is there a good way to back up email settings before flashing a new rom? thanks!
Wrong section for this. But your emails get saved to your gmail or whatever email ur using no need to back up cause when u set ur email back up u get all ur emails back. That simple

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 really like the stock samsung email app. The only thing keeping me from using cm7 is that. I know k9 mail but that seems to kill.my battery and isn't true "push" email.
What are my options. Would the email apk from unnamed work on cm7? I doubt it.

Probably should have posted in general. Sorry.

there is a stock email client (not gmail) in cm7.1, which works well with my exchange email. it can do imap/pop3 email as well.
Yeah I'm totally aware of the other email app but u cannot set it to push. Only check for mail in different intervals

push works, if you mean the same app - which is the one under cm7.1

"enhanced email" in the market is pretty nice esp if you like stock. its enhanced stock. does push.
Well I figured out how to push gmail with the stock email app.
Add new account
Type username an password
Click manual setup
Click exchange
Username will be /username. Leave the slash
Put m.Google.com instead of gmail.com
Viola. Perfect working push gmail with the stock app.

So are you using exchange? I have had this problem as well with the stock email app. I do not use exchange. I have 2 email accounts one of which is Gmail and another that is Road Runner that forwards to my Gmail account. The Gmail app receives push email perfectly but the stock email app waits for its assigned frequency to check for mail.
Will your way of setting up the account work for me?
Thanks!

I am using 5 gmail accounts on the stock email app using the method I posted above for push mail. Yes it should work, not sure how to do your RR email but if u have that forwarded to a gmail theN your all set

LOL, working like a champ! I was trying to copy your instructions and paste them to a thread I had started over in the captivate thread about this issue 6 + months ago to help anyone out that may stumble across it in a search. Needless to say I failed miserably!

I'm using go sms pro and have not found a workaround for syncing my contact pictures. Have tried syncmypix and Facebook contact sync. Neither have worked. I have sent messages to the developer as well. Anyone having any luck?

I just set peoples phots via google contacts. Everytime you get a new phone your images from google are imported. Gosms just pulls those images from your contacts. Root not required.

So hey I had a few new contacts. So I went into settings and synced those contacts. Then I turned sync off. I never have auto sync on because of the battery issues. But when I flash a ROM, and log back into my gmail. Those new contacts I recently synced aren't there

You guys are saving them to the phone or to the email address, when adding them it will show you where is been saved. Once in a while is good to synch to make sure is been saved
