    Re: Nokia Lumia 800 unable to sync with Gmail

    Even I am having the same problem like you I'm having issues in getting my contacts from my Gmail account to my new Lumia 800. I find lots of references telling me to go to 'm.google.com/sync' on my handset however this only be ends up in a loop . I too have the contacts in vcf format although i am unable to find anything in regards to importing these in to my Nokia Lumia. Can anyone help? It's a great phone so far, but ultimately pretty useless if I can't get any contacts in there!

    I thinks this might be help you to solve the issue on Lumia 800 the all you need to do is
    1. Go to your settings
    2. Over there tab email accounts
    3. That will give you 5 options

    • Add an account
    • Windows Live
    • Google
    • Facebook
    • Twitter.

    1. Choose Google and set up your credentials for the account
    2. enter and the device will do the rest




    Take note that the syncing process will take a few minutes depending on the amount of information it has to collect from Google, like contacts, emails, tasks, calender etc. Once the sync is done Hope this helps.

    Thanks I did try this though and just receive a message saying: "It looks like you may be using a Google Apps account that is not set up to synchronies with mobile devices. In your PC's web browser, go to Mobile settings for your Google Apps account, enable Google Sync under Service settings and then try to synchronizes again. I've followed these instructions but nothing changes - it just keeps popping up with this message when I try to connect the Google account

    I don’t have Lumia 800 but this might help do the following
    1. Remove the Gmail account and it again and try to sync it
    2. Now with the Exchange account apply the manually address “m.google.com" server;


    See if this helps

    The way to go is trough the microsoft mail for exchange settings. Set up an exchange account by tapping the e-mail icon. Then go advanced settings --> type in adress and password --> choose exchange --> With gmail the settings are:

    username: "your gmail adress" (the whole thing; this is important)
    password: "gmail password"
    domain: leave empty
    server: m.google.com

    works like a dream!
