[Q] Contacts not updating to Exchange [Solved: See Solution in first post]

Hi,
I have a problem.
My contacts are not updating to Exchange.
When I add a new contact via the phone (selecting the exchange account) it does not get updated to the exchange contacts. Any ideas what I would be doing wrong?
My Sync is on, background data is on.
System specs:
I am running MIUI Rom (v22) but had the same problem with opendesire before I switched. Now using Cyanogen, ROM version does not matter
Email.apk version: 2.2
Contacts version: 2.2
Now Solved:
Possible Reason: Changed ROMs too many times
Solution requirements: Exchange 2007 with Owa and internet explorer then you can do it yourself else you need to get your IT guy to do this.
Solution:
a. Go to OWA (in IE) and delete all instances of your android device from there under the mobile devices tab.
b. remove your exchange account from phone and add it again.
To test:
c. Add new contact,
d. disable sync and re-enable for exchange account from accounts screen.
repeat step D if contact doesn't get updated.

Any ideas guys???

Use the search ... there must be an topic with the same problem ... there is an link to an stock e-mail app whitch should work.

hi philj,
i only asked the question after i scoured the forum and google for about 2 hrs
I'll try and replace the email.apk and see if that helps

So I changed Roms, went to Cyanogen mod new RC.
My google account syncs two way perfectly not exchange.
Using touchdown doesn't help because you can't add contacts to it with either CAM card or from the accounts application.

Problem solved: google contacts sync

I looked for 2 months trying to find the answer to this. For anyone with the same problem, if you get the dreaded "Google sync is unavailable, it will be back shortly." here's the fix.
1. Backup your contacts to a .vcf file using the export function
2. Delete all google contacts on your phone
3. Go to settings - applications - manage applications - Contacts Manager - clear all data
4. Re-sync using settings - accounts - sync now
Worked beautifully for me.

[Q] doubled Google contacts

Hey guys,
I got the following issue:
When i open a contact in my phonebock i got twice google datasets per User.. i can remove them manually but it is really annoying to do this on each single contact..
It worked perfectly before the flash :/ what went wrong? Is it a known issue?
Sorry for my English
Acutally i have flashed revolution hd..

Edit: Just remembered from my previous experience, contacts wouldn't sync properly / fully / some doubled......
You shouldn't need to, but you might want to backup you conacts (export) from gmail to pc, just in case.
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Disable "Sync Gmail contacts".
Menu / Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Contacts & Storage / Force stop & Clear data
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Enable "Sync Gmail contacts"
Wait for the sync to finish.
Then, open the 'people' app
Menu / View --> tick box "Google" only.

I had this too the first time I flashed a rom and recovered a back-up of my apps and data. However, I have all my contacts in the cloud. All in gmail/google account.
So what I do now when I flash a Rom, fully wipe it and recover apps and data is: that I do not recover my contacts, but just let them reload from my google account.

That helped me alot! Just logged into my google account and went to my contacts .. there is a feature which can merge duplicates! And thats it..
Since it is possible to sync my contacts and calendar/events via google i am only using this feature..! actully my comptuer sync is only for files/music and other stuff..

[Q] No calendar sync option

I'm having trouble getting my calendar to work. I'm using CodefireX (the pmem version) with the most recent GApps package. When I load the calendar app, there is nothing there and I can't add any new events.
When I click on the settings button and click on my account, it says "no calendars," and when I look at the sync options under my Google account (going through the regular system settings menu), there is no option for calendar, just browser and contacts.
Edit: I also tried flashing an older version of GApps but to no avail.
Edit 2: Apparently it's a known bug. I missed it when I read the change logs. Please disregard.

Cannot connect Google Contacts to my Google Account

Has anyone had problems connecting their google account to the google contacts app?

Yeah, I have that issue too on mine. I figure it is something to do with Google service not being native and the MIUI stuff being the defaults.
I just got it today, so I figure I just have to wait till Sunday to unlock, and flash the EU ROM.

I had to export my google contacts and import them into the native contacts app
This is at least a work around until maybe the final Global Rom is released and we see if it supports google's contact app
Goto -> h t t p s : / / www google com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=1 -> click more -> export
Save contacts.vcf to phone storage
On Phone goto Settings -> scroll down to system apps -> contacts -> import/export contacts -> import from storage

I had issues syncing google contacts with the Chinese ROM. I think installing 'google contact sync' via apk from apk mirror solved it (there is also a Google calendar sync). I can't quite recall as I'm now on eu rom and everything works perfectly.

Installed EPICRom, and everything is perfect now.
MIUI 9 and all Google Services are working

I installed the EU MIUI, and everything works as well.
