Hi all,
I've had this issue for some time and it's getting to be a nuisance. My contacts will sync fine for a couple days then continue to get an error while syncing with the server.
I've tried deleting cache and data from Contact Storage. This allows the contacts to re-sync for like a day then back to the error. This happened on my Note 2 as well.
I was reading somewhere that one of my contacts could be corrupted and causing this to happen. How do I determine which entry is the calprit?
Any assistance is appreciated!

Use contacts syns fix from google play
I don't even have a sync contacts option in my Google sync settings...I have no idea what the hell happened. Did you have to add that manually or was it already in Google sync?

I'm sorry if there was any mention of this problem before, but I wasn't able to find it.
But what happened this afternoon was kinda troubling. I've just bought my HTC Hero, two days ago. I've synced it with outlook with 700 something contacts. And all was fine. There was some trouble with syncing, but all contacts were transferred to phone memory.
When out of a blue, this afternoon, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and all contacts simply vanished. Calendar was still intact, txts as well, all fine but the contacts.
When I came home, I tried to sync it again but it just synced two calendar notes. It synced as if all contacts were on the phone, but they were not. So I've managed to restore them by over-riding phone with PC.
Can anyone explain this? How do I know this won't happen again?
I'm using Windows 7 and Outlook 2007 as well as the latest edition of HTC Sync.
(maybe relevant, maybe not, I've managed to hopefully resolve the before mentioned troublesome connection when syncing by manually installing drivers for Windows 7)
Thank you. I hope I was clear.
Probaby an obvious one but if you go into Contacts=>Menu=>View have you accidentally unchecked the set contacts you want to show ?
I'm having the same problem, but running Windows XP w/ Outlook 2007 instead.
First time was using stock ROM. One day all my contacts disappeared (phone and google contacts). The phone contacts I retrieved by forcing HTC Sync to overwrite my phone's data with my PC's. The google contacts I retrieved by doing a factory reset and setting up my google account again.
Then I installed MCR 2.6, and again my contacts disappeared, but this time only the phone contacts (the google contacts remained).
Has anyone else experienced this?
The same problem, twice.
Both time I had this problem when I sent a message.
I think this should be a problem of the ROM-version, and I hope the next ROM will fix it.
I've been trying to figure this out forever.
Every once in a while my phone contacts will vanish, but the Google contacts always remain.
I've tried turning off synchronization for Google contacts and it seems that my phone contacts have stopped vanishing for now. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Simply migrate you contacts to google. Its very easy. Quite why anyone struggles with Outlook on Android is a mystery. I was Outlook mad pre the Hero, now everything is migrated to googlemail/google calendar/google contacts.
No USB connecting nonsense for updates, all over the air, 2 way sync. Much better than outlook ever was.
I thought it would be a great idea to sync my work outlook account with Google calendar via Google sync on the desktop.
I synced my outlook to Google calendar just find until I realized that there is no option to select a sub calendar so it synced thousands of events from my outlook to my primary calendar in Google.
Since my Google calendar account is also synced with my phone, my phone now has thousands of events with out the ability to toggle them getting my personal and work calenders all in one.
I went into Google via web, and deleted ALL events and wiped everything clean. I wanted my phone to also be clean. When I synced my phone the changes did not reflect what I did on the web.
I forced synced for the past 8 hours, and turned the phone off twice since then.
I found that it is syncing but not removing the old events. I change the calendar name in the web and it also changes it on my phone. But it never removes all those thousands of events off my phone.
Another test revealed that if I add an event on my phone, it will sync to the web.
If I add an event it will sync to my phone.
If I delete an event on my phone, it will delete it off the web.
Here is the issue, if I delete an event off the web, it does not delete it off my phone.
How can I remove these thousands of entries on my phone now?
I cannot remove my Google account and re-sync because when I tried it said my only option is to factory reset which I prefer not to do.
Thanks.
Try to change your google account password on web. When your phone won't sync then remove that account and add a new account but you can still use the same account name. I hope I make sense.

I'm trying to get my dads phone going. Droid X, the people that first set it up didn't use his real Google email address. So I tried formatting it and starting over. Did that and it shows no option to sync with a calendar. Just contacts, and I don't think all of them came through. Around 900. I'm trying to use the free sync program from Google for Outlook. He also has Plaxo and I tried there sync feature as well.
At first I don't think his outlook was uploaded to Google calendar. So when sync ran it took them from outlook and uploaded the calendar to Google.
Still not able to get the option on the main phone account for calendar. Any ideas ? Do I have to reset device again?

The phone will sync with whatever is in his Google calendar account. Find the best way to keep his online Google calendar synced with whatever he is using on his pc and the phone will sync automatically.
Fixed it. Had to reset the phone after I uploaded the calendar from outlook to google. Doesn't make since that the option to sync wouldn't be there regardless of having a calendar uploaded at time of initial setup. HTC incredible that I have did... why ?

Hello there Android friends,
I'm having difficulties with syncing my contacts with google properly.
There is this function within SGS2 that allows "joining contacts". Therefore allowing us to join a contacts’ email to its telephone number.
I have been spending quite a lot of time rectifying my contacts like so. And then after this I synced my efforts with Google.
However, when I go to my gmail and press the contacts button, the changes are not transferred (or synced) with google, the data is still separated. With data I mean, the cellphone and emails of the same contacts.
I have also tried this by connecting my USB and viewing my contacts with Kies, however the same problem applies again.
Aside from this all other google services sync correctly, implying that my sync setting should be okay, right? (auto-sync is turned on, sync contacts is turned on)
Related to this, what does the function “merge with google” do at contacts>menu>Merge with google.
Thnx in advance
I don't believe contact linking actually changes the base google contact, it just links the two, aka the extra data won't be added to google.
I would think merge with google would transfer all your contacts to google contacts but i haven't tried it so I can't be sure.

Hello everyone,
Here is something weird to me. Got this ZTE Axon 7 mini just the other day. It was running Android 6, so I tried to sync all my 360 google contacts, and each time it only syncs up to 250 contacts. I removed the google account, tried again a few times but still the same issue. I have tried a different contacts application, bu it didn't help.
So I did the update to Android 7, and same issue, it would only sync up to 250 contacts. Please help.
Forgot to mention, the contacts are clearly labeled as belonging to that gmail address. Also, inside the phone I can create more contacts that would belong to the google account. Seems to be a sync issue. I also tried turning sync off and on a few times and there is no error showing for the contacts sync option.
Other things I tried: disabled the contacts stock application and used a different one, erased cache, used a contacts sync fix application, nothing helped so far.
This one blew my mind: Exported all my contacts to vfc, they got imported to my google email on my phone, the phone ended up deleting some of my 360 contacts until I was down to 277. There are no contacts saved to the phone memory or sim card.
The other thing I am considering to try is to use a hammer...
