After updating to the most recent Gmail app version(2.3.2), i seem to have lost the auto complete function while typing email addresses that are not stored on my phone.
I run two email accounts on the phone, the primary account which syncs contacts, works fine since the contacts are synced on the phone, but the secondary account, which used to do an online lookup(no contacts sync), does not auto complete anymore.
Anyone else have this problem with this version of Gmail?
Thanks
Can anyone please clarify if this app is supposed to auto complete addresses that are not stored locally

I'm still confused about syncing contacts. I have a Desire on Orange. I have a gmail account, and I use the htc mail app and connect to my gmail account using exchange. I sync my contacts to my gmail account using `google/sync contacts` from the sync page, and I sync my mail using `exchange activesync`. I do this because I can see/edit my contacts via the web gmail page (which is easier/faster than doing it on the phone), and because the mail app is better than the gmail app. But it seems that I have some contact information on my phone which is not visible via the gmail website. To pick one example, it's showing as a `linked contact` between 'exchange' and 'google'. Can I see my exchange contacts online? Where are they? I want them in one place, so I can back them up occasionally (I've already lost my contacts once as I set my phone up). It would seem to make sense, given that some contact info appears to be on exchange somewhere, to have them all there - then I can stop syncing with 'google' on my phone altogether, but I have to be able to see/edit/back them up first.
I've tried googling for this, but all I see is Googles own pages for other platforms, non-free apps to do exchange etc etc.

I have the same issues too
Well i don't use exchange, but i can say how i use my gmail sync:
I use Sync/google account on the definitions menu to sync my google calendar, contacts and mail.
This allows me to use mail on gmail app (not htc mail app), calendar on android calendar (i can use htc calendar widgets) and manage online contacts.
Since i previously added my "phone" contacts to phone memory and to a group on google contacts, they have linked to each other and i can mantain an online and local copy of them (this is great to add a hi res picture to contact, since i add the picture to online and local and then choose local picture to be displayed).
I do know that some fields from online google contacts and local contacts are different, and i think this is as stupid as the picture not having quality on google contacts online, but i hope they would solve it in a near future.
I hope that from now on, since google is saying that the BIG changes on Android are done, they will spend some time dealing with the little details that can be very annoying...
Same issue here.
Sync of Contacts
Google-Contacts -> Desire: works
Desire -> Google-Contacts: dosent work
If i try to add or change a birthday on the phone it does not arrive theo google-contacts account. The other way works. Biggest issue on this fine phone.

Hi, that issues are from Android and Gmail and not from the Desire.
You should add birthday dates to Google contacts or else the synchronization wont work well, but i do agree these are major stuffs that really annoy me!
There could be an interesseting thing.
I have Software-Version 1.15.XXXX (T-Mobile, rooted Phone) and i found an O2 User with 1.20.XXX - he said it works at his phone.

Uau! How can he have an 1.20.xxx? I have unlocked Desire also with 1.15.XXX and no updates for me!
Well I now have 1.21.405.2 updated from ota.
I use MobileMe to keep my iCalendar & iMail contacts synced. I just switched from iPhone and can't get anything to sync. Is there an app that can help?
Try syncing everything with your google account. Then Android should be able to pull everything back to your phone.
As far as iMail...are you using it with a GMail account? If so just use the GMail app in android. Its better than the HTC Mail app imho. HTC Mail can do non-gmail emails however if you need that.
EDIT:
Lifehacker- Calendar
Contact Sync
I haven't tested this, but I think it might work
If your contacts are in your address book app on the comp, then you can export them in zcard format somehow and install from sdcard
Is anybody having duplicate calender events with LH1 or LH9? I have 2 exchange accounts (one through my work, one personal through Microsoft Exchange online). The work account shows every calender event twice whereas the personal one works just fine. Once I delete the account and re-enter details to sync, there is only one copy for a while but eventually I get the duplicates. Both LH1 and LH9 firmware have the same problem...
Any suggestions?
I've had similar problems for some time. It happens for me with my work MS Exchange server and my hotmail account. I also will occasionally have duplicate contacts which I sync through my hotmail account.
I've found that if you clear your data in your 'calendar storage' app, it will resolve the calendar duplicates. Though it's only a temporary fix because they inevitably return.
I wish there was a better more complete solution because its quite frustrating.
Is thus happening on latest ota. There are some exchange fixes. In last release I had same problem I removed hotmail and only using one exchange account.

Ok, here is a fix for this. The best way it to delete the account. Follow these steps.
1. Disable all accounts from Syncing, Delete the Exchange account
2. Go into Applications and delete the cache, data and Force Close for Contact, Contact Data, Calendar, Calendar Data.
3. Power off the phone
4. Power on and add the account back and enable all accounts for syncing.
I did what you recommended but this is very cumbersome. And the duplicate records eventually do come back. We just need to permanent fix rather then temporary fixes.
Does anybody know whether the aosp Google mail/calendar program has the same problem (eg on cm 10)?
I'm hoping this is possible.
So on my personal phone I always use the gmail App for my accounts.
I just recently started working for a company that doesn't issue cell phones, but will set up your exchange account on your personal phone, so i've gone and done that.
Everything works fine, accept the Exchange account is accessed through the Stock Email app, and it is also synching my 2 gmail accounts. Is it possible to remove the gmail accounts from the Stock email app? I've gone into the app's settings and I can't see anything to remove them. I can see the option to stop the sync, but that does me no good for whats already been synced.
Any tips?

So, I'm running the Gmail app and it works fine for my Gmail accounts. Additionally I was able to get one of my Gmail accounts to sync contacts with my phone (by adding it as an account), but then the phone keeps showing me the email even though I don't want to see it. Then I added my Yahoo account to the native Email app and the darn phone added all of those contacts as well. I disabled Contacts Sync, but the "Yahoo" contacts are all still there.. The Yahoo account contacts are a mess and I really don't want to sort them out or delete them. To be honest, here is what I want this phone to do (which is what my last Android did easily):
1) Sync my contacts from a specific Google account. Just my contacts, not my email and not my calendar.
2) Sync my email from a specific Yahoo account. Just my email, not my contacts and not my calendar.
I know there is an option that should allow me to achieve #2, but that option ain't working. Its seems to me that there are no options to support #1. I think that the only way to achieve #1 is to configure my Yahoo through another email app.
Please share any thoughts on how I can configure #1 and #2 successfully.
