I previously had a droid razr maxx that had no problems integrating my full contact list with uconnect. For some reason the note 2 doesnt transfer my entire contact list. I tried removing and re-adding and rebuilt my entire gmail contact list. There really isnt a rhyme or reason for what contacts it skips, they dont belong to a specific group or phonebook.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts.

One of the contacts that does sync is "my name" but I cant find that contact anywhere. I have all contacts displayed. It is syncing contacts from google, facebook, touchdown and google+. These same contacts were syncing droid razr maxx.

This is a subject that really has bothered me for a long time. WHY DO I HAVE DUPLICATES!
I'm not yelling at anyone, but damn I'm frustrated. And on top of having duplicates and even triples. Now for some damn odd reason half my contacts won't even dial out because at some point the system decided to take my contacts at random and add +1-315- in front of the number..
There was a point in Touchwiz i could just delete all and restore from sd and they would be neat again. But that day has past. I have been contemplating wagging a war on my now 400+ contact list, but have that small doubt that this fascinate will go down without a fight. I have tried to search for reason within the twisted realm of google, and the deepest directories of my phone. I was going to call google themselves and ask why their Android sucked so bad in the contact department, but i used (google voice search) and said "call google".... And just when the phone went to dial the little troll inside it added a +1 in front of the number, so the call never even rang through.
All this hopeless nonsense dealing with a part of the phone that should be so straight forward brings forth the 1 big question
Where is John Connor.

I had that problem one time. I just deleted everything and only use google now to sync contacts... dont use verizon back up assistant or anything else.
I too has this problem it was resolved when I only used my Google account for contacts. At one point I had two personal accounts and my work contacts, it is fustrating but it forced me to use one email for contacts. If not you will have multiple contacts piping up for months.

Can anyone tell me where on the phone contacts reside so i can hit them With a chuck Norris bomb

Go to your email syc settings and check only the account you want to syc with. This should clear your duplicate contact issue.

Contacts, menu, more, display accounts, un check the ones you don't want displayed
"the relentless pursuit of the perfect rom"
If you have miui you can merge contacts with the miui contacts app... if not there are market apps that will do that job.

Ok. So i have a true fix for my problem..
I use ex dialer so just using the option in contacts to not show syncs did not work.
What i did.
1 airplane mode
2 export contacts to sd
3titanium backup wipe data for system contacts
4 menu> sync settings> turn off auto sync
5 reboot recovery
6 wipe all cache
7 reboot
8 open contacts
9 tap menu> display options> google.
10 long hold "all other contacts" and remove sync group
11 menu> sync settings> turn on auto sync
12 toggle off airplane mode if is still on
13 should be success
Seems google mirrored my contacts to 2 different sync groups. This gave me hell. Glad i dug into the problem and hope it helps others.

have been trying all day today to write my contacts to the phone, but it seems that this becomes impossible once one makes the mistake of adding a google, hotmail or any other account to the phone...
am I write in thinking that if I want to write my contacts to the phone I will not be able to check my google and hotmail email accounts on the phone?
it really sucks, my desire S did not have this bug
and system update not possible without Motorola ID/account whatever it wants...
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's wrong with keeping your contacts on your Google account?

hi, this is a bit off topic, but I can explain:
I would like to keep my contacts (and info related to them) on devices owned by me.
I DO NOT like how I am "pushed" to use google (or any other account) for keeping my contacts on.
I like to have a choice, at the moment I choose off-line storage on my PC and my phone.
Can it be done like in good old days?
You can just put the contacts on your phone under your Google account and just turn off the sync for the contacts. It will still be on a Google account but it will offline. That's the only option I can think of.

+, you can then delete those contacts from your Google account afterwards if you don't want to store them online after getting them onto the phone.

thank you guys - that seems to be a solution.
Just to make sure I understand correctly:
1. link my phone to my gmail
2. go to settings->accounts->gmail and untick sync contacts, sync email, sync calendar
is this correct?
will it work?
I am factory resetting my phone for a third time already so apologies for asking SO many questions, but I want to make it write this time
Yeah just sign into your account and it will ask you what you want to sync. Just keep anything unchecked for what you don't want to sync.

download via market motorola pim sync ( there is mac and pc version), then download motocast for windows www.mymotocast.com/download
Then you will be able to sync your contacts via outlook.

Probably a repost, but I didn't see it here. Anyone have the email app connected to Google apps working? Mine keeps saying cannot connect to server. I don't want to just use gmail app because its for my work email and I want to use the peak/off peak settings so I don't get notified of every work email while sitting at my work computer.

If you mean a using a gmail account in the stock email app yes i do because the stock email app allows you to embed images and no other client or app does. I have no issues with this account in stock email app.

I have the exact same issue as the OP and there are a couple of threads (somewhere?) with no resolution.
Before everyone chimes in with "My Gmail works fine" the problem is with google apps accounts. That is a google email account with your own domain that you most likely pay for or use with business accounts.
It is a really frustrating bug. You put in the correct credentials and setup works fine but upon returning to the mail screen the app just says 'Cannot connect to ACCOUNT"
One possible workaround is to use the mail app from the galaxy note or similar devices as described in a thread in the themes/apps section but you loose the peak/offpeak settings.
If anyone has any more info please chime in!

Right now I'm using IMAP and it works....but the whole point of exchange active sync was to utilize the peak and off peak settings while I'm at my desk so I don't get duplicate emails and it saves battery as well.

This has become a slight problem for me since getting the LG bluetooth headset.
When using the speak function (like "dial John Doe"), for some reason the dialer is misunderstanding me and gaining access to my facebook contacts' phone numbers and dialing some random person.
Under people app, I do not have facebook contacts added to my phonebook. Really confused on how it is gaining access to facebook contact's numbers...
Any suggestions?
If you go into the facebook app, under settings, under contacts sync, what do you have checked off? Make sure "all" isn't checked.
I had it set to sync existing. Though it seems it is still adding all the contacts to my phone under the facebook label. I thought sync existing only added those that I already had in my gmail. It seems its all or nothing....?

I'm gaving an issue with my [email protected] Galaxy Note not being able to sync my contacts to Google, or Gmail, or to the Samsung account. I get an error message that states "Unfortunately the process com.sec.android.scloudsync has stopped". I've reset the phone to factory settings, reset the scloudsync app, called AT&T, called Samsung, tried to contact Google. Neither were able to resolve the issue. I get the above mentioned error message on all my android devices which include a LG Optimus G Pro, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy Note.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Will

In the settings menu under accounts do you have a Google account setup and working?
In that account's settings are the "contacts" and "gmail" boxes checked to enable?
Can you open the gmail app and check mail?
Also using a computer check what the gmail account security level is set at. I set my security level high once and had a pain syncing before.
I have done everything but check security level on gmail acct. on computer. I will give thst a try and see if that works. I did actually sync my Optimus G Pro and it worked, then tried syncing contacts on S3 and they appeared, but still get error message when trying to sync my Galaxy Note. I don't know if not having an active sim card in phone would prevent me fron syncing contacts or not.
Thanks for the info!
