Hi,
First of all, JUST RECEIVED MY SIII
I'm messing around with it, and I can only say it's a BEAST!!
But the first little problame I cam across is the syncing of my contacts. I have a list in gmail of my phone contacts (so I don't have to have ALL my gmail contacts) but I can't find in android 4 how I can only select this list ... can someone help me?
Thanks!
Sam
I can't believe this is not possible ...
I think it depends on the dialer/contacts/people app combo. I know I could select which groups of contacts was shown in ICS on my HTC Desire (menu/accounts in the contact list), but I don't have the option on the contacts/people app currently in use in the BlackStar rom.
Hi
I am looking for some application which can sync the phonebook contacts to facebook contacts. I know there are a lot of applications available to do the job but the problem is they are not persistant. once I format/Flash new rom... every things goes away and I have to start from scratch.
In Nokia N900 there was an app called Hermes which once installed and mapped used the website field in the contacts to lookup for the image. All I had to do was to login and start the sync. I liked that feature as a lot of contact in my phonebook have diferent names than their facebook account so smart name matching isnt that smart in my case.
But In present case in android I am not sure where the mapping to the contacts is saved so it is lost all the time with a new rom flash
Any suggestion will be helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Haxsync. You have to re-add it as an account when you flash a rom and sync it but it really isn't a big deal and it has been the most accurate for me.

Yep, another vote for Haxsync here. I don't pay for many apps, but it's cheap, and I don't regret it!
i tried it and the problem is i cannot find manual mapping of the contacts and facebook friends... is there a way ??

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

Hello
Please can someone tell me why my Facebook App no longer syncs with my stock contacts app on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini with Android 4.4.2. The app used to sync. How, I find that there's no possiblity of syncing Facebook contacts at all. Also, I find that various other apps such as Twitter no longer sync with my contacts.
Have tried replacing the current Facebook from Google play with older versions of the app with no luck.
Any advise would be appreciated. thanks.
Facebook changed their APIs. https://syncme.helpshift.com/a/sync-me-contact-sync/?s=known-issues&f=new-facebook-api-changes

Thanks for this so that explains my problem. Do you think using an old version of Facebook would mean synching could work?
I'm assuming it's the APIs of their website, not the app, so not likely it would matter which version they are using. I was reading about this the other day and another app said that if your contacts approve of the app reading their info, the sync works, but they have to approve, it can't do it automatically. I don't use FB so haven't cared enough to investigate more.
Hi guys!
I recently bought the mi pad 4 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I downloaded the Google play store installer from xiaomi's webpage and so I got the play store up and running.
However the calendar and contacts app by Google don't seem to connect to my Google account. Contacts stays empty (only showing the few contacts that use telegram) and the calendar app shows a placeholder account, look at the attached image.
I would really like to also use those two apps on my tablet and would love if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance¡
Best wishes

i was facing the same problem, here was how i solved it:
Give all permission, or at lease the permission to modify your contact, to Google Account Manager, Google contact sync and the Google contact app.
Allow these app to started by other apps, in the startup settings.
Also I tried to install google contact sync version 9 but it doesn't work, i downgrade to 8 and contact appear in the google sync option.
As for the calendar issue, try login within the calendar app.
Try to install Google Calendar and Phone apps and they will ask for activating the calendar and contact sync. Of course you need to say "yes".
The above method works for me.
didn't get the prompt to grant certain permissions for those apps, but finally I've managed. Alot of permissions had to be granted manually to both contacts and calendar app and google services.
thanks for the help, guys!
work for me

thanks for thats trick. thats work for me. :good:
I was able to make Calendar work using this method but I can't fix Contacts using this method. I wonder if I use xiaomi.eu ROM, will it fix contacts and calendar problems?
