i just tried syncing my contacts and got a "too many deletions" msg, clicked one of the options and ended up with 4 copies of each contact.
Tried again by first deleting all the contacts on my phone and then syncing again, got the msg again, this time clicked "delete all" and it synced and then crashed.
Now i just get the msg everytime and it crashes.
I tried many different ways, deleting all contacts on web etc, same crap everytime ...."too many deletions" msg ......the number goes up everytime, now up to 1450 contacts to delete (i only have 250), then crash

Ever since I got my Magic, and because I didn't like the feature very much, I had the "sync contacts" option to off. I manually entered all the phone numbers & email I had, and was fine with it.
Then, today, I thought "oh, wth, i'll turn contact sync so that my gmail will also have my phone numbers and they'll be safe". little did I know.
For some inexplicable reasons, when synchronizing ended, my phone had downloaded all my google contacts BUT it had completely wiped out my existing phone contacts. At the "view" option in contacts, under the "phone" contacts it shows 0, and it does not recognise my call log or my sms list as sent by known numbers. Oh, and my phone contacts (neither the ones I had before sync, nor the couple I just entered after all this) do NOT show up in my google contacts AT ALL.
Is there any way at all to undo this? I want my phone contacts back!
Also, is this some sort of bug or error or does sync reallly wipe out all your phone contacts? if so, WHY THE HELL does it do that? I thought synch would be upload phone contacts to gmail, download gmail contacts to phone, keep all of htem in both places. isn't that the point?
In sort, why did this happen? I'm pretty sure it never asked me if I wanted to keep my phone contacts or anything...
It is strange that the contacts are removed from the phone.
My coincidence, yesterday just to check what was going to happen, I added a contact to my phone and I select the source as Google. Then I sync and went to the Gmail but no contact was present.
I closed google and open again the web page and now it appears. So it was a refresh/cache issue.
Only the contacts I've sync via HTC were set to Phone mode and I couldn't change them to Google so they were untouch on the phone and never went to google contacts.
contacts are wiped

I have the same problem on my Google Nexus 5 device. I connect to Internet through a VPN and while connecting save a contact, surprisingly the contact was not deleted. I think it might be a serious bug. And I totally agree with the process of saving contact that you mentioned in your comment. The correct saving should save contact on phone and after synchronizing, contacts on the phone shall be uploaded on google contact. There should be a good harmony. But the present relationship between phone and google is damaging the contacts which are not saved before on your google account.
Hi all.. Don't know if I've done something wrong (!).. but the contacts on my wife's Legend aren't syncing with Googlemail.... The phone is set up with the account, and the sync looks like it works on the phone, but when I log on to google there are no contacts..!! Help!
Her contacts are probably set as 'Phone Contacts' not as 'Google Contacts'. If you go into the People Application and look to the right of the contact name, it should say 'Google'.
Fix
Try and log out of facebook in settings/account and sync/facebook for HTC Sense, and then reboot and then log in again.
worked for me

I have the same problem. In fact i has have some "google" contact Sync with Google and other "phone" linked with but not sync.
Is there a way to change the phone contacts in google contacts without re-insert them?
I searched for a tool a while back to do just that but didn't find one. As I had only half a dozen 'phone contacts' in over 450 'google contacts', I ended up erasing and putting them back manually via google.com/contacts
Ended up backing them up to the SD card, factory reset the phone and then re-imported them back into google, instead of the phone. PITA.. but had to be done..
well im not having much luck with this new phone.lol. for some reason i cant get any contacts to appear... i can import them to the phone, they even sync with my google account and i can see them on my computer. but if i click on contacts on the phone theres nothing there. ive tried importing them as a csv, vcard and using sprite migrate.. they say theyve imported but nothing shows. wierd thing is my messages come up with the correct names just nothing in the contacts app.
well for anyone who gets a similar problem i finally fixed it by logging into my google account on a pc. moved the contacts into "my contacts" then wiped my phone back to standard, when i signed into my google account it then synced the contacts to my phone..
After a root and flash, I'm unable to resync my contacts on my phone. I've tried signing out of my google account and signing back in, hitting the sync manually, clearing the cache for the gmail app and even getting on gmail on the computer and exporting the contacts to a vCard and putting the vcard on the phone's SD. In this case, the phone just says no vCard found. I know the contacts are in Gmail because when i opened the vCard in notepad, it shows all the information. Can someone shed some light on this? I've done a search and tried everything suggested
Okay just solved this issue. Did it in a weird way too
For future reference, if anyone has this same issue, I went into gmail on my computer, exported contacts to vcard, then imported the vcard back into gmail.
Went on my phone and resynced the google account and the contacts showed up
I don't know why or how this worked but it did so I'm not complaining
Hello everyone,
Here is something weird to me. Got this ZTE Axon 7 mini just the other day. It was running Android 6, so I tried to sync all my 360 google contacts, and each time it only syncs up to 250 contacts. I removed the google account, tried again a few times but still the same issue. I have tried a different contacts application, bu it didn't help.
So I did the update to Android 7, and same issue, it would only sync up to 250 contacts. Please help.
Forgot to mention, the contacts are clearly labeled as belonging to that gmail address. Also, inside the phone I can create more contacts that would belong to the google account. Seems to be a sync issue. I also tried turning sync off and on a few times and there is no error showing for the contacts sync option.
Other things I tried: disabled the contacts stock application and used a different one, erased cache, used a contacts sync fix application, nothing helped so far.
This one blew my mind: Exported all my contacts to vfc, they got imported to my google email on my phone, the phone ended up deleting some of my 360 contacts until I was down to 277. There are no contacts saved to the phone memory or sim card.
The other thing I am considering to try is to use a hammer...
