I'm sorry if there was any mention of this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it.
But what happened this afternoon was kinda troubling. I've just bought my HTC Hero, two days ago. I've synced it with outlook with 700 something contacts. And all was fine. There was some trouble with syncing, but all contacts were transferred to phone memory.
When out of a blue, this afternoon, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all contacts simply vanished. Calendar was still intact, txts as well, all fine but the contacts.
When I came home, I tried to sync it again but it just synced two calendar notes. It synced as if all contacts were on the phone, but they were not. So I've managed to restore them by over-riding phone with PC.
Can anyone explain this? How do I know this won't happen again?
I'm using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 as well as the latest edition of HTC Sync.
(maybe relevant, maybe not, I've managed to hopefully resolve the before mentioned troublesome connection when syncing by manually installing drivers for Windows 7)
Thank you. I hope I was clear.
Probaby an obvious one but if you go into Contacts=>Menu=>View have you accidentally unchecked the set contacts you want to show ?
I'm having the same problem, but running Windows XP w/ Outlook 2007 instead.
First time was using stock ROM. One day all my contacts disappeared (phone and google contacts). The phone contacts I retrieved by forcing HTC Sync to overwrite my phone's data with my PC's. The google contacts I retrieved by doing a factory reset and setting up my google account again.
Then I installed MCR 2.6, and again my contacts disappeared, but this time only the phone contacts (the google contacts remained).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The same problem, twice.
Both time I had this problem when I sent a message.
I think this should be a problem of the ROM-version, and I hope the next ROM will fix it.
I've been trying to figure this out forever.
Every once in a while my phone contacts will vanish, but the Google contacts always remain.
I've tried turning off synchronization for Google contacts and it seems that my phone contacts have stopped vanishing for now. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Simply migrate you contacts to google. Its very easy. Quite why anyone struggles with Outlook on Android is a mystery. I was Outlook mad pre the Hero, now everything is migrated to googlemail/google calendar/google contacts.
No USB connecting nonsense for updates, all over the air, 2 way sync. Much better than outlook ever was.
I tried syncing my phone contacts with my gmail account but I get a 'sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly'.
Anybody know what the problem is. Calendar and Docs synced fine. It's just contacts it has problem with.
Can anybody help me with this issue?
I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I am having some sync issues with Google Calendar and the native Epic 4g calendar app. I have searched yahoo, google, and the forums here and no one is having an issue exactly like mine and I've tried the fixes recomended for ones that are somewhat similar to my issue. I am on a rooted system. I am running EI22 that has been rooted and deodexed with the modifications listed in the following link.

In google calendar on the pc all of my calendars are selected to be shown and synced. Everything is showing up fine on the computer version. My issue on the phone is that one of the calendars is not even being recognized by the calendar app. The calendars that did show up synced fine and everything showed up. I went in to manage apps and cleared the data from the calendar app and re synced the data. After that the same calendars showed up in the sync list and all of them were selected but one of the calendars didn't show its items on the calendar. I hate to bother you all with this issue but I just flat out couldn't figure it out myself. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
Is anyone else having issues with their Google accounts not syncing contacts?
I get this error when i go into account settings and look at my sync settings that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This error is only stopping my contacts from syncing and everything else syncs without a hitch. My contact app says it was last synced on 3/19 which is a problem because i cannot afford to lose my contacts.
Anyone know of a fix or if anyone else is even reporting this problem because i have searched and found nothing.
Uncheck "Sync Picasa Web Albums" and see if that works

Hi

today i upgrade it and unfortunately it has this problem yet.
Is anyone else having sync issues?
When syncing Google Contacts it will say "Sync Not available at this time"
I am getting gmail emails late. Sometimes 10 minutes and other times a few hours.
The built in Facebook app also will not sync with my phone. It won't even give me the option to turn the sync on. I am not getting any notifications for Facebook either.
I just came back to Android from an iPhone and all of this crap is making me think twice.
I don't use Facebook but my phone doesn't seem to be having issues syncing to my Google account. Contacts etc. Are all OK.
If you are at a loss you could always try to factory reset? Bit of a pain though setting everything up again.
Once you get the teething issues sorted I'm sure you won't regret the move from Apple
Google Contact Sync Issues
Did you ever get a reply about your sync issues? I cannot get my Google contacts (People?) to sync over to my Galaxy S7 and I'm about to kill someone...
