Want solely to sync Outlook contacts - nothing happening
Posted: Sat Mar 29, 2014 9:07 pm
My personal computer is a Windows 7, running Outlook 2010 (32-bit). My new phone is Android. So I wish to sync my Outlook contacts with the Contacts application on the phone. Today I installed the trial version of the PC software and downloaded the Android app to my phone. Setup wizard is easy to follow and the pairing of the devices is successful. I selected the options of (a) 1-way synchronization (from Outlook to Android) but (b) involving Contacts solely, no Calendar. Process ended, but with nothing copied over. Subsequent re-tries of both the 1-way and 2-way sync also end as "Successful" but still with nothing in my Android contacts file.
I have not tried syncing both Calendar and Contacts to see if that would help, as I clutter up my PC calendar with a ton of personal reminders that I neither want nor need on my phone, so any calendar data I might transfer to my Android would need to be purged subsequently and that might take some considerable extra doing. All I want is a clean way to copy just my Outlook contacts to my phone.
Suggestions? Thanks.
