It seems like I have to manually sync both gmail and calendars. Is any one else experiencing this?
Running latest update with launcher pro and rooted
i had the same problem, but dont quite remember solution, had to enable background data, and clear the cache on the gmail, thats all i can remember for now
i had this issue, when i accidentally disabled sync in the power control widget, then removed the widget. added the widget back, turned sync back on, removed the widget again.
I'll give that a shot.

Thanks so much! I was going through the exact same problem and going crazy!! Then I read your post and realized I played with (and uninstalled) SuperPower control widget yesterday also ... same deal, I guess I messed with the settings and somehow disabled syncing .. I now re-installed, turned syncing back on and removed program.. whew!!
I use the default android widget and turn on the sync option(the one with two arrow), it works for me.
Try it again by sending a email to yourself. See if it syncs
How do you clear the cache on Gmail? I have a bug where it still shows a mail count and deleting the message doesn't delete from my account so I have to use the web interface to actually delete messages. Hoping this would help?!

I've been racking my mind for 4 days now! Thanks sooo much for jogging my memory!
Hey Everyone,
I'm having the same issue with Gmail not syncing properly.
w/ Bell Mobility, rooted
The syncing icon is persistent in the status bar and nothing is happening. In the gmail app itself I will get proper unread message counts but the messages will not display. I have had to change my google password twice because it's getting "suspicious activity". I'm assuming this is being caused by the app. Everything was working fine up until a couple days ago.
I've tried clearing the cache and it will load it fine, once. After that same issue. I'm going to try clearing the cache and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference.
I've also tried disabling/enabled auto-sync and it hasn't made a difference either.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
UPDATE:
-- removed gmail updates from the market **No change**
-- it's still retrieving new e-mails but the sync icon in the status bar stays the same.. I have no idea what's going on now.
I have an Exchange account setup on my phone (Samsung Vibrant, running Project-V, 2.2 ROM).
Is there some way to prevent it from syncing email? I only want the calendar to sync, but I can't find an option to disable email syncing. Any apps that can help me accomplish this?
Not positive just an idea, if you go under accounts and sync, click on the account, there maybe, like the google options, check boxes where you can check what you want to sync. I will do a little research, if that doesn't work see if I can find more.
Edit: another idea, go to the update schedule, and choose update manually?
Thanks button always appreciated!

Tried your advice awhile ago, unfortunately the sync schedule for email and calendar are linked on my device and there is no option to disable email syncing only

Thanks for the effort, moving on the try Google Calendar sync... just missing the ability to have update "pushed" to my phone.
Hello everybody,
first I want to thank you for all the great instructions and FAQs, they really helped a lot.
However, I finally bought myself an Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and flashed it yesterday with the Resurrection 1.8.1 ICS ROM (which is really amazing). But I am experiencing an issue for which I couldn't find a solution.
After synchronizing the S2 via MPE with Outlook, and saving the contacts only on the phone they disappear after a while. But not the contacts which are linked to an online account (Facebook etc).
I think this issue was also raised in [Rom](M5)[Pitch Black](tabletUİ)[AOKP-B35][04/05]Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] (page 2546):

Thanks a lot ...
Amazing rom. I like Resurrection Remix.
After no help and still problem with loosing contacts I moved to "CriskeloServanTEAM-V8-LP7" and now all is OK.
Please can you fix this bug?

Does anyone now what I could do without having to sync the contacts with Google.
Thank you for your help.
Have you checked to see which contacts are selected to be displayed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
All of the contacts are displayed, because I did not sync it with Google.

I think he meant when you go to the Contacts app, then open menu > more > display options, you can choose various options here. Under the "select contacts to display" heading, if under phone, nothing is checked, then it will not display any local phone contacts. See if they are all un-checked here.
EDIT: Oh, you're on Resurrection Remix, which is an ICS ROM. Could be slightly different for you. But the idea is the same.

Your are right if I uncheck everything no contacts are seen.
But if I want to view the contacts I saved on the phone (phone-only, unsynced contact), I have to show "All contacts", but after some time these contacts disappeared.

Hmm.. Turn off contact sync on your google account, maybe?

I disabled all synchronization except Google calendar, then I also disabled the synchronisation with Contact-sync.
But still the contacts are deleted. The only contacts which are left are either synced with HaxSync or Whatsapp.
Does it mean I cannot leave any contacts which are not synced with something?
It should be possible to leave some contacts on the phone itself?!

That's very weird. I can save a new contact that is "phone only" and it displays just fine, and is never synched to my Google account. (though, I really don't understand why people don't like synching to Google. It's like automatically backing up your Contacts online. What's not to like?)
Can you post some screenshots maybe of your display settings with all the settings expanded?
Just save all contacts to SIM memory, not in Phone memory.

I can't imagine that it is normal that all the phone contacts are deleted if they are not synced with an account...

It's NOT normal. As I said, it works fine on my phone. Again, please post screenshots of your settings. I'm guessing there is a wrong setting somewhere.

I think there isn't any way to get back your contacts, but hereafter save all contacts to SIM memory.

Could you specify which settings you need, or do you need all of them?
Would you mind telling me your settings in the meantime and I compare them with mine.
Thanks again for the help.

I was talking about display settings from your contacts app, like I was suggesting in post 4.
For me, (I'm on GB still) I open contacts, menu, more, display options, and expand out phone. I have everything checked here.
I don't know what it looks like on ICS, as I'm not on ICS... but if I can see screenshots of a similar screen, I may be able to help you. You may not have that set of contacts set to display.
EDIT: I got a hold of a work colleague's i9100 who has ICS installed on it, and found the menu steps...
Ok, so on ICS, it's a bit different. From the Contacts app, hit menu, contacts to display, customize, then expand out phone. Are all the checkboxes here checked?

If I check all of them I have ca 150contacts, but after I have synced it with MPE I usually have over 500.
After some time (or a sync with an account I guess) the contacts decline only to the contacts which are synced with an account.
Currently, I have one possible solutions in mind which is however not satisfying for me:
1. Syncing all contacts with Google.

I was concerned about JUST the checkbox entries under "Phone"... which isn't in any of your screenshots.

If I click on "Contacts to display" the options of the first Screenshot show up. So there is no "Phone" option
I just created a new contact which is then included in the googlemail account and then shown as "phone" and other shown as "connections".
Hope that is what you ment.

It's not what I meant... it's really strange; on my co-worker's phone, on the screen of your first screenshot, he has Phone and SIM displayed, in addition to his Google account... but you do not have either. (So krasavchik's suggestion above wouldn't work either...)
What ROM are you running? Is it a custom ROM, or are you on a Samsung stock firmware?

It is the Resurrection 1.8.1 ROM. I think this problem was mentioned in a post concerning previous versions but I don't know if it is still common in 1.8.1

Whoops! You mentioned that in your first post. And I even acknowledged that fact in post 4. Silly me... Sorry.
But that's still really strange that Phone and SIM don't show up in that screen.

Hmm... so it sounds like it is an issue specifically with this ROM. You may want to inquire in the ROM thread to see if anyone else using this ROM is able to get "Phone" or "SIM" contacts to show up in the contacts app.
Most of my favorites I display on my people widget are linked between my google contacts and facebook profiles. No matter how many times I change them to display the google contact pic, it always changes back to their facebook profile pic after a little while.
Searched high and low with no luck. Have had the problem with stock rooted and mean-rom.
Any ideas?
I've had to go into each "favorite" contact and manually change them from facebook picture to google picture of the contact.

Yep, I've done that at least a dozen times, but It will revert back to the facebook pic. Let know if it stays for you.
I can't isolate the problem either. It seems to keep it on restart. I will even keep it when I restart sense.
My thinking is the facebook sync is overriding my settings, but I dont' know how to stop it from overriding. I still want all of my other contact to sync up...
Haxsync, sync contacts then manually select the contacts you don't want to update and turn off Facebook syncing.

Works great, thanks.
According to the settings, it doesn't look like it would do what I want. But I installed it a few days ago, and everything now works how I like it to.
ok i got a weird issue happening
i have 568 contacts synced through google/gmail
the contacts are not staying synced i have saved contacts numerous times for people i talk to on a daily basis....the same number numerous times even.
but other contacts that i don't use have stayed synced with no problems
i have actually saves the same contact under different names many times and still have them not sync.
i have checked all of my sync settings and have them syncing correctly
i have the following sync systems setup
verizon backup assistant
exchange (through work)
facebook
3 google accounts (oddly the internet portion for one account does not sync )

This point here kind of confuses me. Have you checked/enabled "internet" syncing for this account? i assume you know where you could selectively turn off and on syncing different items for an account. how did you conclude that internet does not sync for one account?
Syncing is been the basics of smartphones and i don't expect this to be a bug somewhere.
If you have got the time, i would suggest a system reset.
Just for clarification, are you saving numbers and it is not syncing back to your Google account? I had this problem when I first got this phone since I am used to AOSP Roms. I noticed that I did not change my "Contact Type" to my Google account when saving new contacts. The default saves to your phone if you do not select another account. I am not sure if this is the issue you are experiencing. Good luck.

Yes that's right in the area where you can selectively choose what to sync the only thing that's ever an error is the internet for one account that says" sync is experiencing troubles please try again later "
I'll try a reset tonight and see what happens ....

When you say your contact type do you mean yours or the contact tyour saving?
I'll have to dig through the settings a bit more.

When you create a new contact it has a box that says "Contact Type". If you do not change it to Google, it will default to be saved on your phone only. That is all I can think of if you are saving a contact and it is not syncing. Unless it is a syncing problem throughout your phone.

In address book you can also chose to only display Google contacts or any combination of all your sources.
