Exchange ActiveSync won't sync contacts on Android

First I must say that I am not an advanced user, My laptop was setup for work, and again, the emails, calendar, and tasks are syncing with my android phone perfectly. In any event, these are the most crucial for me at this time, and cannot risk losing this information. 12 contacts were added to my phone initially, now that I've added more on my laptop thru lync,  they are not getting to my phone, unlike the emails, the phone gets an error message when I go to the settings, and turn off and on the sync button for contacts under Exchange ActiveSync for my work account, ******@truston.us.

I have cleared the caches on my mobile phone using a program called clean master, to no avail.

As far a reconfiguring my account on the link provided, all the information appears correct, so I don't know what to do, and cannot delete the account and start over (see above).

Thanks for any further assistance you can provide.

Hi DaveLehner,

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I would like to confirm if you already tried clearing your mobile cache or resetting your mobile to factory settings before **reconfiguring your account**? Most problem are caused by bad caches of mobile or some settings that are not compatible with the new look of Outlook. The best way to fix this kind of issue is to clear your mobile cache or reset your phone to factory settings and then reconfigure your account.

If the issue persists, I need you to provide us your impacted email account. These files contain personally identifiable information, such as your name and email address. Microsoft uses them to diagnose your issue. We do not use this information to contact you (outside of this issue) or market to you.

Hi, My name is David Lehner, I have a HTC Evo 4GLTE phone, and am having a similar problem with contacts not syncing on my phone with Exchange ActiveSync. Tasks, Calendar, and Mail sync fine, but when I turn off, and on the Contacts sync button on my phone settings, it gives the error "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly.", but never works. I have Windows 8 with Office, Outlook, and MS Lync on my laptop, with the Lync 2010 app on my Android phone. When Lync was installed on my phone, it added the current 12 contacts to an Exchange ActiveSync phonebook on my phone. Now I've added some more Lync contacts to my laptop, and they won't sync to my phone (see error message above), however the calendar and mail are syncing fine. Please help.
