what usually works for me is clearing the data in your contact storage app(settings>applications>manage applications>running>contacts storage>clear data). this will delete the contacts on your phone, then resynch them with the server..... if contacts do not come back right away, then it is something to do with the connection to the server and they will come back when the connection is restored. this works for me with Gmail not synching as well.

This is so annoying!!! I logged into the facebook app on my evo and now when I try to open my contacts, they're bogged with all these contacts from facebook. IS there a way to remove them without logging out of your facebook?
Please Help!
Thanks

Yea go to people hit menu view and then uncheck facebook. Lol that happened to me when I first synced fb I have 4998 friends imagine that lol
if you want to remove them totally, not just hide them do this:
Set Facebook to NOT import your contacts, go to applications, manage applications, all. then scroll down untill you see contact storage, then clear cache and wipe data. this will clear EVERY contact on your phone, then back out of that and go to accounts and sync then make sure your google acct is syncing and it will reload all of your google contacts. Presto no more FB contacts.
WARNING, this will erase ALL of your contacts, so you WILL lose everything that is in Phone also, so make sure all your contacts are backed up to google or a vcf.
Ok sorry but somebody would wipe everything without being backed up to google ...
Course if you just want to hide em, what nuggy said.
everytime I restore a backup of my phone I lose all my contacts that I added between the date of the backup and when i restore!
Is there anyway to keep this from happening? I keep losing important phone numbers! Im sure my gmail account sees that a contact is missing from my phone and then deletes it from my gmail account.
The simplest and best way may be to use import/export from the contacts menu. And/or your favorite backup program.

When you add a contact you are saving to Google and not the phone right? Also export all your contacts to SD card before doing anything. When in contacts, hit menu, import/export to SD card. I believe you can use this to export them to your gmail too.

Umm, that shouldnt happen...otherwise you couldnt start from a fresh rom install and then hit sync contacts, and get all your contacts back. My guess is your new contacts never synced

well what happens when you delete a contact and then your phone syncs?
I have my phone set to always save them to my main gmail account and not my phone.
So ye, I have no idea where they are going., Ive definitely saved them and seen them in my contacts.. and then later they are gone, if I have to use a restore.
I dont really want to manually export my contacts everytime I add a new contact just to ensure I wont lose their number. The instant gmail backup of contacts is one of the things that sold me on android.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Like delete protecting the contacts in my google account?
Like has already been said, your contacts should be syncing to your gmail. When you reinstall your phone, said contacts should re-sync just fine. Check to see that you have background data and sync on under accounts. Also, go to gmail online and see if they did copy.
Make sure your backup is as current as your latest sync and you should be fine.
Loaded quite a few roms...never had my contacts lost. They always pull back down from gmail. I didn't setup anything special.
Lost contacts
I have been losing my contacts every day since my xperia s updated to ics. Now saved them to the phone to see if that helps. Don't see the point of active sync if they fight with each other and delete your contacts.
Sorry, I should clarify. I was using a lumia 800 as a tester for Nokia and installed my contacts from my Live a/c.
Can anyone help? Unlocked LT26i o2 branded. Android 4.0.4

i cant sync contacs but i have set up my google account, i just can sync calendar... what to do?
Go into Accounts & Sync, in Settings. Tick the contacts option. Or if it's ticked, untick it and tick it again.

Can you access your contacts by opening your dial pad? There should be an option to save just to phone or to save/sync to Google account when adding contacts.

i can save to google acc, but it says its not synced and it not syncs to google.. used latest nighly, rc1, rc2, gapps 20110828
EDIT: have just installed gmail app, and it says this account not configured to sync automaticaly, but i cant do it because i cant sync it, it just says not synced
You should be able to go to accounts and sync in settings click auto sync. Gmail sync should be there now..make sure it's checked (green) if you set your contacts to sync to phone and gmail it should work. If they were set to phone only you might have to edit or redo your contacts.

Try re-flashing the latest gapps.
Go to contacts, menu, import/export, import from sim, choose your google account then sync up.

First off flashing a stock rom over cm7 requires a data wipe which would delete all the contacts he has on internal memory which as he can't sync them to Google would mean they're lost forever.
Secondly if he copies the contacts to sdcard using another phone wouldn't that mean they aren't his contacts?
Or did you mean put his contactless sim card in another phone too?

To check which contacts are synced with Google go to:

on my Optimus G in Calendar/settings/accounts when I go to my gmail account the top of the screen has a message "This account is not being synced..." How can I make this happen? I read a suggestion to delete the information in the calendar and let it re-sync, but I don't know how to delete the calendar info. I've gone into gmail calendars on my pc and things seem ok there??? Is there another way to enable the sync?

are you using the power saver features or greenify it has option to turn sync off/hibernate i've noticed sometimes it doesn't reenable them from time to time, try un checking the sync options and can go into settings from the app and mashed sync is clicked

If you have calendar synced (will delete local data): Go to system settings and apps. Click the all tab. Scroll down and find calendar storage clear data and force close. Check calendar/syncing.

unfortunately neither suggestion worked. When I go to the Account & Sync page, Gmail is not listed. I would have expected that. Is this the problem? How do I add Gmail to the sync, or Gmail calendars. My Gmail account actually syncs and pushed mail.
Weird... Gmail should be added to Accounts & Sync when Gmail is installed. I would try uninstalling Gmail entirely and reinstalling.
As for Calendar... as stated above, System Settings>Apps and clear Data on Calendar Storage. This fixed syncing errors for me.
Also, try going into Settings within the Calendar app itself. There you can select which calendars to sync. Maybe all are deselected, so that is the reason for it saying that in Accounts & Sync?
hi champs,
Please help me. I delete contacts on my phone and they keep coming back.
I have the contacts saved on and sync with google account just so that u dont loose them if something happens with the phone. If i switch the sync off and then future xontacts wont be uploaded in google.
Please suggest a good fix.
Thanks
Do you have any other accounts that you are logged into that sync contacts like Microsoft or Samsung? Check under settings accounts and sync and only enable contact sync for Google
