Akruto has been absolutely fantastic in syncing Outlook to my Galaxy S4. I store a heap of info (notes) within my Outlook contacts, and syncing has always been complete, until I moved a new Xiaomi Redmi Pro phone. Unfortunately, all of my long notes fields are truncating, and it appears this is a limitation in the Redmi “Contacts” app. Can anyone recommend an alternative Contacts app I could use?
Hi David,
For Android phones, the limit is approximately 1,000 characters, and it will truncate any information beyond that preventing you from editing or adding information through your phone. The limit is also about the same for most other phones.
If you use Contact Notes with a lot of characters from Outlook, there is an alternative PAID app for your Android phone that can view Notes a lot better than the Samsung native contact app. It is also capable of syncing with AkrutoSync, receiving and sending Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes from Outlook. The app is called “TouchDown”. Like Tasks and Notes for MS Exchange, you will have to configure it for AkrutoSync in a few easy steps.
If you would like to try TouchDown instead of Tasks and Notes for MS Exchange, because it shows the complete Contact Notes, you can download TouchDown for your phone from the Google Play store, here (Note that this is a paid app, but it has a demo mode of 30 days: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid
