Subscribing. Have the same issue on CM10.1

I also had the same issue. It seems to happen when you alter a contact that is linked to a G+ profile from the device and then try to sync. At least that's what makes it happen for me. Clearing data on contacts and contacts storage solved the problem but I obviously lost the changes I was trying to make... ended up just changing it from within Gmail>Contacts and then syncing the device. Will link to this thread in the CM nightly thread to see if we can get some more exposure of this bug.

No sync with Facebook
I'm having an issue with Facebook contacts. Not syncing at all.... although in "accounts" it is turned on and syncs.
Any guess?

That's a Facebook issue as it's not natively supported in android. You have to use a third party app to sync it properly. I use contact sync for facebook.

hi,
you only can use contacts, stored on your phones DB. You have to copy all contacts stored on your SIM to the DB. After doing so, you can select them all.

i've set the pics of my old p3600 but the resolutions is not good

Well thanks, all of them are stored in the phone DB. Syncronized them back from mobical.net. Somehow, some contacts can be chosen, some not. Already set up a contact i wanted to have completely new, but without success at the end. Not choseable...
Ok, think I got the bug.
If in the contact is more data then phone numbers, it cannot be added. Like Emailadress or so...
Can someone please confirm this?
Try to add a full contact with address, fax, emailadress, etc, whatever. On my device, it did not work...
solution
If you choose a contact with more than one number, a new menu should appear with all the numbers (and even e-mail addresses) listed.
In that menu, you must not click the ok button, but select one of the numbers from the list.

Keep them coming !
I use iAgenda or tasksmanila (only for tasks).
+1 for thumbcal. Only one I've tried but it does everything I wanted it to... And as a graphics guy I like the ability to switch themes or customize your own.
Anyone have any comments about doing a "Getting Things Done" approach to Task/Time/Calendar Management with the TP2 ?
If so, comment on this thread.
Pocket Informant is a very powerfull PIM application.

The sync with Google is a cool feature !
I was thinking I would be able to sync with friend's calendars.

yes for me its a great feature as I can keep business and home calendars separate as well as I also sync my wifes google calendar, so I know where the kids are! I haven't found another that will do it. there is a bit of setting up involved on the google end but it now works well.

[Q] Calendar Sync

If I go into Settings->Accounts and sync-><google account>, under Sync Calendar the date shown is 9/23, and there is a sync icon next to the checkbox. If I uncheck then check the Sync Calendar checkbox, the sync icon rotates for a few seconds, but never goes away and the date never updates.
I've created and deleted items in the calendar both from the phone and website, and the calendar appears to sync ok, so this appears to just be an oddity. My biggest concern is if this is draining the battery (the sync icon in the notification bar displays from time to time for only a few seconds, like it always has. it's only the sync icon and date next to "Sync Calendar" that's a problem). Has anyone seen this issue before? Is it anything to be concerned about? Thanks!

As you can see, the sync icon is next to Sync Calendar, and has a date of September. My biggest concern is if this is draining the battery or causing an issue with syncing my calendar (it seems to sync OK, but I'm paranoid). I was wondering if there was a way to reset the calendar sync or anything. Thanks!

I read someone who did find the call sync was draining their battery sure to a corrupted store or something. Find better battery stats to confirm

E-mails not being pushed to nexus 7

Hi
My email on Gmail and my cooperate e-mail on office 365 is not being pushed to my nexus 7.
However both my android phones and my Windows pc it works fine.
To see new emails on the nexus I need to open the email app or Gmail app and then only does it sync.
Is this an settings issue? I have set it up with the same settings as my phones.

Probably of no use to you at all... The only time I've had trouble with accounts not syncing in the background was when my WiFi was switching off when the device was asleep, but then it would sync once I'd put the device back on.
Unfortunately, Email has stopped.
I am going to start in this thread in hopes I may get an answer.
I am not getting a push problem with my emails, but I am getting an issue with my corporate email not being able to be opened. I select an email to be opened and I get this message, After the message my email app closes down. Any thoughts to why this may be happening? Thanks in advance.
For gmail, I use the Gmail app. For corp email, I use Touchdown.
Both work without any issues.
I have a couple extra gmail accounts and a number of pop accounts which are for status that I use K9 Mail with, and those work find as well.
I don't use the default mail app on the device.

[Q] Aditional google calendars don't sync...

Hello,
I don't know what's wrong with the synchronization of calendars with Nexus 4 (Stock ROM) but I haven't found a way to auto-synchronize additional calendars. I mean, apart from my personal calendar I have other additional calendars selected, named:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Except the personal calendar ([email protected]), whose synchronization works perfectly, the other additional calendars were synchronized only the first time I selected in the device (in the screenshot you can saw that are synchronized but them are not). To re-sync I have to remove and put them back by hand, every time ...
The web access to calendar shows all calendars perfectly well so the problem seems to be located in the Nexus 4.
Please, if anyone knows how to make this work, comment.
Thank you and happy new year!
I had the same problem. What worked for me was unchecking the additional calendars and left it like that for a day. A day later I re-checked them to sync and voila! magically they started syncing.

Thanks. I'll try...
