Where your contacts synced with Google before you flashed?

i had thought that they were but for some reason they werent, it synced a bunch of way older contacts off google, most of which are useless or obsolete, but i know all the contacts are backed up to my tmobile account and on the sim card, neaither of which seem to be syncing in this case, though i can understang the tmobile part not syncing since the app isnt there anymore lol, i just dont understand why i cant import my contacts from the sim. when i go to an old backup phone it says theyre on there, but on the sgs4g with ultragen its telling me there arent any on the sim
im just gonna transfer my contacts the old fasion way, lol but im gona keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone can tell me what the probelm is if for nothing else but to make sure it can be fixed or not

I had the exact same problem the first time I flashed CM9. My contacts weren't synced to Google. I looked into the problem when it happened to me. I went back to stock and synced them and re-flashed. Problem solved.

Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks
looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.
I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho
Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?
Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.
Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?
i know this rom has been requested by a lot of people, and i know RaverX3X is probably tired of reading comments like this, but my question is can you fix the vibration and ringtone? thats all im asking for, ill wait until you finish the rom but for now can you fix that?

Raver recently said all his time is tied up looking for work and life plus the projects he's working on so I don't think he will get around to MIUI til bhund is done with his kernel.
Not saying Raver can't do it because he obviously got us MIUI but I don't think he will get around to it til later.
Try his Valhalla Black Edition its awesome and you can use MiLocker for miui lockscreens

When I flashed miui, it messed up the mms, and then I flashed back to bsgs4g but still couldn't send mms... So I replaced my Sim with my wife's and it worked... So
I got a new Sim, flashed miui without the new Sim in, put the Sim in after first boot and it worked... Idk if this helps, but fyi...

Weird. I always flash with my sim card in. I keep miui on my sd card because it is the only rom that switches my apn for me without me having to use apn manager and set it up. I have not had any issues with mms on miui.

That's interesting, because I had the same mms issue with my wife's Cappy as I did the SGS4G... But I odined back to stock and then back to my wife's favorite Cappy ROM and all was good... But what really confused me is the MIUI for the Cappy is an "official" release, so, at least I would think, there shouldn't be any issues when flashing MIUI to the Cappy...
I rooted my girlfriends phone but didn't realize her contacts weren't saved in her gmail account. I saved her internal/external data prior, is there any chance i can recover those contacts somehow?
I think you might have lost them. Why didn't you have the contacts sync on?

All is lost unless she synced with Google... why wouldn't anyone do that?
Google Syncing is one of the main reasons I started buying Android... Its ridiculous that you didn't sync them beforehand.

if you backed up with titanium backup, have you tried restoring contacts data?
I'm not sure if this is a CM issue or the nexus s or JB, but it seems like my phone is only syncing every few hours. This includes texts and emails, which used to come almost instantaneously. I've checked to make sure all my Google services are syncing under settings, does anyone know why this issue might be occurring?

texts don't "sync". you're dealing w/ separate issues there..

Maybe some specifics would help.
So.....
Is it ur Google accounts under settings/Google that is not syncing as often as u want?
Or is it Google voice?
Is the issue with data or WiFi?
Ru using a stable or a nightly version? (Post this in the correct thread if u think its a ROM issue)
And if u want to backup ur SMS then try an app called "SMS backup+"
The more info, the better we can try to help

It's all of my Google services, and it seems to be just a data issue, but I rarely go onto Wi-Fi with my phone so I can't be too sure.
I'm running a nightly, but I searched through the CM thread and no one has my problem, and I have Sprint and sadly I trust CM more than them so I thought I'd try here first...
I use Google voice so I don't worry about backing up

Hello, I have over 150+ contacts on a trac phone, the sgh-t105g, and I need to transfer the contacts to my new Nexus 4 but I have no idea as to how, any help would be much appreciated as I don't wish to spend my next hours plugging in names and numbers for each and every single contact! :crying:
In Trac phone simcard has to inserted?
If so its easy..
Or else if trac phone has internet push ur contacts to gmail or facebook then on nexus pull it..
Good luck..
The SIM card is not a micro sim so I'd have to cut it and eliminate it afterwards but I'd like to keep the phone still working for emergencies and the tracphone does not have internet.. Lol
You can backup your contacts using an app like SMS backup, and then restore them on your other phone using that same app
But how can I get that app on the track phone if the tracphone doesn't support internet connectivity. Its just calls/texts. That's my problem here :/
Does ur trac phone can send vcard ?If so send all the contacts Sanjay vcard to nexus...
Try this ....
What is vcard? & how can I tell if I can send it?
You can send contacts via Bluetooth or send a vcard. if necessary, you can send to have any application, and then by the same application to restore them
Hi
Try to download it to your computer from androiddrawer.com and then send it to your phone for install.
Hope i help
Contact backup apps are recommended or android has it own conatct import/export feature

I know the topic is dead, just wanted to ask you this. All the simcards can store a small
Group of contacts say 25 contacts. And there should be one option in Trac phone
to copy contacts from phone to simcard. U can later put the sim in any device and copy contacts
There. Did you try doing anything similar to this ?
I did not try that as stated with my original purpose. The track phone uses a normal sim meanwhile the Nexus 4 a micro sim. I would then have to cut the normal sim into a micro one and hope I don't mess up the sim tray in the nexus (I've read many articles that it has) & then I would have to use some sort of tool to allow my now cut down micro sim to fit back into a normal sim to fit back inside my trac phone to keep it as a emergency phone... Which at this point it's all more of a risk than something worth the effort to try, but yea.. Lol.

Try taking it to a sprint store they have a contact transfer machine. I'm not sure who your carrier is but I'm sure they'll do it for you
