In the samsung account it has both backup and sync settings.
The backup is ok for sms, mms, call log and wallpaper, and I ve used it a couple of times to restore these things when its had a more recent backup than titanium.
My question relates to the sync to samsung account option for contacts, calendar, internet and s note. The only thing I see usefull here is the s note as the others are handled by your Google account. But although I have the sync enabled and my s notes have a little cloud in the corner, I've noticed there is no restore function, so if you wipe your phone and want to restore the notes synced to your samsung account, I cant see a way to do it?
Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not sure I see the point of syncing to the cloud if data can't be retrieved when needed?

You can use sync and back it up to your Google docs

I had to factory reset my wifes s3 a couple of days ago after a few fcs with thenew leaked firmware, all her s notes had the little cloud in the corner but when I re-synced with her samsung account, it didn't restore her notes which is why I don't think the sync is much use

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.
Nicenice...yours was the winner...thank you! & thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it

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

When I delete a new Gmail, occasionally it still says I have 1 unread inbox and priority inbox message unread until I logon my computer to delete it. Only had it with this phone.

It may not be pushing correctly. If you're in edge, it might take a while for changes to be effective. If on 4g or wifi make sure you have data sync on

Have you done a restore from a NANDdroid backup? If so, you need to go into applications and clear data from Gmail. After you do that it will sync correctly.

Hi guys,
I'm facing to the problem to syn the contact from Outlook to Galaxy Note II via Kies (the software of Samsung), but it seems that it not workable. Since I'm very new to the Android OS, any of your inputs to fix the problem would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Kelvin
I gave up trying to do this in Kies some time ago. Researched and tried various alternatives and settled on the free app MyPhoneExplorer. One of the best apps I've used in Android, highly recommended. When syncing Outlook contacts it will list all the changes its about to make so you can check / edit them first. Works over USB, wifi or Bluetooth.
If you can use Microsoft exchange that syncs perfectly contacts calander and even sms. I suppose it depends who your email provider is

Thanks guys, since this is my first android os running device and i'm not familiar to. I have uninstalled the Kies on my laptop and then install it again, now it's working properly thought the transfer speedy not too fast like Itunes that I have used before. Finally, I got it done
Another issue occured right after, when I choosed tab "merge the contact with samsung account" or "merge contact with google account", all contacts in the Phone tab has goned. When I went to the Phone and pressed the menu button, then choose the contact to display, press the "Phone", not any contact appeal. But when choose "the samsung or google account" the contacts now there. Is there any way I could move all contacts back to the tab "phone" that it supposed to be the right place?
Thanks for any of your advices
Kelvin

Check out Go Contact Sync, it is on Sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gocontactsync/ That lets you sync your contacts between Outlook and the GMail contacts, which sync with your phone.
Thanks mate, I followed your instruction but the contact could not sync into the "Phone" tab. All contacts now in google or samsung account tab. Sigh

You really want your contacts in the google or samsung account tabs. That way when you wipe the data on your phone, as soon as you add the accounts back, the contacts are resync'd back to your phone. Plus using GMail you have access to your contacts there if they are in the google account section when using webmail.
After flashing a new ROM and opening S Note, I see all my notes for a second then a dialog box pops up and says syncing. After about 5 seconds all my notes are erased. I have a nandroid backup and all my stuff backed up through Titanium, but no matter what I seem to do they get erased upon opening S Note for the first time. I've tried turning airplane mode on first, deleting the Samsung account and somehow it still syncs and deletes all the notes. Since I have this backed up, is there any way to extract the notes from either the nandroid or the Titanium backup? Thanks!

Are the notes not synced then on your Samsung account? I know little of the SNote sync functionality, but if they are properly synced to your samsung account up front (this of course assumes things are working on samsungs end) all should be well. On the surface it sounds like there are no SNotes stored on your samsung account so it is syncing an empty SNote list to your phone. I am of limited help on this though - sorry!
Is there an s Note folder in your internal sd card? I don't have a Samsung account, but when mine syncs that what it us syncing with. It's basically just updating the app

Yeah the folder is empty. I'm assuming it erased all of it, and a nandroid backup wouldn't include those files. I had turned sync off before because this happened in the past, and sure enough I accidentally enabled s note sync in this most recent flash and it erased them all instead of copying them to the server like it should have. Grrrrrr. Thanks though, I guess they're all gone permanently.
Do you all use sync? I also turned it off because of the massive wake locks it was giving me.

Good day to all, I'm on stock ROM, but I'm unable to Sync like the picture shows. Maybe I delete some apps for the syncing process?
Please help I don't want to flash all over again.

To sync ur snote,u must have a samsung account with previous snote backup made..
If u dont have sam account , u won't b able to sync notes..if u have a sam account with backup made from previous rom then go to settings> accounts> > samsung account and hit sync all.
That's it

I also got a bit different and the same issue. The thing is its from s memo. I used to have the s3. But when i sync import from the samsung account i can see the text preview. But after the import it just transforms to a blank drawing board.
Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7105
I do have a Samsung account also I've already used S Note. U think that what happened in my case is that I've deleted some application related to S Note sync.
Anyway I think I'll have to download the entire firmware and flash via Odin.

Samsung sync is notoriously unreliable. I've had to factory reset to get mine working again on two separate occasions. Now I've given up on it and just use drop sync.

However SNote is a great application, I believe it's the only one that allows writing with the hand on screen and reject the hand touches.
