Sync contacts from exchange

I have setup exchange account on my N1, and checked the mark to sync contacts.
It only syncs contacts from the main "Contacts" address book, however I have several other address books. Do you know of a way to sync them too?

I use nitrodesk touchdown for my exchange mail - it is really good they do a 5 day trial and it will enable you to sync your conatcts to the phone. I ended up buying the software for 19.99 just because it was really good exchange client

thanks for your reply.
I have tried it.. and actually didn't quite like it.
Eventually I have moved most of my contacts to gmail, and kept the rest in one contact list on exchange.

[Q] Sync Calender?

So I have 2 main email Adresses conected with my Phone.
One is my Xbox live account and the second one is the Primary calender and Gmail account I use. Both are Gmail Accounts.
The Problem is that the calender syncs neither of those accounts.
How do I fix that?
it is set to Sync in the options.
Thanks in advance!

wp7 can currently sync the 'main' calendar from any of your email accounts. It wont sync either of them? It should be able to sync both calendars if you want to (only the primary calendar for each).

Thanks for the quick reply
so I tested it with both accounts. It does sync the calender if I enter the date on the pc, but it does not sync it back to the gmail calender if I create the event on the phone.

hmm..that is weird. I put things on my phone all the time, and they end up in my online calendar as well. Although I just use my hotmail calendar.
Try unchecking the sync with calendar box, and redoing it. I really don't know why it only sync's one way, maybe somebody else can chime in?

I know thats the weird thing.
So i did some testing the primary email acc is the [email protected] addy, but the main acc I use is the other one.
If i use the calender on gmail it wont work, but it will copy from the hotmail cal to the phone but not back to the hotmail cal.
And my main acc doe not sync at all.
it is very weird, maybe because I have two accs?

I just tested with my Google Calendar. Put in an appointment on phone, and it was up online within seconds.
Then I deleted that event online, and was taken off phone. I then added a different one online, and it was sent to the phone calendar almost instantly.
Worked very well, so not sure whats causing your issue

Google Exchange

Hello,
I have set up my exchange account and email and contacts work great. The only issue that I'm having is that all my calendars won't sync. Only my main calendar syncs. Any ideas? My personal category syncs, but my home and work categories won't sync.

[Q] Google calender won't sync

My college (UCD) give us out a customised gmail account with our timetable, email and all on it. I had it synced with my old GS2 grand.
But now when i add the account to my phone it wont show up on my calendar even though it says it is synced. BTW my normal google account syncs fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Maybe because it's a shared calendar. So events are not created with your "customized gmail account", but with your college's and those events are shared with you. To sync every calendar, follow these steps. It works for me well.

another gmail Q
i keep getting duplicates of each email i recieve. in my phone under "settings", "email+accounts" i have my google gmail acount set up, i also signed in to my microsoft account to download the apps and get my avatar from xbox on the phone. the username for my microsoft account is my gmail. could this be the problem? any help is appreciated, thanx:fingers-crossed:

Google has removed calendar sync via ActuveSync.

Check out this post on the Outlook blog about using Outlook.com to check/send your Gmail account. This will let you use your existing email on your Windows Phone by adding only your Microsoft account to your phone, and you don't have to change your email address or anything. Also, I use my gmail address as my Microsoft account login, and it is fine. Your MS Account login can be any email you want.

Next, this post on wpcentral explains how to import those gmail calendars into your Microsoft account via Outlook.com. Hopefully it will help you.

microsoft exchange sync issues

I have a xperia z3, and 2 weeks ago upgraded to lollipop (5.02). All had been fine until yesterday. I lost all the contacts from my phone (calender also). This is very frustrating to say the least.
All my contacts and calender a have been syncing directly through microsoft exchange activesync for my business account. I am still getting email through that account.
I have tried deleting my exchange account and re installing without success several times. For some reason the exchange account is only showing up in email. I have tried adding the account to the contacts->menu->setting -> add account; also to settings-> accounts->add account. The only place the account installs is under settings->accounts->email (in this location, there is no option to sync calender, contacts, notes)
This is driving me crazy! I do to want to re-install my OS, but I can not think of any other options!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
