My contacts do sync from google.contacts.com to my phone, when i add/update/change them there.
But if i update a contact on my phone. (i.e. someone sends me a text saying they changed their number and i update it)
it doesn't sync back to the online google contacts. I realized this after checking google voice and seeing a few numbers that had no name
or contact info.. they were the ones i had updated on my phone, and not online. ... all my contacts are 'gmail' contacts, i don't have any 'phone contacts' .. i also double checked that.
I have forced sync of all google syncs, i have deleted data and cache in gmail.
I'm not sure what else i could do that will fix it. does anyone have any ideas?

Can anyone help me solve this problem?
I exported all my old contacts to a CSV. I then updated my Hero's ROM and started fresh. To get my contacts back I just imported them into my google contacts and synced the phone.
It appeared to sync fine, all the contacts came up - but NONE of them have any phone numbers, birthdays, other information that is all clearly there when I view the contacts in gmail.
Birthdays etc I can deal without, but no phone numbers is a BIG problem as I have over 400 contacts and I'm not interested in typing them all back into the phone. Why isn't google contacts sync working correctly?
Has anyone else had this problem?
Though I haven't had a problem with syncing Gmail contacts to my Hero, I would like to know this just in case it happens.
I had trouble synching the contacts I had uploaded to the gmail web site on my wife's phone. we go them to synch correctly by forcing a new synch event.
go Home and press Menu
Select Settings, the "Data Synchronization" form the list that comes up
Select Google from the next list
Under the section "Application sync settings" remove the checkmark next to Contacts
Wait a few seconds then put the checkmark back. This fiorced a synch and pulled up the gmail contacts that were loaded on the web page.
I hope this helps!

Hello, i have a problem with my contacts!!!
After i flashed checkrom (i did a full wipe, and made sure all my date on my internal sdcard was wiped) everything went perfectly and i was very happy!
But after sending a message, i noticed something strange!! When i go to messages, it doesnt show the contact that is synced with my google account with picture and full name, but shows the contact that is stored on my sim without picture and without the full name (because sim has max ammount of characters in a name)
Does anyone know how to get my google contacts back?
I only show my google contacts in 'contacts' and that works fine
here are 2 screenshots:

ps: i also have no idea why it shows anny jans' google account and the rest sim
just to be clear: I am syncing with both facebook and google. And the problem is not in contacts, but in messages.
I had the EXACT same problem. I ended up deleting all contacts from my SIM card, since with Android, you can sync your contacts to your Google account. That way, the only place the Messaging app can pull contact info is from your Google account.
Just make sure you sync your contacts to your Google account FIRST, before deleting all contacts from your SIM card.
This is only an issue if you plan on going from an Android phone to a non-Android phone, but at worst, you have to manually re-enter all your contact info into your new phone. It will always exist in "the cloud" with your Google account.
i think i fixed it, i first deleted all my sim contacts, than i deleted my facebook account (so all those contacts are gone, they dont need to be on my sim) and then i moved all mmy google contacts back to sim contacts!!
now they are on my sim and i see the correct names, lets hope it stays
Hi all..
So I had a Google account register with my old msn email, but I decided to delete this Google account and register for a new one with Gmail, thinking that my contacts are preserved on my phone, but I switched off Sync function just in case. Somehow though, my contacts got removed from Contacts app. but they are still on the phone cause if I run the dialer app and punch in the first few numbers of any phone number that I remember, the app offers contacts suggestions, and I find the name and number of the contact I'm trying to call.
How can I get these contacts back and store them again on Contacts app?

I'd try another Contacts app like Go or exDialer and see if they show up there. If so, you should be able to export them via Vcard and then go back to the main Contact app and import it. If that doesn't work, it might be helpful to list which phone you have and on what update it's on in case there is something more specific to that phone/update that might need to be done.
First up: I do not want to sync my contacts with Google.
For an unknown reason my mobile keeps synchronizing my personal address book with Google. Even worse: Somehow I get a lot of crap contacts, even empty or just with an email. Most of my contacts are 2-3 times in my address book and I have no idea where to look for the problem.
I changed /Settings/Accounts/Google Account #1 & #2/ > untick "Contacts", when I first set up my system (SlimROM 9.0).
Usually I sync my address book manually using MyPhoneExplorer. I have Xposed/Xprivacy installed to block many apps from reading my contacts. Hangouts is installed but since its a Google app I presume, that it accepts my setting to not sync contacts plus I didn't find any settings in the app.
I checked Gmail-Accounts online and unticked the "Automatically add contacts to address book when answering an email", after I first saw that something went wrong. All my contacts where online but only in one account. I deleted all contacts from Gmail online and from my phone, checked all settings again and copied over my contacts with MyPhoneExplorer.
After a while all crap contacs where back and synced with Gmail online.
What should I do to prevend this from happening, ignoring the fact that now it wouldn't REALLY matter anymore since Google got what I didn't want them to get: Personal information about my friends and colleagues who didn't agree to that?
Hello,
I had my contacts synced and all was dandy. I had some favorites in the widget too.
Now all of a sudden my contacts widget is empty and the only contacts I have on my watch are emails with no phone numbers or names. Sort of like my unwanted contacts list from google or something....
How did this happen and how can I fix this to bring my actual contacts back?
It seems like Gear S pulled in ALL my gmail contacts that I have ever received an email from. You can imagine this is alot... Not ones in my contact list, but anyone who I received an email from. Not sure what made the Gear S sync with my gmail contacts because I don't even have them listed as contacts in my phone or saved anywhere... even google contacts won't show them unless I type it in (which pulls it from gmail I guess)
