I'm having that issue also says: login failed, try later
Update: Seems to be working now
Same, I can't login to any other sync account other than Google either.

I got my captivate on last thursday for $349 commit free. Great! Anyway, I migrated from a WinMo Tilt 2 that was hacked to DeepShining custom ROM with the latest winmo build. I was using MyPhone service to sync all my contacts online. Now that I have switched to android (and i love it), I need a way to transfer all my contacts from winmo to google. since the phone contacts refuse to sync with outlook on my desktop, i transferred all of them directly to my captivate using BT exchange. now the problem is that the phone contacts wont sync with my gmail contacts. any ideas on how to do that?
I think the best way to get contacts on to an Android phone is to import them into your gmail contacts list, then tell the phone to sync with your gmail contacts.
I came from an iphone, so I had all my contacts in outlook. You can export all your contacts from outlook to a CSV file. Then go to gmail and import your contacts in to gmail using that same CSV file. Then go to your phone under settings there's a "accounts and sync" menu. You can tell it to sync with google there.
At least thats how I did it. It worked fine, it synced all my contacts within a few seconds.
Agreed. I came from a Blackberry and just synced all my contacts to my gmail account, did some cleanup (easier to do from my laptop), and then synced it to my new phone. Very easy and quick.
Has anyone with Google contacts tried to set up a group? I have a work team that I text sometimes and it would be easy to send a group message vs add them one by one. When I go under groups on the phone I can not add any contacts (probably since they are all Google contacts). I also created the group through my computer but it does not show as a group on my phone. I looked for sync settings but I didn't find anything. Any suggestions???

I think this is a weakness of the Captivate. I have tried several options and none work perfect.
I ended up using "gsyncit" to do the Outlook to Gmail Contacts/Calendar syncing. When the Gmail Contacts/Calendar entries sync to your phone however (this will happen automatically), they end up in a single Group ("[email protected]"). So, I use the Android app "Groupy" for contacts and it keeps things sorted on my Captivate. Workable solution but kind of cludgy.
Groupy doesnt work right either...
1) Its slow as all get out, so slow it takes 30 seconds to load on my scree, then it pops up a box to "force close" or "wait". After another 20 seconds it finally loads...and this is with the latest update build as of 7/27.
2) When it does finally load, it shows my gmail contact folders, however the "Family" folder has 0, yet I have quite a few in that folder on Gmail contacts.
Bottom line, groupy doesnt work right, but worst of all a basic function to have your android phone sync correctly with your gmail contacts should work out of the box. PERIOD. I dont understand how this problem isnt at the top of everyone's complaints along with GPS and MMS?
This is still a big issue for me! Samsung needs to fix this and gps now!

Has anyone been able to get their facebook contacts to link to their gmail contacts?
I had used a app called "SyncMyPix" on my Droid and it grabbed all my facebook contacts and sync'ed them to the matched google contact. The pictures were now part of google contacts and synced back to their "cloud" so my contacts have the picture they were using at that sync time as part of their contact info.
So browsing my contacts on the web, sync'ed down to my Gtab.........I have pictures for my contacts.
You could possibly try just running that app on the Gtab and see if it would work. I would suspect it would. You have to log in to facebook via the app and tell it to sync.

Yeap worked just like I wanted it to for the most part thanks a lot!
So I recently freshly flashed MIUI.
I got my contacts synced with my google account. but then when I installed facebook and clicked sync with existing contacts, it synced ALL OF MY FACEBOOK friends to my contact list. I can't remove my facebook friend contacts...help..Its keep on doing that. I have "sync with existing contacts" only and its syncing all the facebook accounts to my contacts..
and how do I manually sync in MIUI?
does anyone have this problem??
You would probably get an answer/help with your issue if you posted your question in the miui thread.

that facebook app does that with any ROM anytime you sync...
log out of facebook and reboot then go to menu-->settings---->personal----> accounts & Sync settings---> turn off auto sync ....under that you should see your facebook and google accounts with sync off.....anytime you you need to sync just go back there and click your account to do it manually
when you sync your facebook what does it exactly do.
Does it just copy all your facebook contacts and put them in your phone contacts?
I know email sync does that because I did it and that and my gmail is unorganized so it made a mess on my phone contacts.
also does email sync delete your emails on your computer as well?
Because right now when I delete an email on the phone it is still on gmail.com
anything else I need to know? I have facebook and email sync OFF.
What OS?

When you first run the Facebook app it gives you the option to sync all, sync existing or don't sync. You can change this when you want by opening Facebook and going to settings, sync contacts.
Incidentally, you can also filter your contacts to only show if they have a phone number. This may help if things have got a bit messed up.

so syncing is just copying contacts, nothing else?
It doesn't delete my emails or do anything else?
Facebook only syncs contacts - nothing else.
thanks syncing seems totally useless then.
I am trying to set up Google Contacts. I imported contacts from Outlook fine. Then I synced them to my phone (Samsung Light) -- all fine.
BUT, when I went to my Note 10.1 to sync them I found that in my Google Account there is no option for Google Contacts, only something called People. It does sync GMail fine. Sync is on.
I've tried many things -- deleting the Google account and re-establishing it, clearing the contacts cache, etc. But with no optionon the Google account page for contacts, I can't even try to sync them.
Anybody ever come across this before?
Thanks.

you should have a separate app called Contacs. And in settings under account you can sync. Just use the contac app
Shaun:
Yes, I have been using the native Contacts app and syncing it with Outlook via Kies. I want to try using Google Contacts instead. I deleted all the contacts within the app and cleared all contact data/cache.
The problem is that when I go to Settings>Accounts>Google and then click on my account, there is NO option to Sync Contacts. There are options for App Data, Calendar, Gmail, Internet, People details, and Picasa Web albums -- and that's it.
Thanks

When you click on your account is it your gmail account..
Yep -- but finally fixed it. I just finished doing a hard reset of the Note, which I hated to do because it will take me hours to get it back the way I want. However, as soon as I did that the Google account started showing all the options, including Contacts.
Thanks.
