How to Sync Messages And Contacts From AT&T Samsung impression to PC
My question is how can I Sync Messages And Contacts From AT&T Samsung impression to PC ?聽 I remember that I was told when I purchased my samsung聽 Impression phone that I would be able to sync with Outlook on my PC. I have only been able to sync images, but not data. The phone comes with New PC Studio, but it does not come with a user guide. Does anyone know if this phone is capable of syncing data , including contacts, calender, etc. Thanks. AT&T Samsung Impression info
Reference Answer: The only way to backup your contacts on an Impression is to buy a second SIM chip and backup your contacts to it.
Reply:The Impression can not use PC Studio 3.1 to manage contacts or sync with a computer. If you use 3.1 it will double all your contacts when you sync it.
Reply: i havent tried it yet but if im not mistaken you should be able to select all your contacts and send them bluetooth to your pc. im on my laptop now witch does not have BT, but when i go home later i will try it on my desktop. if it works you could get BT usb dongles pretty cheep. my biggest thing with this phone is not being able to change the dam wall paper on the lock screen. anyone figure anything out with that? ill report later on the contact exchange with the bluetooth.

I am not sure about syncing calendar but you can definitely sync outlook contacts easily by going to the samsung website and downloading the eternity pc studio software. Remember as of May 09 this software works only on the xp and not on the vista as claimed.
ATT or Samsung may not recommend switching software between eternity and impression but it works and outlook sync is very important to me.
I have found that Mobile Master identifies the Samsung A877 and transfers contacts and calendar info without a problem.
Download it from link below

I have downloaded the Mobile Master and it is not working with my phone. It keeps coming up with error messages when trying to sync with the phone. What do I do?
The PC studio for the Samsung Eternity has the option to back up contacts and calendar and it works with the Samsung Impression. I don’t know why the new PC Studio does not have this ability, but if you go to the AT&T downloads for the Eternity and download that software, you’ll be able to back up your data.
I have the Impression and the software for Eternity does see the phone and seems function almost?? When I’m in Message Manager and import messages from phone to see on PC I can reply to them no problem but I can not delete them from the phone using this app?? Also when connected to pc/laptop when txt comes in I can open it and reply on the computer but the phone does not recognize that I have done so and the “new message” alert keeps sounding? I have these issues on laptop running Vista as well as a desktop running XP? Any thoughts?
Downlaod the PC Studio for the Samsung Solstice. I just downloaded and installed onto Vista64 and imported my contact information without any problems. You will also be able to use all the other Studio functions with you Impression as well. Download a the following link:

Adam. Thanks sooooo much for putting that link on here for the Solstice!!!. I was getting very frustrated with the Impression if it didnt have Outlook sync capability. All my contacts (432 to be exact) were not going to be manually put in by hand back in to the new phone. I was about to take it back when i found this blog. This one works better than the Eternity software. (tried that one first) Eternity software never put the contacts on the phone. Anyway thanks for the help! You saved me trip back to the AT&T store to figure out how i was gonna make an iPhone work for me. The main reason i liked the Impression was the qwerty keyboard. Have a great day!
Adam, absolutely nothing short of brilliant! Like Randy, I was about to abandon the Impression (manually downloading almost 600 contacts just wasn’t going to happen). However, after downloading the link you provided for Solstice, I was able to easily synchromize my Outlook contacts, calendar, tasks & memos.
I primarily only use the phone & SMS features, but I also need PDA-type capabilities for contacts & calendar. The notion of paying AT&T $720( =$30/mo for 2 years) for data service made no sense whatsoever.
I’m not sure why Samsung would publish and market such an easy feature…but thank you so much for sharing this valuable advice!
Adam, thank you soooo much for the link…..I tried three other downloads from Samsung and other none of which worked. Just when I started to lose hope, I found your link. Worked perfectly to sync my outlook contacts! Thanks again!
Adam,
THANK YOU!! This saved me a lot of time. I tried other versions of PC Studio w/no luck.
Yeah man! The Solstice software works perfectly for me. I wonder why Samsung doesn’t point people to that link instead of the crap they told me to download.
Thanks!
Dude, you are the man!
Thank you SO much, Adam! All I wanted to do was back up my contacts to my PC as I’d done previously, and the program I got at the link you gave let me do that whereas the software that came with my Impression didn’t!
Lynn.
Adam, I would like to echo the sentiments of several others who have saved countless hours entering their contact info due to the brilliant discovery of the Solstice software for the Impression. Thanks a million!
