I have been some serious issues with this and need some assistance.
A little background. My college (who also has a rooted EVO 4G) asked me 1 day if my "people" app kept force closing. At the time we both had the Synergy ROM. And my people app was working perfectly.
The day after my "people" app started to force close randomly and whenever I opened it. I thought nothing of it until I really needed to get into it. So I decided I was going to wipe and flash a new ROM. So I flashed MikG 2.58 and everything was fine for a day. Then day 2 of the new ROM Google asked me to sync some Google contacts with Google contacts. (I did not sync Facebook yet) Every since then it Force Closes.
Is it possible to wipe all the contact syncs I have done on my phone. I really don't want to reflash.....
Settings > Accounts & Sync > click on your gmail account > Uncheck "Sync Contacts" option
Trying it now
I am trying it right now. I knew it was going to be something simple that I overlooked.
Does this reset all Google Synced contacts or just stop further syncing?
as far as I know all it does is stop further syncing. If you want the contacts to not be displayed then
1. go to your contacts
2.hit menu button
3. select "Display Option"
4. Under the header "Choose Contacts to Display" you select your Google account
5. Uncheck all of the boxes
6. Minimize Google account window and then select the Facebook account
7. Uncheck all of the boxes
8. Minimize Facebook account window and press "Done."
That should remove all of your accounts from view. This is at least how it's done on my phone. Your phone may, or may not, have the same ability and process.
If you want all of your contacts deleted from your phone then I think you'll just have to go through and manually delete them all.
Hope this helps
It helped

Well I am not sure either, but People has stopped Force Closing. I was assuming it was a corrupted contact that was there, but I went back and "resynced" and its working fine now. I greatly appreciate it sir!

1. It's slightly more specific than that.
2. The question has already been answered. Reading the entire thread before posting helps.
Does anyone happen to have the people.apk file?
Hey dude check this thread out. It looks like what you should be looking for is called htccontacts.apk. Not people.apk. The linked thread is for the apk with inverted colors (for a darker color scheme) but should work just fine. Let me know if that is what you are needing.

Hey,
So you may have heard, uk users can now change from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com but now I'm having problems after having do so.
I keep getting errors saying gtalk can't sign in. I don't really use gtalk but it would be nice for it to actually work if I wanted to.
How do I change the main google account to @Gmail.com instead of @Googlemail.com without doing a software reset?
Hi Brummiesteven
There are 2 ways to change the details of your Google account on your phone.
1) Try this (taken from Sizzledcore.com):
Open Menu, and go to Settings.
Select Applications and then go to Manage Applications.
Look for the app “Google Apps” and tap it.
Now tap the “Clear data” button.
Now, in the Notifications (top of the screen) you will see a new notification.
Tap “Your account must be updated”.
Now enter your new Google account info.
Reboot your phone and you’re all done!
2) Change your Google password on a PC and reboot your phone, which should then ask you re-input your Google login details.
Have Google actually made the option available to change to gmail.com?
I know they released a statement saying you will be able to soon but I think you will need to change it somewhere online first before it will work on your phone.
I'm just guessing here by the way.
Make soft reset, I had the same problem and it helped me.

Login to googlemail.com, settings > accounts. Next to your @googlemail.com there's a small link saying chance to @gmail.com?
After you've done so you get a free set of stickers

Same. Seems the only option is to do a reset of the phone. I'll wait untill I've got an hour free as I'd need to install all my apps again. Don't need to worry about my contacts as those are all online.
I just ended up doing a reset of my phone after changing from Googlemail to Gmail. Pretty annoying as I now have to reinstall all my apps and re-link contacts to their Facebook / Twitter / Flickr accounts.
I was also hoping that this might have fixed the Picasa gallery syncing; it hasn't. The options just disappeared under the Google Account settings.
I changed mine to gmail.com but when I log into gmail on my PC it still says @googlemail.com
I still seem to be getting emails through on my Desire but now I get a warning every so often that Google Talk can't connect or something.
I don't even know what Google Talk is, I've never used it as far as I know.

I had to change it twice on the pc before it actually took affect. Try that.
Google Talk is a google IM, however it has to be configured correctly or you wont be able to access the Market Place as I've heard they use the same login.
You can just add the gmail addy as a 2nd account and untick the original googlemail account in the sync settings.
Works a treat without having to reset.
I had to change to @gmail.com twice, but then it stuck.
I reset my phone and I now get Picasa albums in Gallery 3D.
Ah, the changing it twice thing seems to have made my account change online.
I had to change mine twice too!!
Glad there is already a thread on this, previous ways of changing the Google account on Android don't seem to work on the Desire
Stuff that has been suggested which doesn't work:
Go to manage applications, find "Google Apps" and clear the data
Doesn't work, clear data button is greyed out
Go to manage applications and clear the data for everything Google related
Doesn't work, have cleared data for Google Talk, Google Mail, Google Mail Storage, reboot phone, just carries on as normal
Change Google password online
Doesn't work, just prompts for new password, not user account
On mine, all Google mail, Calendar and Contacts seem to be syncing fine without me changing anything, need to confirm all of that. But sending mail from my phone DOES send as gmail.com.
The only thing that is affected is Google Talk. For a start, I dis-abled this and signed out of it, but it obviously likes to stay signed in anyway, because it keeps coming up with a prompt in the notification bar that it failed to sign in, no option to change anything
Why the hell is it still trying to sign in? Might just remove it!!
I just rebooted and now my gmail doesn't work at all. It just says no connection when I go to the gmail app.
Wish I never changed to gmail.com now lol
It seems to all sync OK but I just get this "No connection" error in the gmail app.
Wow i think I will hang fire on this until we have a proper process. Cant believe google didnt send out instructions for android users.
Really good news about the Picasa albums though - that was really annoying me.

You can change it back untill you get something sorted.
I still seem to receive email. The gmail app only seems to load half my inbox though and shows a "No Connection" error half way down the screen with a 'Retry' button on it. I click that, it tries to connect but doesn't.
So to sum up. It works but I have an annoying thing half way down my inbox.

I have a Desire Z. Everything seems to work well on it but whenever I take a pic with the phone camera it doesn't save to the gallery and then it'll randomly show up weeks to months later. Has anyone had this problem?
Also, When I add a new contact to my phone, it doesn't save it under "people". It's saved in some random area of the phone accessable by searching for the name. Any ideas?

Are you using the stock gallery? If so, I would download QuickPic from the Market as a replacement. The stock gallery has a way of mishandling my media, but QuickPic is near flawless.
With the contacts issue... I have no idea. Are you saving to google - not to phone? How long since you've replaced your SIM card?

I'm not sure if it's saving to google not to phone. Is there any way to check that? If I type in a persons name it will show their contact info but if I just go to the people icon and look through the list it won't show them. It's like their hidden contacts.......

You won't be disappointed with QuickPic.
As far as contacts, I'm not really sure where the setting is with regard to saving to google versus phone. It does sound like your contacts are on phone only at this time. If you go to Settings > Accounts > Google is there a box ticked to Sync Contacts? If not, enabled it for sure. I do know that when I "add a contact" I am prompted with the option to save to google (synced) or save to the phone only. Of course, I always choose google.
Perhaps try googling "how to move contacts from phone only to google sync on Android?" Or something like that...
lots say its a bug, appears after GB OTA.
im using quick Pic. solves my problem, faster than stock gallery/sense gallery.

And you were right, my contacts were being saved to google which wasn't checked off to be shown on my contacts list. So I clicked to add google contacts to list and problem solved.

Hi all,
Sorry if this is old news - but its new to me!
Whilst doing some random googling i stumbled accross another forum where a chap had posted a "fix" he had found regarding the lack of push facebook notifications with the official face book app.
Up untill now it has been the one feature for me that has really let android and my phone down.
I am not sure of the rules on posting link to other forums so I will not do that, though I will run throught the basics below.
This worked for me as well as many others on the other forum. Notifications are instant and I have the polling set to never in the FB app.
You need either a blackberry phone, or to download a blackberry phone simulator to make this work.
1) log out of the FB app on your phone
2)from home screen goto settings, applications, manage applications, facebook and clear data and cache
3)log into your facebook account on a blackberry phone and enable notifications on it. Then log out
4) log into facebook on your PC, goto Account settings (click on down arrow next to "home")
5) click on "notifications on the left hand side"
6) scroll down towards bottom of page and click on "other applications" - click on this, you should now have "facebook for blackberry smart phones" - make sure there is a toick next to this
7) log back into the FB app on your galaxy
8) go into setup, uncheck notifications, then recheck notifications
9) set refresh interval to never
10) that should be it
This honestly works 100% for me and other on the other forum. The notifications are instant and it even shows different icon in your notification bar for different types of post (ie wall post or message)
I am running CM7.1 and FB 1.7.2
This seems to work on a wide range of handsets/android platforms.
I dont know how this works. One suggestion is the permission/software the blackberry enables on the FB server is generic for mobile devices and that it is somehow "mising" from the FB app,
All i know is it works for me,
I take no credit or responsibility for this,
I hope this helps somepeople out as it was driving me nuts!
again my thanks to the original poster on the other forum
regards,
anthony
off topic but, i never installed the app because it requires practically every permission in existence, really don't trust it, knowing facebook's privacy issues
fair enough,
but the one thing that has always ruined its usability is the lack (or poor at best) notifications.
untill now anyway (for me at least)
regards
This worked for me for a while. However, I've stopped getting notifications again
forget the original facebook app, use friendcaster

Did it stop working after an update for FB?
Try this login to your FB account and go to "Account Settings". On the left hand side click "Notifications". Scroll down and you should see one near the bottom that says, "Other Applications". Click that and in there you should see "Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones" If there is a check mark in the box, then un-check and hit save. Then re-check the box and hit save again. You're done and the notifications will start working again. If there is no check mark then add it and click save. Viola FB notifications should be working again.
Hi Guys,
Just wanted to see if anyone has been successful in turning off Photo sync. Not sure what Google are playing at but having a "compulsory" syncing arrangement does not suit me. Didn't have this issue with my last android device.
I go into Gallery > Settings and the Photo sync is ON option just wont turn off....
Anyway, a way to turn off syncing all together would be great, even contacts, not fond of being "forced" to do that either.
Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks for your reply.
Nah ,as I said, didnt have this issue with my increadible s.
So yeah not real sure why I cant change that option. I think I mentioned that also.
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks guys.
Have you been messing around with the Google+ app? Both of those options are in the app and can be freely turned off.
And like someone said, also in the sync settings.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Hey, thanks again. =)
No, I deliberately haven’t signed up to G+ because I have no use for it.
But yeah, It just wont enable me to turn off Photo sync in settings...
I have Accounts and Sync OFF all round but the phone just automatically syncs photos when I take a shot or anything....not sure where to and why...very frustrating....
Thanks again guys...
That is strange, I just tried testing it by taking a shot..nothing is synched/uploaded.
can you post a screenshot of your Sync setting & gallery setting?
Attached is my setting (I don't use G+ as well)
Maybe you should remove the account all together in the settings and then re add it and see what it does... I have G+(useless yes) and i can uncheck sync photos no problem... When i go online i don't see any pictures besides the one i uploaded myself on G+. hope that helps!

Well, if I remove the account, I can at least add contacts locally without being "forced" to sync, then I add my account and bam, no, you can add a contact with out in syncing with my contacts... Call me silly but I would like the "option" to sync things if, IF i want too....it seems I do not have the option here... =(
Vennstrom, I just want to say thank you for your time with this, and everyone else here also, in advance too. =)
Arm, I dont have the ticks on mine, none at all, no options to have on or off, appart from syning globally off but it seems to have no effect..that would be GREAT if it did... =/ whats wrong with my phone!!! =( I love the handset but if I just had the options to sync or not, I'd be a happy little camper let me tell you.
I cant even use the calender with an attached account and I "HAVE" to have one or no dice...so f'ing frustrating...why not a "My Calender" or "PC Sync" option like on my Incredible S....
Thanks again guys.
Please post the screenshot of your setting so we can help you figure it out.
What do you mean you don't have the tick??
Hey Vennstrom,
Yeah like no ticks for on and off. Sorry I havent uploaded any screenies...
I have just tried something though... I put my accounts and sync option ON for a moment...everything synced obviously but the ticks came up...wierd... I would assume if you have it OFF globally, it wouldnt sync AT ALL...but you must have to have it ON to turn induvidual settings OFF... Hasnt completly sorted my problem though... I'd still like a complete lock down on syncing...
The Calender is a worry, as in I cant just "display" my calender without it being chosen to sync also. I played around with that and turned it off and on in calender and what do you know...even though I had Calender sync OFF in settings....it still synced... A little flimsy if you ask me...
Its like you can have everything off...but if it wants to...it will just sybc anyhow...
P.S. I read somewhere if you root, you can delete the "sync.apk" and it will NEVER sync...could this be true??
Cheers.

Hey.
I dont think a screen shot is going to help now really, as I have worked out how to induvidually turn the syncing option on and off. I had bigger questions that was all. The calender issue plus the flimsyness of the phone syncing when it wants to even though the user has turned "OFF" syncing...
My bigger questions were, in my previous post, totally lock down syncing and if I rooted if I would have more control over this, that was all.
Thanks to all that have replied and helped so far. Thank you. =)=)

i didn't look much at the calendar or photos but for contacts android just assumes every contact should be synced somewhere. That somewhere doesn't need to be google though. I did a lot searching but it seems there isn't yet an application to get just fake sync.
For contacts i'm thinking about writing a sync provider that just does nothing. That should be enough to get android to not sync contacts. Than again, i'm not sure if i should, because what i really want is sync with my pc and i likely end up not using and not maintaining the "no sync" provider as soon as i got a good way to have that sync without using cloud services...
I'd think for at least some of the other things (e.g. calendar) it's the same, android/gapps just needs some provider that pretends to sync and every thing is fire for them...
I wonder why it seems that nobody has yet started some project for using android with as minimal as possible private data on google servers...

Yeah it'll be cool if I could like...not sync at all. I just don't have the need for it. Its very disappointing that its almost compulsory now. Not having a stab but its almost an "Apple" approach. Haha. At least you have control over icloud, and that's saying something. Android supposed to be flexible and customizable to the end... Oh well, we'll sort it out. = )

turn it off like this, works for me after flashing a new ROM:
option#1:
- go to accounts & sync
- new account (Google)
- enter details and untick every option (backup, etc) on subsequent screens
- don't join G+
- after account is set up, immediately click on it and untick "photo sync"
- open gallery and make sure sync is OFF
option #2:
Remove Gallery and use Quickpic instead
Thanks for your reply!! I appreciate the info. = )
Yeah I thought that was the only way. Cool, gotcha.
I can't thank in the xda app!! I will when I get to my pc.
Wonder if there's a Google service you can disable...
This is probably 2 months too late but replying in case anyone else needed to know how to turn off photo sync.
Was having same issue as OP and wanted to turn off photo sync but could not find the checkbox anywhere. What you have to do is first turn ON sync settings.
i.e.
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> On
Click on the google account. Only then will you see the checkboxes. If global sync is turned off the checkboxes will not appear. You can then proceed to uncheck "Sync google-photos". You can turn global sync back to off after this.
Return to gallery --> Settings and google photos sync should now show as OFF.
Hope this helps any other person who doesn't like to be told when and where to sync.
I got a text from my mom but it only showed her number. I checked a few of my other contacts and found that my dad and one of my brothers was also missing. What the hell happened and is there some way to recover these and any others that have gone missing. Those contacts are not new, they've been saved to my Google account since the G1.
Try re-syncing your google account: go to settings -> Users & Accounts -> Click on your google account -> Click on account sync -> toggle contacts back and forth

Go to system settings>apps. Show all then click three dots to show system apps
Then find contacts storage and tap that. Then storage and clear app data.
Then everything will update
remove the URL in the contacts profile if you tied that contact to a google+ account. That's how I was able to get them all synced.

I just logged in to say THAAAAANKS. That was the easiest fix in Android history lol.
Exactly the same, logged in to say thank you
So, I tried this, and the issue isn't resolved. I have to go in to settings and restore contacts more or less every day. Any idea why that might be happening?
When I was logged into Gmail earlier today there was a red banner up at the very top saying there was an issue with contacts. Maybe it's related to that?
This is the steps to transfer contacts from Gmail to cellphone:
Step 1. Unlock your Android phone and enter the "Settings" on the device.
Step 2. Choose "Accounts & Sync" under the "Settings" section and elect the "Add account" option.
Step 3. Tap "Google" from the list and click the "Next" button to go to the next interface.
Step 4. Hit the "Sign in" button if you already have a Google account and then enter your username and password. If not, you need to create a Google account at first.
Step 5. After entering your Google account, you can see there are many file types under the "Sync" setting. Just mark the "Contacts"
