Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone facing problems with google contacts syncing?
I tried to do syncing but nothing goes to and fro.. My Gmail contacts stay the same, so does my phones one. Anyone got a solution to this?
I had the same issue last time.
now the problem solved (by itself) as all my Android contact is sync to my Gmail.
I did two things, but I am not sure which one actually makes it work
First:
I sign in to HTC Sense (and I supposed my Android contact is sync to HTC).
Second:
I used myBackup (can be found on the Market).
Then, I flash a new android (so I re-signin to HTC on first Android boot and re-install myBackup). It turns up that I got duplicated contacts (one set from Gmail, one set restored to my phone).
So, I flash again (by deleting the old android folder and replace with a new one). This time, I just sign in to Google and it syncs perfectly ever after^^
Silly question.. but how to sign in HTC sense? i don't see any accounts for HTC sense under my account section.
Lemme try out the mybackup tool then. thanks a lot!
I had a problem with my google contacts showing 3 of evrey contact. You can go to google.com on your computer. Log in with the account you use on your phone. Then click ADD STUFF search for google contacts and add it then edit the contacts how you like them after that go to Accounts and Sync on your phone and delete the google account then click add new account. Add your account back and it will sync with the contacts you saved on the computer
finally got it working.
i realized that if you use any 3rd party contact import (sprite migrate, or mybackup) it seems to screw up the syncing.
So in the end all i used was Export to SD card then import back again after a fresh install.
Not working on Motorola Droid Global too
I hade to use motorola Messaging application (with "Universal Inbox"):
Messaging -> press: Menu -> Manage accounts -> click: [email protected] -> pick one from:
Sync Contacts
Sync Gmail
Sync Calendar.
On Contacts-> press: Menu -> Backup Assistant
I have waited for 3-4minuts with "Communicating with server. Please wait"
then finished with error:
"Network unavailable.
Please contact Verizon customer support for assistance *611"

how can i import contacts from google contact to my android phone?
Not sure what you mean... do you have a phone that doesn't say "with Google" on the back? If you have a standard G1, it should automatically sync your Google contacts to your phone Contacts/Dialer app.
but it doesn't sync nothing in automatic
Menu -> Settings -> Data Synchronization
it doesn't do nothing
uncheck your contacts and check the box again, you should then see the sync symbol
well i understand..it's brand tim and tim doesn't allow sync -.-
i'm very....................

Did you use another program to backup your contacts and restore them? My Backup Pro is known to break contact syncing if you use it to restore your contacts.
If you still have contacts in your GMail account and none on your phone, try a wipe. Once you've logged back into your account on your mobile and you have WiFi, enable that to speed up the synching. Should work fine.
You can on GMail export your contacts too however I've not tried it myself, most likely it would be a csv file.
Having a stupid issue with X10 deleting my contacts all the time.
Have them backed up with sony's app, but irretating to have to do it 2 times a day or so.
Dunno what's causing it. Turned off google sync too.
....Bump....
Happened to me the first time I tried to use a google or sony sync, I just turned sync off and use a manual backup to sim card.
I only want a safe store for my contacts 'in the air' as it were that would be obtainable with a login and sync.
If someone could clearly explain the sync services and settings ( keeping, overwriting, deleting, from server) it would be helpfull.
I would always want my phone to be the master sync device and the service to sync to it unless I specify a reverse way so sync, or a 'run through contacts' service that gives options to keep or change details in contacts.
It's a true sync and can be difficult to get setup. If you delete contacts on phone googles dissappear and vice versa. Once you've done it the sync with google is seamless.
For a fresh start the best bet is to delete your phone contacts..then setup all your contacts manually or import them and edit in gmail, then export to a file so you have a backup if something goes wrong.
After that you would sync to google contacts and all should be well.
It always sync perfectly for me after going through and setting it all up this way initially. If I edit a contact on phone it updates on gmail like it should...and vice versa.
In settings for sync I put "My Contacts" as the only sync option, then in gmail you would mark the ones you want on phone as "My Contacts" as well. That way you don't have every email contact on your phone if you don't want too. If you want it all just select "All Contacts"
In normal phonebook i have set it to just show phone contacts.
But when sending a new sms and i open the phonebook everything comes up... phone, sim, facebook, sense facebook.
How do i make it show phone contacts only?
anyone know a solution?
I wish I knew. I think it's this same problem that made my phone send all my Facebook contacts etc to my car head unit when I copied over the phone book via Bluetooth
had the same problem. took me days and lots of research to finally figure it out.
i wanted to just sync my existing contacts in people app to their facebook accounts but ended up syncing everything. now all my friends in my facebook account appeared on my phone as well. i followed everything on this forum on htcdesireforum.com website. topic: how do you get rid of facebook friends from your phone list.! (SOLVED)

This thread I presume ?
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-general-discussion/facebook-friends-in-message-list/
Here's the procedure they suggest :
1. Turn on wifi
2. Go to Settings >>> Accounts and Sync
3. Make sure Auto sync is ON.
4. Click on, 'Facebook for HTC Sense'
5. Uncheck the box where it says to sync contacts
6. Click, 'Remove account'
7. It will ask if you want to delete contacts ect. (Thats the point) Then remove
8. Create your account again.
9. This time after you have created your account make sure ONLY the 'Synce live feed' box is ticked. Sync contacts shouldnt be ticked.

I have the same problem as the people on the other thread (http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-how-to/all-facebook-contacts-when-ending-messages/).
i.e. I can remove "Facebook for HTC Sense" fine, and FB contacts are gone.
However when I recreate it, it starts syncing as soon as I go into that option, and it will only let me untick the Sync Contacts mode it once the first sync has already completed! Argh...

yes. that's the one. only facebook accounts for my existing phone contacts were synched.
My google contact is having sync issue , The cal, Gmail sync is working but the contact is not sync. I'm getting this error message Sync is currently experiencing problem. It will be back.
It was working fine when I first bought the phone. I did removed some apk but I don't think I remove the sync.apk since it working with other synchronize program. Are there any apk that is tie to the contact sync process or is there something else that I should try.
Running stock ROM
Rooted
In Settings, look for Sync & Accounts (the name varies from ROM to ROM). Press on your Google account, and then you will see the various sub-accounts that you can sync (or stop from syncing). Enable contacts.

@hung_mtuci and jggimi,
Yes I did all those step here is the screen shoot:
Since I'm noobi it won't allow me to post links yet.
Is there other alternate route to show the screen shot.
Is it possible that something got deleted, is so What associate file will work again, because I do have all the backup apk.
Hi everyone. New Droid X user here, as I just moved off my Incredible. Setting up the phone and setting up my Facebook and Twitter sync in the phone's settings. On my INC, I was able to tell Facebook to only sync contacts that currently exist on Google. My original Droid allowed me to do this as well.
With the Droid X, I see no such option to only sync existing contacts, so instead it puts ALL my Facebook contacts into my phone book. It's also doing the same for my Twitter contacts.
I tried to disable the Facebook sync from the phone (which removed the contacts) and add the sync through the Facebook app itself. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have that setting where it was on my INC. I only have options to turn off notifications and that's it.
Can anyone give me pointers here? I want my Facebook contacts sycn'd, but only the ones that already exist in my GMAIL.
I have a feeling this is something to do with Moto's customization. If there's no way to do this, I'll just root the phone and go with a ROM.
You have the Facebook app from the market, right?
As far as i can remember, when you run the app for the first time, you'll be asked to choose for one out of 3 choices after signing in (sync all, sync with existing contact, and don't sync at all). If that's what you want, then you should choose the 2nd option. I don't know if it's any help at all but i hope this works
At first I tried only with the phones version of the sync and it did not work. I've then downloaded facebook from the market and signed in. It did not give me any option to sync and when I go into the settings there are no sync options there either.
Edited: I decided to Root the phone, installed Liberty, and all is peachy.
