i'm currently using apex 1.4.1 for some odd reason, my google contacts isn't in my phone. I have Gmail setup. I receive emails, just not my contacts. When I sync my contacts to Facebook, their pictures doesen't show. and another thing. I can have the person name in my phone but when I try to make a new message and start typing the name, it doesn't appear. anybody else having these problems?
There may have been an error when you flashed the rom. Try redownloading and reflashing. If it still doesn't work, try using mybackup pro to restore your contacts

Has anyone else had problems lately synching their contacts? I wiped my phone the other day to load JFv1.41 and I backed up my contacts using MyBackup (from the Market.)
When I re-synched with google I got my contacts back but I noticed that none of them had images. I restored using MyBackup (it said it would overwrite any existing data.)
That was 3 days ago. After it synched the first time I had duplicate contacts on my phone so I removed the dupes. When I went to sync again it said syncing was having problems and I should try again. That was on the 25th and it hasn't synced since. I remember it saying there were too may deletions made (77 I think.)
Just now, I logged into gmail on the web and I had 8 contacts! (I have 107 on my phone.)
Not sure where to go next with this. Should I re-back up my contacts, re-associate my phone with my google account (with an empty contact list) restore the backup and re-sync?
sorry no issue here, mine sync up fine after the new JFv1.41
It was definitely due to the MyBackup program. Apparently they say to not use google sync and restore from their program (so what's the point?)
I removed all contacts on the phone, all contacts in gmail.com then restored from their backup. My contacts wound up in gmail but I still get the error in data synchronization!
I'll have to make some changes and try to force it again.
So, basically, dont use MyBackup to backup your contacts.

I'll probably have to wipe the phone and re-sign up with google to really fix it. Uhg.

correction dont restore your contacts, backing up is fine, especially if you want to switch gmail accounts
One should only use MyBackup to backup contacts if one isn't using a Google account. Otherwise, just use the built-in contact sync.
If you made the mistake, as I once did, of trying to use both then you just need to clear the contacts out of your G1 by dumping the data (http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f12/delete-limit-exceeded-10275/) -- not deleting them, as those deletes may then sync to your Gmail and delete the contacts there. Then you can just re-sync.
If they've gotten cleared out of Gmail then you're hosed.
ok i read alot of the threads on here about syncing problems with gmail. but this is a bit different. i just did a complete fresh wipe/install of cyanogen's newest rom (i didnt think to backup all my contacts ) and i went to sync my contacts back to my phone and i realized that every one of my contacts are gone from my gmail account. every single one. does anybody know how to get them back or how to prevent this in the future? please help meee i need my contacts :/
I have just got a new hd2 through my insurance and synched with google to get my contacts back. However I also need to synch with my work exchange to get my appointments. Rather than have 2 synchs - I just used google to save my contacts - I removed the google synch. however this means my contacts dissapear.
Is there any way to keep my contacts on the handset without maintaining the sych?
Cheers

oops if a mod can change the title to have "synching issues with contacts" that would be delightful.

first, i am assuming you are using windows mobile.
second, what i understand is that you want to sync only with your work place server and you somehow need to have your contacts as well.
one option could be to merge your contacts with your work place server.
also, try this...sync with google to get your contacts downloaded back to your device. then use "pimbackup" to back up your contacts to a file on your sd card. then remove the google synch. now, set up your work place synch. finally, restore the pimbackup of contacts you made earlier.
i'm not sure how your work place server would behave now that your device will suddenly have all of these contacts restored from your backup. the partnership MIGHT cause your contacts to merge into your work place server automatically, which could be a good thing because then you would have everything on one server to sync with.
cheers I will try pimbackup.
I want to keep my personal / works stuff (contacts) separate, however I want my appointments on my work calender. I refuse to use my minutes for work lol.
so I only synch contacts on google and calender on exchange.
@ASCIIker
synch google, pim backup, remove synch, pimrestore worked.
Cheers
that pimbackup is a GEM of an app!
highly recommended for those that want to stick with windows mobile. i used to have it automatically back up (to my sd card) all my contacts, call logs, and sms messages every 3 days. i had set the process to take place at midnight every 3 days and the whole operation (300 call logs, 300+ contacts, and 7000+ sms messages) would take a meager 1.5 minutes on the HD2!!! restoring was just as fast, except for sms messages (because sms message restore triggers "re-threading" of conversation threads).
on android, setting up the device with a google account handles contacts. an app called "sms backup and restore" handles sms backups (have it set to 3 days here as well). but have found NO app on android that neatly backs up and restores call logs, let alone all THREE items (call logs, contacts, and sms messages)!
cheers from pakistan!
I have updated my phone to ICS and i used sprite backup to restore the contacts which works fine. After restart all but 2 contacts disappear but the texts and all the calls made are still there. If i use sprite to restore contacts they are there again. But after restart they disappear, i have tried 2 different ICS roms and have the same issue.
Turn off contact sync with your gmail account (and check your contacts on it with your browser on PC...maybe there is something messed up) and try again...should solve your issue.
i skipped setup of google when i installed the rom, i personally do not use my google account on my android phones
I have the same problem. I think it is from the rom. Ifter i sync everything is back to normal. Maybe the problem is when if it can`t get connection and can`t sync normaly its clearing the contacts and the call history.
I have been having Sync Issues with backing up my Contacts with Google. The sync fails. I am pretty sure this has to do with the fact that I Join many contacts together within my contacts. Google works until I join many of the contacts. It shows "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" When I try to do a Sync in "Settings/Accounts/Google/Click on my Account, and then Contacts from the list.
Do you have a recommended App that I can use to backup my Contacts with??
Thank you
