Hi to all!
I would like to try to use my android device without using GApps.
I have a big problem: contacts are not synced but I do not want to use my google account. I exported my contacts on Zoho, but I don't see them in Contacts and Dialer stock app. Do you have any suggestions to solve this problem?
In my opinion I can solve it by installing an alternative client to Zoho. I tried K-9 mail (very good app) but it doesn't work for my purpose.
Thanks for your attention.
Add all contacts to your sim, then transfer to the new device

As most have complained and I have not found any for sure solution I wanted to see if you guys could help.
Picked up my captivate today and went to try and sync my contacts via kies, no matter what I have tried it does not seem to work.
I'm windows XP SP3 framework 4.0 tried reloading drivers, reboots etc.
when I go to the contacts in Kies it says SGH I897 device not supported
Somebody please help
Anybody? I have seriously tried everything to get it to sync via kies, and this basically leaves my phone a useless brick without my contacts.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and kies etc.
HELP?
Honestly, just export you contacts to a .csv file and import them directly to your google account, if you don't have a google account go make one it is free and the best service for cloud computing and mail (storing contacts, mail, bookmarks,etc...), and it will sync ota with your android phone

How do you take the contacts on your phone and import them to .Cvs? I thought about doing this but I didn't see a setting for that on the phone.

If your contacts are already on the phone what is the problem?
But your phone contacts should have sync to your google contacts alreadys long as you have syncd your google account to the phone.

Very few of my contacts are synced to Google because they aren't listed as a Google contact. That is why I personally wanted to do the Cvs file then import to Google so I don't have to manually establish them as a Google contact.

Well my biggest issue with this, is that I already have 500 some odd google contacts on my primary gmail. I have no want or need for the majority of those contacts. So even if I was willing to do it via the CSV method I would need to make one of the other groups my primary contact sheet and not the gmail one.
So i guess i'm just stuck with 700+ contacts?
bueller? anyone?
I have been going through some ROMs recently and have found that no matter what ROM I try my contacts always do not sync fully/at all. I've been backing up using gmail and backup assistant but neither of these methods have worked for me. Also I can never access my backup assistant after I flash. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

If you are having problems getting all your contacts imported over make sure they are all stored in your gmail account's dashboard. If not then you will have to send your contacts to your sdcard to a .vcf(I think) and import them to gmail that way you know they are stored there. Then you just have to make sure you tap the sync contacts button in Accounts> Your gmail account, about ten times until it says it synced with a time stamp close to the time you tapped it to sync.

I had a problem similar to that. Let me see if I can remember what I did...
I think what I did was go to Verizon's website and went to the Backup Assistant on their page. I think after that, I exported all my contacts into a .csv file or something. From there, I went to my Google Mail account and then imported all my contacts from .csv file into my google account. I don't think that was it exactly, but something like that.

Awesome thank you so much guys hopefully I get my contacts working today once I can flash one of the ROMs I got from a couple days ago =)

Hi, has anybody found a way for the calendar app to show other shared calendars from your Google account and not just the main account calendar? I have a few shared calendars from where I work attached to my Google account, but these do not show in the calendar app.
I found a couple of guides on the net from October/November and tried to follow them, but they don't seem to work now.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Seems like Google turned off that feature for new users December 14th?
Any workaround? Seems stupid that my calendar can't be used properly

I've managed to get all my calendars to show by logging into my Windows live calendar, then subscribing to the private ical address of the individual calendars.
This will work quite well for viewing the calendars, but if I need to make changes I will need to log into the proper Google calendar and do it from there.
Hope this helps anyone else with similar problems

Try this https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect
Found here https://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674&topic=13950&ctx=topic
I also found gsync manager in the windows store.

Look up the old suggestions on using Chrome/Safari from the desktop to mimic a mobile browser, disable javascript (necessarily to select multiple calendars), and use m.google.com/sync as a mobile site to enable multiple calendars. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Google doesn't just let you pick these in a somewhat normal manner, but I was able to use that trick to enable multiple calendars to my Surface. Same trick I had to use with my WP7 device before Google allowed it to work from WP natively. Once you make the change it works fine, but you may have to do it again if you have more calendars to sync.
It doesn't work anymore

I am using hangouts strictly for sms, is there a way to get rid of the stupid suggestions list?
Also is there a way to sync Facebook contact photos with it, they're sunbed already to my Gmail account.

I found it annoying initially too, what I had done was this. I hopped onto Google plus and disabled suggestions. With that I also found it annoying to have circles in my SMS contacts too so I just hid them.
Another thing you could do is logout from your g+ account on hangouts.

Hey Guys,
I have the latest gmail app on my nexus 4, running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. I am unable to download any attachments through the app, and it is beginning to bother me. I have had this issue over the past gmail app versions, and from 4.4.2 KitKat also. Pictures say they can't load, and any other files fail to download, and retrying doesn't help. A workaround that I can use now is saving everything i need to Google drive from within the gmail app, and accessing them from another app, but this isn't a permanent solution. I have tried wiping gmail cache, gmail data, and completely uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it from the play store after a reboot, all to no avail. None of the solutions I have found work. If you guys Know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi
I have the same problem!!?? it is very annoying please anybodies have a solution? I cant't open any attachment via gmail app always I use save to drive to see any attachment via my mobile device.
Hey,
I never solved the issue and from Browsing around it seems it happens to some people and not to others. I just use the drive workaround now, because I have nothing else left to try.

Hi
Yeah the same as me, I feel tired of finding a solution for this problem. it is very wired that Google didn't mention this problem or solving it by newest version of gmail app because I found many threat talking about the same issue without a solution. many of member say to switch to K9 app instead of gmail app but the problem that in the k9 there are no categories like gmail ( Primary, Promotion, Social, Forums) I used them a lot because I don't like to get a notification when a new email come to one of these categories except Primary. these feature doesn't exist in another email app like K9.
