Hi,
I did an update and the G1 asked me something about contacts and by mistake I clicked on delete. So my online contacts at gmail GONE but the contacts on my G1 is still exist.
How can I sync it to the live?
wow !
You should go to settings, then to data synchronization and then click on the gmail option and sync it there. Then check online to see if it updated. If not try doing the sync again from your phone while logged out of gmail on your cpu. Idk if resetting the phone would be a good idea because the contacts arent stored in the phone, and if you say its empty online, then the phone would have nothing to pull to it. Hope this helps : )
problem in sync contact
I got into data sync and I saw it says under the contacts "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be bacl shortly"
ha?!
Ok
This happened to me b4.... heres what you do
go to the market and download an app that backs up your contacts.
back up your contacts.
Then boot into recovery mode.
Alt-w to wipe the cache etc.. ( fyi your apps, texts, settings will be cleared)
assuming you still have the update.zip on your sdcard, hit alt+s to start the update all over again.
Before you do the update, reboot the phone and see if the wipe fixed the problem. if it didnt, then reapply the update. And be careful when your prompted for syncing options.
Ill watch the thread for any further questions
SOLVED!
This is what I did:
I entered "manage applications" and deleted all my contacts. Then I did sync and it worked.
Then I used my backup from vcard IO application and did sync again and it worked.
From what I read the problem cause by mybackup pro. That's it.
Thanks
: ) ! Ok cool, glad you didnt have to go through all the stuff i posted above. I think those contact backup programs cause alot of trouble. I thought the whole purpose of google sync was to have a backup of you contact info anyway? lol glad you fixed it anyway

Hi,
I have and HTC Kaiser and everything was fine with it... then, all of a sudden, a strange thing happened:
I opened my CONTACTS and all of them appeared as always from outlook and SIM card... I closed the CONTACTS and opened the MESSAGES .. .so far nothing strange... but when I open the contacts again... boom! no contacts was showed! but I didn't lost them, because when I use the smart dial funcion, all my contacs are reckognized.
I reseted my kaiser and the same mistake again with one extra... when I open the sequence: contacts, messages, calendar, contacs... I couldn't open my messages anymore... and all my device begin to get sloooooooooooooooow.... veeeeeeery, verrrrrry sloooooooooow... to open anything, even to receive calls...
and when I reset it... the same things happens all the time... it begins fast e furious until I open my contacts... and then the problems begin again...
and other thing... when I open iContacts with de RevRom... the contacts show up... and when I edit a contact the edition page shows up.. seems the only problem is with the listing contacts (all of them: outlook and SIM card)
and now the calendar syncs and contacs, too... but the problem still.. please, SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
and here's what I tried to solve it
I have an old backup that I tried to restore.... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and just sync with my computer.... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and sync only the contacts with my computer... same problem
I tried to hard reset it and sync only my calendar ... it just doesn't sync! (well that's one more problem)
I tried to flash another ROM (RevROM 8) and sync... it doesn't sync the contacts
I tried to flash another ROM (RevROM 8), restore only my PIM... and the same message - contacts mistake happen
I am about to throw this pice of ^%$#@^& against the wall... please, someone help me!

Maybe you have some kind of buggy contact list for some reason... which i couldn't even begin guessing...
how many contacts do you have? and how many of them have pictures?
about 400... hummm.. I guess 100 or 150 have pictures
that's not enough to create an overflow..
might be a virus, or again, a buggy contact list. I suggest you backup all your contacts, delete them from the device, and try adding a few new ones.. then see if the problem persists. if it doesn't, it means you have a problem with the contact list..
if it does, we can think of something else.
Everything was working good until a few days ago. Now the Gmail app states that is waiting for sync. Your email will appear shortly..
And it never does. Ive tried turning off and back on the auto sync and tried to manually sync but I get an error message that says
Sorry!
The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get it up and running again? Thanks.
I'm on JF's RC33
Ok, I figured it out. I went into settings and Gmail Storage and cleared out the data. Then I went back into gmail and entered my account information again and it seems to be syncing now. Really weird, I dont know how it just stopped working. Anyway, hope this helps someone in the future.
Gmail
Dont know if you have docs to go. but when i uninstalled docs to go gmail started working again for me. Now i reinstalled docs to go and havent had any problems yet.
Reinstall any apps you've been using to send attachments (eg. Note Everything, Doodleroid etc.), clear out your gmail and gmail storage data, and it should work.
Try to avoid sending multiple attachments at once: for example if you send one and it 'stalls' and you try to send it again, it could do this to your gmail.
I also had this issue. I resolved this issue by turning sync back on. Once I enabled sync, I was able to get right into my gmail account.
Similar problem here
(Using CM 5.0.8 final on my original black G1)
I can manually sync with the server to get email, but syncing seems to happen maybe once a day for the past week or so. It used to happen so frequently that i'd see email on my phone before i'd see it in my web browser if i was at a computer.
Haven't changed anything recently... Tried rebooting the phone of course.
Can't find the tool for clearing out gmail on my phone, so i haven't tried that.
any other theories?
thanks
Edit: Turned off sync everywhere and rebooted. Got stuck in a boot loop.
Used amon ra recovery console to wipe dalvik cache
Boot loop is fixed
Refresh problem seems fixed too.
yay?
COME ON GUYS!!! See the date of the last post! Over a year ago!
Mods, can you close threads that had no activity for a year? (close threads had no activity on the thread for a year or more.)

My Gmail wasn't syncing properly, so I did "clear data" for gmail and gmail storage. It runs through the Google Account Setup wizard when I start it back up, asks me for my username and password etc, but when I hit "sign in" it simply times out with a connection error. The EVDO icon doesn't illuminate to indicate that the phone is actually attempting to connect to anything.
I'm running MoDaCo's ROM.
What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Well i restored a Nandroid backup from before I erased the data. So now I just have a Gmail problem.
I'm getting mail, but it seems nothing I do on my phone is getting back to the server. I can't send messages. Messages I delete stay in my inbox on gmail.com.
Any ideas?
I just hit the same problem. I was trying out the modaco rom and I decided to restore my nandroid backup from before the rom and go back to the "stock" format. Ever since then things I delete/read on the phone do not get updated in gmail. I also can't send from the phone, no error message, just sticks on "Sending...".
Let me know if you have come up with a solution for this.
I spoke too soon! I went in and cleared the cache on gmail this did not fix it. I then rebooted the phone and all is well again (at least for now). Maybe I just had not rebooted once I did the restore?
I fixed mine by changing my gmail password on the server. The phone asked me for updated login info and it worked after that.
I actually changed my password on the server, waited for the phone to ask for new login info, then changed it back on the server and gave the phone my old password again.
Panic Mode- Lost most contacts->Restore OK on phone, but when Synch, they are gone ag
Subject says most of it. I don't know how, but most contacts are gone.
I did a restore from a Titanium backup on my phone, and they came back, and I breathed a sige of relief.
But as soon as the phone synched, they were gone again. Apparently the contacts in Google Mail take precedence.
Desperately hoping that someone has a solution for me.

Not sure why that is happening, but you can try copying your contacts from your phone to your computer and then to gmail. Then sync.
I had this suggestion on another forum I frequent:
Turn off sync and restore again. Then set your sync to merge instead of overwrite.
Sounds good, but I don't see a selection to do that. Any suggestions for that?
[EDIT]
Well, I got them back, While browsing around through the menus, I saw an export capability. So I turned off synchronization, restored again, exported. Then took that file to my PC and imported it into Google.
When all was said and done, I had to Clear the contacts on the device, and synch from Google again, and now I"m back. Whewh...
My brother got a Nexus 5 from T-mobile today. All his contacts on HTC Sensation are synced to Google appear so on both phone and through a web browser. I was helping him set it up this evening and everything seemed fine - had him sign into Google yada yada yada. When he went into his contacts it was empty, same with his Gmail emails. He has 200+ contacts an quite a few emails in his inbox so I thought this was strange.
I checked the Google account under settings and said everything had synced just fine with no errors. Found this to be odd so I wiped data and cache on both Gmail app and Google Contacts Sync app. Rebooted phone, nothing. Wiped dalvik cache, nothing. Removed and readded Gmail account, nothing. Factory reset, nothing.
Basically tried everything I know to no avail. It's odd that it is saying that it is synced when it indeed it is not - there isn't even an error message.
Anyone else having issues with this? Find this very very strange and there is hardly ever a phone issue that I can't solve and I'm stumped. Now I did manage to just export contacts to storage on Sensation and then copy the .vsf file to computer and then copied it to Nexus 5 and imported so he has his contacts but still no emails.
Considering just flashing CM11 onto it and seeing if that does it but don't want to go through all that if I don't have to - my brother is basic user anyway, he wouldn't even know what's going on if I were to flash CM11.
Just seeing if anyone else has issues like this. Ant suggestions would be great.

You say the contacts are visible through a pc, you mean via Gmail on the pc right? This could indicate he is signed into the incorrect account. I know I have more than one....
Sometimes the Android Gmail app needs a manual pull down refresh to show mail, and make sure the appropriate inboxes are syncing via the Gmail app settings. The manage labels option, I think.
And in the People app, press the overflow button and tap accounts. Check the check box and select the correct account.

No disrespect sir, but this is probably one of the first things I check. I used to work at an AT&T store for 4+ years and this always seemed to be the customer's issue with "not syncing." He has only one Gmail account and that is the one logged onto the phone. When I log into this SAME account on a web browser the contacts are there. Like I said the phone is telling me everything is synced, yada yada yada but still nothing. I appreciate you trying to help but that certainly is not the issue here. There is something deeper than that causing this issues and I cannot for the life of me figure it out. So frustrating.

I understand your frustration. I suppose you've already tried syncing his contacts to your phone? It wouldn't be the first time a Google account was boogered up.
If that works, make a new Google account and import the contacts to it, then attempt a sync. If that works, there is an issue on Google's end with that original account.

Oh shoot, forgot to mention that, this is even more odd. I added his Google account to my Nexus 7 and my GS5. On the Nexus 7 contacts or emails do not show up (even though they say they are synced). On the GS5 the contacts show up but still no emails. Now you can really start to understand my frustration as that is just down right goofy. Who knows, so annoying though.
