I had no issues transfer contacts via Gmail, hotmail or from my Evo.

i have no idea i just dunno what the hell is going on with my accounts even if it's the accounts all i know is i've been trying since i got it last thursday and nothing seems to be working i also went behind as u suggested and took the 1 out and still nothing so i dunno what the hell it is i'm doing wrong but neither me or the advanced tech heads can figure it out at this point ..

now u just brought up something interesting did u try bluetoothing them over from the evo cause i'm willing to try and see if my wife will let me use her phone and try to get em on here even though i tried with older devices i have here to sync my contacts from them with no avail .. can some1 tell me if there is bluetoothing issues with this device ??? cause i notice u really can't bluetooth to anything except headphones on this thing

I just thought of something.... do u by any chance have ur contacts arranged in groups? because I did for some reason when that happened to me. all the numbers I had in the "Latina" group did not sync properly just the names so what I did was remove the groups and resynched them and it worked flawlessly. of course this was back on my tp2 when I switched all my contacts from Google to hotmail. I imagine that it shouldn't be much different on the arrive so try that.

Just because everything worked "flawlessly" for you does not mean other users with a different phone will work.

A disclaimer should be given when purchasing the HTC Arrive - "work in progress."

It's a good phone, just not what some people want or need.

FYI, OP, it took a long time to sync all my contacts. you might try letting it sync for an hour and see if that works.

nope their not in groups i made sure of that when i got the arrive that they are not in groups still dont freaking get it ..now i got a question for any1 who wants to answer this that has a wp7 device why is it when i connect the phone to my pc it sync's music that i don't want onto it i tried taken a different approach and tried setting it to the exact folder i wanted it to sync to only to find out when i removed the folder i didn't want sync'd deleted completely out of my libraries i've had to restore my folders 14 times to get my original folders back after disconnecting my computer how the hell do ya get around it without that happening again 2 when i 1st added zune software it made my computer go completely nuts at 1st when i connected my phone it shut down twice saying it was an error and afterwards it seriously messed up my computer to the point i had to do several restores can some1 honestly tell me if there is a problem with zunes software ???

[eric12341]

I honestly don't know what ur issue is with the contacts as to why it isn't working. did u create a new live account and sync all those contacts over through exchange on the tp2? and is it the primary account setup on the phone? not sure if it has to be but its recommended that u have this one primary. as for the Zune issue I haven't had any such problems and Zune will not sync with folders that u don't have it set to sync with. once again good luck and I hope it works this time. it may also help to post ur issue over on Microsoft answers.
