*TUTORIAL*: Touch Pro2 > Evo 4G : Contact Switch - Page 5

Okay, I got the contacts perfectly imported into gmail. Contacts, contact picture, all fields (addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc) catagories, and the contact notes. Here is how I did it...

#1: Install Outlook on the computer. The Touch Pro 2 disk has a 60 day trial, so I just used that.
#2: Tried to sync the Touch Pro 2 via ActiveSync on my XP netbook (where I installed Outlook) but kept having problems. I ended up removing the Google Sync exchange server (via activesync) from my phone. It didn't work properly anyway (no catagories) so just removed it. I then hit help and check for updates in Outlook, and installed all the updates.
#3: Now my phone successfully synced via activesync and Outlook had all of my contacts.
#4: In Outlook hit file, Import and Export, Export to a file. Select Comma Seperated (Windows) and export it.
#5: Go into gmail and import that file into contacts.
#6: Now all of my contacts were there, with all the fields, and even the catagories. The only problem is the pictures weren't there.
#7: Then I set up the Google Synce (exchange server) with the info here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299
#8: After setting up the Google Sync, did a send/receive on my phone.
#9: After the send/receive completed, all of my contacts on gmail had pictures, and still had the catagories and everything else.

I just used ActiveSync to exchange my contacts, calendar, and email with Google Sync to my gmail account. It worked flawlessly. I first deleted all my contacts & calendar appointments from my account online via pc. Then changed my phone identity & description on my TP2 because I had peviously synced it and didnt want to end up with a bunch of duplicates and/or old info merged with new info.

how'd you get the calender to sync? I get an error unless I do ONLY contacts.

Google Sync does the calendar, contacts, and email. Just uncheck Tasks, and you're good to go

just tried again. went to settings and added calender and it tries and says Attention Needed. I click it and it says,
Result: the configuration on your exchange server prevents you from syncronizing. please contact you exchange administrator.

I kept getting the same message and after trying everything the thing that worked for me was going into my google settings and changing my password ( I just used the same password) once I did the it worked. I have no idea why but give it a try.

make sure you uncheck tasks. I unchecked everything but contacts, and it worked.

Doing it this way doesn't sync the catagories. Doing it the way I listed syncs the catagories too.
