[Q] google contacts - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologise if this has been covered but no matter how i search I can not find the solution I'm looking for.
I am using ICS on my SGS2 and want my Facebook contacts to merge with my Google contacts so I get the contact Pics and if the FB contact has phone numbers ect in it, I would like that to be coped to my Google contacts.
Any help would be great
Thanks

Thx for following up on your own question. I have been looking for a solution for the same problem for weeks. Just havent searched in the right forums.

The latest LPB rom has fixed the Facebook sync, you don't need anything from the market now.

I wish I could test it for you, but since I have a Google Apps Account I am unable to use the Google+ Android App.

Yeah,I'm having this problem as well. Using CM 7 (nightly, based on android 2.3.5).
What I do is
1. if the "unknown" contact doesn't exist in my contacts, I just put a name on it.
2. if the "unknown" contact exists in my contact with a name (and other details), I just Merge them.
That way I won't have to see that "Unknown" label on my phonebook.
But still waiting for a solution..
still happening...
I just saw the same thing happen on my phone running 4.3. Whenever I used the online contacts manager to move Google+ contacts into Gmail contacts, those same contacts would show up on my phone as 'unknown'. My solution was to use the online manager to change each contact's name (listed under "My Contacts") to something else first, and then changing it back. The 'unknown' contact on my phone will then be updated with the name.

The guy is only trying to help. :\
Easiest method would probably be syncing it into your google cal using that link and sync google cal into the stock calendar app...

You cant, sync to google and use google's calendar service.
After searching for a while - found this app
After searching for a while (including this forum) I've just found an app called:
"ICS 2 Calendar"
Unlike many "fat" apps, this one does nothing but addind the ICS to your calendar.

[Q] Cookies and Cream Facebook Issue

This is the absolute best ROM for the Note.
I hate to even bring up any of my problems, but my phone is not letting me sync my contacts with my facebook contacts.
Maybe I'm just dumb... however, I really need help! Can anyone give me step by step instructions to resolve this issue?

[Q] Contact Sync and Google Now

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

I'm not using facebook or any other apps that sync contacts.
The google now thing worked perfectly! Thanks.

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.

Some users are complaining about that. I think, this problem will be solved in a couple of days

I can't see the big differences from the old app.
Can you send photos and videos out files with it like whatsapp? I haven't found a way to do it.
Furthermore I can't add a photo to my chat profile without having to add it to Google +.
And my contacts that I have pictures of in my contact book are shown without pictures in the chat since they haven't got a picture on Google+.
So far I am a little bit disappointed with these issues and whatsapp will unfortunately still be a more preferable way for me to send messages for a while longer.

Use Titanium Backup or similar software to remove Talk-app (remember to backup) and then install Hangouts from Google Play. Worked for me!
1)Delete talk with titanium backup
2) Restart device
3) Install hangouts from google play
This only worked for me I hope it help you:good:
