You can change your password to your Google account. Anyone logged into the tablet will be forced to put in the new password when they get connected to internet, so they won't be able to open the tablet in the first place. Any existing local calendar events can't be deleted though.
I can totally relate to your experience. I just lost my Samsung tablet a few weeks ago as well Stupid thief

OK, so the standard contacts manager on android sucks.
Is there a separate Contact manager app for android with ability to add/edit additional fields (birthdays,anniversary etc)? I also want those fields to sync normally with gmail and show up on the calendar (Contact's birthdays and events).
Sorry if this been asked before. I have searched but, couldn't finds what I'm looking for.

What phone do you use? On my Captivate we have that function built into the TouchWiz Contacts app.
This would actually be a very nice addition for me as well. I have a Moto Droid and the standard Android Contacts manager does stink for not allowing you to edit these fields.

Yeah, I don't have touchwiz and not very sure how it works there.
I'm very surprised that with so many apps out there nobody has done a simple app (I don't really know how simple is it) that can do contacts->calendar events sync with google. I would think all that needs to be done is ability to add 2 date fields to the contact record. Is there something (google/os?) blocking this?
What I simply want to do is enter a birthday and anniversary for the contact on the phone, and want those dates show up on that "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar. Can do it using Gmail on PC (sadly only 1 anniversary shows up ), but phone contacts app has no such functionality. Been waiting for this thing forever.
Thought to up the topic and ask again before giving up.
There is really no android app with such functionality?
Well your phone gets all of that info from Facebook (if I'm understanding you correctly), and facebook is different then google contacts. It shows up the same on the phone, but you'll notice that on your google account, you don't have those contacts.
It's impossible, currently, to get your facebook information to gmail. They are feuding intensely about this. If you've got a yahoo or windows live account, you can import into windows live, then export to google using vcf files.
This will make all of your contacts GOOGLE contacts, and then they will be fully editable.
I personally am opting to wait a few months for this to happen on its own. Google and Facebook are battling right now, but they'll come to a truse and facebook will allow google to get contact information, rather then excluding them and letting other providers do it.
There a few facebook apps, however, that will get the names and birthdays to your google account. From there, you can edit them. But none of them will include email addresses.

You didn't get me. I don't care about Facebook. All I want is an app that I can use to edit a contact to add a birthday or anniversary on a phone. Standard contact manager on the phone only allows me to add an extra field (like a note). I can put something like this "birthday: 01/01/2001" in that field, and it will sync this info with my google account. The problem is that somehow that custom note field is not formated correctly and that birthday date does not show up automatically in Google's "Contact's birthdays and anniversaries" calendar.
If I enter the birthday date through Gmail on my PC, then date does show up automatically in that calendar.
So what I want has nothing to do with facebook.

So try "Birthday Reminder GL". It works with gmail contacts in that way.

It does what I want in paid version, but it's a bit too much money for such simple function.
Couple of other apps that I have tried before got updated and now do offer what I need (and they are free).
I'm set! Thanks

Do you mind sharing what apps you're referring to? I'd like to have this functionality as well.

There is a Birthday Manager app, EboBirthday and some other one (forgot the name). Both of those sync the dates with google contacts once you put it in the app. You can also do Anniversary. And those dates do show up in the google calendar "contacts birthdays and anniversaries". That's all that I needed.
This functionality really need to be in the OS itself.
I'm with the OP - This really needs to be part of the stock Google contacts and be editable from your device. We also need higher clarity contact pictures too!
Is it even possible now with the update to 4.0.4?
In the last release, I was able to only store contacts that were hosted on my exchange accounts or on the phone itself. Now with the latest updates, I'm stuck dealing with several hundred people I follow on Google+. Is there anyway to remove these contacts without disconnecting my gmail account from my phone?
Seriously, one of the most basic functions and it's completely jacked up.

Open Google + hit menu>settings and disable add contacts from Google+

Yeah, I figured out where the problem was. I had turned off Google+ contacts, but the contacts stayed there. I had to flush the contacts and contact storage in order to remove them. Also, with FB and Twitter, it synchronized contacts from there, which meant going into each app, disabling it, then re-flushing the contacts.
I also had to disable the Synchronize app for AT&T because I don't use their phonebook service and it was causing my contact list to take up to 15 minutes to begin showing because it couldn't access my subscriber information.
My issue was mainly out of frustration and because it is new enough there were no real results from Google that had helped. Now that all my apps are not synchronizing their contacts with the main address book, which was slowing it down, and I was able to get rid of the AT&T phonebook issues, it's better.
Hi guys,
New Android user here (Samsung Galaxy S3). The problem is all my contacts and calendar are on iCloud. Do you think it's better to use sync adapters like SmoothSync to get my iCloud stuff to work (prefer not to pay though...), or do you think it's better to just switch to Google? Keep in mind that my desktop environment is Mac.

Switch Its okay that your desktop is MAC though I think galaxy s3 and mac don't go together. Google syncs your contacts, because I switched to a different phone and when I entered my google acc info all my contacts from my old phone showed up and the calendar synced too. If you tend to switch to iOS phone then I guess use the smoothsync or w/e that paid app is.
Google
If yu have a mac. I think you should use google. As the new version of google is mac friendly!!

Switch. It should be fine
If you go to the iCloud website you can download vcards for all your contacts and then import them into Google.

Just switched to Google. Everything seems to be working great. Thanks for all the advice!
Hi All,
I tried to find something similar but to the best of my searching abilities, nobody seems to be having the same issue.
I've been using an HTC One (a GNex before that) for the last few months. When I got it, like my other previous Android phones, at the initial setup it pulled down all of my contacts.
When I set up my N5, however, the contact list was the last one from my GNex! The hundreds of new contacts since then are not on the new phone. It's enough to make me want to just sell the phone instead of going through each contact individually.
On my HTC one in the People app it shows 494 contacts under my gmail address, and last sync was a few minutes ago. On the N5 I don't get the same screen, but I have a total of 123 people in the app, and it shows that it has synced with my gmail.
Does anyone know what's going on here, and how to get my contacts onto the N5?
Thanks!
You probably saved your new contacts on the htc on the phone not on google...
Change them to google or export them all and import into google.
ALSO, make sure you had the htc one set to sync contacts...settings..accounts...google...click on your email..

My contacts are saved to Google. In my People app on the HTC, When I click to choose source, "Google (my email)" is selected, with 495 contacts.
As I said in the original post, everything is synced, and the last sync was a few minutes before the post.
I tried the export and import but all that did was double the number of contacts under my Google account (gmail address).
Is there anything else I can try?
I am currently using an iPhone 4 and the idiots at Apple have removed the option to export contacts to Google in their iTunes program... SO now I have installed a little app called Bump, that should help me transfer all my contacts to the new Nexus 5 when i get it. You can try it with your two phones if you like. Seems pretty simple, however i have never used it yet...
Here is a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bumptech.bumpga&hl=en
well if what you said is true, you should be in the htc one forum, not the nexus 5. Apparently your htc is what messed up.
I really have to go with user error here, its pretty basic stuff. I highly doubt your htc one failed to sync contacts even though it was set to sync google contacts...if so..you are the "one."
I know that sounds rude, but, really.....its basic stuff here.
GOOGLE how to backup contacts and restore them on an android phone, unless you want your hand held here.
Hey whatever happened to the OP's problem ? Did he/she fix it ? I have recently transferred all my contact from my iPhone to my new N5 with absolutely no problems with this app. I can confirm it works like a charm and totally recommend it. It takes less then 10 seconds to complete everything. The actual transfer took like 1 second !!!
I have a similar issue.
I too am coming from an HTC One, but I don't think that's the problem in my case. I've logged into my Nexus 5 using my Google credentials, but none of my Google contacts are appearing. I checked my contacts list in Gmail from my laptop to be sure, and all my contacts are there. I went back to my Nexus 5 and manually synced contacts in the settings, but nothing changed; my contacts are still not showing up.
I would love to know if anyone has found a resolution to this issue.
Have you made sure that "Auto-sync app data" is checked off,
"All contacts" is selected in Contacts to display,
and "Contacts" is checked off in your Gmail sync account.
Are you using a corporate Google account? You may need to ask your administrator for help.
Did you log into http://contacts.google.com and see if they are shown there? If so they must also be in My Contacts which the HTC might not be setting. Also on your phone, check settings and then check if they are in another folder just not being displayed.
Hey Guys,
First time on a Samsung device and I was wondering if there is a way to only load your Google contacts in the Samsung contact app?
I know I can just display my Google contacts, but when I hook up my phone to my car and the contacts are transferred over, everything from people's emails to old contacts I have are transferred over to my vehicles address book. It is kind of annoying. This does not happen when I use a Moto or Nexus device.

I'm getting a similar issue, first Samsung for me too. The stock Contacts App seems to be buggy and pretty terrible. I synced contacts from Google, FB, etc and even after selecting Customized List and only choosing Google i STILL get all of my Facebook contacts displaying. Really irritating. Never had this happen with other phones
