Hello, I just got my G5 today, and I'm having issues syncing my contacts from my Microsoft account. I'm coming from a Lumia 930.
I checked under accounts and sync, and contact sync is turned on, however none of my contacts from that account are syncing to the G5. Anyone able to offer some help on this? Thanks!
If your using the outlook app you need to enable sync from there.

Dear all members,
Just to check whether how we can sync my outlook contacts and calendars with my Google account.
I have tried Google App Sync but I have encounter an error which need the Google app sync to be enabled in the email account..
Anyone know what I should do or any easy software to sync the contacts and calendars between Google and Outlook?
i think this was only turned on from 2.1 up then it was enhanced in 2.2
If you are planning on doing this only once a workaround is to export your Outlook contacts to a comma separated .csv file and upload this file to Google contacts. Works very nice, but I understand you might need to do it a smoother way if you need to sync Outlook and Google often.

Hi,
Yes, I will prefer that there will be a software which will continously sync the contacts in my Outlook with Google and that is why Google App Sync caught my mind.
But I know that I can only use it if my Google account is the premier and not the normal type.
Anyone know whether there is other software which can do the task?

Try turning Outlook off then on again?
I have noticed when ever I start Outlook now I get a popup asking about which "profile" (i think is the word used) to enable; google sync or outlook?
Syncing between X10i and Outlook (business phone is foked without this ability imo) is the main reason I am travelling along the rooting road at the moment... not started the search for the software yet.
Have installed google sync but not used yet as I am uncomfortable storing 20+ years worth of valuable networking details in that giants hands
Good luck

Thanks. I managed to find 3rd party software called Companion link but required to purchase in order to use. If the software is good, I dun mind paying for it.
Guys,
I have managed to try out the CompanionLink software whereby you can synchronize the outlook contacts and calendars with your Google account, it work perfectly so with this software, there is no hassle either you do update on your phone or PC using Outlook.
check it out if you are interested :
http://www.companionlink.com/
However, you can try it for 15 days and if you like it, you will have to purchase the license which I will be intending to purchase this software.

Guys, I just turned on my X10 first time.
When I go to Calendar app it asks me to login to Google account.
That may be strange question for users here, but - do I HAVE to login to Google
to use Calendar on X10?!
i'm using MyPhoneEx and it works well and it is free
I also use MyPhoneExplorer

?! I was asking about Calendar application...
Yeap. I use MyPhoneEx to sync outlook contact/Calendar directly into my X10. If I want to sync contact/calendar with Google, I just goto Setting ->Accounts & Sync and press sync contacts (or Calendar).
That's why your X10 asked you to log-in to google when you turned it on. If you've not log-in to Google, the calendar in X10 is still working fine but you cannot sync it with google contact (or calendar).
Hi all.
I have just purchased the above phone with NFC on the ORANGE Network (UK). I have installed the latest version of KIES and hit a few problems. This is the situation:
I have used iPhone 4s for a few months and love the way it syncs my MS Outlook Contacts & Calendar etc.
Now using KIES & MS Outlook. This is very problematic.
I have synced using KIES which seems to grab information from all over the place and installs it where it wants. within its contacts and calendar.
I have surnames where they shouldn't be, duplicate calendar dates and duplicate dates of birth or anniversary etc.
I have managed manually to sort everything out on the phone and backed it up. I will do a re-sync later and see what happens but i am thinking it will screw everything up again.
Does anyone have an idea how to get around these problems please?

Why are you involving Kies? I have my phone synching to my outlook email and calendar without Kies. I could synch my contacts too, but I don't have any in my exchange account.
Haven't had any problems with outlook sync myself but am using Activesync Exchange which syncs to my corporate email over the air. Hence don't use Kies to sync.
My only thinking is that you may have saved contacts on your sim causing duplicates. I only see duplicates if I sync multiple sources like Google contacts, and outlook but within accounts sync in the settings you can choose what to sync.
If you have a new phone, maybe worth resetting contacts as outlook is your backup.
Btw, I used to sync outlook to Google before I had the option to use corporate email. If you sync to Google then you won't need to connect via cable which is a huge benefit. I used a paid app to make sure the sync is perfect but that was a year ago.

I have similar problem on my SGS2.
Some of my contacts are quadrupled both in SGS2 and Outlook after syncing them trough Kies 2.1.1.11124_17.
And it has to be Kies since my HTC Blackstone synced with Outlook 5 minutes before SGS2 without any problems...
And NO, I don't want to keep my contacts anywhere except on SGS2 and Outlook.
And I don't have any form of corporate mail on SGS2.
Any toughts?
@ctomgee: How do you sync with Outlook without Kies? Trough Exchange?
I use gSyncIt to sync my outlook with gmail account, which then auto-synchronizes with the phone. Works perfectly.

I think you need more flexibility, personally. This is an android phone, which means your contacts AUTOMATICALLY sync to your google account.

This sounds like your best option.
Seriously, I don't even use Kies. The only reason I even have it installed still is for the drivers. If I had some motivation to do so, I would just look for the stand-alone Samsung USB drivers for my phone and uninstall Kies completely.
For duplicates in contacts, schedules, I would check Accounts and settings and look inside to see what is syncing. I had multiple calendars syncing so stopped my Google sync for calenders only. Also, I have outlook exchange and a local outlook .PST contacts folder but have seen cases where contacts was pulling from exchange and not my local backup. Default will also sync contacts to Google.
Personally, I would try resetting contacts on the phone(you can do without resetting the phone by clearing the application data in applications) and then removing and redoing the sync. I would then check the options carefully before hitting the sync button.
This is how I would do for any sync issues as have done before when syncing outlook to other sources. Trick is to have one master source and push/sync read only until you are happy, then update to sync.
Have a feeling Kies default options are not perfect but there other USB sync options in the Market like Nitrodesk, companionlink and others above.

HTC Blackstone synced to the same Outlook *.pst file as SGS2 did few minutes later. Blackstone synced trough ActiveSync and messed nothing. SGS2 synced trough Kies and quadrupled some contacts, not all of them. So it's either Kies or SGS2...

Well, my SGS2 arrived with 2.3.4 (KG2/KG1/KE1), and there was option to disable some or all parts of sync with Google. Which I partially disabled (contacts).
And they remained non-synced even after upgrade to 2.3.5, where you have NO option to disable parts of sync...
And as I wrote before, I don't like having my contacts somewhere in some cloud... I admit that is a bit old-fashioned...
Hmmm.
Just checked my phone and am on 2.3.6 SGS 2 i91000
I checked my sync settings and am able to disable individual. I did notice I have my linked in and Facebook contacts synced as well so maybe other apps are syncing? Interesting not all contacts are quadrupled. Looking at my contacts, I have pictures shown but show source of data. Pictures with a small g refer to Google contacts, pics with f refer to Facebook, pics with in refer to Linkedin. Maybe this will help indicate thesource of the data for you.

Also, you can join contacts that are duplicated into a single contact on your contacts list.

Hi,
I have synced my outlook calendar to S3, I want to sync the same calendar to my Gmail but it does not work. ( outlook import to Gmail only gives busy to the task that I have set in outlook)
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out...
What I would do is use Google calendar sync to sync outlook to your google account, and then sync your phone with that Google account.

Hi hope someone can offer some advice?
I have a LG G3 and use the inbuilt contact apps synced with my G Mail account. For work I store my contact in Outlook 2003. Ideally I would like somehow to keep my personal contacts in my Gmail account and then have another contact app running on my mobile which I can sync with Outlook on my PC.
Can this be done and if so what app would you recommend.
Many thanks for your help.
