Are any of you using MS Exchange at work hosting all of your contacts? I currently have a WinMo device and all my contacts are realtime synced with the Exchange server at work. Can I do this in Android 2.0 or will I be stuck using Gmail's contacts?

Everytime I use Corporate Directory to find someone on my company's exchange server to email, my only options for email's are my gmail account and my yahoo account but no exchange account. That doesn't make any sense to me and defeats the purpose of having corporate contacts. How do I make sure my exchange email account shows up as one of the options?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a sync issue with my Droid.When I add a contact to my phone, it doesn't sync into "My contacts" in Gmail; it'll sync into "All contacts". So, a couple of questions:
1) How can I get the phone to add new contacts created on my Droid into "My contacts" in Gmail?
2) I'm trying to understand the point of "All contacts". Why does Gmail want to keep a list of anyone that I've ever sent an email to? Otherwise, it'll be simple enough to just merge the two groups and call it a day.(Note: When I bought my Droid I did NOT have the VZW sales person transfer my contacts or any data from my old Blackberry to my Droid. I used Google Sync on my BB and synced my contacts from my BB to Gmail, then when I got the Droid, it automatically pulled my contacts from Gmail.)(FWIW, yes, I did a search and found two great threads: http://androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting/15042-how-do-i-push-droid-contacts-back-gmails-my-contacts.html and http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/15069-contacts-dont-really-synchronize.html but I have a different situation than most of those guys and I'd actually prefer to sift through and merge a couple of contacts from "All contacts" to "My contacts" every once in a while than deal with a backup and factory reset.)
I have the At&t N1 and set it up with my Exchange server. The biggest issue I've run into is that the phone seems to ignore my File As setting for the contacts. Some of them are sorted as "first last" and others are "last, first", even though in Outlook they're all the same. I've removed the account and set it back up again with the same result. Actually, after removing the account, the contacts didn't clear either, neither did the calendar.
I got the trial version of Touchdown, which eventually cleared the phone's contact list, but I could never get it to sync its contact database with the phone's. According to their FAQ there should be an option for it, but that never shows up for me. It doesn't really matter to me if I have to use Touchdown to accomplish this or not, but if I do, then I want it to sync to my phone's database because I like the Favorites tab
I have a HTC dream with Rogers. After reading several posts I finally got to connect to my companies exchange server. When first connecting it showed synching email, contacts and calendar. Problem is that I see the emails and can answer no problem. But how do I access my exchange calender? Also when composing new mail or forwarding I don't have the company contacts available through exchange, I only have the contacts on my phone which comes from gmail. Is this normal? We are on exchange 2007
View 4 Replies View RelatedI set up my ActiveSync account and it pulled in all the email, calendar, contacts, etc...but instead of just pulling in the actual contacts I have entered in my account, it's pulled in those plus the email addresses of everyone who has ever emailed me. Is there any way to filter those out?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy recurring events (classes at college) were set in January 2010. Droid syncs easily with corporate exchange server. All is well. Now, events occuring after DST here in Eastern zone are ahead by 1 hour. My 9:00 class on Tuesday March 9 is now showing as 10:00 on Tuesday March 23. I called our IT folks and they suggested it is a Droid issue. I called Verizon and they were stumped. Verizon tech called Motorola tech. I was told that this is a Google issue and there is no fix (unlike the old Windows mobile fix) and he was very sorry. Anyone have suggestions? Motorola tech suggestion was that I need to reset the events that occur after DST.

View 15 Replies View RelatedToday I finally went down to Best Buy to go and exchange my phone. The guy who did it was glad to do so. I was able to keep my same SD card. After the process was finished (in which I also bought a new car mount), I proceeded to browse the rest of the store.
I went and sat in the Studio room for a while to play with the phone, I noticed it had a loose screen. It was a very slight movement, but highly noticeable. The thing would kind of 'tap' every time I hit the back button. With the phone closed, you could push or sandwich the 2 parts together and see it smush and retract. I'm telling you it was very small but noticeably or else i would not be typing about this. My dusty phone that I had just exchanged, purchased on the launch day, was never loose and never 'tapped'.
Now I was debating for about 30 minutes weather I should go and try and get another one or not.
After a while I started obsessing over it and was making my screen go tappity tap tap tap......so I decided to go back and see about exchanging the phone. I hadn't even left the store yet.
There was a new guy at the counter, and I told him my issue. He pulled out 2 more boxed phones and also his own Droid from his pocket. He told me his did that too, and then we started comparing the phone i had to the new ones. I found on that didn't tap or wobble or anything. I asked if I could get that one and he said he had to go ask his manager. So he went and came back and said his manager told him that it isn't a defective phone and they cant return it. Then I said "what about if you showed him both of these phones?" You could very obviously tell that this new one was much tighter than the one I had got. So he said he would try, and went and asked his manager again. He came back and told me his manager wouldn't let him and that he says "all of them will eventually become loose." Almost exactly. Then I asked if I could talk to the manager.
I am not one to cause a scene but this was making me mad. I wasn't getting loud or anything but I was trying to get a different answer than "no". So the manager comes and starts saying bulls**t about how the slider mechanism needs room and that's how all slider phones are blah blah. This was the same guy who sold me the phone on launch day. I tried to explain to him that my old phone i had exchanged due to tons of dust under the screen was never loose and has been TIGHT since I bought it on launch day. He then showed me on the new phone I wanted to get that it also clicks, if you press on the OTHER side of the phone by the search key. I kept trying to convince him that it is RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. The phone I had been given is LOOSE and the one I want is NOT. But I wasn't successful. He wouldn't change his mind no matter what. I told him I'd rather have my old phone back and he said he could do that. Then he got out my old phone because it was still there and he tried to convince ME that it was clicking on the search key side. I was so mad. He wouldn't give me another new phone but he would give me my old defective one back.
Somewhere in this conversation he also made a comment about "because you keep your phone in your pocket" referring to the dust under the glass on my old phone. Are you f*****g kidding me? Who doesn't put their phone in their POCKET???
anyway, I kept the phone I was given with the "tap" screen. When the slider is open, the screen also rocks forward and back a tiny noticeable amount.My dusty phone that I returned had no wobble or "tap" at all. I swear I am not lying. I felt really bad after he turned me down after I tried all I could to prove him wrong.
Sorry this was so long but I had to share... I plan on going to a different best buy and trying again, this time maing sure I check which phone they give to me. Or I might just snap my droid in two and go and return it for a new one. I have the Black Tie warranty thing. If anybody actually reads this whole story, what do you think I should do? And am I in the wrong here? This guy basically made me feel like an a**hole for even asking about it.
EDIT: wow and I just realised that the speaker on the back of my phone is totally DENTED. I am starting to question weather Best Buy are actually selling used droids as new....
I am trying to set up an exchange server on a customers Motorola droid that they had purchased from us the other day, he brought in the HTTPS URL as well as his username and password, but when I put it in it gets hung up on authenticating the incoming server information it always comes back with unable to connect to incoming server. when i put the info into my web browser on my laptop I am able to connect fine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are alot of Threads/Post on Contacts Sync etc. I haven't found the answer though to my question, so here it goes.
Can i sync my Contacts to my PC and not use Google or the Exchange Sync? Just make a separate folder for them in the event of a phone crash etc. Maybe make a folder to put on my SD Card?
Sorry if this has already been ask before, i couldn't find any threads of it.
We have a Exchange 2007 HMC setup. We are unable to sync contacts with android versions 4.0.4 and forward. Contacts simply do not apear, and no errors are shown on the android device. (SDK emulators and Samsung Galaxy S3, and NEXUS have been tested and we cannot get them to work)
Android version 4.0.3 and below are working fine.
Activesync on IOS and Windows phone, and older Android devices seem to work fine.
Our setup is very small. CAS,HUB, MBX on same server.
We only have Exchange 2007 SP1 - Rollup 6 i am afraid. Would the issues perhaps be because of that?
Have access to an android 4.0.4 or higher and Exchange 2007 HMC or not.
I left the company where I've worked for 7 years. I have all my personal contacts synced to my former company's Exchange account. That account has since been locked, but my Galaxy SIII still retains all the contacts.
How do I move these Exchange account contacts to a specific contact list in Gmail (or another account)? When I try to do a backup of the phone, I can't find any backup program that lets me backup just my Exchange contacts.. instead. it tries to backup the 3,000 gmail "other" contacts as well, which is just a huge mess and what I don't want to retain or backup. I just want the Exchange contacts backed up.
i also have the contacts synced on my ipad, so if u know of an IOS way to do this, I can do it on there.
Here's what i'm doing :
1) Desktop PC (Outlook 2010) <> USB MyPhoneExplorer <> Phone (ICS SGS2)
This creates contacts on my phone under the "phone" category.
2) Hosted Exchange <> Wireless Activesync <> Phone
This creates contacts on my phone under the "exchange" category.
As the contacts are exactly the same, the contacts are automatically merged and i have 2 separate categories of contacts that display as 1 list which is what i'm looking for.
3) When I resync, all of my exchange contacts are deleted (both on the phone and server) which is not what I want.
Is it possible to have a single set of contacts that I can sync across my desktop PC, phone and exchange server ?
My 30 days is up in the next few days, and I have some dust under the screen. Now this is really the only problem I have with my droid, so I was wondering if its even worth exchaning for another one or will it just happen again as long as its pocketed? Did motorola fix this problem by chance with newer models?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDroid frg22d update stops syncing with exchange 2010 - Verizon Wireless Community. Apparently I'm not the only one with elevated frustration. Short version of the story:
- Spent hours on the phone w/Moto & Verizon explaining that my OG Droid will no longer connect to ActiveSync w/ Exchange 2010 SP1.
- Verizon & Moto both admit problem.
- Moto says they're working on it. Verizon says to pay $44.95 a month and it will work.
- If I hear one more "supervisor" tell me that it's my problem, and to either pay more, or use TouchDown ($20 app that sucks by the way) I am going to start a class action. Yes, I have the money, and no, I'm not bluffing.
- Please post your woes on this forum as I am starting a case # with the BBB on this matter and I need as much ammo. as possible.
i might have to exchange my phone,i have a few questions..first to get back to unroot i can just use droidmod to do that right? then should i update to 2.1 before i send it back? the person from motorola said i would keep my sd card.so then all my backups from say titanium and mybackup that i put on the sd card would be good to go on the new phone right?
