Does he have a google account setup?? Because if he did is only a matter of signing to your Gmail and they all should be stored there.
Yes he does I thought the same thing I was like its fin Google backs it up but nope not there either

This may sound funny but could it be possible that he has more than one and you're not using the right Gmail account? Well in any case you can go into that Gmail account that he used from a computer and check if those contacts are there; now if the're not then I think is fair to say they're gone almost for sure... Now if they are there then we can figure out a way to get those back in there.

Is he on a stock rom or have you installed something non-stock for him? Also, as stated above, log in to contacts.google.com and see whats there. If they are there then go into accounts/sync, disable google contacts sync then reboot, connect to good wifi connection, and re-enable contacts sync.
If they aren't showing up in contacts.google.com theeeeeen I might try another reboot. Or maybe fix permissions if you are rooted and your recovery supports it.

Not sure how it happened, but for most of my contacts I have about 3 identical google profiles for...I noticed this when I go to send a text...I get about 3 cell #s, 3 home #s, etc for each person...wondering if there is something I'm missing to clear out? Thanks in advance, just mildly annoying

Might be a stupid question but..... have you checked your google account? Are they on there multiple times too?
Do you have more than one gmail account linked with your android phone? If so, do you also have these contacts on separate accounts?
Go to your contacts app and hit the menu button and check your display options too. See if something weird's going on there.
Or you can delete the data for your contacts through the Application manager and let it resync in case data was corrupted some how.

I actually get the same thing but I'm heavily modded and just live with it. For me I'm on 1.1 of Srf and running the honeycomb theme of amosher. Also sync across two main mail accounts with my mandatory Gmail account not being one of them.

Clear the google services framework data.
First, I must apologize for posting in the wrong forum...meant to put in Q&A...sorry. And thanks for the suggestions...I cleared the data in the contacts storage, clear google services framework...reset the sync...unfortunately nothing worked...just weird...shows like 3 linked google accts under every contact...I can delete them manually, but upon reboot, they come right back...oh well, guess I'll just deal with it too...thanks again!

Go to the sync settings and uncheck the Contacts option on all but one of them and then reset it again.
Login to Gmail on a PC and try merging duplicates under contacts/more actions.

Happened to me once.. I've always had my contacts on gmail, but I once used a different back up app that restored my contacts, suddenly, I had two gmail entries for every person.. both on my phone and in gmail.. solution was to go on gmail on a comp and delete dup contacts

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

I recently flashed a new rom on my girls GS2 and she now is telling me that she is missing several hundred contacts. i asked her if they were all tied to her google account and she told me that they were until now. she's had several other androids in the past and always had all the contacts transfer just fine. I work for T-Mobile and i have seen this issue in a couple of other devices before but have never been able to come up with any sort of rhyme or reason as to what, why, or how this is happening. can anyone shed some light on this for me? and if anyone knows a way to possibly recover those missing contacts that would help me out greatly. plus, it kinda worries me to think that one day if i flash a new rom onto my phone i may log in only to find i have lost all of my contacts......
thanks

thats the big issue, they deleted out of her google account completely. on the phone and online. she had something like 800 contacts (crazy i know) the other day and now she only has around 250. ive seen this happen with a few of my customers phones at work as well where one day they have contacts stored to gmail then suddenly they are gone. its very strange.
Umm were they mostly guys number?
Are you sure it wasn't part of fb of fb contact sync?

I am having the same problem. Phone was setup to sync contacts to gmail... but now its gone off phone and off gmail.
If I recall correctly, Google has an option to revert to previous versions of contacts up to 30 days ago. Maybe that would work?

I'm not too picky on my ROMs, I just really need my Facebook sync back.
I tried the replace contacts.apk method and failed miserably. I'd much rather just flash a ROM that has it already fixed.

It said it sync'd. I went into my phone contacts, nothing. I went into accounts to make sure it was enabled and it was and it said it had sync'd.
Rebooted, still nothing.
