I had held off on asking this question until I had tested some things on my N2E. I regularly use the gmail app on the N2E and was wondering why I don't see my contacts when composing mail (same for Google Voice). What am I missing here? Or is this simply the rooted-N2E working as designed?
Any hints/info?

Hello,
I'm sick of searching for hours and finding a solution. Let's discuss it here, as I think i'm not the only one Google Contacts user with an HD2.
- I setup exchange with my google account. WORKS
- Sync of main calendar, mail, contacts. WORKS
After sync, my contacts are "Lastname, Firstname". I tried "Contact_changer_v1.3.cab", it fixes it to "Firstname, Lastname". BUT, after phone syncs with google again it changes all contacts back to "Lastname, Firstname".
SOLUTION?
That's strage. I've got the same problem but than the opposite. After Sync with Google my contacts are 'firstname', 'lastname'.
What do you use to sync with Google? I use Nuevasync...
He's using the phone's built-in Exchange feature (ActiveSync) to sync directly with Google, not through some 3rd party solution.
I have the same problem (also using ActiveSync). Well, it's not a problem anymore since I gave up trying to correct it a while ago and just settled for the 'lastname, firstname' situation. I think Google's working on a fix (read it on one of their help communities somewhere) but who knows how long that'll take.
One solution would be if you guys switched: Rubenski, try using ActiveSync; Sallcho, try NuevaSync!
I have this problem too.
What i've found is that all contacts with photos or notes get reverted back after syncing.
So what i've done is to remove all notes/photos.
Anyone know if google is working on this at all?
I'd like to know about other people's experiences with CM6 and Exchange. With the stock email app, I have noticed at times that at times it would start using a lot of cpu, and stop receiving emails. I did have "all email" sync, but these issues would happen randomly after all of my mailbox was downloaded; could this have anything to do with it? I would have to reboot my phone for email to start working again. After reading about people's experience in the CM6 thread I thought it might be appropriate to have an altogether separate thread. I did notice some users having similar issues, and that TouchDown is a good alternative.
So about 2 weeks ago, I started trying it. Problem is, when I go to add a contact (discovered this by long pressing a number to create a contact), it will let me create a "TouchDown contact", but only with names. I contacted touchdown support and they said that no other applications can have access to TouchDown data for "security". I did put in a feature request for an optional contacts integration, because my Aria is a work phone, and every contact I add I *need* synced. I did think about adding contacts to Google account, and then installing Google/Outlook sync on my work pc, but this seems too convoluted.
Has CM6 exchange improved in any of the nightly builds? If I choose to go back to the stock email app, is there any way that if I run into these issues again I can provide debugging information? The only thing I really liked about TouchDown was the search email feature, but this is in no way a feature request for the stock email app. xD
Why not ask in the cm6 thread instead of starting a new one?
I've been using stock exchange mail client since the beginning of CM6 on aria, haven't ran into any major issues with it. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes the deleted email on aria still show up on desktop outlook.

Just wanted to add that stock client does stop getting emails ( very rarely for me), instead of rebooting, I just forse close the app and restart it again.

For adding/syncing contacts (using touchdown for email) I added the exchange account (under stock email settings) and set it to never check mail, but still sync contacts and calendar. I am going to see if this combination with touchdown works, as the email app is required to run if syncing exchange contacts is to work at all. I hope don't run into the process hanging without email actually syncing. I'm still waiting this trial out to see if touchdown is worth it; they did add a new feature that shows the number of new emails in the notification icon (I don't recall if this is in the stock email app).
Has anyone experienced problems using Google Voice Actions (long press the search key) on their Evo over the past 12 hours?
Mine all of a sudden will not pull contact info from Google anymore. My contacts are 100% synced with my Google GMail contacts as I know this is a prerequisite but if I say "Send Text to, Chuck, hey there" instead of putting Chucks name and phone number in the TO box the text is in the body of the message:
Message: Chuck hey there.
Another user over at Google mobile forums has reported the same issue starting last night.
Just wondering how wide spread this is?
Thanks!
Todd
Mine is doing the same exact thing. Mine was working fine and now it's not working. I've posted this same question last night and a few people said it was still working for them. I checked my co-workers evo and his still works. I'm not sure what the problem is. I've tried everything! I flashed a few different roms and even went back to sprint stock and nothing is working. I even created a new gmail account and added a few contacts thinking there was something wrong with my original account and that didn't fix the problem either. Sorry to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one. It means that it's not my phone and something on google's end. I wonder how many other people this is affecting. Let me know if you find a solution.
Do both of you have your contacts in phone or synced from Google or an Exchange account?
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
No contacts on the phone. All are synced with Google. Syncing works fine. Changes happen on both sides. I also sync with an Exchange server for work contacts.
The contacts I use with Voice Actions are only Google (personal) contacts.
Me too. All my contacts are synched with Google. I mean i had it working the other day, but for some reason it just stopped recognizing everyone on my phone book. The weird part is that if I change the voice language to English (UK) instead of (US) I can voice dial but can't "send text to" or "send email to". I posted this in the Google forum and an employee said he was looking into it so I don't know if its a known problem or not. It doesn't seem to be affecting a lot of users of I'd see more traffic to this thread and more complaints. Right now I'm trying out Vlingo. I kind of like it better than Google voice actions.
All working again for me. Google says it was a server issue.
Hi,
I have a HD2 running gauner's Desire HD ROM (magldr), and I want to try and windows 7 ROM but i cannot find any way to transfer my texts and contacts over.
Anyone find any ways to do this ?
Cheers
If they are Google contacts then that's easy and happens automatically when you sign into your Google account.
I am however in the same boat of trying to migrate my call history and text messages.

Hey, yeah i've got the contacts via google which is working great, now just for the messages, not so bothered about call history.
Just one other thing, i've synced with facebook, but I want to remove all my facebook-only contact from the people contact book, any way to do this?
Cheers

I ran into this same thing and I don't think you can avoid it other than NOT signing in to Facebook in the contacts section. there is a Facebook app in the Market if all you want is to be able to check Facebook on your phone.

In the settings, there is the people application settings menu. It will sync only existing Facebook contacts.
Hi Guys,
Quite often I see that the Gmail app on my N7 (second generation) does not show the latest emails even after a complete sync. I have to switch between folders (say from Inbox to Priority-Inbox, and back to Inbox) to see the new emails. I know I am not the only to see this issue as I have seen a few redditors complaining about it as well, but I was wondering if any know of a solution to this problem.
Most often i have to do the folder switch trick as I do not know if the list of emails is up to date. This is a big annoyance.
Thanks,
nitro
I've never had problems with Gmail...
on an other note, you're posting this under the wrong forum, this should be in Questions and Answers
I have found no way to check all you mail accounts at once in "combined view" in the mail program. You need to go to each one and refresh it to check it.
Thats is of course if you DO NOT have your push setup.
