Here is my issue, also want to mention I had the same issue with a completely stock inspire before ever flashing my ROM this week. Ever since I got my inspire months ago I had this issue....
My default account for work is set up on my phone..
Emails and calender sync without any issues (both ways)
Contacts will not sync from my phone.
If I enter a new contact on my work computer it will push to my phone but not the other way around.
I need my contacts off my phone sync to my work computer!
Settings on my phone for my default account is:
auto-sync
sync contacts (checked)
sync calendar (checked)
Automatic (push) selected
default account selected
When I do a manual sync, nothing. Tried rebooting and nothing, like I said had the same issue with stock ROM.
Everyone at work has the iphone (is what I had before and it sync without any issues) so I do not have anyone over here to compare or check with.
Any suggestions out there?
So everything else works except I can not sync contact from my phone to my computer...
Need to change up my question a little. I discovered that if I enter a new contact it does sync to my computer. But how do I sync my existing (580) contacts to my computer off my phone? If I go to my work computer under contacts it only shows the one or two I just tested, not the other 580 contacts......
Calendar and email work great both ways as always.....

You save bet would be to remove the contacts on your phone and then reload them, when you import them choose google and not phone.
Can you explain a little more please, not following you...
thanks

Ok your issue is with the contacts that are stored on your phone not syncing up to your account. how did the contacts on your phone get there? Did you import your contacts from sd card?
I did a backup before I flashed I guess. When I restored my back-up it installed all my contacts back.
I used TB for all my app back-ups before I flashed. If I recall before I even set up my work email on the new ROM I already had all my contact back. I assumed they came from the TB.

What did you use to back things up? Was it titanium back up or another app?
Yes sir TB, the paid version.

Ok here is what I would do as I never use TIBU to back up contacts. Go into people and hit menu, select export to SD card. Then try to re import them. It should ask you where you want to import them. Choose Google or you exchange account.
Well I guess what happens is that TB also backs up your data within you apps. I am using GO contacts. Thats how it backed up my contact I assume.
Will try what you just mentioned right now.

Yes it does and that why I dont use it for anything contact related as I believe (mind you this is just my 2 cents) that contacts are wrapped up in the system data as well. I normally just export all contacts to sd and then import them. I dont even use google to back them up lol

There is a little computer application that will sync your google contacts with outlook easily too but it's a little screwy sometimes.
I exported them to the SD card then I imported them back but It did not asked where to import them back to.
After it was finished they did not sync. Just to check it out I enter a NEW contact on my phone and sure enough it went to my computer. There is gotta be a way to put my existing contacts on my computer...
Also what to mention that when I exported them to my SD card, all my contacts were still on my phone (i checked after I exported) even though I did not import them yet. Is this right? Or should I export my contacts to my SD card then delete all contacts in my app then go back and import from my SD card?
Correction should I delete all contacts in my native contact list, not the app...then import from SD card
Hold on, my correction, it did ask what account to import them into and I did select the wrong account. Doing it now and importing them into my google email account as you mentioned.

Did importing them to your google account work? It should. just might have to force a refresh.
Yes I checked my google account and they are there, but I do not use my google account for anything other than the market. I am trying to get them on my exchange account at work.
Now I have three of everything in my contact list lol

Ok your exchange account should pick up your google contacts. I am not sure as to why they are not. When you set up your exchange account does it normally sync your google contacts to it? I am playing this by ear as I dont use exchange at all. (Pisses my IT guy right off)
Hi guys, just received my mate 7 32Gbps from.China with gmail and play store installed but it seems they forgot to add the contact sync option and it doesn't appear in the Google account option (I have only app, people contacts and email sync options).
Does anyone know how to retrieve my contacts and add this option on a chinese import mate 7 ???
Thanks for help
Im in the same space as you are maly348. Usually for Huawei i root the phone and rename that XML file in the china directory and that takes care of the contacts sync issue but none of my one click root programs work with the mate 7 yet.
I am willing to paypal $50 to anyone that can help me get this done!

You just need to install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.APK, that will enable you to sync your google contact. it is available in XDA forum please search for it. No need to root the phone for this function. It works on my Huawei P7 and Mate 7.
Hi suksanto
Thanks for this Input... It works just fine on my Mate 7 now!
Well done!
Thanks, it appears now but for whatever reason, it keep syncing non stop without stopping ... Which version of gapps did you install ?

I have downloaded the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from cyanogenmod.org, they have a section for Google Apps. I have installed it using the built-in File Manager as a non-market app, no need to root device, which is great. However I have two google accounts that I am using for sync (one for private and one for business) and I can only enable sync for one of them. The other one, when I enable auto sync, it appears as if it is enabled but then the auto sync is switched off. Any ideas of what may be wrong? I installed the latest google apps package GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from the cyanogenmod website, it is version 20140606 CM11.

Yes they are. I managed to now get both accounts to sync. After several attempts, the syncing switch finally stayed "on" for both.

Guys, I'm coming from the LG G2, still with a Kitkat Rom and planning to buy this phone. I played around with it in the store today and have some troubles understanding how it might work for me.
Example, I have about 3.500 contacts synced in my Google Account, neatly organized in Groups, which I use heavily and don't want to give up.
As I understand, Huawei uses its own contact manager as a substitute to the Google Contacts app, as far as I could see it would allow for Contact Groups also.
How would I go about using it? Google seems to be not supporting Groups anymore since Lollipop & Marshmallow (that's one of the reasons why I never updated my G2 with newer Roms). Although the contact manager from LG was always just a tuned version of the Google app, if I'm not wrong.
How did you get your existing contacts from your Google account into the Huawei Contact Manager? And did it transfer existing Groups also? The model they sell here seems to be the international version (L29).
Thanks for your help!
Nobody is using groups to organize their contacts? Wow, I thought it's more common...
Im sure there is a contactapp for you in the playstore
Yes, but the standard Google Marshmallow app doesn't support groups anymore..... Hmmm....
I can confirm now, that the group management works with the Huawei contact manager, if anybody has the same inquiry.

My contacts are managed on Exchange Outlook server. and I have no problems syncing them on Mate 8, as every group is present
Google Contacs
Is there any way to get Google contacts on Mate 8 NXT-AL10?
Play store say not compatible with you device. I have copied them from my other phone to this phone but would like to keep everything synced.
I got MIX 2s from HK with MIUI Global Stable 9.5.4.0 installed. Few troubles so far, pretty annoying tho. Phone came with ugly MI dialer/contact viewer and I cannot make it sync contacts on the phone with Office365 Outlook contacts. It seems to work from Outlook to the phone, but not the other way around. I tried Gmail, Outlook, Edison and few others. I tried Google contacts app, same story. Installed Google contacts sync app… still the same.
I used to have all previous phones do sync out of the box and it’s very strange that this phone cannot do that.
How it works on Chinese MIUI? Anyone has the same problem? I will flash Chinese ROM over, because it’s not going to work for me, I have over 1200 contacts and I have to manage them daily. I also phone sync contacts with Facebook photos.

The dialer / contact viewer are the same in chinese/global roms....well i don't think they're that ugly.
Did you check permissions for Office365?
I think the problem is not enough permissions.

It seems to be. I tried all MIMIX2s ROMs i could find... Chinese dev/stable, Global 18, Global 5, eu.xiaomi. All pretty much the same: small icons, tiny fonts, very bad notification, unstable brightness control. Not surprise as it all based on MIUI. This is my first Xiaomi device and i would say, i just hate MIUI, period.
Android P Beta ROM was awesome and all contact sync worked fine, it's way faster than MIUI original, but heavier battery drain. Problem is it keeps shutting the phone off here and there and it needs to be powered up. Will try it again with the different launcher next week. in addition to all bugs listed already, i found that latest Instagram app will crash on sign in, older version of app is fine

Yes, I had this problem with syncing google contacts on the China Rom. You need to go into the permissions and allow access to modify contacts for anything to do with Office365. Can post screenshots if that helps.

Thank you
Sorry im now on global ROM which has a slighly different permission system.
On China rom - in Settings -> All Apps find Outlook or anthing related like Office 365 etc.
Click on each app and click on permissions - then find contact sync or similar and turn on the setting.

Quick update.... Fixed. I just got MIUI V9.5.19.0 and sync works fine both ways. I guess it was something Xiaomi new about
Hello guys.
The forum for this device was a bit quiet so i figured I'd jump in.
My P50 Pro should arrive here in the states in a couple days. Ordered the CN model from WondaMobile.
Currently using a P40 pro without any Google hacks. Other than micro G to make notifications work on a few apps. Along with YouTube vanced.
I'll update this post once i get the device in. I'm really excited though. I'm still semi new to Huawei devices and I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time.
Anyone else have any experiences importing the Chinese model in? I've imported and used China model Xiaomi phones on CN ROM without issues in the past. My P40 pro is a global model though. Id imagine it's as simple as setting to English and deleting Chinese bloat.
You'll be now a target for secret services !!! )
A new traitor ... ) Hahaha ...
On Huawei phone(s) is not so much bloatware, maybe just few preinstalled sugestions for apps; on global models, I don't know about CN models ...
I bought Huawei (global) models since the Ascend P6 (P6, P7, P9, P10 lite, Mate10 pro, P40 pro, Mate40 pro).
Is not such a big deal without GMS, we can live without it very good. Since the ban, I bought P40 pro (I had installed GMS on it from the start) and Mate40 pro (nothing about GMS here).
Yes, we have few limitations without GMS, but I think we can live with them like so.
MicroG, YouTube vanced, Curve or iCard for banking apps substitute ... is not ideal, but we can go further.
Well guys. I'm going to a longer write up when I get some time. But here are just a few quick thoughts
Camera specifically pictures are great.
I banged my head for a while trying to get microG to stay active in background for my notifications on apps from Aurora store.
Micro G + Aurora and really don't miss Google very much. Apart from Google photos which is going to be a process b
I also purchased a Matebook 14s, Free buds pro and Watch 3.
Matebook and phone integration is honestly superior to Apples in my opinion. Freebuds switches between the two incredibly intuitively and fast.
That's about all for my initial thoughts for now.
I ran into a really weird issue. I had micro G installed for push notifications initially it kept dying in the background despite battery optimization being turned off as well as being locked in the drawer.
I noticed the "app launch" setting wouldn't allow me to manage micoG core manually and let it autostart etc. It literally didn't appear even when selecting show system process.
I installed, uninstalled over and over. I tried different forks etc
One time I added stock MicroG via repo on Fdroid and BAM it showed up in the app launch settings to control it manually and allow autostart. IT WORKED FLAWLESSSLY. Stable notifications from that point forward.
Well I screwed around and factory reset my phone for another reason. Now I cannot get MicroG core to show up under app launch to allow it to be manually managed. Therefore it keeps dying in the background. Does anyone have any clue how I made it work the first time around? and why it won't show up to manage manually anymore in the "app launch" setting??
Alright guys I banged my head on this wall for a LONG time but I've done it. I've got stable 95% working GMS on this p50 pro kirin chip model. No micro G BS. Full GMS.
I basically used Average Logs guide on youtube to install Googlefier and the Chinese looking Google install app. BUT after that I stopped following his guide and just followed the actual Googlefier steps.
Playstore opens, and lets me download everything. LOTS of apps give a play protect warning but goes away and lets you open the app. Then you can disable Google Play Protect notifications in the notification settings for each individual app. Once you disable it most apps work complete fine, although some are bit turbulent and slow getting started for the first time you launch them. Some of them have some quirky behavior as well.
But the following APPs are working for me, to the point where they either function completely normally or 95% normally.
Google App
Youtube (wants you to update play services to Cast videos to my Google Home which I don't want to do in fear of breaking my set up)
Youtube Music
Youtube TV
Google Voice
Google Photos
Gmail (although it pesters you a bit a pop in app that can be dismissed and functions fine)
Google Chrome
Google Messages works fine (I've almost got RCS working as well but it seems hung up at connecting)
Google Dialer.
Google Drive
Google Maps signed in works but has a consistent occasional play protect warning that doesn't hinder use.
I cannot get Google TV app to open at all
Google Home seems like a complete no go.
Google Assistant will open and let you tinker a bit but can't respond to queries nor reach the server.
Overall I'm pretty happy. Phone is great. Notifications are completely stable. and most google apps work without issue.
Let's hope the next harmonyOS update doesn't break it. Also disable autoupdates on Google Play services because I think a newer version will break it.
hi. can you please tell me if your system haptics are working fine?
i mean on the dialer when you press numbers, do you have vibration feedback or only sound?
and on which firmware version are you?
thanks

When I push buttons on my dialer I only get sound. No vibration. But I think there was a settings toggle to enable it. I don't remember. I'm on 2.0.0.235

thanks for answer
the same here. no option to turn it on. i think is some kind bug. on my p40 pro with haptics on on dialer there was vibration
To update my thread, even though it's a ghost town. Sad because this is a great device.
I was able to get RCS Chat working today with the Google Messages app.
Two days ago I was an IDIOT and cleared all data on Google Play services trying to get Google Home to work (Despite the fact I barely use it instead I use HASS)
Somehow it ended up updating my Play services which broke everything. I then redid the Googlefier method and it completely installed GMS without any issues. THIS Time however it completely installed GMS with ZERO play protect pop ups. Which sounds great right? Completely stable GMS right?
Well the problem is now notifications were completely broken. I'd rather have have the 90% working GMS AND push notifications than 100% working without PUSH.
So after tinkering for a bit I got it back to the way I had it prior to. Most Google apps work completely fine after the first play certified warning. Then you can silence those. And push notifications work fine. It's something to do with the Google Framework Services step on Googlefier. You have to actually mess up the proper instructions. Not sure what specifically at this point.
Thanks for the various updates. I have been using a P50 Pro since September and am really happy with it. However, to me, the various options for installing GMS are a bit like trying to crack a nut with a sledgehammer. And even after all of the installation etc. you have to freeze play service which effectively turns off app updates, so that seems to take away most of the benefit of all that hard work?
The simplest option (for me at least) was to use GSpace and just clone any apps that I needed (really just Google Photos and a few others that use the maps api) into the GSpace area. You can even create homescreen shortcuts. You can also achieve the same with Vmos.
Everything else works just fine within Harmony OS and no problem with any notifications for all other apps like WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram etc. Curve works well in Harmony OS as an alternative to Google Pay. Various app updates via APK Pure.
But no matter how you approach it, it's still a great phone!
hi
did any one of you received firmware updates ever? and which country you have set in the phone?
i see that in china new firmware is rolling out.
HarmonyOS 2.0.1.195 SP5 update
I set up the phone in Europe. and have had a few updates (maybe 2 or 3?) Currently on HarmonyOS 2.0.0.235 but presume the update you refer to will roll out over the coming week or so.
Thanks for the thread here. My question: I do not know if I installed micro G correctly. Main problem for now is that I use a gmail account for my contacts and calendar. The synchronization does not work for me. That mean, I get my contacts only by importing them to my smartphone. Should this work with micro G? I also can not find a good tutorial eg on Youtube or maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Got my P50 pro today; in itself completely thrilled.
Thanks for your help!
hi. anyone received this new firmare update?
@Flying Fox: you have to import your contacts on the Huawei ID.
If you have an old Huawei with GMS it's easy, you can login with your Huawei ID on it, import your contacts from gmail account to your Huawei ID, then you can login with your Huawei ID on the new phone and sync your contacts.
Be sure you will add the new contacts into your Huawei ID (on your new phone).
If you don't have an old Huawei to do that, you can save contacts on the old phone as vCars, export that file on the new phone, then import contacts from vCard file on the Huawei ID.

Thank you very much for your help. The problem is that appointments and new contacts are not synchronized. I think therefore rather to create a new email account, eg outlook or protonmail.
However, I think that micro g does not work for me. Currently I am trying to transfer my signal account (from my Oneplus 6 pro). This also does not seem to work. Or can it be that this does not work at all.... ? Thx!!
btw, does anyone know a tutorial for installing micro g that works under emui 12.01? On youtube I found a very good one in german, only it doesn't seem to work for me...
You can uninstall all you have about vanced and microG.
Then, on vancedapp.com, you can find Vanced manager. Install it, open it and find there YouTube vanced and Vanced microG.
Install both without open them.
Then, into phone settings - apps -apps - microG settings, you can turn off Cloud messaging first, then turm off Cloud device registration. Open YouTube vanced and login with your account.
Now you must have usable YouTube vanced and microG.
On Mate40 pro, without GMS aswell, I use Yahoo mail for gmail and yahoo accounts, and Business calendar pro for events.
Try that way ...
LE: you have contacts imported on Huawei ID allready and doesn't sync ? (and in the phonebook set to show your Huawei ID contacts)

Thank you very much. However, I did not mean youtube vanced, but the installation of microG (i.e. GmsCore and MicroG Framework) for the functionality of various apps, push notifications and account synchronization. Thanks anyway!!!
Full GMS working now
no problem
