When I go to the play store the apps I purchased say I didn't buy them. Gmail won't sync. Samsung account won't sync. My contacts won't sync and mostly every thing else like this. Execpt my yahoo mail with the stock email app does sync. I have sync on. I have even tried manually doing it. Everything looks normal. I have tried several different roms clean install every time and this is without adding, changing anything. I have no trouble signing into any account. Its just that nothing is there.
Now here is the really weird part. I made a backup of my rom before I started flashing and when I restore my backup EVERYthing is find play store recognizes I purchased my apps everything syncs. I have never seen this before and I have now spend all my time for the last three days looking for an answer and I found some things to try but none of them worked. I tried clearing app data, uninstalling updates, reinstalling them, and some other things I'm forgetting right now. The only thing I can think of at this point is to unroot and go back to stock. I'm hoping that you guys will have some advice for me. Thanks

Has anybody seen this before? Am I missing something here? I thought for sure someone would have some thoughts on this.

Long story short I never figured this out just went back to stock and everything is good now. Weird.

Yo. So, I've been wanting to experiment with CM6 because you guys rant and rave over it, so I change my bootloader and nandroided my Fresh 3.3 setup. I have a Titanium from my Fresh 3.3 days as well.
So, how do I get my contacts/apps/settings and stuff back? This rom is obviously AOSP, so my settings for Sense-based applications don't have a place. What about my contacts? They were in my HTC Contacts app. Is there a way to transfer them to the stock Android Contacts app?
Should I restore my Titanium backup, or is that a bad idea because this is AOSP? I searched, but no luck. I'm sure somebody's done this.
Edit: Also, in other news, I don't have a data connection. Was there a radio update I should've done or something?
Bump. Come on, I want to use CM6 to its fullest. I tried another search and I can't find much.

The easiest way to back up contacts with aosp is with gmail and google apps.
The contacts should have synced into your Google/Gmail account. If it didn't, you probably messed up by disabling background syncing either completely or by disabling contact syncing specifically.
Mybackup..for everything.

Thanks for the responses. So, Google should have put my contacts back on by now? I have automatic sync enabled and everything, but I've never had it restore my contacts before. I signed into Google upon installing the gapps zip on the CM6 page, but still no contacts.
Also, can I hit restore "all data and apps" and stuff in Titanium, or is that a bad idea?

Better question: Did you have background sync, your Google Account, and Google Sync enabled back on your previous ROM?
Check https://www.google.com/contacts to be sure.
I ended up nandroiding back to my Fresh setup, exporting my contacts to my SD and then going back to CM6 and importing them. Then Google synced them without any problems. The apps don't really matter.
I'm really digging CM6. I thought I would miss Sense a lot and switch back after an hour, but this is awesome.

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

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.

I had this prob few days back, I turned syncing off, then back on. I then reboot the phone and bam! It started working again.
P.S. Under Applications>All. I also cleared data/cache.

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.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

So my dad has the EVO 4g I'm pretty good with tech stuff but this I just can't figure out, his phone was acting werid so I did the first trouble shooting you do with anything power off power on however when we powered it on all the contacts were gone, when you look at view theres 900 contacts but with no phone number any ideas

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
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
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.

I have a rooted gs3 that will sync contacts as long as I don't add any new ones to my phone. As soon as I add a contact I get a sync error. I've tried several different roms and all have the same problem. The only way to get the sync error to go away is to reinstall the rom, but again sync will only work until I add a contact.
My wife also has a gs3. Hers is not rooted and she has the same problem. To clear the problem I'd have to do a factory reset.
Anyone else having this issue and know how to correct it????
Thank you!!!
