Hi,
I've noticed that my contacts are not able to sync with google. This never was a problem till the time I rooted and eventually started flashing ROMs.
I simply try to sync contacts by :
Contacts --> Accounts--> sync contacts , gmail etc--> the sync finishes but no numbers are synced.
The usual gmail account info comes up but without the phone numbers.
Any inputs people?

Hi,
I just got my phone 2 days ago and trying to get my gmail contacts to my phone. I have configured my gmail account in my phone by going into settings --> Accounts & Sync and adding an Account. I have chosen only Contacts (not mail or calendar).
Now when I open up Contacts app and go into the Menu to View --> "gmail account" and select the group I want it to display, only a partial list of my contacts are displayed. For example, I have 99 contacts in gmail group, I am able to view only about 15 or so of them on the phone.
I have tried syncing up several times but kinda hit the wall now.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Are you only seeing contacts that have phone numbers? Or do all 99 have phone numbers?
Atleast about 70 of them have phone numbers.
The issue got fixed when I did a factory reset and reentered the google account information again. This is not a good thing but did get the job done.
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.
When i open my contacts up to edit them i have @ 8-12 duplicate numbers under the contqct details.
So say i open 'Joe Bloggs' contact his number is listed 8-12 times, i have edited these manually deleting the excess numbers but then they reapear!
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Open the People app, go to the menu -> More -> Linked contacts. Unlink all the duplicates. Go back to the main screen and you'll be able to delete the duplicate entries.

Thats not going to work, what you have to do is go in your gmail on a pc or anything other than your phone and go to contacts and delete the duplicates. The problem is your contacts are being save to gmail and simcard so everytime you sync with gmail your contact are going right back on your phone along with you sim contacts wich are the same as gmail contacts.this will stop it from happening everytime you sync or flash a rom

It depends completely on whether the contacts are stored as phone contacts (which is the default for contacts entered/imported on the phone) or google contacts. I've had the same issue the OP had, and it was caused by duplicate phone contacts, not google contacts. Doesn't hurt for him to check, of course, you may be right
also the duplicates could be coming in from htcsense.com if you use that or tmobile's contact backup crap if you use that. I also had an issue with HTC Sync where it didn't like that I had contacts with notes on them & started auto duplicating my contacts.
So i just got the alcatel idol 3 last Wensday and had to manualy enter all of my contacts in, how do i back them all up to my google account so i dont have to enter them all in next time ?
Is there any good tip/tricks for this phone besides rooting ?
As long as you are logged into your google account on the phone, it should backup automatically. If you want to make sure, go to settings->accounts->Google, then touch your email address. You can turn off different things to sync, one should be "Contacts"
The manual way, if you want to keep a copy yourself, is to open the Contacts app, then check the settings there. Should be an option to export contacts. It makes a .vcf file that can hang on to.

correct.
Probably going to make that vcf file backup, then clear data and cache in the contacts apps. Then restore contacts with the vcf file, and try resynching.
it wont sync, because you inserted the contacts to phone not to gmail account. You canverify it by going to contacts, hit menu (three dots im upper right corner). then select showed accounts and deselect phone. You will notice, that the contacts are gone, because they are only onbthe phone memory (not synced). You have to export all contacts to vcf file, then inport the vcf. When you select import from sdcard the app will ask you if you wish to import to phone (not synced) or to your google account (you have to be loged in). You select to google account and its done. In few minutes you will see the contacts also in your gmail account under contact on computer... howgh ?

ho do you mean going to contacts through text message icon?Do you mean when you start a text message and choose the recipient? It could be because you have the numbers on your phone/sim and also on google account. delete the one in your phone (before make sure they are on your phone and that you have backed them to google account or to cvs file through export option).
Hello,
I have multiple google accounts on my s10. I have selected only 1 account to sync contacts ( in the accounts section ) other accounts the contacts block is unchecked. I have wiped contact storage. the phone then syncs the account contacts of only the account i checked. This works for a day or 2 , however 2 or 3 days later or second day, the contacts from ALL accounts are synced and I can then see all the contacts from all the accounts on the phone. The other accounts contacts sync block remains unchecked but it still syncs. I have to delete the contact storage for it to only sync the contacts from that one account. But then again the same thing happens 2 or 3 days later all contacts resync.
I ONLY want to sync the contacts from that one account, not all of them. The others are all unchecked and this keeps happening. I don't want to hard reset. Any ideas ?
I am wondering, can it be an app syncing contacts even though it is unchecked to syn contacts in the accounts section ?
