Its called contact changer and it does just that. It changes the way all of your contacts are filed to either first or last name first and you can add the company line as well...So right after a flash and my first sync I run that program and about 5-10 seconds later my contacts are perfect and it doesn't effect them on google, just how WM files them.

Well its not doing it to all my contacts which is mind boggling. I tried that program but google server keeps changing them back. There is no place in google contacts to change them to first name first. I changed the setting in Active Sync that says if ther eis a conflict to not change the device but it still changes a select few contacts... blah:protest:

I'm now getting support code 0x8000405 when my Touch Pro tries to sync with Google. I tried the usual fix of deleting the EAS account and reconfiguring but I'm still getting the error. Apparently other people are as well, there are some posts about it on Google Help? Anyone around here having this problem?

I do not know what is causing the problem, but I had a problem initially, deleted the settings and got it to work.

make sure that your username has the @gmail.com on it, your password is correct, there should be nothing in domain (and it should be grayed out once you have put the @gmail.com as this is the same information), the server should be m.google.com, and uncheck tasks and email, and only have contacts and calendar checked. If all of that is correct then I would say there may be something in your gmail account that needs to be changed (theory) or you may want to try a hard reset/different rom/

I restored to a backup from last night and it's syncing properly now. Something in the calendar must have been corrupted and causing the problem. So even though I was deleting and recreating the connection, the same corrupted data was preventing my phone from syncing with Google.

It works really well. I was using Dashwire to sync my contacts over before I found out about Google Sync, but I like Sync more because it handles my calendar in the phone's native browser, reminds, repetitions and all. If you have contacts with Google accounts as well, it makes their profile picture their picture on your phone too, which I think is neat.

and as I said earlier in this thread and I am not sure everyone picked up on, you can sync your google contacts with facebook and have it automatically port over their profile picture and other info, and of course to the phone via activesync.

I have the same error...how did you get it working? Thx

It stopped working for me shortly after restoring. I had to go back to Oggsync to get my calendar synced with Google. Ugh.

I tried doing that, and got an error message saying it couldn't install.

That is strange. I got it to work straight from my desktop and them from a folder in my documents. What os are you using?

It should ask for gmail login info, then facebook, but the fb info has to be approved within facebook.
