Nougat contacts sync issue - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I'm in CA and I just got EMUI 5.0 update. The update went fine and I like Nougat, however I have a problem with the "Contacts" app.
Our company uses G Suites (AKA Google Apps) and I used to be able to see all employees in the company (Company Directory) from the Contacts app. After the upgrade I can no longer see these contacts anymore. I checked settings of Contacts app and couldn't find anyway to turn on Directory.
Any help is appreciated!

Just make sure that it is sync within Google account or heck to see if contact app has permission to allow...

[Q]Mango and syncing Google contacts...error?

Hi all, I've updated to Mango and ever since then my Google contacts list has failed to sync ("there was a problem syncing, please try again later error 8004010f"). This is with a Google account tied to another email address not an @gmail.com address. If I put in an incorrect password or incorrect server details I get different errors so it seems as if I'm at least getting the details correct. I've tried all the steps I could find (mainly a useless KB article) so I'm wondering whether it's a Mango thing. Or possibly a Google+ thing?? (No I'm not on it.) Either way I foolishly unchecked the 'sync contacts' box so i now dont have any contacts

My google account sync perfectly with mango in my trophy...so must be something in your phone...Maybe the tied account has to do something with it
I figured it wasn't a common problem or I wouldnt be the only person complaining about this
Well, some more testing, I have tried deleting the account from my wp7 and adding it again - still the same error msg.
Bizarrely, though my Google contacts don't show up in my people hub, if I go to the hub and search for a contact and then hit "search Google directory" the contact will appear.
Also, checking my Google dashboard under Google Sync shows a "last sync: 8:25pm" or whenever the last time I tried to sync was. So I'm fairly certain this is an issue with my particular phone...Maybe it's time to hit the Microsoft support forums!

I think I know what's up
So I woke up this morning and the google sync button required attention. So I clicked on it and synced and well.. my contacts disappeared. Now I was perplexed by this. I erased and re introduced my account information. And nothing... so I went ahead and went to the Gmail webclient and somehow my contacts had been deleted. Google now has a function where you can restore your contacts. And I was able to sync again... Lets see how long this lasts. Let me know if you are able to fix your issue

I'm having the same issue on my Arrive. Can't sync and foolishly tried to delete and reconnect now all my contacts are gone. Did you figure out anything?
Actually, its not the exact same issue as I reread your problem as I am trying to sync directly with a gmail account, however, I am having the same results and same error.
Ah yes. I should've updated this. I never found a fix...but what I did do was add Gmail and Calendar to my google account. Then it synced fine. Not ideal as I never use Gmail but meh. Sorry I haven't got anything better!

[Q] Push Problems (C2DM?), ICS 4.0.3 - RCMix 3.2

Hello,
I'm fairly new to android and have been playing with RCMix's ICS ROMs, I'm currently running v3.2 which is Android 4.0.3 with HTC Sense 4.0.3.
I seem to have found that push notifications do no work, namely:
* Apps purchased from the market website do not get installed on the device. (although now my device does not show in the market website - related?)
* Androidlost.com works fine if you manually fetch messages or set it to poll, but the (C2DM?) messages do not get to the device if left alone. NB, the tests that are available within Androidlost all come back OK, so the device is registered correctly.
* Facebook messages (and Facebook Messenger) are not pushed, but are there if I log into Facebook or Messenger.
* Pushed emails using either the standard HTC Mail app and Exchange Activesync or the GMail app. If you set the mail to be polled every 15 mins then new mail is received correctly.
Would this be expected behaviour for a leaked/beta ROM hence me not being able to find much information about it?
Is this a known problem with these ROMs? (I cannot find any particular reference to it on here or using google)
If the answer to these two questions is no, where should I be looking to try to rectify this?
Thanks
Chris
Having said that all the tests from androidlost come back OK I have just upgraded to the new version (2.17) which has more tests! Now it comes back with:
"Test no: 9
Sending push command from server
COULD NOT RECEIVE GOOGLE PUSH MESSAGE"
Update 2...
Phone now appears under list of devices on the Market Website.
I deleted my Google account from Settings > Accounts & Sync, then cleared the data from Google Services Framework in Settings > Applications
Then re-added the account under Settings > Accounts & Sync. I can also now remotely install apps from the market website.
All other problems still exist though...
Making progress....
Update 3 - Fixed, by doing the following:
Delete Google account.
Clear data from Google Services Framework.
Re-setup google account.
Uninstall Android Lost from the app (under advanced).
Re-Install Android Lost.
Open Android Lost
(Still does not work at this stage - Trouble shooter reports it has
picked up my work email address not by Google one)
Re-register Android Lost (under advanced).
Hey presto - it works! - and so does everything else
Hope this helps someone else in future!

Facebook and Accounts issue.

So, I bought a Sprint Note 5. First day of owning it, I rooted and flashed one of the deoxed roms listed on the site (sorry, can't recall which at the moment). Everything had been perfect with exception of one tiny thing. My contacts don't have photos assigned to them. I started to investigate my settings as to why Facebook hadn't syncd with them and noticed some users have an extra setting in their Facebook app than others. Mainly the sync contacts option. So, I went on over to my accounts tab under settings and noticed my Facebook account wasnt listed. When I clicked add account then clicked on Facebook, one of two things would happen. A. If I didn't have Facebook opened already, the screen would act as of it were about to load sobering then kick me back to the original accounts page under the note 5s system settings. Or, B. It would open my prelaunched facebook app. I think this maybe part of my problem, as it won't allow me to add my account and this sync my contacts with it. I'm not sure if this is due to removed features from the rom, a modified accounts.apk [if one exists. Was only able to locate the account and sigs for note 2] or possibly some missing services that were removed. What I was hoping for was if the accounts portion is actually an apk, if someone could attach a copy of it. Or, if someone knows why this would be happening, to fill me in. Thanks in advance.
I've had this issue too. Seems to be a feature that Facebook removed in one of the latest updates. My supervisor did not update his app in a while and he had the option in the app to sync contacts. I always update mine on all my devices and it was gone. Hopefully it is just an error and they bring back the option.

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.

[PX5][Android 9] Contact access problem

Hello,
Model: rk3368
MCU: MTCE_CHS_V3.15_1
I have a problem with accessing contacts and calendar from Google account. Most Google applications work correctly but Google Contacts says that I should log into my Google account (I am already logged in) but when I do the in app procedure it says that I am already logged in.
This problem shows up also in Waze app that has trouble accessing contacts. It seems like the problem is related to Android system because the same Waze version has no trouble with accessing the contacts on regular Android phone.
I'm running stock firmware. Maybe I should upgrade to Malaysk's version? Do you think it would help?
PS: I ran into this problem because I was trying to find an alternative to Google Maps because Google Maps widget with saved route was not working on this firmware (Google Maps was starting but into the main view instead of starting the route from the widget). Maybe someone could test on Malaysk's version that Google Maps widgets work correctly, please?
I'm here to tell you that I have the exact same problem with Google Contacts -- it is unable to display any of the contacts in my Google account (blank screen), and when I click on the profile button, it guides me through logging into my Google account, only to then tell me I am already logged into the same account.
I have a MTCE_HT_V2.84_1 unit here (Eonon GA9153A).

@cannondale0815 Would you be kind enough to check if you also are unable to search for your contacts in Waze? I clicked to allow contacts access in Waze when it asks but when I enter a name it shows nothing. The same when I search for contacts in the share ride view. I'm asking because I'm debugging this issue with Waze support for several months now.
I tried it yesterday but despite me authorizing Waze to access my contacts, nothing shows up. So I suppose it's the same issue you are seeing.
