And I tried the Exchange sync in setting-->Data synchronize
I used the parameters below:
mail:my gmail
server: m.google.com
username: my full gmail address
password: *******
It says that Authentication failed . please verify username/password.
what's wrong? plz help
Did you sign into your Google account? I have been trying the G and H builds and I usually skip when it first asks, then setup my wifi and then go to the market. If you haven't synced it will ask you to sign in with your Google username and password and then it should start syncing. I have a good 200+ contacts, takes it well under 5min using wifi.
It's OK For G build, but not for H
Contacts sync OK when I used 5.0.1G build. But HTC version did not do contacts sync. both gmail and calendar sync correctly.
google sync works great in 5.0.2H. everything was synced, mail, contacts, calendar.

Same here, I've been testing out both 5.0.2H and 5.0.1G builds and with the HTC build I was able to sign in right after the update and sync right away. While with the Google build I skipped the sign in and then once my phone was fully booted up I then signed in an sync'd but both builds pulled in all contacts, calendar entry's and mail.
I've noticed this too ... everything syncs fine ... however I've created a contact on the phone and it hasn't synced to google contacts?
I'm on the 5.0.2H Apps to SD rom.
I believe somebody mentioned contacts syncing one way only, from Google to phone over at the haykuro thread.

Thanks, I'm going to try The Dude's rom now anyhow .... see what it's all about and if the syncing works
I switched to the newest Haykuro H build and can confirm that this works. I tested by adding a fake phone number and then logged in on the web to my gmail, checked contacts and there it was. However, I did replace the Google Sync Control and that might be what you need to do to get the contacts to successfully sync 2-ways.
Do numbers 5 & 7 on pg1.

Good luck!
On the H build, select google instead of device when making a new contact.

Erm, is it just me .... I don't have that option when making a new contact?
Anyone please ..... I also installed the fix for the H build, but still no joy in syncing .... I don't see the option in the 'new contact' section?
@SatanR1
Did you go to settings, data syncronization, hit menu, sync now, and check auto-sync? That did it for me after the google sync mod!!!

I am on CM6.1B4 and I have calender and contact syncing working. I did the gapps fix which installs apks for the syncing of the contacts and calender.

go into contacts and add a "corporate email" account. add your gmail account credentials. finish the account setup and make sure there's a box that asks if you want to sync calendar, make sure its checked. wait about 5 min after the dialogue and you should be set.
at least that's what I did to get my calendar and my contacts sync'd.
good luck.

This only syncs your default Google calendar -- and some of my entries are missing. My other Google calendars have never appeared. (I'm on Google Apps.) Contacts do work this way.

Yeah that is what I was doing and I get nothing! I just tried again and it highlights but then I get nothing! stange, very very strange!
Did you do this on a computer or the tablet itself? I am not finding how to enter corp account on the tablet!

Go to Contacts, then Accounts on the menu, then Add Account, then choose Corporate. Enter your gmail credentials, then on the next page enter /[email protected] and m.google.com as your login info (if it's not already entered for you). It'll take a while for the contacts and calendar stuff to sync.
I set this up without using corporate email, and I have multiple google calenders syncing. I'm not on google apps, just regular google account.

What ROM are you using?
I have never seen an option to set up a Gmail account, using Google Contacts under TNTLite. When you first set up the tablet, and it sets up your default Google account, it sets up mail, but never gives the option for contacts/calendar. (This goes for both a Gmail account and a Google Apps account.) If I look at my accounts via the Gmail app, the Sync Management page shows only Mail as a sync option, with no Calendar/Contacts options.
On my Nexus One, when you go to add an account under Contacts, "Google" is an option along with Corporate (and Twitter and Facebook, if you have those installed). But, on the tablet, under TNTLite, there is no option to add a Google account, only Corporate and the others.
I've mentioned this a bunch of times, hoping that someone with more knowledge would take some time to figure out why--is it because TNTLite installs Gmail 2.3 as the default, and not 2.2? What is it about the account setup that only creates a link between a Gmail account and Mail, leaving Contacts and Calendar out in the cold? And how come when adding a new account you have no option to add a new Gmail account, like on vanilla Froyo?

There are apks, that need to be installed to sync calenders and contacts for non coporate I believe, as it was not in my syncing options until I installed these. They are GoogleCalenderSyncAdaptoer.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

I am using CM6.1B4 for the ROM, I had the same issue under this rom where I could not add another google account or calenders/contacts. I followed this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842590) and I was able to get it to work where I have multiple gmails accounts, and can sync contact and multiple calenders. At first when following that thread it killed my rom, so I had to clear cache/data, reinstall rom, and then all was fine. I removed the an Email.apk(?) and that got rid of the corporate email account since I don't use one. I beleive you can just install the apk's from that thread to get things to work, the *SyncAdaptoer.apk's. I have gmail 2.3 so I don't think that is the issue. Not sure what apk controls being able to add multiple gmail accounts since I think that always worked for me, although I remember messing with things and not having that ability anymore. Hope this helps.

I've tried multiple times to just install the SyncAdapter.apk files, and always get Application Not Installed. Maybe there's a certain procedure to follow? (install them after wiping data, and before doing the Google Account set up?)
I tinkered with getting calendar to sync with my Google calendar last night. I was successful in getting "Touch Calendar" from the market to sync, but not the Calendar that is included with TNT Lite 2.0.2.
Process: I went to the Contacts App and added a second email account (same as the first). By default, it labeled it as a "Corporate Account". The original one was labeled as "local only" or some such. In the wizard that takes you through creating the account, there are checkboxes for Sync Email and Sync Calendar. They are at the bottom of the page, so make sure you scroll down every page in the wizard or you might miss them. I don't believe Calendar is checked by default.
I don't particularly like the "Touch Calendar" app, but it is functional. If anyone else has a Calendar App that is working - please let me know about it. I don't know what Roebeet has included with TNT Lite 2.0.2., but that one is not working for me. It looks like the TapNTap calendar to me.
Talk2Rider--
The calendar in TNTLite 2.02 is the default TNT Calendar, not the Google Calendar (Roebeet went back to the default TNT Calendar in his TNTLite Supplements). You're seeing your Google calendar stuff in Touch Calendar because that's keying off the Corporate account that you set up, while TNT Calendar doesn't use that.
The Corporate account set up doesn't help those of us who are trying to get multiple calendars to sync in the Google Calendar app. The need exists to be able to add another Google account (like you can in vanilla Froyo), not doing a workaround of a Google account as a Corporate account.

These are system apk's so just drop them into the /system/app folder and reboot. But I didn't do that, I installed the whole package from that link I posted, and had problems at first where it hosed everything for me, but after clear data/cache, reinstall rom on top (doesn't wipe out these apks) everything was working.

Tried it (putting just the *SyncAdapter.apk files in /system/app, and rebooting), then deleted my existing Google Apps account, rebooted, but I still don't get the option to sync calendar/contacts as a Google account, and no ability in Contacts to add a Google Account.
I'm guessing if I install the entire TNT Keyboard/Gapps update.zip, then wipe data and then reinstall TNTLite 2.0, it might work. Just trying to decide whether I want to go through all of that.

Ya, I'm not familiar enough of the system apks to know if there was something else that needed to be done to get this to work. I know TnT light doesn't have the Gapp versions of the contact and calender....does it have the gmail.apk already? Best might be to install it all instead of trying to figure out what is going on. You can always use CWM to backup the system and if it doesn't work restore it back.
I don't want to be changing my system and want it stable, but I suspect I will be doing a lot of installing diff roms and wiping for a while till the roms get more stable and feature rich.

TNTLite 2.0 has the Gmail, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar apks. It's only the 2.02 supplemental that replaces contacts and calendar apps with the original TNT installed apps.
I made a half-hearted stab at installing the GApps stuff, then "reinstalling" TNTLite 2.0, but didn't wipe my user data. No change on the calendar/contacts stuff, and this resulted in messed up versions of Maps, Street View, and YouTube, which I was able to salvage through Titanium Backup uninstalls and then reinstalling from the Market. But I imagine getting the Gapps stuff truly working may require a full wipe, probably back to Vanilla TNT, and then installing Gapps first followed by TNTLite. I'm just not in the mood quite yet to go that far.
So, if anyone out there can figure out a way to get full Google account sync access working in TNTLite without having to start over, you'll get a gold star!
I have 4.0.3 installed on my Nexus S (GT-9020), and have been loving it - best OS I have used on any phone. So sleek and well designed, it's a real shame most users will never see it's full glory once Samsung, HTC et al will put their own skin over it.
Anyway, yesterday (29th Feb) all my calendar appointments disappeared from my phone and now it is only showing new ones added since yesterday.
None of my settings have changed, I still have my work exchange account and my gmail account syncing and the mail from both are fine. All the calendars are still selected to be shown. When I go online I can still see my appointments in Google Calendar so I know they haven't been deleted and in Outlook my exchange appointments are also still there.
I don't know what has happened. At first I thought it was just the widget but the full app doesn't show them either.
Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know how to sort it?
Cheers.

Try turning sync off for calendar , restart, then turn it back on?
Have you tried clearing data from the calendar app? Go into Settings | Apps | All | look for calendar and clear data.
Are you using a custom ROM? Is this for all appointments (google and exchange)?
I had this problem once for the exchange appointments. I resolved it by removing the exchange account, and adding it back again with all settings left at default.
Maybe a problem with the leap year? But then others should also having problems.
I would also remove the calendar, reboot, delete data and re-add the calendar.
Thanks Oogway13.
I tried turning off and on sync with no joy, but deleting the app data under the app "Calendar Storage" did the trick. Everything went (as expected) then opened the calendar app (can't remember if I selected refresh or not) and all my appointments slowly came back. Weird.
I didn't need to reboot or remove-add the calendar app (which I think you can only disable, not remove, on ICS anyway) so that's good.
Just running stock Nexus S ICS ROM (downloaded from this forum) and use stock calendar app for both google calendar and exchange calendar. All had gone missing though!
Glad it's back.
Excellent!! good to know it's working now
I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
Hi, all. I've been having problems getting my Google contacts to sync on my Mix 3 running stock China rom. As you know, Google framework comes preinstalled and I've got pretty much every other Google service (mail, keep, play store) installed and working. I wasn't able to use the ubiquitous "Google installer apk" that most people point to because it first tries to install the framework but fails as it is already installed, and refuses to move on to the next steps. However, even though every other service works, my contacts refuse to sync. There are lots of guides to solve this very common problem with miui, but none of them worked for me. I've tried changing permissions for the contacts app, battery settings, installing a Google contacts sync adapter app, reinstalling the contacts app, and nothing's worked. Whenever I attempt to refresh the Google contacts app I get the message: "can't finish sync. Some contacts may not show up on all of your devices". Has anybody faced this problem?
I faced this problem too, after following the guide on Miui. I tried different permission settings and couldn't get it to sync.
Eventually the contacts app was updated though the Google play store, and it started syncing correctly. Make sure you have the latest contacts apk installed.

Thanks for your reply. I'll report back after an update occurs.
I think this is related to how Google Play Services is on the phone, I created a lite Google package for the Nubia Z17 and people had similar complaints about contacts sync not working... it was fixed by flashing the stock opengapps but we can't do that without TWRP here.
Download this Google Contacts Sync 9 (Android 6.0+) - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
Install and grant it permissions. Reboot phone and google contacts will start syncing without issues.
Thanks JJay666, it works for my mix3 china stock rom.
