Getting google contacts to phone
 

Is there any working way of pulling my Google Contacts to Harmattan phone?

I tried syncgcontacts and syncevolution to no avail... :-(

Yup, there is. Set up a Mail For Exchange account using your google account, and then you can sync your contacts.
Here is a guide that also covers Google Calendar: http://www.tizenexperts.com/2012/03/...mail-nokia-n9/

The guides of 2012 do not apply in 2014, as Google dropped support for Exchange sync in 2013: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2716936?hl=en

I finally managed to do this using https://openrepos.net/content/holgern/syncevolution and http://askubuntu.com/a/360556

(Note that you need holgern version of syncevolution, not rzr's)

Why do you need the 2 link? Is syncevolution not enough?

I didn't memorize syncevolution command line parameters yet. ;-)

Yet somehow I am using this exact exchange setup for mail, calendar and contacts for 3 months now (I re-flashed my N9 for a clean start).
To have multiple google-calendars, you need to set up a caldav account and use the following server-url: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/EMAILADDRESS/ .

Whoa! So they must have reenabled it.
I tried few months ago and failed, learning that Google dropped support for Exchange.

Thanks for pointing out. :D

No, they didn't. I get the same as last time:

Synchronisation failed
Cannot connect server

:-(

Also, this URL didn't work for me.

According to https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/99358 it is https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[id]/events which worked for me

About google Exchange support. If your Exchange account has been set up on your device before the end of Google support then it should work (Google didn'tbstop a service working). But if you want to set up an exchange account on a new device, it doesn't work.


I can't find the folder .config/syncevolution. How to set up syncevolution then ��?

Re: Getting google contacts to phone
 

Ahh... Makes sense.


Following http://askubuntu.com/questions/36055.../360556#360556 what worked for me is:
I'm too afraid to setup two-way sync.
syncevolution misconfiguration destroyed my Google Contacts once and I do not want an retry. ;-)
But the same askubuntu question has two-way sync setup answer, you may want to try.

I just moved contacts from google to outlook.com - exchange sync works OK this way :-)
