Hi, ever since I used Dexter's 1.3 rom, I have a problem with my phone contacts. Its okay on first boot where I sign in with my gmail and Google imports my old contacts onto this phone. However, whenever I try to add a new contact, it doest appear under my contacts list, but does everywhere else, such as messages and call log. Its very irritating. Any help is appreciated!

Help please? There was no problem with the contacts after syncing with Google on miuixtfinal. But now on v4 I have this problem again even after syncing.

As most have complained and I have not found any for sure solution I wanted to see if you guys could help.
Picked up my captivate today and went to try and sync my contacts via kies, no matter what I have tried it does not seem to work.
I'm windows XP SP3 framework 4.0 tried reloading drivers, reboots etc.
when I go to the contacts in Kies it says SGH I897 device not supported
Somebody please help
Anybody? I have seriously tried everything to get it to sync via kies, and this basically leaves my phone a useless brick without my contacts.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and kies etc.
HELP?
Honestly, just export you contacts to a .csv file and import them directly to your google account, if you don't have a google account go make one it is free and the best service for cloud computing and mail (storing contacts, mail, bookmarks,etc...), and it will sync ota with your android phone

How do you take the contacts on your phone and import them to .Cvs? I thought about doing this but I didn't see a setting for that on the phone.

If your contacts are already on the phone what is the problem?
But your phone contacts should have sync to your google contacts alreadys long as you have syncd your google account to the phone.

Very few of my contacts are synced to Google because they aren't listed as a Google contact. That is why I personally wanted to do the Cvs file then import to Google so I don't have to manually establish them as a Google contact.

Well my biggest issue with this, is that I already have 500 some odd google contacts on my primary gmail. I have no want or need for the majority of those contacts. So even if I was willing to do it via the CSV method I would need to make one of the other groups my primary contact sheet and not the gmail one.
So i guess i'm just stuck with 700+ contacts?
bueller? anyone?
I have been going through some ROMs recently and have found that no matter what ROM I try my contacts always do not sync fully/at all. I've been backing up using gmail and backup assistant but neither of these methods have worked for me. Also I can never access my backup assistant after I flash. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

If you are having problems getting all your contacts imported over make sure they are all stored in your gmail account's dashboard. If not then you will have to send your contacts to your sdcard to a .vcf(I think) and import them to gmail that way you know they are stored there. Then you just have to make sure you tap the sync contacts button in Accounts> Your gmail account, about ten times until it says it synced with a time stamp close to the time you tapped it to sync.

I had a problem similar to that. Let me see if I can remember what I did...
I think what I did was go to Verizon's website and went to the Backup Assistant on their page. I think after that, I exported all my contacts into a .csv file or something. From there, I went to my Google Mail account and then imported all my contacts from .csv file into my google account. I don't think that was it exactly, but something like that.

Awesome thank you so much guys hopefully I get my contacts working today once I can flash one of the ROMs I got from a couple days ago =)

coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

Its what I did, however its when I receive a call or text message the fb pic doesn't show, its still blank.

Yea mine isn't syncing up right either. Picture is not showing up

I wonder what I did differently because mine all synced and are running perfectly.
The pics show up in contacts, phonecalls, and texts...
Mine is also working fine. All contacts synced and photos showing for everyone.

The names have to match up mostly.. If not, edit contact> join> find contact.
I had the same issue.
I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

google did it
face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

Facebook sync works just fine in froyo. It was only removed on the latest update of gingerbread and it is not yet fixed.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

thanks for this app.. never heard of it till i saw u post the name of it here. works great on my g2x running gingerbread
slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
very weird.... on a rooted stock rom , mail crashed and all mail accounts and messages are lost.
Any hints?
Thank you
Umm you can resync your mail account.
Remove it and enter it back in under syncs.
I'm not sure if that's what you meant. But that's what it looks like to me more details please if this doesn't solve it.

thank you, I know .... but I would like to find out the cause. it's not good to loose all local messages because of a mail app crash!
Anyway, seems somethink related to permissions ...
Ok my phone has a very strange bug. It seems to seriously dislike one of my girl friends, it only affects her number.
Here's what happens, I send a text to her and when she replies my phone refuses to let me send a reply unless I delete the thread and start again.
This happens because it changes 0 or +44 to just 44 meaning the number is wrong.
I have tried deleting her and adding her again but this does not solve the issue.
I am unrooted and using the stock rom. No other contact has this issue.
Any ideas why it hates my friend? I know she's a stroppy git sometimes but my phones picking on her lol.

So no one has any clue?

Sounds like some issue with the country-prefix. Could it be that she is the only one in your phone with a different prefix?
What happens if she sends you a text when you have no thread opened and you try to reply?
Is the phone number in your contacts correct and uses it the country-prefix the same as other contacts?
I assume that you are registered with a google account (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) which you use to log on to yours phone's Google account?
If so then it may be worth using a PC to web-browse to google.com, 'Sign In' to your account, then go to the gmail link and check your contacts in there. It is possible that you have this one contact set to "44..." in the details there and the phone is overwriting the details each time it resyncs to Google?
Hmm after reading your reply I checked but no. Her number on gmail is 07. It didn't happen when I first got this phone.
I don't know what i've installed or changed but it's odd how it's JUST her number.
