Hi all I received my new Desire Tuesday on 3UK network, but I have a few questions I was hoping you could help me with.
I currently have all my contact saved to the Desire is there a way I can delete them all off my Desire and get my contact list to look at my google contacts to save space on my Desire ?
I have installed Handcent but now I get two SMS notifications for every SMS I get one on the default and one on the Handcent this also happens when I receive an email how can I stop this ?
hi
on the contacts i dont know but whit the sms notifications you have to turn it off in the stock sms settings
Google contacts are the best way to keep your contacts on any android phone.
They actually sync with your phone, your phone doesn't look them up online so it takes the same amount of data as having them on your phone in any other way.
Google contacts just makes it a lot simpler to resync your contacts on new phones etc.

Ok I have just checked my Gmail contact on the PC and the contact I deleted on my Desire as been deleted on my PC I wasnt aware of this I thought that the contact list on the PC was master but obviously not
I recently wiped my old decks rom bc i was tired of the bugs & crappy battery life. I installed a new rom and went to use gmail which syncs my contacts. But the latest contacts I had synced on my account are not in there...Is there anyway to get them back? I thought once you synced them up they were always tied to your account once you logged in?
bump anyone? Would like to fix this
You must of turned sync off before, or recent would be there too

Well I remember when I input the phone # it asked do u want to sync the number with google or Not Sync and just have it in the phone. I always choose SYNC with GOOGLe. But once I wiped my rom & installed a new one all the new contacts are gone =( & I didnt backup bc I didnt plan to use that ROM again...
The ones you synced with Google should come back if you:
Go to settings
Accounts and sync
Select your gmail
Click "sync contacts " then they should be there

Hi I am using the Touchwiz Rom for Htc Wildfire (Buzz) and for some reason, since day one, I have noticed that even though I have checked the Auto-sync setting under Accounts & Sync, all my contacts stored with my Google account don't seem to sync..........can somebody tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!
Have you flashed correct gapps?
I'd try removing my google account and re-inserting it...

Try Contacts Sync fix app from play store.
Name i might be forgetting but its definately contacs sync sumthing..
Press thanks if it helps..
Is this possible? got an issue with the default built in app and syncing with an exchange account. all set up and working fine, but the sync options seem to be missing the option of when to sync, got it set to push, but no option for peak times and quiet times/off peak (ie night, weekend) where it will be manual sync. It's just set to push all the time.
My old HTC Desire had this function years back, as did my S2 etc.
Tried a few free alternatives from the play store but they use quite a lot of battery.
Would quite happily just install the stock android app you get on the nexus, but not sure that's possible without rooting?

I don't use gmail, it's a corporate/work exchange account.
I use hotmail app for my hotmail and that works fine, but the built in sync for exchange doesn't do the above.
Hello everyone,
My device is G4, LG-H815 variant and it's updated to Android 5.1, not rooted. My problem: there seems to be no way to import Facebook contacts to contacts list.
I have migrated all my settings and apps from my G3 using LG Backup successfully. The Facebook and Messenger apps work fine, show all my contacts, and are configured to sync contacts. I have also gone into Contacts settings and made sure Facebook sync is enabled. But no matter how long I wait (1 day), only my Gmail contacts show. There also seems to be no syncing option for Messenger.
Things I've tried to no avail:
- rebooting
- reinstalling Facebook and Messenger app and configuring them from a scratch
- restarting Contacts app
- unsyncing and syncing again
- removing my Facebook account and adding it again

I always turned Facebook sync off, I never use it [emoji14], but I'll try to give you some suggestions.
1. have you tried setting Contact to display in contact app settings to All contacts?
2. is the contact sync in the Facebook app settings turned on for all contact?
that's as far as I know in android syncing. if it doesn't work, maybe the other could help you. sorry!

Same issue
Thank god I'm not the only one with this issue!! I thought I was going mad. I just got this phone & not used to LG phones.
Okay, so I haven't done as much as you, I have uninstalled/reinstalled fb and msngr though & still nothing. When I select to see only fb or msngr contacts it shows none, only myself.
I'm slowly losing hope to see a resolution as this is the first post I've seen with this issue!
I will keep checking this thread Thanks for posting

I feel just the same. I can confirm than syncing worked just fine on my LG G3. With G4, it looks just like the Contacts app doesn't see my Facebook account for some reason, regardless of the settings.
Same thing is happening to me... Any of you with this problem have a second phone? I have an s6 with no sync problems for work in addition to my g4. My only possible thought is some how that is affecting my lg...? Hopefully someone figures this out ASAP
Been talking to UK LG Mobile Support today, their advice is to enable syncing from Facebook app's settings. When told that this didn't work for me, they said they're not aware of anybody having this issue. So, has anybody solved this yet?
Alright, here's the reason behind the problem:
Apparently Facebook no longer supports syncing for Android devices. Just like that. As confirmed by Facebook itself under a link I can't post.

Hey there,
Poked around a bit more...not sure that is true. Seems like a lot of internet BS generated from frustrated people with the same problem we are having. There are no concrete facts from Facebook or Google that currently support that theory.
On another note, this problem started happening on my G4 about two weeks ago, at which time it was synced to my facebook contacts prior...so, it may be possible a software update was pushed and this functionality was not carried over?
My current workaround (i'm not giving up on this, don't worry)...buy/borrow an older android device from a friend or off CL, sync your facebook, manually program the names of the contacts you need from facebook sync on that phone to your G4...I already tried exporting the CSV from my work phone to my G4 with no luck of carrying over my facebook contacts.

Facebook changed the api download most of the photo sync apps from the appstore they do nothing now

I spent three awesome hours last night pretending like it was 2002 and manually copying numbers from my work phone to my new phone since it is still sync'd with facebook...at least now they are permanently in my google account
Had the same issue. I uninstalled the FB updates to factory. Re-syncedb and set Facebook to manual updates.
Hi!
I know this post is relatively old, but I recently purchased the LG G4 Vigor. While at the Kiosk of my service provider, they transferred all my contacts for me. Bad idea!!! I spent the last two days trying to figure out why my Facebook contacts would not transfer. Furthermore, all the addresses were not transferred at all. So, I worked hard to find the problem. I simply had to Reset Factory data! . For some reason, when they transferred my contacts, it was interrupting the Facebook contacts from transferring. Before doing so, make sure you save all info on your SD card. I took out my SD card, for good safety measure. After the Reset, do not install the SD card right away. Open Facebook and go through login etc., then in your phone contacts settings, accounts & sync, add Facebook, then go to "contacts to display", click all contacts. Check your contacts folder to be sure. Do this before transferring your data from your SD card. Unfortunately, you will have to go through and delete those contacts, from FB, you don't want. At least they are all there, with picture and info! Hope this helps!!!
