Hello,
I am seeking for some help. It is my understanding that after updating the G Watch to 5.1 it should load the contacts when swiping left from the apps menu. However, in my watch all I get is an empty contacts screen that says "No contacts found, Add contacts to contacts app on phone".
My contacts apps has plenty of contacts. I've tried resetting the app and resyncing contacts but that doesn't help.
Any help would be greatly appreceiated.
Do you have favorite contacts (i.e. Starred contacts)?
Are they saved on Google, or just your phone? It might not display contacts if they aren't saved on Google...

I'm I'm a new G2/Hero user, great forum here.
I really like the fact google contacts sync up with the phone & are phone independent, is there any way of making your normal contacts become google ones or an app to do it?
many thanks
If you set your phone up with a Google account then by default all your contacts will be synced with Google. Most mobile phones offer a facility to export the address book, often via MS Outlook which can then be further exported to Google and from there propagate to your phone.
I set it up with a google login first time I used it. The google contacts sync up fine but the rest of the contacts listed as 'phone' dont sync to google.
So what I was hoping is I can change the type from phone to google in the contacts listing then edit them on my computer & sync them back to the phone?
One other question does the google sync work both directions? Facebook images don't seem to appear in gmail?
Yes and yes. Make sure that the contacts are set as 'Google' and it should all work
Unfortunately after setting up some "Phone" contacts you cannot edit them and save as "Google" - or am I missing something?
And BTW, I'd like to ask people who are actually syncing their contacts and using Google Contacts as their primary source whether they suffer from the fact that Gmail adds all the email addresses that they had a conversation with as a new contact. Is that actually an issue?

that's exactly what I'm trying to do with no luck. New contacts I will set to google but I imported a load from my sim (150) which are all set to 'phone'
Another problem I had with the calendars, if you set them to only be google it doesn't change the new entry type from 'phone' so I put load of appointments in & couldn't see them which totally threw me. Luckily it does remember the type you set but it should change the default type when you set the view!
no, you cant change the contact type once it has been set. you'll need to delete them and create/import them as google contacts.
when in people and you press menu import, select google to import to the google list. that way they sync up automatically.
If you can't be bothered deleting all the ones in phone, just hide them...on the people list, press menu and select view, only tick google and voila, all the others are hidden.
to stop google from synching all the email addresses as well, go into people, go to the groups tab, press menu and select sync groups.
tick only 'My contacts'
problem solved.
thanks for the reply rhedgehog

I can only select "Sync all contacts" and a couple of groups I created - no option for "My contacts".
strange, i get it, and it should be there as it is a standard google contacts group....
There is an app on the market called ContactSync can help you with this. It's free.
tsekh501>> Worked like a charm, cheers mate
I wonder if anyone can help me. My contacts were stored as 14 on Google and 76 on 'phone'. I used the contactsync app and it said all contacts successfully synced to google. On my contacts list they all have 'Google' next to them.
The problem is, when i log into my google account on my pc I only have 14 contacts listed? Am i missing something here or is there something wrong?
PS - just to add, when i go to menu- settings - data sync - google - sync settings on my Hero, when i tick/untick contacts to try and force it to update i get a 'Sorry The process android.process.acore has stopped......Force close.
Bump! Anyone?
Getting the same problem... Running MCR 2.0...
Odd one this, and I only get the error message when I set the phone to sync my contacts.
Anyone wanna bid in on this one?
Bad idea?

Tried this advice, and even threw in a reboot after running the ContactSync app. Got the same error-message. Has anyone completed this successfully?
I've been having the same problems- first the change only showing on the hero- and now the random crashes?
I since backed up my contacts to sd with exportcontacts (free on the market) as .csv and then uploaded them to my gmail via my pc.
Strangely,when I did, both copies of the contacts showed up online and I had to manually delete the second copy of each. I know it was both copies as i'd sorted them all into groups after using contact sync and the groups showed only on one of each contact.
Slight feature missing with the new Modaco rom. Did anybody use the feature where you could sync only certain groups in your contacts? This feature was present in the old firmware but is now missing.
Before you could go to People > Groups > Menu > Sync groups and the select the groups you only wanted to sync. This is not present with the new version. Also I can't seperate Google contacts as well. Annoying change for those who sync their contacts with Google.

Similar experience. However, I experienced an additional difficulty when importing the .csv file to gmail. When it imported the fields was all messed up. I tried to edit it in excel, but didn't get it to work. Quite a hassle, this. Wish they could have streamlined it just a tad more
So far with the 2.1 roms I have tried to sync my contacts that are not part of google contacts without success.
There seems to be no way of getting the option to make a contact a google contact if it is not already so.
I tried the ap loaded kindly on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5879272&postcount=6763 - which call contactsync (as above post)
but it doesn't work - saying something about the database being wrong.
Is this something that the chef's can make available in their roms (a hidden menu - or a menu option that could be put into contacts/people app) ? I think it's something HTC just overlooked when they created the app.
Does anybody have any idea on how to make GMail the default contact save location? I had 3 options - PC Sync, SIM & Gmail, the default contact save location being PC sync.
Using Titanium Backup, I froze the "PC Sync 1.0.8" service. This removed PC Sync from the above 3 options. But I am Still left with the rest of the 2 options, the new default contact save location being SIM.
Tried freezing the "com.lge.simcontacts 1.0" service. But this doen't remove the SIM option from the contact save locations. It just disables adding new contacts to sim BUT THE OPTION STILL APPEARS AND REMAINS AS THE DEFAULT ONE.
Please help.
Why doesn't anybody answer? Is it because no one knows the answer or because I am the only ignorant person on board here?
I would also like to know how to do this!
Seems like we are the only two guys bothered by this problem.
I've had this trouble as well and not found any answer. You just need to make sure you select your Google account when adding new contacts.
no idea try to search the forum
Still waiting for the answer.

Being arrogant like that will NOT get you an answer, it will convince people to NOT give you answer because you are pissing them.
Sorry, my friend, but that is not arrogance but my frustration coming out.
You should be nicer... i dont know the answer but when i create a contact i choose pcsync and it goes to my google accaunt as well...

Do you mean to say that when you chose pc sync as the default contact save location, your new contacts are saved in your google account and on your phone simultaneously?

It should be! After i imported by hand my contacts (on .CSV format) to my gmail account they went to a place in google contacts called "My Contacts" -Note that at the time i was uploading the contacts list in CSV format i said to move it to the said "My Contacts" place!
Then i turned my phone's wifi on and it synched my Gmail contacts onto the phone! after that on "Display" i put PCSynch off , SIM Contacts off and on Gmail i put only show "My Contacts"!
Since my phone is showing my Gmail contacts, whenever i create a new contact (usually on PCSync i never bothered to change it :x) when i turn my gmail on or the android starts synching with google the contact apears on my google's "My contacts" list and therefore it pops back to the android contacts list!
Or so it worked for me! Some ppl say they didn't have that much trouble but hey... i had all my contacts on PCSynch and couldn't synch them to google before and now after all the hassle of importing them by hand... now i can!
Does not work for me. if I add a contact to pc sync, it still doesn't appear on the google contacts list. Have you installed any other application which helps you sync pc sync contacts with google?
Has anybody found out a way to do this yet?
The solution is still evading us. I hope that some developer sees this and provide a solution.
Your question is a a little confusing but I think this is what your after:
To set contact default to Google go into you contact list then press menu and choose view next uncheck the box that says "phone" and now your default is Google
i have a problem and that is i when first i buy the phone i add accounts like fb numbuzz whatsup so contacts was separated and i can chose whats to display
after i beaning stupid to try CM10 nightlies i backup my contacts to import them after a while i go back to stock image and restore contacts from android exported file but now i have all the contacts at the same list ( and thats a stupid android coz it didn't restore each contact to its group ) and i discovered that's why my s3 android give me android process cached and stooped so i originally have 260 contacts but now i have 2800 contacts right now im using an option called only view contacts with phone numbers and its okay but how i delete the other contacts ?
is there an app can export only visible contacts ? or contacts with phone numbers ? or delete contacts without phone numbers ?
i really want just the contacts with phone number and delete the others
help please i Google this for 3 hours and nothing useful

Instead of using a import/restore app for your contacts, you could always sync it to your google acct and it will automatically restore once you sign in during initial google setup...

I have similar problem where all my contacts have been duplicated and then there are contacts with no phone no.'s. Isnt there a way to group the accounts or delete duplications?
-Phone > contacts > visible contacts > Show all
-Export all your contacts to a .csv file. (on the sd card)
-Delete all contacts: phone, sim, Google and others (tango, Whatsapp etc.)
-Log in to your Google account and import your contacts from that csv file you created. I suggest doing this on a pc.
Now, in Google, you can manage your contacts by editing, merging or marking all and deleting duplicates (if there're any)
Your phone will automatically sync all your refined Google contacts and of course Tango, Whatsapp, Viber etc. will get that contact list and everything will be synced and perfectly set up.
Then it's up to you what contacts you want to have in the contact list and whether you only want to show "phone numbers only"
Saving contacts on phone or sim card is a bit old school
I'd like to recommend, like y2quila suggested, using Google for contacts because it's reliable and painless. It's also a great time saver, especially when changing phones or in case you lose your phone or sim card. All you have to do is logging in to your Google account and voila

If your contacts are already on Google then log in to your account and mange them by marking all and deleting duplicates. If they're not on Google I suggest doing so by exporting them to a file on sd card or pc and then importing them in Google and doing as suggested.

this's what i did
i view all contacts together and then upload them to google account then locate contacts.google.com and there i edit them so i start search in my contacts for example i seach ( @yahoo ) and delete all ( @hotmail ) and delete all etc etc then for facebook contacts i hade to chose them one by one you can see them names without numbers i also select them manualy
but after all i have a problem with whatsup messenger when installing i get error about android.acore.proccess crached and after a too many retries i get it installed and even so after installed i get every 15 sec the error message so i think ur problem is def than mine so i hope u get help
and another thing managing the contacts from contacts.google.com is easier becuase when ur done deleteing non numbers accounts select them all and from option menu click on find duplicates and then remove them or search google play store for duplicate remover
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=duplicate+contacts&c=apps

I have a weird problem, I did a search and finally decided to open a thread here because nothing could help me out of this trouble. My father owns a Galaxy Core mobile and he is really new to android OS. He was trying to save a contact which he received through message from some one else and while saving that contact he played with some options (I guess Gmail Sync) and now many of old contacts have gone missing. I checked the "Contact to display" is set to all and still those contacts are missing. I rooted the phone and tried to recover the contacts through few recovery applications but no help there too. Today I came across to Gmail sync last date & time and that's exactly the same date & time when my father was trying to save that contact. Right now I am getting an error at the bottom of that screen "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly." Can someone please help me because my father has lost more than 100 contacts and really needs them back. Thanks in advance

You could check to see if they're still in the Google account by google.com/contacts. If so, you can export them as a vcf file and import into the contacts app. This might double up some, but easier to remove duplicates than to track down every missing contact.

Please help guys, I am really struggling to get those contacts back.
Hi,
recently I upgrade my LG G5 from Marshmallow to Nougat. After this, I have major problem with contacts. After migrating, some contacts was missing. I have backup from MyBackup Pro, so I restored it. After this I sometimes get error that a lot of contacts was deleted, what to do. After clicking whatever option, popup still exist, only reboot helps with removing it. No biggie, but yesterday a lot of contacts disapeared! They are still present on google contacts, but not on my phone. Also, on google contacts I don't have some contacts I added lately, even before migrating. So, what do you recommend to resolve this issue? Most recent update I have is from MyBackup Pro, so my first idea is to delete all contacts from phone and Google Contacts and then restore them from MyBackup Pro.
Oh, also I had issue in sync options. Little "!" next to the spining wheel and info that there was issue with syncing, please try again later (no details). So there is a chance that after deleting all, I will have problems with sync to google contacts (or it will fix it).
Thanks for any help,
Mark
Edit: I think I got it I checked contacts on google contacts, almost everything was there. Only two important was missing, so I add them manualy. Next, I export csv from google contacts (and I'm glad I did it). Next, I disabled sync on phone and remove all contacts. I was hoping that when I enable sync, it will donwload contacts from google contacts. But it did opposite, delete all contacts also from google contacts, lol. At this point my all contacts was missing. So good thing I had this backup! I imported it, removed "imported group" and sync again. Now all my contacts are on phone, no issue with syncing and no error popup
