Sync with google account

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"

[Q] Contacts Sync on DHD

Hi guys,
I have my contacts synced with a Google App account. The Google App account is set up as a MS ActiveSync account on my DHD, with only "Contacts" ticked. However, everytime I make some changes to a contact it always overwrite it with the info on the server. e.g. I deleted someone's photo and saved it, after the phone did a sync with the server, the photo for that contact re-appeared again. I have double checked that the Resolve Conflict for that account is set to "Keep items on the phone". Anyone have any idea why is it not doing it??
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Dialer Galaxy S 4 don't show details from google contacts

SGH-I337M
Android 4.3

Hi everybody.
All my contacts are syncronized with google contacts.
I have contacts with more than 4 numbers like:
Contact 1
Home XXXX
Office XXXX
Mobile XXXX

When I receive a call, the phone show me the name and the number, but don't show information like home, office, mobile.
Samsung support tell me that I need to save my contacts in the phone, but I really need my contacts in google.
Somebody can help me.

Thanks for your answare, but unless you tag your contacts as Google contacts, they will not sync to your Google account.

Hmmm.... dunno.
I have restored contacts from my SGS II to my (then new) SGS IV. All were synced to Google, even if none of them was marked as Google contact.
Do I need to say that I did NOT want Google to have my contacts?

Need help on Contacts and Call Log

Hello,
I am a new user of Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 (first time Android user) and I have issues with the contacts how it is at present and wanted your help to get those resolved.
Note:
I have Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Skype, Exchange account, WhatsApp are synced in the device, but I have disabled Contact Sync for all of these. So now if I go to Contacts screen I can see only Device Contacts which is GOOD .
Issue 1: Search
When I search for contact in the contacts screen the search result includes contacts from Gmail, WhatsApp etc as well along with the device contacts. How can we get rid of these?
From where contact search pull these Gmail contacts even if those are not available inside contacts screen? Same happen when I search for contacts from Compose message screen.
Issue 2: Call Log
The Call Log by default include all Call Log and Message Log. We do have a View Filter where we can set ALL Calls Only and this is a temporary fix for the view to show only Call Log. Next time I open Log I see both of them. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.

It's coz you must have previously synced your contatcs with Gmail / fb. Try deleting them all and adding them again from the backup. Also check the truecaller settings if any.

Thanks river-mystique, Yes when I setup the device with the Gmail ID it did auto synced contacts and later I disabled the Sync. So how can I remove all contacts and restore from backup? Or I need to factory Reset and Sync with Samsung Account? Also no True Caller.
Another question: If I factory reset and Sync with Samsung account (Where I have my contacts and SMS synced) and setup Gmail Again, will the device try to sync Gmail Contact again, as during device setup with Gmail there is no Option to disable Sync types. I think it is only available after the device is configured.
Thanks.

Google contacts not showing in Contacts app

I added a new contact to my Gmail contact list last week using the web interface at contacts.google.com. The new contact is not showing up on my V20 (recently upgraded to Oreo). My other Google contacts seem to be there. I have manually synced my Google contacts via Android Settings, and have checked that the Contacts app is set to show "All Contacts". Any idea why the new contact is not showing in the app?

Make sure your phone is syncing google contacts and is set to on.
