My gfs evo 4g is currently crashing every app on bootup.. everything force closes.
Her contacts are not backed up. We cannot force a sync or get to the people option.
Is there anything we can do to pull her contacts? I am geeky so I can do almost anything..

They Should be Backed up to Gmail, Try logging into Gmail from a Desktop and you Most Likely will be able to Retrieve them...
Good Luck!

Is it rooted?
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
What did you guys do to make it start force closing?
Maybe cellbrite at a repair center?

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
Just noticed that if I go into any or my contacts that have been synced to Facebook will force close if i open them. I tried removing my Facebook account and cleared the data of the contacts app but still get a force close.
I'd really like to not have to reset to try and fix it. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I can't even open the display options in the contacts menu.

My cousin was having the same problem on the Droid X yesterday. He did everything you could think of and contacts kept closing. In the end he unlinked facebook completely (from accounts) and the contacts app was fine. If you already tried that then i suggest probably uninstall facebook to see if it still happens.
also if you have any system apps frozen i would suggest you unfreeze them, this will cause contacts to crash too, depending on which one of course.

I set up 5 months worth of events and it just wont sync to mmy phone. I've tried manually syncing as well. I also tried 3 third party calendar apps which wont sync either.

More details might help. What rom are you running, have you done anything special to it, what steps you've taken to try and fix it, is this your first android phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Stock rom, just rooted. Ive tried syncing manually, clearing the calendar data, trying to fix it via google calendar website, tried a few calendar applications. Not sure what to do now.
Its my second phone, Inspire was my first
Does everything else sync?
From your response it sounds like you have looked this up already. So with that in mind maybe it's more of a small detail.
Are the calender events you're saving being saved to your Google calender or your local calender?

Well I dont really sync anything honestly. This is pretty much the first time I've tried to sync with this phone. The event is being saved onto my Google Calender.
Edit:
When I go into Settings>Accounts and Sync>My Gmail, it only shows Contacts, Gmail, and Picasa. No calendar here.
Wow. That's a first for me. How did you root your phone?

So when you access your calendar none of the events show up?
And you have tried opening the menu once you access the calendar going to settings->Calendar Sync-> selecting gmail syncing that way?
I know that with my calendar, contacts, etc. it took a long time before the information updated. I would say about 10-15 minutes and I did not create 5 months events more like major holidays and 250 or so facebook related events.
I would suggest giving it more time or rebooting the phone and trying the whole thing all over again.

that was for the Nexus 1 but maybe it'll work for you. Add a 2nd gmail account and see if that calendar sync option reappears.

If it were my phone I'd flash stock to see if that fixes it. Seems like the software is messed up. I can't think of any reason Calender wouldn't show up under sync.

Well I didnt flash any ROM, i just rooted so I can get a few rooted apps. Im new to this, but that means im still on the stock ROM right?
Correct, you're still on stock then. I really like entropy512's method, as it flashes stock (can help fix most system problems if you're running a stock rom) and it's rooted.
I'm not promising you wont lose what apps you've installed, but I've had a few times I've done it now and all my apps stayed installed. Pretty quick process all in all.

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.

Hi guys,
Contacts do not sync with Gmail. I always get ""Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
At the beginning sync is working, but as soon as I change something in the contacts data on my phone, sync stops working and i have the above message. I tried to stop/clear data in Contacts and Contacts storage, and really, sync magically works again, BUT i loose all changes i did in contacts on a phone and i get initial unchanged contacts from Gmail.
Any ideas?
Anyone?
