Google Account Syncs Contacts, Despite Being Disabled - General Questions and Answers

I can't have my own email servers, because Google considers anything not from gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc to be spam. So I use a gmail account and need to have a google account in my phone. I use Nextcloud and DAVx5 to sync some files and contacts, so I disabled the google account's contact sync.
Since I imported my contacts into Nextcloud/DAVx5, I deleted the google versions of said contacts. However, despite google contacts sync being disabled, this deleted all my contacts over at gmail and contacts.google.com.
Is there a way to positively DISABLE contacts sync with my google account?
ps. Notice how I didn't bother to post this at Google support?

Complete sync with google and outlook?

Hi
I want to sync all my contacts, task and multiple calendars with google services, but google sync only offers to me one calendar and contacts.
If I want too push email and sync with my computer too in order to sync other non google programs I lose the exchange service from google, so I cant get push email, and that syncs.
Any service or app that I can use to get push, all the calendars, task, etc etc from google, and sync too with my computer all in one?
If its free it will be great.
thanks for all
Inesoft Calendar (free trial) pretends to offer this service, not push, but syncing multiple google calendars in both ways + integrated Outlook calendar.
I tried and didn't like, but could be the app you're looking for (push/active sync mail still available for Google Mails / contacts)

[Q] An app or way to sync contacts, email, and other stuff without google?

As a lawyer, I need to be able to sync my phone to and fro with confidentiality for my clients. I was able to do this before with my palm treo(legacy device), but now that I have made the leap into the new smartphone age I realized that androids sync with google on pretty much everything so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to sync all of the stuff on my sensation without sending any information to google.
Also what is this tmobile theme engine they are talking about in this post:

When setting up your phone & using a gmail account, go to Accounts & Sync & uncheck syncing of contacts.
Then you can setup your e-mail accounts & contacts through HTC's exchange setup. This will not go throught google but will sync your phone to the exchange account directly.
Contact Sync
You could try using Microsoft Exchange as your email client. I use Exhange along with with my google email.
omar when i go into accounts and sync there is no feature to stop the syncing of contacts and also what is this htc exchange setup. Also i checked my gmail account and the contacts that are synced on it are only from the ones i input into google voice not my phone, but some contacts that are favorited on my phone show up on my gmail contacts as starred on android. So here is what im wondering: Does the phone only sync the contacts on my google account not all the contacts on my phone that i transfered for example from another phone

Your phone should sync each type of contacts seperatelty.
As for accounts and sync, tap on your google account and it'll open an another screen were you can choose (check) what you want to sync.
htc exchange, by going to accounts & sync > Add Account > Exchange ActiveSync.
This is only in case you have an Exchange Server to sync with.
I exchange email via Gmail only from my PC. I also have that same account setup on my phone (it is not used there), since Android requires it.
Since I do not want my Contacts/clients residing on Google's servers, I have Gmail sync turned off.
With Gmail sync turned off, can I now configure another non-Gmail email account, have it sync with my PC (direct via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), without these Contacts ending up on Google servers?

Why cant I give an account name to my gmail account in the gmail app?

It allows me to name any other account (outlook, yahoo, etc) but not my gmail account. Does this feature not exist?

Disable Gmail account in Gmail app?

My Google account has a spare Gmail account associated with it that I don't want to appear in the Gmail app. I use the Gmail app with other, non-Gmail email accounts that I have.
Is there any way to disable the Gmail account from appearing at all in the Gmail app (and Calendar app, for that matter)? Simply telling Android not to sync the Gmail portion of my Google account isn't enough to do anything.

Google Account only shows Chrome under sync

Hello,
I was having a problem with Google syncing my calendar to the Samsung calendar, so I tried everything I could to sync before I finally just removed my Google Account from the phone and re-added it. Now under Accounts >Google > Sync account I am only seeing Chrome, and missing calendar, gmail, contacts, etc. Has anyone ever encountered this problem or have an idea on how to fix it?
