Hi there,
a friend of mine got a new s4. We booted it and added google information. Everything syncs under settings/accounts/google account, including app data, chrome, gmail, google photos etc
The problem is that there is no Sync Contacts so the google contaacts do not sync with the device.
any ideas?
thanks.

Go into settings>accounts and click on google after that click on your gmail account email address.
After that you will see many sync options including "sync contacts" check mark it and it will sync.
Good luck!

Make sure it has this GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk in system/app/ folder.
This app syncs phone contacts with Google.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's not a dev or an app thing.
So...
I use google account to sync with Contacts, Calendar. Everything working fine. Spent a few minutes to transfer my contacts from my X1 to Gmail and then sync them to my Magic. When I add a new calendar event or a new contact through web to my Google Account it get nothing but a few seconds to come up to my Magic.
When I add a calendar event using my phone, same thing. From phone to Google Calendar in seconds. Well, that doesn't happen with contacts tho.
I've tried it a few times, leaving a fulll 24 hour period to see if my contact gets from phone to google contacts. Of course, I store a contact as "google" type.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
PS : I use CM with bcrook's kernel patch for 32A devices. I'm not sure if that helps somehow but I just want to be sure.
Same here. changes to my contact list on my phone aren't getting back to my contact list in gmail.
Hi, they are but you have to go into contacts in your gmail account and they should be in All Contacts not the tab which says "All Contacts"

I know there is a ton of threads on this, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am using imilka's Glacier Sense v1.3 and I have all my contacts doubled. How can I fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Check by pressing the windows key when in the people/contacts which accounts you have selected to show, if you have phone and google choose just one. if you only have google, sign into gmail on your pc, select contacts on the left and then you can merge duplicates. on your phone resync google contacts under settings, accounts and sync, google account, and it should do it for you.

I have gmail and facebook both on there. I went into gmail and unchecked the option to sync with contacts. Should I leave this one checked and not facebook? I want to have my friends profile pics auto sync to my contacts. I did try to uncheck gmail but everything is still doubled. Will signing into gmail and doing what you said, have any effect if I want facebook to sync?

depends how you originally imported your contacts and where you saved them.
If on first boot you enabled them through a previous android build keep google contacts sync on.
The facebook side of things will sync your contacts, but not right away, it will try and match existing ones and give you a notification that contacts can be linked and let you check the right facebook profile is being synced with the correct contact.
Check you have nothing under sim card and phone accounts showing also.
Well I deleted everything data/cache with CWM. So I thought that would of cleared everything. I also did a full wipe of my SD card. I then flashed the glacier rom with CWR. I did however find a very easy fix to the contact problem. I was able to click view inside the contacts tab and uncheck any accounts that were set to sync contacts. So now my contacts only show up one entry. Now my problem is when I send a text, the contacts are still doubled. I am not sure how to fix that one..
Hi there,
I have two gmail accounts set in my phone.
I have no problems syncing contacts from phone to my first gmail acc or vice versa.
But I couldnt get to sync my phone contacts to the second gmail account? Is it meant to be like that? if not, how can I get my phone contacts appear in my second gmail account?
I'm not too sure why it won't sync but I guess each device will sync with only one account at one time...so if you need to get device contacts to your other account, you could do a manual export from device and a import from your gmail account...

I beg your pardon as what you just said is certainly not correct.
I myself have my contacts, emails, calender synced with not one, not two but three gmail accounts.
usually when adding an account it asks for what all to sync. and if incase it didnt, i recommend going to Settings -> Accounts -> 1) remove the account of which contacts cant be synced. 2) add an account, input the credentials of the affected account. 3) it must give you 3 options for sync, respectively ("Contacts", "email", "Calender").
I assume you are using a stable build and not some experimental/DEV ROM.

Hello! (excuse my english)
I have a problem in my Defy (2.2) with the synchronization of contacts and calendar with Google. When I synchronize my contacts, the contacts that I deleted came back and the new ones disappear. In the calendar the same thing happens. I looked around a lot and found no solution. Can anyone help me?
Do u use google calendar sync and google contacts sync for outlook? Or any other sync tool for comp and account?
Do u use msoutlook or website for google account?

Hi, Thanks for helping!
I don't use outlook for anything, not even in my computer. I use website for google account always, and I dont have any other sync tool for google.
It's like, it transfer the "old" data from the website (calendar and contacts) to my device, instead updating all.
So in settings>accounts and synchronization u have checked 'Data in background' and when u checkmark 'autosync' and press your google account u have checked 'contacts' and 'calendar'? (after checking u can uncheck 'autosync')

Well, my phone have only the option "accounts" (not accounts and synchronization); I open "accounts", select my google account and then I have a list: sync contacts, sync gmail, sync calendar. If I want to sync I have to press one by one.
In settings>Data manager>data delivery, I have always checked "background data", if thats what you talking about.
Note: My android is 2.2.1 and I have not enabled motoblur, if that helps.
Well, no more ideas. I had motoblur just for a moment (mean few hours), then switched to custom ROM without motoblur.
The problem is strange but maybe u can try switching motoblur on, as it is to do with accounts sync. Give it a try.

I guess I will try that. Thanks for your patience.
I can't believe I have to ask someone about this, but here goes. Where the heck does the "People" app sync contacts from? I assumed it would be from my gmail contacts, but it's not. I have doubles/triples of some people in there (old phone number, new email addresses, etc). I have no idea where it's actually getting that info from. Does anyone know?

Ah, so from Facebook, etc - that makes sense. Any idea if there is a way to make it sync from google contacts only (ie. the ones I have in gmail)? Thanks.

Of course. Go into settings then go to accounts. Here go through all the accounts and uncheck contact sync.

Actually, if you have your Facebook contacts mixed in there then you need to go into the Facebook app, go to settings, and other "Other Settings" set "Sync Contacts" to "Don't Sync". That will remove your Facebook friends from your cotacts.
