Contacts slow to load - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am running the 2nd September nightly for Exodus with the latest boeffla test kernel and the base gapps package (clean flash). I also have 2 google accounts and 1 corporate account running on the phone. My problem is this - the contacts take ages to load after a search or even while browsing recent calls.
Is this something others experience too? Any fixes for the same? Tried clearing cache already this solved the problem for a short time but it soon returned.

I've no problem with the Stock kernel. Maybe you should try using another kernel.

Hello man, I think the problem is with your 2!! Google accounts. When you have two accounts, with which one should your device communicate? How should the google server know which account should be synced?
Try to delete one account
Greets, reinipic

Let me try doing that, but I have the need for 2 separate google accounts to classify the contacts accordingly. I'll see if your suggestion helps me nonetheless. Thanks for the prompt response!

HI mate, why don't you take "myphone explorer" for the second account? You can sync your second contacts local on your PC. Works like charm!

Sync to Google calendar on Litening Rom v2.3 failure
Hi,
I'm am currently experiencing a similar issue. I recently rooted a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i91000) with an original kernal (XWKK2) and flashed the Litening Rom v2.3 onto the device. Everything else works fine but the syncing with google calendar. I noticed in the changelog that v2.2 had added the google calendar but I'm unsure whether the syncing aspect was added. I was originally intending to post to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but because I am a new member I am unable to. I'm wondering if other people are experiencing this issue?
The error message was very vague. I will include it on a follow up post. I am hoping to bump this post as I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Many thanks for the help,
Pat
Edited text: I'm hoping to get a response first just so I know whether to install ADB - i.e. whether this is already a known issue or not.
I had this problem and solved the syncing last night. On your mobile device go into settings, applications, manage, all, then find calendar storage and clear data. Ok that and reboot. It will then resync with your online calendar.
See vmiller's post in following link.

Calendar was syncing with my kf but not my Droid X. Did this on my Droid x and it syncs fine now.
Thanks so much!
I'll try this soon.
Looks like this will solve the issue.
I'll thanks the post when I can - did more then 8 today
Cheers,
Pat
Oh, and only need to do that once.
It solved the problem of new events created online or on kf not showing up on my Droid and it solved the problem of new events created on Droid not appearing online and on my kf.
IMHO , when i log in my google account , the calendar start sync
Hi guys,
I've tried it on the phone and it seems to work after the restart. However, if you restart the phone again (for any reason), the sync issues reoccur. I've found that if I clear the data, restart the phone and re-sync it works but it fails to sync again once the phone is restarted. I'll stick with the workaround for the moment but I hope a fix comes about.
Cheers,
Pat

Problems Syncing Google Contacts on HTC

Hello all,
I have a problem syncing my Google contacts with my HTC One M8 (running Android 6.0). In the past, I have been able to sync the HTC People app with Google (and also link them with data from other apps).
Yesterday, I had to reset my Google account settings. I also cleared the People data, before putting the account settings back and syncing the data. Now it will only sync some of the contacts. It's missing about 190 of my contacts (which are clearly still there on Google). I can find no pattern to the contacts it includes/excludes. I have tried repeating the process - clearing all the data and settings and putting it all back - but I cannot get all of the contacts to appear on my phone any more.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this? Failing that, is there another (reliable) app for syncing contacts data from multiple sources, including Google, Whatsapp, and Skype? Thank you in advance!
Can you verify that missing ppl have either google plus profiles or (birth)dates set? Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/contact-sync-flashing-8-1-image-syncing-t3715229 ... this seems broken since the 8.1 release but also breaks for non-oreo and non-pixel devices

Thanks for posting so quickly - and for directing me to a thread for precisely this issue! I am missing rather too many contacts to go through all of them, but it's definitely not confined to contacts with a G+ profile and/or a date. As you say, the Android version on my phone also pre-dates that of most users experiencing this problem.
It seems there's no clear solution yet, but (from the thread) it seems to be early days. For now, I have manually exported my Google Contacts to a vCard file and imported it to my phone contacts. I guess I'll wait and see if Google comes up with a solution in due course.

Deleted my Google account and People app data (again) today. Replaced them and suddenly I am finding ALL my Google contacts syncing again. I don't really have an explanation for why it worked this time but it might be relevant that I also installed the dedicated Google Contacts app this time round.
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.

google contact sync issue

Hello friends
I am facing google contacts not syncing issue on almost every rom with xposed installed (especially mokee rom because it have xposed installed by default)
Can anyone please help
Hey
Had this issue once before on santoni. Dind't find out how to fix.
Had this now on osprey (my baby boy destroyed my santoni).
I did a clean flash of mokee 71 build 20180707 and nano opengapps from 20180706 and contacts didn't sync.
What worked for me was simply dirty flashing the gapps from this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-gapps-7-0-nougat-minimal-t3474980/page1
Contacts started syncing even before updating Google Play Services.
Hope this also works for you, guys.
Hello,
I have two Huawei Y550-L01 phones, each with it's own Google account configured and a recent 7.1.2 Custom ROM.
On one, syncing contacts works perfectly. On the other it keeps hanging, never performing a full sync.
On both, I use latest OpenGApps pico from 2018-07-24.
I found many apparent solutions and tried them all:
- disable battery optimization for Contacts app
- clear cache and data from Contacts app
- remove and re-add Google account
All to no avail. Can someone help me get this issue resolved?
Thanks,
FWieP

It seems that I forgot to mention two important factors: time and patience.
A second device with both Google accounts configured as two separate users, showed the same issue. One account would sync without any problem, the other would hang.
With this device, I ruled out the Custom ROM being the issue (as I assume that both LineageOS 14.1 and 15.1 are robust enough to not have such a bug in them).
Several hours later, I tried again on both devices. Remove cache and data from "Contacts storage" and "Contacts" app. Then force synchronization under "Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> Synchronization".
Given time, the both synced!
I don't understand it, but this procedure has worked - and cost me several nerves in the process
Issue solved (for now).
Sorry for the noise,
FWieP

Google Contacts and Calendar not syncing

So all other google services seem to be working fine, app store is good.
Contacts and calender refuse to update.
I go into User&Accounts>Google>Sync sync now and it syncs Fi/Fit data/People but not Contacts. returns 'sync is currently experiencing problmes, it will be back shortly"
It did work as it says it synced 2 days ago. when I first got everything side loaded and working.
anyone else having issues or known fix?

Had the same issue. So I started from scratch with the installation of the Google Services until sync was working in-between the steps of installation.
Please tell me which version of installation did u use?
There are several... and which EMUI version did u use for installing the Google Services?

Folowed these directions, worked good, actually on Pro Plus and on 10.1.0.145
go to youtube and this short link since I cant post links yet 9fTIZFehwlw
Actually I saw that on different p40 the symptoms are different.
I have p40 pro and after initial sync when I put the Google account stopped syncying and even yahoo syns does not work
I'd you are above 136 on p40 pro lz application does not work.
I used a different method to put Google services and still does not work.

everything syncs and works but google contacts... that is the strange part.
will probably wait till something breaks it good and then hope there is a better "method"
I can live with manually import/export contacts.
I was just hoping it was something simple but doesnt sound like it
Thanks
Well actually I solved this...
Use app Fix Play Services 2020 and it will install new Play magazine and clear some cache and... It works. Now I can sync both Google and Yahoo accounts.
Remains the problems I have with Google Pay and Edenred Pay... Also I cannot sing in into UniCredit Account. Aplication is working but you cannot add your personal data.

Did it fix the google contact sync for u too? I'm also curious where you download the apk as it's not found in Aurora store. And the one I found from apkpure only do basic things like clear play services cache and stuff like that , that I already tried and not working.

Exactly this one... Fix Play Services 2020
It will drive you to Google play store and install an official one
The problem now is push notifications, does not work.

Finally solved the contacts syncing issue by uninstaling the Google contacts Sync(version 10) installed when I installed GMS on my P40 Pro and installing this one (version 4.4.4)

I don't know how but it seems that this also solved the notifications issue for Gmail. I observed this morning that I receive Gmail notifications as soon as I receive an email in my Gmail account.

Did you install it after the GMS installing? I ask because on my device is done everything since weeks. Can I just install this app without breaking the other Google stuff?

Ha. I had this problem and thought it was just me. My workaround was to download BlueMail and I have never looked back

I switched to Edison Mail. Small footprint. Instant notifications. All the functions of Gmail plus the added bonus of a combined In Box. Just like GMail it reads my messages and adds things to my calendar, reminds me about bills, etc.

yep, this is so much better than the gmail app just for the mark as read option in notifications. I'm switching to this full time. thanks so much.
