after installing android 2.2 update on my incredible, all my gmail contacts are gone from my phone AND from my gmail account! all my non gmail contacts are still there. anyone know how to fix this issue???
Man I am so sorry. I have no idea, hopefully someone will have an idea. Perhaps you can contact google and see if they can restore?
My MIL has this thing where once a year she loses all her email and contacts on yahoo.(personally I think it's something she's doing) and harasses them until they are able to restore it or most of it anyway. Perhaps that would work with google. maybeee...

In short, I've synced contacts between Gmail and my phone. However I have contacts on my phone, that do not appear on Gmail as I've mentioned in another post. In fact, I've got about 715 contacts that are supposed to be synced but 615 on my Gmail under All Contacts.
However I think I've figured something out.
Even though I've sent a support request to HTC, I don't think this is a handset issue simply because while some issues are probably initial sync duplicates or fragments (which I did find - I think) I've got entries like a restauurant which I know I have been to, but appears on my phone and not on Gmail. Now, considering the phone only got contacts from Gmail, either my Gmail has some data that I can't see (and I've searched in a few ways), or my phone is quite a smart smartphone.
Me thinks it's Google Gmail. Any ideas?
I don't know how I managed it, but recently I somehow accidentally synchronised all my contacts with my gmail contacts - to which there are HUNDREDS. Literally every person I have ever sent an email to or received an email from, all sorts, all jumbled together. It's even mixed in with all the people I follow on twitter and I can't get rid of them (I tried deleting the twitter account off the phone completely and even though it says it'll remove all twitter contacts, it doesn't).
It's looking as though I'm going to have to manually go through them all and delete every contact I don't want, then manually link all the contacts together that should be linked (facebook-google-sim-etc.).
What's the best way to do this? I have over 900 contacts now, whereas before I had maybe 40 or 50. Is there an app or a piece of sync software that'll let me do it from a computer? Doing from the phone is extremely slow and tedious =\

delete all the unnecessary contacts out of gmail?
when I synced gmail contacts to my phone and latter my FB account, it automagically linked the contacts that it found numbers in common with, I didnt have to do anything there!
are all the contacts on gmail now or between the different services?
Hi guys,
I have an unlocked Desire that I bought from ebay. I can't be certain if it's been factory unlocked or if someone along the way unlocked it. Regardless, it's not rooted, so it would have had to have been using an unlock code?
Anyway the issue that I have is that I can't sync my contacts. Most of my contacts have no phone numbers associated, except for a few which I guess it may have grabbed from FB, or ones that were on my SIM? My prev phone was a Magic, I never had this issue with it.
Either way, I have plenty of contacts that I can view through gmail that have numbers associated, that don't have them on my phone.
I also only have the people app, not the standard contacts app from google that should let me sync. Is that normal on the Sense run Desire? If so, how do I sync my contacts? I've been through accounts/sync and of course am signed in to my google account, so I don't know what the deal is?
Is there an issue, or am I just not syncing correctly? Is it some settings in my google account that I need to adjust online?
Thanks for any assistance guys.
*EDIT* so in the 30 seconds since I posted this, I signed out of my FB app, and back in, and then suddenly my google account started syncing and BLAM, there they are. Mods, please delete?

yeah facebook is a bastard at times
This thread should remain here, but maybe locked, others might want to read it having the same issue.
OK so here is my problem. I got my phone and was very excited. I started it up and set up my google account (not actually knowing that it was not the sense delivered one). Ok all is fine there... but I wanted to use the HTC Sense email client with m.google.com exchange service.
So I went and stopped the syncing from google. I then went and created a m.google.com exchange account and am getting my mail just fine... but now when I go into the people tab everything appears fine, but when I click on a contact I see 2 of almost everything. I unchecked see google contacts. But when you open it apparently already "linked" the google contact with the excahgne contact.
So, my question after all this is how do I clear all the google contacts and leave the exchange server contacts? will it take a reset? I would prefer not to have to do that.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well from the response I guess I will have to go with a reset.
Oh well. If someone does know a way please let me know.
Thanks,

Sent from my HTC Incredible.
Log into your gmail account, click on contacts. You should be able to delete them from there and it should remove them from your phone for you.
OK thanks for that. but the problem there is my Exchange is with Google.... and my google is with google.
So I exported all my contact both the google and the exchange (even though they are the same) to my SD card. I also exported them from google to a CVS file.
So I went into google contacts and deleted all of my contacts. I then went to my phone and did a "Sync" for my exchange and my google account. This removed all my contacts except facebook... GREAT. half way there.
Know I imported only my exchange contact back to my exchange account. Even better if linked my facebook and I see all my contacts (With Pictures) in people.
BUT here is the bad part. when I do a sync with Exchange all my contacts disappear again. What is going on? can I not update my contact from my phone to my exchange (remeber this is google exchange m.google.com).
Please give me some direction. I know that I can import the CVS file in google and only sync with exchange but I will loose all the pictures (250 contacts and almost everyone has a image even BW3's gets a food image ).
I dont want ot have to manually add all those pictures back. and the import on the phone seemed to work great. but it is not pushing the contacts out to google. Any advice would be great.
Kind Regards,
SoBBie
OK so I did the entire process again and it seem to take. I know see my contacts out on google.
Thanks for you help.

The way my phone is currently set up is through my WLID and through an exchange connection. All of my contacts are pulled in through my exchange connection and that is how I view them on the phone. However, for future back up purposes, is there anyway to force them to synchronize through my WL connection as well? They don't seem to be getting saved on the WL server, I'm assuming to avoid redundant situations...
Bump, anybody have any ideas with this?

I don't know the answer, but don't you have good backup through your exchange account?
It does seem like this is nothing to do with the phone: you just want to sync your exchange account, or some parts of it, with a windows live account.
My guess is you'd probably need specialized software for this, or some way to program Outlook to do this.
Definitely not worth it, anyway, if what you want is backup.
Well, no, I just also want my contacts synced through my WL account, so if I write an email from WLMail the contacts are there, which they aren't... And for the day I'm finished with school and no longer have that exchange.
