I'm a new owner, I have this really annoying problem:
Sometimes when I open the contacts, it looks empty, I've noticed that this issue happens when WLM is trying to reconnect.
The settings about SYNC is on Manual but when it starts to reconnect it's impossible to me to stop it, the only way for to stop this problem is to reboot or just turn on the wireless and sync it.
If I'm in a place where there's wireless signal no problem, but i won't to pay the umts/gprs connection to resync, and i want to use the contacts list.
Anybody here can help me?

Whenever i cradle my device and start to sync, when its "looking for changes" - it freezes.
It still syncs, but i can't do anything while it does.
It happens everytime i configure my exchange account, and usually when i cradle my device. Does not happen when i sync with exchange only with a GPRS connection, or when i cradle my device without the exchange server configured.
It must mean the combination of the two is causing this freeze.
It happens on every rom i tried, including wm5.
Lately it got even worse, so i decided to treat this problem once and for all...
Could it be that maybe some item is screwing up the sync?
I have only 260 contacts, and 20 appointments (13 recurring - for birthdays...).
Does anyone have an idea how i could trace this problem?
Hello!
Since I had battery problems and the active sync always active was the main cause (now I can use the Pro for two days, otherwise at dinner time it was dead already), I read a lot about it and people told to kill the notification with taskmanager called replog.exe, or something like that.
It worked well, the problem is that I still want to connect to activesync to install programs and sync with outlook and now I cant. device is not connected at all.
how can i start activesync manually or solve this issue?
please help! this is getting me nuts!

Hi all,
my ActiveSync keeps running once in a while. I have not entirely narrowed it down to a specific time interval, but it seems to run itself whenever an internet connection is established. And if I am in a dodgy signal area (or in and out of signal) it runs a lot! It syncs to my Exchange Server, but I do not want it to sync as often as it does.
Here's the background to my problem.
Phone: Xperia X1i
How I've tried to fix this so far.
1.) I am using ActiveSync in order to synchronize contacts and calendar to my Gmail account, so I cannot enter a 'fake server' to stop ActiveSync from starting.
2.) I have searched the web and this forum to solve my problem. I have tried using the Task Manager and disabling the 'runafter...' repllog.exe in the notifications. This still happens. I have disabled all repllog.exe instances I have found, but it still runs!
The most annoying part about this is that it keeps syncing to my contacts and them 're-sorting' them to 'Last Name, First Name'. I then I have to keep constantly running the 'Contact Changer' app to rectify this. More annoyingly, it wastes resources, makes the phone slow and is unneccesary.
I just simply want to stop ActiveSync from running automatically and only when I ask it to. Is this REALLY that hard to ask for from WM 6.1?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I installed the gmail update that was in the market. Since I installed it, my contacts have not synced with gmail. I noticed my phone was not sleeping and started looking and I found that the google contacts were not syncing but would try and after a few minutes it would get this error message:
Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly
This has been happening for 7 days and after the sync fails it trys again and prevents the phone from sleeping. I have tried removing this update and I have been unable to. The only solution I know is to wipe the data and flash the rom again. Is anybody else having this issue?
I am on a stock ROM and i still get stupid issues revolving around Gmail. The giant POS keeps my phone trying to sync all day, so I use ATK to simply kill Gmail, then go into running applications and stop the sync.
It is VERY annoying.
I did some more testing and here is the strange thing. The mail and calendar sync with no problems. It is just the contact sync that causes this error. I made a change to a contact while logged into gmail on my pc. I enabled the contact sync and after a little while it gave me that error. However it did sync the contact and change I made on the pc was reflected in the contact now on my Evo. So I did it the other way and changed a contact on the Evo and synced again. After getting the error message I checked the contact on my pc and the change was there. So the contacts are syncing but something is not telling the evo that the sync was completed properly. Anybody have any ideas what is causing all of this? I have to leave it disabled for the contacts if I want my phone to sleep.
Though I have encountered the same problem as described but I would like to eliminate the connection issue first. My interest is to sync contact from gmail to phone (a Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.1). Normally I will not use 3g (GPRS is too expensive in this part of the world) but connecting thru wifi. I am very sure the connection is thru as I am able to access my gmail account thru the phone browser. I then get to phone menu and start syncing (setting, sync) but got the "sync is currently experiencing........" error message. My question is whether there is any restriction that sync must go thru 3g (GPRS) connection or not.

I have tried it connected via wifi, 3G, and 4G. For me it didn't matter what connection I was using I still get that sync error when syncing the contacts.
Well I thought everything was fine until today. I noticed my awake time was once again the same as the up time. I got to looking and not it appears as if the google calendar is hanging on the sync. It does not give an error like the contacts does but the sync icon never goes away. I unchecked it from the sync and the phone is sleeping again. I don't know what is going on. Time to factory reset and flash the rom again.
Same issue. I've flashed several different roms in the last few days. Any rom that has the updated Gmail app is causing my contacts to "loop" in the sync and eventually give me the "currently experiencing" error message with lovely "!" (thanks, needed that). Older versions work fine.
Here's the wierd part...
I added a contact online and it still synced perfectly to the phone.
I added a contact to the phone and it showed up online.
THUS - I believe this is a phantom error message.
Hope that helps. I'm annoyed myself. I wanna update but keep running my old backup since sync isnt an issue with the older gmail.
Slightly off topic, but task killers are completely worthless, especially on Froyo.

I believe the error message is invalid as well. But it keeps the phone from sleeping because it keeps trying to sync. The only fix is to enable it, sync, then disable the contacts from syncing. Has anybody been able to find out any information as to what is going on with it? I was wondering if it is something that we can report as a bug to either htc or google.
After installing Liquid Smooth RC7/8/9 I was having problems where after a day of updating apps, restarting phone, etc, I wouldn't be able to take calls anymore.
My phone would ring, but when I swyped to answer, com.android.phone would force close and hang up, giving the caller busy signal. What was worse, I would have NO call log of who called, which sucked if I got a call while at work and unable to see who was calling on the screen.
I tried numerous factory resets and it would happen again, no matter how few apps I installed (1 at a time), I cleaned my contact list out on the PC after logging into my gmail account, deleting multi-entries where importing had overlapped/doubled/quadrupled contacts in the vcf file, cluttering my phone.
Cleared cache, fixed permissions, rebooted.
Finally I uninstalled facebook app after reading that contacts from social network, rebooted.
Still was getting error of android phone stopped working.
I think i boiled it down to the radio/network acquisition on reboots.... Only thing that seemed to work now was taking out my sim card, putting it back in and going to Mobile Network settings and putting it back to LTE GSM/WCDMA under network mode, reselecting my NEtwork Operator and Access Point Names..
Really annoying problem because I don't know if it's rebooting the phone that causes this, apps installed in combination with the contacts list, or what.
Thought this might help some people in case they were experiencing similar things.
Curious...
It sounds like a sync error of some sort with your contacts... it can be from the app side or from the Google side...
If you don't then possibly the sync services are jammed up on the phone app.
Goto Manage Apps>All Apps>Phone and clear the data for the Phone and reboot...
A lot of times it is the Facebook issue...
Hope that helps...

Yeah It is bizzare... I uninstalled facebook and left contacts alone to eliminate this from the equation.
On reboots, sometimes when I'm trying to select network carrier , it takes FOREVER to load the different carriers... I've come to the conclusion that if it takes forever to load/see the phone carrier options, chances are the com.android.phone will crash AND/OR it will work but i won't get call volume (neither phone can hear volume from the other) sometimes even when com.phone.android doesn't crash when phone rings.
Im thinking it's almost hardware related with the radios inside interfering or something...
I just had the original problem, reboot the phone, reselect the carrier (no delay/lag) and everythign works again.
I tried toggles up at the top after reading some stuff about how the GPS toggle has to be on/off ... when Wi-fi is toggled on, my cell-tower reception bars AND wi-fi icon are blue.. when WiFi is disabled, those reception bars turn grey... I thought this had something to do with it also, but it doesnt.. I'm getting calls with volume and no crashes now regardless of whether wi-fi is on/off or whether the phone is plugged in to the charger or not.
Right now, it's based on whether or not my phone boots in a "good" or "bad" mood it seems... very tempermental. I'm not blaming the Rom.. but it definitely seems to be carrier/hardware related that is causing the software (phone app) to go bonkers. I'm going to go back to installing my apps again for the 9000th time/factory reset.
