Whats wrong with contacts, 351, - Streak 5 General

I was out in the middle of nowhere today and had to turn off data, restarted the phone cause it was acting funny. Added a contact and got a list to add it to the phone or account. I chose gmail contact.
Now my contacts seem to be sluggish. I notice it in texting, openning a conversation, the images flash like its lagging to load the contacts images.
Ive restarted a few times and its not fixing it. I send a text in a already going conversation and the contact images flash as though its reloading them, including mine in the "ME" contact

I get a text and the contact images flash, even mine
Something i just remember also. At one point today it seemed the contacts where lost and it only displayed phone numbers, including mine

Ok its not just me then! However, i had not noticed this happening before this out in the middle of nowhere issue today.

I did have a bit of issues getting my contacts to load from similar, after I first updated. I decide to clear all data from the contacts apparently, then just install all the contacts from googlemail. Now it all works fine.

How do you clear all data from contacts? I was thinking remove the account reboot and add the account again.

OK scratch that. I can't remove the account. It wont let me

I just went into phone settings then applications, then running apps then click on contacts and click clear data.

Screw it. I'm gonna reset tonight and redo the whole thing. Clearing that and resyncing did nothing. I just had a moment where I had no contact names listed in texting, just phone numbers. Just before I tried that clearing.

Will you let us know if a reset solves this? I am having the same issue.
Thanks

I reset 351 and just signed into google account, synced and still had the issue. Im back on 318 and looking for a way to disable the update notifacations for 351.

How big is your dialer storage under manage applications? If its over a couple mb's you need to go through your texts and delete the mms/pictures people have sent you. Mine got up to 20mb's at one point, phone was laggy as hell. If you don't care to retain Txt's you could just clear the dialer storage......

same prob here. this "improved" suxx0r big time!

Tried 354 and same problem. I don't understand why there aren't more complaints about this. Or maybe we are doing something wrong?

are you restoring your apps and whatever after update from titanium backup? I noticed the issue after updating from titanium backup, before i ran this just after i'd updated the contacts where working fine. But obviously I needed to update all my apps, after i'd ran the titanium restore it all went wrong. Maybe try restoring you contacts through titanium again see if that sorts it out?

I do not restore anything. I use appmonster pro to reinstall all of my apk's and sync to google for my contacts. The only thing i import is bookmarks for browser. I do all of the same stuff with 318 on 2 sets and they dont have the problems

streakmod 1.9 is very stable and is pretty quick with the perfmod on, maybe try that?

Oh really I think titanium backup is the best thing I've ever purchased on the market, would have been gutted if I'd lost all my angry birds high scores!

I face the same problem.
I think this started form the 2.2.2 version.

Lost all facebook contacts

So something happened today after a power cycle, i lost all my facebook contacts under my contact page. In the end its not that big of a deal becuase i believe i backed them all up to google... I did however enjoy the ability to use the updates tab under everyones name before calling them so i was up to date. I also liked having the up to date pics of them via facebook. So i double checked and made sure facebook was still syncing everything under the contacts, and it was. However everyones facebooks contact is just outright gone now. Not just missing pictures or not displaying updates... gone.
I cant seem to find a way to reenable this. Any ideas?

I was showing my cousin (iphone user) how cool that was but it was missing.

This happened to me also. Resynchronizing them doesn't seem to do anything. It sucks. I thought that I could go into Groups under contacts and add them all again, but there isn't any option to add contacts to the preexisting groups. That's actually the only part of TouchWiz that's really pissed me off so far. It would be great if someone could figure out how to fix this.
Do you think the update to Facebook caused this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
See at first i thought it might have had something to do with the facebook update. but i had not updated my facebook at the time. I hage since then thinkinkijg it would fix the problem, but it has not helped at all.
Contacts are still MIA for me at this point. Anyone got ideas?

Lost all Facebook contacts? That sounds more like a feature than a bug

gmail won't sync

as the title says, i can receive but i can't send, and the receiving is intermittent. when i delete an email, it doesn't show deleted on the gmail app (where it shows the unread count in the header of the app, not talking about the notification bar here)...
if i delete an app or read it on my phone, it still shows unread and in the inbox of my gmail online. it's been happening since yesterday. i've done a factory reset, i've loaded recovery, at first i thought it was due to an app update (happened right before the issue started), but even after a recovery without that app updated, and deleting all apps showing update available, still happening.
i wonder if this is related with the VZW 3G issues others have been having?
Did you recently update anything? I had a similar issue but after a day or two gmail finally syncd back up. It happened when I flashed to the leaked ota and again when I went to 2.2 otherwise I suggest updating the gmail apk.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just rooted, no roms or kernels yet. Only update coulda been an app of some kind. But Idk if that's it based on it kept happening even after rolling back to a backup I made a few days before these updates. Maybe a gmail provisioning issue? All other data seems to work, although sometimes slower than normal.

Clear Data
Hi,
This happens to me all the time when I am jumping between roms and using nandroid alot. Try going into Manage Applications, find the Gmail app and then delete the Data and Clear Cache. Ignore the warning about losing stuff since everything is synced. Then go back and open gmail and give it a few minutes to sync back up and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps.
Ooz
Absolutely fixed it. Thanks so much!

Stock Gmail not pushing emails.....

I am having an issue with my stock Gmail app not pushing my new emails. It just started NOT happening all of a sudden. Any suggestions? Still on stock rom 2.1
Thanks
Are you using any task killers?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i am having the exact same issue, it started today. the only way i can get my emails pushed to my phone is if i go to the gmail app and then do a refresh. i have to do this everytime i want to read my gmail on my phone. and i do not run any task killers. i am running bionix fusion. i have rebooted my phone, battery and sim pulls and nothing is fixing it.
ditto
I'm having the same problem.
Running:
-Bionix Fusion 1.1
-Project Core v1
I flashed the JI2 modem yesterday again to see if it would help improve my battery life. I'm not sure if that's the reason I'm not getting gmail pushed to my phone though.

Same here. NO task killers and have to refresh to get my emails. Only difference is I am on stock.
Had the same problem. Go to menu>applications>manage. Once there, press menu and change the filter to show all apps. Its set to 3rd Party by default. Then, find gmail, and gmail storage and clear the data and cache for both.
Open gmail and it should fix it.

Sorry, but it didn't work for me either. Bad thing is that there are no other good email apps for gmail. Maildroid is what I am currently using just so I can get notifications. One thing I forgot to mention was that it was working fine today before I downloaded Gmail notifier from the market. Deleted it, but it hasn't worked since.

Actually this fixed the issue for me - or so it seems so far.
I am having the same issue, and I also downloaded Gmail notifier from the market. I tried deleting the data and the cache as well, and so far no change.
I have stock JI6, never installed gmail notifier and it stopped working last night. Will try the cache method and report back.
Funny thing is that I have two gmail accounts. The one that's NOT tied to my phone user information works just fine and is getting the immediate push emails.
Same here no new emails are shown in the phone Gmail since last night
is Every other phone having the same problem now?

In this case, i would check settings on gmail server and in accounts & sync. Maybe try resetting the values just to deflag and reflag it.

Emails are pushing again automatically for me after deleting cache and temporary data.
Clear the cache/data and make sure sync is still on. Odd so many had the same issue at the same time though.
Still not working

still not working for me. i cleared the cache and made sure i have sync turned on. i have unchecked sync and rechecked it and still nothing.
I am having the same issue. Right after clearing the data and cache, I got notified of new mail, then it stopped working again.

[Q] How do I restore my contacts and apps?

Hey, guys. I just installed the DK28 Froyo Stock ROM. I was using Lookout Mobile Security to backup all of my contacts and pictures.
However, all of my contacts aren't syncing from Lookout. Is there an easier way to get back all of my contacts from Lookout?
Also, my account only shows the apps from the Marketplace that I had purchased, but not downloaded. Is there anyway to download everything I had before? Thanks.
Don't know about Lookout; I always sync contacts through gmail.
Don't know about pictures; all of mine are on my SDCard.
Your free apps do not show up in the marketplace...until now. Now that you're running 2.2.1, anything you DL will re-dl every time you replace ROMs or wipe your phone. (this may be due to updated marketplace and not 2.2, but I'm not sure)
Lookout is garbage. I use appbrain to save my app and google to save my contacts. Have you tried logging into your google on your phone to recover your contacts?

It's due to both.
It's Lookout Mobile Security. It's a great piece of software. However, I think it's stuck on restoring my photos.

No, Google didn't sync all of my contacts. Just some. Is there a detailed way to show how to sync my phone contacts with Google? It wants to sync like every e-mail address I've ever e-mailed with my phone.

Facebook contact sync in DL30 leak?

No matter how many times I add my facebook to my fascinate on DL30, the contacts never load, nor do photos sync with contacts. Anyone have any luck?

Working 100% here. Factory/data reset before flashing and wiped dalvik cache before flashing, I assume?
Have more than 500 friends?
Some sync programs have a hard time with >500. Maybe sns does? Hmm.
Wipe data, dalvik, and try again mb?

I can attests to facebook not liking high latency, I travel and I am living in a 1x area and my SNS wont sync, but when I get in a 3g area it will.
Also try
Contacts > Menu > More > Display Options > Facebook account > check All Contacts
I used to have and HTC and it displays them automatically, with Samsung you have to tell it to, for the longest time I was wondering where my FB contacts were until I found that menu option
SNS has been less than reliable the few times I have actually used it, even on Eclair.

Also, I wouldn't be sweating this for like 24 hours.
I've had both sns and facebook for htc sense take at least over night to do its thing.
The watched pot never boils.
Calls and texts interrupt the sync if it's not on wifi anyway.
They don't follow the rules of every other network activity using the standard TCP stack. If it gets interrupted, it just quits

Having this problem too. It works on some Roms, not on others. There's not a twitter at all either. On Clean .6 dl30, btw.
Same problem for me. The Calender syncs, but not Contacts.
I've been having the same issue with Myspace and Twitter syncing using the SNS sync. I don't think it's directly related to the DL30 leak since I flashed back to DL09 a few times to make sure it wasn't related to Froyo. I think it just hates certain people for a few days at a time.
I only have FB photos sync'd, but it appears to be workin fine for me.
This was my first time rooting/rom and it has not bugs/issues yet.
I did follow the directions in the 'how to' thread exactly and started from a stock DL09.
Okay I did a full factory data reset (settings, privacy, factory data reset ) and now it works fine for facebook contacts, but now my long press search button does not bring up voice search.

Issue with contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.
Install the official facebook app. Froyo supports push notifications which are handled by the app now.
