[Q] Gmail contacts don't show in people hub

Hi
I just got a hd7 and I am trying to get my contacts synced. I have successfully setup a gmail account (hosted as google apps) and am getting mail, but I can not see the contacts in people hub. I did try it with a vanilla gmail.com account and it's the same result.
I do see my hotmail contacts in the people hub.
However, I am able to search contacts in google apps and gmail accounts (from people hub). Once I save those from the edit screen on the phone they start show up in the people hub. After I save them on the phone, these contacts go into the my contacts in gmail. So, I moved a few in gmail to my contacts to see if that would help, but it does not.
I did delete and add the accounts to see if makes any difference, but it does not.
Any ideas?
Thanks for you help.
Go into Settings > e-mail and accounts
Long press on Google and choose "Sync" it should sync your contacts then, and then they'll show up in the people hub.
Thank you for your help.
I have done that 10's of times, but does not help.
isn't there a setting within gmail that is required to be on for devices to pull contacts off gmail?
Thank you for your reply.
I don't see anything at the user level. There is setting to enable mobile access at the domain level that I has been enabled all along.
Fixed!
I believe I have this resolved. I moved my contacts out of the “My contacts” group in gmail and back into “My contacts” from the browser. (I did do this yesterday as well, but it did nothing)
Factory reset my hdc7 phone.
Setup my accounts again. Forced sync from settings -> email -> sync
After that it’s all good. Thank you very much for all your help.

[Q] An app or way to sync contacts, email, and other stuff without google?

As a lawyer, I need to be able to sync my phone to and fro with confidentiality for my clients. I was able to do this before with my palm treo(legacy device), but now that I have made the leap into the new smartphone age I realized that androids sync with google on pretty much everything so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to sync all of the stuff on my sensation without sending any information to google.
Also what is this tmobile theme engine they are talking about in this post:

When setting up your phone & using a gmail account, go to Accounts & Sync & uncheck syncing of contacts.
Then you can setup your e-mail accounts & contacts through HTC's exchange setup. This will not go throught google but will sync your phone to the exchange account directly.
Contact Sync
You could try using Microsoft Exchange as your email client. I use Exhange along with with my google email.
omar when i go into accounts and sync there is no feature to stop the syncing of contacts and also what is this htc exchange setup. Also i checked my gmail account and the contacts that are synced on it are only from the ones i input into google voice not my phone, but some contacts that are favorited on my phone show up on my gmail contacts as starred on android. So here is what im wondering: Does the phone only sync the contacts on my google account not all the contacts on my phone that i transfered for example from another phone

Your phone should sync each type of contacts seperatelty.
As for accounts and sync, tap on your google account and it'll open an another screen were you can choose (check) what you want to sync.
htc exchange, by going to accounts & sync > Add Account > Exchange ActiveSync.
This is only in case you have an Exchange Server to sync with.
I exchange email via Gmail only from my PC. I also have that same account setup on my phone (it is not used there), since Android requires it.
Since I do not want my Contacts/clients residing on Google's servers, I have Gmail sync turned off.
With Gmail sync turned off, can I now configure another non-Gmail email account, have it sync with my PC (direct via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), without these Contacts ending up on Google servers?

[Q] How do I change my general account?

When I got the TF I set up my gmail account to back up all the tablet info on as a hotmail account.
Now though, I want to change this email account to another hotmail account but Android (now) only let's you use a gmail account. Is there any way around this nuisance?
And no, please don't suggest I get a gmail account.
All of your apps that you have bought are linked to that account and there is no way of changing that afaik. The only way you could get it semi working is to link the accounts and set up auto forwarding

Maybe because it's a shared calendar. So events are not created with your "customized gmail account", but with your college's and those events are shared with you. To sync every calendar, follow these steps. It works for me well.
another gmail Q

Google has removed calendar sync via ActuveSync.
Check out this post on the Outlook blog about using Outlook.com to check/send your Gmail account. This will let you use your existing email on your Windows Phone by adding only your Microsoft account to your phone, and you don't have to change your email address or anything. Also, I use my gmail address as my Microsoft account login, and it is fine. Your MS Account login can be any email you want.

Next, this post on wpcentral explains how to import those gmail calendars into your Microsoft account via Outlook.com. Hopefully it will help you.
