D2vzw carbon ROM 4.3.1 firmware. Downloaded and installed the 2 4.4 apk. They both upgraded existing 4.3 no pin Email. Had to re authenticate with exchange server and now email and calendar are syncing. Contacts NOT syncing. Tried reboot, toggling the sync contacts at the app and accounts level, clearing app data for both contacts and contact storage. Any ideas?
OK so I solved my own Exchange Contacts problem, but it worked out really weird and in a way that I'm actually quite please with.
I took the steps in the post above and then gave up for a while. Checked the phone a few hours later and still no Corporate Contacts syncing;-(
So I decided to delete the Corporate account and set it up again (like maybe I should have deleted my Corporate account before every installing the Email and EmailExchange apks, right?). THIS TIME when I set it up I made one setting different--I chose the "SSL/TLS (Accept all Certificates)" instead of "SSL/TLS", but I have no idea if this really made the game changing difference.
So the usual prompts came up and Email started syncing and I went over to contacts to check the progress. WHOA! There's contacts syncing, but those aren't actually in my Corporate address book---wait, I recongnize some of them---what, I don't believe it, all of my autocomplete "NK2" contacts from my outlook are moving into my Android Corporate Contacts.
At first I didn't like it. I thought it was a problem. This never happened in 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. But then I realized that I could benefit from this. Email's biggest weakness was that I always lacked the ability to do much more than reply to messages because I don't have many of my non-global address book contacts added in my Address Book. I just rely on the Auto Complete in the TO: field that really only ever worked on a PC using the MS Outlook. NOW I have all those contacts at my fingertips on my phone, and I hide them from the People queue by ticking show only Google contacts. If I need to call one of the dozen Corporate Contacts I actually ever bothered to add to my address book, they still come up in a Search in People.
Not sure if this blessing in disguise will persist when my favorite ROM jumps the shark to 4.4, but right now in CARBONROM 4.3.1 with 4.4 EMAIL I'm loving it!
