Follow and you will get it every time OK.

Below are full instructions including install. After it is all set up, all you need to do is connect phone, start client on phone, start SW on PC, click connect and then click sync.

Good luck.

KIES would not show phone numbers, but all else worked. Samsung tried for 1/2 hour before telling me that their software has an issue and they are trying to fix it, go figure.
I came across this program, MyPhoneExplore, and couldn't get it to work, recognize my phone, Galaxy SII.
I then read your your steps and it worked like a charm!

Total Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you hook your phone up via USB when you can use MyPhoneExplorer and sync WiFi.

Download and install the latest version of MyPhoneExplorer on your PC (no reboot)
FJ Software Development

Install the MyPhoneExplorer client on your phone

Make sure your phone is on your WiFi network (same one as your computer is connected to <PC can be wired or WiFi>)

Start the MyPhoneExplorer client on your phone, you will see "WiFi connected to "name of your WiFi network" (WiFi IP address of your phone)

Start the MyPhoneExplorer software on your computer, press F1 to connect to your phone.

*Ripped from OP post except for items in bold
Click FILE then SETTINGS
- CONNECTION ---> Select Phone with Google Android-OS
- CONNECTION ---> Connect via...WiFi
- SYNC ---> Contacts: Outlook 20XX
- Click Advanced... and in Sync Mode select Sync Both if you want to sync both ways
- SYNC ---> Calendar: Outlook 20XX
- Click Advanced... and in Sync Mode select Sync Both if you want to sync both ways
- SYNC ---> Notes: Outlook 20XX
- Click Advanced... and in Sync Mode select Sync Both if you want to sync both ways

**In File, Settings, Multi-Sync you can select to have multiple things synched with a keyboard shortcut. (I clicked Phonebook, Organizer and Notes)

**In File, Settings, Advanced 1: Select the keyboard shortcut you want to use to start Multi-Sync (I use ALT + W)

When you do this and press ALT+W MyPhoneExplorer will sync everything you have selected in one shot so you don't have to go to each section and sync manually.

Thanks to the OP for the initial writeup, I was thinking about posting one!
