Today i wanted to add a new calendar to my already existing 2 on my lumia, but it seems that i cannot access m.google.com/sync to grant permissions for the 3rd calendar....i did it this way for the other ones but now in the page i access it says that sync is not available for my device....anybody else experience this?
Is there a way to add more calendars?
I had a similar problem because google would automatically set the language of the page to French. To be able to add calendars, I had to change the language to English. Hope this will help

How to sync more than one calendar
1) Make sure you have added your Gmail account. Settings>Email+Accounts
2) Make sure you have selected the Calendar to sync. Click on Google and tick "Calendar"
3) Go to m.google.com/sync/ using the Internet Explorer in mobile viewon WP, and WindowsPhone should appear. If it does not appear then change the language to English.
4) After clicking on WindowsPhone, you can choose which calendars to sync (upto 25).
5) You are done. To sync the calendars now, go back to Settings>Email+Accounts, longpress Google and select synchronize.
Hope this helped. If I helped you please press Thanks.

I'm I'm a new G2/Hero user, great forum here.
I really like the fact google contacts sync up with the phone & are phone independent, is there any way of making your normal contacts become google ones or an app to do it?
many thanks
If you set your phone up with a Google account then by default all your contacts will be synced with Google. Most mobile phones offer a facility to export the address book, often via MS Outlook which can then be further exported to Google and from there propagate to your phone.
I set it up with a google login first time I used it. The google contacts sync up fine but the rest of the contacts listed as 'phone' dont sync to google.
So what I was hoping is I can change the type from phone to google in the contacts listing then edit them on my computer & sync them back to the phone?
One other question does the google sync work both directions? Facebook images don't seem to appear in gmail?
Yes and yes. Make sure that the contacts are set as 'Google' and it should all work
Unfortunately after setting up some "Phone" contacts you cannot edit them and save as "Google" - or am I missing something?
And BTW, I'd like to ask people who are actually syncing their contacts and using Google Contacts as their primary source whether they suffer from the fact that Gmail adds all the email addresses that they had a conversation with as a new contact. Is that actually an issue?

that's exactly what I'm trying to do with no luck. New contacts I will set to google but I imported a load from my sim (150) which are all set to 'phone'
Another problem I had with the calendars, if you set them to only be google it doesn't change the new entry type from 'phone' so I put load of appointments in & couldn't see them which totally threw me. Luckily it does remember the type you set but it should change the default type when you set the view!
no, you cant change the contact type once it has been set. you'll need to delete them and create/import them as google contacts.
when in people and you press menu import, select google to import to the google list. that way they sync up automatically.
If you can't be bothered deleting all the ones in phone, just hide them...on the people list, press menu and select view, only tick google and voila, all the others are hidden.
to stop google from synching all the email addresses as well, go into people, go to the groups tab, press menu and select sync groups.
tick only 'My contacts'
problem solved.
thanks for the reply rhedgehog

I can only select "Sync all contacts" and a couple of groups I created - no option for "My contacts".
strange, i get it, and it should be there as it is a standard google contacts group....
There is an app on the market called ContactSync can help you with this. It's free.
tsekh501>> Worked like a charm, cheers mate
I wonder if anyone can help me. My contacts were stored as 14 on Google and 76 on 'phone'. I used the contactsync app and it said all contacts successfully synced to google. On my contacts list they all have 'Google' next to them.
The problem is, when i log into my google account on my pc I only have 14 contacts listed? Am i missing something here or is there something wrong?
PS - just to add, when i go to menu- settings - data sync - google - sync settings on my Hero, when i tick/untick contacts to try and force it to update i get a 'Sorry The process android.process.acore has stopped......Force close.
Bump! Anyone?
Getting the same problem... Running MCR 2.0...
Odd one this, and I only get the error message when I set the phone to sync my contacts.
Anyone wanna bid in on this one?
Bad idea?

Tried this advice, and even threw in a reboot after running the ContactSync app. Got the same error-message. Has anyone completed this successfully?
I've been having the same problems- first the change only showing on the hero- and now the random crashes?
I since backed up my contacts to sd with exportcontacts (free on the market) as .csv and then uploaded them to my gmail via my pc.
Strangely,when I did, both copies of the contacts showed up online and I had to manually delete the second copy of each. I know it was both copies as i'd sorted them all into groups after using contact sync and the groups showed only on one of each contact.
Slight feature missing with the new Modaco rom. Did anybody use the feature where you could sync only certain groups in your contacts? This feature was present in the old firmware but is now missing.
Before you could go to People > Groups > Menu > Sync groups and the select the groups you only wanted to sync. This is not present with the new version. Also I can't seperate Google contacts as well. Annoying change for those who sync their contacts with Google.

Similar experience. However, I experienced an additional difficulty when importing the .csv file to gmail. When it imported the fields was all messed up. I tried to edit it in excel, but didn't get it to work. Quite a hassle, this. Wish they could have streamlined it just a tad more
So far with the 2.1 roms I have tried to sync my contacts that are not part of google contacts without success.
There seems to be no way of getting the option to make a contact a google contact if it is not already so.
I tried the ap loaded kindly on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5879272&postcount=6763 - which call contactsync (as above post)
but it doesn't work - saying something about the database being wrong.
Is this something that the chef's can make available in their roms (a hidden menu - or a menu option that could be put into contacts/people app) ? I think it's something HTC just overlooked when they created the app.
Does anybody have any idea on how to make GMail the default contact save location? I had 3 options - PC Sync, SIM & Gmail, the default contact save location being PC sync.
Using Titanium Backup, I froze the "PC Sync 1.0.8" service. This removed PC Sync from the above 3 options. But I am Still left with the rest of the 2 options, the new default contact save location being SIM.
Tried freezing the "com.lge.simcontacts 1.0" service. But this doen't remove the SIM option from the contact save locations. It just disables adding new contacts to sim BUT THE OPTION STILL APPEARS AND REMAINS AS THE DEFAULT ONE.
Please help.
Why doesn't anybody answer? Is it because no one knows the answer or because I am the only ignorant person on board here?
I would also like to know how to do this!
Seems like we are the only two guys bothered by this problem.
I've had this trouble as well and not found any answer. You just need to make sure you select your Google account when adding new contacts.
no idea try to search the forum
Still waiting for the answer.

Being arrogant like that will NOT get you an answer, it will convince people to NOT give you answer because you are pissing them.
Sorry, my friend, but that is not arrogance but my frustration coming out.
You should be nicer... i dont know the answer but when i create a contact i choose pcsync and it goes to my google accaunt as well...

Do you mean to say that when you chose pc sync as the default contact save location, your new contacts are saved in your google account and on your phone simultaneously?

It should be! After i imported by hand my contacts (on .CSV format) to my gmail account they went to a place in google contacts called "My Contacts" -Note that at the time i was uploading the contacts list in CSV format i said to move it to the said "My Contacts" place!
Then i turned my phone's wifi on and it synched my Gmail contacts onto the phone! after that on "Display" i put PCSynch off , SIM Contacts off and on Gmail i put only show "My Contacts"!
Since my phone is showing my Gmail contacts, whenever i create a new contact (usually on PCSync i never bothered to change it :x) when i turn my gmail on or the android starts synching with google the contact apears on my google's "My contacts" list and therefore it pops back to the android contacts list!
Or so it worked for me! Some ppl say they didn't have that much trouble but hey... i had all my contacts on PCSynch and couldn't synch them to google before and now after all the hassle of importing them by hand... now i can!
Does not work for me. if I add a contact to pc sync, it still doesn't appear on the google contacts list. Have you installed any other application which helps you sync pc sync contacts with google?
Has anybody found out a way to do this yet?
The solution is still evading us. I hope that some developer sees this and provide a solution.
Your question is a a little confusing but I think this is what your after:
To set contact default to Google go into you contact list then press menu and choose view next uncheck the box that says "phone" and now your default is Google
Hi,
Recently a friend of mine bought a new android phone and I wanted to quick install some apps on his phone. I signed in to google account with my own account and the surprise was to see that my all phone number from agenda were sycnronized in his phone, but I never choose that google to backup or save my agenda phone numbers.
Where can I see what other informations google saved from my phone, and how can I delete my agenda phone numbers from my google account ?
Thanks.
You should disable the auto-synchronization with google into "account settings" on the phone and of course never manually sync it! Then if you delete all the names from the google account (in your pc) the changes will not pass to your phone.
I manage to disable auto syncronization. By default I've instaled a MIUI custom rom and was set on auto.
But how I access my name on pc google account, where to login and where I find them to delete ?
Thanks

Hi,
I synch, as usual, with my Google account, but no contacts in default application ?
( just favorites !??? )
But I tried Go Contact, and this one show correctly my contacts !?
Any idea why default contact app does not show them ?
Cheers.
Weird, I synced my google contacts and it worked just fine.
My favorites are in my favorites, and my normal contacts are all where they should be...are you sure it actually synced?
When you are in contacts, press Menu > Filter > Google (your google e-mail) and check/uncheck whats neccesary. Maybe you haven't check some groups?
Cool, simple as that, in fact no group are showed by default

Once you have set up your Google account(s), click on the account name(s) on the Google accounts screen in "Settings." This will bring up a window that gives you the option to Sync (or not) all aspects of your Google account (app data, browser, calender, contacts, drive, gmail, play books, play movies, play music, play newsstand, google+ and people details). If you want to sync, click the check box. Once you have that info clicked (or unclicked) you can run Sync by clicking on the 3 vertical dots in the bottom right hand corner in the Sync settings screen or one level up at the Google accounts screen. Good luck.

I'm not sure why contacts sync is missing under Google accounts on your phone. Like all users outside of China, I'm not running KK. Contact sync shows up on my Gmail account page (the types of sync are listed alphabetically and contacts, as you'd expect, shows up right under calendar). Maybe someone else has some ideas.
Yours is not a US version? I think the China versions does not come with Gapps. Only the playstore that can be sideloaded. I am from the original ham section and I flashed a China rom and that's what happened. There's no calender or contacts sync adapter installed.

They just need to install playstore and the rest of the gapps can be downloaded from there. But minus the contact sync.

my friend,
i've 2xMate2 4G - MT2-L01 and MT2-L05.
I had the same issue on both phones... to fix it is quiet simple.
if you are on the last version (b408 kitkat 4.4.2), just need to manually install one APK called "GoogleContactSyncAdapter.apk". (attached file)
if you are using any other version, download the lastest gapps package for your version, unzip, find this apk inside unziped folder/system/app, and direct run this APK.
after that, you will have the CONTACTS SYNC option enabled again.
Thanks a lot, I tried with your app and didnt work, but I tried to search on google "Googlecontactsyncadaptet.apk" and worked perfect!
Really gratefull, it was a serius isseu of this phone
My friend owns a Huawei P8 (China) which identifies itself as shown in the attached screenshot.
To enable Google contacts and calendar synchronization I downloaded the CM12. 0 GApps package for Android 5.0 and extracted the 2 sync adapter APKs.
The installation of the calendar sync adapter worked smoothly and now the Google account also offers syncing of the calendar.
However the contacts sync adapter from the very same GApps package refuses installation on the phone. The installation starts and then terminates after some time with the message "application not installed". There is no further information why the installation fails.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
Stefan

This solved my problem on Cyanogenmod 13. Thank a lot.
This happened maybe because I flashed pico Gapps, which doesn't include this file.
I did following steps:
1) Extract GoogleContactSyncAdapter.apk from stock gapps.
2) Install GoogleContactSyncAdapter.apk on phone.
3) Goto Settings - Apps - Google contacts sync
4) Give it contacts permission.
5) Go to Accounts -> Google account and delete the account.
6) Go to contacts app
7) Add a contact it will ask you where to save, select Google account and login your Google account.
All your contacts will appear now.
yes this is how it works on a HUAWEI P8 MAX MARSHMALLOW for the no option for contact
yes this is how it works on a HUAWEI P8 MAX MARSHMALLOW for the no option for contact sync in google account. FANTASTIC
