I am sure it's been covered, but I can't sync this to get my Google contacts for anything. I keep getting error code: 0x80072ee7
This is my first WimMo phone so go easy!
go to your gmail on your pc, then you want to go to contacts, then export contacts, and save them as an outlook file...then you want to log into windows live (if you dont have an account, make one up, and you can still use another email (you dont have to use a hotmail account), then after loading your contact file into windows live on your pc via the web, then you want to open windows live on your phone, and log in, then your contacts will sync, and be saved, like google, on windows live....
your lucky i was in a helpful/good mood because i just picked up my HD2, this all is windows help search away...
although you might have done this, a bit more info on how you got the error would be good...
There was a good thread about this in the HD2 General forum, unfortunately I can't remember the title. You can probably find it with a good search. It's within the last few days.
Basically.. in Settings -> Data Services -> ActiveSync, you can set up an email account that links to your gmail account and syncs the contacts. The account type should be Exchange. That's as much as I can remember. Just do a thread search, you'll find it.
if your contacts are on your gmail account, you can install SEVEN from here (You have to join their beta program and once you do, you can click on the "download software" link. Please select the consumer edition, and agree to the terms (read them carefully first, the reason is explained below). When you do you will be presented with the choice to receive a text message on your phone or other download options, select other download options, select HTC as the manufacturer and select either the P3450 or the T8282 as your model (the HD2 is not officially supported, but it works well at least on mine) and then you can download the cab.
The catch with SEVEN is that when you set up your account, it will send a text message to a number in the UK, they do that to register your phone on their system, and they only do it once per email account, although if you flash your phone and reinstall SEVEN, it will send the message again when you add your account again.
When you set up your account, you will be able to sync your email, your contacts and your calendar, and it will be setup as push. You can do this with gmail, AOL, yahoo, hotmail, and even custom accounts.
Hope this helps.
Phone the sound of it, you already set up an activesync to get your gmail email/contacts/calendar. I'm guessing you didn't unselect 'tasks.' If that is the case, then just go to activesync and in options, unselect 'tasks.' This should fix your problem (google doesn't support tasks so you can't sync them).
You can also deselect the tasks in data settings in the settings tab.

When I run Windows Live, I only see "Messenger" and "Sync", although the info page claims that Hotmail, contacts etc are installed.
How do I get onto Hotmail?
Please can some-one help a damsel in distress, as I am starting to get rather frustrated with this device.
from touch flo screen, scroll across to the email envelope. There you should see your hotmail email.
I can see my normal pop email account (which I have set up, and is working), but there is no hotmail account.
Are there any special setup parameters that I should be using?
No, it is automatic. Have you gone into windows live itself and checked the settings. Did you check the option sync email? You can always try again - just delete your account (the option is in one of the Live menus).
Thank you so much, Ardsar. I had failed to click the Sync emakil option.
It's now working. Cheers.
Hi
My htc hd2 i have set up my hotmail email on this phone, but when I select an account hotmail it is grayed out.
I need to delete this account and then set it back up again, but when i try to delete it i can`t delete it as its greyed out.
Any advice
regards
op
Go to Start, Windows Live, Menu, Account Options and from there you can either clear the password (so you can enter another, if you got it wrong), or you can switch windows live ID.
It automatically ties your hotmail account to windows live, so you can't make changes via the email application as windows live does more than just email.
Is there a way to setup 2 exchange accounts? I had an iPhone before I switched to the HD2 and had downloaded an application which allowed me to configure more than 1 exchange account. I would like to have my work and Gmail setup as exchange push. Is it possible?
Hi 94loranger
It is possible to do two exchange accounts with the HD2 but I'm not sure about two lots of e-mail. I'll give you an example, we have a shared account for our company appointments and one for our own e-mail and contacts. On my HD2 I have 2 exchange accounts, one to the shared calendar and one to my work e-mail. I also have an IMAP account specified for my own personal e-mail server.
To get the two exchange accounts setup you have to get the sequence right or it doesn't work. Also once you have done this activesync / mobile device centre will show an error every time you connect as they can only cope with a single exchange account. It doesn't stop you from accessing the phone though my computer though.
Starting with a new phone, no accounts setup tap Start -> Tools -> Active Sync. Then tap menu -> new server. Enter the details for your exchange server and when you get to the final screen un-check the items you don't want to sync for this account. In my setup I un-checked everything except the calendar. Complete the wizard and let it sync.
Once this is done tap Start -> E-Mail. Tap the "Setup E-Mail" option and follow it though. If you opt to setup another exchange count. You will only be able to synchronise the items you didn't select when setting up the account through active sync wizard. For my setup this accounts does the e-mail, contacts and tasks. Complete the wizard and let it sync.
You can go back to Start -> E-Mail and setup any other POP or IMAP accounts you need.
I hope this give you some clues as to how you want to achieve what you want. I found the clues on a website somewhere, just can't remember where
Take care,
Ryan
I will try to set it up that way and see if it works. Thanks

Google Sync on PC only syncs the calendar items with Outlook. Unfortunately, this means that if I add a new contact using Android, it won't be on my Outlook. I will have to boot into Windows Mobile, allow WM to sync with Gmail (MS Exchange), then sync WM with my PC's Outlook. This is counter-productive lol

Activesync don't work on Seven / Vista !
In Windows 8, we can login our email account. I am unsure if it restricts to Microsoft account (hotmail account). Currently, I am using GMail account for email client, calendar, address book, etc. As the account is used for work and personal cellphones, I do not want to switch to hotmail for the time being. Under such circumstances, which login account is more appropriate for me? Appreciate your advice!
The login account must be an MS account (or a local one like in previous versions, but then you don't get the benefits of integration like sharing bookmarks and settings across devices), but you can add Google accounts after logging in. However, be aware that Google recently decided to severely limit the access that new Microsoft devices have to Google accounts (as though I needed another reason not to use my gmail...) so while you can set up IMAP access for email, I'm not sure that either calendar or contact sync will work.

I have set up the email programs in "metro" to access my home, work, and gmail accounts. My calendar syncs with the Google calendar. So you should be able to use these. However, I am not impressed with the native email program, and I generally use Thunderbird on the desktop side (the Lightning plug in will access the Google calendar).
When I set up my computer, I logged into the microsoft account using my home email address (which I have previously set up in my MS account).
I use gmail to loggin my account on windows 8.

Yeah, I seem to recall that I signed up for MS passport a while back. But I never used it until Win 8 (so far as I know).

use BING and then create a Microsoft account their site will allow you to keep your gmail as the name.. Every Microsoft account will get a free Hotmail account associated to their username, if you have outlook it will get upgraded to outlook.com... this will happen if you're running outlook 2013 or office 365
Google has made changes that do not allow WP8 devices & Windows RT devices from accessing m.google.com/sync directly now. However, theres is a work-around to sync to multiple Google calendars. Please follow these steps from your desktop computer:
1. In IE10, click on the Tools button (Alt+T)
2. Click on F12 developer tools
3. In the window that pops-up, click on Tools
4. Expand the "Change user agent string" tab and select "Apple Safari (iPAD)"
5. Go back to the IE10 window and go to exactly this URL: "https://m.google.com/sync/settings/" (with the https and the slash after settings)
6. Sign into your google account if you aren't, already.
7. Click on "WindowsPhone"
8. In the URL, if you see this string (without the quotes): "supportMultiCalendars=false", change this to "supportMultiCalendars=true" and reload the page.
9. Now your google calendars will show up. The main google calendar will show up as "My Calendars". The other calendars will show up as "Shared Calendars" and calendars under this option will not be selected.
10. If you cannot select these "other calendars", disable JavaScript in IE10. Do this by following instructions here (these instructions are for IE9, but apply to IE10 also):http://browsers.about.com/od/interne...script-ie9.htm
11. Select the calendars you want to add.
12. Click on "Save".
13. On your WP8 device, go to settings -> email+accounts and sync your Google account.
14. Open the Calendar app on your WP8 device to make sure your "other Google calendars" now show up in the app.
This fixes the calendar issues on Windows RT and Windows Phone devices also.
Strange as my Gmail calendar works fine on my new windows 8 ultrabook without having to do anything

A single calendar is expected to (although that may change, the way Google restricted mail access a while back) but multiple calednars, if you want them all to show up, have historically required the above steps. I currently have only one Google Calendar (and barely even use it) so this isn't something I know from experience, but on Windows Phone it was known to be required and Win8 connects in the same way as the phone.
