My phone appears to be syncing at least daily, but corrections to my contacts in MS Outlook from my laptop are not updating on my S8. When I uploaded my contacts to Outlook from an Excel spreadsheet, the contact names had a $ in front of the first name and the last name. Whenever I search a contact, I edit the contact and delete the $ in front of first and last name and of course I save the changes. However, none of these changes have ever updated to my phone. The biggest problem really comes when I'm using Bluetooth in my car and I ask it to call a particular name. If one of the names has the $ in front of it, the contact cannot be found and I am unable to make the call. This is a big problem in cities where I am required to be hands-free on my phone while driving.
