Hi.
Ive been trying to sync my contacts from my phone to my gmail for a few days now.
It syncs without any errors. but when i check my gmail i only have the 64 email contacs i had b4 imade the sync.
also if i check the people tab in the phone the 64 email contacts are also shown there but none of my phone contacts..
I think i should have everything setup right, in the gmail sync the contacts thing is checked and everything..
Anyone know what could be wrong? been syncing few times a day to see if it got any better...
Sorry for my bad english.
Can it go both ways? I thought it was from Gmail to phone, but not back?
hmm i tought both ways? :S

Hmmm, mine has just started having this issue. I could sync from the phone to google contacts a couple of days ago however now even when creating a google contact on the phone its not appearing in the gmail website contacts list
Edit:
Seems to be syncing now >_<
Ok i exported all my contacts to windows contacts, then exported them from there and then imported them to Gmail.
Thanks for helping me understand what was going on here

Need to solve this, tryed everything I could think off and still not working.
I'm unable to sync contacts from People to Gmail.
Tryed with usual google sync (calendar, contacts, gmail) and I think it worked once right after I started phone first time, not really sure though since I deleted all contacts and transfered from my Nokia phone.
After that I deleted all my GMAIL contacts since it was regular garbage and tryed sync with phone. I just can't transfer contacts from phone to gmail.
Tryed running exchange account, I added it, mail syced but contacts wouldn't...
Is that bug with Desire or I'm doing something wrong?
Maybe gmail can't take phone number contacts?
Help
I was wondering this too.
From my old nokia I copied contacts to Sim
In my desire i copied contacts to phone from sim.
The contacts never get pushed to Google.
I also had a tricky time setting this up to work correctly...
The best way to sync contacts between Google and your Desire is to have them on Google from the start.
I had a Nokia 5800 before this and I synced my contacts into Outlook then found a programme to sync Outlook with Gmail - my contacts then got pushed to my Desire.
If you want to push contacts from your Desire to Gmail/Google, they have to be created as Google contacts.
I could be wrong but i don't think there's a way around this... I haven't found it anyway!
Yes, contacts on Phone don't get synced with gmail, only contacts which you save under "Google".
I'm still have second thoughts about concerning privacy since in all my contacts there are birthdays, private phones, other info, emails... basicly if I sync it google by just comparing emails can collect a lot of info on any of my contacts.
Sucky.
I've had my phone with me for awhile now, and so far so good and I've been regularly syncing with Gmail.
A couple of days back, when I wanted to send an e-mail from my computer, the list of contact suggestions that would automatically pop out as you type your contact's name wouldn't come out.
I found this strange, so I checked my contact book (from inside gmail on the computer). To my horror, the contact(s) were gone!
I've also noticed weird folders in my gmail, most that begin with "[IMAP]/" followed by drafts, inbox, etc
I checked my android, under the people app, and the contact's phone number, along with their email was still listed in my phone.
I've been searching around, and I understand that some people are having this problem in reverse, whereby contacts are disappearing from their android. Not much help there, I suppose.
So my question is; is this an android sync problem, or is gmail getting iffy?
I've now taken a precaution and have exported a back up of my gmail contacts in csv. ... but.. you can never know when this will happen again.
Pardon me if I sound noob-ish. The android is my first smartphone
Edit: Today it happened again. I seem to be losing contacts everyday. Even now my gmail chat client on the left seems to be missing contacts.
the imap folders etc you can turn off in the gmail settings server side not mobile side
Thank you
Any idea about the missing contacts?
Hi guys,
first of all i'm sorry for my english, but it's not my first language.
I've a issue with the syncronization of the facebook contacts with the default address book of my wildfire.
I installed the facebook app, and i set it to syncronize all the contacts by facebook-settings-sincronize...
Now in the addressbook i see all my facebook contacts, all my gmail contacts, but only gmail contacts with a pic loaded on gmail have a pic on the address book.
So the great part of the contacts haven't a pic.
How can i do?
I'm using the last cyano nightly.
Please don't suggest me to use SyncMyPix, i don't like that app, it makes my address book too much slow.
I want a "clean" solution. Before i flashed my Wildfire, with the stock ROM, i visualized all the pics =/
you could try this app from the market it works well. you can sync ur contacts photos from facebook..

Thank you very much for the reply, but few hours ago i solved my issue installing FriendCaster for Facebook. However thanks
your welcome..
how does friendcaster work? syncs the existing contacts only or all?
It works great! It syncs all contacts and you can also use HQ pics. Try it and told me what do you think
I've recently had this problem, only a few contact images were visible after syncing using the Facebook app. For me, it seemed that the photos which were synched were the ones which you have previously loaded up on the Facebook app.
I got around the problem by clicking onto my friends list within the Facebook app, and scrolling through the list waiting for each of the profile pictures to load up. Once I'd got to the bottom of the list I went back to contacts on the phone all of the images were visible!
Slightly strange workaround but now all my contact images are visible and they all update as they should.
try reinstalling it
I sync to hotmail for all my personal contacts and all of a sudden this morning none of my hotmail contacts are showing in my phone. Nothing has changed since last night and when I look in the account settings it is set up to sync contacts. Also when I go online my contacts are still in hotmail. My hotmail account is set up as an exchange active sync account and up until today it worked fine with no issues.
When I go into the contacts app I don't have any contacts for that account and when I go into groups its not even listed there at all as an account. But like I said in the account settings it is listed as syncing contacts.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this and fixed it? Or have any idea what causes it? Is it just some server issue on the hotmail side that will clear itself up randomly like it glitched out randomly? I highly doubt it's related but my phone has been unable to connect to the at&t update servers for a while now and never got the ota update I've heard about. TIA for any help.
EDIT: so I tried deleting the account and re-adding it and now some contacts are showing but not all even though the account sync shows completed. And for a second the account was listed in the contact app groups and then I literally watched it disappear. I am completely at a loss here.
I'm experiencing the same problem and can’t find a solution.
Not only my hotmail contacts keep disappearing from my standard contacts-app, also my hotmail-emails and agenda items keep disappearing. A few minutes later my smartphone tells me I’ve got new emails, but it just downloaded them back to my smartphone. The same with the contacts and agenda-items.
I already did a hard reset with my smartphone, but it keeps deleting everything from hotmail.
When I disable the synch-options for that account, it doesn’t delete my mails, contacts and agenda, but then again I have to manually look for new emails.
EDIT: I just noticed, when de synch-option is disabled for contacts, my smartphone randomly deletes everything from hotmail including the contacts. Only the contacts stay deleted, while emails and agenda-items are downloaded again.
So it probably has to be an issue with Galaxy S3 or Anroid.
I've got: Model GT-I9300 with Android-version: 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Just like "erikk" my Hotmail account is set up as an Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account.
Hi all,
I encountered a rather specific issue, and i cannot resolve it.
I had to send my HTC 10 to service, and as a replacement i had iPhone 6.
I synced my google account on it, and normally used gmail and all contacts synced properly.
Now i returned to HTC 10 and i cannot sync back all contacts the the phone.
I am checking on web, on my gmail account, all contacts are still there, but on HTC 10, both People and google Contacts application for some reason cannot show all contact.
I tried reinstalling, resyncing, deleting app cache and data, restarting phone multiple times...
I tried also so isolate, if those contacts maybe have some fields that cause an issue on sync, so those contacts cannot be pulled on the phone, but 3 weeks ago i had them all normally on the phone....
The contacts that dont want to sync, haven't been newly created on iPhone, all those i had on my gmail account for ages now...
Any idea where to go on from here, who to contact?
Thank you, BR
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.
