ok, i have been trying all morning to sync my phonebook to google... for some strange unknown reason it only syncs the contacts from 'C' - 'Z'!?!?
Why will it not sync the 'A' - 'C'?
I have went into the applications and cleared the contact sync data aswell but still cannot understand this.
Anyone any idea?
I had a similar problem, though I couldn't see which contacts got synced and which not. Solved by restoring phone to defaults (while rooting, formatting and installing Revolution HD).

Since a few days the Google Calendar has some problems, as you can see here:

But it doesn't affect all people, e.g. I don't have any problems.
Hi all,
Today I ran into a problem with my phone, regarding synchronization of my contacts with Gmail. I wanted to share the problem and solution, since it is bound to happen to others.
NOTE: I have a Dutch phone, so when mentioning menu options and such I am bound to use the wrong terms.
What I did:
I came from a WM6 phone and migrated my Outlook contacts to my new Andriod phone. All went well, I had my contacts securely in my phone memory. Handy thing, it links all contacts with similar contacts from Gmail.
Since I do not use Outlook anymore (it now seems redundant) I worried about losing all my contacts when something happens to the phone, and wanted to migrate them all to Gmail.
I did this; downloaded an App (IuA Contact Backup I think), backed up the contacts and imported them into Gmail. After cleaning up the contactlist in Gmail it seemed to synchronize fine but it also made my contactlist slow. This is because it needs to link all contacts from different sources, which takes up a lot of processor speed. The phone contacts were now useless though, since they are all in Gmail.
So I decided to delete all Phone contacts. When I did this, I lost most phonenumbers (although they were still in my Gmail contacts). Then I noticed that synchronizing with Gmail had started failing, resulting in some drops of sweat and no clue how to restore it.
The error message was: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Apparently when I thought the contacts from Gmail had synchronized correctly, they had not.
What I did to solve this:
I started with a backup of all my contacts! If something goes wrong, I am not responsible for the loss of your contacts!
In Settings -> Applications -> 'Manage applications (?)' -> 'All applications' I went to something called 'Contact storage (?)'. Here I deleted all data.
After that, I restarted my phone (soft reboot, just use the on/off button with long-press and select 'Turn off'). When the phone starts again, it will start synchronizing with Gmail and all will be fine.
On various fora I found that Android does not like large amount of changes to the contacts in Gmail. If you delete (or change?) a lot of Gmail contacts before it synchronizes, I guess it cannot keep up with the changes and stops the process. This will not solve itself.
Help: VZW Galaxy Nexus Contacts and Gmail "Sync is currently experiencing problems"
My new nexus will not sync contacts or gmail. I get the error "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried clearing the cache on both apps and restarting the phone, but the error reoccurs. It has synced some contacts (58 of 141). But the error remains, and the rest of the contacts do not appear, even after choosing to display "all contacts".
Can anyone help?

I'm seeing the same thing, though it's only affecting my synched bookmarks. If you go into settings > Accounts & Sync, it'll have an exclamation by the problem child/children. Uncheck whatevers not working and your contacts should finish in theory. I was able to get all my contacts.
Last time I restarted after a cache wipe, contacts gave the error, but gmail synced for a long time before giving the error. This time, contacts again errored right away, but gmail is still syncing. I'm hoping it will finish this time, and then I'll work on getting the contacts to sync.
I've checked the syncing on my other android devices and there are no problems there, so I don't think it's a problem with the servers.
I actually had the same problem when I wiped my touchpad last night. unchecked and rechecked and it started working again.
Well I hope it's temporary, but I'd really like to get it fixed. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to sync gmail? It's been going for over 30 minutes now.
Bump for a fast board, I still need help with this. I just formatted the cache in recovery and the problem came back immediately.
Edit: I deleted my google account and readded it and it seems to be working, sorry for the bump. I hope this helps someone else.
Unfortunately mine is still broken and I've tried everything. Adding it back in doesn't help. I'm using "[email protected] and my email will not synch even though others do. I have other gmail accounts that are synching just fine. What's up Google??? Man this is frustrating; the email account I actually need most is not working.
I just got my wife a Nexus, and I have been getting the sync error, along with a pop-up saying "unfortunately contacts have stopped working". Gmail is working fine, it's just contacts. This started happening after unlocking, rooting, and installing Codename ROM. I'm running Codename on my Nexus without problems. I unrooted, and relocked hers, and it seemed to be fine. Went back to unlocked, rooted, and Codename, and the problem came back. I'm going to try the previous versions of Codename, and Nova Launcher to see if it makes a difference, but if anyone has any more info about this, I'd like to hear about it.
Thanks
Hello, I hope I can get some help from you guys about what is a petty issue I am having. I am having trouble getting my Google Calendar to sync up. The particulars are whenever I text GVENT and add a Calendar event i get the confirmation text message stating the even was added. However when I go into the Calendar it does not reflect the event was added. I can see the event on the online Google Calendar. If I manually sync the calendar the event appears on my mobile calendar. So I guess the issue is that the Calendar is not Auto Syncing. I have done the following. made sure auto sync is on, ensured the correct calendar is linked up, and even cleared data and cache. Removed account and added it back. I just reflashed this rom and it's not working now. Since I can sync it up manually is it rom related? Or something simple? Driving me crazy !
So after a day of searching I found the answer. Restoring system data in Titanium backup caused me to have this trouble. After re-flashing and restoring only certain basic apps without any system data it is fixed. Yea !:good:
Hi all,
I encountered a rather specific issue, and i cannot resolve it.
I had to send my HTC 10 to service, and as a replacement i had iPhone 6.
I synced my google account on it, and normally used gmail and all contacts synced properly.
Now i returned to HTC 10 and i cannot sync back all contacts the the phone.
I am checking on web, on my gmail account, all contacts are still there, but on HTC 10, both People and google Contacts application for some reason cannot show all contact.
I tried reinstalling, resyncing, deleting app cache and data, restarting phone multiple times...
I tried also so isolate, if those contacts maybe have some fields that cause an issue on sync, so those contacts cannot be pulled on the phone, but 3 weeks ago i had them all normally on the phone....
The contacts that dont want to sync, haven't been newly created on iPhone, all those i had on my gmail account for ages now...
Any idea where to go on from here, who to contact?
Thank you, BR
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.
