Hi,
When i try to sync with google contacts the contacts in the gmail account are loaded into phone.
But the contacts in my mobile are not showing up in gmail...
Can anyone help me out?
I have problems when i try to sync contacts form phone book with gmail account i receive next msg: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" i mention sync of calendar and gmail it's working fine. I use facebook sync with existing accounts too.
I have searched and searched for this answer and I cannot find one that will work. I am new to android and this is causing me issues!!
I setup my google account and do not want my google contacts syncing. Other threads I have found say go into setting and uncheck syc contacts box and it will no longer sync. but I dont have a box to uncheck? Is there a way to just sync gmail mail and not the contacts? If there is please please please tell me how.
settings - accounts and settings - select the google account - THEN you will see checkboxes
mine does not give me that option. the only options it gives me is touch contacts to sync now. there are no boxes even visible to check or uncheck
It is in phone settings (or Settings app), not gmail settings.
Thats what I am saying, I go into settings, accounts and sync, choose my gmail account. it gives me the following options
sync books
sync contacts
sync gmail
sync calendar
below each of them it says touch to sync now. There are no boxes, i dont see where it give me the options to change the settings for any of them

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
settings button on bottom next to home screen- accounts and sync- uncheck auto sync.
You will see your account under manage accounts.
So then why don't you just click 'sync gmail'?
im trying to get it to stop syncing contacts. Its like its set up by default and I cannot get it to quit syncing the contacts

You have Auto-sync turned off. That's why you don't see the check boxes because you are not automatically sync anything.
Go back to account and sync screen and check the box 'Auto-sync'. Now you will see check boxes on all the items under your Gmail account.
ugh!!! your a genius!! Thank you, Im sorry for the ingorance. Coming from an Iphone, this is all very new to me.

Good searching and reading, isn't it.

Just purchased a Streak running Android 2.3.3. I set up my gmail account on phone and everything looked ok. Mail and calendar appear to sync fine but only a few contacts synced. When I open Settings/Accts & Sync, the gmail account shows and sync is turned on.But if I open Contacts/menu/Accounts, gmail does not appear and if I try to add an account, gmail is not present as an option. How do I get the google contacts to sync?
If I remember right you have to go into your Google Contacts on a web browser and move all your contacts into your My Contacts area.
problem solved
I discovered the problem. I had used Root Uninstaller to freeze the Google Sync application at the time I was trying to reduce the apps I didn't think I would need. Now everything in sync. Thanks
Hi There, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get contacts from my google account into my phone.
From what I have read on the internet I should be able to go into Contacts>Menu>Accounts and sync my gmail. But google isn't an option apart from facebook and hotmail. When I go to 'add account' its not there either.
I am able to log into market using the google account so I don't see why its not showing up.
Thanks in advance for any replys
I had a problem with setting up my Google a/c when I first got my phone, factory reset fixed it.
Try to remove an account through the pc - to activate again
Im sorry how could I do that?
Has anyone else had a problem with their Google contacts syncing to their phone. I get the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly message". I can download contacts from Google but it will not upload the new contacts i put into my phone from just regular day to day usage... I have backed up all my contacts on both sides then deleted all the contacts off my phone and my google account. I have wiped the data on the people app, contacts storage app, and the google account sync... I have deleted the groups and favorites... but still when i try to sync up it still give me the sync error... Has anyone else had this problem? Oh im running the Viper DNA rom btw.
