Sorry if I have posted this in the incorrect area....
I have just installed Android 2.1 on my Hero and I am having a few problems with Facebook syncing.
Every single one of my Facebook contacts appears in People. So I select "View" and uncheck the Facebook tick box. Only my Gmail contacts now appear - great problem solved.
However when I go into "Messages" and select "People" all of my Facebook contacts still appear. Does anyone know how to get rid of these to only show Gmail contacts in Messages?
Thanks in advance.
I have searched and searched for this answer and I cannot find one that will work. I am new to android and this is causing me issues!!
I setup my google account and do not want my google contacts syncing. Other threads I have found say go into setting and uncheck syc contacts box and it will no longer sync. but I dont have a box to uncheck? Is there a way to just sync gmail mail and not the contacts? If there is please please please tell me how.
settings - accounts and settings - select the google account - THEN you will see checkboxes
mine does not give me that option. the only options it gives me is touch contacts to sync now. there are no boxes even visible to check or uncheck
It is in phone settings (or Settings app), not gmail settings.
Thats what I am saying, I go into settings, accounts and sync, choose my gmail account. it gives me the following options
sync books
sync contacts
sync gmail
sync calendar
below each of them it says touch to sync now. There are no boxes, i dont see where it give me the options to change the settings for any of them

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
settings button on bottom next to home screen- accounts and sync- uncheck auto sync.
You will see your account under manage accounts.
So then why don't you just click 'sync gmail'?
im trying to get it to stop syncing contacts. Its like its set up by default and I cannot get it to quit syncing the contacts

You have Auto-sync turned off. That's why you don't see the check boxes because you are not automatically sync anything.
Go back to account and sync screen and check the box 'Auto-sync'. Now you will see check boxes on all the items under your Gmail account.
ugh!!! your a genius!! Thank you, Im sorry for the ingorance. Coming from an Iphone, this is all very new to me.

Hi. I have a problem with my new Galaxy S3.
Once I login into Twitter, it doesn't add twitter contacts to my contact list. And in 'Settings > Accounts and Sync > Twitter' (sorry, my mobile is in spanish) it only appears to be synchronize data, not contacts.
Twitter doesn't appear neither in 'Contacts > Accounts'.
What should I do?
Thanks
Contact sync was deleted in the lasts updates, compatibility, I guess
So how do we add Twitter contacts to the address book now? Is there a 3rd party app that does it?
I cannot sync my Google Calendars in moPROJECT42 V8 STABLE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265805). In "Accounts">"Google">My account, and there is no option to sync Calendars. In Google Calendar App I go to "Configuration" then I tap on [email protected] and it says "You have no calendars" (That's not true, I have serveral calendars on this account and I have been using them in Gingerbread and they were working and are still online). Even when I go to "Visible Calendars" > "Calendars for Sync" .. It says "Loading.." and stays that way for ever.
Is there any way to fix this up or any alternative way to sync my Google Calendars?
Greetings.
I recently purchased a REALME1 and now I have an issue. I use hotmail to save all my contacts/ calendar/ photos etc. and have added hotmail account. However, the contacts are not syncing. When I went to the setting "Accounts & Sync" and select my hotmail account, I do not get the option to check mark contacts, only option for mail is available. Please help.
Hi did u find a solution to sync hotmail contacts..?
Me too encountering same problem ...
