contacts keep syncing - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
I have multiple google accounts on my s10. I have selected only 1 account to sync contacts ( in the accounts section ) other accounts the contacts block is unchecked. I have wiped contact storage. the phone then syncs the account contacts of only the account i checked. This works for a day or 2 , however 2 or 3 days later or second day, the contacts from ALL accounts are synced and I can then see all the contacts from all the accounts on the phone. The other accounts contacts sync block remains unchecked but it still syncs. I have to delete the contact storage for it to only sync the contacts from that one account. But then again the same thing happens 2 or 3 days later all contacts resync.
I ONLY want to sync the contacts from that one account, not all of them. The others are all unchecked and this keeps happening. I don't want to hard reset. Any ideas ?
I am wondering, can it be an app syncing contacts even though it is unchecked to syn contacts in the accounts section ?

[Q] Contacts Sync Problem

Hi,
I just got my phone 2 days ago and trying to get my gmail contacts to my phone. I have configured my gmail account in my phone by going into settings --> Accounts & Sync and adding an Account. I have chosen only Contacts (not mail or calendar).
Now when I open up Contacts app and go into the Menu to View --> "gmail account" and select the group I want it to display, only a partial list of my contacts are displayed. For example, I have 99 contacts in gmail group, I am able to view only about 15 or so of them on the phone.
I have tried syncing up several times but kinda hit the wall now.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Are you only seeing contacts that have phone numbers? Or do all 99 have phone numbers?
Atleast about 70 of them have phone numbers.
The issue got fixed when I did a factory reset and reentered the google account information again. This is not a good thing but did get the job done.

[Q] How to sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com

How do i sync sms and contacts with htcsense.com ?
I can log in to htcsense.com and make my phone ring and i can lock the phone.
But i want the rest that is shown in this video.

I don't know when they stopped having it look like that, but I think it automatically syncs.
I exchanged my Sensation today & when I signed in the my htcsense account on my phone it started to sync the contacts & texts back to my phone. I really wish there was a way to disable it actually.
You can disable sync, but then you will not be able to track your phone i guess.
I don't understand why i can't see all options.
If I'm going to do a hard reset, then i want to know if my data is in sync with htcsense.com or not...
see that's what sucks. I'd like it to be synced to htcsense, but I don't want my contacts/sms synced. i hope they fix that. right now if I sync it up then it will pull down my contacts & there will be duplicates which I don't want.
After sync with htcsense.com, I did a hard reset of the phone.
The contacts and the messages was not restored to my phone when i again performed a sync with htcsense.com
There was no important sms on my phone and i had all my contacts synchronized with gmail, so no problem losing it.
Apps was not restored when logging on to marked.

Exchange Account/Calendar Sync Problems

I noticed today that I lost sync between my corporate Exchange calendar and my phone. I tried to check the Corporate Sync account settings, but when I clicked on the Account, it brought up a dialog for my Picasa account. I deleted that account, then the Corporate Sync account was not listed. But Exchange email was still syncing, and when I tried to add a new Exchange account, it notified me that the account already existed (even though it was not shown in the list of accounts).
So, I did a factory reset, added the Google and Exchange accounts, restored apps and data (except for Accounts), and the Exchange calendar then showed up again and the Corporate Sync account appeared in the Accounts list. Then I rebooted, and the Corporate Sync account has disappeared from the list, Exchange calendar is gone again, but my Exchange email still works.
This problem has just started in the last few days, I'm running stock 2.3.6 root. Any ideas?

Sync contacts to second Gmail

I have 2 gmail accounts. My phone's contacts sync to the first account I entered. I want the phone to sync to the second account, not the first. I turned off the contact sync on the first account, and turned it on for the second account, but the phone will not sync (download or upload) contacts with the second account.
I have a Samsung i897 Captivate running Cyanogenmod 9.
How can I get the phone to sync contacts with the second Gmail account?

I case anyone else has this problem, I thought I would post what worked for me.
I had the contacts entered on my phone, and they were associated with gmail account 1. Of course, they would not sync with account 2. I used Contac_BackupPro to backup the contacts from the phone to its SDcard. I copied them to my PC. I went on gmail account 2, and imported them. That got them into the acccount I wanted them associated with.

Problem with contacts sync

Hi,
I've noticed that my contacts are not able to sync with google. This never was a problem till the time I rooted and eventually started flashing ROMs.
I simply try to sync contacts by :
Contacts --> Accounts--> sync contacts , gmail etc--> the sync finishes but no numbers are synced.
The usual gmail account info comes up but without the phone numbers.
Any inputs people?
