So this morning, everything was fine, all contacts were there.
I charged my phone and an hour later, picked it up, a few contacts were missing (like my dad and home and such).
Synced it and still nothing?
I went into my gmail and all the contacts are still there, but not showing up on my phone
I've had that problem... Go to accounts and async and make sure google is there. My google account had erased itself, just ran htc setup and re entered google info

Had the same problem - rebooted phone - contacts came back.
Google was still in Account & Sync
I had to manually add it for now =\
I thought something similar had happened to me, but what had happened is another account synced with that contact and arranged it "last name,first name" and so it was in a completely different spot than usual.

They were syncing fine before I did a factory reset, now they just say 'sync is temporarily down, it will be back up shortly'.
I've rebooted, tried deleting and recreating the accounts, neither worked.
Any ideas why this is happening after a factory reset?

Honestly it just takes some time. A lot of people had this error, including me. If you wait a day or two it usually just fixes itself. That is what happened with me. And even now sometimes when Facebook syncs, it gives me that error, but usually tries again in a couple of hours and decides to work.
Once it can connect to the server though, you may find that it doesn't grab your contacts. If this happens, go to the main contacts page and hit Menu>Get Friends. You should be able to select the account and manually add people. If the account is listed but grayed out, it means that it hasn't yet been able to even connect to the server.
Well, its been more than 24 hrs, but I'll wait another day or two. :-\

I don't have twitter, but I have the same issue with fb. Has not sync'd since friday.

Mine started syncing again, but I did have to use the 'get friends' to pull my contacts into my address book.

I had this issue on the first day. It initially got my Facebook friends then seemed to lose them somewhere and wouldn't get them again. I actually deleted my Facebook profile and put the info in again and it worked. Redoing the facebook settings takes all of 30 seconds so it seems to be the quickest fix.
Try this fix I got somewhere else. It worked for me after a few tries.
1. Remove your Facebook account on your phone.
2. Go to the Facebook webpage and go to your Application Settings.
3. Remove "Samsung Mobile."
4. Wait a few minutes and add your Facebook account again.
Something else I tried, which may or may not have helped was turning on the auto sync when adding the Facebook account.
Lately i've noticed my gmail won't sync. It says i have a new email but wont show it, and it wont load the rest of my read emails. It says no connection even though ive got 3g. And when i tried to add a new gmail account it wouldn't let me. I've been having lots of speed problems and now this so verizon is sending me a replacement. But i wanted to know if its just my phone or anyone else.
I had the same issue with new emails not showing couple of times a few weeks ago. Not sure what it was, but I went around it by searching for "is:unread". That brought it up.
Do you have a second email account fowarded to your gmail account, example I have a yahoo account and messages show up in main gmail inbox and in a specific "label" as gmail calls them for that account.

No I don't. I think I just have a defective phone. All the verizon reps at my store say I do, and so does tech support. They said my data wasn't being used to it's full or something. I've got a new one coming but I don't know how long it will take. The email thing's kinda bothering me. I'll try the is:unread thing. Thanks guys.
I had the same problem. Also wouldn't connect to my pc. I used another droid to make a copy of my sd card. Formatted the card. Reloaded all my stuff and put it back in my DX. Sync works fine and connects to pc everytime.
i am having the same issue and have followed what you have suggested doing with no change
A most peculiar thing has happened regarding my Contacts. At 7:54 a.m. on 12/9/2010, last Thursday morning, my Epic does not want to sync with my GMail contacts properly. When I change or add contacts on GMail from my computer, sometimes new or edited Contacts show up on my Epic, sometimes they do not. Regardless, on my Epic the sync screen indicates that 12/9/2010 at 7:54 a.m. was the last sync, it does not update. My calendar and GMail sync fine, but Contacts does not want to leave last Thursday morning! Has anyone else had this odd occurrence, and any suggestions on what to do? I wanted to insert a screen shot of my Epic to show you precisely what I am seeing, however this forum will not allow me to insert an image apparently because I have not been posting, only reading and learning.
Thanks.
try turning off auto sync,then remove the google account,then re-add the google account,you might need to reboot to clear the cache first

Thanks, but...
If I try to delete the GMail account I get a dialogue box that states "this account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy." What now?
It will not reset your phone,only break the market until you reboot and readd account.

Hi everybody howcome when I go in calendar and try to add a event it says you have no calendar? Can somebody help me. I download a calendar app from market gave me same message.

Did you create one from Google Calendar? Log onto your gmail account and create a calendar then sync it to your phone.
Lol sounds confusing. What about contacts I saved 2 but its not on my contacts howcome?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It happened to me when I first got my Nexus S. Even though I linked gmail and the calendar wouldn't allow me to add an event until a few days after using the phone while synced to Google account.
Sync Google account and do a soft reboot and if it doesn't work right away, let it run for a couple days. Give that a try. Good luck.

You can manually sync from the sync menu.

I bought my wife the new Nexus S 4g today. The guy at the sprint store helper her set up the phone even thought I did not want him too. Oh well it is his job. Thing is she had never setup Google Calendar because she had a BlackBerry before that. So when I got home I setup her Google calendar but it is not syncing to her new phone. When I go to Setting > Accounts & Sync > her google account there is not a Calendar option. What do I need to do I don't want to have to reset her phone. Are there any other options? Thanks.
Odd. Calendar should be one of the defaults syncs. Have you tried running the calendar app and see if the gmail account shows up there?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I had tried running the calendar app but nothing shows up I even enter an event online thinking may bring it down but nothing. If you try to add an event on the phone it just says "You have no calendars". It is almost like the phone did not sync all the way to her account. I really don't want to reset her phone to factory default and have her set everything up again. She would not want to do that. She has already change the wallpaper all the screens downloaded apps, and changed ring tones.
I meant open the calendar app, press the menu button, press More then on Calendars and make sure the gmail account is listed there.
Also, this might be a stupid question but you're connected with Wifi or mobile network (3G, 2G, etc) right? Your phone signal bars should appear green if you're connected to Google's servers. If it's not green, you won't be able to sync.
I go to Calendar app > More > Calendars and there is nothing there, just have an Ok and cancel button. I have been on 3g, 4g, and wifi and nothing on any of them. Yes the the bars a green at the top.
I doubt you need to reset to factory so not to worry about that. Maybe you just have to wait a day or two. Either that or bring it back to the store and have them figure it out.
Might do that thanks. Hopefully it will work itself out.
You can also try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
already tried that

maybe you should try and get the stock calendar.apk and re-install it...???
Ok I talked to Sprint and they said that is easiest way was to make sure that the phone was backed up to Google and just do a Factory Wipe. Basically wipe the phone and start over. So I did and that fixed the problem. So anyone who gets a new google phone and does not have all the google apps setup do that before you get the phone activated. I hope someone finds a better way because that is a major oversight on googles part. But everything is working great now.
Ok, so I got a new Nexus 4 and started it.
It asked me for my gmail account which I entered. However after the initial setup was completed I was shocked to find my phonebook contacts exactly the same as my old phone on my Nexus 4.
Does anyone know how did Google get hold of my phone contacts ?
Few things:
- The contacts I see on the phone are not gmail contacts. I have 400+ gmail contacts. The contacts I automatically got on the phone were the exact contacts in my previous Android phone (HTC HD2 rooted with ICS CM Nexus ROM)
- In my old phone I never synched contacts. I always had mail checked in sync settings. Calendar, contacts etc were not checked.
- I also own a Nexus 7 tab and that does not have any setting to store contacts.
- When I ordered the phone I selected the option to not link it to any google account.
Any idea ?
Well, phone contacts have been synced to your Google account for a long time now. You must have synced them at least once on your old phone.
Must have synced to your account before you turned off contacts sync.
It's possible that they're saved on your SIM Card.

While that is certainly a possibility but I am skeptical of that because
- As a practice I never sync anything except EMAIL on my gmail, hotmail, yahoo accounts. everything else is unchecked.
- My phone contacts are not synced with hotmail or yahoo but appear to be only on gmail even though I had the same settings across all accounts.
- There are contacts I have on my gmail which I didnt have on my previous phone. These are not present on the new Nexus 4.
you probably synced it on ur old phone when u flashed ics, since default is to sync when you got ur contacts back on ur old phone it probably didnt automatically
google didnt "steal" your info or anything unless you think of what they do with info as stealing
contact sync is actually awesome and really helpful, i wouldnt see this as a bad thing if i were u but everyone has their own opinions
thanks for the replies so far.
While I agree it is a good feature to have, but I use a third party app to achieve this or do export to SD and then import from SD to back up contacts.

Just use Google contacts, and unless you're some kind of super spy or something and foreign governments are hacking your contacts because everyone you know is so important.

When you initially setup an android phone it asks you if you want to backup and sync your data with Google's servers and you've must have done this before in the past. I also think contact sync is set to on by default its in settings>accounts>google>[email protected] I actually like the feature as all my apps and contacts are automatically downloaded to a new phone right at the start.
