I'm having a weird issue. No matter which ROM I use... stock, 2.1 or 3.0 Sense, I am unable to sync my contacts through google or my exchange account. It just keeps trying to sync but doesn't really sync. It sync'd a single contact only. Email and calendar syncs fine so I'm at a lost at what's going on... Anyone have any ideas? I wiped a bazillion times with Cal's format all and Amon 2.3 recovery's own wipe option. Tried flashing all types of ROMS but no goo...

Look at an individual contact that is not syncing, and make sure it says google on the top right.
Edit: You have to set each one manually. It can be a pain, but it's worth it when you are done.
Option 2 is to export your contacts to SD, then upload that file to your gmail via computer. All of your contacts will now be saved to google, but when it syncs you will have double contacts, and will have to delete or link each one.
Either way is a pain, but once your finished, you won't have to do it again.
So I tried the very old WarmTwoPointTwo RLS5 and on that particular ROM, my contacts sync perfectly... then I tried to flash some other ROMs but they still have the same issue... =T The only thing I can think of that I did recently is flash the new radio and then the combo file that includes the newest radio and other stuff...
Did you update the radio after the other rom worked? Try this when you install the new rom connect with wifi before you sign into your gmail and see if that works

Hey guys, I can't get my Google Calendar to SYNC at all with CM6?
I think it actually used to sync fine and after one nightly I manually applied the Market fix, Facebook sync fix, and Froyo audio decoder 'fix' and ever since that day I have not been able to sync my google calendar at all (on CM6 only).
Even after re flashing to a stock 2.2 Rom (to try it out) and re flashing to the latest CM6 nightly I still cannot sync calendar (and yes I wiped). I wonder if there is something on my SD card or something that google is trying to restore (from backup) that is causing this.
My hunch was that hacked facebook.apk that is needed to sync on CM6 is causing the google calendar sync issue. But even after removing facebook all together that did not solve the issue.
At this point I am stuck because even after a freash flash of CM6 Calendar still does not sync.
My calendar syncs just fine with the latest nightly of CM6.. I've never had a problem with it and I have been using the nightly builds since they were started a few weeks back.
Go to Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync settings -> 'Your Google Account
Is 'Sync Calendar' checked? Check it if it is not and then hit Menu -> Sync Now

If it were that easy I would not have posted here. I have already tried that. My calendar used to ssync just fine. Not sure what I did. but now I cannot get it to sync at all even after flashing a new version of CM6.
That leads me to beleive there is a problem with my google account maybe or something is remaining around on my phone after a wipe.
I would think the latter is more likely because I can sync my calendar just fine on the stock 2.2 froyo or on older eclair roms.

Hmm.. What recovery do you use to wipe with? Maybe try updating/switching recovery versions to alleviate the wiping issue. Wipe data.. Wipe cache.. Wipe dalvik.. Even wipe SD after backing it up to PC if you truly want to start from scratch!
Hey guys,
I never had issues with flashing before and was using Leedroid 3.0.2 since today.
I decided to try out the new Reflex.S ROM Vers. 2.0.1. cuz it has the new Sense interface and I'm really fascinated by it.
In short: I flashed it and the recommended radio afterwards. The system booted successfull and seemed to be running stable.
Now like everybody of you surely expected, I did a recover via Titanium Backup afterwards. As soon as the recover has been finished i was getting force closes of android.acore and other modules.
I reflashed 3 times and tried to find out what might be the reason for the occuring errors. I was able to make out at least that it had to do with the import of my old contact settings (I recovered the data of contacts exclusively).
I'm sure that other modules might force the same error, but the most important one for me is the one of my contacts, as u might guess.
Does anybody of u have an idea what I might do to get all of my contacts into the Reflex.S ROM?
And please dont tell me, i got to reflash to leedroid and write down all numbers by hand
I'd really appreciate any help!
Save your contacts to your Google Account and sync with Google. It should backup your contacts (you can check when you log onto Gmail but in the browser). That's what I have done so when I change rom, I just sync my contacts back an voila.
Thx for the first advice.
Afaik I'm not able to sync my contacts to my google account after they've been created as "contacts saved on the phone". I would have to add every single of them again and then change the save-destination.
Am I right? Or maybe wrong?
Yes, you would have to add them all in again as a Google contact. Yes it is a pain but once it's done it's done. You could try to export your contacts then import them back.
Does anybody have another idea how to get my adjustments of sense, including my contacts, from a titanium backup of leedroid 3.0.2 Rom into the Rom of Reflex.S without any errors?
Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my contacts back on my new rom.
Maybe I just dont know how to sync *from* google to my phone, I have always chosen the google option when creating new contacts but have never manually done a contact sync with google. I looked around on my google account but it says I have no contacts. I have a Nandroid backup but cant read the .img files to get to the contacts. I'm currently trying nandroid browser but it keeps trying to load without actually loading it. I have a titanium backup but after re-downloading it to the new rom it doesnt have an option for recover, only backup in my contacts storage. I did a nandroid backup before flashing my new rom, but the new rom has a different kernel which wont let me recover to my old rom without flashing a compatible kernel of my old rom. It was so long ago that I dont even remember what my old rom was, but it was a sense based rom. I've tried to find a 2.2 stock kernel to see if my old rom will load with that but every download link I try is broken or the file doesnt work.
This is driving me insane, everything I try is a brick wall. If you guys have some insight that would help out a LOT.
Contrary to my name, I do have an htc evo 4g.
Any ideas? Does anyone know of a program that will read the .img files on my mac? Can I go to the sprint store to get the contacts? I think I've done that before, but I'm pretty sure they were on my phone as well....
You synced your Gmail account in accounts and sync right?
Yeah, it has the check mark next to contacts. Interesting tho, when I went to my google account nothing showed up in my contacts section... I found my old rom but the updated rom manager wont let me install it. I think they're gone. I also found another app (app extractor) and that didnt get them back either. I guess anyone worth staying in contact with will eventually call me hahaha!!
Make sure you have the right account registered and recheck the contacts sync icon just to be sure.

I am currently having the same issue. I have a rooted evo 4g and I did a factory reset and loaded the 2.3.5 rom last night. I linked up my google account with my phone and i got a lot of contacts back, but not all of them. The one's I really need (mom, wife, etc.) weren't there. I logged onto my gmail account through the pc and it had the same contacts that synced up. It was weird because whenever i manually entered a new contact, i made sure I created it with the google account and I synced the account before I wiped the phone. I gave up, and like the OP said, if they really want to talk to me they'll contact me. I would still like to retrieve my contacts though.
ok guys...ran into this with my wife. When adding contacts make sure you add them as a Google contact. Should be a drop down in the contact page...otherwise they will only be stored as "phone"contacts
Hopefully they are saved with a Nan backup. If so expect them to your computer as a csv file and import to Gmail and next time be sure you are adding a new one as a Google contact

You can try delete account, uninstall gmail, clean application files by SD Maid (you need PRO version for this), reboot and reinstall gmail again. Or, do a full clean/wipe install ROM. I’ve used both ROMs and never had problem with gmail.
I uninstalled and installed gmail back. I deleted the data files from the application manager. I forgot to mention that in my last post but its still the same i just dont get the problem. All settings are correct but still it does not sync. Theres another app that has the same problem. Whatsapp syncs well but gmail just wont sync

Hi guys,
I accidentally deleted my 'calendar' files in an attempt to clean my phone to increase the speed. That has resulted in complete dysfunction of calendar functionality. When I use and/or reinstall google calendar app, it simply will not recognize my google account. In accounts, google sync is giving me a 'red' sync error. But other syncs seem to be working fine (contacts, mail, photos, etc.).
I'm guessing this can't be fixed now?
Should I consider putting on a new rom? My phone is already rooted. I've done this a few times before. Is there an appropriate rom? I absolutely need to use the t mobile's WIFI CALLING functionality. It comes in handy when i'm outside the country and have to call home over the internet.
Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks
Have you made nandriod/backup, if yes then restore from recovery. If no then you try factory reset/wipe data. If still problem not solved then flash the stock ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687 as you need WiFi calling which I think will only be available with stock ROM.
I prefer nandriod every week and deleted the old one. It takes only 5 to 10 minutes
