Galaxy S6 Edge :: Why Doesn't Consistently Sync With Outlook
Nov 28, 2015
Sometimes my phone syncs with outlook immediately, other times it refuses to. Why doesn't it always sync with Outlook whenever I want to check my emails? I have noticed that typically it will sync with Outlook when I check my emails first thing in the morning (say at 0700) but later in the day (say at 1300), it will still say 'last synced at 0700' and the only way I can get it to download my latest emails is to reboot my phone.
I can't seem to get my HTC Sync to sync my outlook calendar consistently. The contacts seem to work (haven't seen any issues yet) but the calendar only changes the information from my pc to the EVO, not in reverse. I didn talk with customer support and ended up re installing the software. It worked once. I tried that again, worked again but messed up my calendar on the pc. I moved all my appointments around on my phone only to find I had to do it all over again on my pc.The seond time I sync after the reinstall, well the phone changes don't go to the pc.
There was something in a forum about removing the itunes add in in outlook, I did that, no difference. What a pain, the htc diamond with windows worked great, didn't even have to hit the sync button. As soon as I made changes on the pc, the changes went to the phone and visa versa. Sync'd files too. Not this thing, had to install a seperate app for files.
After two years of service, my 8320 suddenly is unable to sync the handheld with my Outlook. It starts off fine and after a few minutes, at the point where it is downloading the calendar from the handheld the program stops working. I have downloaded the 5.0 desktop which did not help.
Downloaded the outlook app version 1.9 yesterday to my new S6 Edge and in the morning the battery was gone - from 100%! The log tells me outlook used a whopping 73% of it -
I have added my work email address to my BB and the emails come through OK (although something odd happens, if I reply to an email from my work PC, the original email comes through again on my BB). But for some reason my outlook appointments in calendar have never come through at all. My workplace uses an outlook exchange system so we can access emails off site. I recently loaded Blackberry Desktop Manager onto my desktop to see if I could sync the emails manually. This worked OK - once. However, for some reason it doesn't want to sync anymore. I ended up with duplicates of the same appointment on my BB so deleted all calendar entries, now when I try to sync this way, nothing happens.
I am out here in a another place from my home and I was trying to upload some photos I took on my GS6E so I connected it using a another USB cable and the PC didn't recognize my phone (I missed the white cable at home!). Device Manager shows a device called MTP when I connect the phone (Should be Media Transfer Protocol). I tried using the Camera Mode (PTP) but this time it shows SAMSUNG_Android.
I just got a new Galaxy S6 edge but it doesn't remember the WiFi passwords that I enter. I have moved from my parents house and It dosnt remeber the password of my new house but it remembers my parents password. I had Galaxy s5 with the same problem. I sync. everything from my Galaxy s5.
I have a problem with the message reminder on my Galaxy S6 Edge.
After installing the phone from the box all worked fine. Then suddenly message reminder stopped working despite all the settings are correct. After a complete reset (factory settings) all worked fine again for a few days and now again message reminder is not working.
I upgraded to Galaxy 6 from a 5 and somehow I had profile pictures from FB sync with profile pic (avatar) with my messages. How do I sync to this new system??
So it used to be that when I did that "rub the edge" gesture to bring up the information/notification edge stream, the time would come up first, then I had to scroll to see the stream. The time is gone now, it just goes straight to stream. I liked being able to check the time without lighting up the screen. Why it's gone or how to get it back.
When I try to send multiple photos with my new s6 edge it will only load one of the pics to be sent via txt. When I try to send a video it says it has to resize video so I allow it to do so. But then when I send the video it is half the length and very blurry.
I have the s galaxy s6 edge and I am trying to activate the video calling. Every time I try to use it it says network error has occurred. then when I tried to follow directions I found on youtube : activating the video calling option under "advance call" options I have found I don't have "advanced call" options on my phone?why would the option not be there? how do I get my advance call options?
I have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and every time it sync to my 2014 Honda Accord the volume sync and plays music at extremely low volume even on max. Compared to almost any other phone like my iphone 4s that sync the audio for my music no problem. I tried turning the media on and off and deleting the device completely off the bluetooth list and re-adding which still does not work. I am using mobilego and it sucks as it won’t let you sort the order of your music.
A week ago all of a sudden i cant seem to sync my fb to my s6 edge contacts, when i checked the fb app settings, if you keep scrolling down the facebook contacts sync is missing from the app. I'm using an s6 as well and its there and everything is working
I recently upgraded from a Note 3 to an S6 on Verizon. On my Note I had my Exchange calendar sync'd to my phone so I could see when meetings and such were. But on my S6 so far there isn't even an option listed in my calendar to display my Exchange calendar and it's quite frustrating. I've checked in Settings and Accounts and it shows the calendar should be syncing but nothing is populating in my calendar.
I am having troubles getting my Outlook calendar to show on my S6.Emails have synced perfectly well and the account is set up correctly in the same manner as my S4 and Tab 3, however my calendar isn't even available for selection on the page where you choose which items to SyncI have removed the Exchange account several times and set it up again to no avail.
I am trying to sync my outlook 2003 with the phone (mainly contacts and calendar and tasks if possible), whereas email I can set it up via pop/ imap. I am using Kies but can't import any contacts from the PC like the iphone did. Basically Kies can't even detect the phone .. just "connecting" for ages...
I tried going to settings>data usage>settings auto sync is checked. I then tried another suggestion: delete my email account and re-add, now the blasted thing says it can't authenticate my account...
I had a GS5 and I was able to sync facebook contacts to my device contact list with ease. However, I can't do the same with my GS6 Edge. Going to accounts-> facebook, only shows my account with a gray "refresh" bar saying " sync turned off" and it gives me no option to turn it on. Master Sync is turned on, and Sync from the main pulldown bar is turned on as well. I'm getting ready to chuck this phone at the wall cuz Im so frustrated. This was not an Issue with my GS5.
I'm having Outlook 2010 and Galaxy S6 sync problems (which doesn't seem rare.) I've tried two apps:
Android-Sync - can't get it installed. (Sent error log to their tech support.).
AkrutoSync - doesn't update changes in Outlook. When I hit "sync now" the edited contacts say "synched" at current time, but nothing changes. ALSO: All calendar events are doubled.
I've been a long term BB user and loved the fact I could connect BB to laptop and everything would sync automatically.
I've installed Kies with no problems and sync'd everything but there is no option to sync MS Office Tasks. Is this for real? Surely there has to be a way for Kies to sync Office tasks in this so called smart phone?
I've got an S2. I tried to connect with the exchange server from my company. It works but there are one problem. The calender can't be sychronized..better to say I can't see my appointments. What can I do? Is there somebody where it works? I think everbody knows the problem with the lock screen.... the display is always locked after the display timeout....of course I can increase the time for the display timeout but i think my battery will be empty very quickly...is there an option to increase the time for the locked screen?
So I just recently got a S6 edge and I love everything about it ! But often times when I launch the camera it starts to make a buzzing noise and the screen gets all wavy and doesn't focus for a while.. What could be wrong.
I can add an event to my Outlook calendar on the computer and it will sync to my calendar on my Galaxy S5 but when I add an event on my phone it does not sync with the desktop calendar. Is there a setting I'm missing to fix this?
syncing of outlook 2003 with the SGS2.I am using Outlook 2003 and am about to get a SGS2 and need to sync the contacts and calendar is there a way of doing this directly from PC to phone without Google or servers and stuff?
On my Blackberry Storm 2 syncing Outlook was a breeze. To achieve the same on the SGS2 seems to be a bit of a mystery!
I downloaded a 14 day trial of Deja Office thinking this would make the process easier - seems I made a mistake! I find it very tricky and at best, temeramental. I've also tried KIES but this seems to be universally disliked!
So what are the options? I don't mind paying for a 3rd part App to achieve this, though I expected this to be a fundamental feature. My Outlook Contacts number about 1400 & I'm not overly fussed about using Google unless there are real benefits to do so.
