Anybody got issues with contacts not syncing? Is it a T-Mobile issue?
Do you have Emoji's in your contacts Name fields? That would be the #1 cause. Remove them and it will sync.
Thanks for the help. One more question why is there a limit to deleting contacts on the Google account? Showed a warning but doesn't seem to be a problem now.

No idea, deleting them is faster on contacts.google.com

Every time I access my contacts and try to view any contact I receive a force close for Contacts Storage app (process com.motorola.contacts). Is there any way to fix this problem?
I have tried a couple of ROMS to "fix" the force close, but nothing seems to help. I would be happy to provide any additional information that may be needed.
fixed the problem!
I unfroze Corporate Sync Authenticator.
I too am having trouble with this except my Corporate Sync Authenticator isn't frozen or uninstalled.

Make sure the Yahoo Authenticators are not frozen either, that is what caused mine to FC.
Thanks a ton, guys; this one just bit me, too. Stupid "Yahoo Mail Authenticator" ...
If you are getting this kind of problem in Samsung mobiles, just enable "Calendar Storage".:fingers-crossed:
i had to clear the data from "contacts" and "contacts data" to clear an error that kept popping up after i flashed the latest task aokp rom, coming from a previous 4.1 version of the rom.

-Did you try deleting your Google account in accounts from your phone and then add it back? That might work. Since you checked online and your contacts are still on Google, it sounds like a sync-focused problem and not an account issue. Is your Google Calendar syncing? Also are other accounts syncing?
I once installed a rom (not Tasks) and the contacts did not show up until I reloaded gmail and sent myself an email. (I don't normally use Gmail, but did for that issue!)
Sorry, I don't have more recommendations!
Good Luck!

good job! However, I would be concerned that they may not sync or stay updated. . . You might still have a sync issue.
Does your calendar sync? Also gmail on the phone stays sync'd with the desktop /web versions? That's the issue!

unfortunately, this is actually my gf's phone and she doesnt use google services so the only thing she has with google are her contacts. so as of right now, shes not pissed that she didnt lose her contacts so im ok for now. lol
ok i got a weird issue happening
i have 568 contacts synced through google/gmail
the contacts are not staying synced i have saved contacts numerous times for people i talk to on a daily basis....the same number numerous times even.
but other contacts that i don't use have stayed synced with no problems
i have actually saves the same contact under different names many times and still have them not sync.
i have checked all of my sync settings and have them syncing correctly
i have the following sync systems setup
verizon backup assistant
exchange (through work)
facebook
3 google accounts (oddly the internet portion for one account does not sync )
htc
instigram
twitter
and yahoo

This point here kind of confuses me. Have you checked/enabled "internet" syncing for this account? i assume you know where you could selectively turn off and on syncing different items for an account. how did you conclude that internet does not sync for one account?
Syncing is been the basics of smartphones and i don't expect this to be a bug somewhere.
If you have got the time, i would suggest a system reset.
Just for clarification, are you saving numbers and it is not syncing back to your Google account? I had this problem when I first got this phone since I am used to AOSP Roms. I noticed that I did not change my "Contact Type" to my Google account when saving new contacts. The default saves to your phone if you do not select another account. I am not sure if this is the issue you are experiencing. Good luck.

Yes that's right in the area where you can selectively choose what to sync the only thing that's ever an error is the internet for one account that says" sync is experiencing troubles please try again later "
I'll try a reset tonight and see what happens ....

When you say your contact type do you mean yours or the contact tyour saving?
I'll have to dig through the settings a bit more.

When you create a new contact it has a box that says "Contact Type". If you do not change it to Google, it will default to be saved on your phone only. That is all I can think of if you are saving a contact and it is not syncing. Unless it is a syncing problem throughout your phone.

In address book you can also chose to only display Google contacts or any combination of all your sources.

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 5.5.3, my contacts keeps merging wrongly.
All my contacts are stored on the gmail account.
The phone keeps merging contacts with different phones and different names.
Even after separating the contacts manually, they sometime return to be merged, with a different contact.
Anyone heard of this bug or know how to fix it?
Had the same problem on my Galaxy Fame, running on Android 4.1.2
Any solutions?

Export your correct list of contacts, then delete all your contacts from gmail and phone. make a manual sync of your account, possibly it will tell you that are to manny contacts deleted. log on your account from pc to check if there is no contacts! after that you can import the list exported earlier! or add them one by one in gmail , from a pc. after your can make a sync to see if will not mess up!
You can try first to download Contacts sync fix from playstore , maybe it will fix the problem!
Hello all,
My contacts imported from .vcf file are getting deleted periodically, is it a ROM's bug or the app's faulty?
Any fixes?
Can it be solved installing a third-party contacts app?
Thanks in advance.
(Using Havoc 2.1/Rooted)
Sounds like its a sync issue with google contacts. Sync it properly with your account.

Not Google, I'm importing them in the phone storage and they're getting deleted periodically.

There is no "phone storage" on Android. You have to save it to a google account.

Sure there is.
Those imported contacts get stored on internal storage.
Try restoring your contacts from .vcf file to a ROM without gapps, it doesn't need google account or even a network connection for that matter.
Anyways thanks for the help.
yes I am having same exact issue. havoc no gapps, and when you tell it to for example save contacts to phome storage or sim or account I said phone only.
but then after days or however long it just deletes them all?
ayyye. also calls are getting dropped periodically after 1st or second ring with full signal.
did you have microg installed?
