it syncs outlook flawlessly but then it is a Microsoft product..
Have sync'd two exchange accounts, contacts, calendars... and it's smart enough to not double up on duplicate contacts.
There is no ActiveSync possible in WP7. You have to sync via some sort of online service (Hotmail, Gmail, Exchange, etc).
FYI, even Microsoft recomend against using Office 64bit unless you are working with mega huge spreadsheet type data (4GB+ files).
how to sync notes and tasks from outlook 2007 to WM7?
does anyone know how to do a GAL lookup after you setup the device with an exchange account?
Synchronization with Outlook
Hello,
It's possible to calendar, contact...
1) You must add a microsoft plugin in Outlook 2010 (Outlook.Connector)
2) Create a new account (ex : [email protected])
(This account should be the same as WM7 phone account)
3) The news informations of calendar or contacts are send in account @live.fr
when you click on SEND/RECEIVE
4) You start "Hotmail App." on the mobile (with your account) and you synchronize.
5) The news "Outlook Informations" are now in your mobile phone
Best regards

I know that we can export the contacts from outlook to a .csv file and push it to google and sync it from there, but this is not what I want. I have custom fields, as well as pictures for my contacts that won't get exported via .csv method. Besides, I want to keep my gmail and outlook contacts separate as I have millions of email contacts in gmail that I don't need in my phone contacts list.
Is there a way to directly sync contacts with Outlook with Atrix?
If you're using Exchange via ActiveSync, that would probably work. Touchdown is another alternative. But I don't believe there is a device <-> desktop sync available. If you don't have too many contacts (under 250) you can use Soocial to sync from Outlook to their server to your phone.
I was actually looking for a device <--> phone sync (it's a local outlook address book, not an exchange server) but I will check Soocial, thanks.
Easy and free.
Soocail
I don't see the Atrix 4g on their selection of Motorola's?
IMHO, the best contact/calendar sync is Funambol. It's open source, with SyncML clients for just about every computer and mobile phone OS on the market. I use it to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on home and work PCs, and on two mobile phones, including Atrix.
The sync is done through a Funambol server. You can make your own private server with a web-connected PC or NAS, or you can use the MyFunambol cloud server.
Best of all, Funambol is FREE for individual users.
I sync outlook with my device using MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the ATrix. Both are free, and work great!!
Hope this helps.
How can these cloud services sync desktop or mobile Outlook contacts with Android if the fields and field names are different in two systems? Some exist in one and don't exist in the other... Google let's you name your phone numbers, Outlook does not....
I will 2nd MyPhoneExplorer is awesome free app. It gives you Wifi access to both phone memory and ext. sd card...so you can drag and drop files or browse.
You can sync to outlook, thunderbird, and others.

Myphoneexplorer was fine for a while then completely screwed my appointments. Would delete appoinments everytime I added a new one then copied all google appointment to outlook appointments! When i deleted them from outlook it then deleted them from google. Uninstalled.
Hi,
Before you continue reading, this is not a question about moving contacts from one android device to another, or from an iPhone to an android (or viceversa)!!
This is my scenario: I've got my android tablet (the asus transformer) and I have 3 accounts set up there, 2 are gmail accounts (say, account A and account B) and a third corporate account (exchange activesync, call it account C)
I used account B when I was in my last job and have a lot of business contacts there. What I want to do is to have a simple way of copying some of these business contacts over to the exchange account (account C). I also would like to copy a couple from account A (personal stuff) into account C.
Any ideas? Thanks
Have you tried to export the contacts you want from the web interface of gmail?
You can select the contacts you want and export them in CSV for outlook or in vcard. I'm not familiar with Exchange but it must have some import function in a desktop client or web interface, at least of vcard.

You know, that is exactly what I don't want to end up doing because it's a waste of time.
Fortunately I found an app in the market named Contacts Copy which did exactly what I wanted to do! The interface is a bit clunky but it does the job.
Sorry for reanimation of an old thread!
But I'm facing the same problem! Is there any progress?
I was hoping, newer android versions would implement such a (simple?) function - moving a contact from one account to another doesn't seem to be so sophisticated if one has a whole synchronisation framework at hand!
Is there any contact manager out there, providing such functionality?
Thanks!
Same problem here...
I'm struggling with the same thing - I tried Contacts Copy but it just seemed to do import and export and you needed to enter a phone number. Not sure why it needs my phone number so I didn't really trust it. Anyway, if someone has had some luck I'd appreciate the help.
Just to reiterate the issue, I have an Exchange work account (a) and a gmail account (b) on my phone. I can access my works contacts database from my phone and save contacts, but they're linked to the Exchange account. I want to be able to get them from (a) to (b) simply on my phone, rather than needing to export a CSV from Outlook and upload to Gmail.

It does it !!
Only one thing is missing - search.
Also it joins original contact to copy in another account and can update existing.
Was sending contacts to myself by SMS/e-mail before.
I just updated my Razor to 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU via OTA update.
ICS is quite nice.
I experienced some minor problems (peakfinder started to act sluggish and grabatron is not anymore fluid as before, but I can live without them!)
... actually the enhancement on Wify is relevant and it seems its the new platform, at least up to JB!
Actually a much bigger problem arised for me!
With GB I was able to keep my phone contacts and calendar synced with outlook without having to use the cloud (gmail).
I installed Motorola PIM sync app and using Motocast USB I succesfully synced outlook's contacts to the Razor creating a new account (Outlook Contacts) were I could easily add new contacts also directly from the phone and sync them back to outlook using the excellent MyPhoneExplorer.
Motocast USB is needed just for the first time (it creates the Motocast USB Outlook Contacts account), then I preferred using MPE as it allows you to sync also calendar, toDos, notes, sms and calls with my Pc locally (no cloud things!).
Keep in mind that while there are also other solutions, the Motocast USB account creation is the only one that let you add to it new contacts from the phone using the default contact app.
Strangely the default contacts app doesn't let you add new contacts to the phone account.
Using instead the standard gmail account without syncing it was not an option as I experienced it syncing with the cloud even if not told to!
With ICS I replicated all the process to sync googlefree but, while the process could be replicated ...wait! I'm not anymore able to add new contacts to the Motocast USB account from the phone!
Actually the Outlook contacts account is created, but I can't select it as an option to add contacts to it from the 'contacts' app.
.... this is the problem!
I'm also looking for solutions using alternative contact apps which could work on Motocast USB account, but, as the new ICS contact application is nice (finally I can search in all of the contact's fields!) I'd like to use it.
Anyone has a solution or an alternative working contact app?
'use gmail' answers not accepted! I didn't open this thread to discuss the opportunity of using gmail !
Solution: use go contact ex!
I just want to share the solution I found to my problem.
Actually I had to resign to the fact that it seems that the standard ICS contacts app doesn't let you add contacts to accounts other than the google one:
- Phone account (not visible from 'account manager' but actually is were Mobile Phone Explorer can add your contacts as an option instead of Google account). This was not possible either with GB
- Motocast USB account (still visible from account manager, but with ICS it's not possible anymore to add contact to it).
What did I do?
1) Deleted Motocast USB account (its now useless for my purposes)
2) Synced Outlook contact with the Razr stating that I wanted to add the contacts to the 'phone' account (not google/gmail)
3) Use Go contact ex to manage my contacs and specified in the options just to use 'phone' contacts and add contact to it (they had been synced to Outlook with no issues!)
This is not the kind of solution I preferred as I had to install an additional app, but, at least I succeeded in keeping my personal data away from the cloud (at least having the illusion of succeeding in it )
