I have stock 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5. I use my Google account as my primary personal account. I have my work exchange account on my phone, but i only sync calendar and mail.
My problem is once i got lollipop, my contacts automatically synced, no matter what account settings i had. If i create a new message in hangouts, i have to sort through hundreds of work contacts i have no desire to have on my phone. Anyone else have this problem? Any work arounds?
This started happening on my Nexus 6P. I don't want my Exchane contacts to sync - just mail and calendar. Not sure what happened, but seems like a bug in a recent update.

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.
[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?
I have been noticing that new contacts that I have added recently, are not syncing with my gmail account, even though I am selecting my gmail account and not the phone option when adding the contact. When I go back into the contact and try to "Link" it, there is not option for gmail. Does anyone know what the issue is or how to resolve this?

Some days ago I start using Nexus 5. I set up my corporate Exchange account (like in my previous phones) and most things are working fine. Except one thing - contacts.
The People/Contact shows me ALL email address I have communication with them in last years. So I have over 2000 contacts (mostly email addresses) in my Contacts. On my Exchange, I have 140 contacts and it is interesting, that sometimes just this contacts are shown (that is what it supposed to be all the time).
I checked setting (what contacts to display, ...), restarts, make a voodoo ... but nothing helps. Because I have used this feature in the past, I'm sure that this is a bug.
Any idea? Where can I report this bug?
Regards to all.

I have this same issue, and it's driving me crazy. I thought maybe it was a "feature" of hangouts being on so I disabled hangouts and removed my email accounts and verified my contacts were emptied. I also went into outlook and emptied out my auto complete file so they are not there either. Added my exchange account back in and there they are, thousands of contacts that are not really contacts.
I was on here looking for a solution myself.

Hello All,
I just bought a Nexus 5 and got a upgrade of android 4.4.3 yesterday.
Well, Is there any way to have push email service for the default email app for a gmail account.
Android 4.4.2 had a bug with exchange server and it has been fixed. I checked it on my hotmail account. I am getting notifications without turning on the sync. Same what I want it for gmail account.
I know I can use the gmail app, but for that sync should be turned on and I guess it will consume more battery.
Gmail sync is possible on my previous phone that was Galaxy R which had samsung push service running in the background.
Is there any way to achieve this in Nexus 5?
