Hello,
i'm facing a problem with my wildfire by syncing the contacts from my phone to the google contacts. i already found different threads regarding that case, but there was no solution yet.
Found out following thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557075 but unfortunately it doesn't help me.
I'm using the mobile phone since about two month and really guess that it never worked properly. The syncronisation from google to the phone is working fine, but in the reverse way it didn't.
what i've done untill now:
-deleted already all contacts from googlemail and phone simultaneously, after that i imported all conatcts (which i backed up previously) to google again. Afterwards i synced them back to the phone without any problems
-each contact i created new, only on my phone will not be synced to google
-if i'm deleting any contact from google they would be automatically deleted on the phone
-i guess this seems to be a problem with the software, because other cellphone models of htc are having the same problem
i'm still using:
android 2.1 update 1
build number: 1.25.110.1 CL229476
kernel version: 2.6.29-6fb59e13
thank you in advance.
Is there nobody who can help me with that? Am I the only one who's facing that problem???
ive got like between one and 25questions to ask first.... there is one other option... just wipe the thing and let the google do its job. if your on froyo great. just ON COMPUTER fix up your contacts and whatever and save the account ON COMPUTER then wipe that phone. yes youll have to invest a wee bit of time restoring but that comes with the territory. google will restore what it restores.
any sync data u have now....is known to googles pushy servers. they push data rather than pull. which is awesome.
if u really need more help just PM

When i create a contact on my Hero there is no option to save as a Google contact, only Phone or SIM and so new contacts entered on the phone don't sync with Google.
I have tried clearing and re-entering Google account settings but no luck
Any suggestions??
please try to use another gmail account (to test the best would be, to use a newly created).. what happens then?
I had that a few months back and after a week of trying to find a fix for it the only solution anyone could come up with was a factory reset.
I did this and it fixed the problem - plus my phone was running a lot smoother and its been fine ever since!!

Several people have reported this issue in the past. It would seem that if you did not choose to sync contacts with Google at initial phone set up, you do not get the Google sync option and trying to set it up after the event doesn't help.
A wipe and fresh set up may help, though I'd advise a nandroid backup if you have a custom recovery image, so that you can restore if it doesn't help.

That wasnt my issue.... I had the option to start with and created many contacts on my phone - setting them up as a Google contact.
Suddenly after a few weeks of owning the phone, the Google option disappeared, leaving me with Phone or SIM.
A factory reset was the only thing I could find to fix it.

Thanks Felikz - that worked.
I created a new googlemail account, deleted the cache in the Google Apps screen, logged in using the new account details then immediatley deleted the cache again and logged in using the original account details and hey presto when i create a contact the Google option is there and no need to wipe the phone!
Thanks again.
Little frustrated with the Motorola Atrix and wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions.
I am having an issue with SMS messages going to the wrong individual or starting a second threaded conversation with the same contact even though there is only one instance of this contact and one phone number attached. It's very similar to the reported issue 9392 that was supposed to be addressed sometime a while back.
This is my second Atrix and I have experienced the problem on both handsets. My first purchase was back in April of this year and within weeks that problem started to occur. I had tried various custom ROMs and SMS applications - but they all had the same issue.
The second handset was just received this week. I have gone through and completely cleaned up any duplicate contacts and exported them all to a CSV file and re-imported in hopes of finding a culprit contact. I am syncing with Exchange 2007, but had disabled Google Contacts, MotoBlur, Blah, Blah. Now I am only syncing contacts with Google and mail and calendar with Exchange.
I have completely reset the device and running full stock ROM with no applications installed outside of what is included in the image with the phone. Since a majority of my communication is via SMS on my phone - it has become a big hassle. I just get tired of having to apologize and explain my misguided text over and over again.
I have tried several 3rd party SMS apps and all have the same issue.
Anything you guys could suggest would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that I could possibly think of that I have not done is replace the SIM card which is one I got with my first iPhone a few years back.
**Note: I have a WP7 running Mango that does not have this issue.
I'd be leaning toward a bad sim. Why don't you just go to your carrier and get a new one? AT&T has never charged me for a replacement sim. Just explain your issue and that you've tried all other avenues to correct the problem.
For the duplicate thread I was able to solve with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210840
others said it didnt work if they were syncing facebook contacts.. I dont sync
contacts with anyone but gmail contacts.
but here is the basis of the fix that worked for me
Ok I think I solved it my last solution wasn't did not continue to work.
your contacts need to be stored / saved as
this format +12223331234 and some work with just 2223331234
but all work with the first (so far)
(111) 222-3333, +1-111-222-3333 both fail
if you look how the sms db stores them its like the format first mentioned and when using that format there are no duplicates

Well, I tried to replace both the SIM and reformatted the numbers as suggested.
However, neither of those worked - so I dug a little more and narrowed it down to Motoblur and adding accounts under it.
I did find that if I did a hard reset of my phone and then used a new email address to setup a 'New' MotoBlur account (since you can't delete or reset an existing one) and then did not add accounts under MotoBlur - the issue resolved itself.
I still added a google account and exchange account - but everything else, like facebook, I downloaded the application to avoid MotoBlur from aggregating information into.
Hope that makes some sense and thanks for the reply.
Hi,
I froze the apps in a list via a thread here. Mainly authenticators I dont use. Everything was fine until today. Now I can't open any contact info or make calls without getting Contacts Storage (com.Motorola.contacts) force closing.
I unfroze everything and rebooted my phone but it did not fix my issue. Has anyone seen this before or can point me in the right troubleshooting direction Id appreciate it. Thanks
Figures it was the last one at the bottom I forgot. Yahoo authenticator can't be frozen or it'll FC contacts. Im sure this has been discovered already.
delete blurcontactssync.apk will solve this problem, no need to restore yahoo authenticator.
The more changes I make to blur the more problems I seem to run into. Contacts has been working fine like I said. Now I can't purchase apps from the market...tried everything. Google Support told me to factory reset. **** that. Buying new phone. So sick of this PoS
Hi,
I have a problem that might be to do with the new google contacts, at least it happened within the past couple of weeks or so.
Problem is I can not add any contacts, or rather I can, but they do not stay for very long. I save them to my google account where I have around 900 contacts.
I have now tried Contacts Fix Sync, and it reports that I have 25,000 contacts! So I am assuming the reason why new contacts are not added is because it is full. Using Contacts Optimizer, it turns out they are all duplicates (which is not the case when logging into my contacts on my PC).
So somehow it seems the google contacts keeps on downloading until it is full.
I have tried everything I can think of: reseting/erasing my phone (One Plus One), and now I have just tried on another different phone (LG G2), and it is the same problem.
It seems that recently, I am not sure when, google implemented a new Google contacts system, perhaps that is the problem, perhaps not.
Anyhow, it is quite annoying to say the least, basically I am not able to add new contacts. Any suggestions?
I have also asked this question in the Gmail Help Forum, so I hope I am not violating any rules. If I am, let me know and I will delete this. I also asked a similar question in the OPO XDA forum yesterday as I then thought it was to do with OPO (had not tried on the other phone at that time) - I will delete that one if I can.
Thanks in advance.
Hi There all. new to the site. I just received an elephone p9000 today and when i tried to set it up and sync my contacts and details from my old device to my new one. (had a samsung galaxy s4mini)
It allows me to add my google account and says that it has synced. but when i go to my contacts list there is nothing. it does not ask me if I would like to restore the data from a previous device or anything like that. (I have also tried to setup/restore to a xperia z3 with the same account and it works no problem.) . Also I am having problems finding some freeware to do a simple back up and restore. It seems as if now days you have to pay to do it. this was my backup idea as the syncing was not working.
any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
