Android Central Question
I have a personal Domain account, and android contacts can't sync with it. all other apps (gmail, calendar) sync well, but contacts said: "can't confirm syncing, may be not all contact will showing in all devices". I try to turn off & on the contacts sync by google account settings, and all other simple solutions, but nothing works. can someone help?

This has been a bit frustrating.
When you go through set-up, it gives you the option of adding a Google account which is necessary for using Market. But it also syncs your e-mail into the Gmail app and syncs your contacts. I don't want either of those because my Exchange has both contacts and I want to use the HTC mail widget for my Gmail.
I have tried various ways to prevent this from happening, but all have failed.
1. I went through set-up connecting to wifi and adding my Gmail. Then I went to options and removed syncing. But my e-mail and contacts are still in the Gmail app.
2. I did not connect to wifi so that I can first go to options and removing syncing, but that didn't help.
3. I created another generic gmail account just so I can use it for market. However, now that account is connected to my GTalk app instead of my normal account.
So here is my goal:
Use my everyday Gmail with GoogleTalk app, but without it syncing my Gmail contacts or my e-mail with the Gmail app.
Is there any way to do this? Am I missing something? Can you go to the syncing options without actually setuping the Google account first?
Thanks for the help.
Also, while we are on the topic:
What is the main difference between the two? I keep reading online that the Gmail app is supposed to be Push e-mail, but I have also read just as many posts saying it doesn't work or it doesn't do that.
I figured out a solution:
1. Go through set-up and connect to Wi-Fi, but do not set-up a Google account. Skip it.
2. Go to Settings>Syncing>Checking Auto-Sync and Sync in Background
3. Settings>Add Account>Google Account
And here is where you need some fast fingers...
4. Settings>Check Sync in Background and Auto-Sync and quickly click on Google Account you just set-up and uncheck Sync Contacts, Calendars, and E-mail.
I was able to uncheck e-mail sync, but it had synced some of my contacts already. That wasn't a problem b/c I haven't set up my Outlook account so I just deleted all the Google contacts it had synced. But I was fast enough where I didn't let it sync Gmail account.
Now no e-mails in Gmail app and I can use Google Talk.
I have just got my SII and am trying to connect to both of my Google accounts - my Gmail account is the one I use for trash & Market, my Google Apps account is the one I need for email, contacts & calendar.
It syncs the Gmail account fine, connects to the Google Apps account fine but only shows Calendar & Contacts for sync, the email account is missing. I was using a Nexus One fine with both accounts but the SII just won't see the G_Apps email.
Anyone got any ideas ?
Handset from O2 UK, locked I assume.

O___o
That is a bit of a bummer. I use at least 2 Google Apps accounts... Though I'm pretty sure that this sort of functionality comes from the Google stuff, rather than Samsung...
Did you add them both in the same way?

prolly your are forgetting a checkbox... are you syncing both accounts?
in gmail app, under accounts do you see both accounts?
I have both a GMail account and a Google Apps account - both are syncing fine here, showing sync options for calendar, contacts and mail for both accounts.
So must be something specific to your setup - definitely not a SGS2 or Google limitation
Can't work out why this happened, it is working now so it may have been a setting or anything, I deleted the G_Apps account & added it again & it all worked.
Thanks
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
Even though I created my Google account from the phone, I only see the option to sync Books, Contact and Gmail from Accounts and Sync. Even if I go into the calendar's settings it throws me back to the same selections - with no way to sync the calendar. Sure enough, none of the items on the web version of the calendar show up on the phone.
You might want to recreating your Google account. I sync calendars just fine and all I did was add my account to the phone.
That worked, deleted my account and re-added it, now the calendar shows up as an option to sync. And everything shows up on the calendar.
I have the phone running Android 2.3.4 (rooted).
I have two Google accounts setup on my phone. I use both of them as there are apps purchased from both accounts.
I would like to sync contacts from my phone to BOTH the accounts. As of now, contacts are being synced to just one Google Account. In the "Accounts and Sync", I see both the Google Accounts listed, with the "Sync Contacts" option enabled for both accounts.
Is it possible to sync contacts to both GOOGLE accounts from the phone? If yes, how?
Any help is appreciated.
Shameless bump... any help please?
So you want to have
Contact X to be on both Google Account A and on Google Account B at the same time? and have it appear two times on your phone?
I want contact X to be shown in both google accounts, A & B. However, I will prefer no duplication in the phone.

I'm also interested in this. In Options/Filter you can choose which accounts will display contacts, so you can avoid seeing duplicated contacts. Basically I'm interested in keeping the contacts in my personal Google account (which is the one synced with Outlook, to which I add new contacts) synced with my school Google apps account and ideally my Live account, for when I have to use the webmail interface of either one of those two. An option that pours (one-way sync) the contacts from one account to the other is also ok, as I don't expect to have anything synced from my school or Live account to my personal one.
