I tried searching for the Andriod Applications thread, but was unable to find it and hence posting my question here. I want to sync my phone contacts with my MS outlook - how do i acheive this? Little bit of researching threw up an application named "Companionlink" however this is a paid one. Is there any free application in android that i can use for this purpose? I use a Samsung galaxy S.

You can do it either by "Add account" under CM7 or in general by adding an email and specifying it as exchange. Under the sync options will be an option to sync contacts.

Try adding your exchange address again.

Guess what, one of my friend just bought GS II in Delhi thru a dealer at 27.5
as the dealer was his friend he claims this is the landing cost to the dealer.

Thanks for your response. Me exchange account has been successfully configured, no problems there. The phone gives me an option to even view my outlook contacts in the phone address book, but the reverse isn't possible. I want to see the phone contacts synced to my outlook and be available when viewed using my PC. My previous nokia E63 had this functionality. Any suggestions apart from this companion link application?

hey ghpk thanks for the news. That is a great price. I was worried to buy it in India because of rumors flying thick that the SoC in SGS 2 sold in India is not exynos but Tegra which basically means reduced performance from the phone for HDMI play back or media intensive process. If you go to the spec sheet in India they don't specify Exynos unlike in UK where it is clearly mentioned. The tegra chip is cheaper than the Exynos. Taking Indian's for a ride??

999 Mailed the friend to check, will post specs if i get a reply from him with full technical details of the handset.
will tell him to use any software which can print and place entire phone info on a text file, like network info II,
ofcourse his IMEI number will be hidden when posting

Thanks ghpk. I wanted to ask you that, then I know your friend will be too busy for the next few days . It is similar to ask for a friend for test drive 2 days after buying a new car

I once got 38 hours from Defy before it hit 15% mark when it was stock.

Try un-syncing contacts from the google account and syncing it only to outlook? Mind you - backup things before u try this. it should work.

Umm, excuse me. NVidia has been far better /longer in making chips than Sammy. Tegra is the reference SoC for Honeycomb. Clearly you've been misinformed. Its exynos that's there for the low cost.

Theres a promo code floating around (rcomlb1) which would give you good discounts too.
Like Jabra Arrow becomes Rs.2,719 instead of 3199.

I'm new to Android (LG P500). I'm curious about this "Phone Idle" usage percentage shown. For me, a high % appears even when I'm using the flight mode (having never even turned on the networks after booting)! What does the "Phone Idle" usage signify in this case?

Also, I could never turn off the vibration completely (even after fiddling with all possible settings). e.g. it bugs me no end when the haptic feedback jars me every time I unlock the screen!

Lastly, is it possible to disable the screen lock somehow if I so wish (without affecting the display-turn-off feature)? I dislike having to do it all the time, even when I don't need it. Thanks.
