Windows 10: Syncing Lumia (640) and PC.

Is there a way to force syncing phone and PC, mainly People APP ? Sync is activated on both devices but it may take days to actually do it. Both are activated on same hotmail account and signed in.

sync Google calendar to Lumia 640

Dear Community,

I use the Google calendar on my Windows PC and on my Android tablet. They sync fine: as soon as I enter a new item, it appears on the other device. But not on my Lumia 640.

Do you know how to sync all Google calendar data unto the outlook calendar (or any other calendar) on the Lumia 640 running Windows 10.

Thanks and best wishes,

W10 syncing issue

all the settings are set as it should be

Still no sync

phone Lumia 640 XL

 

Did you get this resolved, Mike? It should sync upon opening any app on PC or phone.

 

No, still nothing, had People for instance opened at same time on both devices. , Added people, changed data and names, edited entries and nothing.
It's 15063-11 on PC and 10.0.15063.2 on the phone. Same hotmail account and both signed in, even on same router. There should be something like "Sync now button".
There is an option to reset People APP but I'm afraid it may leave me without any contacts.

 

It may be an MS server problem. There are sync options in the/your apps' menus, yes?

 

Yes and they are all enabled.

 

Thanks, but what I meant was do the "sync now" buttons on the menu bar in the apps? Do those work? Here's mine on WP10.

I remember early on in WP8 having a sync problem. It worked itself out after few days. Thought maybe it was a MS server problem.

 

No, don't have that option at all.

 

Do you have 8 or 10? If you have 8, if I remember right, those are in the 3-bar hamburger menu.

 

CountMike, I had this problem once and I remember having to actually log out of the email account. Delete the email account from the computer i.e. outlook or the email app and NOT from outlook.com. Then recreate the email account (with the app in question i.e. outlook or the email app), and everything I had started to sync again. In theory, you shouldn't lose any contacts as they are on MS Servers. But as we always preach here on this forum...make a backup first.

I believe @HippsieGypsie is right about just waiting it out too. But on that note...mine have been syncing just fine over the last couple of days.

Anyway, good luck and let us know what you find.

 

As I said before, It's 15063-11 on PC and 10.0.15063.2 on the phone all signed in on same hotmail account where everything worked right for over a year. Syncing was almost instantaneous, not many entries were changed. It was easier for me to change on the PC and just let it sync at first opportunity (when I log the phone in with WiFi to my router). I don't have a problem with it if it wouldn't sync automatically and had to force it but I can't see a way to force it either.

 

Sorry that I overlooked your OSs earlier. *Redface

In the wake of new changes in Outlook.com, did you receive an email concerning this: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...6-e79454ac5eb3

You probably have checked already, but you may want to check your credentials in your devices' account again to make sure all is good.

As far as no menu bar with sync buttons is concerned, I'm baffled on that one. Perhaps phone screen size? Mine is a Lumia 1520 with a 6 inch screen. All in all, there should be a sync button somewhere.

 

Hmmm, that's possible fix for PC not phone, PC is OK and I use just mail APP. Nowhere on the phone can I find that symbol.
