In my account settings under Google, I don't have a "sync contacts" option...I have no idea why it's missing. Do we have to add that manually?? If so, how? I can't imagine why this was omitted...
Edit: ugh nm, I'm an idiot...it's frozen in TiBu. I must have done it by accident.

Does anyone know how to do this? I set up my Wing to receive messages from my Gmail account, but now I've decided I don't want it on the phone anymore. I can't figure out how to remove the account.
open mail app the go to menu,tools,options...tap and hold the account u want to delete, then tap delete.....hope this helps
Ahhh, I always forget about the tap-n-hold. I'm an idiot. Thanks a lot!
Is there any other way to delete an account besides the tap-n-hold trick? It doesn't seem to be working for me with the ROM I'm using. Is there a place in the registry to delete these accounts? I know there is for Microsoft-based accounts (MSN, Outlook), but I'm trying to get rid of Gmail.
EDIT: Never mind. Going to Menu/Delete from Account Picker does the trick.
I have done a search for this and can't find an answer - apologies if I've missed one.
After months of irritation with the HTC Sync thing, I have now exported my Outlook contacts to my Gmail account and now have 396 of them sitting there. I enabled Gmail syncing in the settings menu and did a sync, changing my contacts view to 'Google'. Problem is, I get nine hundred contacts after the sync, even though I have turned off the 'phone contacts' view and should just be seeing the Google contacts. (I can see 904 gmail contacts in the 'Google view' in the 'contact source' view.)
If I go to menu, view and then deselect 'phone' and select 'google' and then hit 'delete all' and then try again, will this delete my phone contacts or just the google ones? (I can't risk losing everything, you see.)
Thank you, in advance.
I had a similar problem. I logged into my gmail account from my pc and found three of each contact. Gmail has a nice function to find duplicates and then you can merge them. Worked fine for me.
Hi all.. Don't know if I've done something wrong (!).. but the contacts on my wife's Legend aren't syncing with Googlemail.... The phone is set up with the account, and the sync looks like it works on the phone, but when I log on to google there are no contacts..!! Help!
Her contacts are probably set as 'Phone Contacts' not as 'Google Contacts'. If you go into the People Application and look to the right of the contact name, it should say 'Google'.
Fix
Try and log out of facebook in settings/account and sync/facebook for HTC Sense, and then reboot and then log in again.
worked for me

I have the same problem. In fact i has have some "google" contact Sync with Google and other "phone" linked with but not sync.
Is there a way to change the phone contacts in google contacts without re-insert them?
I searched for a tool a while back to do just that but didn't find one. As I had only half a dozen 'phone contacts' in over 450 'google contacts', I ended up erasing and putting them back manually via google.com/contacts
Ended up backing them up to the SD card, factory reset the phone and then re-imported them back into google, instead of the phone. PITA.. but had to be done..
First, hello. First post, I'm an HTC Incredible owner (root, s-off, SkyRaider 2.2 ROM), and my wife just got a Droid2.
I'm stumped on trying to get her Google calendar to show up on her Droid2.
Accounts shows her Google account and when I tap it, it shows options for synch of email and contacts, but there is no entry for calendar like there is on my Incredible.
When I go to the option to add an account, there is no option to add a calendar to synch (not that I expected one).
So, basically, she has a useless calendar app, you can't even add entries, because it wants something to synch with first.
What am I missing?
That's strange. Sync Calendar is there on my Droid 2 and works fine. Has she set up her calendar through Gmail online yet? Might need to do that first.
Yeah, I thought that might be it, you're right, it is a new account.
I set up her calendar through Gmail on line and added one event about an hour ago.
Maybe I should just give it some time...or, maybe I need to delete her Google account on the phone and re-add it?
Yeah I would delete and re-add the account.
Yup, that did it...of course, I had to go through a full factory reset to delete that account, but after a bit of setup all over again, she's in business. Thx.
New contact keep staying in "Local" and not sync to my Google account.
When I sync from "Setting > Account > ", it shows "Synced", but contact not actually there.
"Google Contact Sync" also has "Contact permission".
Can anyone help please?
Edit: new contact save to "[email protected]_local.com" - is this a spy or something?

When you create a new contact, at the top there is a drop down selection... It lets you choose: Google / Phone / SIM
Make sure "Google" is chosen. I was doing the same thing a few weeks ago after I upgraded and couldn't find any of my new contacts, then realized I was saving them to my SIM by default, and I had 7 new SIM contacts. I edited them and moved them to "Google" and they are now sync'd with my Google account.
So true. It's really hard to see it on top of the "Name"
