Contacts sync ? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

I was hoping that this would be the case. However its been almost a week and still the same issue. I have my contacts I just like having the pictures synced.
It happened when I went back to Bionix after trying trigger. I may just reflash if I have time.
The built in feature on the contacts list never worked for me, I just used SyncMyPix from the market. Much better

Facebook profile and page

Has anyone found an app that let's you switch between posting on Facebook as your profile and as your page.
Here is my deal. I have my personal profile. Then I have a page also with the same account. On my computer I can switched while logged in between the 2. I am trying to post as my page from mobile but can't.
I have tried Facebook app, sesmic app and hootsuit. I can't get any to switch to my page.
I hope this made sense...lol

I was gonna state I never had this issue with FB, But, more and more, I'm with Google+.
Seesmic and Hootsuite also let you manage your fan pages as well as your personal profiles.

Stock messaging app in AOSP contact picture removal?

Been trying to figure this out. On ant's CM build. Always wanted to remove the image portion of the contact in the messaging app (stock). Has anyone been successful at this? Maybe I'm missing something simple?
Thanks in advance.

contact photos are managed in contacts not the messaging app. works fine between cm9 and aokp
I understand that thank you. But what I was trying to say is how to hide the photo next to the contact in the messaging app.

can't be done. all you can do is just remove them in contacts if you don't want them to show

Yeah but I don't think that's what he's after. He's wanting to remove that area from messaging entirely. So there's not even a blank picture there.
Exactly. ^

Contact help

I went back to 4.1.2 recently and while I was trying to do the google setup I noticed I forgot to flash the at&t modems so my wifi wasn't working, I went back to flash it and when I reboot my google setup had been complete only with no restore on anything, I think I lost all my contacts no apps, but maybe if I can restart google setup I can restore them?anyone know how without reflash?

I don't know if this is why, but it appears Google is having sync issues right now.

Can you see your contacts if you sign in to Google on a PC? You said you can't remove the account in Accounts & Sync? Why not? Does it give you some sort of error?

Good question, but at least you know they aren't lost. I would try to find out why you can't remove that account. If you could remove it, then add it back, they should sync. If all else fails, you could reflash.

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
