HaxSync ICS Sync issue

just downloaded haxsync 1.4.1 and im having issues syncing past the A Contacts
was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this or knows whats up?
the XDA Link from the Android market page is dead

HaxSync issues
I am also having issues with HaxSync and was looking for the developer's thread here on XDA but it seems to be removed.
I am currently running 1.4.3 version of HaxSync on Galaxy Nexus and the first time it synced the contacts everything was fine. Then I swapped batteries in my phone and I am now missing contact pictures. The contacts are still synced with HaxSync, but half the contact pictures are gone.

just updated today to 1.4.3 everything synced but i think i've got some battery drain issues now

Yes, I am seeing this as well. Like 2 hours on battery and was at 50%.
Also, if you want to test out my theory, try pulling your battery and when you boot back up I wanted to see if all your contact pictures were still there or not.

correction MAJOR Battery drain issues 50% in 2 hours, had to uninstall
to late on the battery screwed everything up when i uninstalled had to redo all my contacts

Yep, I am trying friendcaster now, but cant seem to get HiRes photos on ICS

im just going to hold off for now, apparently this facebook sync issue is supposed to be fixed in ICS 4.0.3 whenever that finally pushes out, friendcaster is like syncmypics it works but doesn't allow high res stuff

no drain here guys.

Not being able to sync hi-res pics is a pain

The hi-res pictures issue is an issue with GMail not allowing hi-res photos. If you notice your contacts with Google + have great looking photos, but the others do not.

The contacts that are linked with Google+ in my people app STILL have pixelated pictures.

HaxSync is great... However, since I used SyncMyPix, it actually downloaded the picture and inserted it into the contact that way it was available when I went to my Google Contacts on my desktop computer.
Which brings me to my next point, apparently contacts will use whatever picture is stored on your Google Contacts instead of any service trying to sync over top of it. So now I have the option to REMOVE the pictures completely from the contact and then allow HaxSync to 'faux' sync them or just stick with the low quality version till something more suitable works.
Incidentally, does anyone know of ANY program or extension or anything that will sync the profile pictures from Facebook to Google Contacts? I found one called Google Contact Sync, but it grabs the low quality version instead of taking the HQ one.
Anyway, hope someone can help out with any of that.

Android will use the FIRST photo a joined contact has...
So, if you have low-res photos from Google and add hax-sync on top, then you are stuck with the low-res photos for any auto-joined contacts.
However, the reverse is true... if you have hax-sync contact and then add Google contacts, it will continue to use the high-res photos from Haxsync.
So, the solution is, delete your Google account from "Accounts & Sync," Sync your haxsync account, THEN add your Google account back in.
If you have any duplicates with slightly different names that don't get auto-joined, make sure you start with the Haxsync version of the contact when you do an "Edit > Join" to select the Google version. This will retain the high-res photo.

You can simply chose which pic to use for the contact.
-> chose contact
-> menu -> edit
-> in the edit menu, you should see all the accounts linked to this contact
-> tap on the picture next tu HaxSync
-> chose "Use this picture".
Voila!

^^^^ True, but then you need to do it for each and every contact individually. If you delete your Google account and re-add it, it will automatically keep the high-res pic as the default. Much easier.

Ummm, it's also used no data, so apparently it's not syncing anything for you.
Did you go to accounts & settings, and add your hax sync account, then go into the account itself and check the sync box? because the app doesn't do anything if you don't do those steps.

Ended up doing this for all of my contacts. :l
Also, is there anyway to actually SAVE the pictures into the Contact so it's ALWAYS there? Or will I have to wait for SyncMyPix to do it.

yes, I've set it to sync every 12h. it always looks like that..

using a nexus without google-account?

Hey guys,
i am using all my android phones for a while with all the gapps provided. i really like them, but there are some things that make me angry and really would like to get rid of them.
let me start with the contacts syncing.
contacts app is fine, especially the way u can attach pictures to your contacts, which will be displayed in nice looking hd quality when getting a call.
so far so good. lets sync with your google account. oh well... picutures really look bad now. and each time you sync with it... it will be bad again, no matter what
(i know, the problem is the googleservice itself. we cant do **** here)
but how to handle this? if there would be another way to safe my contacts in a easy way, i would like to hear it.
so first point: no need for contacts sync
next point is gallery. i dont need the sync for it. google does not need to know anything
next point, music app. its fine, but there is no need for me attach it to my google-acc
calendar is nice and will be used. but even with this, i do not need it on other devices.
last two points are the market and maps. here we get a problem
i do need both of them. is there a way to avoid using a google account?
this could be a workaround for ppl who dislike using a google account in future maybe... if it is even possible. i dont know right now

You can disable account-wide sync for all the apps that you've mentioned. Gallery is a little tricky especially if you are using G+ but it's possible. In fact, you can skip signing into a Google acocunt completely should give you a clue.
You will only have problems with the market. As far as I know, you have to have a google account to download apps from the google market. But you could always install 3rd markets like Amazon appstore, Slideme and GetJar, off the top of my head.

the biggest problem i have is the contacts.
is there a way to easy backup them and restore, maybe when switching roms or whatever?
some for my calendar. how to restore it without signing in?
ps: i am not using g+
pps: if someone would know if there is a data folder or whatever, where the contents of my contacts and sms and calendar are saved, that would be enogth for me.
coz then i could just cut it off there and place it in my new roms

Your problem with contacts is bad picture quality..? Then don't put pictures on your contacts.. Google isn't looking at your pictures either. If you want to use the market you need a Google account. None of the information is stored on your phone so there is no folder on your phone that will let you back these up.

You can completely disable all syncing to your Google account if you want, but you're really just making it harder on yourself than it needs to be.
I realize there are some little niggles that are annoying about how its working right now, but I think its a bigger hassle to completely turn it off and do it all manually with a mishmash of other services.

if there would be a solution to have high quality contact pictures, i would use it. no problem with it
but it seems really ugly. dont you have that ****?
just as an example i found on the internet...

this is what any contact picture looks like after syncing my contacts.
if i just attach one without sync enabled, it looks awesome. after syncing, its like the picture
there must be any workaround for this problem...?!?

You just said it yourself.. don't sync your contacts. You aren't forced to sync anything. If you get pictures from Facebook there is an app called Haxsync that will give you high quality pictures.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

thats the point, where to get my contacts if not syncing when switching the roms?
and no, i dont use any social network

STOP
We are forced to sync! Ok one can avoid it if you now what options to be checked and which not. But in first place everything is synced to somewhere. You have to some kind of "pro" to avoid it completly
I had all my contacts accidently synced to google after android "stole" my thunderbird contacts claimed that they have to be googlemail.com contacts and then after an accidently removal of an small hook evrythink went to google.
The best was that my thunderbird then all contacs removed as well, because my phone said "all contacts in the homeaccount have been deleted"
###Just to have my anger put at least somewhere###
To come back to the orginal poster:
Now it works all perfectly well with birdiesync (i read somewhere but havent tried thta MyPhoneExplorer would to the trick as well), i have only an google account for market access reasons. I dont use gmail (as google reads all mails in order have the right advertisement for me) but k9. Just deactivate syncing under settings.
But i cant so far confirm that the contact pics arent downsized. Because i dont really care...

Dropbox activation

Hello,
How can I activate the free 25GB dropbox account on my One-X?
I've installed the app on my phone and logged on with my dropbox account, but it only shows 2GB...

check your gmail account, the one you used to sign in on your one x phone
you will receive something like this:
Hi,
Thanks for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox! To get the most out of your Dropbox and claim your extra 23 GB of space, visit our Getting Started guide!
Enjoy,
- The Dropbox Team
note* only 23GB coz we already have the 2GB free previously

Question. Why did you install the app from the market when it should have been pre-installed.
If you did install from the market rather than use the pre-installed version, i suspect you've replaced the One X version which gives the update with the normal version that doesn't.
I would be happy to be wrong though...

When I follow that link it takes me to the dropbox site wich shows me "get started" You're 1 step away from a 250MB bonus.
Not sure if thats the right way because it asks me to do 7 steps to get the 250MB...

Didn't see it was already installed so I downloaded it. I now removed the downloaded version so the default one is installed (non removable), but I only get 2GB with this one as well.

just sign-in(ignore the get started)
and just to be clear, even the default dropbox that came within the phone will still show 2GB for the first time, you just have to follow the link in the email they sent you

guys i have a suggestion, try to enable camera upload for awhile, take some pics and then turn it off again after the pics taken are already synced, it's not a proven solution but you can try and then maybe it will update your storage also

Rycon, sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you like using dropbox for additional storage with your phone? Is it integrated with any HTC apps? For instance, is it possible to drop music on the cloud and then stream through the music player? Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I haven't used Dropbox on a phone before.

If you want to store your music on the cloud, Google Music is the way to go. You can store 8,000 tracks for free, and stream/download them whenever you want.
If you are outside the US, you will have difficulties installing it as it is region restricted - but there is a relatively easy workaround to get in, and once you have uploaded one track you can access Google Music no matter where you are

I mainly used it for all my Family's pics and short videos, the good thing about it is it is synced to all your android devices and PCs and you can share any folder to any person/s with dropbox account also(so all of you can view all the pics/videos inside those shared folders). it doesn't matter who uploaded it, the shared folder will be synced to all of your different accounts. And I think it doesn't have filesize limit, which is great(others like Box.net only limts up to 100MB per file). I remembered sharing one .AVI movie on it, it's around 700MB.

Still have no 23GB or 25GB. I've e-mailed dropbox. Maybe they can clear things up.

I never got any email either When I was setting it up it said to click on the get started icon on the webpage but since I already had a dropbox account it was already done.

I already had a Dropbox account, and with setting up my phone with the first boot, I filled in my login details.
A few hours later I received this e-mail:
Hi Joshua,
Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 23 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months! You now have 28.25 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options.

[Q] Sharing pics from gallery via Gmail

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can suggest an solution to an issue I am having with my Galaxy note 2 when I try and share a picture directly from the Gallery.....when you are viewing a picture and hit the share button I am given 6 options only (bluetooth, ChatON, G Drive, Dropbox, Email and Facebook)....but no option for sharing via Gmail.....is this normal for a Samsung phone?? I'm more used to Google Nexus handsets, and they certainly have a Gmail option available in the share list.......I'm surprised I cant find this on a Samsung, as the OS is Google's own OS...albeit with the Samsung TouchWiz interface on top.
Any thoughts/ideas??
Thanks!

No problem here.
Gmail is one of the many options.

Probably a silly question, but you do have gmail set up as an account on the phone, right?
I found when i first started using the phone that my options for sharing were limited but as i've added more accounts and more apps they've all been added to the sharing list. built in mail app, gmail app, whatsapp, wordpress, instagram, dropbox. None of them were in the list at first until the accounts were set up.

yes, it's installed...i actually received the alert that you replied to this thread via gmail...the odd thing is, i had the hotmail app installed but not setup and it gave me the option to send via hotmail. when i selected hotmail it walked me through the setup and then sent the pic.
i tried to uninstall gmail and reinstall but it wouldn't allow it...
I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT...!!!
for some reason, the photos i have sync'd with picasa doesn't have the option to send via gmail (i had it on my nexus tho), however the pics NOT sync'd with picasa shows gmail as a sharing option...this is weird...

This was going to be my next question. It seems it will only allow you to share a picture if it is stored locally, except with very limited options. Picassa photos on mine will only share via;
bluetooth
chatON
google+
instagram
messaging
picassa (why, its already on there?!)
S Note
whatsapp
wordpress

It is quite frustrating. Although from within dropbox app you can share via whatever means ... and you can setup cloud backup from the settings menu to use dropbox and sync photos. So this is one option. But even then you cant share a dropbox photo directly from the gallery.
Seems odd to me that there is no official google picasa app too

Google contacts won't sync anymore

My Google sync does not sync my contacts anymore. Not since April 9...
As you can see on the image, it just keeps showing the white wheel. Everything else syncs. I have tried ticking the sync off and on. Restart the phone...
Any ideas how to get this syncing again?

It just happens sometimes on all android phones...
To get it working again, first disable syncronization, then go to settings -> applications -> "all" tab and look for the contacts app. Then click on erase data.
After that, enable sync again and it should work.

I have the same problem. I notice that I have contacts on my phone that don't show up on my web-based Gmail account. I'm tempted to do this but before I do, I hope you don't mind answering these questions:
1. Which of the following do I clear the data of: Contacts or Contacts Storage?
2. Does this delete the contacts on my phone?
Thank you

1.you can both, but contact storage is main.
2.You will lose all contacts by erasing data
First make backup of existing contacts this way
- Contacts - menu - Import / export - Export to SD (OR USB whatever you like)
- Clear data of contact and contact storage from setting - app manager - All - Contact & Contact manager
- Erase all contacts from web (otherwise you may get duplicates) to be more secure you can export your web contacts too to a file before erasing.
- Restore contact
Contacts - menu - import/export - import from SD (or USB watever you have selected earlier)- Now it will ask to storage type - Here you can select google a/c then your all contact will get sync)
- Check all contacts are there then start Sync and check from web if it sync correctly and completely

I encountered another roadblock. I followed the instructions and restored my contacts on the phone, however, my contacts won't show up on Gmail. Did I miss anything?

Have you restore in Gmail account?
You should have small g beside each contact
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

I erased everything on Gmail. Then restored the contacts on my phone by importing from SD. When I synced, nothing came out on Gmail. I felt that I didn't have a choice but to click "restore contacts" on Gmail. The new contacts that I saved on the phone still won't show up on Gmail. So I just saved them again on Gmail. Apparently, a lot of other users are experiencing what I'm experiencing, some even going as far as restoring factory settings (I didn't do that yet) but to still no avail. I wish Google / Android finds a solution to this

Do you able to see 'g' besides your each contact on device?
also make sure contact sync is enabled in account settin (as shown in post#1)

Blue "g" icon = yes
contact sync enabled = yes

Try removing your Google account then add again.

My device is sync with the google contacts on the web but when I check it does still say "sync error" but everything is synced. I tried deleting one contact then refreshed it on the web and it is all sync. Where is the problem then? Thanks!

I hope your problem is solved.
sorry for bad eng

After a thousand tries, the problem is still exist. No matter how many times you delete your contact cache/data, reset factory or on your new phone, the sync problem will be back again. Maybe it's bcoz of multi device sync? Mystery unsolved google contact sync issues.
Sigh...

sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"
<PeriodicSync period = "86400" />
