I just picked up a 2010 F-150 FX2 with Microsoft/Ford sync. My phone connects and I can use it to talk to people ect. However, anytime I try to download the phonebook the Captivate eventually disconnects from Sync without transferring any entries of the phonebook.
When I go to download the phonebook the authorization screen shows up on the captivate and I allow. It then vibrates once. About 15 seconds later it vibrates twice very quickly. Then about a minute later the disconnect happens.
I am running Cognition Beta 2.1. Anyone else having the issue?
2012 ford fiesta and no problems with phonebook download with two captivates (me and the wife)
What rom are you running?
Possible Fix
I had the same problem. Actually it worked one time. Then I installed the sync lockpick and I lost my phonebook. Went back to download the phonebook and I got the same problem you did. I ended up deleting the bluetooth connection, adding the phone again and it worked after that. I'm not running any other ROM and my phone is rooted but you might try that if you haven't already. Good luck.

I found a work around. There is an app in the market called "bluetooth file transfer"which has am option for transferring contacts. It worked perfectly.
Program worked like a charm. thanks!

I first tried an outlook sync (we run outlook 2000/exchange 2000 at work) and tried a direct sync.
Fail.
I was trying wmwifirouter to go over vpn, and downloaded the AS 6.5 beta. Fail. Blue screen when I tried to sync. So wmwifi works just fine (1.5 version) here. Ok, then...
Removed all settings. Didn't even recognize the phone. Did a hard reset, and then finally got a sync off my personal laptop. I've got the AS and wifi fail problem on my work lappy. This is a known problem.
So after the hard reset, everything sync'd up just fine, I'm in and everything looks good.
This screen is EXACTLY what I was hoping the iphone to be, but let's not go there! It works, and it looks amazing.
Overall, this is the best money I have spent for the phone. My diamond on ATT will be going up for sale soon I've done some tests for data and a few phone calls, and this VZ network is very good!
Just wanted to mention the sync issues (on wifi) and report in!
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.
I set up my Xoom with my exchange account last week, everything was working fine or so i thought. Now im seeing that Im getting email 10-15 min after it shows up in my inbox. When I was using touchdown I would get the email on my Xoom before my computer most times. Is anyone else haveing issues like this. I prefer the stock app but I would like email to come in fast. Right now I must go into the email app and refresh it.
more info:
3g xoom
Connected to work wifi at this time
set to sync 1 week (Push as messages arive)
no contact sync
no calendar sync
Things I have tried:
removing the account, clearing data and application menu, re-add
I changed the ammount sync'd to 3days (no change)
someone help
Self bumb. HELP IM GOING NUTS. I noticed the same issue is going on with my phone too. all other users in network with android phones are fine. just me >.< could activesync be freeking out because I have 2 devices trying to sync
Noticed a bit of a delay as well today with the stock app. My phone (Nexus one) gets mail pretty much at the same time outlook does but a 5 minute delay on the Xoom. Are you guys on Exchange 2010 or 2007? We are on 2007 currently migrating to 2010 and should be completely done with the move in a few weeks. Hoping 2010 corrects the issue.
Are you using any task killers? I am so tomorrow I am going to disable them and see if there is a change.

So no luck this morning with the default email app. Touchdown, however, worked nicely. I am actually receiving my email on the tablet before my phone now. Not the ideal solution but it works.
I have the same set up. Android phone and Xoom set up to activesync. Every once in a while, the xoom is very slow in updating. Not sure why. If anyone has any thoughts, please let us know!
I think this is an issue with Honeycomb. I have also noticed that sometimes GMail does not sync as quick as my phone does. Using the Wifi Only model btw.
Ok, after i went home last night I noticed things got better. Today while im at work everything seems ok. takes about 10 sec or so to sync to my Dinc and Xoom.
What we did to fix things:
1. logged into the mobile admin site for our active sync, I have been sync'ing virtual android systems and I had 9 different devices sync'ing everytime an email went out. so we deleted all my unused devices. ( there was 2 copies of my phone from flashing)
2. In the mobile admin site your exchange account is seen by an Alias. whith all the T/S steps I had been trying my alias in exchange got deleted. This does not prevent Active Sync from getting email to me but it does make it look a bit longer to find the right mailbox.
3. I noticed that I had many services trying to sync the same info this is bad. Touchdown was still running even after i tried to remove my account. Uninstalled it. Gmail is trying to sync books/calendar/contacts so i uncecked all ( I use exchange for everything)
4. Under running services I saw that attachment downloader was running in overdrive all the time. So in the account settings of the exchange account I unchecked " auto download attachments when on wifi." We email pdf's all the time they can get big and I saw that I would not get am email untill the entire pdf was downloaded. Also We use HTML email sigs, each sig is 3 attachments. After I made this change the attachment downloader service seemed to let up alot. if it didnt help me email issue it at least freed up some ram
Im not saying that anyone of these steps was the end solution to my problem but they all seemed to make things run a bit better.
Hi,
I'm having some trouble connecting my sensation with my car. I've just got a BMW with idrive that's fully up to date.
On BMW's website it says the sensation is well supported (defently with address book anyway) and the version tested is 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4).
Everything connects and pairs fine, I can make calls, read emails and SMS but the address book doesn't work. If I watch the address book just after pairing, it all fills in fine (I've got about 200 contacts and they all show up) but after 15-20 seconds they all just dissapear.
I have tried flashing various different ROMs and as far as I can tell HTC Sense seems to be the culprit, cyanogenmod syncs the address book fine but doesn't support SMS or email sync (I'm happy without email but would like SMS)
oddly, flashing to stock 1.45.401.2 doesn't work.
This is my 3rd day of googling and reading forums... im starting to lose to will...
Anyone got any ideas?
Ah, figured out some more info on this.
If I wipe the phone (stock rom) and enter a normal contact in the phone it syncs with the car no problem, appears and stays forever.
If I then sync the phone with my exchange server, boom, it never works again. unless I delete the exchange account from the phone then un-then-re-pair.... the one contact stored in the phone magically works in the car again.
Fixed!
It all seemed to be caused by having spaces in the phone numbers. I removed all spaces from my contacts numbers and everything works perfectly now.
Posted the solution here for a sense of completeness.
What model & year of BMW do you have?
I ask because I have a 2007 335i, and I have not found any way to get contacts to sync with my car using any Sense ROM (including the stock ROM.) I do not sync contacts with Exchange; I only have created-on-phone contacts.
The car would sync perfectly with my old phones (an iPhone and a Nexus One, both stock and CM7), and will sync perfectly with the Sensation if I use an AOSP ROM like CM7, but if I install any Sense ROM, the car only acts as a headset -- I can use it to talk handsfree, but there's no dialing, contact sync, etc. at all.
Yeah, its a december 2011 320d (e92) with the second gen iDrive.
I'm sure you already have but have you tried removing spaces from phone numbers? or it might be worth double checking it, I know I missed a couple the first time I checked through them.
Past that all I can think is to remove anything unusual from the contacts... categories, labels ect. The notes field seems to be ok, I use that and it hasn't effected the contacts syncing.
Hi everybody, i have the phone since oct 2011, tired of waiting for a kies 2.3.x i installed 2.3.5 and later 2.3.6 (never installed any mod, only official ROMS )using links and tutorials from this forum... works great, except for a fatal flaw: every 7-10 days tops ( but it happened 3 times in a single week) my address book randomly disappears in the middle of the day... e.g. i'm texting on whatsapp and suddenly instead of the contact name there's only the number... when i go for the address book i always find this exact situation:
- no numbers, no emails, no social... tabula rasa, blank
- if i try and change the visualization options, until i reboot the phone i can't even see the contacts in my SIM ( and when i reboot they magically reappear, they seem to be untouched), and nothing seems to be working, google account contacts are still safe on the server but the phone seems to be unable to see them ( works flawlessly in every other internet-related task)
after a while, and a reboot, and a restore from a backup i have on my microsd, situation seems to be back to normal, i can go back to visualizing only google contacts, sim and phone book both off... until it happens again, and again, and again...
did this happen to any of you, too? is there any way it can be fixed? it's really grinding my gears :\

This happened to me 3 days ago when using CM9, only thing i did was checking my contacts, played a little, checked the contacts again to get a number, and bam. EMPTY.
I wasn't convinced so i plugged the phone to my PC and launched moborobo, and guess what.. the contacts are there.
Got my numbers backed up, deleted the whole contacts there (invisible, from moborobo) and restored backed up contacts, didn't happen from that day.
