Hi guys,
I was wondering if this is normal?? I make a change to a contact on my phone, after the sync completes, it reverts back to the way the contact is on my Gmail on the web. I make the same change again on the phone and then gmail on the web reflects the change I made on the phone. It seems like web gmail is taking priority over the phone. I thought its supposed to sync no matter where I make a change??
For example I have a contact on my phone and gmail on the web with a phone# of 555-1212. I change this person's # on the phone to show 555-2222. After a sync, the phone reverts back to what gmail on the web shows. I then change it again on the phone and sync. Only after the second sync do changes on the phone reflect on the web.
Thanks

I just graduated from a Blackberry to the HTC Incredible. After a few days of use and way too much forum browsing, I still have a few issues that I cannot resolve. Please help if you know of any solutions!
1. PHONE: If I dial one of my local contacts and do not include the area code, the call log labels the call as UNKNOWN. This is somewhat frustrating as every phone that I've ever owned was sophisticated enough to known that I'm dialing a known contact even if the area code is not included.
2. CONTACT SYNC: I synced my Blackberry with Outlook. I had no problem getting all of my contacts into the Incredible, but now I want to sync them with Google Contacts and ditch Outlook. I cannot change the PC Sync label on each contact in my phone though, and I'm not even sure if it has anything to do with it.
3. CALENDAR RECURRENCE: I often need to enter meetings to repeat on multiple days of the week. For instance, I may have a review meeting every Tuesday and Thursday. Is there a calendar app that has the capability of recurrence in this manner? I know this is a popular problem, but I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution. It seems insane to have to enter these types of recurrences through Google Calendar to have them sync with the phone properly.
4. MAIL: If I setup my "native" or default google account in the HTC mail app, it syncs with IMAP to get all of the existing mail. HOWEVER, it will not show any new mail that comes in. I have unchecked the sync with the Gmail App ( I cannot remove the account from the Gmail App), but no matter what I do, I cannot get new mail in HTC Mail. Each time I try removing the account from HTC and setting it up again, the new mail shows up, but nothing new from then on.
5. POPUP NOTIFICATIONS: I love the notifications that I get in the status bar for new mail or text messages. Is there anything that I can use to have these notifications popup in a new window on my screen?
Please help! This is an awesome phone, but it just seems that some of the "basics" are missing.
Why didnt you post this in the HTC Incredible subforums? I doubt you will get an answer in here.
LG EVE?GW620 with LG 2.2 Froyo Official.
This is NOT just an LG problem as I read others have the same issue with different brands of phones.
I noticed that when I add a new contact if I do not drop down the tiny part at the top and pick Phone/SIM/Google it will default to phone. That means it does NOT sync with Google. I also can NOT go back and change the contact on the phone to be SIM or Google. Part of the purpose of having this phone is for it's ability to sync with Google.
Is there a setting to set it to default save your contact with Google and NOT phone?
*This is important because if you load up new contacts they will NOT sync with Google, so if you lose your phone then you lose your data. Part of what makes Android cool is your data is sync to your Google account so you are always up to date even if your phone is lost or broken.
I do NOT have this option to set.
I found this BUT that option is NOT there for 2.2 LG Official---see bold item
right now i have Google contacts syncing to my phone. weird thing is, when i log into gmail and look under contacts, there isnt any listed. where does google get list from? I thought logging into gmail and clicking contacts would show me a list of names, but it doesnt. I dont get it.
First:
You need to make sure you enter a new contact by saving to Google.
Contacts that are on your "phone" will not transfer to Google automatically.
You can change your default save location by:
Open contacts
Press menu touch key (key on left side of your phone)
Press MORE
Press SETTINGS
Change: Save new Contacts from: Always Ask to GOOGLE
In Google it saves your contacts under the "My Contacts" tag.
Let me know if you need any other help with this.
p.s.:
If you want your contacts on Google and your phone, the easiest way is to enter them through gmail then let sync push them to your phone. Your phone (should) join the duplicates since they will have the same names and telephone #.
anyone??? hellooooo
anyone here??
[Q] Exchange Calendar & Contacts on Android always Push updates even if Auto-Sync=OFF
Fist off, my goal is manual SYNC of everything everywhere in Android. I want to save battery.
I have an Exchange account with which I sync email, calendar and contacts. In the email app I set the inbox frequency to check NEVER (i.e. manual updates). That works fine... my email only syncs when I refresh my inbox manually. GREAT!
The problem is my calendar and contacts always receive push/real time updates. I have tried everything I can think of to set up manual updates for my calendar and contacts but I cant do it. Is this possible? The whole reason I am syncing email manually is to save battery, but if calendar and contacts cant be changed then I guess there's no point, right?
The only way I could get it to work was by disabling Background data. but it seems like it should just use the same sync settings as my inbox. Do I need to get over my WM ActiveSync-esque expectations?
How do i sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com ?
I can log in to htcsense.com and make my phone ring and i can lock the phone.
But i want the rest that is shown in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXKuloPGFx8
I don't know when they stopped having it look like that, but I think it automatically syncs.
I exchanged my Sensation today & when I signed in the my htcsense account on my phone it started to sync the contacts & texts back to my phone. I really wish there was a way to disable it actually.
You can disable sync, but then you will not be able to track your phone i guess.
I don't understand why i can't see all options.
If I'm going to do a hard reset, then i want to know if my data is in sync with htcsense.com or not...
see that's what sucks. I'd like it to be synced to htcsense, but I don't want my contacts/sms synced. i hope they fix that. right now if I sync it up then it will pull down my contacts & there will be duplicates which I don't want.
After sync with htcsense.com, I did a hard reset of the phone.
The contacts and the messages was not restored to my phone when i again performed a sync with htcsense.com
There was no important sms on my phone and i had all my contacts synchronized with gmail, so no problem losing it.
Apps was not restored when logging on to marked.
I have 4.1.1-based ROM and using the default people app to view contacts. It seems skype/whatsapp decided to display their ugly head into my google contacts thus when trying to call people, some numbers are displayed twice.
example:
-----------------------------------------------------------
like I have an entry for a friend's mobile on google contacts and they also decided to put in their mobile number in skype. Thus the numbers appears twice on the stock contact app and stock phone dialer.. and I don't want this. How do I restrict Android (I suppose this is system-wide?) to retrict contact info to only those coming from google contacts.
-------------------------------------
I have set "contacts to display" to just my personal gmail account but whatsapp/skype info is still displayed. :/
thanks
ps. tried searching the net but not really sure what keywords to use and came back blank
Im running CM10 on 4.1.1, I like to just sync my contacts to Google, you can manage it from your PC very easily should you happen to have double ups you can easily delete them all with a few mouse clicks
Press your settings key in contacts, contacts to display, choose Google and sync them from home screen->settings->accounts, never loose them again. I found I lost a few contacts here and there with Titanium over time so I just use Google.
You might want to click import/export from contacts-settings to get any numbers you might be missing from your SIM card.
I don't leave sync on permanently just remember to do it once a week as I'm quite a jew when it comes to battery life.
