I tried syncing my phone contacts with my gmail account but I get a 'sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly'.
Anybody know what the problem is. Calendar and Docs synced fine. It's just contacts it has problem with.
Can anybody help or have any advice?
I had that issue on my x10 and I did this to fix it,
Delete data in the gmail app and delete if you have it the data in gmail storage. You will find those under all apps in settings.
Then let the phone resync itself.

Okay so I went into settings -> applications -> manage applications. I scrolled through the list of applications on my device and GMAIL is not one of the apps listed.

Am I the only one having problems with Gmail sync? Is there and app or update to fix that problem?

I had similar problems. Just clear the application cache from the applications> manage applications menu in settings. You will need to change the filter to see the gmail app first however. This can be done by hitting menu inside manage applications, that part took forever to find out for me the first time .

I couldnt enter to gmail web site, couldnt connect to gtalk, android market didnt work on 3G. I searched the web and found a solution that worked on me. Change the name and apn name of your mobile network APN settings. Dont touch other settings. Just name and apn name. Then restart your phone. Now you should be able to connect to gtalk etc...
I am having this same problem as rustyruss after flashing Bionix Fusion. I couldn't find any reference to it in their forum. I tried deleting the gmail app cache and storage cache (both), but it did not resolve the issue. Has anyone found anything to fix this yet? It's incredibly irritating.

this had to go to Q&A, but anyways, just install them on sim card and they will sync everytime you reflash the phone or do something else or use titanium backup or any other 3rd party application.
I have all my contacts stored in my gmailaccount and let it sync after I put a new ROM on my phone.
Before I went to the trouble of storing all my contacts in my gmailaccount, I used the backup to .vcf function in Go Contacts app.

I do same as ldeleeuw, just synch it with your google account
Regards
Awesome guys.
How do I do that?!
And will my calendar be synced as well?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Yes it will!!
I will recommnend Google sync.. it also helped me many times when I am running out of battery.
Also editing is also powerful in Gmail acct.
Another tool I found was, fjsoft's mobile phone explorer. It will give you many options to customize backup. Google fjsoft and dload. "Mobile Phone Explorer" is free.

On my PC, I imported a vcf-file into my gmailaccount, which I created with GO Contacts. It's is a single vcf-file with mutiple contacts, so importing it is very easy.
To sync it with your phone, you'll need to setup syncronisation somewhere in settings
What about going into settings and pressing the sync button to sync with my gmail account ?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
sounds like you are already synced, have to checked your contacts page in gmail on a pc?
also you can got Phone book - menu - more - Backup contacts - memory card
I would go for MyBackup as i dont sync often.

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer and I think it is the best back up way. You can sync,archive,export, import your contacts, messages and calendar.
It can save your contacts with pictures. See this page:

just use old backuprestore.apk.....it is working like charm...see my post..

If you ask in ROM thread then you might get some more answers.
Try fixing permissions from ROM manager.

are you running the ICS google+ or google music? That has a known issue with FC's when modifying or creating contacts

Posted this over in the thread for ya.
Also saw this response from gtg to a previous posters question which may or may not pertain to your issue...
gtg465x said:
Nothing in the update has anything to do with the contacts app though. And I updated to v1.0.3 using the update zip just like you did and no problems with my contacts app. Did you freeze or remove some apps with Titanium Backup? That can do it if you remove the wrong thing. There are a lot of things that can do it. Check your recently installed apps as well.

Turns out it is Facebook. I do not sync my contacts however if I delete my Facebook account from accounts and sync I can save a new contact. Then of course I can't log back into Facebook without it trying to sync contact again!

I have two different gmail accounts. One of them (not my main one) syncs contacts fine by the main account doesn't sync them at all. I keep getting an error, and have had the error since I bought the phone. Anyone know whats up?
Also, I can add any team I want to google now except the Lakers. Everytime I add them, they show up in the list of teams, then I close the page, come back to it, and the team is gone. Anyone know why?
Thanks!
Couldn't say I've experienced this. As far as the Google account that won't sync, have you changed the password and forget to update it on ur phone?
As far as Google now, try clearing cache and date. Start from scratch and see if that helps. Sorry I don't have any solution that would just solve ur problems. Best thing till someone comes out with a sure solution is trouble shoot. Let us know what happens!

Also, do u use facebook and sync ur contacts? I've heard that can be causing issues. I recommend first removing facebook, the export ur contacts to external storage, going into it apps and clearing data under contact storage then importing all ur contacts. I highly recommend removing facebook before anything else. If its not facebook but u have other applications that sync contacts, uncheck contact sync and proceed with clearing contact storage, then import contacts and resync. Try that out and let us know

Ok. Then skip those steps about other apps that sync and try the export and clearing data.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid of doing this because I have contacts in my phone that are new that aren't synced yet. Will this get rid of them?
That's why u export ur contacts first
Go into ur contact list and tap menu. Then export, when it asks u where, send it to sd card/external memory. Unsync ur Google accounts from contacts so it doesn't effect it and then clear it. You'll have a back up on ur other Google account and have a vcf file in ur device storage

i just did that and its still not syncing the contacts. Similarly, its not syncing the internet.

Hello,
How to FULLY delete (only from Mobile) those 1000s of email contacts which were synced earlier in my S2 (JB 4.1.2 Neatrom) from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
I have totally disabled automatic 'Sync' on all accounts added, and I only need to manually sync for new emails only. I can manage to 'display' contacts with a number only, but when I run a 'search' it brings up all email contacts again ffrom the db.
I simply don't want any email contacts but phone contacts in my phone.
Tried couple of tools which helped purge duplicates, but not email contacts itself.

Is it a option to delete your account and add them again but only select "Sync Email"?
Clear data for your contacts app and the contacts storage from Application Manager.

Anything that is stored on your phones contact database will go, and Sim contacts which are stored on the sim card you will have to manually clean. Anything and everything else should go.

Couldn't you just backup whatever you need using some app and restore back into a cleaned database, I have done it before myself.

Yes I could, but you should really consider this 'whatever I need take a backup and restore only what I need', because excluding 3000+ email contacts from the required 500 contacts in a mixed contacts pool is HARD JOB...I had'nt find any tool to isolate them, all threads recommend 'SELECT' only what u need and export....do you find it easy to select one after one among the junk/needed contacts...NOooooooooo :cyclops:
Anyway I fixed it :good:
