My wife's EVO's display will not work. The phone comes on, but no display. She never synced her contacts to Gmail. Does anyone know of a way we can get the contacts off of this phone?

Maybe a Sprint store can help you with that. Maybe HDMI out? Dunno...

Yea, maybe we'll give that a try unless someone else has any suggestions.

It sounds like she truly didn't have her contacts saved to her Google account and they were all on her phone. The only way to clear out your Google contacts is to log into the Google contacts webpage and manually delete those contacts. (As far as I'm aware right now.)

go into facebook and tell it to sync contacts. if the contacts dont match letter for letter the phone wont sync the pics.
There is also an app in the market that will do that as well. I think it is called syncmypix or something like that.
Thanks Ive tried both and the app syncmypics works ....somewhat
It worked for me pretty well. What is the issue?

if facebook doesn't sync correctly you can manually do it. go into contacts select the contact you want and edit it. once in the edit hit menu and there should be an option to join. click that and it should find it or you may need to manually find it. I havent ran CM in awhile so its ruff remembering that. but it should be around that.
syncmypix always works for me, never had any issues.

[Q] Multiple Contacts

This may be something dumb but all of the sudden my phone went nuts. I now have over 40 of the same contact. No idea how it happened. Is there something I can do to fix this? I really don't want it to happen again!

best thing to do is save contacts via google when you save them, and then grab them back from google, ive never had overlaps of double contacts unless i have it saved it in sim + the phone + google, that might be triple trouble. but try that and hope it helps.

I do save them to my exchange account. Just was wondering if anyone knew why it happened, would like to stop it from happening again!

[Q] Notifications not working when phone is asleep

Hey everyone, has anyone else been having issues with Gmail notifications not working when the phone is locked or asleep. The notifications come in a few moments after I turn on the phone, but they don't come in when the phone is asleep. I checked every setting and it seems like it might be a hardware or software issue with the Note 4 that is preventing the notifications to come in during sleep. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this. This was never an issue with my Note 3 and I matched every setting to it and it all seems to be the same.

all those are setup right, i suspect this is some bug with gmail's latest update or lolipop issue but still testing. I do know I'm not the only one

forgot to mention turning sync on, also did you disable background data for anything else like google play services? when I did cloudmagic stopped syncing emails for me, if that doesn't work try using a different client

yes way beyond baisic stuff
Update, i called samsung and had them create a ticket, the rep said they have not heard of this issue at all. Long story short if they come up with a fix it will be after 5.1.1 which carriers like ATT have not pushed out and that means it could be a year or longer before it is resolved. They do not work directly with end customers so we are out of luck basically. Frankly for me this is deal breaker and I might be returning my phone and going back to blackberry.

Contacts always crashing the phone

Hello, I have a stock z1 compact and in the last 2 months every time I try to access the contacts or make a call the phone or contact app crashes making it a nightmare to make calls.
I have cleaned the cash, reinstated the full phone to factory, nothing works, anyone has a solution for this? Or an idea on why this happens? Is it the sync on LinkedIn and Facebook contacts?
Thanks for the support
Anyone?
No idea, never heard of it.
In any case, try to reset again and only sync google contacts, leave LinkedIn and Facebook away. If it still works, add either Facebook or LinkedIn and check again. If it still works add the third one and you might know the reason.
I there thanks for the idea I tried it yesterday actually and keeps doing the same thing I think I might go for a rom instead of stock. Can I do this having a branded phone?
You can do that, but I still wonder why it happens.
What exactly happens? Do you get the option to submit the data to google?
Which release are you currently running on the phone?
It just appears the damn error message of a app crash saying that the contacts application crashed and asking to close it.I am the latest version. Thanks for your help
Probably it's some contact which has some weird letter/symbol in his address. Maybe you could check all your contacts in gmail, if you synchronize it. But yeah, no idea why this is really happening.
Hehe damn computers! Well Thanks nevertheless for caring very much appreciated
