Google Contacts-> Need Data connection?

I find that there are SIM Contacts, Phone Contacts, and Google Contacts.My plan is that my official contacts are Google Contacts.
Do I need to have a data connection to see them? I don't want to count on a data connection being always there.Not quite sure how to proceed on this.
I find that not all of my Google contacts are on the phone if I select "Google contacts" only for contacts. I don't see a 'Sync' opton either.
Any thoughts?

on my current android device all of my google contacts sync and stay on my device. Mine is set up differently as I only have one set of contacts, but you shouldnt need a data connection once they've all synced unless you make changes.

Thanks.
So what are the thoughts about the fact that I have (maybe only 1) contact/s that are in my Google contacts, but not on the phone.
[edit]
I clicked the search, and found the contact. But the contact is no in my list. Only contacts I have displaying are Google Contacts. Maybe one thing I might need to do to be sure I don't get it all confused, is delete them from SIM and phone. But not sure how to do that, and be sure I don't delete from Google Contacts.
[EDIT2]
Well not having any luck. I tried adding another account (my wife's), but that won't work. Because there is no selection to synch calendar only. You must sync email. Don't want her email.
Looks like I need to hard reset the phone So, my next order of business is to figure out how to backup everything, so I don't have to do all the config again. Of course, what I don't know is if the restore will just bring the problem back, assumint the hard rest fixes my isse. I'll create a new post on backup topic.

Help! Stuck in constant email syncronise!

Hi all,
I noticed a few days ago my HD7's battery was lasting just a few hours after a full recharge. I have now found that the phone is constantly syncronising all the email accounts! (1 live, 1 exchange & 1 Imap)
All 3 accounts are greyed out in the email settings page, so I can't even remove them.
I don't want to do a factory reset as I'll lose all of my Txt messages
Anyone have any ideas...?
Cheers

Have you rebooted your phone? Also, not absolutely certain about saving text messages but, I believe Live will restore all settings and info after a hard reset. It did on mine when I was switching out HD7s. Just make sure Live sync has run.

Well hard reset will definitely not bring back smses.
As for the sync: for 99% it's some kind of currupted email data.
Maybe try to clean these email accounts. It must be something like that.
I've had similar issue but with looped Contacts sync. Device was endlessly counting synced contacts, I was forcing this to stop after reaching 20000......
The problem was gone once I cleaned my contacts and removed corrupted data. This problem appeared after I made first ActiveSync from my WM6.5 device.
Now it's fine. WLive syncs hotmail emails, calendar and contacts.
Hope this helps......

Hmmmm not sure I can clean out my emails...
The live account has no emails in there, and my Exchange account has over 11,000 so don't want to mess with that!
I've tried disconecting from the internet (airplane mode etc) to see if the sync ever times out but it never does.

Do you try to sync all that 11,000 emails to your phone? Or just a few days worth of it?

Only the last 7 days worth.
I've changed the passwords on all my email accounts, thinking it might stop as it cant access it, but no joy...
Wierdly the Hotmail mail icon on the start screen has dissapeared and is gone from the apps list (ie I can't go into my hotmail email list)...
Q

Hard to say. It may be a problem started with 11000 emails but I am not sure.
But I'm sure there are some things which cause sync corruption and in this case
only hard reset helps. I think 11000 emails is sick for a device.

it started when my live account didn't update with new emails.
Now the live account is in the email list (under settings) but has completly gone from the rest of the phone! Like if I try and forward a picture via messaging, the hotmail account is not listed, when the exchange and Imap accounts are...
Hopefully the next update will be here within a week or so, and that may solve my problem...

Same problem here, but with contacts. Live is constantly syncing. If you want to stop it, turn off wifi, turn off data and 3G in cellular settings and it will stop. Then go to settings for that account and write some bull**** in server adress. It will not be able to connect again.
I tried to clean all contacts from my live account, then sync with phone (which removes contacts from phone). Then i imported the contacts again to live and synced again. sync loop was back...
Any advices? This is common problem with all WP7 phones. Lot of people have this problem. I also dont want to hard reset. I am using different live account, which syncs just fine.

I don't think you can deal with it without hard reset.
I had this contacts loop and it was caused by corrupted and doubled contacts in Hotmail, plus the number of it - it was 1400.
After I sorted this - cleaned, removed empty ones and unnecessary, everything works perfect. So the deal is to clean corrupted data.

problem is that the email accounts never time out, even if there is no data connection, therefore I can't change passwords or anything...

Try to use airplane mode. It should disconnect everything.

yup tried that, no joy

i started using a samsung omnia 7 this weekend, and had the same problem with stuck e-mails. a soft reset while in flight mode did the trick for me. i could then delete all the accounts that were stuck.

Syncing

Its been a week or two that htcsense mainly stopped syncing. When i press Sync All into Account and Sync nothing is happening. Anyone else experienced(ing) this?

It occurred with me when the phone is low on internal memory, on the chacha and legend.

Mine is very low. Will try to free up some space and come back with the results.

Try the tutorial from this section. Factory data reset and stuff...

I was going to but i cant before SMS and contacts are synced. Since when i backup and then it syncs with HTCSENSE i end up with double contacts and sms.

Hmm, mainly yes you have very low free space. Try to move to SD card as many downloaded apps as you can and then try to sync again. Or just remove them, sync, reset, re-sync, re-install, move to SD card.

HTC Sense still not syncing. This is getting on my nerves
I removed acccount and added it again, still nothing.

You need at least 25MB free space. Do you have less than that? If you have more (40 MB for example) then that's a problem. Try doing this:
- Go to Settings
- Accounts & sync
- Select one account
- Manually sync contacts, calendar, SMS (whatever you want) one after another and see which is causing the failure.
Also, you have mentioned HTC Sense not syncing. Try checking into HTC Sense website at: https://www.htcsense.com/ and see if your account is working properly there. Try to contact HTC as well (but they'll probably tell you to reset your phone).

My Htc cha cha doesn't sync the calendar with gcalendar. Why?
Then, really i can save the sms ?

Hy alex What'sup? I tried to do the factory data reset but the sistem doesn't reinstall the free app that i see on my market. What can i do to have that? It will be better for next time use titanium backup?

Is everything synced and setup? It should be downloading automatically once you connect to the internet and sync all accounts.
Which app isn't the phone installing?

all the app. i must reinstall manually all the app. The app that i download are only free. i must set up something in particular. In privacy i tip "backup" same problem in my htc desire and in my htc cha cha

When you have performed your initial setup, have you deactivated the "Keep my settings backed up" in the last screen of the Google account setup? It's normally activated by default. These are the settings that I am using.

no i didn't do this. but, if i deactivete this, what's happen?

I was just asking to see if that's the reason it won't resync. I thought that you deactivated it. Check my guide under the memory issues and activate those two also.

Can i deactiveted now or i must deactiveted only after "factory data reset"?
i must deactiveted from "privacy" ---> backup my setting

They all need to be activated. I asked just to check

Yes my friend, restore app and back up, in privacy area are all correct activeted.
So please tell me what i must to do to restore all my app
1) back up with titanium?
2) how can i restore after a reset? I didn't s-on my htc.
3)The reason could be that my cha cha is branded? I download "apn italian" from market do you know another way to unlock?
So please tell me why if i create an even on my android calendar this does'nt sync in gcalendar? Gmail sync the contact and not the event.

[Q] New laptop, lost data - How to sync phone without losing everything?

Hi my laptop died on me, so ive just bought a new one, I have the problem now of having no files on my laptop whatsoever, and a phone full of music, photos videos contacts etc that was synced with my old laptop.
Can i sync my phone now so that all the data on my phone goes on to my laptop, so it can just be updated via HTC Sync, because as soon as i sync it now, i shall lose everything of my phone then i shall be well and truly stuck!
Thanks

If you change the setup from htc sync, you can choose that only the files from your phone get synced to the computer.
Or you can choose disk drive and do it manually.

Why not attaching the device as a disk drive and copy the data to your laptop using windows(?) explorer?
Contacts are synced with your gmail account, which in it's turn can sync with pretty much any other CM software.

Hi thanks for the help, all sorted now. Wasnt sure how to change sync settings in order to sync from phone to pc though?

Question Can't sync contacts

Hey all,

I just had the same issue with 1 contact not syncing. My memory may be failing me, but I think I Force Stop the contacts app in the Wear plugin on my phone. Watch Settings/apps/contacts/Force Stop. Then open app, when app reopened on watch everything synced

Tried it. It syncs more contacts, but 10 of 100 contacts. Wierd.
Thanks anyway

Try to remove your Google account from the phone and readd it.

Thanks, but I tried it already... Still stuck with about 10% from my contacts

Only other option is to remove your Google account from the phone. Reset the watch and add it to your phone again and then add Google account back to the phone. May need to remove your email app too.
