Now I can't edit contact and add new contact to outlook.com account on my Android phone.

Its 2016, and it is still not possible to sync anything back to exchange.

I just added my hotmail.com account (which is now full exchnage), to outlook for android, and it syncs my contacts from hotmail to the phone. But not the other way round. If I edit a contact, it does not sync back.  If I create a new contact and say to put it in hotmail (rather than the default gmail), it says saved, then throws the contact away - it just dissapears from the phone and never appers in hotmail or outlook on my PC.

I have been trying for over a year to sync contacts on my PC in outlook with an android phone without buy additional expensive SW.  It is still impossible, 3 years on.  This has forced me to continue using my old iphone, as that syncs both ways flawlessly.  Is MS trying to force people to go apple, by not offering any way to sync contacts to android phones two ways?

My desktop PC, my Android phone, and my iOS device all sync just fine using Exchange.

The inability to add contacts with emails addresses to outlook.com on android earns the app a 1 start rating.

Microsoft needs to get it together and enable two-way sync.

I simply don't understand what Microsoft were thinking. this has obviously been an issue since at least 2013. that's 3-4 years. I use my tablet as my primary device. no more computer or laptop. this is the way the world is heading. i don't want to flick between google and outlook, what i am looking for is a one stop softwear program to fulfill my needs. Microsoft charge me on an anual basis for an office suite which primises to do everyting i need and compatible with android tablets and falls far short of a full functioning program. Very Very disappointed.

This issue seems to have been resolved.

I added a new contact via Android phone, and it got created in Live "People".

Updated an old contact, and it worked.

Can others verify?
