Contacts sync ?

So I just noticed that whenever I add a new contact its not being synced and added to my Google contacts .. whenever I added a contact on my nexus it automatically added it to Google contacts. How come it doesnt on the tbolt?

I am seeing the same thing... My droid always uploaded everything and now my Thunderbolt doesn't. The Apps don't go to the Cloud either. It says when I setup the google account that it's going to sync but I don't see it doing anything. I reformat nothing comes back....

Seems there's often a delay between the syncing of Google and my backup.
Sometimes when flashing roms ill get all my contacts at once other times it seems to take awhile.
Best option is to export your contacts to sdcard occasionally.

Well that's dumb. Does anyone have a solution?

I noticed this too. Not sure why this is happening. Maybe the GB build does not have the Google sync functionality working properly?

I suggested a solution, export contacts to sdcard.

That kind of defeats the purpose of an android phone then.. its made so everything is synced with google regardless of which device you are using
Hm, im not using a GB build, im using perfect storm weird

I was having this issue as well, and read about it somewhere on here.
Google.com/contacts is your friend. Use it.
If you input a contact, via the phone, make sure you change it from a "phone" contact to a "Google" contact.
Problem solved. ;-)

Ah thanks, for some reason if you add a contact from another app it would default to the "phone" contact option with no option to change to google.
Thanks

Is there a way to make the Google way default?

New GApps for gingerbread?

I've been using CM9 since the earlier alphas but I flashed back to 2.3.6 as I needed full camera and MMS. One thing I'm missing is the new Gmail, YouTube and other Google apps. Is there any way to get them on GB?

Auto complete of email address for exchange

I am running SGS2 with custom ROM AOKP 7.1 ICS 4.0.4. The exchange email app does not populate email addresses that i have recently used or used at least once. I need to be able to simply type in the first few letters of the persons name and then click on the address that pops up from my previous emails, similar to what outlook does on a PC. Hope that makes sense.
Any help on this is appreciated. This is getting frustrating having to type addresses from scratch. Thank you guys.

It works on mine that way, but I am running ShoStock2 v3.1.2. Are your Exchange contacts syncing? My contact list is synced with the Exchange server contacts and it pulls anyone who is in my contact list when I start typing in the To field. Not sure if it will use recently received or sent email addresses or just the ones in your contacts.

I have never had contacts sync with my exchange account. When running stock rom if I sent an email to anyone they always popped up later as soon as I typed a few letters. Now with custom rom it won't work.

You're comparing apples and oranges, before you were running a Samsung rom and now you aren't

I realize that but a custom rom should be smart enough to remember recently used email addresses. I am trying to find a solution bc I really like AOKP rom and don't want to flash something else.

Its not the rom that's the problem. Its the email client

If it is a different rom with a different email client you shouldn't expect it to work exactly the same

Is there a way for me to edit some code to enable this type of functionally?

You'd probably need to talk to the developers. Which would be google

Contact pictures

Too much of a xda n00b to post in the dev section, but my contact pictures are not showing up in either the people app or the messaging app. Usually the picture would be the contact's Facebook profile pic but nothing shows up. Not even for me on my contact card. There is an option to change the picture, but the only choices are from gallery or file browser. Yes I have the Facebook app & it is synced. Any help would be really appreciated

Doesn't that link with your contacts on your Gmail.

Search on the market for "Facebook contact sync" and look for contacts+ it works pretty good. It tries to take over a lot of functions but just pick your default each time and you never have to deal with it again

Thanks, I downloaded that from play store & synced it & it works pretty decent. Still doesn't display pictures in messaging app tho?...

Yes, sorry. The native messaging app

That's weird it worked for me. Are you on jmod or just liquid?

Just the liquid

O maybe it only worked for me cause I'm on JMOD. Keep trying other fb sync apps I guess. Or maybe that one won't do it by linking

I'll have to try that app because that is the one thing I hate about ICS on my TB is that it won't sync any of my FB pictures. It says that it is in the accounts list but it doesn't do anything

CM 10.1 no contacts

So I have just gone to CM 10.1 and I really like it other than the fact that it won't add my contacts. I have them synced with my Google account but they won't sync onto CM. And I can't get backup assistant plus so how do I get my contacts?

To verify, are your Google services set to auto sync? When does it say your contacts were last synced?
Thanks for the reply. About time someone at least said something. Anyway I had figured it out earlier today. Yes they were synced but for some reason my phone was only syncing 1 of my contacts with Google. It said the others were on my phone and not Google. I guess I just assumed they were all on Google by default. So I merged my phone contacts with Google and it worked
