Contacts...Not Syncing? - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went on deployment for about 3 months and had my phone in airplane mode for the entire time...once i returned to the states, it seems as if all of my contacts have gotten messed up. Numbers I had are no longer in my contacts, Facebook won't sync contact pictures, numbers, etc. Number I have aren't showing up as the persons name...i.e. 123-657-3828 should show up Mr. Mister but instead it shows up as the number...Anyone have any idea what's going on and how to rectify?

Maybe try removing your Google account from accounts and sync and then add it again and sync up.

Oh god, don't use facebook sync, its horrible at this point. Rely on google and all your problems will be solved.

I recently did a factory reset on my phone and ran into this problem after the phone froze and restarted. I knew the contacts were on my SIM card as I moved them there in case my backup failed. If all your contacts are on your SIM, try taking the card out, put it back in, then start up the phone again. I've had to do it twice since my reset. Hope that helps.

Gmail Sync Problems

Hi,
I'm having problems syncing my contacts from my phone to my Gmail account. Basically, they're syncing the wrong way!
If I put a new number in my phone then sync to Gmail the number is deleted as it isn't already in my Gmail contacts list.
Surely this is the wrong way around? Surely it should add the new number to my Gmail account? After all, the phone is the logical place to create new contacts.
So, what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
If it matters I'm running Vodafone branded firmware: Baseband 1.2.28, Build R2BA024.
Thanks.

could it be you're editing your contacts on gmail as well? then again.. it couldn't be because it's 2 different contacts right?
how bout, if you create an account in google contacts? does it get synced with your fone and show up there?
Yeah if I add a contact to Gmail it syncs to my phone fine. Just not the other way around.
*confused*

i also have a question to this case. obviously (and i think this is also the reason why this thread was opened) gmail sync only syncs the contacts from your gmail-account to the phone...actually it would be more valuable if i could transfer the contacts from my phone to my gmail-account, as it would also be a kind of backup if something happens to my device.
it is also a thing of daily routine, if i receive a new number or mailadress, i do save it in my phone. because of the only sync-direction gmail->phone, i have to sit in front of my pc in the evening and add the new contact details to my gmail-account...? wouldn't it be easier if i could start a transfer from my phone TO gmail?!?!

My thoughts exactly! Far more logical that way around.
The weird thing is, it used to work that way for me. Now it doesn't. As far as I'm aware I haven't changed any settings on either my phone or my gmail account. Very strange!
Tried clearing the cache btw and that hasn't solved the problem.

so you already did that with your X10? you transferred the contacts of your phone to gmail?
of course it would be perfect, if i could chose which side should synchronize with the other...
e.g. if i need to reset my phone, then i'd love to get my contacts back from gmail!
hope, that somebody can help us here!

Yeah. As far as I'm aware it used to sync in both directions. When I first got my phone I ran a manual sync and all my contacts appeared on my phone. Then if I added one to my phone, or changed one, and ran another sync it would update my gmail contacts with the new/changed one.
Now it doesn't. Strange!
The only thing I can think it would be is that I changed the last part of my address from googlemail.com to gmail.com.
I wonder if that might have something to do with it?

hey dont worry for that part as it syncs all contacts in a very clever way, for eg i had flashed my phone several times and didnt kept backup of my contacts(apart from one on gmail) and when i was done with flashing i just use to sync them again with gmail and voila..ph got updated according to copy of gmail contacts...so it doesnt deleates the contacts on gmail...

hm, so it should normally align both states maybe? is the sync-function really checking the contacts of the phone and those in gmail an adds only the contacts on that side, where they are missing?
well, i have tried the sync once and it deleted all the new contacts on my phone! there was only a transfer of my gmail-contacts to my X10...phone book was ignored and even overwritten!
any hints what sunjin an i do wrong?

It used to sync both ways for me but now it doesn't. This is very, VERY annoying as I frequently add new contacts to my phone but I now have to remember to go add them to Gmail too or they get deleted next time I sync. Illogical if you ask me.
Can anyone with a different phone/version of Android confirm if this happens to you also?

[Q] Weird problem - contacts keep multiplying

Dad had a weird problem with his Samsung Galaxy - all the contacts duplicated numerous times so that sometimes there were 15-20 of each and it didn't matter if they were stored on the Sim card or in the phone.
Carphone Warehouse told him it was faulty and caused by water damage even though it had never got wet and everything else works fine, so he bought a HTC Sensation XL put the sim card in and then the exact same thing happened, so he sent that phone back and got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which he's had a week, and guess what? it's happened again
All the contacts have been deleted off the sim card so its blank and Dad only entered 6 or 7 contact details into the phone, then today all of a sudden there are multiple copies of some of the contacts - any ideas what the cause is or for a cure? Dad is on Orange pay monthly and has already had a replacement sim card in case the first was faulty.
Cheers
Perhaps it could be synced Google Contacts?
Or any other kind of contact syncs?
Any kind of backup (Titanium Backup, MyBackup, etc?) that would restore the numbers?
Did he/you install any apps before this happening? Any contact/phone/sms/dialer apps perhaps?
No he hasn't synced with Google Contacts apart from when its forced on the Nexus, but he has no contacts to sync anyway as he dosen't use a computer, his only contacts are what he's manually entered. He hasn't downloaded any apps at all, and uses the phone as it come out the box - he only has it cause he likes the big touchscreen and he can see it ok, he dosen't use any features apart from calls, texts, email and the camera.
Hmm, sounds very weird indeed.
You said you tried both getting a replacement SIM card and a brand new phone, but not at the same time?
I would suggest doing a factory reset and a SIM card wipe (or even a replacement if easily possible) at the same time, and then try and enter 1 NEW phonenumber (not one that's been in the phone/SIM card before) and leave it for the amount of time that it took before it began multiplying the numbers before, to see if it does it again.
If it doesn't, try and enter some of the old numbers into the phone, and so on.
If it does multiply, then I don't know what's wrong.

Contacts you manually enter are automatically set to sync with Google contacts. What I think is happening is you keep resetting the phone and he enters in the contacts before all the Google contacts from the previous times are being restored therefore all the multiples are being synced together. So let the phone sit after a restore. The multiples should show up after a little bit. Go through and delete the duplicates and see if they come back.

Cheers I think you may have solved the problem
I logged into Dads google account online and found his contacts and there were 529 with loads of duplicates (40 or 50 of some), so I deleted the lot, turned off autobackup to google and sync on his phone and did a factory reset - he now has no contacts on the sim card, in the phone or stored with google so hopefully when he re-enters them they won't duplicate, I'll give it a few days then see what happens if I let it back-up and sync, but I've a feeling its sorted it.

[Q] Cannot copy SIM contacts to phone or sync with Gmaiol

Hi all -
My mom just inherited an AT&T Samsung Galaxy II (rooted, OS ICS 4.0.3, Build IML74K.117) and I am trying to move her contact from her SIM to her phone or, even better sync with her Gmail account.
From the Contacts app, I'm opening the menu and selecting SIM Management, then choosing Copy Contacts From SIM and selecting the option of the Gmail account (I've also tried selecting the Phone option as well). Instead of going to the screen where I can choose the contacts to copy, the phone just goes back to the SIM Management screen. (I took a screenshot of it but it's been 8 minutes and the text is still in Send mode on her phone.)
Any ideas on what is preventing me from being able to move the contacts? My next move is to take it back to stock and see if that doesn't help but that's really a last resort and something I'm trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance!
Lauren
Can you see the contacts when you log into her Gmail account on a computer?

Hi, thanks for responding...
No, because she is coming from a stone-age phone and has never had anything linked to her Gmail account before, which is also new. So in this case, I'm attempting to transfer the SIM contacts to her phone/Gmail account in order to A) get them on the phone in a more unified manner and B) sync with Gmail so that she now has an online backup of her contacts. She's coming from a Motorola Razr circa 2005. For real.
I couldn't say for sure, but the problem could be that the format in which the Razr stored the contacts is not being read by the SGS2 which is kicking you back out of the menu.
This is probably an old thread but no Gmail sync along with cannot send mms, indicate that you probably have no internet access.
Make sure you do have first, either wifi or mobil data turn on

Nope, the format is universal and can be read by pretty much any phone.

[Q] Updated 4.3, loosing contact pic in text messages

I just updated my HTC One to 4.3 today, things seem to work fine except that when I get a new text message, the contact picture for that user or sometimes all users of current texts disappears for a while than magically comes back. If I go into contacts, the person's picture is always there. Also, it is not consistent, sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Anyone else experience this after the update/any solutions? I did notice that during the update it said updatinig contact database.

Same is happening to me. It's not really a problem for me, I just close the app from the recent apps list and open it again and it's back to normal. Annoying but I can deal.
I'm having this same issue and it seems it's affecting all HTC One's running 4.3, not just T-Mobile. Any thoughts as to possible causes of this problem? I hope HTC becomes aware of it so they can fix it.
This is weird. It's happening to my friend too. I don't have this problem though. I told my friend to clear data on s few apps like contacts, people, dialer, phone and messages. She said it was good for a day but today is back to the same problem. I wonder why some people have this problem and some don't.
Are you guys having problems with all contacts or just some? Maybe it's happening to the contacts that aren't backed up with google?

It's happening randomly on pretty much all contacts (and all my contacts are Google contacts). The only unique thing I have is that my contact photos are synced to my phone using HaxSync. For those of you also with this issue, do you use HaxSync?
I can't figure out what could be the cause of the issue. I contacted HTC and they just told me to clear the cache.
Others have been experiencing the problem here as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/319268-sms-contact-picture-4-3-a.html
Some even performed a factory reset and the issue was still present so clearing the cache wouldn't be a fix.
For me, it does not matter if the picture is from my gallery (google pic) or sync'd to Facebook. It gives the same result. I have tried turning off Facebook sync but it does not make a difference. Given a little time, the picture always returns or I can go into open apps and "close messaging" and when I reopen all pictures are there.
After doing some research, I went into recovery mode and cleared system cache after a couple places suggested this after an update. Unfortunately, this made no difference. I was going to try a factory reset and let all my contacts resync, etc but don't want to do all that work if it is not a sure solution. This all worked just fine for me prior to the update. Hopefully, this will get the attention of HTC. Also, I have read in the last couple days that HTC is preparing another update that is hitting other countries first to move all HTC One's to Sense 5.5. It looks like as big a file as this past update so maybe a fix may be there?
I have it too. HTC screwed up here. They'll have to address this in a next update. Lets all email HTC and let them know

OK, so I've been Tweeting with @TmobileHelp and I advised that the contact pictures were from sync sources, they say that the pictures we have associated with the contact should be on the devices and this problem should go away. Though it makes sense, at the same time it doesn't make any sense to me.
If we have contact sync's and the phone lets you replicate that kind of data from whats stored on other servers, why should I have a local copy of the pics for it to work?... can anyone help me confirm the local pics thing?
Thanks!

What do you use to sync your pictures? I use HaxSync. Not sure if everyone having issues is also using that or not. But either way, syncing photos is much more convenient than having to store individual photos for everyone on the device and it worked fine prior to the update so we shouldn't have to lose that ability. What's odd is how the photos are sometimes there and sometimes not. Maybe it has something to do with the linked accounts on those contacts? All of my contacts with photos have a Google contact and a HaxSync account linked together.

That's only for 4.1. 4.2 and above don't need it. I just tweaked something and my contacts photos seem to working so far. Not sure if it'll last but some of you may want to try it out.
In my contacts app, click up top left in the "Phonebook" dropdown. Unselect HaxSync and just leave Google checked. All of my contacts that are already linked are still showing their photos, and the issue in the messaging apps seems to be fixed (at least for the past 25 minutes).
Let me know if this helps anyone else.
My hypothesis is that those of us having issues with the blank contact photos in the messaging app have multiple items checked in the Phonebook dropdown.
EDIT: Nevermind.... the issue is back. I can't figure it out. It's gotta be a bug that needs to be patched.
Megabiteg: I have a few contacts that do not use Facebook so their pictures I take from things in my photo gallery. I have replaced them multiple times and it makes no difference. I think that was just the quick and easy "answer" from Tmo support.
Jpzsports: I tried your idea and only have Google checked in contacts app and I still have the issue. I am anxious to hear if this continues to work for you!
I have even gone so far to look at other apps that have permission to look at/modify contact information and disabling them or have them not interface with contacts and it has no effect.

That's interesting to hear that the issue still occurs even with photos from the gallery. That removes the idea that it's purely a synced photos problem.
And sadly my idea failed to work so it looks like this is definitely a bug that needs to be patched.

Thanks a lot for the follow up. I agree, I know that Tmo-support was pulling a fast one, initially they actually suggested me to pull the battery of the phone out and replace... (lol)
I think that this issue is connected to a contacts database corruption, I've always notice the the contact phone sync (regardless of the source) its kind of flaky, it must of gotten worse while upgrading. Funny because I chose to delete all the txt msg I had prior to upgrading (because I read this thread before hand) hoping this would minimize my chance of getting the issue but no.... it didn't work.
I'm going to keep on trying to figure out what else can I do to make this better until Tmo and HTC decides to fix it.
I hope that these posts don't seem unnecessary but I want to post what I have tried so others don't feel the need. I was playing with the contacts app and suddenly under phonebooks available (upper left corner pulldown) the sim card showed up, where it had not prior and the three contacts listed where the 3 contacts Tmo uses for you to check minutes, balance, whatever ( I never use these) I know I did not put anything to the sim so I deleted these and unchecked sim....no difference. I now have gone back and added sim to phonebooks (tho empty) to see if any difference.
Megabiteg: I agree with you saying about a change in the contacts database and I specifically remember during the update a message saying something to the effect of "updating/reformating contacts database".
Just another text, no change, it appears it does not matter what phonebooks are/are not used; the problem still exists. I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion that this is something HTC will have to remedy.
Did I just post that I would try not to post as much? LOL My experience got me to wonder if maybe the system was going out and checking the sim phonebook first (I would guess most people do not use it) and not finding an image and then after some lag going to contacts? So: I shut the phone down, took out the sim, powered up and went into contacts app and sms app (everything there), powered down and replaced the sim and rebooted.
Well, absolutely no difference. I am all out of ideas other than waiting for a patch...damn.
Is it just me or does the missing photo seem to affect the most recent person you text? (top of the messaging app)
I have a theory that it is related to the Link Contact service. It doesnt seem to effect contacts who have photos on every linked account.

Help with Saving Contacts?...

Does anyone else have a problem using the G3 and saving contacts? I have a Bumbped Verizon G3, and my Girlfriend has the T-Mobile G3, but BOTH of us are unable to SAVE new contacts. I have ben usuing/Flashing android since the OG Droid and have never had a problem with my google account, but it just strikes me odd as we've never had problems until we've been using the G Series phones.
Does anybody else have this problem? Any Ideas?
I'm Running Skydragon Also. I like to stay as close to stock as possible.
Are you checking to see if the number is being saved to the phone or your google account.

the google.
when I first add a contact it'll bring up which account i'd like to save it to and I make sure its my gmail, then I go to my actual gmail in my settings and sync everything about a good ten thousand times, and once I flash a new rom it's all gone again.

I would suggest you make sure you have all the contacts you want on your device, then log in on google contacts from your PC and erase everything and re-sync your phone. I had to do this before my contacts would stick or stop duplicating themselves when I first got this phone.
I always save the contacts to the sd card. And restore from the sd card.
