Syncing Outlook with Lenovo Vibe Shot & Outlook?

Hi Eric,

Is this your Lenovo phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_shot-7046.php? If it is, then it is compatible for AkrutoSync. AkrutoSync will synchronize your contacts, calendar, tasks and notes between Outlook and your devices. It works on Android, Windows phones, and iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).

Here is the general guide in using AkrutoSync’s trial version (or even paid and first-time installation):
Pre-installation, Download, Installation, Activation, Configuration, Sync of the Trial Version
Installation/Connecting
What you need to do before you set up your sync is to export all contacts from the phone and import them into Outlook. Once they are in Outlook, then you can delete them from the phone – you only do this process if Outlook is not updated and complete for Calendar and Contacts. When you set up your first sync, they will sync to the phone and now will be locked in the AkrutoSync account which will allow you to edit them on the phone or in Outlook.

Here is a link for you to export the data: https://www.akruto.com/backup-phone-contacts-calendar/

After that, delete all calendar entries, contacts, tasks, and notes from your phone.

Configuration
AkrutoSync will synchronize your contacts, calendar, tasks and notes between Outlook and your devices. It works on Android, Windows phones, and iOS devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch).

You must install AkrutoSync on your computer and it will guide you through the configuration process. You will not need to install anything on your phone, but you will simply have to add an Exchange account and login with the “de-facto” email address and password provided in the AkrutoSync window on your PC. This is what is needed for your phone to communicate, and ultimately synchronize with Outlook on your PC.

You can choose to Sync over the Internet, or via Wi-Fi. Akruto is cloudless, and syncs directly to your devices. We recommend syncing via Wi-Fi because it is slightly easier compared to setting up sync via the Internet. Syncing over the internet is for the users that leave their computer in the same location all the time and where it is always on. The user can then take their mobile device and sync from wherever they are. This means the mobile device should be on a 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi network.

Syncing over Wi-Fi means the phone has to be in range of your Wi-Fi to run the sync. This setup is a bit simpler and is easier to update as the computer moves around and gets a new IP address.

You can try out the software and see if it works for you before you actually purchase it. You can download the 7-day free trial here: https://www.akruto.com/get-akruto-sync/

The email address AkrutoSync is giving you during configuration, is the username@IP address. The username is the username you provide, and The IP address is the IP of your computer. The program uses the IP as a channel to sync your contacts, calendar events, notes and task with

your phone. if you continue on with the setup, you will enter that email address into your phone to sync.

NOTE: if you have downloaded the trial version but used the incorrect process for the installation and configuration, please reconfigure AkrutoSync.

TIP:
Sync over home network – NOTE: make sure to use Wi-Fi ONLY on the phone while you are doing this. Cellular/mobile data or data usage must be OFF on the phone.
Sync over the Internet – NOTE: make sure to use cellular data ONLY on the phone while you are doing this. Wi-Fi must be OFF on the phone.
