For some reason the Gmail and Xoom email apps will not sync with all my Gmail contacts. Some contacts don't show. All are available through the Gmail website interface.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure you haven't got a filter active in the contacts app on your Xoom? By filter, I mean "View only contacts with email", "View only contacts with a phone number" etc.

Thanks! I'm lucky I spotted this thread! My gmail stopped auto syncing yesterday too, have Google maybe changed something? Anyway, I deleted my gmail data and everything works now.

I'm brand new to android, and smart phones in general. How do I access google calendar, other than through the web browser? Like is there a way to access it through the gmail app? I hope my question is clear. Thanks!

Add your Google account under "Accounts & Sync" in the settings menu and check the box for Calendar syncing...
It will then show up in the stock Android calendar on your phone.
I'm new as well. Coming from a Blackberry. Does the my calendar that is on the phone sync with the Google Calendar online? When I am adding entry's it ask where do I want to put them...
Laristech, the calendar on the phone syncs with google. I just tried it. I assume it works the other way around too.

Correct, it Syncs back and forth between computer and phone as the information is stored in the cloud. However, when adding new events on the Phone I always add them to the Google calendar, not to "My Calendar". Which is a pain because it always defaults to My Calendar and I have to change it each time I add an entry.
Hi folks,
Hopefully will have my nexus 7 soon - am i right in assuming i can activate it using the same gmail address i have on my phone? If so.. i dont really want my emails coming to the 7 as the tablet is probably going to be for family use.. can you just delete the gmail or or remove the email account or something? I suppose I could always just set up a new gmail address and use that.
Thanks,
Michael
Just set it up not to refresh automatically. Easy-peasy
You can tell it not to sync gmail under "accounts and sync" in settings.

Sync, that's what I meant... why did I say refresh?!? But yeah, just turn off the sync and you are set.
Try freezeing or disabling the gmail app from the apps list or root it and uninstall gmail app

On my Galaxy S3, when I ran the Facebook app for the first time and signed in, it popped up a screen asking if I wanted to sync contacts and I could choose to sync all contacts, just the contacts that were already on my phone, or no contacts at all.
I installed the Facebook app on my Nexus 7 and that screen doesn't appear. When I logged in for the first time, it just went to the regular status updates page.
If I go into Settings - Accounts, and click on my Facebook account, there's a check mark next to Contacts for them to be synced. Also, if I go into the People app's settings and go to "Contacts to display" my Facebook account is listed there and I have it set to display all contacts, but none of my Facebook contacts are listed.
Any idea how I can get this to work? Thanks.

You need an app like HaxSync or a custom rom that has Facebook sync baked into it.
Nexus devices don't have it stock apparently because of Google and Facebook dispute over the API or something its the same on Gnex and Nexus S
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried HaxSync, but unfortunately it doesn't do what I want.
HaxSync pulls down Facebook info for the contacts that already exist on my phone, but that's all it does. What I want to do is add all of my Facebook contacts to the people app, even if they're not listed on my phone already.
Go into the HaxSync account in settings, click Preferences, Contact Settings, and uncheck "Existing Contacts Only" ..you may need to delete the account and re-add it to force it
Exactly! ^
The only reason I use haxsync is for photos for contacts. It does its job flawlessly.

Did a search and found nothing about this so here goes...
I just activated my Nexus 7 and noticed that it linked up to Facebook
I did away with Facebook over a year ago, now when I launch my MSN messenger app, I have 84 contacts from Facebook listed, all offline
Anyway to unlink Facebook?
Go into settings, Facebook sync, hit options in the Facebook sync page, and remove account

Checked and nothing like this in my settings, only accounts I have listed are Dropbox and Google. Checked Google and nothing for Facebook sync in there.
Also checked settings in my MSN app (MSN Mercury), nothing there either.
Should mention, I'm unlocked, rooted, but running stock.

It sounds more like MSN Messenger imported your Facebook contacts, not your Nexus. When you log into MSN Messenger on your PC or other device, I'll be that your Facebook contacts are still there. If so, then it means that this is an issue with MSN Messenger, not with your Nexus. I would look in your MSN Messenger options and see if there's a way to remove your Facebook contacts.
Hi
I have 2 google accounts on my device one is with [email protected] and the other [email protected] first i use for purchases back
ups etc...and the second is just private I keep IT junk free.so when ever I go to the gmail app to check for emails its shows the hotmail.com account too....but i cant sync emails or anything from it so every time I need to switch back to the gmail.com account..Is there any way that i can delete that hotmail.com account from the gmail app, but not from the whole device because i use it for apps and stuff and I purchased lots of app with it.
THX
Any suggestions??
Can't you just untick the box for sync for that account? Also might check which is the default address.
I did that already it always goes to the gmail app right away...I did a factory reset put my primary google account([email protected]) and when i go to the gmail app its there,and i cant delete it because its not setup and i cant set it up in gmail because its hotmail adress.if i delete it from the accounts in settings then its gone in the gmail app.But I need that account for my paid apps back ups and other stuff.very annoying...but that started to happen yesterday before that i just had my gmail adress in the gmail app.It didnt automatically put my hotmail adress to the gmail app.
Did you try to make the gmail account the primary and the hotmail as the 2nd Google account and unchecked all sync?

use the Email app for your hotmail account and GMail for your gmail account
When you open Gmail, does the heading next to the gmail icon say Inbox and show one of the accounts or does it say All mail? I think All mail only shows the first or primary gmail account. Try changing the drop-down; it's a filter.
Here are some screenshots...I just want that the hotmail.com account doesnt show up in the gmail app like it used to be before,,,,but now when ever I add my hotmail.com account it always shows up in gmail.I just want to delete it from there but not from my device because I need it for other stuff.
I have 4 gmail accounts, what I do is that I forward all the incoming mails to my primary, so I only have 1 gmail account on my phone but I receive from 3. I'm pretty sure there's an option to do this from your hotmail account. Google a bit!

Thx, I Know that I can forward my email from hotmail to gmail thats no problem....but that hotmail.com account is my primary account I purchased lots of app with it and other stuff so I need it on my device....but I want to delete it from the gmail app thats all.I dont know if that is possible...
Try this setup.... use your Gmail as primary and you add your hotmail as your 2nd gmail account. Also, setup your hotmail in the email (see image) app too. set up inbox check frequency in setting to never since you don't care about that email. You can always open the email to update.

PS: This started to happen when i tried to add my hotmail.com to my gmail account (Check mail from other accounts using POP3)
But I didnt like it so I just reset everything to default...did a factory reset on the device but after that the hotmail.com account always shows up in the gmail app
